Hai Woon Dai

I love this place. The Korean barbecue is off the hook delicious !!Great service and ice cold beer My 10 year old daughter sure got a kick outa watching the 5 different delicious meats fry on the table center grill All 1st class here. Love the Bulgogi and Spicy Pork the most ....sides are great too

Visited October 12, 2024.We were warmly greeted as we entered, and upon being seated, I noticed the updated menus and the announcement of extended weekend hours from 9 PM to 10 PM. We had two servers: a kind young gentleman who also doubled as food runner and a female server who was less attentive. Although she didn't acknowledge our thanks, she did check on us periodically, so it wasn't a major issue.Our table ordered four entrées, and each one was delicious! My only complaint was that the egg in the Dolsot Bibimbab was overcooked. I corrected this by simply taking it out and added another in from my soontofu soup. Aside from that, the presentation and flavor of all four dishes were delicious. The Galbi was the star tonight--savory, sweet, warm, and tender--definitely a 10/10! My daughter loved it.This hidden gem has been around for over a decade, located in Antioch off I-24 at Haywood Lane, exit 57. I've consistently enjoyed my meals here, but today felt almost like a five-star experience. I can't wait to return! There's also a shared free parking lot and gender-segregated restrooms for anyone wondering.

Don't let the modest exterior fool you, this place serves up the best Korean food in Nashville! They have an extensive menu of all the classics (bibimbap, soft tofu soup, barbecued meats like bulgogi and Galbi, stews for 2, Korean pancakes, you name it). Big portions and authentic taste. Their Banchan is also solid - love their potatoes. Comfy seating with booths and tables, and a back room for overflow seating. Food can sometimes be a little slow to come out if they're busy but it's worth it!

Got: Bulnak Jonga- bbq beef and octopus stew ($42), kimchi pancake ($19)Price: 7/10, on par with most Korean places. Not divey or cheap. Fair standard price.Value: 7/10 good portions. More value if there are 3-5 people in the group to eat family style. Sharing is caring :)Went with a coworker on a Friday night. The ambiance is casual but well put together. The tables around the perimeter of the room have kbbq griddles while the tables in the interior do not. Bulnak is a combination of the words "bulgogi"- BBQ beef and "nakji" = octopus. The jongal stew was flavorful with a slight sweetness. Seafoody, savory, and spicy. There was plenty of udon and beef. It was slightly lacking in octopus and the veggies - more would have been welcomed. The crown daisy veggie, for those who aren't familiar, is the leafy part of the chrysanthemum plant. It's slightly herbally with licorice notes. Banchan was options were meh. Macaroni salad, sweetened braised potatoes, etc are not my favorite options but I'm assuming they rotate based upon ingredient variability. The kimchi pancake was the best I've had. Crispy, craggly, slightly soft on the inside, crunchy veggies without an overwhelming kimchi taste. Scallions, zucchini, and kimchi laced the inside of the pancake, providing a structure for the batter to cling to. The batter was super crispy on the outside. Almost tasted like it was deep-fried. The pancake itself was red but didn't have a strong sour or fermented taste.The friendly waiter took our Polaroid picture and placed it on the wall. Attentive service and great food. Overall, would come back again with MORE people to try more options. Would get the jongal and pancake again but would add some bibimbap and KBBQ meat!

Very good korean bbq restaurant where you are able to grill your own proteins. The korean bbq is seasoned well. I like it here, one of my favorite korean bbq restaurants in the aera. They give a lot of pickled sides. My wife and kid enjoys their side dishes. The service is good. It gets busy and the temperature of the restaurant can get a little humid due to all the grills on.

Kun-mandu - pretty good. I would get this again.Jajangmyeon - my kid tore this up. My husband and I both REALLY liked it too. Shumai - I really liked, my husband thought it was too simple. Galbi - my husband thought it was just average, but our friend loved it. Probably would try something else next time.This is definitely one of the better Korean barbecue places in town. The server was nice. I would try the Korean barbecue here as well next that's too

Service was great. We all loved the food we ordered. The seafood pancake definitely needs the sauce that it comes with. I would've wanted more of the sauce given the size of the pancake. Shrimp tempura udon soup that my daughter ordered was amazing! The broth was delicious. And it's a huge portion! We went on a Saturday night right when they opened. Glad we did.

The food was delicious. We ordered the spicy pork and the bulgogi. If I'm ever back in Nashville I will hit this place up again

Super solid Korean in a city that lacks it in general. Very friendly staff and nice bowl of yukaejang (spicy beef soup). Wanted to try a Korean homestyle staple on my first visit. Probably a tiny bit overpriced but that's how things are here. I'll definitely be back though!

If you ever come to Nashville or live in the area and want a variety of Korean food come to Hai Woon Dae!!!
