Saw this restaurant bc we parked by there and intended to go to Tonkatsu Ginza but they weren't accepting anymore tables for the evening. We remembered seeing Ginza Won on the way in and decided let's just go here to eat and we're 100 percent super happy! Their quality of meats was sooo good and their seafood tofu soup was the best we've eaten in so long. Seafood was so fresh. The services was so great. The server was very authentic and personable. He gave us great suggestions and kept our banchan full. He mentioned his mom made that super delicious tofu soup. Definitely we will be back next time we're in Hawaii.

Located in Waikiki, we walked here for the touristy shopping area. The set meal for 2 cost around $95, but it can easily serve 3 persons as I had left overs for dinner the next day. Bonchon was nice and I liked the tofu soup. The spicy if level of tofu soup was a little weak, like 2 out of 10 spicy but it's ok, they don't want to offend any taste buds. There were many choices for soju and we for a pre-mixed mango soju $22 which could have served 3-4 people. Great place to have Korean bbq!

A hidden gem. There's a parking area across the street...a bit pricey, down an alley way off Lewers. Came with a large party of 7 with reservations on a Sunday evening and it was packed...had to wait about 20 minutes. It's a small but comfortable place. Be aware you will have smoky clothes when you leave as you bbq everything at your table. Enough said...but a fun interactive dinner. The meats were plentiful for all 7 of us, just wished there were more veges. The banchan was unremarkable, with only three selections and a very simple lettuce salad. The best we could do was order the B course with several additional sides. It was plenty of food. Best tasting was the marinaded short ribs. If in the area, should check this out!

We stumbled upon this place while heading to another Korean restaurant, but decided to stop here instead when we saw their street ad, saving us a longer walk. And I'm so glad we did! The service was unexpectedly attentive from every member of the staff. Our server, Kaito, was incredibly kind and sweet, enhancing our experience and encouraging us to try one of their set meals. At one point, another server noticed we were struggling to cut a piece of steak off the bone and immediately came over to assist us. They truly go above and beyond, paying close attention to every detail. The ambiance was also enhanced by the soothing jazz music playing in the background, which added a lovely touch to our dining experience. By the end of the meal, we were completely satisfied and full. In a funny twist, I mentioned to my partner that pineapple for dessert would be perfect, and, as if on cue, Kaito brought out chilled pineapple! It was the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. Thank you to Kaito and the entire staff!

Other than the alley where it's located which wasn't bad it's just not easy to see when walking on the street the place was very nice looking inside. The staff was so attentive and efficient the entire time it was already a pleasure being here. The bbq was just too delicious. All the sides and everything was very tasty. We enjoyed the entire experience here. Honestly we were waiting across the street for the Japanese bbq and when we saw this place we got curious so went to check it out and the clients coming highly recommended it they were sooo right. We made the right move in coming here.

This is a small place, 8 or 9 tables. We arrived for an early dinner and were sat right away but by the time we were done all the tables were full and there were people waiting outside (Sunday night). They brought a lettuce "salad," which was surprisingly good and 3 sides, one of which is kimchi. Usually there is more banchan at a Korean place but I didn't really miss them. Our meal was DELICIOUS. We had the marinated short ribs (super yummy though a bit fatty), the plain soondubu (which does not have kimchi, btw) and the vegetable dolsot bibimbop (it's not vegetarian, fyi). They also brought lettuce and bean paste for the meat (OG lettuce wraps!). We also had 2 bottles of soju. We had a very enjoyable experience and service was also excellent. It's away from the Main Street and places, but not far. It's right next to a tiny karaoke bar.
