The food is good! Considering the price, it is a nice place to get good Korean food :) much better than some of the other Korean spots in town. Parking is convenient too. There is parking available in Azure. I would come here again. We got the fish egg bibimbap and the soy bean noodles. Both were nicely seasoned without an excess of flavoring. Excited to try other items the next time I come!
When I asked my intern, whose family is from Korea, “What is your favorite Korean restaurant ?” She recommended Ireh. Now I know why! Looking from the outside, it does not look like a traditional Korean restaurant and you may be inclined to pass, because of its appearance… Big mistake! The food is really good! Every dish we had was delicious and cooked to perfection. Ireh just took my #1 spot for Korean Restaurants.

Delicious!! I don’t eat a lot of Korean food but I absolutely loved the bibimbap. It was even better the next day for leftovers. So good!
Delicious Korean food near Ala Moana. Authentic Korean food with ingredients from Korea. Good customer service. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.
We love Ireh and come back often! Highly recommend the rabbokki (ramen ddukbbokki / rice cakes), the kalguksi (knife-cut flour noodles), the fried chicken, the soondubu jjigae, and the LA galbie. Everything is so yummy and authentic, and the restaurant is super clean and comfortable.
first time here. place is nice. food was good (a bit pricey)
took a long time for our food to be served. staff were nice.
Short story: 10/10 recommend! Great service and delicious food!
Long story:
Service: Greeted with smiles as soon as we walked in. They gave us cold water, checked on us frequently, and were so polite and kind. They immediately got us another bottle of cold water when we ran out of the first one.
Food: We got meat jun, sundubu/soft tofu soup, and tteokbokki. The meat jun was crispy and delicious, the soft tofu soup was comforting and also delicious, and the tteokbokki was our favorite! We got cheese tteokbokki and the sweet cheese mixed with the spicy sauce was our personal favorite.
Their kimchi tasted fresh, light, and homemade.
We ended our dinner with Yuzu tea - sweet, comforting, and a great way to settle the stomach.
This ended up being my favorite Korean restaurant on O’ahu - definitely recommend! We had a great dinner and i’ll be back again :)
The food was the definition of quality. It was a short wait but inside it was crowded and packed.
Ps I recommend the meat jun
All the food was real home style Korean cooking. The mandu and bibimnangmeon were some of the best I’ve ever had. I miss Korea so much and it satisfied my craving❤️
First time coming here and we had an amazing dinner!! The food was fresh and delicious, the menu is amazing and all of the staff were friendly. I highly recommended stopping by, we'll definitely be back!
Went on a Tuesday night around 630. Not too busy but started picking up right after we sat. Fair amount of seating, only inside the store.
Food wise: only side of kimchee and onions given compared to other Korean restaurants. Food came rather quickly. +++ cheese tteok-bokki and chive seafood pancake. Definitely a place to share your food with your table.
We parked on the street because it wasn’t very obvious where we were able to park for this restaurant so you may want to call and ask for parking locations prior to coming.
Interesting menu with large selection of items not available in typical Korean restaurants. Noodles are good. Service is efficient, if somewhat curt.
Although it's a long wait for food to be served, the food tastes amazing.
I love the vegetable Bibimbap. Very satisfying when you feel the need of detoxification.
You can choose quinoa, rice or brown rice to with the veggie
My husband likes their meat Jun.
We’ve tried the fried potstickers - it was ok. The filling was good. I prefer their boiled version.
I like them because they don’t use MSG, additives, artificial flavoring. Keeping up with natural ingredients are way to go.
We had a Tobiko vegetable and rice. It was served in a hot stone bowl. So the rice became very crispy and delicious!! I love their corn tea too!
Very cozy and home like atmosphere. The food tasted pretty authentic, and was delicious. This is definitely a no-frills place. The garlic shrimp was a surprising standout of the two dishes we ordered.
Really soothing soup. Liked the chicken soup and potato hand cut noodles. Homemade kimchi is also tasty. Would recommend
