Y'Kele Korean BBQ — Restaurant in Oʻahu

One of the worse chicken katsu I ever had. I only ate one piece. I couldn’t eat anymore. It seems like they had left overs of the chicken katsu and they just refried it again so it’s hot. But um, it was very hard and dry. Refer to the photo though I think the photo provided justice. It looked much worse with the naked eyes. Never again.. prices are a tag high. As for the service, well… my plate was ready and it was left on the counter for a while. She even looked at it but continued to do other things.
