Customer Reviews
We had the lunch special which includes meat jun, bbq chicken, gyoza, mac salad, pickle cabbage with a bowl of white rice. Kim chee on side included with meal. Tasty and filling for the price. It was quite busy for only 2 workers, waiter/cashier and cook but they handled it sufficiently. This place is conveniently located at Kukui Grove Shopping Center, close to the food court, across from Ross with plenty of parking.
Please!! If you’re reading this, DO NOT TRY this place. The quality and flavor of food is VERY low. I ordered a $16 bowl of ramen and was served “instant $1.69” ramen from Walmart. Everything else was bland and low quality ingredients. Besides the names on the menu, nothing tasted Korean. Again, do not waste your money here.
Not nearly as good as Kim Chee 2 in Waialae Avenue. One condiment. No veggies. Tastes like Drive Inn food dining g in.
This place used to be worth decades ago. Now it's a meer shell of its former self. Workers, who I think are the owners, are rude and passive. Food was very meh with instant ramen for $20+. Dirty dishes left on counter tops with nobody insight to clean them. Save your money and go to L&L instead or Garden Isle on Rice st.
I mean...if you were out in the wilderness and finally made it back to civilization...you would love the food here. I had the lunch special and I thought it was mediocre at best. Here is how I rate my meal from best to worst: 1) root beer 2) short ribs 3) plain white rice 4) chicken katsu 5) macaroni salad- macaroni noodles smothered with mayonnaise, disqualified after the first bite 6) Lettuce- automatically disqualified, it was just plain ol' lettuce. Not only was the food mediocre, but the decor was outdated, like from the late 1980s.
