Kuji Asian Grill

One of the tastiest places around! Ingredients are top notch and the aesthetic food presentation is mesmerizing.

Let me begin by thanking Kai and Suji (the owners) for only raising their prices by $1 or $2 since 2019 and continuing to make delicious, well-portioned food. With that said, Kuji looks like a simple, counter-service restaurant with ambiance to match, but the youthful husband and wife team in the kitchen churn out huge quantities of delicious food. To understand the menu, it helps to know that chefs are Korean but worked (and met) in Hawaii, so the food is Korean (e.g. kalbi, bulgogi, japchae) served Hawaiian plate lunch-style along with some Hawaiian classics (e.g. loco moco as a special, poke bowls) and a few Japanese-Hawaiian dishes (e.g. chicken katsu, spam musubi). I’ve eaten everything on the menu (literally), but for me the Korean dishes are the best, especially the spicy pork and bulgogi japchae plate lunches. The salads (tataki and pork belly) are also great - fresh, well-portioned, and well-dressed with tangy, flavorful salad dressings. The dolsot (stone pot) bibimbap is also very good, but I only order it during off-peak hours. When they are super busy, they don’t have enough turnaround time to let the stone pots get screaming hot, so you don’t get the crispy rice bottom. But if you don’t care about that then it’s worth trying because it's yum. Speaking of peak hours (esp. lunch time), they do a lot of take out orders so your food may take some time to come out…but then again, they don’t claim to be fast food, just good food...although they are still pretty fast during off-peak hours.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kuji is hands down one of the best spots around! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared! I especially love the Tataki salad, which is incredible. On top of the amazing food, the service is absolutely outstanding. I had a little mix-up with an order and the staff went above and beyond to make it right, showing so much kindness and generosity. It really speaks to the heart and care they put into their restaurant. Great food + genuinely wonderful people = a place I’ll keep coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!

We were told about a great restaurant we had to try in Woodland, so we ventured out to taste for ourselves. We were greeted warmly when we arrived. The menu is small but customizable. I had the salmon, my husband had the chicken katsu, and our son ordered the bibimbap. Our meal was wonderful, everything was fresh, beautifully plated and served hot. We will be returning soon.

Yummy food. Bibimbap was very tasty. Japchae was good also. Definitely worth stopping in.

The food was excellent. The service was good. Its like a little strip mall kind of a joint. Could easily be in a much nicer restaraunt space for more adequate ambiance. The pricing was good. The Tataki salad was perfect. The food deserves a more equal environment for an improved experience...
