It's in the Michael's/Ross plaza with plenty of parking. We ordered 6 dishes for 3 of us. We went in around 4:15 - non peak hours.

Great Atmosphere and Excellent Soft Tofu Stew…read more ​I visited Hansik for dinner on a recommendation from a colleague, and I'm glad I did! The restaurant is very accessible with plenty of parking around the building and a wheelchair-friendly entrance. ​Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The interior is lovely--very clean and has a great vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. ​The Meal ​I ordered the Oyster Soft Tofu Stew, which came with a side of rice, a fresh egg, and a variety of banchan (side dishes). ​The Stew: It had a nice spicy kick, but cracking the raw egg into the boiling pot mellowed the heat perfectly. It was delicious and paired wonderfully with the rice. ​The Banchan: While the variety was nice, I found most of the side dishes to be a bit too salty for my personal taste, so I didn't finish them all. ​To-Go: I also ordered a Seafood Scallion Pancake to take home, and the staff was happy to package it up for me. ​Overall, it was a very pleasant solo dining experience with great service. I'd definitely return for the stew!

The seafood scallion pancake was a cut above, lovely crisp edges. Galbi, Bi Bim Bap, and Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) were all worthy.

The ladies at the register are always so nice and will talk with you about the owners when it's slow. We have been a few times and take friends all the time. The kabi, fried rice, and fried chicken are top notch and if they have a special TRY IT. I will say if you're use to the super spicy Korean food, this is not that. Much of the spicy dishes do have a kick but lean more sweet, which is my preference. I will same the tteokbokki can scratch the itch when I have it, but I'm not big on the veggies they put in it, don't get me wrong it's my jam, just not sure on the cooked cabbage (I think) in it. Not going to lie, the restaurant is not really something one would call Instagram worth, but it is small, quiet and has enough tables for a few groups.

First time at this location. Service is good. We all had a good time with yummy Korean bbq.read more

Korean BBQ has 3 components when rating its quality: the side dishes (banchan), the sauces (e.g…read more ssamjang, marinades, etc), and the quality of meat. This place missed the mark on 2 out of the 3. The banchan lacked freshness. The kimchee was especially disappointing and was dry and lacked the umami it typically brings to the table. The radish wraps were dated, malodorous and were limp. All other side dishes were salty and some were inedible. The meat was what one would expect at an AYCE. Not great, but gets the job done. The kalbi that night did stand out and was the highlight of the meal. I ordered the pork jowls but they brought me pork belly. We also ordered the spicy pork but got marinated beef (bulgogi) instead. Not a quality issue but more of a service issue. My wife and I did not do well afterwards and had some GI upset: not from eating too much. This place also had some unorthodox rules. We had to order 4 different kinds of meat. We were only wanting 3 types but they required us to pick another and couldn't double up on the order. Overall, this experience was not worth the money. Won't be returning.

Boneless Yang-Yum Chicken (4.5/5): Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The coating held up nicely but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Still a solid choice if you like that sweeter style. Beef Bibimbap (5/5): The beef is tender and juicy, wow. Good flavor throughout and the veggies added a nice freshness to balance it out. Service: Not Rated Good. Ambiance: Not Rated Tables of four and two. Simple layout, nothing fancy but comfortable enough for a casual meal.

The pricing was nice, I'm a broke college student and everything here is average pricing. I got kimchi, just a small one, and the lady gave me extra rice with it just for no reason, she was so nice. However, that's not why I'm writing this good review. I'm so glad I got to try the kimchi, it's so amazing and whenever I'm craving a little snack I will come back and order some more kimchi.

We ordered Japchae, plain Korean fried chicken, yangnyeom (spicy) fried chicken, and Yukgaejang. We loved the Japchae and both fried chicken. Super crispy juicy and flavorful chickens. The noodles tasted like beef bulgogi in the best way. I was a bit disappointed in the yukgaejiang. That's my favorite soup and it was a bit sweet. I didn't expect the sweet. Plus the beef was sliced beef and not shredded beef. If we are in this area again, we will be back. But maybe skip the soup next time. Stick to the yummy chicken and japchae!

The gahn-jang steak was charred to perfection and you can taste the savory and sweetness of the ganjang. The corn cheese was also amazing; first one I had that's seasoned the cheese itself. The bulgogi was good too but very basic. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu!
