YUMMY'S KOREAN BBQ

YUMMY'S KOREAN BBQ

HONOLULU, HAWAII

One good thing about living in Hawaii is the place is loaded with good Korean BBQ restaurants.  I like Best Korean BBQ on Sand Island but Yummy's does a good job too.  This is the Yummy's Special Plate.  It includes Kal Bi, BBQ Beef and BBQ Chicken and is served with your choice of four vegetables for around $8.  This is enough food to enjoy for lunch and dinner.  I take more than half home and my girls love it.  On this visit I chose Corn, Kim Chee and a double order of Spicy Cucumbers.  Really liked the Chicken and BBQ Beef.  Full of flavor.  Here is a bit of info from the Yummy's website.

As the flagship line, Yummy Korean BBQ has set the standard that other concepts in the restaurant group follow.  Gallons of marinade are prepared at one centralized kitchen, while vegetables and meats are cut at another kitchen and are delivered to Yummy restaurants each morning.  Yummy knows its business so well that only enough meats and vegetables are cut for a full day's supply with limited overage.  This eliminates extra costs and guarantees quality and consistancy.  Frozen pieces of barbecue beef, chicken and kal bi are soaked overnight in the marinade and not an hour longer to ensure the right texture so that meats are tender but not mushy.  Entrees are prepared on-site for freshness.  Yummy uses black cod, a white flesh, mild flavored fish, for its Fish Jun.  Specialties include Kalbi, Meat Jun and BBQ Chicken.  Diners pick an entree accompanied by your choice of vegetable side dishes and steamed rice.  Combination plates, mini plates, noodles and soups, and side orders are also available.
