Ordered the meat Jun and chicken katsu plate. I'm from Hawaii, so the hunt for good meat Jun here has been hard, but this wasn't too bad. Good meat to egg ratio, meat was soft and had flavor; I preferred it with sauce. Chicken Katsu was good, panko was perfect texture, chicken wasn't dry. The japchae was a little dry for my liking, but tasted fine. My other half liked the Mac salad which had taste, but the noodles itself wasn't cooked to my preference (not super soft). For what we paid, it was worth it; he had a good amount of leftovers even when we showed up basically starving. Inside was clean. No line, didn't wait long for food. read more

It's a quick chill easy lunch spot Poke was ok Definitely go for bulgogi and the Hawaiin lunch plates if you go here read more

Yummy Kitchen - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

One of the best spots for Hawaiian food down south, Yummy Kitchen always delivers a satisfying meal for your cravings. It's a laid-back restaurant with consistently good food quality, which automatically makes it a go-to on my list. Everything I've tried so far has been made well, but I always take note of how great their sides are compared to similar places. I'm usually disappointed with at least one of the sides at other Hawaiian spots but Yummy Kitchen takes care to make their sides as important to the meal as the mains. The japchae is chewy with a good balance of sweet and savory, and the mac salad is perfect for balancing out some of their saltier dishes. I also like that the sauce on the potato side is not overly sweet or thick. They all go perfectly together with whatever you order. On my last visit I got the kalua pig plate lunch and the garlic fried chicken special. Kalua pig is delicious, rich, and salty. After a while it can even get a little too salty, as kalua pig tends to be, but as long as I've got my rice and sides, I don't mind the extra salt. I took my order to-go but the garlic fried chicken was still decently crispy even after the drive home. The garlic soy sauce was exactly what I expected, both flavors were very present in the sticky, sweet sauce. The wings and drums are a good size and I was feeling full after just a few pieces. I did find myself craving something to eat with the chicken to cut through the strong flavors, something like pickled radish. The radish kimchi comes with the fried chicken plate lunch but not the special, unfortunately. In general, I might recommend ordering extra sides to mellow out the big flavors of some of their dishes, also because their sides are very tasty anyway. Everything on the menu looks good and at this point I trust them enough to make all their dishes well. If you're a fan of both Hawaiian and Korean food, this would be the perfect restaurant for you to try next. A real good lunch spot to make your coworkers jealous. read more

The food...hmmm could've tasted better. At least that was my expectation. The serving wasn't as much as your typical "island" restaurants. They didn't give much of anything compared to other places. They did give me a lot of FAT or "meat" that was impossible to chew and swallow. I wanted to like this place. I wanted to find a place where I can come to for island food whenever I was craving it but unfortunately, this isn't it. Especially when I just came back from Hawaii...so I'm really comparing how good the food was there. It may be pricey in HI but the portions were quite generous and oh so delicious. I hope that if I do come back one day, this place will have tastier and larger portions. read more

We're visiting our kids from Hawaii and they took us to their go-to plate lunch place. It's in a little strip mall next to a gas station. The food is solid! Kinda like a Korean plate lunch. We had the garlic chicken which came with 5 pieces of chicken wings and drumettes fried and coated with a sweet garlic sauce. So ono!! Also got the meat jun plate. The meat was soft and tasty. The plates came with 2 scoops of rice, small portions of japchae , mac salad ( little too mayonnaise-y for my taste), and pickled carrots. It was enough for us to share (we're small eaters though) We really liked the food! I saw they served poke too but didn't get that. Better than some places in Hawaii even! Recommend the garlic chicken! Come here if you're missing local style Korean plate lunch. Thumbs up from happy and full Hawaii residents! read more

Wasn't expecting a lot walking in given how it looked online but I was proven wrong off the rip. When u walk in and the first thing you see in big letters is meat jun, katsu curry and Hawaiian sun cans not aloha made I knew this place was legit. Prices are super cheap and the guy behind the counter got our order out so fast. Plates are stacked to the ceiling and beat any places I had growing up especially with nailing the texture of meat jun that no one really does right even in Hawaii. Musubis are also fat and seasoned correctly tasting like the potlucks of old. Overall if it wasn't for Vegas this place would be my #1 . Easily makes our return list when we move! read more

Hawaiian restaurants are all around Seattle these days, but ex-pats know how rare it is to find a place that does meat jun. Really happy to have found this place. I don't live in the area, but I'll be stopping by here after every trip to IKEA. read more

Yummy Kitchen - Meat jun plate with japchae and seasoned potato sides. - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

We went here for lunch, we tried the Korean fried chicken plate and garlic fried chicken plate. Both were amazing! You get 7 wings, some rice, macaroni salad, cold noodles and radish kimchi. The macaroni salad was our least favorite part, just could have used some more seasoning, that's just our preference. We also got a spam masubi. It was good, could've used a little more sauce on one half of it. But overall, not bad! Will definitely be going back to try more. read more

Empty Kalua Pig Cabbage plate, it was Oono (delicious) Mac salad on point, noodles, everything was good. Good flavor like I remember from Maui and service was pretty fast. Highly recommend if u like Korean/Hawaiian food. read more

We ordered the meat jun plate to share for two to go, and it was good for a light lunch for two people. If we ordered two plates it would have been wayyy too much food. The meat jun was soo tasty, loved the combo of the egg and beef. The sauce also enhanced the flavor. I also love the side dishes soo much, the japchae, mac salad and potatoes were all tasty. It's in a little plaza with ample parking when I stopped by. Highly recommend stopping by to check this spot out! read more

Yummy Kitchen - Meat Jun Plate; Follow me @RimyEats on Instagram - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Good solid eats. The service is fast and the restaurant clean. The owner is friendly and provides great customer service. If you dine in, he brings food and utensils to your table. The amount of food received for the price is outstanding. I never finish an entire plate of food. It's very carb heavy - rice, jap chae, macaroni salad and potatoes. The bulgolgi is very flavorful and savory, slightly sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed with a side of kimchi and their perfectly cooked rice. The loco moco did not disappoint either. I was really shocked by the gravy. Intense & deep flavor, slightly smokey flavor from the patty. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Egg whites completely cooked but with the most gorgeous yellow runny yolk. I can't wait to come back and try something else. I noticed lots of call in orders but eating in is just as fast. read more

This place have been on my list for a while now and so I was super stoked when I was able to finally try it. It's a cute little shop that is owned and worked by an old couple but man, they know how to make the food delicious Meat Jun: this is my first time trying this dish and it was pretty good. The meat was tender and the egg layer was on point. Definitely goes well with the dipping sauce. Soy Garlic chicken: its not super crispy but you get a hint of it from the start. Definitely need to eat this right away or it will get soggy. Tender and juicy and plump The sides that came with these two entree was also delicious and hearty. You get some Mac salad, japchae, and potato/pickled Daikon. We also got a side of poke and thought it was really good and on point. I love that it's marinated and it has some onions and veggies in them as well. Goes really well with rice Price is very reasonable for the generous portion you get. I definitely will be back to try their other offerings read more

Pricing is VERY affordable! $12.99 for chicken teriyaki and $13.99 for the Katsu plate. Comes with all the side dishes We ordered online and went to pickup right away (around 10-15 min drive) and they were already packing up our food when we got there! The japchae has a good flavor and no peppery taste like most places have, so it was very kid friendly The Mac salad is very hard... might be best if they cook it more next time The chicken is very marinated to the point that the chicken has a fake rubbery but soft texture? But I liked it.... Katsu is good, my 6 year old age most of it. I love the food comes with all the side dishes, the food isn't like crazy amazing , but for the price and all the variety you get... I'm 100% coming back! read more

Thank goodness for Yelp! I found Yummy Kitchen by searching Yelp before coming on vacation. I'm always looking for local Hawaiian food and this place hit the spot. Kids ordered loco moco, spam musubi. I order the Korean chicken and my husband ordered a poke bowl. Everything had so much flavor and was very filling. When your kids say this was a wayyy better choice compared to McDonald's, you know you did good. So good! If you haven't been here yet, you need to. read more

Yummy Kitchen - Korean Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

We've done takeout quite a few times and it's always been so great! We love the Korean fried chicken, their japchae is amazing and the only place I've seen that offers meat jun (thin beef dipped in egg)! So good even my Hawaiian friend approves of it! Lunch portions are decent with yummy sides of mac salad (good but it's missing something but I know mac salad is very personal) and Korean style potato. We've tried a few items on their menu but always go back to the meat jun and Korean chicken! read more

Note that Yummy Kitchen IS OPEN during Covid for TAKEOUT ONLY! My family and I got takeout at Yummys for lunch yesterday and are so glad that we did! I called my order in at around 11:45am and they said it would be ready in just 10 minutes! We ordered a Meat Jun (tender beef coated in egg) Plate, a Spicy Pork Plate, and an extra side of rice. All of the plates came with two scoops of rice, mac salad, Korean sweet potatoes, and jap chae (Korean sweet potato noodles). Our total came out to about $26. The two plates were HUGE and more than enough to fill the four of us. Both dishes were excellent and reminded me of the plate lunches we used to get back in Hawaii. The only thing I wish they offered were more veggie sides like sautéed spinach or bean sprouts. However, I know the traditional Hawaiian plate lunch just consists of meat and carbs. Service was great and the hostess was very friendly. We went in to pay and they brought the food out to our car within 10 min of arriving. All employees were wearing masks. Overall: 5/5 for food , 5/5 for service read more

This small family restaurant in a small strip mall in south Renton serves an honest meal. No frills, just good Korean food. Prices are reasonable. The ambience is relaxed. The service is minimal, you order at the counter then your meal is delivered to your table. Pretty basic. We both had bibimbap, a combination of Bulgogi, kimchi cucumber, rice and something else I don't know the name of, all topped with a fried egg. I ordered the bibimbap instead of the Bulgogi plate because although both contain Bulgogi, it had this nice diverse selection of 'sides'. The Bulgogi flavor was a bit bland but it came with a sauce that perked it up nicely. Portions were generous. We enjoy getting out and trying this type of restaurant. If you're in the area and looking for a good place to eat, by all means visit Yummy Kitchen. read more

Bomb poke and teriyaki! Amazing Korean dishes as well. Service was quick and Ambiance was chill and what youd expect of a teriyaki place.

LOVE LOVE THEM! One of the best restaurants around town. Chicken meatjun were really delicious.

I love yummy kitchen. even though they messed up our order and we had to drive all the way back since we only found out after opening it at home, they were so nice about it and the food is awesome. I wished I was closer to this location read more

Yummy Kitchen - bulgolgi plate. so good - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

I was in the area and decided I wanted Hawaiian food. That kind of ended up being a lie since I got the Garlic Fried Chicken lunch plate which doesn't feel very Hawaiian to me. I ended up eating this in my car and it was good. The garlic fried chicken lunch plate comes with 5 chicken pieces, 2 scoops of rice, mac salad, japchae and what I believe is radish kimchi. The chicken was fantastic and not dry at all. Honestly the biggest issue with eating it in my car was the fact the food was still hot and I probably burned my mouth a little bit from the heat. The sides were decent. I wouldn't say they were super but they paired with the chicken really well and I appreciate that. This is notable since I've had mac salads that ended up tasting really bland compared to the main dish. The radish kimchi also served as a great pallet cleanser to go with the chicken. Looking at other reviews it seems there is a chance you might get a glazed potato side dish. While I technically do like potato side dishes more, I do think the radish kimchi is better in this case so glad that's what I got. I'll have to come again when I'm in the area especially now that I've read more reviews that tell me meat jun is a Hawaiian thing and one that I only heard of by reading Yummy Kitchen's menu. read more

Yummy Kitchen - Garlic Fried Chicken Lunch Plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Whoever took my order was so rude to me. I wanted to order some teriyaki kitchen plate. On the website it says chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce"our version of teriyaki chicken". The person taking my order proceeded to say we don't have teriyaki chicken we only have BBQ chicken we are a Korean restaurant. So if you know your chicken is basically teriyaki chicken why bother trying to correct costumers and sound so offended over the phone. Also if you're a Korean restaurant why advertise Hawaiian food ? Hawaiian food is heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine and other cultures. If you get offended by someone calling it Teriyaki chicken when teriyaki chicken is literally a Hawaiian dish. Then just don't sell the dish at all. The food consisted of chicken, Japchae, and Korean braised potatoes. The food is good with good portions. Other than the poor costumer service and defensive attitudes. read more

So good. Seriously go here, it's so good. Everything we ordered was great. I had the pork shoulder with cabbage. It came out in less than 5 minutes and the stewed pork has clearly been cooking for hours. The traditional Hawaii side of macaroni salad was delicious. And I usually don't like mayo salads. I wished I regularly spent time in the Renton area to eat here more but I will be skipping Ikea meatballs to come here instead. read more

BBQ chicken teriyaki - 4/5 would order again. Though the flavor profile is light, it's still tasteful and pairs great with each side included (mac salad, japchae noodles and soy potatoes). Honestly the sides were good on their own, 5/5 would come back just for that lol Garlic fried chicken - 3/5 while the flavor was good, it wasn't crispy or maintained it's fried texture for long and I think that played into the taste. Sides were Mac salad, japchae noodles and kimchi. Kimchi didn't pair as nicely as id hope, would much prefer soy potatoes in its place. Gyoza - 2/5 softer than I'd like with not as much flavor so really needed the sauce. Good for a snack every now and then but wouldn't order again. Definitely planning to come back to try more things on their menu! Quiet, has parking right in front, staff is polite and not overbearing like many places these days + conveniently across from 7/11 gas station read more

I was standing outside another restaurant trying to figure out what I wanted to eat when a lady walked by me and said--"come over here, we're better". I think that kind of charm and spunk is something that can't be beat. And I wasn't disappointed. I got the Bibimbap and asked if I could have tofu instead of meat, and they were ok with it. If you're vegan, you might want to ask that the egg be left of...but a fried egg with rice is one of the best things in the world to eat and mine was fried perfectly so. Heir Bibimbap seems to be protein, egg, rice and sides as opposed to a while dish with carrots and mushrooms and stuff like ive gotten at other places, but I am very happy. Their red pepper sauce is not the spiciest and a little sweet--BUT--My tummy is warm and full and I've got a nice cup of complimentary tea in front of me while I write this. That lady definitely did me a favor when she told me to come over here. read more

Stopped by this little place for dinner. Everything was clean and neat. Friendly and quick service. We ordered the Kalua pork plate, house fried rice with shrimp, and a spam musubi. The good: The Kalua pork was tender, savory, and smoky. The Mac salad was good. Shrimp fried rice was very good. I especially liked the sesame sprinkled on top that added extra depth to the flavor. The spam musubi was also yummy. The only criticism is: the soy potato was a little too sweet for our taste. And, the japchae was kinda meh. Since they're side dishes, it didn't matter. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

This has been a great find for my husband and I. It's difficult to find Meat-Jun in this area so it's great to have a place who makes it and makes it well not too far from our home. So far my only complaint is the Mac salad. I LOVE Mac salad and I don't love it from Yummy's. Located in a small shopping strip so can be easy to miss. I prefer to call in my orders so I can grab and go. Called them for a last minute large order - 3 trays for a party later that day and they were able to accommodate and prices where better than every place I had called. read more

It was interesting to us that there was a Korean/Hawaiian cuisine restaurant, but it did not disappoint! We got the BBQ chicken and Kalua pig plates, which had very good portion sizes. We didn't even finish and we were more than happy to bring it to go. Service was great, our food came out in less than 15mins, which is top notch nowadays. We loved the sides that came with our plate, the Mac salad was different but we loved it. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Just a shot at this place on a whim, since in the area, perfect "Hole in the wall". Mac salad was very creamy, the marinade on the Kalbi is worth asking if they would sell you just a gallon to take home. The gentleman was very friendly, talkative and funny. Alot of customers with to-go orders, and saying their family member referred them and supposedly has the best poke in town, will have to try the next time. Come and support some small business!!

Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review. The food is good but the service is bad. I ordered on grubhub and the driver delivered it to the wrong house so I submitted another order because I was so hungry! Unfortunately when the driver went to the pick up the second order the restaurant wouldn't complete it although I had already paid for both orders. If I didn't pay for it then I would understand. But considering I was charged for both orders and didn't receive any food is very disappointing. The restaurant informed the driver they would not complete the order and that's where this bad review is stemming from. read more
