Neat photograph within the building. (Interior)

We are in a bit of a pickle (and we're not talking about the nasty bland neighboring restaurant to this place). We have enjoyed their food on 3 separate occasions over 3 years. They have been good every time. But their price is WAY up there when they have actual 3 and 4 dollar symbol restaurants to compete with. The customer service is also painfully lackluster. They make you feel like being there is a pain in their side. On multiple occasions. If they even exhibited a tenth of the energy that is coming from the K-Pop artists performing behind them, maybe patrons would feel more welcome. The beef plate is always good. It comes with rice, steamed broccoli, japchae, and kimchi. The KFC appetizer is really good. We got ours as the local fave, soy garlic. But even a 5 out of 5 taste cannot make up for their shortcomings. Ordering one beef meal for $28 and Korean Fried Chicken appetizer for $20 really spells out that they would feed a single person for $48. I. Am. Floored! Overall, this averages a 3.2 out of 5.

Fried chicken with sauce on the side
Jenny Y.

I'm a fan! The food was pretty good and the variety for the ban Chan wish they used a thin line sharpie to make changes to the menu, the changes were hard to read. - short rib: standard, good marinade and not too sweet. It was on top of cabbage instead of onions. - fried chicken: wings and drumettes, the batter kind of reminds me of Popeyes. A bit on the greasy side. We got their sweet and spicy sauce med and there was no heat at all. I'd recommend the chicken sauced, unless you want the option of unsauced chicken too.

Kimchi soup
Lisa W.

This place is awesome! We just did a pick up but it's the only Korean place in Paso. And it's legit. We ordered dumplings, bibimbap and kimchi soup with pork. We were surprised it came with banchan for our to go order. The dumplings were nice and crispy. It needed ponzu dipping sauce versus straight up soy sauce. The bibimbap was huge! It was delicious. My kimchi soup was excellent. Lots of flavors. A tad bit salty but make sure you eat with lots of white rice. Generous portions, was able to eat and had a lot of leftovers for dinner the next. Next time we would love to come and eat in the restaurant.

Seafood Tofu Soup
Travis P.

What a hidden Gem in Paso Robles! It was empty when we came in on Friday but I can confirm the food here is solid! We decided to order these items. Seafood Tofu Soup - Solid tofu soup was a large selection of random seafood. Flavors were good, and overall good. (4.5/5) Soy Garlic Chicken Wings - We got medium and it had a kick! Super crispy and flavors were great. Loved this! (5/5) Side Dishes - They definitely have the best side dishes I've had in a Korean spot. Total of 9 different dishes and also REFILLABLE! Enjoyed the potato and fish cakes. (5/5) Overall, it seem to be a small family owned business with two siblings running the shop at the time I was there. Place doesn't look like much but you'd be surprised at how good it actually is.

Grilled beef
M A.

My family and I came here starving and the ambience was bright and inviting. The servers were courteous. The place wasn't overly crowded and so we expected a great experience. We ordered the bibimbap, Japchae, and grilled beef that all came with banchan. Traditional Korean food items so nothing fancy. The bibimbap veggies were crunchy but a bit too oily from the sesame oil. The grilled beef was good and the Japchae with pork was not bad either a bit more sauce for noodles would've been appreciated. We did however have to ask for water (which wasn't refilled) and got a small piece of hair in our rice bowl. I wouldn't however call this a KBBQ. As there wasn't a table grill in sight. Thanks for the experience Paso Robles Hana KBBQ

Pan Chan- side dishes

I am serious! This restaurant never disappoints! We went again today (Christmas Eve) they were busy but we received great service and the food was amazing once again! This time we tried their ddukbokki (mild for my daughter lol). The flavor was amazing and the rice cake was nice and soft. There are times I have gotten it at other restaurants and the rice cake is a little hard and not cooked all the way. Hana's seems to use fresh rice cake because it was so pillowy soft like you get it at the dduk jip (rice cake store). It was just amazing. We also got bulgogi this time and the flavor was spot on! My husband and I lived in Korea for 3 years and have had authentic Korean food and coming back to the states we have always gone searching for the "real" Korean flavors we had come accustomed to and this place really delivers! We also ordered the dduk mandoo kook (rice cake dumpling soup) and it was soooo good! It's a traditional New Year's Day soup that is enjoyed any time of the year and very popular among Koreans and theirs was probably the best I have ever tasted outside of Korea! No joke! The broth was exactly how I remember it. Wow! We also like how it's not a huge place... there are a few tables and it's just nice and cozy instead of crazy busy. We appreciate that when we are trying to enjoy a nice meal out with our family! Also, the chef came out this time and he was so friendly and kind! I love it that not only is the food amazing but the people are as well! I cannot say enough about how awesome this place is. I really hope people try this Korean restaurant! My husband and I have had Korean food in Korea and all over the US and man...this place is one of the BEST!

Banchan- comes with order.

AMAZING. I got the soondubu mild and it was just right. The broth was flavorful, and the meal came with rice and banchan. Best spicy cucumber, kimchi, and banchan EVER. I don't know how something so simple was made to taste so good, but definitely worth it. I had the leftover banchan the next day, and it was even tastier! My only complaints are they're not open on Mondays and I don't live in the area. That's how much I enjoyed the meal. Will definitely come back.

Kimchi tofu and stone pot  bibimbob

My husband and I were visiting Hearst Castle and the hot springs, and we decided to see if there were any Korean restaurants nearby, just in case. To our surprise, there was one only 6 minutes away, so we decided to check it out. It was amazing that there was a Korean restaurant in such a remote location, and we didn't have high expectations for the food. We thought it would be Chinese-style Korean food, but we were so surprised! There were so many side dishes, and the food was incredibly delicious. It was just as good as the great restaurants in our neighborhood, which has a large Korean population. We will definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. This is a hidden gem!

The accompanying banchan....
Melissa K.

Stopped here for dinner on the way home from San Diego... my son picked it after looking up options on Yelp. Pros- family owned and operated, the father and kids working here were all very nice and helpful. The dolsot bibimbap was cooked well; loved the crispy rice and the fact that it was loaded with veggies! Grilled chicken entree was also tasty and plentiful. The egg on top of the bibimbap was perfectly runny with rich yolk covering the entire dish once we cut into it! They had a good variety of banchan too...kimchi and more veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, etc.) Lastly on the pros, everything was reasonably priced. We ordered two entrees and an appetizer, our bill was less than $60. Definitely felt we had good value! We actually took home a lot of leftovers, so we'll get another meal or two to boot! Cons- the japchae didn't have a lot of color, which translated into not a lot of flavor. I've definitely had better. Lots of restaurants are usually pretty skimpy on the meat portion that comes in the bibimbap dish, but I felt the portion here was extra skimpy (note: they were generous on the grilled meat entree, we took home a lot of leftover chicken!) The location, if you're from out of town and heading back to the Bay Area like me, it's a little bit of a drive off the freeway and an even longer route to get back on 101 Northbound. If you're headed Southbound, getting back onto the freeway is a breeze! With that noted...if you live in the area or are in Paso Robles for a wine tasting vacation, and if you're craving a home cooked style Korean meal, I would suggest giving this spot a try. If you're really in the mood and don't mind the extra drive, you'll have a tasty meal followed by a short drive through a cute downtown area. Either way, can't go wrong!

We tried this place by chance earlier this week and it was so great we returned 3 days later! We had the Dak Bulgogi, Kimchi Bokkeumbap, potstickers and egg rolls. All delicious! Love that you can choose your spice level We ordered for home the second go. See photos. The servings are huge. A little pricey but worth every penny. I think we just found our new family favorite spot!

Stone bibimbap , amazing,  must get
William L.

Amazing authentic Korean foods on par with the best in LA Korea town. It's a mom and pop feel don't expect all the frill. The food is a different story. Each banchan dish was quality and you can taste the freshness. The bibibmap and soy garlic fried chicken were all done to perfection. The food is there, if they had a bit more décor, this place would be lit.

From Fresno traveling through Paso for work in SLO, stopped for lunch. Hot stone bibimbap w beef & mixed veggies incl medium yoke egg (I ask for runny yoke). A solid 5 stars. The stone bowl was 2/3 toppings and 1/3 rice, very nice ratio. Toppings were impressive (forgot to take pix), also plentiful of leftover. Nice rice crust at the bottom that wasn't soaked in oil like other places. Next day went back for lunch, had Galbi grilled short ribs (4 stars). Plentiful but the marinate was bit salty (but okay when eaten w bite full of rice). Tasty morsels and cooked to perfection. Multiple banchan sides, each has its own unique flavor, appreciate refills.

Bean paste soup with tofu
Pamela R.

Wow! This place is so amazing! When we visit Paso we try to get take out. The Galbi and bulgogi are soooooo delicious ! We order extra banchan because everyone enjoys it. Do not hesitate to order from here it is truly wonderful and satisfying!

We were a party of four, seated quickly and our server came up after 5 minutes or so, asked about drinks. We ordered he brought them and then disappeared...didn't ask if we wanted appetizers. We stopped him on his next lap passing by and asked for edamame, he brought one order and left. Had to stop him again and asked for another order as he didn't wait long enough for us to say two orders the first time...he dropped it off and gone againWe were ready to order so we had to flag him down again. Finally ordered and he brings one order...then 5 minutes later another order...and then 5 minutes for the next order and then closer to 10 minutes for the last order. No apparent thought given to bringing everything at the same time so we can all eat together? Very sad as we have always enjoyed eating here...maybe they were too busy but good service should always be a foremost goal of a restaurant...

This is a four-star review relative to the fact that it is very hard to find good Chinese…read more(Chinese-American) food in SLO County. In San Francisco this would be three stars on my scale. That being said, we had a pleasant experience here. It's clean. It's bright from sunlight (not industrial lighting) inside. There are booths and tables so small or large party-flexible. Got a friendly greeting from the owner (maybe?). You pay when you go in, before you sit down, so there's no waiting for your check. If you'd like beer or wine (only wine by the bottle, but it's $16.10 a bottle - Copper Ridge), you buy that at the front, too. I had a Tsing Tao beer for $4.50. Self-serve tea in plastic mugs, which is just okay. It's a multi- row buffet with a lot of choices. We went for Friday night dinner, at 5:30. It had a few big tables of families and some small groups at the booths. I most enjoyed the salt and peppered pork, sesame balls, veggie spring rolls, and all the wok-cooked dishes with vegetables (like beef with broccoli and the wok-cooked green beans), which were perfectly cooked, fresh, and not too salty. The house special rib (a flat cut, not like a spare rib) was in a very exotic magenta sweet/spicy sauce and was worth a taste. There was a dish of fried salt and pepper in-shell shrimp, which I would have tried if I had felt like shelling shrimp. My partner said the steamed peel-and-eat shrimp were also very good. I was impressed with the fresh salad bar's cucumber slices, and fresh honeydew and cantaloupe, which all looked very nice. I would skip the noodles and the egg flower soup. Oh, and the soft-serve vanilla ice cream with sauces was very fun. There were many kinds of cookies that I wasn't familiar with that were fun to try: a vanilla wafer with cream cookie, and an almond cookie. The empty dishes were cleared quickly. It was a good value at $23(ish) per adult for dinner on the weekend. Different prices for lunch. We will be back!

As sushi lovers, we were so happy to find authentic Japanese food during our Paso Robles getaway…read more It was also the very first meal we had there, and it did not disappoint. The lunch menu comes with miso soup and two sides. Since we had a big group, we got to try a variety of sides, including cold tofu, green salad, marinated seaweed salad, and vinaigrette cucumber salad. Most of us ordered sushi or chirashi, and everything was super fresh. Such a great start to the trip

Very good Japanese food in such an unexpected location, a small business park in the middle of SLO…read morewine country. Goshi is an absolute gem for anyone looking for good quality fish and dedication to preserving and translating Japanese flavors to the California coast. From the moment we walked in, the service was prompt and professional. The lunch specials seemed like the way to go. We got to try a few different rolls; although none blew my mind, each one was solid. The udon broth was a bit dark and salty, but the umami flavors were rich and complex. The shrimp tempura was well-fried and lightly battered. Honestly, the standouts were the miso soup and the yuzu sorbet mochi (perfect refreshing way to end off a meal). Price-wise, I might be spoiled coming from Vancouver, but I thought the dishes were all a bit pricy. However I do think the quality of the fish was quite high, so it didn't feel like the most ridiculous ask. I'd definitely stop by again when passing through the area!
