I've been going here for a bit over 6 years now, the owners are extremely friendly and kind. I've always had a positive experience here. Lovely well kept store with some seating inside and outside. I've had quite a few of their plates and everything is well cooked and flavorful. They aren't shy about food portions either! So, you get plenty of food and sides. Overall one of the best Korean BBQ places on the island hands down. Very warm and welcoming every time I'm here. Highly recommend it for your Korean BBQ needs and cravings!

So sad, this restaurant closed down last week. They were the best Korean restaurant in our area. I hope the owners are okay.

I love Korean food and Yoon Cy is pretty good. Their hours aren't very convenient and it's hard to know when they'll be open or closed, but the food is good so I always crave it. I have been calling in our orders because the line can get pretty long and there is only one guy working in the front usually. Their Bibim Kook Soo, bbq chicken, and bbq beef are good and so is their meat jun. Veggies are okay. Hit or miss and sometimes can be way too salty, but there aren't many choices in this area so this is one of my go to Korean places to eat. It is take out only as there are only tables outside the building which anyone can use.

Food is very delicious there my favorite is the Bbq beef plate.meet is so tender that melts in your mouth and the fresh vegetables which you can pick 4 types of.

Food so good especially the sides they serve. Yummy...Korean BBQ. My go to is MeatJun and my go to side are Garlic potato, Choysum, Chapchae, and Kimchee cucumber.

Decided to order take out for dinner tonight and everyone in my family agreed to Korean . Yoon Cy BBQ it is located in the same shopping center as Safeway Kapahuluu. I ordered their cold noodles Kook soo it was ok comes with Teri beef, Bean sprouts, Choi sum , cabbage with and noodles on the bottom . My wife had their Kalbi plate good taste but lots of fat than beef . Comes with 3 sides of banchan for their regular plate . Service was fast and friendly support local

Amazing bbq mix plates and loved the sides! The sweet potato and kimchi is my jam every time I come here. The service is always fast and the cashiers are always so sweet. Love this place for togo plates!

Lot of solid take out Korean BBQ restaurant choices that feature almost identical menu items, the difference maker to me is the quality of their banchan and YoonCy has some of the best. The Great: Food is solid, generous portions, but love the Banchan here. Our favorites are the Mumallaengi Muchim or dried daikon strips and their cucumber kimchi. I love a well marinated cucumber kimchi and am often disappointed when other places do a quick marinade that does not soak into the cucumber. Yooncy does it right and their other sides are great. If you forgo your rice you get an extra portion of banchan as well. The Good: Main dishes are solid, Kalbi, Meat Jun, Fried mandoo never disappoints and they are generous with their portions as well. Decent prices, in line with other Korean takeout places. I haven't tried their soups yet but will try when the weather gets colder. The Okay: Parking can hit or miss in the Safeway lot, drive around a bit as something will usually open up in 10 minutes or so but you can also find lots of parking spaces on the upper deck over Safeway. Overall: YoonCy may be a little further away from our home but to me the banchan makes the extra time well worth it!

I wanted something different from my normal rotation of restaurants that was close by for dinner so I chose YoonCy BBQ. My sister likes them a lot so I figured it was time to check them out. They are located in the same complex as Safeway on Kapahulu. The restaurant is primarily take out but they do have a table with a couple chairs right outside if you want to dine there. You also have the tables right outside of Safeway that you can use as well. They offer a bunch of items so I had a hard time deciding. I ended up going with a combo plate with Meat Jun and Chicken Katsu. Normally I don't get Chicken Katsu but I figured it would pair best with this chili oil I've been wanting to try at home. They offer a bunch of sides and they all look tasty. My order came with 4 sides so I chose bean sprouts, choy sum, potatoes and cabbage. The kitchen didn't take too long to get my order out. It was heavy when they handed my order over to me. That's always a plus! Aside from friendly customer service, the food here is pretty good! The Chicken Katsu wasn't over cooked and the Meat Jun was fried nicely. It was a nice surprise to get a piece of mandu with the order. They provided 3 sauces with the order (1 was Shoyu, 1 was a chili and vinegar type of sauce and the last was the kastu sauce). I ended up mainly using the chili oil I have at home. The plate was massive and I just barely finished it. It's good value for the amount of food they provide. I'll definitely have to come back to try their Kalbi one day.
