TL;DR: If you're in Honolulu, don't miss out on Khan Skewer! The service is fantastic, thanks to all three of the servers who made us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely delicious! Must-tries include the chicken thigh skewers, beef brisket with tendon, Mongolian fried rice, and chicken wings. Plus, they surprised us with some thoughtful Lunar New Year treats and free honeydew shave ice at the end. There are a couple of quirky menu items, but overall, we had a fantastic meal for just $125 for four people. Highly recommend!
Full Review: Authentic Flavors, Outstanding Service, and a Great Value
We had such a great time at Khan Skewer in Honolulu. From the moment we stepped inside, the service was top-notch. Every server was super attentive and made us feel genuinely welcome. Even when we had to switch tables to make room for a bigger group, they handled it like pros--smooth and easy!
Food Quality - Hits and Highlights
Now, let's talk about the food. Chicken Thigh Skewers: These were the star of the show! We couldn't help but say "mm" out loud. They were juicy and packed with flavor Beef Brisket with Tendon: This quickly became one of our favorites. It was so tender and rich, with that deep umami flavor that just hits the spot. Mongolian Fried Rice: Surprisingly, this was one of the best dishes we tried. It came out piping hot and bursting with flavor--definitely a must-order! Chicken Wings: These were easily in our top three. The flavor was incredible, and they had that perfect crispy texture. Great way to end the feast. Scallion Pancake: Thin and delicious--a solid start to the meal. In my opinion, this wasn't big enough to justify the cost, though. Cilantro Eggplant: Perfect for eggplant fans; it had a great balance of flavors, and was easy to cut in 4. King Oyster Mushrooms: Simple but satisfying. Deep Fried Corn: A fun, crispy treat that we loved. We received this on accident actually. Beef Skewers: Really tasty, though a couple of pieces had a bit too much fat for my liking. Mongolian Naan: Served in halves--good, but I wish they were a bit bigger.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to ask for the extra spicy pepper flake powder! It's not too overwhelming but adds a ton of flavor.
Service - Above and Beyond
The service at Khan Skewer is truly something special. Each of the three servers gave us equal attention, making sure our food was fresh and that we were enjoying everything. As a sweet touch for Lunar New Year, they surprised us with goodies, and to top it all off, we got free honeydew shave ice at the end--a refreshing and delightful way to wrap up our meal. This is standard for them, but truly thoughtful nonetheless.
Price - Good Value For a total of $125, four of us left feeling completely full and satisfied. Considering the quality of the food, the generous portions, and the excellent service, this was a decently priced meal.
Overall Experience Sure, there were a couple of minor quirks with the menu (like some items not listing portion sizes), but honestly, this place is a must-visit if you're craving authentic Mongolian and grilled skewers. With the delicious food, attentive service, and thoughtful extras, Khan Skewer easily ranks as one of the best casual dining experiences...
Read moreWow amazing! Everything tasted soooo good. Flavorful, tender, juicy. If you love the taste of cumin like me, you're gonna love it here! Chinese bbq is one of my favs type of izakaya / bbq style because I just love the bold flavor. This place knows how to cook it. Nothing was chewy or overcooked or over seasoned!
My top choices are the beef tongue, lamb, king mushroom, chicken gizzard and heart. Also try their seafood too! Abalone, scallops and oysters. Fresh and yummy!
Their complimentary shave ice was delicious too! The ice was soft and the honeydew and brown sugar flavor both tasted good. The restaurant was so generous with that and it really sealed the deal for me for giving them 5 stars.
Paid parking lot. you can pay on the app or website. $3 flat rate.
