O-Bok Restaurant is a little mom and pop Korean restaurant located in the heart of Manoa. I’ve been here a few times and have received mixed service. My very first visit was terrible and I got bad treatment from the old man who runs the front. The past few times I have gone, I have received good service from him so I can’t complain. As I was looking for the yelp link for this post, I couldn’t help but notice all the recent one star reviews for the restaurant. It makes me feel sad if what the posts are saying is true. I honestly thought the old man was the owner of the restaurant but judging from some reviews, I guess he just works there. A fair warning for everyone who goes to this restaurant – he’s not the friendliest guy but I think he’s a good guy. He brought us our drinks right away, we got the right amount of banchan and the food came quickly. Let me share some pictures!
Delicious banchan!
