Reviews for O-Bok korean Restaurant in Honolulu, HI

Best Galbitang. Authentic. Fresh ingredients

Please avoid going to this restaurant. The waitress was extremely rude and food was so not Korean. This is not Korean food. And... they need to hire a new server. ?? ????? ???. Read more

I was a frequent patron of this restaurant. It has been difficult finding Korean food around my area and I really enjoyed O-Bok.... I went in for lunch with my s/o? nothing out of the ordinary. The restaurant was busier than usual. We did *not* expect stellarattendance by the one person working both the register and floor. It was busy and we were patient for our turn to order. Howeverwhen she came around she was INCREDIBLY rude to us. As she took our order she scoffed and visibly rolled her eyes beforecompletely ignoring us to go to another table. We were honestly taken aback and deeply uncomfortable. My s/o and I discussedways we may have possibly offended her but she was very kind to everyone else. We did not want to confront her in fear ofescalating the situation. It was a really awkward and tense lunch. I?m really really sad that this has ruined my experiencehere. I?m still not sure why we were treated so. Read more

Very authentic Korean food. Had their seafood pancake. Very good. Also the tofu stew and ahi katsu. All good. Banchan we're... also good. Read more

I?ve been having their meat jun and spicy pork for over thirty years. The owners have changed a few times, but they must?ve past... on their recipes for these dishes. Read more

O-Bok is the only authentic Korean Restaurant that I know of in Manoa. The seaweed soup and banchan (side dishes) that accompany... each course are great. I especially like their kimchi. I enjoy the relaxed, quiet, and nostalgic atmosphere of the restaurant.The staff, who I presume are owners, are also very nice. I always feel welcomed at this restaurant. I also feel like the pricesare reasonable for the quality of the food there. So far, I?ve had the bibimguksul and the combination plate. Both plates weregreat. The bibimguksul was a little spicy for me however, yet very good. I should also mention that their mandoo is terrific. Ilike O-Bok enough to throw it into my regular lunch rotation. At the time of this writing, they are closed on Mondays. Read more

The food was good that I have had a craving to return and eat there again soon.

I really enjoyed the food. We got a combo (combo D I think) and shared it between two people. Although the portion was a bit... smaller than expected, it was quite good. I also really liked the side dishes which are pictured below. The cucumber one was sogood! The food did take quite a bit to be served (it was 1pm), but there was only 1 person at the front. Read more
