Kelly's Restaurant & Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Maui

if you're coming here expecting to eat Korean food, you'll be somewhat disappointed. Based on the menu, we thought this was a Korean restaurant but many of the Korean dishes were not available. This is because it used to be a Korean restaurant but now taken over by Filipino owners and kept the Korean menus.

After many days of eating Hawaiian food, our family craved Korean food. But they were just not up to par with Korean food that I'm used to. For example, the kimchi jiggae (stew) I ordered didn't even come with rice and it looked/tasted more like a soup than a stew. And no banchan (side dishes) either. other traditional Chinese dishes like Mongolian Beef and Fried Rice were okay. But we had to settle for Chinese food because many of the Korean dishes were not available.

I didn't try their Filipino menu and I'm sure they're great but don't expect to get quality Korean dishes here.

I went based on the reviews of Korean dishes but it must have been before the...

This used to be one of our favorite places to eat... last night though ..food was different..tempura shrimp tasted like it was fried in old oil.. it’s dipping sauce tasted diluted in water.. service was unfriendly..worse part..after we could no longer wait for our check and a refill on water.. we head to cashier ..tired and impatient waitress tended to us ..I feel kinda sorry that she looked so stressed..and tip them anyway ...instead of $0 ..I tip $8.. she looks at me , rolls her eyes and says ..$8??.. ..I’m shocked ..I take a deep breath walk away with..that was way too much anyway for junk food (tempura shrimp) and service. Dissapointed my hubby and I.. we think ..maybe it’s the fool moon ..on all of us... I think they really need more wait help...and reconsider the cost of skimping on fresh cooking oil etc. and rude service..

Nevertheless...the sushi, rice, chicken n beef in the bento combo were good though as usual. And their spicy seafood noodle soup...

There was three of us in our party one had Chinese and the other had Japanese those appear to be ample portions and they claimed they were yummy. I had the Korean kimchi jjigi which is a cabbage tofu, pork soup. I don't recall seeing pork listed on the menu and I'm a vegetarian. I just didn't eat the pork other than that soup was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was quaint and seem to be a local Hangout. It could have been a little cleaner. It was probably a good thing that I didn't have to use the restroom while I was there. You may not want to go there if you are in a hurry as the service was pretty slow. It seemed like there was one waitress for the whole restaurant. The prices are reasonable for the size of portions, although I was disappointed for not having as many Korean appetizers I thought...
