"Yummy
is among the chains that taught us about Korean food....When Islanders say
barbecue, they usually mean Korean-style barbeque: kal bi or barbecued
chicken. You can't go wrong with these at Yummy; they're always hot,
fragrant, juicy and flecked with delicious charred bits."

Yummy Korean BBQ is a fast food Korean restaurant with locations in
Hawaii and Japan. Floor plans and service designs are similar for
most restaurants, to minimize costs and to maximize efficient use of
space. Restaurant sizes range from 800 square feet for a food court
setting to 1,500 square feet for an in-line restaurant.
As the flagship line, Yummy Korean
BBQ has set the standard that other concepts in the restaurant group
follow. Gallons of marinade are prepared at one centralized kitchen,
while vegetables and meats are cut at another kitchen and are
delivered to Yummy restaurants each morning. Yummy knows its business
so well that only enough meats and vegetables are cut for a full day's
supply with limited overage. This eliminates extra costs and
guarantees quality and consistancy. Frozen pieces of barbecue beef,
chicken and kal bi are soaked overnight in the marinade and not an
hour longer to ensure the right texture so that meats are tender but
not mushy. Entrees are prepared on-site for freshness. Yummy uses
black cod, a white flesh, mild flavored fish, for its Fish Jun.
Specialties include Kalbi, Meat Jun and BBQ Chicken. Diners pick an
entree accompanied by your choice of vegetable side dishes and steamed
rice. Combination plates, mini plates, noodles and soups, and side
orders are also available.
