I guess Daniel .C Yelp ghost got me too. I remembered posting this restaurant but I guess it disappeared. Yakiniku Seoul located corner of King St. and Kalakaua Ave. Parking is behind the building and entrance to the restaurant is on the ground floor of a commercial building. I ordered their Cheese Tteokbokki which was very cheesy w/ mochi and fish cake mix all together. Also I ordered their Kalbi came on sizzling platter with onion . The Kalbi was very tender and good marination. Good variety of Bachan . Prices are little on the higher side but it's ok not too bad . Need to just support local .

I've been coming here regularly for Korean BBQ for many years now. My favorite cut for yakiniku is the anchan (inner thigh). They season it & it's tender and high quality meat. The banchan are always really good & the staff are nice about refilling it. The aunty who works there remembers me and she's always very nice. It can get rather loud and smoky but that's expected at a yakiniku!

The restaurant vibe is giving friendly and positive! We have found our new favorite Yakiniku Korean restaurant. Come to this place if you're not pinching pennies though because it's not your AYCE kinda place. However we ordered two different Seoul Specials that come as a set. One years a Yakiniku set with 4 different kind of meats and a huge Ribeye for $75 and a cooked set that came with a soup choice, fried fish, steamed octopus salad, green onion pancake bbq chicken and kalbi for about $70. It fed 3 hearty meat eating males and me with no leftovers. Banchan was decent and the Kim chee was legit. Total meal came out to $180 including a well earned tip! The only thing I didn't enjoy but not a deal breaker is the quintessential smoky room that you get from a Yakiniku joint. Even if it's almost unavoidable, ventilation could have been better... it's rare but have been some places with better ventilation where my eyes and lungs don't burn from inhalation. Small price to pay for a fabulous meal. I wasn't quick enough to snap photos before the hungry hippo stampeded devoured the whole meal which is telling. The owner is the sweetest cutest lady who checked on us frequently and a lovely young waitress that I'm pretty sure my 11 year old son now has a crush on.

We always drive by this place at the corner of Kalakaua and King St. but never got to try it out until recently. Parking is above the restaurant and you need to enter the parking lot from King St as you turn on the side street right before the restaurant, then go up the ramp. There was a lot of parking when we went, but this was also before the dinner rush. We were able to walk in and get a table right away. Tables are booth style which felt a little different for yakiniku. Service was great as they would check in on us often. It's just good yakiniku. We are simple so we always just order lots of brisket, which their quality was very good :) Their side veggies were also great! Overall, it's a great spot for yakiniku.

Love their Spicy Squid!! Their meats a great too. I love it here. Maybe it's the time I go there because there isn't a lot of people. That's usually between lunch and dinner. Quite and not one cooking food so you don't smell like you've been cooking. The food is really good. I'd like to come back with a party of four to order the set meal and try their food

What a hidden gem. It's really tucked away and it's easy to miss. But don't miss it! Super easy parking. Clean and spacious seating. The menu is robust with something for everyone. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Some food highlights 1. Really yummy soup. Traditional Korean soup. (Number 2 on the menu). Generous portions. 2. The kimchi is really fresh and made in house. 3. Even something simple like the bowl of rice is quality. Shiny grains of cooked rice that aren't all clumpy 4. Get the meat Jun. number 6 on the menu. It was recommended to us and it was sooooo good. I've officially added this spot to my rotation of top spots.

Yakiniku Seoul is a solid place for a la carte KBBQ when I'm feeling too full to hit up a local AYCE option. The prices are reasonable (not too expensive but not cheap either) and the meat quality scales appropriately with the cost. They have a lot of options for whatever you're in the mood for, from basic USDA Choice to Miyazaki A5. I definitely appreciate that the number of options and the fair pricing here! The banchan selection is great here as well. My favorite is the odeng (fish cake) and picked radish. All of the banchan goes amazingly when paired with meat and wrapped in ssam. Biggest drawback of this place is that each serving of ssam costs $7 per portion The portion size of the ssam isn't particularly huge either, which is a major bummer since I love the low-carb meat and veggies combo of KBBQ and ssam. The service is very friendly and helpful. The vibes are casual, great place to bring a group of friends or come on your own. Lots of options both in menu items and in dining format!

Good quality Korean bbq! This place is tucked away and a hidden gem. Have always passed by this place but didn't know how to get in. Parking is in the back, go down south king st and turn right after panda, and make a left turn into the parking lot. There's a lot on the menu, our favs: * pork belly * marinated kalbi * bbq chicken * bulgogi * salad * mandoo Average prices range from $20-$40 for meats. Each meal comes with a bunch of different sides. We came on a Thursday night and it was not busy at all, sat 6 of us right away. This was our second time here and they're always so nice!

Korean cuisine for dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... I saw Lorie and her family check in at Yakiniku Seoul. I read reviews by my friends Rod U., Andy F., And Nat N. Bruddah Fran even got Review of the Day (ROTD) for Yakiniku Seoul. It's time to visit! Located on the busy corner of King Street and Kalakaua Avenue, Yakiniku Seoul has a free parking lot - the entrance is on King Street before the building. Walk down a few stairs to get to the door from the parking lot. Enter an old school type of environment. It was late in the evening. My friend and I had finished watching a movie. She called ahead and made a reservation for 8pm. It wasn't too crowded at the time! Service was helpful and friendly. We ordered the Assorted Meats Yakiniku (to share) and asked that our meats to be cooked by the kitchen (instead of cooking it ourselves and getting smokey and splattered upon). They agreed to do it! Yay! Our server even helped us cut our meats (which arrived on two sizzling platters) with scissors! I was so happy! Delicious food in a calm, clean spacious restaurant! There was so much food - various banchan (side dishes) that my friend took the leftovers home! Note: There was a convenient restroom, too! I look forward to returning!
