After dinner... we were looking for dessert...But...To make a long story short,...We ended up at:ChoGaJip - Hawaii Yup... i was a bit hungry after an unsatisfying dinner...We had free parking in the small lot.We didn't have a reservation, but it wasn't crowded... maybe we missed everyone because it was kinda late at night. Service was ok... not too memorable. The decor wasn't outstanding... just practical. I got cold noodles. They were chewy and the broth had a bit of vinegar in it. The banchan was a bit spicy for me. I was full!It was just convenient and good for late night snacks since they close at 4am. Note: It used to be Masil Pocha.Thanks to my friends for going with me to dinner at a "new" place!

While attending a conference at the Honolulu Convention Center, my colleagues and I were looking for a nearby, tasty spot since the food lines at the conference were too long. We stumbled upon this little gem across the street, and I'm so glad we did! I don't have much experience with Korean food, but I was pleasantly surprised. I mentioned to the server that we were on a tight schedule and needed separate checks for work reimbursement, and she had no problem accommodating us. The food came out quickly, was delicious, and we were in and out in about 30-40 minutes. I ordered the lunch special beef bulgogi, which came with white rice and a few appetizers. The portion was huge, definitely enough to share. Highly recommend this spot for a quick, tasty meal!

I was excited to find a new Korean restaurant on the island during our recent trip to Honolulu. Located right across from the Convention Center, ChoGaJip has its own convenient and dedicated parking lot and access was easy. We had a family member with a wheelchair and there was one handicap parking right by the entrance.We were greeted by the friendly staff and quickly seated. Their bathroom was quite large, clean, and wheelchair-friendly. The interior was very clean and decorations are both modern and traditional in a well-balanced manner. We ordered kalbi, mandoo soup (mandoo guk), mandoo soup with rice cakes (dduk mandoo guk), seafood pancakes, and bossam (boiled pork shoulder), and dogani tang (boiled oxtail). The dishes were tasty, flavorful, and well balanced in spice. We all enjoyed our food. The higher prices reflect the current economy and are comparable to other Korean restaurants. We will return for sure!

We wanted to try a new korean place and thought to give this place a visit. We ordered spicy fried chicken, kalbi plate, and meat jun. It was overpriced for the portion we received. It was just 2 piece meat jun for $22 bucks, definitely a rip off. Kalbi was $27. Look like they only gave 3 strips and cut it into 3 pieces. Small portions for the being overly priced. Spicy fried chicken was dried. It was a over cooked where the batter was dark dark brown. Kalbi was not charbroiled with grill marks. She glazed korean bbq sauce over the meat. Meat jun was was okay. Small selection of bachans. They offered super basic ones. The kimchee was really good tho but that's about it. There was 3 of us and we ordered 3 dishes, we got only 2 rice bowls. So we asked for another ... its just white rice not like those fancy purple rice. Anyways we got charged $2 for extra rice. Sucks we wanted try out a new places. We were unhappy with our food. Eating out is a luxury for all of us now days, so I expect the food to be good. Especially how expensive it is!

Signs may be confusing as well as Apple/Google maps! Food here was all around pretty good! For the prices you'd expect the meat quality to be a bit better but nonetheless we all still enjoyed the meal! The Galbi Jjim was excellently flavored. Meat jun and Galbi were just ok. I also loved the spicy radish that came with the bosam. Service here was great and not too busy so you don't have to stress a reservation or long wait times!

Located on the former spot of Masil Pocha, Chogajip has recently reopened at 1718 Kapiolani Blvd. The staff is friendly and professional, the atmosphere is relaxed and the menu is quite interesting. The most common meats available on the menu are, in order: octopus, squid, fish beef and pork. I didn't see chicken offered on the menu.Due to there being two other Korean restaurants within walking distance, I have my doubts about whether Chogajip can survive in the long term, its major advantage being that it opens at 8:00am, far earlier than its competitors.I always root for the underdog and I wish Chogajip the very best.

I hope you guys take your uber eats app down! It's honestly annoying having to check in how long more for pick up & only to keep serving walk in customers. If I knew my order wasnt going to be ready for the next 2 hours instead of beating around the bush, I would've cancelled my order sooner!! Mind you this was at 10pm where they only had two small groups. An hour later, my order was still "being made", somehow the restaurant was pack with full of people getting their food!!! AGAIN CANCEL YOUR UBER EATS IF YALL CANT DO IT!!

I was excited to see that ChoGa-Jip opened in this location recently and got galbitang here today. It came in a huge bowl, the galbi (short rib) was very tender, and the broth was hearty, not too heavy or salty. You can get cold or hot water, and I asked for hot, and was given delicious barley tea. It came in a pot with a ladle, and I felt transported to Korea. The interior is cozy and very clean. The man working there (not sure if he is the owner or not) was really nice--so friendly and attentive! All in all I loved everything. The lunch specials look great too. I'll be sure to come back for lunch, or a large stew for sharing!

Ordered the japchae and was very disappointed :( was very bland and dry. The very few bits of spam was not worth the $4.50. First time eating here so didn't meet my expectations but willing to try other items, just not this one again.
