Sadie's Bbq Inn - Pearl City

Food is authentic Korean and the service is very good. The ambiance is diner type atmosphere. Parking is plentiful. If you use a credit card there is a 3% additional charge. See pictures and you be the judge. We love it.

The kalbi, Korean pancake (forgot the name), beef seaweed soup, miso butterfish, and fish jun are delicious. I'm sure other dishes we haven't tried are just as good. Their customer service is great.

If I could, I would give no stars. I stopped going to Sadie's for a looooong time because I found hair in my soup and the owner gave me a difficult time. She asked me to bring the food back to the restaurant which I did only to argue saying that the hair can't be from her staff as they wear hair nets. BTW. I drove from Mililani back to Pearl City. After many years, I returned as I was craving korean food but did not want to go to town. This time, my husband finds a hard plastic piece in his garlic spicy chicken. The owner says we don't have any plastic in the kitchen and asked us to drive from Mililani to Pearl City. She doesn't want to trust her customer and tries to make like we are trying to get free food and/or discount which is not the case. We don't need it. Please see attached picture.

My go-to Korean restaurant in Pearl City. But their menu has more to offer with some local favorites and morning okazuya.

Sadie's was recommended to us by my sister-in-law, who is Korean and makes some of the best meat jun you'll ever taste. When she told me she loved this place, because it taste like her own, she wasn't lying! We arrived before the afternoon closing and were greeted with friendly smiles from everybody! The service was absolutely impeccable. It's very modest restaurant ambiance wise but very welcoming. I'm going to say that in the 50 years I've lived in Hawaii, where I was first introduced to Korean barbecue, Sadie's made the best kalbi, reminiscent to a place I frequented in Maui called Azteca back in the 80s. It was absolutely tender, marinated to perfection and simply delicious! Their banchan was fresh; both kimchi's were delicious. The cucumber kimchi was my favorite, but everything was very fresh and nicely chilled. We ordered zucchini jun which could have been cooked a bit more but was tasty. We split a plate because we were headed to my husband's family reunion and they were serving Hawaiian Cuisine, which isn't my favorite. Sadie's SATISFIED in every corner of my mouth. We'll be back.
