I visit Hawaii every year, and like trying out new restaurants (in between all my favorites). I saw this restaurant's ad in a korean flier : $10.99 for Lunch Buffet, starting 8/21/2012 with over 40 items including Tang-Soo-Yook (my husband's favorite), and Pork Bul-go-gi (my favorite), etc. So, we (along with my nephew) went there with eager anticipation. Only to... More

This was my favorite meal of my trip. We stayed with friends when visiting (hawaiian locals) and this is their favorite place to eat when they want to eat a LOT! Basically it is an all you can eat, grill your own food type of place. They bring you raw meat (chicken, kalbi beef, rib eye steak, cow tongue, teryaki... More

This restaurant has rude service! The owner and waitress would charge me extra without giving us the full amount of what it should be on the menu!!! I've been a food critic for years and this is one of the worst Korean restaurants I've been to!!! I was also with my family to experience it for the first time and... More

Four of us went there on 3/30/09. The service was awful. The waitress never came to the table to ask if we needed anything. We had to ask for EVERYTHING to someone else. The table was not serviced at all nor were dishes removed when needed. We ordered an extra dish and it never came. When one person asked for... More

Here we are in the land of aloha - the home of Obama - where many races live side by side. Also, there is just amazing cuisine in Hawaii. We love Korean food, so having read the reviews, we went to eat here. Overall, the food tasted OK. Not really special, not awful. About equal to Korean fast food widely... More

I live right across the street from the Shillawon, and I do have to say that the quality of the food and service was incredible!! My wife and I ordered Kal Bi Beef and Teriyaki Chicken, which is cooked on a grill in the middle of the table. All side orders (of which there are a ton) are replenished at... More
