The kimchi pancake was mushy and oily, and other dishes also felt like pre-made dishes, stale and tasteless. The store is not hygienic. When we were inside near the kitchen, I saw broken Korean cultural masks on the wall, and some black oil stained near the ceiling. When checking out, the landlady looked very ugly because she had to split the bill with her friends. Finally, he yelled that you shouldn’t ask for change! Tip me! ! ! I banged the empty tip bottle at the cashier and asked us to tip. Even though I knew there is a tipping culture in the United States, I was really shocked and insisted on walking away with the change. Any restaurant near the shopping center will be better than here. I sincerely recommend that you go elsewhere. This is the worst Korean food I have ever had in my life. The kimchi pancake was burnt and greasy, and the other dishes felt like pre-made meals, not fresh and tasteless. The hygiene in the restaurant was poor. We were seated near the kitchen, and I noticed there was a broken Korean cultural mask on the wall. The closer to the ceiling, the more black oil stains there were. When it was time to pay, we asked to split the bill with friends, and the owner's wife looked very annoyed. Finally, she shouted loudly, saying we shouldn't ask for change and demanded a tip! She kept banging on the tip jar at the cash register, insisting we give a tip. Even though I know tipping is customary in the U.S., I was really shocked and insisted on taking my change and leaving. Honestly, any restaurant near the mall would be better than this one. I sincerely recommend you go somewhere else. It tastes terrible. The landlady is discriminating against the customers. The environment in the store is bad. Run away. This is the best Korean food!シーバー!

The workers and servers take pride in service only towards people who look, speak or act like them. If you’re not Korean, not even of an asian ethnicity or any type of foreigner that is NOT KOREAN don’t think to come here. Service is poor and the food quality really depends on the first impression of how you look or speak while ordering. It’s an old run down hole in the wall, ran by racists and supported by a loyal korean dominated customer base. All people from EVERY ETHNIC BACKGROUND AND STATUS should be welcomed into a paying establishment with the same respect and dignity they walked in intending with.

It’s decent food but not for the price of being belittled by rude Korean woman who doesn’t treat well paying customers with the same courtesy and respect as she... read more It’s decent food but not for the price of being belittled by rude Korean woman who doesn’t treat well paying customers with the same courtesy and respect as she would a Korean customer. I love small local businesses like this but I hate seeing the discrimination amongst the older generation of business owners. It’s that same older woman who’s been known for being rude to other customers as well, I love the Korean culture and their love for foods but this very rude woman is poor representation of her business and background. Don’t support this establishment and allow them to continue mistreating people for being a certain ethnicity.

The menu is broad and covers (darn near) everything: jjigaes, mandu kuk, dok mandu kuk, soon toobu, kalbi, etc, etc. This is Korean food that a Korean mom would make, assuming she is a great cook. There is plenty of parking and the prices are great. The service was great, she went out of her way to painstakingly give us directions. Hands down the best meal we had while in Oahu. Parking: You can either park in front of the restaurant or in the Ala Moana Shopping Center
