Had a great time here. Stopped by for lunch which is VERY cheap. Unfortunately I didn't have that lunch coupon I see in some peoples pictures for 15% off but it's still very affordable without! The decor is basic but it's very clean which is a great thing for a restaurant. They have a good section of meats from seasoned chicken, spicy pork, pork belly, kalbi, brisket. They also have assorted veggies and kimchee! Pro tip: there's also 2 soups on the far left. I didn't notice it at first. Only after I went to get something else!

Havent been here in years and now under new management. Was debating 3 stars but 4 due to friendly staff, open parking and didnt need to wait on a Sunday for lunch. Grab your own meats and sides at the bar instead of having to order and wait like the other places. Food wise, kalbi was little tough and most meats were not seasoned and the seasoned ones were lacking flavor. But up at the station there is a sauce/seasoning bar from seasoned shoyu, chili garlic to garlic salt etc where you add what you want and dip if you choose to. Already cooked items available were some deep fried sushi, garlic chicken (was tasty), fried mandoo (Tip...throw it on your grill to heat it and crisp it up!) We went for lunch and choices were average. Almost double for dinner (rib eye, seafood, veggies). Special price when we went was worth it (12.99) imo. If more deals like that are available we'd come again.

This is a little place, not fancy but clean and a good variety of food that's tasty. AND you can cook at your table! Each table has a cooker (see pics) so you go get your appetizers, salads, soup and meat then cook the meat at the table while you visit and eat. Really fun. Again- not fancy. Think of like a teriyaki place on the mainland, it's like that. But very nice staff and we found it quite clean and we loved that the buffet was well-stocked.

I'm a big fan of yakiniku, and the grand opening's prices can't be beat! My mom took my grandma here for the $12.79 lunch - what a deal for all you can eat of yummy meats, veggies, and tasty chop chae (long rice, my sister added more of the salt/sesame oil sauce to make it extra heavy on the sesame flavor)! We went for dinner, and at less than $22/person, it's still a great deal (we kept saying, where can you get a meal like this for $22?!). Our favorite dishes included: - thin pork belly, grilled till crispy - kalbi, very flavorful - brisket, my grandma couldn't get over how thin they slice it, so it cooks quickly and is very tender! - chop chee, goes great with all the rich meats - garlic - I can't get enough of grilled garlic, even though I sacrifice by being smelly the next day! - kim chee soup - I put some over my rice and it was really tasty with the grilled meats! - kim chee and seafood pancake, grilled to get even crispier! super tasty! - soft serve vanilla ice cream, with pineapples, jello, and red bean mochi - sushi! I loved the california roll with topped with avocado and unagi sauce, cooked shrimp, and egg; my mom really enjoyed her ika. Really appreciate that they offer both good quality sushi and korean grilled meats, as I don't think other buffets offer these two options for such a low price! They don't have the fans that remove the smoke, so it's probably one of the smokiest yakiniku places I've been to lately. You definitely will want to go home to shower after a meal here. But the yummy food and low cost make it so worth visiting! Hope it continues to do well under the new management/owner!

As a food reviewer, I had the pleasure of dining at the popular Camellia Buffet in Honolulu. This buffet-style restaurant offers a wide range of delicious options, including Yakiniku Beef Brisket, Pork Belly, Spicy Pork, B.B.Q. Chicken, and more.

Located at 930 McCully St, Camellia Buffet is not your average buffet. This place takes reservations, offers takeout and delivery, and has many vegetarian options. You can also enjoy a casual dining experience with moderate noise levels, making it perfect for groups and families.

I was highly impressed by the quality of the dishes at Camellia Buffet. The Yakiniku Beef Brisket was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the Pork Belly was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The side dishes like Orange Chicken and Chow Mein were also standout items.

Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience at Camellia Buffet. The variety of dishes, excellent service, and cozy ambiance make it a must-visit spot for anyone craving a satisfying Korean BBQ buffet. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
