Maui World Travelers
Come to find out, Pearl’s is owned by Peter Kim, who also owns the Yummy Korean BBQ chain. Not sure why the name changed years ago at this location as the Yummy name still exists on Oahu. Oh well, as long as the food is still the same! He also owns Liliha Bakery and Lahaina Chicken Company.
While Pearl’s serves some everyday local dishes that are widely available elsewhere such as hamburger steak and chicken katsu, I choose to come here due to their delicious banchan (side dishes) selections. Why settle for just a scoop mac salad at L&L when you can get 3 more choices here? And the portions are almost twice as big. Hell yeah!
ATMOSPHERE:
Located in the QKC food court, seating is indoor/outdoor communal.
MY FAVORITES:
BBQ Pork
The insanely tender, marinated and lightly barbecued slices of boneless pork just melts in your mouth. The takeout tray is lined with steamed rice, then the grill-hot pork is laid out on top with all of its drippings soaking into the rice. Ahhhh! Then there’s the 4 banchans you add to the dish. My favorites are the macaroni salad, bean sprouts, and potato mayonnaise. Huge portion!
BBQ Chicken
This has gotten better over the years as it’s not as overcooked as before.
Chicken Katsu
Geezuz, this is probably the biggest plate lunch in the state! 2 to 3 huge pieces of breaded chicken were perfectly deep-fried and sat on a bed of rice with my usual 4 banchans surrounding it. I have a good appetite, but this turned out into 2 separate meals for me. That’s how I like it as I hate small portions! As for the katsu sauce, I always use the Kagome brand bottled sauce as NO ONE does katsu sauce like them. Pearl’s version is too tangy for me.
Hamburger Steak
This one sorta doesn’t belong under “my favorites” as my biggest complaint is that the onions that top the dish are raw. Yuck. I’m sure if I ask they can at least grill them a little. The rubbery patties I can deal with especially since I can get 4 choices of banchan, lol!
Fried Chicken
Compared to their other dishes, this one was pretty small in portion size with just 8 pieces of chicken wings (4 wingettes and 4 drummettes.) They’re not battered or floured yet were fried perfect and had a nice subtle & savory flavor.
SERVICE:
The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh, so there will be a wait. I always call in my order and it’s ready in 10 minutes.
TIP:
Half portion sizes and combos are available.
OVERALL:
A little pricey, big portions, delicious food, and that damn banchan bar is the best!

The food was really good. Katsu and fermented sides were especially tasty. A happy find in a dark, Bingo mall.

The place is located in the food court of the shopping mall. The quality of food and atmosphere is surprisingly enjoyable! Portions are large, each plate comes with a choice of 4 sides, and there a many different side to select from. Service is rather friendly.

One of the best hidden gems on maui. If looking for amazing korean meal, Pearls is unmatched. Don’t let the term fast food turn you away- there is no better fast food on Earth. The food is actually real food, quick, and authentic Korean. Every dish is amazing. AND YOU GET 4 SIDES! One $20 plate is at least 2 meals, even for a big hungry moke.

Friendly and knowledgeable employees. Great food and plenty of it. Nice variety of 4 sides with every plate . I reccomend the pasta and potatoes. Air condition dinning area or outside with a cool breeze. It’s my family’s favorite food court restaurant.

Delicious Korean food at the food court mall! I got the special combo with meat jun 고기전 and bbq chicken 치킨갈비. Also comes with kimchi and various vegetables.
Portions are massive and the taste is great.

The food is okay. It is the mall so you got that going for you right. Prices seem pretty high but I guess it’s normal in Hawaii and no different here.
If you want a authentic Korean BBQ this is not the place for it. This is fast convenient food with pretty good portions. My first choice is just usually Maui Tacos right down the way but that’s just as unreasonably expensive. Happy shopping at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center.

This place is delicious! The mandu (dumplings) are amazing! We ate here when we first got to Maui for vacation and my daughter kept asking to return. Everything was delicious!

Lovely authentic Korean fast food, I ordered meat jun and it’s good as always, they gave giant portion of meat jun, like giant portion I mean it, and it comes with three or four sides at your choice, tofu, seaweed, vermicelli,kimchi,mashed potato,red skin halfed potato and others I couldn’t remember, simply love their food, good value and yummy taste.

The food far surpassed my expectations. The restaurant is located on the second floor food court. There is plenty of seating and pretty much clean. The lunch special fed 2 with clearly enough food for another guest.
