"This place is so delicious. A cute little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that’s always busy. Very generous portions, and obviously made fresh. You might have to wait a bit, but it’s fully worth it, and they do take phone-in orders. It’s currently takeout only, but the food is so hot when it comes out, you have time to get to wherever you’re going. The smiley’s chicken with garlic and chili sauce is a must-try. The chicken long rice, kalbi ribs, and their mac salad are also all very delicious."

Best plate lunch on the island for low cost! This was our first stop after getting off the airplane and our last dinner before leaving. Plenty of variety. The wait wasn’t super long when we went, but I would recommend calling ahead on your way over to make it the best experience for you.

This local place was recommended by our rental car company. There’s no inside seating but the food was amazing. We ate in our car and the plate lunches were excellent. Teriyaki chicken and a garlic chili chicken were the two plates we bought. We wish they would provide more macaroni salad, but it was excellent food! Definitely where the locals eat.
