Yakiniku Korea House - Review - Moiliili - Oahu - The Infatuation

"There are many worthwhile Korean BBQ and yakiniku places around Honolulu at a range of price levels—everyone has their favorite, and Korea House is ours. It hits the perfect middle ground: casual and equally good for two people as it is for groups. Everything here is consistently well-executed, including the plentiful and frequently changing banchan and, of course, good quality meats. Get the beef combination, which includes kalbi and tongue, and can easily feed three ravenous people. This is also one of our favorite places for cold noodles in an icy broth, with bottles of vinegar and mustard on the side to slap your senses awake from a warm weather stupor." - Martha Cheng

I got to try their beef combination stew and it was great. The broth was thick as boiled with the bone for a long period and it clearly showed by taste and feel. The service was very pleasant and efficient.

I visited here by one of my friends’ recommendation and it was the most amazing Korean bbq I’ve had in Oahu. The meat quality is comparable to the ones in Korea. The banchans are high quality and delicious. I highly recommend to anyone that wants a legit Korean bbq.

Had lunch here with family. I didn't get pictures of all the dishes with ordered. Just the hot stone pot bibimbap and all the sides. My family liked the mandoo soup, the miso one, and the purple rice one. We liked the combination plate too (it had bbq chicken, kalbi, and beef on a bed of onions on a hot plate). The sides were not bad. Nothing stood out as good or bad. Kim cheese was fresh, instead of sour (my preference), salad was sweet, japchae was okay. Restaurant is very cold. However, it was clean and had decent ventilation for people who wanted to cook. Ventilation is directly over each bbq area and is adjustable. Downside no matter what, your clothes will smell like bbq. The servers were patient and helpful. They were attentive and for two people running around with the number of people in the restaurant. It went smoothly. Note: The only thing that bothered me was the price of the lunch specials. Hot stone pot bibimbap cost difference between lunch and dinner was only $2.00. Looking online, size and content in both are the same. Lol apparently few other dishes were similar...so I suggest coming at lunch time, instead of dinner. You'll save a few dollars.

We ate there recently ! And it was so good . Restaurant is kinda small inside so hard to get around with a stroller it’s pretty tight . But we will be bck soon ! . The fried Mandoo is a must .

Food was excellent but service was a bit of a miss. We had a few incorrect things delivered and when we mentioned them we were told they weren't mistakes but that the correct item was coming. Because of this one of our diners didn't get their food until 45 minutes after the rest of us. I'd also only recommend this for experienced diners who know how Korean BBQ works.

We came to try this place for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. There were two parties waiting ahead of us when we arrived but we got seated fairly quickly so that was really nice. This place was super busy. There was a great variety of parties eating here. We felt it was a bit pricey but all of us pretty much enjoyed our meal and we left happy. We were recommended a meat plate to share and we also ordered Bulgogi and a seafood pancake. The servers were very attentive and they turned over tables really quickly. Even still we didn't feel rushed at all I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. I think it's definitely worth a try

We were promptly treated and got our drinks quick, we ordered our food and the side dishes came out super fast. My husband loves their tradition kimchee, I loved their cucumber kimchee/salad, we both got second orders. My husband got the kal bi and I got the beef bulgogi, the kal bi was incredible. The beef bulgogi was also pretty good. We loved the fresh vegetables that were cooked with our food. Great service and great atmosphere.

Still absolutely love this place! One of the best spots with reasonable prices. I came here for a friend's birthday, and they were able to accommodate our big party since we reserved in advance. We ordered the skirt steak, beef tongue, and brisket--everything was delicious! The meal comes with a variety of side dishes, salad, and rice, and the best part? You can always ask for refills. We also got the seafood and kimchi pancake, which was amazing! Service was excellent--super attentive and always making sure our water glasses were full. Overall, a fantastic spot to enjoy great food and a fun time with friends. Highly recommended!

There's a lot of Korean Restaurants here in Honolulu and this is Definitely Not the Place to Be. . . When you walk in there is No one at the front door to greet you and It wasn't even busy at lunchtime 11:00 AM Only few tables were seated ( Now I understand Why ! ) No Greeting No Menu No Water No Service None Whatsoever I could sense this worker didn't want to be here for some reason a Bad Day !?! We practically had to ask for Everything Granted the food was good but left a bad aftertaste obviously the owner needs to look into this and Retrain her unless she was the Owner Not coming back anytime soon There are too many Better Korean Restaurants here in Honolulu

Located on Beretania next to Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Yakiniku Korea House has become a staple for my friends and I. Especially delicious after a long day of golfing! My friends and I love sharing (usually ~4 people): - Beef Combination Yakiniku (comes with refillable banchan and hot soup to share) - Cold Noodle - Seafood Pancake Be warned that you will prob have to flag down staff since they are all servicing multiple tables at the same time. Be patient but persistent! Parking is ok. Love that they have their own lot. During peak times, you may have to drive around to find nearby street parking. Cheers to Yakiniku Kore House in Moʻiliʻili!

This was my first time ever at a Korean BBQ and it didn't disappoint. We ordered number 15, and it was more than enough to feed 4 of us. Everything was so tasty! We even had left overs. The smell stays with you after you leave, but if you've had Korean BBQ before you know this!

Just dined there in July 2024 and had another exquisite family meal. Staff there hustles like veterans. Must be family or training like a rented mule from Gordon Ramsey. Cold beer and BBQ, just like MAGA cultists require. Try something different like tongue or BiBimBop. Try to keep up and you'll roll out the door like the Michelin tire Bibindum Man.

So much options... It's my first time here at Yakiniku Korea House...where it's on Beretania in McCully right across Long's just after passing University Ave is this gem and with it's own parking lot makes it a great place to gather though come early to secure a spot as it does get busy. Dinner here with a group of friends is the best as they bring out the banchan and since none of us were cooking we took full advantage of the cook top to place it for an easy impromptu buffet. Loved to see the options they have from the carnivore dream of various meats to grill, Stone Pot to a complete meal for 2. I couldn't resist my latest obsession "Cold Noodle" a refreshing and light dish which was topped with cucumber and daikon and the hard boiled egg but what really made it different is the apples and to my amazement it just worked, I couldn't also resist the spicy which it really was. I really enjoyed this spot for many reasons but dinner with friends made it much more delicious. Thank you!

I'm surprised how many bad reviews there are. It was one of the best KBBQ I've had in a while. High quality meats, banchan, and soups. The service was quick and it was just a no frills, straight to the good stuff experience. We got the brisket, pork belly, soondubu, and steamed egg. All were so tasty. They even didn't charge us for the soondubu, saying it's on the house! I actually went to Million the day after just because the KBBQ I had here was so good that I wanted it again. And I have to say, this is soooo much better than the meal I had at Million. The quality of the meats here is so amazing, you won't regret coming here. Highly recommend this for some good KBBQ

Authentic Korean food with all the banchan you can eat. Every time I come there's always something new to try which I love. They have a great lunch special also so if you don't want to cook that's always an option. Great for kids and girls night/day out.

We would visit this kbbq place every time there is a family gathering. Their meat is pretty decent and the combination platter is good for 2-3 people. Their prices did gone up a lot though. The fish was not as great. Super salty that it was pretty much inedible. The side dishes are good and the dipping sauce especially the spicy sweet soy one was the best I've had. The service is alright. They are very busy during dinner service everyday.

Dinner in Moiliili, Honolulu, Hawaii... Our first choice of restaurant wasn't available. We quickly switched gears and met at Yakiniku Korea House because we all hadn't been there before and had heard good things about it. Specifically, Kathy H. said that her patients recommended this restaurant to her! Located on the right side of Beretania Street, across from Longs Drugs Store, we all drive past this establishment many times. It has its own parking lot, great air-conditioning, convenient restroom, good ventilation, efficient service, and delicious food! I had called about an hour before we met to make a reservation. When I got there, our table was set and ready to go! We looked at the extensive menu - there were so many choices - especially the Lunch Specials!!! We all decided to get our own meals and skip the cooking. I ordered Cold Noodle Soup... it was delicious and refreshing. I actually added a bit more vinegar to the broth. I liked the shave ice in it, the half of a hard-boiled egg, pickled veggies, and slice of apple. We're all looking forward to returning!

Craving Korean bbq? Korea house delivers! Lots of parking available with a wide menu. Lunch specials available too! We were seated quickly by a friendly server. Clean tables, burner was removed before cooking, and banchan came out right after we ordered. Generous portions, and quiet, smoke free atmosphere. Lunch runs about $20, with dinner prices a bit more. There's so much to choose from, your party will be satisfied!

Located on Beretania Street, across Longs Mo'ili'ili. Two private parking lots, with lots of stalls. Walk in's welcome.12:30pm on a Sunday is really nice time. Not busy at all. The atmosphere is cozy. Lighting is on the dim side, but ok. The tables are set for cooking your own food. The temperature is on the lower side, so bring a jacket or wear long sleeves. The food is very tasty. Portions are nice. Banchan offered are very nice and tasty. Because it wasn't busy, we were well cared for. This restaurant is definitely my go to for great Korean food!

This is my fave yakiniku restaurant across the board, I'll typically always order the beef combo which is: brisket, kalbi and beef tongue. They sometimes will change up some of their sides but it never disappoints. The service was quick and seating was fine. They have free parking on site but can fill up during prime dining hours.

My brother insisted this was the spot the Korean students from Korea go to, so we checked it out for lunch. We ordered the combo kbbq set, which says it feed 2 people, but was more than enough for 4. It came with all beef, some onion, garlic, and a soup of your choice. We ordered the kimchi soup, which arrived boiling. It also comes with 2 bowls of rice. We also ordered the yukhoe, which is a beef tartare. It's mixed with apples and sesame oil, and is a little frozen. Like any classic Korean restaurant, we got a lot of banchan delivered to us, including 2 types of kimchi, potatoes, seaweed, and a salad. There is also fish cake but I had to specially ask for it. You can refill it as often as you like. The meat was generally pretty good quality -- I will say a few slices of the thin brisket had some chewy bits, but it was mostly on the better side. They changed our grill for us and refilled our complimentary hot teas and iced waters. There are gendered restrooms and lots of parking outside in their outdoor lot. Great food and experience overall.

Been here a few times. Meat quality is hit and miss. I always order their combination. The first few times the meat was awesome then the last couple times, the meat had a foul smell like wet laundry left in the washer for a few days. The workers get the job done but they always seem grouchy. Owner isn't any better.

We had a fantastic experience. Don't let the poor reviews steer you away. I think you just have to come at the right time and experience everything yourself. We went for late lunch around 2pm and it was empty. Service was quick and we didn't encounter any issues. In fact, I told my husband about some of the reviews the restaurant got on Yelp and he said service here was better than Gens. It's not AYCE, but we left feeling full as if it were. My husband also said the quality was great! The short rib was so tender that he could even pull the meat apart with a spoon for our kid. For 2 adults, 1 young adult, & 1 child, the food portion we got was a lot. Very fulfilling. My husband said we could've gone without one of the extra dishes since we were so full towards the end. What we ORDERED: Ala Cart. (1) Pork Belly, (1) Short Rib, (1) Brisket, (1) Seafood Pancake, (1) Seafood Tofu Soup. Overall I think it was definitely worth the price. You pay for quality and quantity. The side dishes are so flavorful and delicious. Way better than other places I've experienced. It was worth the drive from the west side. Plus there were tons of parking. Definitely a must.

Pro Tip: make a reservation to dine dinner time on the weekend. This will ensure you have a table when they are busy. I enjoy this yakiniku restaurant. The wood tables and chairs are kept clean and are quite comfortable. There is also enough aisle room so you do not feel cramped while eating or walking through the restaurant. Their combo includes so much meat that it's perfect for me and my boyfriend. It also comes with a soup and we prefer the miso ... It's a jalapeno miso so it can be spicy. The vent for the grill works REALLY well. We have never felt smoked out after dining here. We also order the seasoned green onions that add just a little extra flavor and crunch to the meat. The waitresses/waiters are cordial and efficient. I appreciate the water bottle left at the table so we can refill at our leisure. If you do need anything, they are always moving through the floor so it's not too difficult to flag one down. There is a dedicated parking lot for this restaurant, but may fill quickly if they are busy. You can also find street parking in the neighborhood.

It's a beautiful space in a convenient location with parking nearby. We were luckily seated right away. The banchan sides were pretty good. Kim Chee, fish cake and seaweed was awesome. Did not care much for the potato salad which had big chuncks of apple. Smaller bits may have been a better approach. We were able to select their tofu soup as an accompaniment to our meal. I wasn't too excited as the flavors were kind of bland and way too mild on spice and heat. Lastly cook yourself is great as you get to control the doneness etc. However in the very dim corner of the room it is hard to see. Anyway we cooked our meat and soaked in sauces provided. The meat was definitely not to my liking no matter how much sauce I dipped in. It was worth a shot being so close to home but it was a big miss for being any kind of memorable.

Two local friends recommended Korea House to us for Korean BBQ and I wanted to support a local business rather than go to Gen Korean BBQ at Ala Moana which is an AYCE chain. Overall, Korea House is a solid option - a decent selection of meats and other items, although no grilled vegetable options. Service was prompt and efficient, if not particularly friendly. Parking is available in the lot next to the restaurant. They bring out the meat but do not cook it for you. Fried mandoo: 3/5 (too doughy and not as flavorful of a filling as I like) Soon du bu: 4/5 Short rib: 4/5 Pork belly: 3/5 (relatively thin cut compared to other places, I prefer salt as an accompaniment for pork belly and that was not an option) The banchan were good and they provided refills on items we enjoyed such as the kim chee, spicy cucumber, macaroni salad.

Yakiniku Korea house i came here for a Luncheon on a Saturday around 2ish PM and it was my first time here at this Resturant (so At first I thought YAKINIKU KOREAN FOOD ALL YOU CAN EAT) But when we seen the menu everything's ala carte and not AYCE, so I was kinda like ohh okay. Parking - There's lots of parking at this Resturant about 10+ stalls or more I'd say and it's free parking and it's a private lot as well so it's a plus. Food - what I ordered was their *Ala carte KALBI on a sizzling platter *Ala Carte bbq Chicken & BulGogi on a sizzling platter *Their Fried gyoza Their KALBI was okay, it was kinda BLAND in taste wish had better marination IMO Their BULGOGI And BBQ chicken was okay as well Their Fried gyoza was good tho. Reason why I give this place 2 STARS as well is because I seen a female staff grabbed 2 cups of water from a table where had customers but the costumers left and decided not to eat at the Resturant and instead of emptying out the cup of water she just basically save the water in the cup and save it for the next costumers coming in to dine inn. That when I seen it I was like NOPE NOPE that ain't Kool what if the customer drank a little bit or who knows what. I was kinda like YIKES. Would I ever come too this Resturant again (probably not if you ask me) there's better Korean restaurants out there that I've been to. Ambiance - It was okay nothing too fancy I'd say had about 8-10 tables and booths at this Resturant and it was so-so clean and neat

This place has been several things over the years and this is my favorite iteration. It's also improving its service and so I think I'll go here when I want to grill Korean bbq They changed our grill pan several times without being asked Many of the waitstaff are fluent in English and friendly. We were asked several times if we needed anything. When it got busier it was less frequent but you can flag down anyone walking by. You are not beholden to one server. The meat combo for two is more than enough for 3 and comes with jjigae. The banchan was just fine - tofu, cucumber kimchi, regular kimchi and fish cake. The lettuce with dressing is the best and we asked for seconds and thirds. Prolly banchan is better at hangang. Don't know anymore about the newly reopened chois garden. It's good enough here if you're grilling meat. If it was just rice and soup dish or other main you'd want more variety though. It gets smoky but just dress in clothes you can launder. It's a fun and boisterous atmosphere. There's a parking lot. No reservations for smaller parties so go early. We went at 5:30 and no wait.

What a great place for family style dining. Upon entry, you get that smokey aroma! This Korean spot is mid-sized with long tables that can be partitioned for more than one guest to cook. We had 7 in our party and ordered a combination platter, oyster pancake, mandu, marinated beef, beer, soju, soup, and all the sides. Keiki friendly. Call for reservations. Parking lot on site. Casual

One of our favorite places to go for Korean BBQ!! Really good quality meats & the staff are really nice & accommodating. Our go-to order is the "Beef Combination Plate" which has An Chang, Brisket, Kalbi, and Beef Tongue. It also comes with your choice of tofu soup (they have miso, kimchi, sundubo). It's perfect for two of us if we are really hungry! The banchan is also THE BEST and they change it up so you can try different things.

To be honest, kinda disappointed. I hadn't been to Korea House in a minute. Food was decent. Salad dressing VERY salty. Had to ask for grill plate to be changed each time. Could tell waiter/waitress' could see us waving at them but just ignored as long as they could. The place has gone downhill especially service. Below average. Sad.

Get the set for 2 people $90 and you'll be full with leftovers to take home! You get soup, brisket, tongue, and so other cuts. I love the bachan and you can get more, of course along with salad and rice. Parking is difficult at peak times so you should find street parking if you can't in the small lot. This time the service was attentive but other times it can be so busy they are slow. Over all, great kbbq and meat!

Came here with my family to celebrate a going away for my sister and brother. I highly recommend making reservations if you can because it does tend to get really busy. As for service, you really need to wave the staff down, but other than that food comes out really fast and they try help you as best as they can! Quality of meat here is great and I would definitely come back again!

After several friends had recommended this restaurant, I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is large, most of the people eating were speaking Korean and they have a fairly large menu. Since we were there for lunch, we decided to try their plates, but we were disappointed in the lack of taste. The side dishes were just OK. Choi's Garden & Seoul Garden were way better. To be fair, I will go back and order their soft tofu stew and their Bi Bin Bop. Also, they specialize in Yakiniku. Rating: Kalbi & Fish Jun = C BBQ Chicken = C

Having a really great time with my family.here in Hawaii until we faced horrible mistake here. So my parents are very typical Korean adult they had to have Korean food as finale. We had to wait 30-40 min which is no problem, it was peak of dinner time, looks pretty good on reviews, so it was ok until we noticed they've crossed our name and kept us on wait until we told them whats going on with waitlist. Ok thats fine too, they gave us table of 4 adding a chair where we kinda have to blocked the way out, which causes one of waitress dropped the water on every single one us, no apology she was busy cleaning up the mass. And other waitress were started to blame blocking the way which they gave us where to sit. Stood up and we just walked away I don't care how good the food was, they just need to improve their manner. If they are ever going to read this. Please work on you serive manner

Wow! My first night in Honolulu and we ate at the Yaki Niku Korea house. The food was fantastic! Lots of big portions of deliciously, fresh meat, vegetables, and so many sides. One of our favorites were the sweet potatoes, we also had a soup that looked kind of like bipinbap (sp?). The food was so good. We ate most of it before I started taking pictures. lol Services fantastic, even though they were really crowded we got seated right away. It's quite loud in here, but it's expected because everyone's having a good old time eating everything that they're grilling themselves. Personally, I like having the grill at the table where we can grill it ourselves, even though it seems like a lot of work. My friend was getting a hand cramp.!!! Haha We did our way too much food but I think we'll come back again another time and do it all over Brian.

Korea House has became our favorite and go-to place for a good yakiniku night and a wholesome dinner. Every time we go, it's almost always full house, so plan ahead or wait. Our usual is the combination platter and king kalbi platter. The platter comes with ban Chan, rice and miso soup making it into a full meal with substance. Hint: You must wrap your meat with Kim chee and their salad.... Stuff it in your mouth to get the full satisfaction of eating like a real Korean!

Tip if you go... once you sign in stay by the sign in sheet. My party signed in and stepped outside so we wouldn't crowd the entrance. However, another party came and put their name on the list and stayed there. Although I pointed out our name was above theirs (they were pushing for a table, and that's why I had to point it out). The lady acknowledged and said ok she sees us on the list. I stepped outside and what do I see... them seating that party. We didn't even try, because we feel more appreciated at Kapiolani Million so we went there.

This place is my family's go to when it comes to yakiniku. They're constantly busy on the weekends so I recommend getting a reservation if you're looking to go with a group. My favorite item from this restaurant is their seafood pancake! IKR why is that your favorite item versus all the delicious grilled meats they offer. It's because I've tried Korean pancakes from other places and they don't make it as good as Yakiniku Korea house. Their pancake is huge and is always crunchy. They don't skimp out on the seafood either. Prices are on the higher side, but for the portions I think it's worth it!

A couple of my Korean friends raved about this place, so we had to check it out. There's a lot in front for parking and it fills up quickly- we arrive 30 minutes for dinner and there was only a couple parking spots open. Inside is a lot larger than it seems. Wide selection of meats, as well with traditional Koran dishes plus various stews. It's family style, so we orered an octopus stew, meat jun and other dishes that I can't really remember hah. All of it was amazing and more than enough food for the four of us. Service was swift, definitely a top tier Korean restaurant.

Love the food but the last time I went service wasn't the best. Waited about 20 mins before we could actually order. Orders are to share if you're grilling & when you order 2 meats it comes with a soup.

This was our spontaneous splurge of the week. Picked up the boys from school and realized there was no food in the fridge. The hubs Ikaika O. suggested Yakiniku Korea House because he'd see it every time we pass by Longs Moiliili. Let's try something new! Parking lot is right by the restaurant on the main road (South Beretania), a major plus in this neighborhood. Dark woods and metal accents are what you'd expect at a Korean Yakiniku joint. Glass partitions have menu items inscribed in English and Korean around the dining area. Service was mediocre, likely due to the language barrier for most of the staff. We were not greeted when we walked in, and the menu is a picture with a price, with no description of size or sides. Ordering was slightly awkward when Ikaika asked about menu items. Ikaika: "Is this kalbi enough to feed our family, or should we order more?" Waitress: "If you eat small." ....... However, the order was taken promptly and the food arrived in decent time. Unlimited banchan accompanied our marinated Kalbi plate and hot stone pot bibimbap. The kids loved the seaweed soup and ordered four bowls of it. The kalbi was delicious- tender and the cook that prepared it came out and sliced it into different size pieces- big bites for the parents, small bites for the children. How nice!! The bibimbap was good, but I've had better at other eateries. Don't waste time on that, go for the meat marinades. Food was pricey, but worth it for the quality. Next time around, we'd probably get two orders of kalbi to satisfy our Korean craving!

Always love coming here for Yakiniku! They have a great selection of banchan. Meat selection is good quality and they have pretty spacious seating area for bigger parties. They also have extra seating in the back as well. Prices have gone up for their set menus but I always am satisfied with the food. Need to make reservations ahead of time as they get pretty busy.

I always love the food here! The quality of the sides and the meat are delicious every time I've visited. They get really busy and the servers are working hard so just keep that in mind. My boyfriend and I ordered the combo for 2 and it was definitely more than enough for the both of us. The place is pretty casual with parking right next to it but it's kind of tight but it's free!

I love their foods! Meats are high quality, and the side dishes are phenomenal. Our server Brian was so nice, caring and knowledgeable. We are definitely coming back with my other family members soon. Highly recommend.

A little late for #ThankYouThursday but just wanted to throw this out. This place is one of the best for Korean food. Real Korean people like this place and yes, when busy, the service suffers but press the button! LOL! In any case, expect great food, good quality, a decent filling meal and generally fast service. I'm glad it's here because a lot of my other favorite places are gone. I will keep coming back and getting great food!

Kabli, fish jun, and bibimbap were all very good. Went for a late weekday lunch around 1:00 PM. No wait, plenty of tables, service was fast and efficient.

I get it service is okay, most of the time when I am there its packed and busy. The food is great, very authentic. Most people are into Gen, me not so much its just not as good. I just have never been disappointed with my food here. I would to just say that I have eaten at many Korean restaurants maybe more than most and I still have not found anyone with such great food. Everything is just a little bit more fresh here. *I mean they could fill waters more often but its not hard to just ask for more water* lolz *Millions is good just not as clean sorry :(* lolz

Korea house is one of my bf & I's favorite places to go, especially after a long night out. The food is always consistent & delicious. My favorites consist of the kim chee chige (best on the island in my opinion) & the yakiniku set for 2. Their kim chee chige is super flavorful, which I love. Service & ambiance wise, I would recommend going during lunch or early dinner time, as it can get very very crowded. I would also suggest calling ahead to see if it's crowded before going. The food sometimes take a little long to come out, but definitely understandable since they can get pretty busy at times.

Food was excellent, service was great, the only thing was the noise. It was a bit too loud for me but other than that it was a great experience! We got the meat combo & that was enoughfor 5 people! They also refilled the sides which were all delicious.
