Kim Chee Restaurant 7 — Restaurant in Oʻahu

Service is wonderful. One of the little ones only likes the seaweed in the soup, and as we were fishing out the seaweed for them, the waiter actually came back and brought a bowl chock full of seaweed just for the kiddo. Talk about winning customer service! Amazing!

For three people, the Kim Chee Restaurant special ($30 as of Jan 2017) is WAY more than enough; 2 of us shared one bowl of rice and we added 1 extra bowl of rice for $1.50 (it is usually one bowl of refillable rice per person) and we actually came home with leftovers. See photos. Kim chee was fresh, not at all sour. We prefer it fresh for restaurants.

Restaurant gets pretty crowded at dinner time. There is a sign-up sheet inside the restaurant by the cash register. You have to walk through the restaurant to sign up, but it's worth it. Turnover is pretty high. There is no place to sit outside (or inside) and wait though, so try to find parking right out front. You usually won't wait long, so keep an eye and an ear out for them calling your name. You can also do take-away and the menu is posted outside on the glass, or check out the photos.

Pay at the register when you're ready. Your tab is kept up front.

Accepts credit cards.

Bathroom is outside; ask cashier for key.

Parking is free and usually...

8/6/2021 I had family come over for lunch so I decided to go with Korean food from Kimchee 7. After viewing their online menu, I called when they opened and it was easy ordering over the phone. I like when the person taking the order repeats the order back to me so I know they heard me correctly and the person who answered the phone did that. Pick up was smooth and the cashier was very friendly. A lot of people were dining in. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the food but it was all delicious. It may be pricey but you sure get a lot for your money! I had the Lunch Special with BBQ chicken, Meat Jun, & Fried mandoo. I shared it with my husband, who's a big eater and we were both stuffed afterwards. The other Lunch Special fed an adult and two children, ages 15 and 12. The side order of Fried Mandoo had 12 pieces! Vegetable sides included won bok kimchee, cabbage kimchee, seaweed, and bean sprouts-no choices on the side vegetables. My family couldn't believe that the mini orders were so huge! The mini Shrimp fried rice plate was a stuffed full takeout container. Everyone loved their food! I'll be back! Kimchee 7...

Absolutely amazing Korean food gem. I stumbled across this place because I was in the area looking for some food and what really caught my attention was the menu that was displayed from outside. I’m going to say the moment we walked in I felt welcomed. Everyone was so attentive and kind. We got seated the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is very quaint and family like. I really loved the menu. The prices are very affordable and when the food came out I was amazingly surprised. The food portions were huge.

I ordered a lunch special you can get two options I got meat Jun and vegetable tempura. It was priced as $17.50 which is really good. I got two large tempura it was so hot and fresh. They also gave me meat Jun sauce. It was so flavorful. My husband ordered a lunch special with spicy pork and meat Jun. it was also very hot and delicious. I will be coming back here very soon for another amazing lunch. If you love Korean food and you like affordable prices and big portions, definitely come here. Absolutely Amazing...
