Banchan House

Very authentic! Try their pork jun and bulgogi, it's so Ono.I am from Korea and I always look for good Bandhan and they are serious about their Banchan. I can't go anywhere else.

Banchan House. Located on Keeaumoku Street, old Likelike drive inn. Same parking lot where Yogurt Story is. Shared parking. Small tight spaces. Open 8am-6pm Monday thru Saturday. Closed Sunday. Many refrigerated prepacked items. Also, on the counter. Kamiya papayas. Frozen mandoo as well. Recommend: Hamburger Jun, Chop Chae, kimchee, mandoo. Mandoo can be boiled or pan fried, but thaw first Note: Good to go after 2pm, more parking stalls.

Doing my routine dash to Banchan House. I can get in and out of here faster than going through McDonald's drive-through because everything is pre-pack and ready to go. I wish they sold the Korean dipping sauce for their meat Jun & boiled mandu. Today I tried something different than my usual and it was good. I think it is a cornmeal batter with chives and vegetables. Next time I'm there, I'm gonna ask what it is.

We've been loyal customers of Banchan House since it was known as "Keeaumoku Produce" at its former location, from which they, along with other businesses, were forced to move.It's a small, clean, cozy shop.My wife loves their kimchi and other banchan. She recently picked up some kimchi mandu, which she kept frozen to portion out and add to soups and other dishes, enhancing them. Today, I went there intending to purchase some mandu and kimchi. Unfortunately, I was told they were out of kimchi mandu and only had the regular kind.One of my personal favorites is their hamburger jeon. It's surprisingly flavorful. I usually have it with hot rice, but I recently tried it in a sliced bagel, and that made it stand out.I've mentioned a few items, but I don't know all the names of their full range of products. If you like genuine Korean foods, you may enjoy discovering your own favorites.https://bsky.app/profile/raymondkaya.bsky.social/post/3lg2qnsxcdc27

Oh man, I really would hope this could be my spot for all my banchan needs but after trying a bunch that I took home, unfortunately I don't think it can be...I've had better kimchi bought from other places. Their kimchi here lacked depth and umami. I don't make kimchi so I can't tell what's missing but it's just not there. Their bean sprouts don't taste savory either, maybe lacking some sesame oil, and it's mostly just salty flavor that I picked up. I've tried 2-3 more other banchans. All just OK. The only one that I liked was the seaweed salad with a good balance of saltiness, tanginess and sweetness. The staff were friendly and it seemed like things were made fresh in the morning. He was bringing out some japchae from the kitchen when I was there. Maybe I went on a wrong day? Maybe I picked the wrong items? I wish I could find more banchans I like from banchan house.

Have you ever eaten at a Korean restaurant and thought "I love all the side dishes, I wish I could order just the banchan to take home!"?? Well this is your place. They have refrigerated sides, frozen home made mandoo, and freshly made ready to eat meat jun, fish jun, jap chae, and other goodies. SECRET TIP: the fresh eggs are very good too $18/30 egg tray. So fluffy and creamy when you scramble them. There's no place to sit and eat, this is purely grab and go. Parkings kind of tough.

I love this place, just wish the hours weren't so wonky.It's a small store right next to KyoChon. There's plenty of parking. They have a great variety of banchan, and sometimes even marinated meats. Staff is pretty friendly.It's a great spot to pick up some side dishes for your at home KBBQ. (;They're banchan-tastic!Yelp 2024 Challenge: 10/30

Stopped by today to pick up cucumber kim chee. Looks like the prices have gone up on some items. So yummy that you can't pass it up. Fast service here. Area is clean and most items are refrigerated.

All of the banchan are so ono. Especially like the kimchi very crispy. Taegu, gobo, shredded dried squid,veggies for bibim bop, fish jun, bean sprouts.The staff also helped me pack a box to bring home to Hilo.

The best banchan! The prices are really reasonable. All of the dishes were perfectly seasoned! The meat Jun was really good too and the portion is huge. The bonus is that the owner is so sweet AND there is parking out in front. Love supporting local mom and pop stores like these.
