I've been to the H-Mart food court in Quincy twice and saw some pictures of Hanchon online and…read morewanted to try it myself. I haven't been blown away with the other options that I've tried there but after trying Hanchon it's definitely the best stall I've tried thus far. We went for dinner at around 6:15 on a Friday night and it was still relatively quiet in the food court, we were able to get our food within 10 minutes of ordering. We opted to share the tofu stew with pork belly and japchae. The stew came with white rice and three banchan (side dishes), it was definitely a substantial portion. The japchae had a lot of veggies, especially shittake mushrooms, and was also a generous size. Both dishes exceeded our expectations in terms of taste, definitely a step above the other options we tried. The stew was comforting but a bit fiery at the same time and the japchae was a good contrast to the spice. We saw a few tables with the bibimbap from Hanchon and it looked massive, we will definitely try that next time.

ROYAL HOT POT Everything at Royal Hot Pot tasted incredibly…read morefresh, and the whole experience felt thoughtful and fun. The sauce bar was impressive, with tons of bases, oils, herbs, and nut toppings to mix and match. We chose duo broths: the Wild Mixed Mushroom Broth and the Pork Buddy Mala Butter Broth at medium spice. Having one spicy and one mild was perfect, and both had deep, flavorful profiles that got even better as the meal went on. VEGGIE PLATTER The veggie platter came packed with fresh ingredients like lettuce, lotus root, mushrooms, and squash. All the vegetables were crisp and high quality. MEAT ASSORTMENT We ordered wagyu and several cuts of beef, all sliced beautifully and extremely fresh. Everything cooked quickly and soaked up the broth in the best way. SPICY HAMACHI BOMB ROLL This roll with torched hamachi, eel sauce, and mango was delicious and added a nice sushi moment in between the hot pot. NOODLE ASSORTMENT We tried the handmade noodles and sweet potato noodles, both were an epic addition and perfect for finishing the meal as the broth got richer. FRIED VANILLA ICE CREAM Crispy on the outside and cold in the center, it was the perfect sweet ending. Perfect way to end a chilly evening during this soup season.

Visually - the restaurant is beautiful and they present ingredients really well - especially the hot pot displays. I was super impressed. Food wise - the meat we ordered for hot pot was super yummy, the Tom Yum broth was flavorful, and the sauce bar had a lot of options so you can make your own dipping sauce to your liking. The KBBQ was ok, I was more impressed by the hot pot. If I were to come back, I would try their sushi. The menu is very extensive - wish they offered AYCE option a long with the a la carte, but overall great experience!

I've never been to Korea, neither have I ever had food in a Korean home. With this in mind, I am…read moregoing to go out on a limb and say this is as close to authentic as it gets. I started with the Gyoza. The owner/chef advertised these as home-made, and it definitely shows. The dough is delicate, and the meat and vegetable inside are balanced and nicely seasoned. I think there are a few glass noodles thrown in for texture as well. The Dolsot Bibmbop was great! It came out on a sizzling, hot stone bowl and had flavorful and tender meat and a wide assortment of veggies. Everything was cooked just right, and had a spot-on amount of seasoning/salt/spice. I also loved how the rice on the hot stone came out with a lovely crunch! Finally, we eat with our eyes (though some Yelpers eat with their cameras) and visually it was colorful, and could beat out some works of contemporary art, if I may say so! Where it comes to the Banchan, I am much less thrilled. All but one of these had a hefty dose of an overpowering, fiery, and heavily acidic sauce. Thus, it made 4/5 of these variations on a theme. Service-wise: When I visited, it appeared to be a one-woman army. One person appeared to be the owner, chef, and server in one! She was friendly, kind, and there wasn't a hefty wait for the food. On the flip-side though, doing my research I find that some questions were left unasked. This includes if I wanted to gyoza steamed or fried, and what protein I wanted with the bibimbop. Value-wise, I find their prices are reasonable, especially considering the filling portions. Thus, while nothing was mind-blowing, I found the food tasty and authentic and the value reasonable. While the service was very welcoming, it would've been nice to have been asked about the options in the menu. Last, the Banchan was enough of a miss that if I return, I will ask to skip them.

Though not a Thai restaurant, their Tom Yum noodle soup is just the best. They let you choose the type of noodle you want which is really nice if you want to customize and have a preference for noodles. Other favorites I recommend from the menu are the fried oysters and the green tea smoothie. Wish I could recommend more since it's such a big menu but I keep sticking to the same things so I can't personally speak to them. Others have tried the rice dishes etc and liked them a lot as well so I really don't think you can go wrong.

Paik's Noodle offers Korean-Chinese cuisine inside HMart Quincy's food hall!…read more All the food stalls in the food hall have a pretty limited menu of options to choose from but a couple of notable dishes that are quite popular from here include: -Jajangmyeon(black bean sauce noodles) -jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) -tangsuyuk (fried sweet + soup pork) I've tried the jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk from here and thought they were decent! I think for the price and what you get, it's very reasonable. Some things I do want to note are: wish the portion sizes were a little bit bigger, they do skimp on the meat for all the dishes, and also I've tried all the food stalls in here and Paiks Noodle takes the longest to receive your order lol... even on a non-busy day/time. But other than that I think they're a great addition, as Korean-Chinese cuisine is hard to come by in this area & MA in general! Parking: free parking lot
