Recently opened in Honolulu’s bustling Ward Village, ONKEE Korean Grill House is poised to become a beacon for food enthusiasts seeking genuine Korean barbecue, hearty stews, comforting soups, and soul-satisfying noodle dishes. Taking its name from the Korean word meaning “the warmth of food from the stove, fueled by the fire from the hearth,” ONKEE aims to create lasting memories through authentic Korean flavors and aromas. Executive chef Jwi Ho Jang and Sous chef Won-Deuk So, both boasting Michelin-caliber expertise, have crafted a menu that honors Korea’s rich culinary heritage. From traditional yukhoe to premium grilled meats, including Miyazaki wagyu and USDA Prime cuts, ONKEE’s offerings promise to tantalize even the most discerning palates. Through its cuisine, ONKEE seeks to convey the heartfelt warmth of the buttumag, or kitchen. “The buttumag conjures up so many tender memories for me and my family,” shares Skye Kim, founder and CEO of SG Hospitality. “The warmth symbolizes my mother’s heart that lovingly nurtured us as we grew up, praying for our well-being. We want our patrons to feel that love, even taste it in our authentic, home-style cuisine, crafted with passion and care.”
