Great service and delicious, well prepared food. The vegetable pancake was perfectly crispy and delicious. The kalbi soup was full of meat so good. The japchae was delicious. The cold soup was tasty Lots of high quality banchans. Can't wait to return.

Delicious Kalbi marinate. Great service and nice and clean place. Very friendly owner. Was my first time and enjoyed it very much. I will go back again.

Food A+ Service A+++ Yakiniku Seoul is a long standing, no frills Korean BBQ spot that delivers amazing food and service. The quality of their meat is amazing. Their beef finger (the delicious, flavorful meat between rib bones), and outside skirt really stand out. It's worth mentioning that the finger meat isn't so common in many KBBQ places. Their banchan (complementary side dishes) are all tasty and they have a decent variety. For non table top bbq options, their cooked dishes are all solid. I personally love the steamed butterfish dish. A cold noodle after a meal of grilled meats is refreshing and can fill you up without making you feel too full and heavy. I most recently came on a slow afternoon and the ladies working were all extremely friendly and welcoming. My baby was fussing a little towards the middle of the meal and they were so generous they helped us rock her in her stroller until she fell asleep. Our waters were never empty and the staff made it clear that it wasn't a hassle to ask for more banchan when we wanted. Even on other occasions, during busy dinner rushes service has been impeccable. Yakiniku Seoul is a must for Korean bbq in Oahu. They have been a staple for decades and continue to deliver an outstanding dining experience. I need to add pictures to this review the next time I stop in. We were all ravenous and forgot to take a single picture before diving in.

Ambiance traditional Korean restaurant. Service friendly, efficient and attentive. Ordered the meat Jun, Kalbi soup. Both were excellent! Meat Jun is thinly sliced layers of beef, flavored, dipped in egg and fried. It was sooo good. This was the best meat Jun I've tasted. Kalbi stew served in a dolsot pot all bubbly and comforting. The Kalbi is cut into bite size pieces at the table by the server. Broth rich and seasoned well. Good assortment of banchan as much as you want. Lots of parking available in the lot behind the building. Go check it out!

This place run business long time and food is good and reasonable. 8 of Assorted namuls are free. They have private parking. Most local people, so not that crowd

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!

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!
