Sadie's BBQ Inn

This has become one of the favorite spots to eat for the wife and me. This is saying a lot since we actually eat out about only 1x a month. Food is awesome and the service is beyond superb. Fair prices, and I always leave satisfied and happy. If you reading this review thinking about eating at Sadie’s, just go, guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I had their kimchee pork rib stew and also complimentary ban Chan. Ban Chan is always flavorful with each one having a unique flavor. Kimchee pork rib stew was tangy from the aged kimchee, lots of kimchee. A very pleasant and flavorful meal. This is a go to place for comfort food.

Great Korean restaurant in the Pearl City Shopping Center, a bit small and crowded but is definitely worth the wait🤙 Havent ordered a bad dish here, the combo meals (Combo B is my go to) and the banchan are excellent. Little on the pricier side but worth it. 5 stars🤙

A fun place for families and friends! They don't rush you and bring refills of sides if you ask. Dumplings (mandoo) were outstanding. Short ribs and fried fish also great! 15 minute wait for a table seemed to go fast. Comfy seating and excellent service too! We will definitely go back!

Firstly, the staff were very friendly and informative with us the moment we walked through the door and they would check on all of the other diners often. Their array of vegetables that came with our meals were delicious so much so that even my normally anti-veggie husband liked most of them! I ordered the combination B platter to get a bit of everything and it was all so tasty! My husband ordered the #5 (I can't remember what it was called) and he really enjoyed it as well. Big portions, lots of variety and the prices were fair. I've only had Korean food once or twice before so I can't make a proper comparison, however, it was very delicious all around so we'll definitely be coming back!

I love their meat Jun and kimchee soup. I only do take out from here and never dine in. So not sure about the service at the table, but on the phone, they sounds polite and nice. Their potion is alot. I can never finish 1 plate by myself .

Sadie's cold noodle selections on a hot day are really satisfying and refreshing! Fast and friendly service. Now if they could just turn off the loud rap music they'd be approaching perfection.

Came here for lunch with a friend and were seated immediately. My favorite thing, surprisingly, was the tofu pork. Though everything we got was so delicious. The service was on it as well, my tea and water was never empty. Try this place out if your in the area.

ive done several reviews on Sadies and honestly, it never changes. This is by fsr one my most favorite places to dine in with my ohana. The service is always amazing, the food though NEVER DISAPPOINTS. I always get the sizzling kalbi, my husband gets their big bone kalbi, my kids: meat jun, loco moco and all the sides. You never wait long for your food to come out and when it does, its always so fresh. Dinner time, sometimes there is a little wait to be seated, but my family and I never minds waiting. There is also take out option if you are wanting to enjoy your meal at home. I promise, this place wont disappoint you!

Awesome service! One of the best places for Korean food on the west side. Service as quick and efficient as usual and the food was great! Will def come back to support small business!

We ordered a couple of lunch plates for takeout. Service was very friendly, took us about 15 minutes to get our food. The place wasn't too crowded or busy since it was after the lunch hour. Portions are huge, so you get a lot of food for the price you pay per plate. We were able to eat some for lunch and dinner, and still have some leftover for another meal. Kalbi short ribs and bbq chicken were fine, nothing spectacular. We didn't choose the vegetable sides but they were okay too. No shortage of rice. Overall a decent place for Korean plate lunches.

Update on Sadie's BBQ inn since today was a Holiday I decided to have lunch at Sadie's BBQ in Pearl City . I've notice the prices have gone up . Of course every place prices is higher because food cost and other things . I ordered their spicy squid always good and their Bachan is a little smaller although you can ask more if you want . Service is always friendly and quick . Support local

My daughter and I came here for an early dinner on a Saturday. Usually gets busy on the weekends but we came before the busy happened. The food here is pretty descent. I had the beef veggie stir fry with rice. This was good. Lots of meat and veggies and enough rice to fill you up. I had an iced water to drink. My daughter had the beef spicy soup. She loves getting this all the time but can never finish it. Service was excellent as the waitress checked up on us. I definitely would come back again if we're in the area.

I haven't been here in years! We were going to Daiso so we decided to stop in for lunch. We each got a meat jun plate to dine in. We got our Banchan which was a really good variety. I was a little surprised at the $24 price for the meat jun but it turned out to be a good deal because I took my other half home to eat it for dinner. The food was tasty and the sauce added that extra flavor. The service was quick. They took our orders and always had our water cups full. Whenever the local korean food craving returns we will come back here.

This is my favorite Korean restaurant the food is always delicious and the service is excellent I would recommend this establishment to everyone you will enjoy your meal

Must write your name, number of people in your party, and phone number on sign in sheet. Then wait outside to be called. First come, first serve. Restaurant is well lit. We patiently waited for a table to open approximately 30 mins. Seaweed Soup: Comforting. Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap: Loved how stone pot served heat hot, rice turned to crispy, golden brown color served with zucchini, purple shredded cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, watercress, kimchi bean sprouts, egg yolk, beef, and shredded Korean seaweed tasted fresh and delicious together. Complete meal. Pork Adobo Fried Rice: Tender pork adobo pieces with light vinegar. Egg whites and yolk neutralized the acidity and complemented the fried rice. Cucumbers with light dressing refreshed the palate. Meat Jun Plate: Excellent meat jun slices that tasted fresh and egg batter remained intact. Light, spicy dipping sauce complemented meat jun. Great customer service. Staff offered refills for banchan and water. We gladly accepted and expressed our gratitude. Bring cash if you prefer to save some money. Accept credit and debit cards; however, there's a 3% convenience fee for customers. Next door there's Sadie's Okazuya open M-Sat 5 AM-2 PM.

I had seen Sadies BBQ in some IG posts and maybe another yelp review, so it was time to try it on our way back to town from further West. When you walk in, it's a homey mom&pop shop with okazuya in the front (closed due to plumbing issues that day). We were seated immediately, and the tables were already cleaned/set. Didn't feel rushed at all, but our servers came around quickly to bring water and take our orders. They even adjusted the spiciness on the garlic chicken to make it more mild. I ordered the meat jun -- which is just how we judge our Korean restaurants in Hawaii, isn't it? Meat jun was tasty, super tender, nice and crispy edges. I liked their dipping sauce as well. It's on the sweeter side, but that's how we like it. My only gripe - it's pretty pricey! Garlic chicken was clearly freshly fried and tossed in that sauce. It was really good, however, I'd still prefer meat jun - just my tastes. I loved that there was an assortment of ban chan and that our server asked if we wanted more, and that our initial broccoli (which I inhaled) happened to have a sneaky stowaway piece of bean sprout, which told me they had bean sprouts, which allowed me to ask them to give us more. And cabbage. And shoyu potatoes. And something tells me they have chapchae back there too, so just ask! Friendly and efficient staff here. I never ran out of water. And we were brought a takeout box to wrap up the rest of that generous portion of garlic chicken to go. I do think the prices are a bit steep, even for Hawaii, but that's reality these days. And I would still support local if I were hungry for local Korean and in the area! You can tell these guys work hard, appreciate their customers, and really just want to feed them well. Also would like to see that okazuya in action someday!

Family friendly, great service. Really appreciate all the attention they gave, they gave us a small plate for the kiddo. Always welcoming and flavors never disappoint.

Sadie's BBQ Inn Overall: ***** Highly Recommended ***** Food: ***** Value: *** Menu: **** Ambiance: *** Service: **** Parking: ***** (lots, free, close) After watching Tommy_Eat's reel https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6FFWFVyk4n/?igsh=ZTVwdzU3OXgwb3Q4 I decided to give Sadie's a try again and I'm happy I did. I would agree that Sadie's Kalbi is one of the best and their Spicy Garlic Shrimp is the best! Broke da Mouth!

First Time here. Actually still here while posting this. I got one word about how I feel about this place. And that is, "I'll definitely be back!"

This was our 3rd visit to Sadie's and not our last. We arrived before the rush and was seated in a few minutes. We ordered the spicy pork, miso butterflies, and soft tofu soup. The meal includes tasty Banchan which refills when requested. The cucumber Kim chee was our favorite- flavorful and crunchy! Spicy pork hits the spot everytime and comes out sizzling on a hot plate. Perfect amount of spice for us. Soft tofu soup was spicy but it didn't stop me from eating it up. It's like an addictive spice that kept me going. We forgot we ordered the miso butterfish and was stuffed when it came out. It didn't stop us from tasting the soft, flavorful dish. (took it home for lunch the next day) It was packed and service was great. We were checked on several times. Checkout was a breeze. The restaurant feels intimate, small enough to keep up with the customers yet large enough we weren't cramped. The bathrooms are located in the back and was clean and tidy. Previous visits we've tried the Sadie's special: King Kalbi (melt in your mouth), BBQ Chicken (juicy), and Meat Jun (perfect egg to meat ratio). If you roll up to Sadie's and there's a wait- it will be worth it. Take a trip to Daiso or Ben Franklin to pass the time.

Upon returning from Korea, the crave for the food is real! Sadie's was the choice. They were so busy but we walked in at the right time and were seated immediately. Water and menus brought to the table. Not gonna lie, when I opened the menu the sticker shock! Proceeded to order and a combo plate with BBQ chicken, fish jun, kalbi, with a piece of mandoo. The plate also came with a scoop of rice and several types of banchan. This was 24.95. I also ordered a Kim Chee pancake. I believe this was about 17.95. Food took about 10-15 minutes which was pretty quick considering how busy they were. When the food arrived, OMG! The size and portions were huge. Pancake was so good. Full of flavor and quite fluffy. Everything was seasoned well and had so much flavor. Service was on point. Our server was so efficient and although busy, water refilled and checked on us several times. I'd for sure return!

This is our favorite go-to Korean food restaurant with the happiest and hard-working hostesses/servers

So was craving some Korean food and decided to order takeout The food was great as always where we got the Sadie's special and spicy stir fried squid We will be returning but I need to Update information from my last review, Since I was informed by the server at the counter of my misunderstanding on my part from my last post that I need to correct. 1. There's no military discount anymore and I was corrected that before it was only for active duty Not including retirees, and veterans. 2. There's a surcharge if using credit cards

If you're ever in the Pearl city area craving Korean food, this is a MUST visit place. My mother and I love coming to place. It is located near Ben Franklin, Daiso, and Longs. We try to come after lunch or if we are having an early dinner. Best times to get a seat! The ambiance is geared towards a family style or casual dinner setting. They will make adjustments to accommodate big parties! When we came we ordered: Miso butterfish: honestly my favorite. Fish is moist and soft. Just be careful since there are bones. BUT IT IS SO ONO AND BUTTERY! Combo plate: my mother honestly enjoyed herself. She loves to have a variety of food when eating. She told me that she loved everything on her plate. Kimchee Pancake: If you're a Kimchee lover, it is a must try. It is a thick battered pancake. Eating it with their provided sauce is the cherry on top! I will say the customer service is amazing. Every waiter there is attentive and always open to help/answer your questions. This is a must visit place to dine in

My son recommend that we try Sadie 's BBQ in Pearl City. Sadie's is located by Daiso and Ben Franklin. Lots of parking. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, all of the waitresses were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you. There were so many items on the menu, but my son and I decided to share the Sadie's Special. It included two scoops of rice, banchan (see photo) and King Kalbi, BBQ Chicken, Meat Jun, Fried Shrimp, and Mandoo (see photo). On the side, they provided sauce for the Meat Jun. Everything was so delicious. However, the rice that was served, could have been a little better. The rice was a bit dry. The atmosphere is very casual. I cannot wait to go back again.

Went to Sadie's Bbq today and had the most amazing food and the best waitress who helped me and my hubby!! Mahalo for being super awesome and encouraging us to keep getting more ono banchan!! Hehehe. Mahalo again and we look forward to returning asap!!

Ordered take out. The corvina was good. Fried well and tasty. The meat jun was soft and has good flavor. The banchan was delicious. Kimchi had good heat. Broccoli was very garlicky- yum!, Seaweed was sweet and salty. They appeared to be busy. We would come back again.

It's been forever since I've dined at Sadie's (last time I went, they still had their salad/banchan bar so that's how long ago it was for reference lol) I remember the food being good.. I don't remember the food being massively huge! My mom and boyfriend got the combo B and meat jun and the plates were like full arms lengths long! I tried my moms spicy pork and that was super good - cuts weren't too thin so you can taste the pork without the marinade overpowering it. The mandoo was also huge like almost the size of a fist lol. Very big portions and very delicious. I got the seafood pancake and yes, it was also gigantic. It was ok - I couldn't really taste the seafood, not sure if the batter is too thick or the seafood pieces were just too small to taste. Meat jun was really thin but still good. Service is super fast and the food comes out piping hot. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

The workers are welcoming, very attentive without hovering over you. The food is Super Delicious and the portions are large so much we had to take home what we couldn't eat! It's worth more than what you pay for! We go there at least once a month.

King Kalbi was delish! Meat Jun was good too. The mandoo noodles and nengmyun were not our fave. Excellent service and great banchan!

Have t been here in a long time. The place looks fresher up. Ordered the Daily Soecial- Ginseng Chicken Soup and a new item, Mild Pork with tofu. Unfortunately both of those items didn't come with rice or banchan. The server said that there is rice (a little bit) inside the chicken cavity and that the Pork and Tofu is a side dish. So we had to order a side order of rice. Go figure! I've always been provide w a bowl of rice with Ginseng Chicken Soup at every other Korean restaurant offering this menu item. They served 3 kinds of banchan, fish cake, cabbage Kim chee, and cucumber Kim chee. The pork was just a bit spicy with a kinda sweet sauce. The tofu was plain so it off set the flavorful pork. The Ginseng Chicken Soup was good.

Tried Sadie's BBQ for lunch. It was its usual busy but they have you add your phone number and call you when they're ready for you. Friendly staff in a hole in the wall. They make great use of the space they have. The barchan was of nice variety and all tasted great! We ordered the seafood pancake and galbi and chicken Katsu. We would've ordered more but the sticker shock of the prices - decided to leave it at a minimum so we could afford the galbi. The cats came out about 20 minutes after the rest of the food and was overcooked. The seafood pancake was crispy and delicious. Galbi was good but honestly extremely overprices when 2 pieces were just bone. Im glad we finally got to try it but there are other places with higher quality that are cheaper so likely won't return. However if you need a good meal and in that shopping center, you won't go wrong....just have some money.

Good food. Great and fast service. Their banchan are tasty especially cucumber and seaweed.

The food is excellent, service is superb, and the place is awesome. Lots of free parking, food is priced right and huge portions. Highly recommended.

Came back here to take my brother law to his favorite Korean restaurant . The food always good. Service is Excellent. Located in the Pearl City Shopping Center. Aloha, Derek

Portions are large enough for two to enjoy or leftovers. Their spicy pork is a winner and our favorite.

What's for dinner? Korean style! I'm almost tempted not to write this as I'm afraid to let this secret out. I was asked what's my favorite Korean restaurant. I have to say that I love their tasty Meat Jun and Japchae at Sadie's. Their Banchan is a delightful selection of delicious vegetables. Tonight we ordered it "family style" so we could share what we ordered as pictured. It's a quaint restaurant with mostly booth seating located at shopping center next to Ben Franklin in Pearl City. The wait staff is always smiling and friendly. A perfect place for the family to have a nice sit down dinner together. If it's busy, don't forget to sign in on their wait list. Okay, my secret place to have delicious Korean food is out!

It's so hard to find good Korean food on the west side. I finally found one but last time I went was about a month ago it wasn't so great. We ordered the seafood pancake for the first time and was excited to try it. When we got the pancake it was so thick and burnt on the bottom and it wasn't even cooked on the inside. We asked the waiter (older waitress with long hair) if it's supposed to be that way and she brought it back to the owner and the owner told her that's how we make it. What the heck?!?' Foreal? We paid for it and just threw it away when we got home. Such a waste of money. And for the owner to say that was the quality they put out? Wow! We go in today to give it a second chance. Same waitress, good service, smiling, refilling our water until I asked about the 3% surcharge since I was using my debit card and didn't want to get charged. I just wanted clarification. She didn't understand the policy herself so she asked the "younger waitress" which we love bc she's always so nice to us and she clarified it. I put in a tip amount and Our waitress (the one that got irritated bc I asked a question she didn't know the answer to printed my receipt and threw it on the table and walked away. There was no "thank you" or eye contact even after I tipped lol. What a joke. Idk about Sadie's being our go to Korean restaurant anymore.

First time trying a place we frequently pass. The kalbi craving was real AND it was met at this lovely establishment. Customer service: 5/5 Food taste, portion, and price: 4/5 --4 because my lack of food knowledge on the banchan plate, middle item, someone please help me out lol what's it called? Dining in: 5/5 Ordered: Sadie's Special. Meat jun and chicken was good! The meat jun sauce was spectacular! Big bone kalbi was also very tasty and nicely charred! Will be back to dive into other house specialties! :)

Okazu in the morning. Food looks cold. The sweet and sour spare ribs and the shoyu chicken looks like it been sitting, looks dry and the fat look like it will turn white. The warmer is not hot or even on. No heat lamps. The ac is cold can feel it coming through the order window. They have very little selection. I ordered fried rice which looks good. Spam that look dry and link sausage also sitting dry. And a Coke bottle that came right out the refrigerator. I open the Coke bottle to drink it as soon as I left that place. Drink was warm. There are no condiments. No ketchup, salt, pepper. That's sad. That's bad I had to go home and wam up the food I just bought. I would avoid this place. I'm not coming back. No wonder there's no one here, lining up to eat here. As for the restaurant side I haven't tried it. I can't rate that side.

This is definitely my "Go To" place for kimchi pancake!! And I didn't hesitate one bit when asked, "where do you want to go for your birthday dinner?' Service was quick, friendly and on-point as always! 감사합니다

Food always hit. 10/10 every single time. When I'm happy: get Sadie's. When I'm sad: get Sadie's. When you're whatever: get Sadie's. This spot will always be in my top 5.

Always stick with the bbq combos & meat jun! Not sure what marinade they use but super tasty! Comes with banchan (side small dishes) with your meal. And of course don't leave without trying one of their soups or noodle dishes, you can't go wrong.

Glad they're doing good business but they're closed from 3-4 pm for now That's what their sign said. Because the business is so good they need to close daily. Hopefully, this will just be temporary

We have gone to Sadie's as a group for several years and have enjoyed the food and service. However, this last time, we noticed that the prices have skyrocketed. For our party of seven, our bill was around $145. With the tip, it was over $180. The thing is, three members of our group only ate an appetizer. Two of them ate the five-piece mandu, and the other had the fried zucchini. Two of us had miso butterfish, one person had Kalbi, and the other had kimchee soup. The miso butterfish wasn't filleted as you'd find at most restaurants. Instead, the chef sliced it across the main bone. That cut means there are tons of bones everywhere in the fish. We couldn't finish the last piece because we were tired of picking out bones and swallowing the ones we missed. Do not order the butterfish from Sadie's. You will regret it. Another thing is the women's bathroom ran out of toilet paper. My stepdaughter told the waitress about the issue before our orders arrived. Before we left, I went to use the bathroom, and there was still no toilet paper. That is very inconvenient for a woman. We may have been priced out of Sadie's by now and will have to find another Korean restaurant to take our large groups to in the future. So sad.

Sadie's kimchee pancake got me hooked, so I'm back for the indoor dining experience. After weeks of ordering take out from Sadie's, I had the perfect opportunity to dine in on a Tuesday evening when other restaurants are closed. This place brought me back to my favorite late night Korean restaurant in El Lay (LA). The naeng myun cold noodle hit the spot after a long day. The noodles were refreshing and the apple slices added the sweetness that complemented the dish. It's going to be a tough call whether to try the salmon katsu during my next visit or stick with my new favorite dish. The wait staff was so friendly and attentive. I felt comfortable with the upbeat music and kept my finger on that Shazam button. Who needs a juke box when the restaurant serves the best of beats? Parking is abundantly available in the Pearl City Shopping Center and you can fill up your tank if you used the last of your fuel to get here in rush hour traffic. Sadie's gets an A+ for its take out and dine in options. I'll be back for the delicatessen in the near future.

Sadie's is so convenient for us to eat at . Located 5min down the road from our house, we go here quite often . If you want good , Authentic Korean food , you must try Sadie's! Yukgaejang is my favorite.

Service by Korean lady working the okazuya area was so rude and gave me attitude about my drink being FILLED almost an inch up before the top of ICE. Wtf! Then she says talk to the manager, while still telling the "manager" Tricia or whatever some bs in Korean.. order drinks here if you like ice with 2 sips of beverage. Crazy I never write reviews much, but cmon you guys need to do better.

Their kalbi costs $40. I asked for no rice (as you can clearly see on the receipt) and extra vegetables, and this is what I got. I called them and the guy who answered the phone did apologize, but claimed they gave me extra vegetables (which they clearly didn't) and told me the manager said "just don't eat the rice". Unbelievable.

My first time there everything was great and service, had the Sadie's special 34.95 it was good, but was really disappointed with the king kalbi. One small piece little meat and was tough as hell. Hopefully next time I go will be better.

The workers are incredibly kind and the service is consistently excellent. Despite the fast turnaround, the food is always fresh and prepared exactly as requested. Without a doubt, the spicy tofu soup is the standout dish! Some of our other favorites are meat Jun, Kalbi, kimchee soup, fried mamdoo, spicy pork, and spicy chicken wings. When dining in they will refill your Bonchon on request at no extra cost.

Mom and pop shop located in an old strip mall. Cozy and homely feel inside the restaurant. Groups larger than 10 need to split tables. They take reservations. Kalbi is consistently excellent. Tasty flavor with perfect char. Meat jun is our second must order item.

Food is authentic Korean and the service is very good. The ambiance is diner type atmosphere. Parking is plentiful. If you use a credit card there is a 3% additional charge. See pictures and you be the judge. We love it.

Stopped by for early dinner for the first time in years and was not disappointed. Ample seating area for dine in, staff is attentive and quick as they juggle both dine in and take out pick ups. We received a shared 7 selection banchan platter, portion size was just right for the 2 of us. For our entrees we had 1 chicken katsu and 1 grilled ika (오징어). Its been YEARS since I have had this dish and it was DELICIOUS

Ordered chicken katsu curry, great taste, and unlike mist places it was smothered with great tasting curry. Ordered seafood pancake, not so good, taste was lacking, it came a little undercooked as the batter at places was gooey, we sent it back to recook but still was a subpar experience. Service was fast and friendly. More like a fastfood place but did have comfortable booths for seating.

I love this place. It has officially become my go to place for meat jun, sorry Soons lol. Meat Jun is perfectly thin and tender. The mandoo is crispy and full of yumminess. You can basically make any combo you want, even if it's not on the menu; there just might be a little charge for the substitution. Banchan is free and you can always ask for more!
