Located in Koko Marina shopping center, used to be the yummys. Portions are small for the price you pay. Ordered meat Jun and bbq chicken plate. Not much meat and the sides were okay. The cucumber Kimchee really didn't have much taste. Meat Jun was dry. No dine in option, only take out.

I had a chicken and meat jun plate. The portions were on the small side and the prices were higher compared to most other Korean places. The BBQ chicken and meat jun were dry and the kim chi was probably the worst I had at any Korean place. It tasted more like cucumber and cabbage had Kim chi seasoning rather than actually being fermented. The place is clean. The workers are friendly and the service was fast. I want it to be good because it's so convenient to where I live but I'm willing to drive farther to get better food next time. Overall it was not terrible but I won't be eating here again anytime soon. Maybe I'll give it another shot in a few months and see if anything has changed.

Lunch time at the office this week and we decided on Korean, during the Spring intercession, we had our orders all ready for Kim's, I kept calling but no answer, drove by and realize they were closed for vacation. This week I finally get to try Kim's Korean Bar-B-Q, tucked away, next to Assaggio, back near marina, you will find Kim's, tiny shop perfect for Korean BBQ take out. I didn't place orders on the phone, I decided to order in person, cashier was nice. She got my 4 orders, all vegetable choices written on box. I request for my rice on the side which cost $1. extra for this. Got 4 plates, which consist of Bi Bim Bap, Meat Jun/Fish Jun combo, BBQ Chicken plate, Spicy BBQ Chicken/Meat Jun Combo. Total comes out to $82., pricey now days but this is the normal now. $3.50 additional for 4 piece of mandoo w/purchase of plate was tempting but I opt out of it. Choice of ban chan ( veggies) are great, I was undecided on my choices since I want all of it, but ended up with tofu, kim chee, cucumber kim chee and choy sum. The wait for order is about 15 minutes, I got to check out the other shops within the wait. My co-workers enjoyed their plate and for me my opinion, I only have 2 complaints, the cucumber kim chee was soggy, I like it when it is crisp & the spicy BBQ chicken was tiny cut up pieces and not the whole pieces of chicken. Overall, decent Korean BBQ, enjoyed the tofu and kim chee banchan, and I am happy I got my Korean food fix in. If I don't pack lunch or when we have our next lunch at the office, I would order from here again, quick fix East side!

Haven't gone in awhile but was craving Korean and it's the only option in Hawaii Kai. Two stars because got the chicken katsu that was no chicken and all batter. Greasy and tough. Meat jun lacked flavor but was thick and tender. Sides are good and service is great, the only reason why I'm giving two stars.

Mom and pops restaurant, good and I mean good food at very reasonable prices. Great customer service, fast service. The only catch is the seating. There are benches outside though. I would definitely go out of my way while in Oahu to eat at this place.

Grab and go cafeteria style. A lot of veggie options to choose from! Service is quick too, no need to call ahead. If you want utensils please remember to ask for them when you pay!

Always delicious food! One time they forgot a side order of my mandoo but they easily fixed it. Love the bbq chicken the best!! Pretty quick service and you get to look at the marina while you wait!

Avoid at all costs.Food C+Service D+Takeout only New owners, smaller portions and ridiculous prices. The portions are extremely frugal now. No sides with seaweed soup, just rice(used to come with a plate of rice and 4 sides). The sides that come with a $20+ plate are so skimpy it's a joke. I'm talking not even half a scoop of Mac salad. Avoid at all costs. They must be catering to tourists only and don't care about repeat customers anymore. Abysmal. Look at the pics, anyone who's used to plate lunches know a scoop of each is standard. How does skimping on sides like canned corn and macaroni even make sense???? That all being said the corn was sour, something was off. The cucumber Kim chi tasted like regular cucumbers with a hint of heat, no salt and bland. Meat Jun was ok. Chicken was dry as heck. Rice was cooked well but again super skimpy portion.
