Reviews
Located in Aikahi by the Safeway, Willow Tree is the perfect hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant. Lots of seating, friendly staff. We all opted for the lunch special which is available from 11-4 daily. Lots of options to choose from but I opted for these 3: - Mandoo, Meat Jun and Spicy Katsu This also came with side kimchee, rice and soup (not pictured!). This was delicious, especially after a long round of golf. Cheers to Willow Tree Korean Restaurant! Will be back if we are on that side of the island!
Stopped by for my lunch today and it turned out great. The restaurant was quite busy considering that I came at the off hours. The workers were very efficient and polite. The food and the atmosphere were great.
Great service and delicious food. Willow Tree has some of the best Korean food on the island. I love the meat jun. Flavorful and moist and very generous serving. The kimchi is also excellent. The place gets pack especially during the lunch hour rush, but it's defeated worth it!
Consistent great meat jun and Shrimp Tempura, Kahlbi is hit or miss. Its great when its marinated but sometimes the flavor is mild and not as marinated well. ,
Love, love, love Willow tree! We eat here at least once a week! Great and personal service, definitely would recommend this place to anyone for a good place to eat!
