Solid 4 Stars...When leaving the establishment, my rating was going to be a 3 1/2 Stars however the additonal 1/2 star came from our server who gave me boiled peanuts to go. He apologized that my fried saimin was not served to me in a timely manner. We were done eating our fiod and he noticed I didn't have my fried saimin.
Here's my story... let me start by saying I'm from the 808- exit 8 home of the best meat jun in Wahiawa Hawaii. With that said i know meat jun and know how one should taste. The meat jun here is not bad at all. Best so far on the mainland. I think the dipping sauce could've been a little better but hey it's still good.
We arrived here around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was busy but glad they had large party tables available. We had 8 of us total.
The server was very nice and served the table ban chan and boiled peanuts. The peanuts and cucumber kim chee was the bomb.
In addition to my meat jun order, i had the fried saimin and kalbi. Omg, broke da mouth fo realz. The fried saimin was on point. Lots of flavor and made with fish cake. Yay!
Although they forgot about my fried saimin, it was actually worth the wait. I'm excited to visit again.
After viewing the menu, this is a Korean Restaurant serving Hawaii style dishes. Felt like I was eating food on Kapiolani Blvd back home.
Definitely a place you gotta check out.
