O-Bok korean Restaurant

O-Bok is the only authentic Korean Restaurant that I know of in Manoa. The seaweed soup and banchan (side dishes) that accompany each course are great. I especially like their kimchi. I enjoy the relaxed, quiet, and nostalgic atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff, who I presume are owners, are also very nice. I always feel welcomed at this restaurant. I also feel like the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food there.

So far, I’ve had the bibimguksul and the combination plate. Both plates were great. The bibimguksul was a little spicy for me however, yet very good. I should also mention that their mandoo is terrific. I like O-Bok enough to throw it into my regular lunch rotation. At the time of this writing, they are closed on Mondays.

The food was good that I have had a craving to return and eat there again soon.

I really enjoyed the food. We got a combo (combo D I think) and shared it between two people. Although the portion was a bit smaller than expected, it was quite good. I also really liked the side dishes which are pictured below. The cucumber one was so good! The food did take quite a bit to be served (it was 1pm), but there was only 1 person at the front.

Update: So sad... It's under new ownership... Lots of changes...

Old review:

I'm so amazed this restaurant has been in the exact same location offering the same food for over 30 years! I grew up coming to this restaurant with friends & family as a weekly get together... ???? Comfort food for sure! Kudos for consistency! Even the decor/wall paper is still the same! I Love it! ❤ Whenever I visit Oahu I try to make it in.

The spicy sauce on the table is a perennial favorite! ????. Vegetarian friendly!
