Went here on a chilly Wednesday night with my gf and it was packed. The moment I walked in I was amazed by the beautiful handmade decorations and the sakura tree inside. The decor of the place is definitely one of their best aspects. Most of the food however was average. Okonomiyaki. $15.00 The toppings were tasty as I love bonito flakes and Japanese mayo but the pancake itself was too bland and tasteless with too much cabbage. Mini-Udon (x2). $10.00 The udon was good and had plenty of little toppings. The soup was a tad salty. Salmon Salad. $10.00 Honestly I only ate the salmon slices. Those were tasty. The salad however was poorly made. There were huge chunks of lettuce and some parts tasted bitter. Lancing Roll. $13.00 Eel, avocado, shrimp and crab-meat topped w/ spicy tuna. Good blend of ingredients but presentation is poorly done. The ingredients were every loose. It tasted fine however. Kiss of Fire Roll. $12.00 Spicy tuna, cucumber and white tuna topped w/ avocado. Disappointed that they gave me regular tuna instead of white tuna. Taste not as good as the lancing but it was decent as well. The waiters were really helpful. There was negatives I have to point up such as not giving us soup spoons with our udon, my spoon was cracked on the tip, and they gave us only 3 little plates of complimentary appetizers compared to the 6 everybody around us got. read more

My not-so-out of town boss asked me to pick a place for lunch that serves Ramen. Being far away from my typical japanese towns in the East Village and the high-forties, I was constrained by proximity to the office and time. Since my first pick was not open for lunch, I picked this place. HaruHana, is supposedly a japanese restaurant located in the heart of korean town. The whole menu was in English and Korean. They had a fairly large selection, but I failed to understand the logic of the menu. I had no problem pretending it was a Japanese restaurant, until they put kimchi on the table. Either way, I ordered the Katsu Cheese Nama based on the picture. I have never heard of such a dish so I was very curious to try it. When I placed my order, I honestly thought it was a noodle dish, but its actually deep fried pork loin katsu with soup and egg, which comes with a side of rice. I liked my dish and was quite full from it, but the boss didn't like his Soy Sauce Ramen, which was recommended by the staff. Others on the team ordered the Seafood Udon, Katsu-Curry and Chicken katsu. The chicken katsu didn't look all that special, but then its probably just there so that non-pork or beef eaters can dine with us. The Katsu-Curry looked good, but for whatever reason my colleague didn't like the curry sauce. Overall, I'm willing to give this place another try since it seems like I had the better dish of the group, but at the same time I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here. read more

I give them huge pointers for accommodating our huge group of 11 people. They were able to make seats really quickly for us, which I was really glad about. I think we made it just before the dinner time really kicked off, so there were quite a bit of empty seats in the back that we could all grab together. Food was average I would say. I really can't speak for any other food than the katsu here because that's all I've had the past two times I've been here, but the experience was pleasant. I had the chicken katsu last time and the mozzarella pork katsu this time around and both times really crunchy and then soft on the inside (mmmmmmm). Meats are all very tender inside which is a plus. The katsu dishes all come w so many things like a side of curry, soup, rice, and salad. Really filling! read more

Had their lunch special for 14.99. The Pork Katsu happened to be pretty good. However, there wasn't any sauce or flavor you'd generally expect with katsu so it was a bit bland. The egg helped however. The udon was just OK. Not much flavor at all. Something between a 2 and 3. I'll note it down as it was a bit pricey for the quality. read more

While I've probably tried every single restaurant on this street (no lie!!), Hanamichi came as a bit of a surprise. Their menu is diverse and interesting for a korean establishment, which I tend to find have the usual suspects of bulgolgi, bibimbap, tofu stews, etc but I was pleasantly surprised. It had more of a bar/pubby kind of atmosphere with the clubby music in the background and dimly lit backdrop. We started off with a pineapple flavored soju, which came in a mad scientist-esque beaker bigger than the size of my head with two shot glasses. The alcohol is pretty strong - my friend who never gets get the slightest bit drunk got pretty tipsy trying to down more shots of it than me! Pleasantly sweet and delicious. I checked into this place on yelp and got a free tofu salad, which ended up being a tiny asian soup spoon with a piece of tofu with raw tuna on top with a light soy dressing. I was in a rice mood, so I got the chicken katsu don - breaded chicken over rice with egg. The rice was slightly moist, which I didn't like, but the chicken was chewy and well done. The biggest surprise of the meal was the ddukboki (korean spicy chewy tubes of rice noodles - one of my favorite things ever!!) and seafood, all covered in cheese and tossed into a giant soft kabocha. Kabocha is one of my favorite types of squash, a sweet and succulant bright orange Japanese squash with a rich creamy texture when baked or steamed. Paired with the gochujang (the korean spicy pepper paste) and chewiness of the noodles and cheese, it was AMAZING!!! Beware: this dish is HUGE and was way too much for two people along with the rice dish we got. Had plenty of leftovers which I ate for two more meals the next two days. Overall about 60-70$ for the meal which I found pretty typical of ktown, but had a ton of extra food for the next two days!! :-) p.s... if you're still in the mood for a dessert or two, the Paris Baguette and Tous Les Jours have great asian pastries. Or, for a more ghetto option, head over to H-Mart for their ice cream selection... melon bars and red-bean paste filled fish ice cream!! read more

Came here for the first time for dinner on a Friday evening. Let's just say I won't be coming back. When I arrived with my friends it was surprisingly empty. We got seated right away, placed our orders, and waited. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. But the quality of the food was not great. I ordered chicken katsu. The size of the side salad was bigger than my rice and the chicken... In addition, the katsu sauce was watery. The order came with a little bowl of curry. The curry tasted like it came out of a mix. In terms of service, our water was not refilled at all even though our cups were empty. Overall I would not be coming back. read more

Being in the mood for sushi, I ventured to Ktown to see what was around. I stumbled across Haru Hana. The decor is nice, the menu is confusing as shit. It has at least 200 items on it. I ordered a Manhattan roll which was great, but a bit too spicy for my taste buds. It was good though and worth the $10. My issue? The service is HORRIBLE/ TERRIBLE/ SUCKS/ BLOWS...you get the hint! I waited at least 40 minutes to get my roll. I had to beg the woman for more water and the check was another 15 minutes to get. Now I did go at the height of the lunch hour, but cmon, there is no excuse for that. Let's just say, there's a first and last time for Haru Hana.. read more

The food was ok, but the way they worded their lunch special was misleading. They said two combinations for $27.99 so we ordered two combinations. When we got the bill, it was for two lunch specials. I told the server this, and he said he would explain it to me. An explanation after the fact doesn't save me spending $30 extra dollars on a lunch. I do not appreciate being scammed by their (probably intentionally) confusing menu design. read more

Contemporary Japanese spot in the middle ok K-town. We got the seared ahi tuna salad, edamame, agedashi tofu and pork katsu. They were all fresh, well prepared, and nicely presented. Being the self-proclaimed condiment Queen, I liked the assortment of sauces that accompanied the katsu. It make an already good entree that much better! The portions for the starters are average, but the katsu entree was huge. Between the two of us, we still had leftovers. Service was ok.

Mushroom was served raw, and they suppose it can be cooked by putting it into hot soup, BUT, the soup is almost cold.... What's more, the time we finished, they ask us to leave.....

With its fake cherry blossom trees, cobbled floors, and wooden tables, this place has a really cool atmosphere, and unique menu items to boot! Our meal came with miso soup, pickled jalapeños, pickled radish slices, and kimchi. I'm glad the Yelp check-in allowed us to try the tofu salad appetizer for free, because it was definitely something I was un-amazed at: served in a wooden spoon, a square of tofu topped with a bland slice of tuna and topped with roe sat in a pool of some sour, light wasabi mixture. Meh. The highlight of the meal was the Squash with Spicy Seafood. It came out in full glory--- kobochoa squash filled with a seafood/pepper and onions mixture, smothered in mozzarella cheese! There was a lot of seafood (baby octopus, squid, shrimp, mussels, clams, and even half a crab). Service was awesome; the staff was really courteous and attentive. Be prepared to sit really close to other diners. If you're overwhelmed by the extensive menu, definitely go with the squash with spicy seafood! :) read more

I had completely forgotten I've eaten here 4 years ago. Recently, I came back with some friends before catching a movie. I still love their really cute decor. Reading back on my review, it made me realized I still didn't like their long benches because it's hard to get in and out of once you sat down. We started off with the Manhattan and Midori rolls, which was pretty fresh and good. We've also ordered the octopus balls, which was only okay because there was a spec of octopus with lots of dough. The salt and pepper squid legs were delicious, which I think I can eat the whole order myself. We shared the Stir-fried baby octopus with slices of pork belly in spicy sauce, which was pretty delicious and wasn't spicy neither. We also ordered the Sweet Pumpkin with spicy seafood, which was quite delicious. The pumpkin was sweet and soft. The seafood wasn't spicy to me and it even has part of a crab in this dish. I think this is a cute place to go on a date. The decor's cute and the food was delicious. The staff were really friendly as well. read more

Wondering about K-town and decided to try out Haru Hana. Service was fast and attentive. The tables were clean and I liked the leave tiles on the floor. I made one mistake: I checked in with Yelp after paying the check, so didn't redeem the free offer. Next time. Tuna Tadaki: slices of rare cooked tuna with special dipping sauce. For the large platter there were 8 pieces, so thin you could stack them all up and eat all in one bite. Hiyakko Tofu: Cold tofu with fresh grated ginger, grilled bonito, chopped scallions and soy sauce. Its not a block of tofu, but rather the squeezed out part that looks like cottage cheese. It tastes better than it sounds. Fish Katsu: this is how fish and chips should be served! super crispy, super oily.....so good. read more

I came here with 4 other people for dinner. The place was packed so we had to wait for a table. That gave me a chance to look around the restaurant which is absolutely beautiful. It is adorned with wood tables, wall decorations and gorgeous trees with pink flowers. I could not stop looking at it, even the menus were notable. Once we were seated we could not stop talking which resulted in me barely getting a chance to carefully look at the menu, so due to that and some silly confusion on my part I just ended up ordering the Chicken Teriyaki dish which was not cheap at all. The presentation of my dish was beautiful and it came with miso soup, rice and a side of something I could not figure out what it was. However, although the dish did include sauce, it was really bland and I did not enjoy it. I felt like there wasn't so much to it so I ended up still being somewhat hungry at the end of it. The service was relatively good considering that a few people in my party asked for their dishes to be altered in one way or another. It was possible for some but not others. Although this place, as well as my dish, were beautiful I felt like it was all about aesthetics, which is always a nice addition but it does not compensate for my bland dish and its relatively high price. read more

I had the Soba Mesi (which wasn't on the regular menu): fried rice with noodles and pork. The portion was filling and the taste decent. My friend had the Seafood Udon which she said was good. I heard the Hiyayakko Tofu was good but didn't try it due to my lactose intolerance. It seemed good for a vegetarian to try though.

My biggest gripe on this place is the choking floral smell they spray around the restaurant. It's thick like a cloud and hangs heavy in the air...while you're EATING. Not the best combo. The food itself is good! Rolls are just normal...nothing standout and not their specialty. They do come with soup though! My friend and I shared a seafood dubokki inside a korean pumpkin. Interesting, filling, and pretty good! A decent amount of seafood and pumpkin... not sure if the gochujang/pumpkin combo was all that inspired but it wasn't bad. I would for sure come back if it wasn't for that floral smell. Busy and crowded as expected of most narrow NY restaurants but i'm curious to try other things on the menu. read more

One helpful tip: if you're making a reservation, be sure to double-check that you're going to the correct location. There's another restaurant with the exact same name directly across the street, so it can be a little confusing. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end. Another nice bonus is that if you pay in cash (there's an ATM inside), you get about 10% off. If you don't mind spending a little more for really good quality and service, I'd definitely recommend this place!

I've been here twice in the past month. It has a nice Japanese feel to the restaurant with cherry blossoms and artwork along the walls. As with any Japanese meal, we ordered edamame as an appetizer. The dish was smaller than expected, but it would be a good serving for 2 or 3 people. Their tea is very good. I don't taste this kind of tea in all Japanese restaurants. The flavor of it is like the crust of the rice when you cook it in a clay or ceramic pot. For the table, we ordered seafood okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki is a served usually like a big pancake that's shared between many people. Their menu describes it as a Japanese pizza. I've had okonomiyaki from other restaurants, but this is the best I've ever had. It either lacked ginger, or had just the right balance of it. At other restaurants where I've tried the dish, they tend to overload it with ginger, which takes away from the taste of the pancake itself. The first time we went, we had the tuna tadaki, gyoza, and an appetizer size tempura. The tuna tadaki was good... I would describe it like cured tuna sashimi. The gyoza was fine. The appetizer-size tempura comes with 4 pieces: one shrimp, one potato, one onion, and I believe one eggplant. Both times we went, I ordered the fish katsu. It is unbelievable soft! The fish katsu comes with a tartar sauce for dipping. If you order other katsu dishes, they come with a sweet sauce and they give you a mortar and pestle to crush sesame seeds so that the crushed sesame can be added to the sauce. The katsu dishes come with a clump of rice, curry, and miso soup. I can't take spicy dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised that the curry served with the dish isn't spicy at all, but it had a nice curry flavor! read more

I am usually day time visitor as I am working at the company located at the mid-town. When I am visiting, I love this place: good service, and delicious food and acceptable prices, especially in lunch hours. However, one day, I was almost pissed off and got angry when I visited in last Friday night . What happened in that night make me feel something awkward, As I usually enjoyed my food, I asked for my bill ( check ). Usually, whenever I visited at the lunch time, they processed with electronic copy of the checks, but that Friday night, they gave me the paper check written by handwriting. so I was angry and pissed off, because I was thinking there might be fraud/collision between night time employees. Sometimes, I need to report my receipts to my boss for reimbursement. So, I asked them for any copy of receipts. However, They, although they were looked pretty busy, somehow ignore my request and refused me to provide it. Its so unacceptable and weird that one restaurant provides two different copy of checks. completely. read more

I came to this restaurant tonight and was seated and given some water and menus. After a few minutes me and my guest realized we wouldn't have time to stay so I apologized to the host and and told them we will have to leave. I left a bill on the table as a courtesy for bringing us water and got up to get going after my guest returned from the bathroom. Just as I got up the *****host took the bill off the table, and ripped it 4 times right in front of me.***** I asked him why he did that, and he did not look at me and proceeded to walk to the front of the restaurant. When I got to the front I asked him again, and he just stared into blank space and did not acknowledge my question. I asked the 2 ladies that were in front of the register and they seemed shocked and told me I should just get going. I left the restaurant feeling awfully confused as to why this happened. I'd love to have the cleared up. Also, I believe it is illegal to destroy US currency and throw it in the garbage. read more

Want real Japanese katsu? (it's pork cutlet) Want super delicious udon broth? Haruhana will not turn you down. Don't let its location fool you. Even though they're located in K-town, they have great Japanese dishes and sake selections. Korean plates are a plus! If you want some genuine, authentic food, this place might not be an ideal spot for you, but for people who want cool vibe, delicious specialty menus, tasty drinks and superb service, this izakaya style restaurant will perfectly fit for your needs. 1. Their new menu super spicy hot chicken is recommendable who can handle spiciness. 2. On wed, thu and sat, you can see unbelievable cool magic at late night if the place is not too crowded!

Definitely a get if you love seafood. Yakitori overall was ok. They were all smothered in the same kind of sauce which took away from each pieces' flavor profile but overall they have a large menu offering for those looking for skewer options. For appetizers we recommend the tako wasabi (diced octopus in a wasabi based sauce) and the beef tongue. Ai Ki Ya is a great place for late night, Japanese soul food eats nestled in Korea town.

We took advantage of their BOGO Omakase deal ($39.90 for two sets), which offered incredible value and fresh flavors.

He gave me a buzzer and I waited at a table. The cafe area was pretty clean. It took about 15-20 mins for my food to be ready. The buzzer went off and I picked up my tray. Everything was pretty good. The meat was flavorful and not too fatty. The sides were also good. I would come here again for a quick meal.

I ordered the Hanok Combo with the beef bibimbap and kimchi soup and was very disappointed. When I ate it at home, I was met with poor quality beef that overshadowed everything else. Everything flatlined for me and I know this review reads suspiciously bad with little to no credibility, given the lack of balance in this review. Even the kimchi soup was disappointing and I thought that would salvage the rating. The best thing I can write is it looked appetizing, but the results on my kimchi and Korean experienced palate were very disappointing. I did not eat it all and most was consigned to waste unfortunately. I tried dressing it up with the condiments they provided and what I have at home to no avail. I don't like writing such a review, because I know the vendor is likely working very hard to produce a good product. Perhaps this Monday was a bad day or a particular delivery of food or spice was not received. However, I must call it the way I experienced it. You can do better elsewhere in Gallery 32. One star...

One of the best things is that they offer combo plates. On my last visit I ordered the half jjajangmyeon and half spicy seafood noodle soup combo. The jjajangmyeon was light on the veggies and meat and heavy on the onions but in general this dish tasted okay. The noodles were bouncy. The spicy seafood noodle soup was okay but I found the seafood to be a bit on the fishy side. Otherwise the dish tasted fine and was not overwhelmingly spicy (I asked for less spicy). After ordering, it took 5 to 10 minutes for the food to be prepared. They provide you with a device that alerts you when your food is ready to be picked up. The restaurant is located in a food court with restaurants spread out on three floors with seating on each. The place can get pretty crowded during peak times. I've never been here when it wasn't at least half filled with diners. This spot is good when you want comforting Korean noodles, soups or fried meat at a reasonable price in a casual setting.
