You guys gotta check this place out….service was top notch. When I first went in I ordered plate lunches and then the owner hands me a water cup with ice…so thoughtful!! Not many places do that anymore. The place gave a generous portion of food. Good for the money!! Great place to go to.

I stopped by Best Drive-In recently, and it absolutely lived up to the hype.
The Meat Jun was especially good — tender and perfectly seasoned, just the way it should be.
I also highly recommend trying one of their special menu items. The portions are huge, and the food is full of flavor, making it well worth the price.
If you’re looking for a solid local spot with generous portions and consistently good food, Best Drive-In is definitely a place I’d recommend and would happily visit again.

Came here for lunch for the first time; we got a couple different plates to try out. Food was pretty good, kalbi and meat jun was definitely my fave. Seasoned well and cooked well. Fish jun was a bit lacking in taste though. Not a huge fan of their cucumber and radish kimchee (seems super “watered” down, even for local tastes), but really liked their bean sprouts and broccoli side dishes. Staff were really nice and friendly, would eat here again.

I come here regularly and always feel like I get moneys worth and more. I was alittle intimidated when I first came down, I very quickly realized that they were very nice, and even though at first I thought it would be difficult because of language barriers, but they understood perfectly my first time and made me feel right about walking in. I’ll regularly interchange between these 3 (depending on how im feeling lol) the spicy pork, the kalbi, or the special if Im really hungry haha. I’d have to say the one i get the most is spicy pork, hits all the notes, spicy, savory, and tiny bit sweet, its my favorite!

I have been going to this restaurant since 2012. It was under a previous owner, who recently retired I don’t know who took over, but there is not all women in there now can you get into them, however, since the retirement of my old friend The restaurant to me is no longer the same Portion amounts, and quality of the food freshness. being served Timely Is out of the question. When the previous owner used to work there, he would smile yelp him across the restaurant. Good morning. Good afternoon. Have a nice to see you. He also remembered you by name. Now you walk in there it’s what you like. How much you like OK go away. I brought my wife and my son in there as we normally do on a monthly basis or even sometimes more often and we walk in there. Nobody talk no longer have any Christian music playing. No smiles no hellos just hurry up order and get out that’s the attitude we get. It is pretty sad because I love this restaurant and so does my autistic son and the rest of my family as a result of my recent patronage to this restaurant less than a week ago, I will not be going back to that restaurant ever again I’m sure my friend will see my picture here on the review and he might get upset, but I just want him to understand how he ran things before is no longer the same and I get it when businesses change hands things change I’m not Ignorant to that fact, however, portions are not even worth it. Food is not even cooked all the way through. We stood there ordered our food and watched 30 other people get served their lunch and food on takeout while we stood there for almost an hour quietly trying to be respectful because that is my friend‘s restaurant I am deeply sad and upset that I won’t be going there anymore and for the sake of that restaurant I hope my friend does see this review so he can go there and actually see what’s going on or that restaurant is going to fail. That was $150 wasted.

This restaurant truly excels when it comes to GALBI and MEAT JUN.
The GALBI is incredibly tender, rich in flavor, and perfectly seasoned, making every bite deeply satisfying.
The MEAT JUN is just as impressive—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of savory goodness.
You can really tell that high-quality ingredients and careful preparation go into every dish.
If you’re looking for a place that does GALBI and MEAT JUNexceptionally well, this is an absolute must-visit.

Incredible food with big portions at a good price.
This place has a nice varied menu of lunch plates. I tried their meat jun, hoping it would rival some of the other tasty meat jun spots on the island and it definitely trumps them all! The option for multiple side dishes with your entree makes this place a great with a lot of options to try out.
The staff who owns the place is also extremely friendly and welcoming! Definitely come give them a visit!

My favorite lunch plate restaurant just got even better! The food is extremely delicious (the meat jun and bbq chicken are SO ONO), the prices are affordable, and the new service staff are THE BEST! Ellisha is the sweetest lady and always happy to help with a smile. Love this place so much!! 🙂
