What Eric vanHorn doesn't like about Willow Tree Korean Restaurant:

Long waits, even with open tables, 40 minutes to get food. Won’t take your order when you’re ready to order. All the hallmarks of a business that is going to die. To the managers of this place, if you read this, the young man that works for you cleaning tables an... View all feedback. What Corin K likes about Willow Tree Korean Restaurant:
Willow tree is always yummy! Our favorites: kal bi and katsu with spicy sauce on the side, and don't forget to get a side of Mac salad (the best)! There pricey but it's consistently always yummy and worth it! View all feedback.

This Korean restaurant has received a mix of reviews. Some diners were disappointed by the food, finding it dry and lacking in flavor. Others, however, raved about the delicious Bulgogi, kimchi, and various meat dishes. The restaurant is praised for its friendly service and generous portion sizes. While some customers found the wait times a bit long, most agreed that the food was worth it.

The Korean appetizers are among the best on Oahu, and I rank their kimchi best on Oahu. Only wish is they give something more. We always order extra kimchi. The...

It's one of my favorite places to eat, when I am here in Kailua. Turnip soup is the best, fish jun, and Kim chee! All great, with friendly service.

Kalbi was very stringy and tough. Usually, the meat is very tender and easy to digest. It still had a good flavor. Probably used a bad batch of meat.
