Ma-shi-ta Korean Bbq - Kailua-Kona

Absolutely terrible experience. We ordered the big bone kalbi and several pork dishes, but the meat was incredibly tough and excessively salty. The quality of the side dishes was also quite poor. As a Korean person, I found it extremely disappointing and frustrating to pay $15 to $20 per plate for such poorly prepared food. Additionally, it's very misleading that there are two different restaurant names for the same establishment—“Broke Da Mouth Grindz” and “Ma shi tah Korean BBQ.” It seems like they combined two restaurants at some point, but both Yelp pages point to the same unfortunate dining experience.

One of my favorite places to eat on the Big Island. Each dish is unique and absolutely delicious.

Absolutely incredible food—best place to get a casual bite of Asian food in town.

I love the chicken bibimbap. Good quality and many kinds of vegetables with cucumber, pepper, mushrooms and potatoes.
