Sikdorak III

came here with a group of 4 on a late sunday evening and joined the waitlist posted on their door (bummer there's no other way to join until you arrive). thankfully they're BYOB so while waiting we stopped at safeway to pick up some beers. it seemed like they were understaffed which might be why we saw empty tables not being filled. meat was good. they bring out your order very quickly, but the plate is SO small. I feel like it just causes more work when you only put 6 thin slices of brisket on one plate and it makes staff have to run more order and wash more dishes. they were very attentive to our grill change when we needed it but weren't paying attention when we were ready to pay. they're actually the first restaurant I've been to that warned us about our time limit and that we were on last call after 1 hour. it's reliable, but I think overall there can be better experiences elsewhere.

Where do I start? First of all it's dirty in here you would go ice skating with all the oil on the floor. There was even dark brown gunk under the table, I believe it dripped from the grill. If out here is so dirty imagine what the inside looks like. I understand the floor getting oily since it is a yakiniku place but we went at around 12pm. When we left some of us had the dark brown gunk on our feet or legs. There were 3 groups of people inside eating when we signed in and it took about 15 minutes for our table to be ready that is because they bring out all the banchans, cutlery and water. We had 6 people in our party and they left us 4 water bottles, which was probably the best part of lunch since we didn't need to ask them for water. Our waiter came around and asked us what we wanted to start with. You get to choose 4 options so we asked for 2 tongue and 2 brisket. They came out with a small plate with the 2 meats after our 3rd order he told us ordering 2 portions just goes in as one. If they told us from the beginning we could have ordered more variety of meats. We would also order side things like garlic, jalapenos, and samjang. We got one order of garlic per table (2) and then was told "we're out of garlic" and the next person said "we're cutting them in the back" throughout our entire dine in they were still prepping the garlic. And we were not able to get more.At most there were only 3 parties inside the restaurant (we came on a holiday) but the service was still slow. They would check on us sometimes but most time we had to wave them down just to order meats. And they made sure we knew they were annoyed by their attitude towards us. Be aware they did change the eating time to 60 minutes instead one 90. And they gave us last call at 60 minutes with no warning. We ordered our last dish and when they brought the little dishes they were almost empty so we asked if we could just have one more and they said "I already said last call". There was no one inside besides us and one party just walked in at that time. So it's not like they had to kick us out for the table.Most visits to Sikdorak aren't the best that's why we try to avoid coming here (maybe come 1 or 2 a year to see if anything changes) but they have cow tongue on the menu and a reasonable price, and my friend in my party comes pretty often and likes the service in PC. When we came before (long ago) service was great and friendly even on super busy days.but it was just the wrong team taking over.

SO MANY THINGS COULD IMPROVE, that's what could improve. Food was barely edible, short ribs were practically frozen coming out. Other meats looked low grade/quality. Not to mention THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE IVE EVEEEEEERRRRRR RECEIVED. Fact: All this Sikdorak ladies want to do is seat everyone as quick and chase them out even quicker. All they care about is getting you out as quick as they can so they can make the next $30.Got here around 9pm, trust me it was one of the last food places open I definitely prefer elsewhere. We sat in an open table 4 seater by ourselves and they FORCED US TO MOVE to an 8 seater next to people we didn't even know. Saying there's a bigger party, turns out the party of 5 was also squished onto that small table of 4 when they had an ENTIRE TABLE OF 8 OPEN. Because they were more focused on reserving AN EMPTY TABLE TO MAKE MORE $. Now we're seated next to strangers, over the raggedy-est looking burner, that the waitress struggled to turn on. Our server comes up (who made us move) and comes straight to our table to take our order, I tell her we need a menu. She points at the wall (the one she's blocking with her big ol head in our faces waiting to take order). Doesn't give us any time to even look at our options while she's right in our face. Then says she'll come back. We decide on choices as they drop the saddest looking sides I've ever seen. Looks half empty and half eaten DO NOT LISTEN TO THE OTHER REVIEWS THE SIDES ARE CRAPPPPP. The meats looked so sketch, aunty steps on my feet while serving me almost tripping into the table. Never comes back to refill sides, only reason she refills our water is because the girls next to us. Almost forgets our rice, then is LEANING ON MY CHAIR as she's waiting for the other tables order.And now my partner and I have had the runs all day. WILL NEVER COME BACK! If you're smart you'd AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! Not worth $64!!!!! Should've listened and went to Taco Bell instead!

Ate here twice in the past few weeks and it's not bad! I find the price point and taste very reasonable. The sides were also tasty. I especially like their kim chi and mac salad. They don't have all the sides that are part of other AYCE yakiniku spots but I like their low key atmosphere. But they still have other items available for purchase. My partner and I are very full and satisfied after eating here. Lots of parking available. I also liked their Korean seafood pancake. The service is pretty fast, with frequent grill changes. My favorite meat orders are their beef brisket and steaks.

A coworker and I came to enjoy a much needed yakiniku lunch after work and loved the convenience of the parking as well as having the restaurant to ourselves for the lunch hour! It has been so long since I have enjoyed a yakiniku location and love that this is closer to home. We were seated right away and the service was good with both the waiter and waitress being very attentive and leaving us a water pitcher at our table. The food was good and the menu prices for lunch at $20 per person were ideal! However we wanted the additional meat options and did select the dinner portions instead for an extra $11 dollars per person. We loved the pork jowl and the brisket along with the sauces which were replaced often along with our grill changes. The ambiance was nice and the simplicity and peace that we had enjoying a nice meal made the price well worth it. Make sure you try the cheese corn which is a bit extra as a side dish but absolutely delicious as an accompaniment to all of the meat selections. We will definitely be back

Went here last night and it was great! Floors a little slippery but there's a lot of grease flying aroundGREAT service! They were super quick to bring out our new orders and you can get 4 at a timeAYCE dinner was $33 per person. My favorites were the seasoned short rib and the brisket. It'd be nice if they had salad and rice paper like on the mainland so it's not all just meat and rice. Overall very good though if you're in the area

I'm sorry, but not sorry because what in the world is going on with this place? Like since when was it $33 per adult & almost $30 for kids to eat here?! That's ridiculous if you ask me! My 6yr old literally only had a bowl of rice to eat and was charged $20.Why are the meats even getting smaller and smaller? Beef tongue used to be the size of my palm, an adult palm and now it's the size of my 1 year olds palm. This place is so run down! With the amount of volume they have in customers and how much they're charging, you would think they'd have money to upgrade the place! My parent's grill kept shutting off. Can you imagine how annoying that is. The same thing that happened to us 2yrs ago! So disappointing. There wasn't even that good of options for banchan. There wasn't even kimchi!!!! Don't even get me started on the cleanliness of this place because the overhead smoke suction thing that they have... DISGUSTING. We kept having to adjust it because they would lift it to change our grill out & of course when the grills smoking we have to pull it down... Guess what decides to plop out if it in the middle of dinner... A PIECE OF MEAT! And the waitress had the nerve to ask "are you okay though?!" With a tone as if she could care less. I'm sorry but this location needs to be closed. The 1 star is for their quick service.

A friend and her family called me to have lunch with her here since she was on my side, and she said this Sikdorak is cleaner than the one in town. It was my first time to eat here. Because it was on a federal holiday, the lunch special did not apply, and we paid full rate. You have to scan their QR code at the front door to be on their waiting list. Wait was about half hour on a non crowded afternoon.Meats - 4 stars - There were a small assortment of choices of meats, one or two chicken, shrimp and octopus. All were fresh. We could order 4 dishes at a time and 2 different dipping sauces. The fan was low enough so I didn't leave smelling like bbq like other places. I liked the beef brisket, kalbi, steak and thin pork belly best.Service - 3 stars - they were very attentive with my friend's table, but they forgot about our table so we had to always wave them down to replace our grill, order our food and refill our water. Towards the end, my friend decided to give us their plate of meat since we weren't able to wave a server down, and they got another one for themselves right away.Parking - lots of parking since it is at the Waimalu shopping center.Note: there are a couple of homeless people outside the walkway of their restaurant and starbucks. Just be aware in case they decide to approach you while you're waiting or when you leave.

Finally made it to this spot after always passing by it! We came around 5pm on a Thursday and no line. Had to still be out on the waiting list with a QR code and waited for 10 minutes. Inside of this place looks nicer than we expected and a lot more spacious.Service was great, they kept filling our orders for the meat. Banchan were all flavorful and it was a good amount. I like this place better than Gen. The steaks were tough so I don't recommend getting those.

Came here on Saturday for a family dinner. Arrived at 4:30pm an hour before we usually eat dinner because we didn't know what to expect as this place is an "all you can eat" Korean spot. Luckily, there wasn't any wait and we actually got in an hour before it started to get busy. I noticed a sign that asked customers to keep their stay to 1hr and that since it was "all you can eat" that they would charge extra if you ordered more than you could actually finish. For our party of 9, we were all able to finish within the 1hr limit and my kids really enjoyed watching the food being cooked right at the table. We really loved the seasoned short ribs, beef tongue and bulgoki. We didn't care too much for the bbq chicken. The servers were quick and they were on it with replacing the grill top. Reallly enjoyed the food, BUT their bathroom could have been cleaned better.
