    We love O’Kims because the food never disappoints. There is always something interesting and worth trying on the monthly menu; otherwise, I am happy to have the fried chicken. We love the excuse to come here to introduce friends and visiting family, especially to their outside seating area.

    Food and service is ALWAYS excellent and this visit for 10 people was also exceptional. All the entrees were delicious and we had favorite appetizers truffle mandoo and scallops with cream corn sauce. Accommodated our party size and even moved us indoors when we asked for that last minute change. Mahalo!

    For a Friday night it was quite quiet. The service was very attentive and the food tasty! Our faves of the night were the banchans, scallop soup and salmon entree. Can’t wait to go back and try more things! Atmosphere is casual and food is a little fancy. Sitting outside is fun. Will be back!

    My family of six had a fantastic time here! The service was friendly and the food was incredible. We are Korean and have eaten a lot of Korean food, but this was a delightful surprise. The subtle twists on and combinations of flavors of traditional Korean food amazed and delighted us. We were so full we were going to skip dessert until we heard the descriptions. So we had many of them and enjoyed them all, and the “corn” was the surprise winner. I am a new fan of black sesame and I am definitely going to recommend O’Kims to all my friends!
