O'kims Korean Kitchen - Honolulu

Charming Korean cuisine in the heart of Honolulu's Chinatown. Seating is limited, so be prepared to wait, but your patience will definitely pay off. We enjoyed the bibimbap with spicy chicken, Korean chicken, kalbi beef, and lasagna. The bibimbap was vibrant and fresh, featuring tender spicy chicken, flavorful mushrooms, and crisp bean sprouts. The Korean chicken offered a delightful sweet and spicy flavor, accompanied by potato croquettes and red rice. The kalbi beef was incredibly tender and savory, served with fried pumpkin and potatoes alongside rice. Lastly, the lasagna, filled with kalbi beef and cheese, was quite delicious but a bit heavy; it could have used some greens for added freshness. We dined on the charming back terrace, making for a relaxing and enjoyable lunch.

"Wow! I haven't even left the restaurant yet, and I’m already here to share my thoughts. I tried the November monthly specials, and they were bursting with flavor and the perfect portion size. You definitely need to stop by and experience this incredible food for yourself. I also ordered all vegan dishes, and they were absolutely outstanding—truly unmatched!"

Absolutely DELICIOUS! I had the Korean chicken, and it was fantastic. The sweet and spicy sauce on the chicken was just right—not too hot and not too sweet. We enjoyed sitting outside in the charming garden. I highly recommend this place, and I'm definitely going back for a second visit this week!

The gochujang chicken was great and the purple rice was great. I really enjoyed the roasted Brussels sprouts with the sweet Gochujang sauce. I think they have seasonal menus? I came for the pig bell, but ended up with gochujang chicken. No regret!

It was first time having Korean food and it was outstanding. I got the Korean chicken and it was absolutely perfect and a huge portion too. Would absolutely recommend coming here, we have been in Hawaii now over 2 weeks and this was by far one of our best meals.
