Cham Cham Korean BBQ Restaurant - Korean barbecue restaurant in Hilo - 421 Kalanikoa St # 102 # 102, USA

Very yummy food! The seafood pancake was filling and very delicious. Veggies were fresh and delightful. Meat jun and kalbi ribs were also great. We will definitely be back. Mahalo!

First time back since the pandemic....the Korean food was on point and as tasty as ever. The interior has an old-school vibe and the Korean food is hands down the best on Big Island. We were craving Korean food since landing in Kona a week ago so the tasty mains (we got bibimbap, kimchi fried rice and seafood soft tofu stew with kimchi) really hit the spot. It's a shame Kona doesn't have any legit Korean spots for the locals/visitors to frequent....don't hesitate to make 1.5 hour trip to Cham Cham (Hilo) from Kona....your belly will thank you :)

I got recommend going to this local Korean spot, and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and very good. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. 🤙🏽👌🏽

The food is really good here that's why we keep going. The portions are big enough that we always bring extra home for second servings. The service could improve. They can't seem to keep the good servers they've had over the years. They don't last very long and they have had very good ones. We will always go there for the food but sometimes it's not as enticing going back because of the service.

The food is amazing! Very authentic and delicious. Highly recommend eating here

We were in the area and craving some Korean BBQ. It's been a few years since we've been here but we're so glad we popped in. Our waitress Taylor promptly greeted us and brought us menus and water. We ordered a Meat Jun & BBQ Chicken plate and a Kalbi & BBQ Chicken plate. After placing our order, Taylor bought out our veggies. The veggies were so tasty. We actually finished most of the veggies before our plates arrived. When our order arrived, our waitress realized that my wife's plate was wrong. Instead of Meat Jun they gave Chicken Katsu. It's a good thing my wife likes Chicken Katsu too. Since the kitchen made the mistake, my wife got to keep the Katsu and they brought out her Meat Jun within 5 minutes. My wife was thrilled since she got to take home leftovers. All the meats were cooked to perfection. And honestly, the best we've had in Hilo. The mandoo sauce was so delicious too! I finished up our meal with some soothing Lavender tea. We left the restaurant very satisfied and vowed to return again. Great eats complimented with superb service!!

The Worst experience in Hilo. Spend $100 here, but nothing can be eaten. Picture 1: Seafood pancakes, it is a tasteless and squishy flour pancakes, seafood are barely seen. Picture 2 : fired squid, actually is fired veggies!! is too hard to get seafoods in Hawaii?! If you want to be disappointed, just come here.

What I do not like about hasty prepared Korean food is too much vinegar, salt, and sugar. This restaurant had none of these problems and the side dishes were fresh. The waiter was very nice and attentive. I would not let the plain setting discourage you from trying their restaurant. The taste and quantity left you feeling satisfied.
