GREAT EATS HAWAII: BEST DRIVE IN KOREAN BAR-B-Q

BEST DRIVE IN KOREAN BAR-B-Q

HONOLULU, HAWAII (SAND ISLAND)

I love Korean BBQ. If I were twenty pounds lighter, I would probably eat at them more often. For around $8.50 you get two meat selections plus your choice of four vegetables or starch and always two scoops of rice. Best Drive Inn on Sand Island Access Road serves up one of the best plates in town. On this visit I went for the Spicy Pork and Kal Bi Rib combo with Bean Sprouts, Corn, Kim Chee and a spicy turnip type vegetable. At Best you order your plate at the counter and then move to the left and choose your side dishes. There are over a dozen choices of different vegetables and potatoes. I love the Spicy Pork here. Thin slices of pork soaked in a red blanket of slightly hot spices. The Kal Bi Ribs are also delicious with a sweet smokey flavor. On this visit we hosted some mainland business folks who have never eaten Korean BBQ. Both devoured everything on their plate and said it was great. Think they wanted to take a nap after finishing.
