Elim Korean Barbeque

I would give zero stars if I could. $29 for a bi bim bap, side of man doo, and 4 small pieces of kimchee pancake. There was almost NO meat on the bi bim bap, the kimchee pancake was old, cold and had no sauce, and the mandoo was pretty much the only thing that was worth eating. Oh, and it's cash only. I absolutely LOVE Korean BBQ and never have had a complaint but this place is TRASHHHH

This is my go to Korean food place! When returning from a trip, or feeling under the weather, I have the Yook Gae Jang. Other family favorites are the meat Jun, spicy chicken, and mandoo. Everything is good and the veggies are fresh. It's only cash (I get it, who wants to pay a fee?) and I would call ahead as they cook to order (which takes time, but you will appreciate it). I've been going here for YEARS and will continue to support this family owned business. Not the prettiest place to dine in (still closed for dine in anyway) but it works and they are pretty generous with the veggies.

I must start the review with a disclaimer: I am not familiar with Korean food outside of this experience. The restaurant itself isn’t very clean. The lady taking orders was friendly enough. After much consideration we ended up ordering a spicy chicken dish with one of every veggie dish that was offered. The chicken tasted pretty good. The vegetables were really just so so. Although the price was right, and the food was plentiful, we weren’t very impressed by the flavor. Most likely, we will not eat here again.

Favorite Korean place in Ewa! Meat Jun is always cooked perfectly. Not over fried and the amount of food is awesome!

Elims has been apart of the Ewa beach shopping center for as long as I can remember. mom and pop shop, cardboard everywhere but still nicely intact, food counter is clean cold drinks are laid out nice and the banchan area is always filled. I thought to come here instead of pearls chain restaurant just to support local cuz id be sad to see them fold. I ordered the classic kalbi & meatjun combo. Now, the reviews may be right about the meatjun. It’s not the best, meat was kinda tough but flavor wise was ok, I’m all about having a good sauce to cover that so i ordered extra meat Jun sauce. Kalbi was freakin good. Way better than pearls because the marinate and smoky taste from the grill comes thru. It’s also not overly sauced up like some places, it just tastes like homemade kalbi cooked on
