Dong Yang Inn - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Old school Wahiawa Korean restaurant thats been around seemingly forever thats known for their meat jun. The original owners arent there anymore so maybe thats why the taste is a bit different nowdays. Still good but not like I remember. Service is typical of Korean restaurants.... Gotta flag them down if you want something.

Post covid hours have changed so they close very early now. Been just ordering to go, and as a common rule wherever i go I check my order before I leave🤙A generous 4 stars.

I love old-school 'hole-in-the-wall' places. But this was the most disgusting food I've ever been served.

The Fish Jun was literally inedible — just some cheap grisly trimming of tilapia. One side was overcooked and the other side was completely raw (how?) and the coating was just bland mush. I had to just throw most of it away.

The Meat Jun was slightly better. The meat was at least cooked and tender, but it too was so bland. The only real flavour was old fry oil with a hint of rice vinegar and soy sauce.

The banchan was soupy and unremarkable. The rice was nice.

Clearly this restaurant is cashing-in on nostalgia and a reputation from long ago. It's just the cheapest ingredients thrown together without any care or attention — making the price paid ($18 for a plate) that much more outrageous.

There are so many passionate chefs making incredible food on Oahu. Please save your save your time, money, and stomach and go anywhere else.

I had the spicy pork, and I was absolutely amazing. My coworkers told me they had great food here as well, so seems to be consistent. Could have used more kimchi on the side; bit what i had was great. Will be back, no doubt.

A favorite Wahiawa Korean food stop for our parents over 30 years. Lots of booth seating, take out or sit and eat. Generous serving sizes. Started off the meal with a tasty clear beef stock soup.

I really enjoyed the spicy pork. You will be served with a quick entree free of charge (soup and 2 bowls of kim chee; spicy and nonspicy). The service was fast and the food is affordable. Probably about 30+ people fit in the restaurant and I think they have a space for parties(don't quote me on that). They have a wall that displays the different sizing pans for catering. Cash, a minimum purchase of $10 using your credit/debit card acceptable. Restroom available so don't forget the key attached to a bottle. Free parking available on both sides of the building (back and front). Make sure you have cash because their card machine sometimes crashed. Popular among the locals and very delicious food! Check them out and support local!

Ok so we order 2 kalbi plates and they gave us something else. Called to see if we could get the kalbi plates ordered and wanted to charge us again when it was their mistake. Fopd was ok but not what we ordered. Picture is what they gave us. Does it look like kalbi to you?

The food was completely amazing!!! The staff was friendly which made our visit enjoyable. I look forward to coming back and having the same if not a better experience than this time. There's so many great options on the menu. The best Korean food I've experienced outside of Korea.

Best meat jun on the island! However it does taste a bit different from before and the service could be better. We waited forever to get a refill of water, would be nice if they had more than just one person serving. Overall the food was good and came out quickly. Would definitely recommend for the food but not the service.
