Came here for a quick lunch; service was great! The Yuzu Tea was very good and our waitress was very attentive.
We had the garbanzo curry, Truffle Mandoo, and Confit Pork Belly Brulee, which was a little pricey, but they were all very good and filling. The Truffle Mandoo is served with soy sauce cubes and daikon, which was a unique surprise. Our meals came with mixed rice and a salad as well!
We had lunch here and although it was busy, the kitchen got food out to us quickly. I was totally blown away at how thoughfully crafted each dish was. And talk about every bite being flavourful, it was!
Solid restaurant in hotel Westin. Had dinner at the Bar…. Our bartender Pedro speaks great English and is a very talented mixologist. Had two of their signature cocktails, the sunset and blue.. both good. Service was ok. My wife had the salmon, we shared the fish and chips!!! Both were great. I had the Korean truffle burger… is was ok but the patty was under seasoned. All in all very good but on the pricey side of option in Busan. But like most option in a 5 star hotel you are going to pay far more than in the city.
Tried a new place tonight on the recommendation of a friend, and it didn't disappoint! If you know me, you know I don't like salmon, but I thought it interesting to find salmon on the menu at a Korean restaurant. Since I love Korean food, I thought I'd give it a chance figuring I'd trade for my Mom's Bi Bim Bap if I didn't care for it. Well, it was outstanding! I couldn't even tell it was salmon. I can't remember exactly how it was garnished other than it had seaweed and panko, but it's a definite must try! And then, check out our tiramisu in a 4" ceramic pot made to look like a plant! Oh, and I can't forget the truffle mandoo with daikon and shoyu gel. Wow! That dish was broke da mouth! This place was phenomenal!
The seat was too small and I had to squeeze in. Except this, everything was very nice. I like the bibimpah with spicy chicken, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Very fresh!! And the staffs are very friendly.
Really tasty Korean food, my friends and I had the best time here! The Basque burnt cheesecake was amazing and so was everything else! They had very helpful and caring staff! The owner was a very sweet lady, if I lived in Honolulu I would definitely be a regular here!
Fantastic Korean Restaurant! The menu is very original, and the taste of dishes is very rich and enjoyable!
Cheese Tonkatsu is mouth-watering, it is really the best dish for cheese lovers. I definitely recommend to try it. Bibimbab in stone pot is yummy, very rich in taste, there is a lot of vegetables and mushrooms. It is served with the soup, which is savory and piquant.
I was impressed by the taste of dishes here, and recommend to visit this restaurant 100%. Also, I want to emphasize the service, everything was professionally and quick!
The restaurant looks unassuming but it is definitely a gem. The store front looks like it has very limited seating but they will take you back to a cute patio lit with string lights for a nice ambience.
The menu constantly changes with interesting options and lots of plant based vegan dishes which are clearly marked and helps people in making their choices. All the food were innovative and fun, we had the vegan mandoo and it came with a cubed soy sauce hello which elevated our dining experience. All the dishes were well plated and tasted even more amazing. I had black fish and chips, it was so yummy I forgot to take a picture, and I take pictures of everything!
Landed late at HNL and came here to eat mid-afternoon. They offered to sit on the patio (need to walk past the kitchen) and it reminded me of Kauai as we were greeted by some chickens. The menu was innovative and appealing. We tried the black fish & chips, Korean chicken, pork belly and Kalbi steak. The presentation = 5 stars; the food = 4.5 stars; the service = 4 stars, value for money = 4 stars.

10/10 loved the food, had unique options, and put their own spin on classic Korean food to make it even more delicious! Favourite thing we had was the elote ice cream (it's corn shaped!)
We had the lobster ramen special which was the special for February and was absolutely delicious - the broth was very rich with spice and soaked with lobster flavour, and the noodles were chewy and felt fresh and homemade. Definitely reminded us of one of the top ramen places we had in New York - the noodles here were that good.
The other dishes we had were the kalbi steak which was juicy and went really well with the sweet shoyu sauce; along with the truffle mandoo (dumplings) had the perfect crunch on the outside with the jelly sauce.
Dessert was the elote (spicy mexican corn) ice cream - omg this was my favourite thing ever. They made it looks EXACTLY like the real thing (corn shaped) and the ice cream was creamy and smooth and really really good paired with the white chocolate powder on top. It even had corn flakes sprinkled inside to give it a good crunch. If you're worried about spice - it's not spicy at all, just had a mild yet creamy sweet corn vanilla flavour!
Honestly one of the best meals I have ever eaten, the food was delicious and authentic!! The outdoor seating is lovely and all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! It's worth going out of your way to eat here, we'll definitely be back!
What a delightful surprise, Okims serves nuanced and delightful flavors that deliver! I tried the miso eggplant and seaweed salmon and roasted veggies and ate both salads with their yuzu and sesame seed dressings. Don’t pass on dessert! The “Elote” ice cream was molded to look like corn, with crumbles and dusted with beet powder and white chocolate, it’s yummy and playful. Highly recommend for food that normally I would expect to be charged double.
Restaurant is spare, not luxe dining. Service is sweet and genuine.
Cozy Korean dining in Honolulu's Chinatown. Seating is limited so you may need to be patient but your patience will be rewarded. We had the bibimbap with spicy chicken, the Korean chicken, the kalbi beef, and the lasagna. The bibimbap was fresh and bright with tender spicy chicken and savory mushrooms, tender greens, and crunchy bean sprouts. Fried to perfect, the Korean chicken is sweet and spicy with potato croquettes and red rice. Melt-in-your-mouth tender and savory is the best way to describe the kalbi beef and it came with fried pumpkin and potatoes with rice. Finally, the lasagna was filled with kalbi beef and cheese - it was definitely good but a little heavy and could have benefitted from some greens to add volume and freshness. We sat on the cute back patio and it was a nice relaxed and delicious lunch.
Food was delish and the portions were big. Be sure to check it out if you’re craving good Korean food. The patio in the back is cute, but small. Make reservations cause it gets pretty busy!
Absolutely loved this place. Great appetizers and Korean chicken! We will certainly come back this place for a larger meal with the family.
Great food in an unassuming spot. I had their fried Korean chicken and Gnocchi, which was excellent, and finished the meal off with their elote ice cream - a very interesting dessert! Their back patio area is intimate and cozy, if you're looking for that kind of thing.
Truffle Mushroom Mandoo is so light and crispy. Try the pork jowl and korean chicken. You get salad with your order choice of black sesame or lemon mayo dressing. Take a botyle home its so good.
Very cozy spot. Amazing food. The portion is just right but very hearty and filling. I got the miso eggplant and it was sooooo amazing. My gf loves getting their salmon. Call in for your takeout. Everything is made fresh so call ahead of time! Oh! They have this amazing house made black sesame dressing that tastes so amazing with the salad (salad is fresh!!)
We just discovered O'Kims last month and it's quickly become one of our favorite spots. So far we love the Confit Pork Belly, Garbanzo Curry, and Truffle Mandoo! Since it is difficult to find parking we've only done take out but look forward to dining in. Every month they have unique specials that are definitely worth the try. The Italian Fish last month was amazing and we hope they bring it back again in the future! As for the drinks, we tried the Yuzu Lemonade and Strawberry Mojito and I prefer the strawberry. They have great vegan options too. Everything is so tasty, can't go wrong!
