    This place is hidden gem. We saw all of the positive reviews and had to give it a try. Since it was our first time here we decided to get the mixed plate. It was all very good, but the sliced beef was excellent...so good in fact we plan on going again tomorrow. Seating is limited so carry out is a good option.

    Probably the best Korean food I have had so far. The owner is amazing and genuinely cares about the food he prepares...hospitality is superb! Location is not the best...since it’s next to some factory... but for awesome food lovers that shouldn’t be an issue. Highly recommend checking out this place for someone who enjoys Korean BBQ. More than 5 start place for sure!!

    Inexpensive good food. The spicy chicken is just that spicy but not burning hot. It is a sweet spicy sauce placed on after it is fried. The Kimchee side is a good contrast to the sweet of the chicken sauce. Rice served with a side of macaroni is really a Hawaiian thing. The rice is good and the macaroni is good, so no complaints here. Food is ordered at the counter and in my case it was brought to me. Normally I believe you pay attention and look for it to appear on the counter.

    Had the spicy pork with rice and salad. It was delicious, not too spicy. I loved it!

    Best Korean food in Kona! The owner is very helpful and friendly. He took lots of time to talk through the menu and recommended food for my family and i. This place is a little out of the way but well worth the trip. With so many tourist traps all over the islands it was really nice to find this joint that was not as upscale but has 10x better food. The Korean spicy fried chicken was awesome! I mean it’s worth flying back here for. The Bulgogi was delicious. We have a good Korean place in Portland Oregon we love but this place was honestly just as good. If you come to Kona you absolutely should go here.
