Hauula BBQ

Where to start? Korean BBQ at its best! Service was fast, friendly and food was awesome. Portions are generous and the larger plates can definitely feed two. We tried the Bulgogi, spicy pork, bbq chicken, garlic shrimp & short ribs. Everything was hot, tasty and filling. Rice was perfectly cooked. Forget the shrimp trucks... having been to at least 3 of the best on this island I'd rather go back here. Very well kept place and true Aloha vibe here!

This is one of the few eateries that opens on Sundays for lunch and dinner in the vicinity. This place also serves local, Korean food. My son ate all of his meat jun with rice. He seemed perfectly fine with his meal. My husband ordered their bi bim bap which tasted fairly good when all the ingredients, including raw, shredded purple cabbage, sesame seed oil, and kochujang sauce were mixed together. Unfortunately, fresh, orange colored egg yolk wasn't runny. The orange colored egg yolk didn't satisfy my palate. I ordered their kim chee fried rice because out of all the photos I saw in the restaurant, this dish popped right out and looked very appealing. My husband and I agreed that this entree was super spicy. There was some type of yellow, melted topping in the middle that didn't go well with this dish. Sprinkled furikake didn't jive well and threw off my taste buds. Orange colored egg yolk lacked the runny effect and did not appeal to my palate. This is the first place that didn't have chopsticks. My husband asked for chopsticks on my behalf because he knows I like to use them whenever possible. Instead, I kindly asked the worker for a spoon. There's only forks, knives and spoons. Workers were very courteous. Interior design has a variety of colors with a few tables and seats. Free, limited parking in the small lot.

Dynamite! Clean! Food full of flavor. BBQ outside on charcoal . Very generous portions. If you pass by this place you're missing out.Fast service and very friendly .

OMG... found amazing Kimchee!! Rolled into this place and adorable lady took care of us. Felt like a home town diner met a small Korean joint. The people were super nice, the food really tasty. I had the kalbi and shrimp and my wife had the kalbi. The kimchee was the bomb. Will be back for sure. Now I'm not a big fan of Mac salad and this one wasn't too good. But the rest was great!!

OMG, rolled into this small local BBQ. Ordered from sweet lady, with a wonderful personality. Outside was the chef barbecuing (smelled delicious) ordered immediately and within short time we were served. All were delicious with generous portions. We will be back!!!!!

Literally the WORST Korean bbq plate lunch I've ever had. The only redeeming thing about it was the kalbi was tasty. Otherwise it was terrible. We got the mixed kalbi and meat jun plate which was ~$20 before tip. The meat jun was tough and cold like it had been precooked earlier and barely warmed up. The veggies were the worst. I should have known something was off when the ban Chan wasn't on display and I didn't get to choose my sides. What I got served was watery, unseasoned cold canned corn. Bland kim chee (most likely from Costco, definitely not homemade or good quality) and plain Mac salad. As in, no mayo, salt or pepper, just plain noodles with a few shreds of carrots. The kalbi was bbq'd outside fresh upon ordering and the quality of the meat was good and the seasoning was also on point. Service was very nice and friendly which is why I think the reviews are so good bc there's no way the high reviews are based on food. As a local, I get irritated when I get caught in tourist traps like this so I'm sharing this review not to harm this nice small business but they really need to try harder.

We were headed back to Waikiki from the Polynesian Culture Center and saw the sign for some Korean food. It was also raining so it was perfect to stop to grab some dinner. It is a small place that has a grilling tent out on the parking lot. That is where they grill their meats that give the perfect chargrilled flavor. Their kalbi was good with not too much fat but a lot of meat and the chicken was super moist and Smokey. It came with corn (from the can), macaroni (a bit oily) and kimchee (nice and spicy and fresh). Very tasty little place! The owner was also super interesting. Doesn't seem too friendly but super friendly haha. Meaning, he didn't smile but was very kind and checked in on each table. So don't be afraid to talk to him! He said he was from LA~ Most food items came in to go boxes but if you order soup, that came in a huge bowl (unless you specifically ask for it to go). When you leave, you just leave it on the table and he will clean the table.

Food was great! We tried the BBQ chicken. Service was nice and friendly. Great little place to eat!

BBQ ChixI love the hibachi BBQ taste.Not to happy with the Mac salad, but everything else made up for it! Love the fact that it's cooked with charcoal grill! Delish

One of the few places open on a Sunday. Prices reasonable and you get a lot of food. We had the bbq chicken and the chicken cutlet like chicken katsu. Both very good and quick friendly service.Recommend stopping here!
