Got a spicy chicken and shrimp tempura combo with kimchi, glass noodles, sprouts and cabbage. Came with a side of rice. The chicken was good and cooked perfectly. The sides were bland and could do more seasoning. Kimchi was disappointing. Special mention to the white woman on the register who probably hasn’t seen a brown person before. Checking me out from top to bottom and very rude. Needs to learn manners or not get into customer service and sit at home.

Good people, bad value. I splurged for the Kalbi combo with meat jun. For a $20 plate lunch, I expected better quality and, for a place called kalbi express, their portion was small and was like eating rubber bands in sauce. Three very small pieces. The meat jun was decent but both were small portions. Don’t bother with the kalbi, just grab a piece of leather and chew on it.

The Kalbi combo was a disappointing lunch- for ~$18 the kalbi quality was not good (thin, stringy fat, no char marks, and a small portion for the price); the japchae was soggy. The chicken katsu and sides were reasonable. Overall, I cannot recommend this place and there are other plate lunch options in Hilo that have better quality and value.

Felt really sick and although their soup cost $15 (with taxes) i was willing to pay that but the wrong order was received. Cashier was not friendly at all about this matter and insisted that too bad and owners and family all came out of the back to say too bad. I believe that no matter what providing great customer service keeps people coming back and helps you get referrals and with this particular establishment it's more of like too bad we are right you are wrong if you don't like it go eat somewhere else attitude. Will probably never recommend this place even though the food is decent the prices are high but the owners are not very accommodating to...

Kalbi's is located in the Waiakea food court next to Walmart. You can dine in or take out. They have a lot of selections to choose from.

Their best dishes are the Korean menu if you love hot and spicy. Also, they have some local and American food menus to choose from too! Some dishes are pricey but it's worth it.

The staff are friendly and they do their best to serve you. Their combo selections are also great too! Their serving time is awesome!

Just be aware, if the line is long. Just be patient! I give them a 5 star rating because they used to be located in the plaza.

Don't take my word for it, try them out yourself! Have a wonderful day! Enjoy...

Major disappointment. Ordered Chicken Katsu small plate. Chicken was all dark meat pieces and very bland. The Kimchi was NOT fermented cabbage, was basically cabbage with spices. The broccoli tasted good, a hint of sesame oil. The broccoli were primary large stem pieces though. Price was about $12. After seeing the many positive reviews, I can only imagine they are fake reviews! Drive to Suisan Fish Market, 93 Lihiwai St, Hilo, HI 96720 to get a delicious Ahi Poke Bowl instead and also...
