Since recently moving to Hilo, this has been the best Korean chicken plate to date. I still haven’t tried every restaurant yet. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Korean Chicken Plate

Good people, bad value. I splurged for the Kalbi combo with meat jun. For a $20 plate lunch, I expected better quality and, for a place called kalbi express, their portion was small and was like eating rubber bands in sauce. Three very small pieces. The meat jun was decent but both were small portions. Don’t bother with the kalbi, just grab a piece of leather and chew on it.

The Kalbi combo was a disappointing lunch- for ~$18 the kalbi quality was not good (thin, stringy fat, no char marks, and a small portion for the price); the japchae was soggy. The chicken katsu and sides were reasonable. Overall, I cannot recommend this place and there are other plate lunch options in Hilo that have better quality and value.

I got the BBQ & fish Jun compo, flavor was good But as with many places the beef was rubbery/chewy!! it's a hit or miss here sometimes very tender, this last time some of the was rubbery I'll go back but will not be ordering the BBQ beef! The sides could be more flavorful!

Got the spicy pork plate! It was delicious and soo flavorful. I just didn’t like the side dishes. The potatoes are kinda bland, the noodles are soggy, I’m sure other sides dishes are better

Got the kalbi plate came with 4 sides which is nice. Cabbage did not taste good though. Glass noodles and macaroni salad was good. Kimchi was just okay. Gave a good portion of rice. For paying around $25, I would’ve thought I would get a little bit more kalbi. The kalbi was overcooked on the outside almost burnt, but a little undercooked on inside which is strange. Possibly the worst kalbi I’ve had which made me sad.

Food was fine, but it is a damned shame that everything this restaurant serves on-premise is contained in styrofoam — especially from the perspective that this is on an island ridden from the Pacific Trash Gyre, which ravages the Southern end of this island with meters of plastic particulate accumulation.
Very friendly. Tries very hard to please customers. Food is great. Ordered my steak medium rare with garlic shrimp and the seafood soup. Every thing was tasty, tasted fresh and they cooked the steak medium rare as I ordered. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20

Kalbi's is located in the Waiakea food court next to Walmart. You can dine in or take out. They have a lot of selections to choose from. Their best dishes are the Korean menu if you love hot and spicy. Also, they have some local and American food menus to choose from too! Some dishes are pricey but it's worth it. The staff are friendly and they do their best to serve you. Their combo selections are also great too! Their serving time is awesome! Just be aware, if the line is long. Just be patient! I give them a 5 star rating because they used to be located in the plaza. Don't take my word for it, try them out yourself! Have a wonderful day! Enjoy your visit! 👍💯 Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

Major disappointment. Ordered Chicken Katsu small plate. Chicken was all dark meat pieces and very bland. The Kimchi was NOT fermented cabbage, was basically cabbage with spices. The broccoli tasted good, a hint of sesame oil. The broccoli were primary large stem pieces though. Price was about $12. After seeing the many positive reviews, I can only imagine they are fake reviews! Drive to Suisan Fish Market, 93 Lihiwai St, Hilo, HI 96720 to get a delicious Ahi Poke Bowl instead and also spend less money.
