KTown Foods Waikiki

Super surprised at how bad it was considering how much the non-Asian staff hyped it up. Maybe they really do like it. They were very sweet, so had to throw them an extra star.Always wanted the swirly potato. Looks so pretty and they said it was nice and crunchy. Great. It was so not crunchy at all. Not even the edges had a crisp. Just a potato that looks pretty.Also got the seafood pancake. Hahaha, not very good. The little cook guy was so proud of his creation that had to tell him was pretty good. Yes, execution for what he had to work with was good. But overall, no thank you, and especially not for $20. Neither thing was finished. I'm not a KFC girl so I stayed away from that...based on reviews, it was good I didn't get that either. Would I go back? Unlikely, but maybe I'll try a dog...

Quessadilla and spicy bulgogi tacos were flavorful and delicious. The burritos we had with the kids after swimming paired perfectly with the tteokbokki. I can eat tteobokki every day. Lol It was prideful to see long lines of customers and tourists from all over the world enjoying Korean cuisine.Was great K-dining experience with kpop music at Waikiki with family.

Closed as of 8/11/2024 would have been great to grab a k dog. Spot is currently taken by an onigri place. If you want k dogs check ala moana holy cow. Peaz

False advertisement! Their Korean fried chicken looks nothing like what their menu shows. It was more like microwaved boneless wings doused in sauce. The rice was burnt. The pickled radish was super sour and portion was not worth $2. The fried chicken was extremely overpriced for what we got. The lady at the front pulling in customers told us the wings would were enough to feed 3-4 people so we thought it was a good deal. But the portion was only enough for 1-2 people. The "fried chicken" was so disgusting we threw it away. We ended up going somewhere else for dinner. Would NOT recommend.

It took them 25 minutes to make this disappointment, and I was the only one in the restaurant. I ordered three different tacos, and they all tasted the same. I know Waikiki is expensive, but would you pay $5 per taco for this? There are lots of other options in this food court please choose wisely.

I rarely complain about a restaurant - it's just not who I am - but felt very taken advantage of at K-Town. Ordered the Japchae noodles, which on the menu that was posted everywhere that it was $11.99. After I paid and sat down, I noticed I was charged $15.99 for the noodles. I went back up to the (nice) lady and said all the menus say $11.99 and she said oh sorry the menus are out of date. Well, then you should not be having those menus out! FYI: after some haggling and a call to her boss / owner, she did refund the entire amount but still wanted to post this so people are aware and make sure to double check their receipts for the correct pricing! A dollar or less difference i could probably overlook, but a $4 difference is a straight crime!!

I feel obligated to inform the good people of yelp that the host/greeter of this place has no customer service and only moves one speed. Also seem to have a really bad attitude. I feel sorry for the kitchen staff. I would have to advise to avoid this place.

I love all things Korean and especially Korean food!! This place is located in Stix food court in Waikiki. Great service and quality food. Ambiance is fun too!! Destiny, the manager, made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. When in Waikiki this restaurant is a must!!

Don't listen to the 1 star reviews- the Korean fried chicken is authentic. I think the 1 star reviewers were expecting American style (kfc, Popeyes, etc.) fried chicken. I don't think I've ever had bone in Korean fried chicken before unless it was wings.

It was an odd experience. I went with my mom. She ordered fried chicken sandwich and i attempted to order a seafood pancake. I was told they did not have enough kitchen staff to handle the seafood pancake, so I left and went to another place. We sat outside the restaurant and watched the place empty out as they kept turning away customers due to lack of kitchen staff, yet there multiple workers sitting in the front chit chatting. At that point, it doesn't seem the kitchen staff had anything to do. Very bizarre and poor service.
