Kyung's Seafood - Seafood restaurant in Honolulu - 1269 S King St, USA

Cannot sing enough praises about this place. TLDR; sashimi combo and kalbi. We were so awestruck by the sashimi and kalbi that we came back the next day. Sashimi is fresh, creamy, tender. The kalbi is plump, smoky, and tender and juicy. Honestly probably among the best kalbi I've had and I grew up in SoCal too. The bon chan were also great. The mac salad was perfect and was what I was looking for in a mac salad all week in Oahu. Kimchi and radish were fresh and crunchy. Pricing is reasonable for the quality. 24 sashimi pieces (ahi, salmon, yellowtail) for $30. 6 kalbi short rib pieces and rice for $20. When we came back we got the sashimi salad (typically 7 pieces of ahi, quarter pound of cubed salmon, masago) and the meat jun and mama's special ahi poke. All were solid but could not compare to the sashimi combo and kalbi. Service was good. They have a mom & pop vibe. Small but pleasant dining area. Parking is a little hard to find. All street residential parking. It's on the first floor of a corner building. Unassuming but you won't regret it. Definitely my highlight foodwise while in Oahu.

Hands down best food in Hawaii! Group of 8 of us booked a reservation and had the meal of our lives. Extremely authentic Korean food, efficient service, top tier quality. Fried mandu, kalbi, bbq chicken, kimchi fried rice, poke, chicken katsu, seafood pancake, and soju- all amazing!!

One of my favorite places to eat in Oahu! Bare interiors but really high quality food. Highly recommend the sashimi combo plate (such great value for 30 dollars), seafood stew, kimchi fried rice, and meat jun!

Amazing customer service and DELICIOUS food truly life changing best kalbi and sashimi i’ve had possibly ever. Delicious chicken wings! Best kimchi fried rice. Thank you for an unforgettable dinner!

One of the best meals we had while visiting O’ahu! We had the sashimi platter and the beef jeon and poke plate. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous! Service was also great.

Saw Kyung’s on a list of essential “off the beaten path” Honolulu restaurants. We’re pretty adventurous eaters and love Korean and sushi, so this seemed up our alley. Without doing too much research, we walked over from Waikiki and started getting nervous that the restaurant would be a tiny hole in the wall or sketch etc. But were pleasantly surprised when we went inside. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We ordered the small sashimi platter plus the Kalbi and Poke combo. This came with some banchan of kimchi, Mac salad, and pickled radishes. Everything was delicious!! The sashimi was some of the best I’ve had, even compared to some of the “elite” sushi spots we’ve had in LA. And the kalbi were so good too. All the banchan were very good too. For the money, we felt this was really good value. All in all, highly recommend!

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday. We rant to reserve a table in advance, which they were happy to accommodate. It’s a vibrant/loud restaurant that really feels authentic. The food was amazing, great value and delicious. We got the sashimi $30, meat Jun and kalbi. All tastes great. I’d highly recommend for a good value, delicious and easy meal.

We went for happy hour. $10 pitchers! Meat jun and fried mandu were good but nothing to write home about. The poke, however, was out of this world good. We got the mamas special. the little bit of rock salt goes a long way to make it extra delicious. Its a tiny place and we were happy to sit at a table that was reserved an hour+ later.
