The Shrimp Tempura was absolutely delicious and they were huge! I wish we had a chance to go back before we left, but definitely will visit again one day. The miso soup was flavorful. They offered us more kim chee, but we were stuffed
Oh my word!! This food was the best!! I'd have to say it was my personal favorite on our visit to Hawaii. Our entire family loved everything. We dined in for lunch on our last day and the service was fantastic and the staff was friendly. My son cannot eat any dairy and everything on their menu is dairy free. In addition, the portions were huge. I couldn't finish mine and everyone else left completely stuffed. In comparison to what we spent on other meals on the Island, the pricing was a great value, especially considering the amount of food they brought. They brought out a huge serving of two separate kinds of Kim Chee and both were incredible. If you're in the area you should definitely check this place out! We tried shrimp and would recommend the katsu, BBQ pork, BBQ chicken, fried and steamed dumplings, Tonkatsu, rice, soup, shrimp katsu and the amazing Kim Chee
Great value lunch special. Pick two meats for 14.99 plus rice, veg, kimchee and soup. Lots of choices and large portions from a great family restaurant. Don’t pass it by.
Kim Chee 1 is a solid choice for delicious Korean food in a casual setting. The BBQ meats were flavorful, and the portions were generous. Their kimchi and side dishes were fresh and well-seasoned, adding a nice touch of authenticity to the meal. The service was friendly, though the restaurant can get busy during peak hours, so you might experience a bit of a wait. The ambiance is simple, but the food more than makes up for it. Overall, a great spot for satisfying your Korean food cravings without breaking the bank!
I ordered shoyu chicken & meat jun plate for $14.99 special and it came with 2 scoops of rice and more vegetatables on plate al also additional side dishes, which the server told me I could have a refill if I want to. When I got to try the food it tasted so good and also with the side dish. This is a very good price for a korean restaurant. The service was also great so it really made it a great visit.
Met up with a fishing buddy to try out Kim Chee for breakfast. Was pleasantly surprised. Got there before the restaurant opened and able to park in the front. Food was good and as expected with the price being also reasonable. Service was quick and ambiance was dinnernvibe through and through. From the outside it looked like a total dive but pleasantly surprised at the inside. Nice touch was addition of 2 types of kimchee as well as the soup. You know it's authentic when they don't give you a spoon for the soup. Looking forward to adding Kim Chee to my rotation and looking forward to trying their actual Korean food for lunch or dinner.
10/10 highly recommend They’re pretty darn fast. I used to go there a lot as a kid and so I decided to stop by and see if they’re still good. They’re def still good, menu hasn’t changed and that’s a good thing. Con: parking is a problem kinda sorta just be aware.
Amazing food! Large amounts and very tasty. The family pack can feed more than 5 people and I think it was a fair price. Parking could be a problem but in our case, we didn’t have any issues. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back if I were a local.
