Such a cozy and warm restaurant that embodies the quintessential Korean soul. I came to Hanbat for the first time (trying to make my way through all the Korean restaurants in NYC's K-Town) and had a delightful experience. Saturday night, we didn't have a reservation and there were already lots of full tables, but we were seated fairly shortly (for 2). Friend and I shared the kimchi jeon and then she got the beansprout soup, I got the gamjatang. Kimchi jeon was absolutely banger, I don't know if this is accurate but because she was so thick yet fluffy and pillowy, it almost was reminiscent of focaccia (kimchi focaccia?). Loved the chewiness, and the kimchi flavor was nice and savory. Big fan of the gamjatang as well - pork slides straight off the bone, the broth had a nice earthy and peppery flavor, and I def felt the spice for that one. Service was very generous and overall I had a fulfilling meal, reminded me a lot of my own family's cooking so that felt nice :')
Wanted to try another restaurant next door but it was packed. This didn't disappoint though, and I'm glad we came. They had plenty of banchan (not pictured) and seating. I remember coming here several years ago and the quality has remained pretty consistently high. - Galbi, (4.5/5): my fave of the 3. Perfectly marinated and had a nice chew. Lots of meat so I think the portion size is worth it. - Spicy stir fried pork, (4/5): it was saucy, pretty standard, and had a nice kick to it. Lots of stir fried veggies as well (though it did feel like there was more veggie than pork) - Seoullungtang, (4/5): warm, soulful and comforting. My main complaint is that there were not many beef slices, but I liked the customizable additions for salt. Surprisingly finished all the food as a party of 2... thought I would have food to take home but we were pretty hungry!
Great restaurant tucked away a few streets from ktown. The service is great and the banchan variety is good. the rice comes in a stone pot and you can scrape off the burnt pieces after for a nice treat.
Came here for a quick lunch on a week day. Service was very fast which I appreciated. Side dishes were fine. Bibimbap was okay. It was hot, but it didn't come in the traditional stone bowl which makes the rice slightly crispy. Overall, I would probably return again if I needed a quick bite and was in the area, though I would not seek out this restaurant again.
This is my go to spot whenever I'm craving bean paste stew or sul rung tang! I'm always able to walk in. The space is large for NYC standard. Their bean paste stew is my favorite! Every bite is flavorful and every ingredient soaks up the bean paste nicely. The sul rung tang is creamy and beef essence.
Yes, it's an easy spot to hit up if cho dang gol's line is too long (which it always is) but it's also a cozy, authentic restaurant as well. The servers are all super nice and they refilled our banchan happily 3-4 times. They have such an extensive menu, including lots of vegetarian options! I got the japchae which was large enough for two meals, and it was pretty decent! My friends loved their dishes as well. The bibim guksoo was very refreshing and perfectly sweet and spicy. The galbi jjim, i thought the soup was pretty light but the meat was so tender. The stone pot pork over rice was okay imo but my friends also really liked it.
I'm a Spicy Pork enthusiast (I order it 90% of the time!) and I paired it with the Ox Knee Slices here. The flavors were standard K-town fare but the highlight of the night was definitely the server. She was hilarious and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a friendly atmosphere, this is the place!
If you want to be seated rather quickly and just need a quick fix of korean food or just happen to have a large party, this place gets it done. I thought my meal was lacking flavor and the some of the banchan tasted old. You know something's up when the potato salad tastes like blue cheese :( There's barely any meat in their soups too, I only had a few small pieces. So I felt ripped off paying $30 for soup and pancake
Came here with some friends and got a bunch of dishes to share. The inside was quite large with lots of seating, but you should still expect a bit of a wait (we waited 15min so it was not bad at all). The portions were smaller than I expected but the food tasted homey and comforting. It didn't stand out but it wasn't bad at all. The service was not the best, but it might have been because we don't speak korean. We asked for some bowls a few times but the waitress never brought them to us (maybe there was a language barrier?). Overall this place is pretty good if you don't want to wait in the long line that the other korean restaurant had. But the service left something to be desired if you don't speak korean
Han Bat is a small, straightforward Korean restaurant located just outside the main Koreatown area, though it's still in that general neighborhood with other Korean spots nearby. The place was quite crowded when we went, which is usually a good sign, but we were seated almost instantly. The service was fine but felt a bit slow at times, and paying was a little confusing since you have to go up to the front register yourself rather than having the waitstaff collect the check at your table. The banchan, or side dishes, were pretty standard. They did include one that was like a sweet mashed potato, which was a nice little change, but the rest were what you'd typically expect at any Korean restaurant. For our meal, we got an assortment of bibimbaps and a kimchi bokkum. The bibimbap was quite standard, very similar to what you'd get at other places. It was a satisfying and hearty meal, but we didn't feel it particularly stood out from versions we've had elsewhere. The kimchi bokkum was better, with a solid spicy kick that wasn't overwhelming. It came with a good mix of ingredients like chewy rice cakes and pieces of pork mixed in, which made it more interesting. It's a reliable spot for classic Korean comfort food in a no-frills setting.
Dinner special 1 entree & 1 small stew for $28. 3/5 sundubu jjigae- requested extra mild, but was still way too spicy 3/5 jeon- decent, not as bland as other places, was able to eat it w/o salty soy sauce 4/5 kimchi cheese fried rice- pretty good, wish it was a bit less spicy Banchan: 4/5 broccoli- pretty good, seasoned 2/5 potato salad- not a fan of anything with mayo 3/5 Japchae- pretty decent 3/5 kimchi- very spicy, very fermented 3/5 tofu kimchi- spicy
My grilled squid tasted ok. It definitely tasted like it was something you buy frozen from a pack but the Soon Doo Boo Chi Gae reminded me of my mother's. I will order that again next time as an entree alone. This is the 2nd time I am coming here. Service can be hit or miss.
We originally planned to go to the restaurant next door, but we were late and there was already a long line, so we decided to give this place a try instead. At first, I was a little worried the food might not be as good because there was no line at 12 PM and only a few tables were occupied. But we immediately regretted not trying this restaurant sooner. The bibimbap we ordered was the best we've ever had in NYC. It wasn't over-seasoned, the ingredients were very fresh, and the crispy rice at the bottom was perfectly crunchy and delicious. I strongly recommend that the restaurant update their menu and banner to let people know their bibimbap is one of the best in NYC. They deserve more customers.

Truly a classic Korean gem in NYC. Been in business for over a decade and it continues to serve up the warm and fuzzy feelings of a happy home in soup form. They are uncompromising in their rich and authentic flavors. I have benevr been wronged by the Galbi Tang, Seolleung Tang, or pictured here is the Do ha no Tang which had the same base as the seolleung Tang a beef bone broth (delicious before it was trendy) and the highlight: beef cartilage / tendon. Athletes, keto, weightlifting, dieting, and low-carb low-fat high protein people... This is your dish. The cartridge is tender bouncy some pieces have more chew as is a natural products, but dipped in the slightly tangy sesame soysauce and it is FANTASTIC Basically pure protein. Plus, for my skincare fans, get that collagen! Seafood pancake pajun is another stellar choice and to be fair, better crisp and sitting outdoors with a cold beer on a summer night out. I've yet to have a bad meal here. Generous with their Ban Chan (side dishes) and I always find new things to like, yesterday was this great pumpkin pancake I would for sure order if it was a main. Covid distancing: For the time being they have SUPER well distanced tables compared to the rowdy 32nd Streets. Food was delicious, hot and quick. Right now, they have great $10 specials on seamless! Pics below are half eaten...I never remember to take a pic because I start digging in too excitedly! read more
Came here on a whim after missing a reservation at another restaurant. We were seated very quickly and did not need to wait for the rest of our party. We ordered scallion pancakes for the table, and our individual meals. The food was quite tasty! And great portions. We could barely finish our food! Two of us were vegetarians, and were pleased that there were vegetable and tofu options. Would definitely recommend trying out if you're ever in the area. read more

They were quick to get us in and seated on a busy Friday night, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The food came out fresh and hot, but it was subpar in terms of flavor. The flavors were a bit muted and too subtle for my liking but overall, the dish was good. I just wish it had a bit more impact and explosion of flavors. read more

This is as centralized as you can get in Manhattan to accommodate all parties living in the tri-state. This place can get crowded pretty fast during dinner time if you don't make reservations for a big group. Made reservations in advance since 7-8 friends for 6:30PM one Friday. It is a clean, mid-sized restaurant. Tables on the left side, center, and right side of the restaurant. First thing you notice is, the amount of space between the tables is walkable as long as you are not carrying multiple bags. Since the tables are movable to accommodate various party size, be aware sometimes it's a tight squeeze. Though be forewarned, you clothes might smell like the food. Might want to bring a garbage bag to put your clothes in. Otherwise this place is great for food. Seafood pancakes, bibimbap, japchae, bulgogi. Service is fast and the servers always check to make sure your cup is full with tea. Don't recall the bathroom though there is a bathroom. read more

Came here on a Friday for lunch. They open at 11 AM but the owner/worker kindly advised that lunch pricing does not start until 11:30 AM. We ordered the hot stone beef/veggies bowl which came highly recommended, as well as kimchi jigae. This came with dduk, thin pork belly slices, tofu, and lots of kimchi. The side dishes were simple and perfect for an early meal. Lunch prices are fair. The space filled quickly. Swing by for some Korean comfort food in a calming environment. read more

A bit on the pricier side, but think that the portions are worth the money. The Hamul Jungol would be enough to eat for two if that's all you order. Just regular spicy is also pretty spicy! They serve it for you and it comes with a bunch of goodies in the soup: tofu, spam, ramen, shiitake mushrooms, and sausage. By the end of it though it can feel rather salty so definitely drink lots of water. Gobdol bibimbap was what we expected. Nothing too crazy about this, but would say that this is perfect for when it gets colder out. read more

I almost swallowed a twist tie in my bean sprout soup. Hopefully this was only a one-time screw up on their part but I won't be ordering from here again :( The rest of the food (kimchi pancake and banchan) was edible (3 stars), but I had to take one away bc of the choking hazard. read more

A few friends and I came here after karaoke at Duet 35. We were seated right away. We decided to share dishes because the portions were quite large and it was the perfect amount of food for the 4 of us. After we ordered, the server brought over the banchan (Korean side dishes), which were pretty good. My favorites were the fish cakes and dried seaweed - It was wonderfully flavored, incredibly crispy, sprinkled with sesame seeds and definitely addicting. I also liked the broccoli and cauliflower. We ordered scallion pancake with seafood, bibambop, ribs and noodles. The scallion pancake was delicious. I especially liked the more crispy, slightly burnt parts. I just wish there was more shrimp in it because I didn't like the other type of seafood in it. The bibambop came with marinated beef, egg and veggies. We had to wait for a few moments to get a spoon to stir it with, but turned out fine. The mixture of rice with the meat and vegetables had a nice taste to it. The grilled short beef ribs came on a sizzling platter, along with onion. It was wonderful, marinated in a very flavorful sauce. The ribs were super juicy, tender, slightly sweet and definitely lip-smacking good. The Korean style glass noodles with vegetables and beef were also quite yummy with plenty of both meat and veggies, which were very fresh (broccoli, cucumber, spinach, peppers, onion) The food here was solid, but the service was bit slow. Also, there seemed to be a language barrier. Overall, great meal at a lovely Korean restaurant. read more

I'm really not impressed. It's cold and all you want is comfort food so should you go to HanBat? You can but it's not the top of my list. The food was overwhelming average for me. We got a clear broth rice cake and dumpling soup and sauteed kim chi. The soup was really bland. It wanted to be comforting and delicious but there was something missing. A saving point was the wide variety on the menu and the fact that the sides are great quality. However, there is a good portion size.With two dishes between two people, there was plenty to take home. The service is okay, pretty standard for a Korean spot. If you want good Korean food around this price, I'd say wander around a bit or hit up BCD. read more
Residing in K-Town the past 3 years, I terribly bored of the selection of Korean cuisine along 32nd and 5th/6th. During one occassion, I decided to make a left turn on 35th coming down 6th Ave. That detour led to a refreshing (re)discovery of authentic Korean food in Hanbat. The Sul Run Tang and Modeum Soon Dae, which were fresh and flavorful, would give Gahm Mi Oak a run for their money. The selection of bibimbaps were fantastic, especially the Haemul Dolsot Bibimbap (seafood, octopus, and squid). The spicyness was packs a good kick, but it certainly does not overwhelm the flavors of the ingredients. Hanbat is also situated in the perfect location for crowds coming out of karaoke places like iBop and Duet 35. However, the biggest advantage is being located outside of 32nd street ,which allows patrons to avoid the long lines you would encounter on a weekend night at Kunjip or Wonjo. Hanbat is spacious with plenty of tables, making it suitable for couples and large groups as well. The waitstaff is very friendly, though service can be a bit slow when crowded as there were only 2 waiters every time I visited. With great tasting food at very reasonable prices and the lack of wait time, Hanbat is a wonderful choice for Korean food in the Herald Square area. Also, I'd be sure to try their delivery service next time around as well! read more
I came here for a quick lunch during the weekday. They have lunch specials, which is in general about ~$2-3 cheaper than the regular price. I got the bibimbap, the taste was ok, nothing out of the ordinary. It's their side dishes that got them the 4 stars! One side dish they offer which I've never got before is spicy ribs and potato. It was so good. If they offer this side dish as a main dish, I would order in a heart beat. Overall, great spot for a quick lunch if you want traditional Korean food. read more

Nothing special in terms of scenary. However the food was good. I ordered their fried Mackerel (salty) to my tastes but very delicious never-the-less. I also had their Spicy pork over rice (really tasty) and my husband had their Bone soup which he found a bit bland but paired perfectly with the Mackerel. Room for improvement (s), but I'd return again for the Mackerel and Spicy pork. Just be ready to wash it all down with a nice bottle of chilled Sapporo beer read more

Your typical sit down korean restaurant that serves all the staples and more. My group ordered the bibim kook soo (spicy noodles), bulgogi, bibimbap, ramyun noodle soup, and the duk bok gi. The service was on the slower side considering they had one waiter taking the orders of everyone in the restaurant. Still, it wasn't a very busy night so I was disappointed with the efficiency of the service. If I had to pick which dish was the best out of the 4 we got it would be the bulgogi, but even then I feel as though we could have had better for the price we paid. The bibimbap was pretty plain. Everything else was "meh". Overall, I wasn't particularly impressed with the experience here. Not bad, but I've had better. read more

Hi Jason,…
Haemul Pajeon has always been my favorite korean item to order. Its no wonder, I like seafood pancake in any ethnic variety (ie bun xeo, french or middle eastern savory crepes). So Haemul dolsot bibimbap was a no-brainer. How've I not known this before? Sort of like when I hadn't known soon-dae was also a popular soup. But I do prefer the dry appetizer version of that one. Back to the Haemul bibimbap. It was excellent. Soccarat-a-liciously so. If you are like me- an absolute RICE or DIE chick especially more so, when it comes to crispy rice ends- like Soccarat or the handful of names its also referred as- you know.. the burnt bottoms of rice that are so religiously addictive. I didn't care for the haemul, as the shrimps and bits of squid had shriveled and dried but the spicing and flavoring were apparent. Bless you, I can eat Soccarat (rice bottoms) plain and I would be one happy camper. It's not cheap, but HB gives you a lot of yummy ban chan to go with ALL that Soccaratabang. I will certainly be back for their bibimbap 1000%. read more
