“Course A is perfect when you want to try an assortment of meats. I’ve seen people eat five to six plates,” says Jandy Lee, the general manager who is also the daughter of chef and owner Jae Kun Lee.
Course B ($29.95 per person) is another favorite, consisting of Beef Brisket, Pork Belly, Spicy Pork, Bulgogi and Barbecue Chicken.
The spacious interior is the perfect atmosphere in which to dine on Korean favorites.
Both courses come with kimchee stew, lettuce salad, rice and banchan.
As for the Korean side dishes, “You get about five to six banchan, which my mom makes fresh everyday,” Lee explains. Kimchee, broccoli, sprouts and fish cake are among the banchan options.
New Shilawon opened in 2014 after being renamed from the previous Shillawon Korean Restaurant. Shillawon was open for 10 years prior to Chef Lee taking over the operation. He moved to Hawaii from Korea 30 years ago, and shares those authentic Korean flavors at the eatery.
