      My friend suggested to have lunch here and Boy! This was a surprise in a good way. The food was delicious and fresh. I had a pulled pork sandwich with 2 sides which was Mac and cheese and green beans and potatoes salad. All delicious! The server was very knowledgeable with the menu and she was very friendly. The menu counts with chicken wings and burgers and plenty of sides. Highly recommend this place!

      No frills, hole-in-the-wall Hawaiian BBQ with HUGE portion sizes and variety of banchan to choose from (DREAM...COME...TRUE!). Definitely more of a takeout location as there is not much seating inside. I got the BBQ chicken "regular size", which comes with four sides and two scoops of rice. They do a mean BBQ chicken.This was the perfect takeout meal to take with me on the flight back, and conveniently located near the airport. I felt bad eating it around others on the plane, but I just couldn't resist! Until next visit!

      First day on Oahu and came here after arriving from the airport, so this was a great first meal! It is a small hole in the wall place with two tables for 4 people and outdoor seating without any umbrellas. I heard they used to have them though. Luckily there were 2 construction workers that finished their meal not too long after we placed our order, so our party of 4 was able to sit down out of the heat. The sides were tasty and at the counter. My favorite was the japchae and the potatoes that were slightly sweet! The Kal bi had about 6-7 pieces, freshly cooked and so delicious! This place was busy during the amount of time we sat down here but the wait time is pretty speedy and take out is available with Apple Pay. Definitely coming back here!

      If you like to eat plastic, this place would be perfect for you....
      Found this plastic in my food, it was right on top of my spicy pork. I got a really bad stomachache afterwards.

      Will never go back there.

      Looking for some ono Korean plate lunch near the airport come here! Located at the strip mall across from the airport this place is super convenient w lots of free parking. Can be busy during the lunch hour. Got the spicy pork which is their specialty it was great. Also got the fish jun which was good. Lots of standard sides - Mac salad was great - atypical for Korean plate lunch places. Tofu is flavorful too

      The best "hole in the wall" Korean food. The first place I hit when I arrive on Oahu.
      Meat Jun & Spicy pork. The banchans are INCREDIBLE

      Love the food and the service is good. The flavors are spot on and the best part is that it's fresh. I've tried almost everything that they have and thoroughly enjoyed it all. The prices are reasonable and the portions decent, making it a good value in today's market. My favorite is the spicy bbq chicken, because it's perfectly grilled with just the right amount of sauce. Melt in your mouth mmmm mmmm good.

      Good local Korean plate lunch place near the airport. Got the meat jun plate which was tasty and plentiful. They had a lot of authentic sides to choose from which were on point. Also noticed they had a good assortment of grab and go bentos and spam musubi. Good place to check out if you are on the way to or from the airport to quickly grab a bento or plate lunch. At 10a it wasn't crowded and was able to grab food quickly and be on my way.

      Parking super easy with a huge lot.

      Grab and go bentos and spam musubi. Lots of sides for the plate lunches.

      My coworkers and I come here to eat almost every day. It is Korean home cooking at it's finest. Mrs. Kim cooks Korean dishes better than my mama can and her food really hits home. The mini plates are amazing value as well. Best option for quick and healthy lunch in the plaza for those who work at the airport.

      This place was slow and had no customers inside when I arrived, but Everything was tasty and veggie's are fresh. Great customer service and very friendly. Just wish my spicy chicken and meat jun was hot. I live just 2 minutes away so should still be hot when I get home but it was just warm if that! Not sure why tho!!!
