HANGANG

Haven't been in a while but we are back in town and hit this place up for an early lunch. Parked with ease in the back 'tho I understand that there is valet only parking in the evening, which is too bad. We have had mul nangmyon at YuChun and Seoul Garden and this place is my favorite, although my complaint on the skimpy amount of noodles was evident again. My husband's pibim nangmyeon, without the broth and with spicy sauce, easily had double the noodles of mine. Got the Kalbi combo at lunch and the meat was juicy and tasty, could have used a touch more soy or salt in the marinade as I had to doctor mine up with a dash of salt that I always carry in my purse.Servers were attentive and pleasant, unlike the YuChun gals who have earned their reputation as tip chasers bordering on mean girls. Although they are slightly expensive, the relaxed atmosphere and the professional service is worth it. And the food is always good except the potato salad was so dry that we couldn't even eat the tiny spoonful they gave us.Will be back again next week.

Wanting Korean food on this chilly Sunday evening.Little did I know that choosing this place would change my view on Korean BBQ. Join the waitlist, it'll save you time to assure you get seated when busy and they were busy! We waited about 10 minutes, no problem. Once inside it was cozy and tastefully done. Seated given water and menus and was told any questions or ready to order press the button on the table and someone will be right over. I loved that! No need to wave anyone down! Menu was filled with all the things we love. They also had a few prefixed menu items. We opted for the Prime Beef 9 course meal for $70 per person. Yes, $70.00 but, it's worth it! You get 10 different types of Banchan. A salad, Kim Chee pancake, noodle dish hot or cold or a tofu soup, miso based soup or Kim Chee soup. You also get steamed egg! Best of all was the cuts of beef. There were 4 different types of meats and included was Waygu. The beef alone was outstanding. Every cut was moist and flavorful not to mention TENDER! I was in beef heaven! lol. They have meat cutters trimming the meat in a visible area. That shows the great care the placed in their cuts of meat. Awesome! They serve many types of alcohol from Soju to Terra beer. At the end of the meal they a skewered pineapple.The service was top notch. Efficient and attentive plus you have that button to assist in getting someone. They set it up for you and cook you meats for you too if you want. If your grill was empty here they come to cook you more! This place reminded me of Korea. This elevated BBQ is my new favorite.Splurge and try them out you won't be disappointed!

We recently ordered takeout from Hangang and tried the Spicy Pork ($29.99), Kimchi Stew ($23.95), and Meat Jun ($25.95). It's on the pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for. The ingredients were fresh and the plates were packed with meat! Banchan is complimentary and perfectly seasoned if veggies are your thing. I loved the flavor of the kimchi. It was extra crispy!The Spicy Pork had a rich, smoky flavor, and the meat was high quality. However, I'm not a fan of fatty pork, so it wasn't for me--but my boyfriend very much enjoyed it! The Kimchi Stew was the perfect comfort food, but it was on the sour side. The Meat Jun was good, but the flavor was a bit mild for our taste. Each of our plates came with a heaping scoop of perfectly cooked white rice. I'd be willing to give it another shot because the service was excellent and the vibe feels so cozy. The good Next time, we're definitely dining in for the full experience.

Fellow Yelper reviews helped solidify this venue for our family's New Year's Lunch and everyone loved it!My brother, son, and I love Korean food, but I also prefer my spice on the milder side. My parents were nervous as they can't eat spicy food, but we reassured them there was a good variety to choose from and they would be happily satisfied. Walking in, it was filled with local and visiting families of the same nationality, sprinkled in with a few visitors to Hawai'i.We would not have gotten a table without reservations, and there are a few seats inside and outside for walk ins and take outs to wait. I used Yelp to make the res!!!Throughout the meal, (our apologies to fellow guests who were clearly regulars), we ogled in awe at the array of meats being brought to the tables who opted to grill! (I hope my picture of the fridge and chef helps show the quality and care that goes into your meal!). (There's also a mural explaining the cuts of meat en route to the back door parking lot entrance and the restroom.)The lunch menu had many options, and you could opt for additional dishes a la carte. The array of banchan was colorful, with veggies galore, with tastes ranging from super spicy to absolutely mild.The boys opted for those big rice bowls and my brother added tons of extra spice! My parents and I opted for the chicken and kalbi lunches, which were beautifully presented and tasty! We were stuffed and I actually had leftovers for another meal (so yes, I did take out the leftover banchan).Loved their service, loved their food, and there was no lingering smoke from all the other tables who opted to grill! Tables are somewhat close to each other to fit more guests, and there are nice "dividers" between tables that are adjacent to others. The restroom was clean and so well appointed, there's even a bench to place your bags (better than using a short hook, or worse, the floor).I can't wait until I have a chance to return to grill for dinner!

My last review for 2024.If you want high/good quality Korean bbq place, this is the place for you. I saw their joint list on Yelp so I wasn't sure if they took reservation but yes they do. This place isn't too big so I would call for a reservation. Although they're closed between 4 to 5pm, they do answer calls.This is not your typical Korean restaurant served by ladies. They serve lot of different items from bbq meats, stews, and variety of sides dishes. Their complimentary side dishes stood out like an art. Well made and perfect tasting. It took us while to decide what we wanted. I always wonder what other people order. They were pretty busy so it took sometime for us to get our food.My favorite was the marinated, big bone Kalbi that's hard to find even at Korean restaurant.

I had a wonderful dining experience here. The staff were shy and reserved, but incredibly kind and attentive, even during a busy rush. They ensured our needs were met promptly, and their warm demeanor added to the experience. Shout out to the young man who serviced our table--he was so patient and understanding, which really stood out!The ambiance was clean and sleek, with black walls that gave the restaurant an elegant and modern feel. It was a nice touch that enhanced the dining experience. I also noticed the staff wore uniforms with a Korea badge on the side--a very traditional and unique detail that I thought was really cool.As for the food, it was delicious! The kalbi was rich and flavorful with a marbled texture. However, the edges were quite fatty, which overwhelmed my palate a bit. For the price, I would have liked the excess fat trimmed, but the kimchi stew came to the rescue! Its acidity perfectly balanced the heaviness of the kalbi.The fish was another highlight--perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. It added a lighter, flavorful complement to the overall meal.This was such a satisfying meal, and I'm already looking forward to coming back for more. Highly recommend this spot for great food, elegant ambiance, and warm service!

We keep driving by this place and it looks so elegant we really wanted to try it. Finally someone suggested Hangang for a friend dinner. Made an early reservation and got a covered parking space in back of the restaurant, woo hoo!We ordered family style and since the portions were rather large it was a good idea. Ordered bibimbap, galbi, steamed egg, zucchini jun, and galbijjin. Also we split a bottle of Jeju soju. It was a little hard to get the attention of a server as it was very busy and the floor was a bit sticky so I didn't want to put my purse down, but the food was very good. I'll be back with my family.

한식 먹고 싶을 때마다 한강 찾게 되네요. 음식도 다 맛있고 직원 분들도 너무 친절하시고 기분 좋게 먹고 가요!음식도 빨리 나오고 부스 자리에 앉았는데 너무 편안하게 먹고 갈수 있었습니다.

It was amazing. The service was great, food was so good. The meats are fresh, have tons of side dishes. Also, everyone should try the green onion seafood pancake. It's so good
