It’s an infrequent occurrence to discover a restaurant that offers a sumptuous array of food. It’s even better when it provides an experience that won’t break the bank with all-you-can-eat options. McCully Buffet in Honolulu has all its bases covered with a menu that invitingly beckons customers with the best cuisine from the cultures of Japan and Korea.
Everything from Korean barbecue to sushi and more are combined to create a mouthwatering meal for guests. Owner Sam Seo says he’s proud to give patrons top-notch selections at an affordable cost.
Poke, edamame and mussels
“Always sashimi, sushi and kalbi are the most popular items. At our buffet, we serve the best quality food, like 100 percent fresh high-end Hawaiian tuna (ahi) and No. 1 grade kalbi,” he shares.

It also has takeout items like fresh sashimi, poke and sushi bowls, along with a variety of bentos.
“We’re always welcome for your visit,” Seo notes.

Seo also operates and owns Ahi & Vegetable and goes right to the fish auctions to purchase directly. It provides him the opportunity to buy in bulk and bring the savings to restaurant patrons.
“Customers can also find the famous Ahi & Vegetable bestsellers at McCully Buffet,” Seo shares. “We’re the one place to enjoy fresh sashimi, sushi and yakiniku (barbecue).”
“My first business in Hawaii was a barbecue restaurant and I’ve being doing the fish business, especially tuna, for more than 20 years. I’ve always had a dream to make a place to enjoy fresh fish and barbecue, and I want to serve high-quality fish and meat with reasonable prices,” Seo concludes.
