Frog House Restaurant — Restaurant in Honolulu

Here a not so hidden gem of a hidden gem for a great Korean restaurant. It is on the upper section of Kalakaua avenue just outside of Waikiki heading towards Berenania street next to a questionable massage parlor (got to add the visuals, LOL).

It is small with limited tables, so I suggest eating early before the crowds get there. This was our second time and we went for lunch again. The food is really good and especially the soup dishes as well as their homemade banchan.

The portions are generous and visually appealing as well as very tasty. Everything was freshly prepared and served up piping hot. Along with the good food was very nice service. You feel very comfortable there a know your food is being prepared with love and care.

The seafood soup is packed with all kinds of goodies from the sea as well as flavor that just won't stop. The black goat soup is an unexpected delight and something that is different, but not so exotic that it is an acquired taste.

If you are a new customer, they do make it clear that they don't serve frogs, which I found very amusing. There must be something lost in translation from the restaurant that attracts people because they think they can get frog legs there.

This is winner of a Korean restaurant in my book and highly...

We live very close to here and walk by a lot (the bus stop is right out front), but we have always been weary to try it. It looks super sketchy from the outside and not the cleanest from the inside or back. A friend recommended we go there for lunch one day and boy am I glad I got to try it! The menu is hard to understand if you don’t read Korean or aren’t familiar with the food so I’m glad my friend knew what to order. I tried the spicy beef stew and it was yummy!

The prices are reasonable. There’s not much parking so it’s best if you walk or look for parking down by the middle school.

I give it 4 stars because of cleanliness (still a bit weary about it) and because the menu is not easily understood by those who aren’t familiar with Korean food. Worth a shot if you’re looking for authentic...

Amazing hole-in-the-wall! I saw this restaurant while on the way to my hotel in Waikiki and wanted to try it out just based on the pictures displayed on their window. As my first introduction to Honolulu cuisine, the Frog House did not disappoint! My husband and I ordered soups, and initially, I got food envy watching other customers get dishes for their Korean grill. As soon as the spicy beef and vegetable soup I'd ordered arrived, my envy disappeared completely. I only have a week here, but I know I am going back to enjoy another meal at the Frog House! The only downside to this restaurant is the bathroom was...
