Newtown Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Oʻahu

I wanted to try this place because I would always see it when I would go to Dave”s. I am Korean and is always looking for good Korean places to eat. We walked in and sat down. We looked at the menu and OMG the fricken prices for the food was stupid expensive! I said, “This place better have good food if the prices are this high!” We ordered the seafood pancake, the New Town Special and the mandoo kook soo.. After about a couple of minutes we wanted to change the order to something else and they said they were making it already. So we just stayed with what we got. When the food came out, we got the appetizer and soup first. The appetizer (Seafood pancake) was good. They gave us the ban chan (side dishes) I was not impressed. It wasnt that good. The New Town Special which was $29.99 was the biggest disappointment! It tasted worst than Pearl’s Korean BBQ which is way cheaper than this place! I was so disappointed! The bulgogi was just gross! The meat tasted like it was bad! The mandoo soup was also not that good. I wasnt impressed. The water they put on the tables had a nasty taste too! Drink bottled water. $80.00 later for 3 items! I feel like I...

We've eaten here twice, the first time was excellent, the second time was pretty good, but the atmosphere was a little bit off.

Normally I don't care too much about ambiance at a restaurant, but we were almost the only people in there and there was an older woman there watching something on a tablet, I think she was probably family. I don't mind that at all, but she had the tablet like REALLY REALLY loud. I mean REALLY loud. It seemed like some sort of game show or something, but it really made it hard for us to have a nice dinner. We're polite, and we figured maybe it was an older family member hard of hearing so we didn't really say anything, but I figured the owner should have realized how loud it was. It was just uncomfortable.

The bbq chicken we got was pretty good, and the zucchini jun was good as well. My wife said the meat and fish just was just okay. We would probably order from here again, but more...

Absolutely outstanding! This Korean restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was simply phenomenal - every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The kimchi was perfectly fermented, the bulgogi was tender and savory, and the bibimbap was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Korean dining experience. Five stars...
