Yummy Kitchen

Google maps says this is a Hawaiian place, but I think it's more of a Korean place. The menu has vast choices from poke bowl to noodles to bibimbap to fried chicken. The Korean fried chicken was yummy (no pun intended). The kimchi that came with it was too good We also got chicken yakisoba noodles. There were a lot of vegetables and chicken. The portions were generous. The taste was all yummy to our tummy. Must dine here for sure.

We always stop by when we are in town. Meat Jun is so soft and tender. Also already comes with Mac salad, Jap chae and shoyu potatoes. Service is always great.

Amazing spot. Delicious food, great portion sizes, and fair prices. Photo is of the bbq chicken (after I had eaten some of the sides already).

This is definitely one of those hidden gems tucked in a little corner that's worth a journey to find. Portions are huge with a variety of banchan to go with each order. The garlic chicken was crispy, sweet and fresh. The meat jun was fluffy and tasty. Definitely lots of love put into this food! The owner was also very sweet and the food came out fast.

This place is AMAZING. We got the loco moco and bbq chicken plates and they were so good. All the sides were delicious as well, all around great restaurant. I'm definitely coming back, my taste buds need more of this food

Tried this place for the 1st time. Definitely, more Korean foods with hawaiian flare. Ordered the Kalbi with fried rice, garlic chicken plate, and bulgogi mandu. Side dishes included were japchae, potato, kimchee daikon, and mac salad. The garlic chicken was good and well cooked but lacking in garlic flavor as I have had at other places. Kalbi was also good but chewy. Can't bite off a piece. Fried rice was nice, but peppery with it's fine with us. The mandu and the side dishes seem to be nicer.

Nice and quiet place to enjoy my dinner outside of bustling city traffic. Enjoyed my bulgogi plate plus nice side dishes as well.

If I could give the service a 6*, I would. As delightful as the food was, the hostess was so generous and attentive. The Korean chicken wings were very hearty and flavorful. No real spice. Atmosphere was rather basic but pleasant. I will definitely go out of my way to visit again.

Hawaiian restaurants are all around Seattle these days, but ex-pats know how rare it is to find a place that does meat jun. Really happy to have found this place. I don't live in the area, but I'll be stopping by here after every trip to IKEA.

An impromptu stop for some Hawaiian food will have us coming back the next time we are in town. We want to try more of the menu. The Katsu was spot on and the curry hit a longing I've had for a while. The mac salad was very good, as were the noodle and potatoes. One plate is enough for two meals. We had lunch in and took the leftovers home for dinner. The katsu sauce is a little on the sweet side for our tastes but that doesn't take off any points.

Ordered the meat Jun plate, kalua pig plate, and the bibimbap. All good sized portions. Japchae and Mac salad were tasty and done well. Meat jun had too much breading for my preferences. Kalua pig plate was tasty but not a ton of cabbage. Service was fast but if you come close to closing (1 hour before closing) they will only allow you to do takeout. Restaurant was clean and well-kept.

One of the best spots for Hawaiian food down south, Yummy Kitchen always delivers a satisfying meal for your cravings. It's a laid-back restaurant with consistently good food quality, which automatically makes it a go-to on my list. Everything I've tried so far has been made well, but I always take note of how great their sides are compared to similar places. I'm usually disappointed with at least one of the sides at other Hawaiian spots but Yummy Kitchen takes care to make their sides as important to the meal as the mains. The japchae is chewy with a good balance of sweet and savory, and the mac salad is perfect for balancing out some of their saltier dishes. I also like that the sauce on the potato side is not overly sweet or thick. They all go perfectly together with whatever you order. On my last visit I got the kalua pig plate lunch and the garlic fried chicken special. Kalua pig is delicious, rich, and salty. After a while it can even get a little too salty, as kalua pig tends to be, but as long as I've got my rice and sides, I don't mind the extra salt. I took my order to-go but the garlic fried chicken was still decently crispy even after the drive home. The garlic soy sauce was exactly what I expected, both flavors were very present in the sticky, sweet sauce. The wings and drums are a good size and I was feeling full after just a few pieces. I did find myself craving something to eat with the chicken to cut through the strong flavors, something like pickled radish. The radish kimchi comes with the fried chicken plate lunch but not the special, unfortunately. In general, I might recommend ordering extra sides to mellow out the big flavors of some of their dishes, also because their sides are very tasty anyway. Everything on the menu looks good and at this point I trust them enough to make all their dishes well. If you're a fan of both Hawaiian and Korean food, this would be the perfect restaurant for you to try next. A real good lunch spot to make your coworkers jealous.

Great service and reasonable prices here. We got the meat jun plate and katsu. I'll definitely come back.

If you're from Hawaii and have been living up jn Washington for a while, you know one thing you're missing from home is meat jun. There are very few restaurants that serve meat jun, and Yummy Kitchen is one of them that actually has it and it's not half bad. The portion might be a little small for my liking and seems like it may be getting smaller over the years, but it definitely satisfies your cravings - it comes with mac salad, japchae, and the shoyu potato. Only had one other thing from here other than the meat jun - kimchee fried rice and that was pretty good too! Overall, I always recommend this place for meat jun!

Fun go to when I dont know what to eat. Yummy box has a bit of everything across the asian spectrum - more so on the Korean side with bibimbap, kalbi and kimchi fried rice. They also have loco moco! Love their lunch plates - hearty serving of meat with 3 sides and rice but some of them are pricey ($15-28!!) Their additional sides are affordable and pretty big portions so sometimes I get 1 or 2 of those to help stretch the meal into 2 portions. Small restaurant - think order-at-counter to-go type place next to a gas station. Theres usually parking right in front.

LOVE LOVE THEM! One of the best restaurants around town. Chicken meatjun were really delicious.

I order Bibimbop here religiously. It is well balanced with meat and banchan. The family that runs it is sweet and accommodating. It's cozy little shop. Good varied menu. Simply a Renton staple for takeout.

Ambiance: 10/10 Service : 10/10 Food : 10/10 If I were to pick a poke and Korean and Hawaiian store to eat, I would go to Yummy Kitchen. Ambiance is quiet and peaceful which is very nice. It looks like a take out restaurant but you can also dine in. Service was great and friendly. Food was amazing. Never I had something like this before and this is my first time. We ordered a side of shrimp tempura, salmon poke, and one order of Chicken teriyaki and Garlic Fried chicken rice platter. Each rice platter comes with small sides (banchan = small side dishes). It comes with Mac salad, japchae, radish kimchi, sweet potatoes. Everything was 10/10000000!! Definitely will come back for more!!

"Such delicious food and generous servings! The chicken wings were juicy with a perfect amount of meat and had a satisfying crunch on the outside--definitely a standout. The pork was incredibly tender and flavorful, just melt-in-your-mouth yum. I also really appreciated the extra sides that came with the meal; the macaroni salad and japchae were great complements to the main dishes. The casual, laid-back vibe of the place makes it perfect for a quick lunch break, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back soon to try more of their menu!

Korean fast food. They also had poke. There was just one guy behind the counter taking orders. He was fast and efficient. The tables were clean. Everything tasted good and fresh. Nice portions.

Ordered the meat Jun and chicken katsu plate. I'm from Hawaii, so the hunt for good meat Jun here has been hard, but this wasn't too bad. Good meat to egg ratio, meat was soft and had flavor; I preferred it with sauce. Chicken Katsu was good, panko was perfect texture, chicken wasn't dry. The japchae was a little dry for my liking, but tasted fine. My other half liked the Mac salad which had taste, but the noodles itself wasn't cooked to my preference (not super soft). For what we paid, it was worth it; he had a good amount of leftovers even when we showed up basically starving. Inside was clean. No line, didn't wait long for food.

Pretty solid Korean and Asian fusion restaurant located near the Renton industrial commercial area. This place is in a small strip mall next to a gas station. Pretty easy access and ample parking. Lots of things to choose from. This time I opted for the bulgogi plate. This combo comes with two scoops of rice, side of Mac salad, japchae noodles, boiled potatoes, and of course, the bulgogi. The meat flavor was a great balance of sweet and salty. The beef was cut up into small bit size pieces which I enjoyed mixing in with the rice. The japchae noodles were deliciously flavored. I was pleasantly surprised how good this was. Reminded me of something my mom used to make. Mac salad was solid and the potatoes were cooked in a similar sauce flavor to the bulgogi. What an overall solid plate lunch. Gonna come back to try the Katsu.

Love this unassuming hole in the wall! Service is great, the person who helped me was super friendly and helped with recommendations. I got the bbq chicken and soy garlic chicken today- both were super fresh and tasty! I love variety so I'm happy each plate comes with three sides: Mac salad, jap chae and soy potatoes. Their cucumber kimchi is more on the sweet side, which works great for me since I'm a spice weenie. Give this hole in the wall a chance- you won't regret it!

Empty Kalua Pig Cabbage plate, it was Oono (delicious) Mac salad on point, noodles, everything was good. Good flavor like I remember from Maui and service was pretty fast. Highly recommend if u like Korean/Hawaiian food.

Yummy. I eat Hawaiian or Teriyaki weekly, and only a handful of HI/Teriyaki restaurants in the South Sound can compete on flavor and quality. None can compete once you add in price and service. Prices are on the lower end (servings are still large), and for a primarily takeout spot, it's comfortable and relaxing to eat in. Finally, the staff and management are helpful and nice. My only complaints are with what they don't offer. I love all the entrees I've had there; however, I wish they'd offer a mixed plate entree (multiple meats) and have fountain drinks instead of cans. Still, this isn't a knock on what they have--only that there's room for improvement.

I like me some Korean fried chicken, kimchi fried rice, and musubis, so I came here to try all three. I couldn't decide between the Garlic Fried Chicken and the Korean Fried Chicken. The guy was very nice, and let me do half and half. The chicken was good, good flavor, but I would've liked it to be more crispy. The musubi and kimchi fried rice were also good. Would come back to try more things if in the area.

I'm always a tad bit skeptical when an Asian establishment aims to serve different types of cuisines. So with Yummy Kitchen's broad menu of Korean and Hawaiian food, my eyebrows immediately raised. But to be honest, the food here is quite decent. No, it won't blow you away, but it's not bad. I got the BBQ chicken plate and my wife got the Katsu plate. Hands down, I would definitely recommend the katsu plate. The katsu was quite good with a delicious crunch, and the breading wasn't too thick. Both plates also serve a generous portion of rice and macaroni, and the glass noodles on the side was great too. The menu is pretty vast, so definitely find something that tickles your fancy! It's too bad that we don't live that close to Renton, but if we're ever in the area craving some Hawaiian food, Yummy Kitchen will hit the spot.

Got to go from this place for a quick Hawaiian meal and the food was good. Preparation of the food was in a reasonable amount of time and the service was great. I did not eat in, but it looks to be a standard take out place.

We went here for lunch, we tried the Korean fried chicken plate and garlic fried chicken plate. Both were amazing! You get 7 wings, some rice, macaroni salad, cold noodles and radish kimchi. The macaroni salad was our least favorite part, just could have used some more seasoning, that's just our preference. We also got a spam masubi. It was good, could've used a little more sauce on one half of it. But overall, not bad! Will definitely be going back to try more.

Wasn't expecting a lot walking in given how it looked online but I was proven wrong off the rip. When u walk in and the first thing you see in big letters is meat jun, katsu curry and Hawaiian sun cans not aloha made I knew this place was legit. Prices are super cheap and the guy behind the counter got our order out so fast. Plates are stacked to the ceiling and beat any places I had growing up especially with nailing the texture of meat jun that no one really does right even in Hawaii. Musubis are also fat and seasoned correctly tasting like the potlucks of old. Overall if it wasn't for Vegas this place would be my #1 . Easily makes our return list when we move!

Had the chicken katsu. Portions are decent and service was quick and friendly. I like their menu - some Korean food, some teriyaki. It was good enough to have finished the whole Togo container. It's simple and fast. There are a few chairs and tables here. No one was sitting here at that time but there was a customer after us.

Bomb poke and teriyaki! Amazing Korean dishes as well. Service was quick and Ambiance was chill and what youd expect of a teriyaki place.

Good food at a good price. Ambiance it's a strip mall joint but hey good food and really nice service. Was great for our family quick food

The service was fine, and the interesting multiple options you get with a meal were fun, but honestly there was hardly any flavor in anything in my meal? The macaroni just tasted like bland noodles. The teriyaki was alright but not at that price. The egg rolls were good but nearly impossible to mess up egg rolls bought in a box. Unfortunately I just won't be back, there's many better options in the area.

Called in an order on a Wednesday evening and their service was great. Food was ready within the committed time and the staff was friendly. We had the BiBimbap which comes with beef bugolgi, sides (seaweed, kimchi, bean sprouts,,etc.) and sits on top of rice. The food was tasty and the portions were great. I really liked all of the different flavors within the dish. I would recommend not mixing everything together so you can taste all of the different flavors. We also had the grilled chicken which came with a few sides (rice noodles, Mac salad, and sweet potatoes). Good variety and the flavors mixed well together. Will definitely come back and recommend if you're looking for a mix plate.

My friend had mentioned this space so dad and I decided to check them out today for lunch. They do a great job on their protein dad had the kalua pork and cabbage and I had the bulgogi after reading others reviews. Meat was tender and we'll seasoned. Sides were fine though the pasta in the macaroni salad was a bit firm a little more al dente than it should've been. Food came out quickly, and space was clean. They had a steady stream if customers picking up to go and dining in.

The food...hmmm could've tasted better. At least that was my expectation. The serving wasn't as much as your typical "island" restaurants. They didn't give much of anything compared to other places. They did give me a lot of FAT or "meat" that was impossible to chew and swallow. I wanted to like this place. I wanted to find a place where I can come to for island food whenever I was craving it but unfortunately, this isn't it. Especially when I just came back from Hawaii...so I'm really comparing how good the food was there. It may be pricey in HI but the portions were quite generous and oh so delicious. I hope that if I do come back one day, this place will have tastier and larger portions.

This was just an okay place in terms of flavor. Overall is was fine, but I like to nitpick at the individual side dishes. 1. Fried chicken - we felt that the price was too high for the fried chicken (and for the dishes in general) and the yangnyeom flavor had a little bit too much gochujang taste for my liking. 2. Kahlua pork - decent pork but it was unexpectedly smoky. There was also quite a bit of liquid/juice so I lost a bit of my rice to that :/ 3. Potato, japchae, and mac salad sides - I know that these are sides but they could've been more flavorful. I don't think I really need to elaborate more. 4. Katsu - probably the better dish of the evening. Typical katsu so nothing too out of the ordinary

Plenty of parking outside. Fast and friendly service. Generous portions. Highly recommended if you want a Ono (delicious) Hawaiian style meal.

This small family restaurant in a small strip mall in south Renton serves an honest meal. No frills, just good Korean food. Prices are reasonable. The ambience is relaxed. The service is minimal, you order at the counter then your meal is delivered to your table. Pretty basic. We both had bibimbap, a combination of Bulgogi, kimchi cucumber, rice and something else I don't know the name of, all topped with a fried egg. I ordered the bibimbap instead of the Bulgogi plate because although both contain Bulgogi, it had this nice diverse selection of 'sides'. The Bulgogi flavor was a bit bland but it came with a sauce that perked it up nicely. Portions were generous. We enjoy getting out and trying this type of restaurant. If you're in the area and looking for a good place to eat, by all means visit Yummy Kitchen.

3.5 stars rounded up: A Korean and Hawaiian fusion that provides good portion sizes for the price. Taste-wise there are definitely places out there that do things better, but this a place to grab a quick savory meal. They have online ordering which makes it convenient too. -- Meat Jun: Hard to mess up and a pretty good dipping sauce. -- Bibimbap - Average tasting, but good portion size nonetheless. -- Soy Garlic Chicken Wings- Ok flavor, but not really much of a crunch to it. I actually like their banchan sides the most. The japchae is on the sweeter side, but enjoyable. The mac salad isn't overly dressed either which I prefer. The soy potatoes are slightly sweet too, but I haven't seen this offered anywhere else.

Tried the Korean Fried Chicken Special and the Garlic Fried Chicken Special. Everything on the plates were bland. There was absolutely nothing special about these specials. Also, the bathroom was filthy

Yummy Kitchen is a hole in the wall place that should not be skipped! The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. There's various plates and sides to choose from. We ordered four different plates which come with a side of 2 scoops of rice, japchae, sweet braised potatoes and macaroni salad -- yes, a ton of food. Chicken Katsu: Chicken was crunchy yet moist and came with a side of katsu sauce. Loco Moco: The patty was juicy with thick delicious gravy topped with two perfectly round sunny side eggs. BBQ Chicken Teriyaki: Chicken was moist, soft, and sweet with the teriyaki sauce. Meat Jun: The beef was soft and tender cooked in a thin layer of eggs. It was definitely something we haven't had before, but was enjoyable! The braised potato was perfectly sweet and soft with a kick of umami flavor. The Mac salad wasn't overwhelmed with mayo and tasted fresh. Japchae was well cooked, both sweet and salty. If you are ready to feast, you must check this place out!

It's a quick chill easy lunch spot Poke was ok Definitely go for bulgogi and the Hawaiin lunch plates if you go here

We're visiting our kids from Hawaii and they took us to their go-to plate lunch place. It's in a little strip mall next to a gas station. The food is solid! Kinda like a Korean plate lunch. We had the garlic chicken which came with 5 pieces of chicken wings and drumettes fried and coated with a sweet garlic sauce. So ono!! Also got the meat jun plate. The meat was soft and tasty. The plates came with 2 scoops of rice, small portions of japchae , mac salad ( little too mayonnaise-y for my taste), and pickled carrots. It was enough for us to share (we're small eaters though) We really liked the food! I saw they served poke too but didn't get that. Better than some places in Hawaii even! Recommend the garlic chicken! Come here if you're missing local style Korean plate lunch. Thumbs up from happy and full Hawaii residents!

We ordered the meat jun plate to share for two to go, and it was good for a light lunch for two people. If we ordered two plates it would have been wayyy too much food. The meat jun was soo tasty, loved the combo of the egg and beef. The sauce also enhanced the flavor. I also love the side dishes soo much, the japchae, mac salad and potatoes were all tasty. It's in a little plaza with ample parking when I stopped by. Highly recommend stopping by to check this spot out!

An oasis of flavor. I really enjoyed my meal here. Would definitely come back whenever I'm in town

Whoever took my order was so rude to me. I wanted to order some teriyaki kitchen plate. On the website it says chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce"our version of teriyaki chicken". The person taking my order proceeded to say we don't have teriyaki chicken we only have BBQ chicken we are a Korean restaurant. So if you know your chicken is basically teriyaki chicken why bother trying to correct costumers and sound so offended over the phone. Also if you're a Korean restaurant why advertise Hawaiian food ? Hawaiian food is heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine and other cultures. If you get offended by someone calling it Teriyaki chicken when teriyaki chicken is literally a Hawaiian dish. Then just don't sell the dish at all. The food consisted of chicken, Japchae, and Korean braised potatoes. The food is good with good portions. Other than the poor costumer service and defensive attitudes.

Pricing is VERY affordable! $12.99 for chicken teriyaki and $13.99 for the Katsu plate. Comes with all the side dishes We ordered online and went to pickup right away (around 10-15 min drive) and they were already packing up our food when we got there! The japchae has a good flavor and no peppery taste like most places have, so it was very kid friendly The Mac salad is very hard... might be best if they cook it more next time The chicken is very marinated to the point that the chicken has a fake rubbery but soft texture? But I liked it.... Katsu is good, my 6 year old age most of it. I love the food comes with all the side dishes, the food isn't like crazy amazing , but for the price and all the variety you get... I'm 100% coming back!

We've done takeout quite a few times and it's always been so great! We love the Korean fried chicken, their japchae is amazing and the only place I've seen that offers meat jun (thin beef dipped in egg)! So good even my Hawaiian friend approves of it! Lunch portions are decent with yummy sides of mac salad (good but it's missing something but I know mac salad is very personal) and Korean style potato. We've tried a few items on their menu but always go back to the meat jun and Korean chicken!

I love the poke and they have amazing cooked food as well. Food is always ready on time. I visit regularly and would recommend.

Came in here at 7pm on a Friday to dine in and try the food. The woman working was so friendly! She was taking orders, running the business and waitressing. There was a sauce that I hadn't tried, gochujang and I loved it. I asked if she has it in a bottle or sells that alone and she asked how many to go containers I would want of it and I was hesitant but she said no tell me I love helping my customers! Haha and I said 3 then she gave me 4. Will be back, super good comfort food and friendly energy!

Great food and pricing. Kalua pork Restaurant is clean and air condition is blasting for summer

Chicken Katsu plate was very good and also the Kalua Pig plate was tasty. Good service and our food came quickly. Nice and quiet place to eat!

I love yummy kitchen. even though they messed up our order and we had to drive all the way back since we only found out after opening it at home, they were so nice about it and the food is awesome. I wished I was closer to this location

Very fast service and good food. Definitely recommend the chicken Katsu and kimchi fried rice. Their japche is also tasty.

Great place to eat. The server is extremely nice. There are multiple choices on the menu to choose from. It's overall nutritionally balanced.
