Reviews for Yong's Kal-Bi in Waimea, HI
Always fresh, hot and delicious. We rely on this as a stop for brunch and lunch. The pancakes are our favorite. What?s so good... are plenty of vegan options and the chef is mindful on vegan preparation in the kitchen. Read more
Amazing Korean home cooking! We are from California and have great access to Korean food, and thought this place was bomb. We... got the garlic chive onion pancake, tofu bibimbop and the 22 combo with Korean chicken, bulgogi and mandu. The tofu bibimbop wasso flavorful, all the veggies were seasoned or pickled perfectly. The Korean chicken was our favorite of the combo plate. Giantportions too, as well as really sweet staff. It you?re thinking about coming in, do it! Read more
Exceptional and tasty food. I had the bulgogi and Fish Jun for my boyfriend! Both are very delicious and we love the side... dishes! And also we are so glad that they are pet friendly and allowed our dear ?Apple? to go in the restaurant with us. Theyeven gave her a bowl of water! That?s really sweet! So if you get to visit this beautiful town Waimea, this place is highlyrecommend to eat! Read more
Very good and tasty Korean food. The bulgogi and Kalbi were excellent. The kimchi and radish side dish were also tasty. We... have been to this place every time we pass by Waimea on each of our trip to the Big Island. This would be our 3rd time here andwe have not been disappointed so far. We love this place.

In California, we?re spoiled with delicious Korean food and so many Korean restaurants I would say, if you are in mood of Korean... food like California then visit this location. Food portion is massive and pricing is reasonable. You have to order the food andthen take a seat. My kids wanted chicken and rice and they were fully satisfied and content with the taste. Especially, my pickyson has tough time trying new restaurant but this place meets my six year old?s expectation. I loved their spicy shrimpstir-fry and the side dishes. My daughter liked the glass noodles and fish cakes. Those were delicious. I would totallyrecommend this restaurant and come back again. Read more
Really great family owned business. This is one of our favorite places to get lunch in Waimea. Huge menu, yummy food, and... excellent service. They just opened their dining room again so you can dine in. Read more
Our family visited Yong?s Kalbi twice during our vacation. We are from Southern California. We have access to excellent Korean... food. But this place is none like anything in Southern California. It?s homemade like they are feeding family and friends. Libby watches over the Counter. She is so friendly and provides excellent service to anyone visiting. It?s truly a gem in theBig Island. We visited this place about 15 years ago. It was founded /cooked by the father/mother family restaurant. Now it?srun by the son-wife with same taste and quality. Make the drive and go dine there. Everything is excellent. My son?s ownwords ?best Korean food he ever had?. Read more
After being disappointed meal after meal in and around the resorts, Yong?s was a very nice surprise. Tried the #24 combo and... also #16 (fish jun) - both were delicious. Thanks to all of the previous reviewers that said Yong?s is on par with Korean placesin California, I completely agree and it is well worth the drive. Read more
