While at Waikiki Resort Hotel, stop by Seoul Jung for its authentic Korean cuisine, including japchae, mandoo, kalbi (or galbi), yakiniku, bibimbap, seafood pancake, cold buckwheat noodle soup, soft tofu soup and so much more.

Among the house favorites is Sundubu Jjigae ($16.95), featuring a savory broth made with gochujang, or Korean chili paste (it’s not too spicy, but you can always request to adjust the spiciness to your liking), blended with seasonal vegetables and seafood, such as clams, shrimp and squid, and silky, extra-soft tofu.

Consider Waikiki Resort Hotel for your next shindig, and allow the staff to help you create an event that you’ll never forget.
