Ireh Restaurant

When I asked my intern, whose family is from Korea, “What is your favorite Korean restaurant ?” She recommended Ireh. Now I know why! Looking from the outside, it does not look like a traditional Korean restaurant and you may be inclined to pass, because of its appearance… Big mistake! The food is really good! Every dish we had was delicious and cooked to perfection. Ireh just took my #1 spot for Korean Restaurants. ***** Highly Recommended ***** Overall: ***** Food: ***** very good, tasty Value: **** Menu: **** good variety Ambiance: **** new, clean & roomy Service: **** Parking: ***** Free, 2nd floor RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Ireh Chicken = A.

Went on a Tuesday night around 630. Not too busy but started picking up right after we sat. Fair amount of seating, only inside the store. Food wise: only side of kimchee and onions given compared to other Korean restaurants. Food came rather quickly. +++ cheese tteok-bokki and chive seafood pancake. Definitely a place to share your food with your table. We parked on the street because it wasn’t very obvious where we were able to park for this restaurant so you may want to call and ask for parking locations prior to coming.

Short story: 10/10 recommend! Great service and delicious food! Long story: Service: Greeted with smiles as soon as we walked in. They gave us cold water, checked on us frequently, and were so polite and kind. They immediately got us another bottle of cold water when we ran out of the first one. Food: We got meat jun, sundubu/soft tofu soup, and tteokbokki. The meat jun was crispy and delicious, the soft tofu soup was comforting and also delicious, and the tteokbokki was our favorite! We got cheese tteokbokki and the sweet cheese mixed with the spicy sauce was our personal favorite. Their kimchi tasted fresh, light, and homemade. We ended our dinner with Yuzu tea - sweet, comforting, and a great way to settle the stomach. This ended up being my favorite Korean restaurant on O’ahu - definitely recommend! We had a great dinner and i’ll be back again :)

The food is good! Considering the price, it is a nice place to get good Korean food :) much better than some of the other Korean spots in town. Parking is convenient too. There is parking available in Azure. I would come here again. We got the fish egg bibimbap and the soy bean noodles. Both were nicely seasoned without an excess of flavoring. Excited to try other items the next time I come!
