The highlights of our meal were the rose tekoboki and chive jun:) great service and a great ambiance for a date night. Based on the sever's recommendation we tried the peach Makgeolli and loved it. Took home two boxes of leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Bill was $108 with tip for two people.

If you're looking for a chill place to feast with some friends, look no further! Jagalchi has a chill vibe and big portions to feed your entire friend group! I dined in with 2 friends after a sunset hike so we ordered quite a bit. We got the Kimchi Pancake, Mandu, Rabokki, and LA Kalbi. My favorite was the Kimchi Pancake! Slightly crispy outside with a soft, warm inside. The sauce with the pancake was the perfect combo adding some acidity to cut the oiliness. The Rabokki was delicious and very filling. We added cheese on top which I definitely recommend. The Mandu was crispy, but the filling was pretty standard. The LA Kalbi was on the chewy side, so I would order a different meat next time. Service was excellent! I didn't catch his name, but our server was super nice. He was quick and very attentive! There's ample parking and restrooms inside which were nice and clean. I look forward to going back and hopefully grabbing some drinks too!

Amazing food, service, & friendly ambiance! Best Korean food on O'ahu hands down! Check them out!

made reservations. has a parking lot right in front. immediately greeted and seated. place was packed. Lotta people talking. kinda laid back and dark. had pens that you can write messages on the furniture. the staff was very helpful and kind. ordered meat jhun, LA kalbi, rabokki, seaweed rolls, chive pancake, galbi chige, and cheese fire chicken. my personal faves were the tender juicy flavorful kalbi. the simple savory soft and crunchy chive pancake. the kalbi chige was flavorful kim chee was ono. (a lil hint of tomatoe, lil hint of spiciness) rabokki was interesting... chewy ramen noods, with deokkbokki and seaweed roll and mandoo on the cheese. it was good.

excellent service, food, and atmosphere every time. i've been coming here since the first jagalchi, i love this one the most must order the bossam

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... My friends were looking for a place to have dinner and I suggested Jagalchi because most of us hadn't been there before. I called many times to make a reservation, but the phone call wouldn't go through. Luckily, Peter knew how to make a reservation, so he did! He even got the private room for the nine of us! Thank you! Paul did all of the ordering, taking into account our food allergies. We had more than enough of everything - banchan, kalbi, mandoo, chicken wings, bossam, and kimchi salad! Service was very friendly and attentive! They even provided extra plates and forks... and a knife for the cake we brought in. I appreciate that they let us store the cake in their refrigerator until dessert time! We enjoyed the free parking, air-conditioning, and yummy food! The squash jun was my favorite!

Another great night to celebrate our yelp friend Paul C. He did the ordering and the food was family style. From their banchan, zucchini, kalbi,fried mandoo, chive pancake, seafood pancake, seaweed roll, bossam with oysters,(pork belly, Napa cabbage, spicy radish). 3 combo wings platter (Classic, garlic soy, sweet and spicy). Also complimentary Kim chee salad. The service was good came with water if course checking on us to see if we had everything. Small down fall when we were ready to pay the bill they charged us for beer which nobody ordered. They did take it off the bill if Daniel C didn't catch it we all would just paid the bill. All in all good friends like always and the food was good. Thank you Nadine C for the bday cake, Peter Y. for making the reservations. Next outing to celebrate Craig T. Bday.

***4.5 STARS*** It's such a great feeling when you are able to check off a bookmark, especially with a great experience. You see, I've had Jagalchi under the radar when seeing mouth watering pics of their bossam with raw oysters, one of my favorite Korean dishes to eat. So when my foodie friends suggested we come here to celebrate my birthday, I graciously agreed. Located in the same area of Spero Spera along Young Street, Jagalchi specializes in Korean cuisine that's authentic, as well as keeping up with current food trends. Shout out to Peter Y. and Auntie (aka Nadine C.) for suggesting and making reservations. Peter scored the private dining area for us which sat our lively group of 9. Parking is challenging as it's a shared lot with multiple businesses so I had to park on Young Street when I arrived as it was a full house. Upon entry, I was caught off guard as I didn't know what to expect. Jagalchi is a homey restaurant that seems like what you'd get from a Korean home. But the food quality was from a restaurant. I had the honor of ordering for our hungry group. Prior to dining here, I reviewed their food pics on Yelp and jotted down a list of dishes that got my attention. I shared my list with them and took suggestions of what to add and eliminate. Overall, the food here is delicious. We noticed that their fried and deep fried dishes were executed well. The mandoo, seaweed rolls, chicken wings, squash jun, seafood pancake and chive pancake were all winners. The LA Galbi was served on top of sliced onions on a sizzling platter. Very tender and so delicious. For me personally, I really wanted bossam, tender pork that you wrap with blanched cabbage, spicy dried daikon, sliced jalapeño and raw garlic. Key to this dish is the briny, raw oysters which I just love. For 9 people I ordered the large platter that was impressive as it arrived. We snapped photos and it was time to dig in. First bite and I was in heaven. Pork was succulent and so tender. The cabbage was still al dente which provided another level of texture contrast. The dried daikon gave it crunch with a slightly sweet and spiciness. Genius. My dining mates, however, didn't appreciate bossam as much as me so we had quite a bit of leftovers where I gladly took home the leftovers. Service was above average where the staff were so friendly. They kindly refrigerated the birthday cake while we ate dinner and provided plates and metal forks for our dessert. So why not 5-stars? The ban chan served to us was underwhelming where a handful of us noticed and commented. Staff did bring us refills upon request but the quality, quantity and volume was didn't make par. There was also an error in our billing. Luckily my friend checked and after the error was addressed, the bill was adjusted. In closing, I am glad to have finally tried Jagalchi, especially after witnessing their bossam. Glad to report that I'm willing to drag my family here one day many of their entrees were fabulous and would love to eat them again and share this experience with loved ones. 2024 #70

Celebrating a friend's birthday at Jagalchi w/ other Yelpers . Jagalchi is located on Young St cross street is Keeamoku. My favorite was the seafood Pancake and the variety wings. Their Kalbi was a little tough although it had a good taste. Their Bachan was ok not too fancy but you can order more if you wanted . Thanks to auntie Nadine reserving a nice private small area on the side of the restaurant. The restaurant is fairly small but the service was great. The food came out very quick and all at once . Parking lot is very small they share with other businesses. Hours here at Jagalchi is from 7:30a-11:00pm which I thought wow you can have Korean for breakfast lol Support Local
