We were able to find seats on a busy Sunday evening after trying a couple spots. They have a really solid dinner combo deal with an entree + soup for around $30-40. Don't be fooled by the price - the portions are huge and comes with plenty of complimentary side dishes - our favorite always being the potato salad and pickled bean sprouts. For the combo, we got the seafood pancake and the oxtail soup and both of them impressed! The table has salt/pepper so it's up to us to season the oxtail soup, but it was perfect for a cold winter night. The jjim samgyupsal was also very good - though the pieces + cabbage combo were very huge. I also really liked the service - the accommodated our party of 8 very well and got us everything we needed. Only knock I will give them is that from my friends, tha dakgalbi is very dry and the kimchi jjigae is very salty. read more

This restaurant has been around for decades! I remember my first visit was in 2011, when a colleague introduced this restaurant to me. Back to present day, now this is one of my go-to restaurants for lunch whenever I plan to meet up with a fried for a quick catch-up. I highly recommend visiting on a Friday to avoid any rush hour crowd. Whether it's for lunch or dinner bc many companies are still offering a hybrid work from home Friday schedule. Which means staffs are friendlier and food quality is always at its best when there is a smaller crowd. Their lunch special prices are unbeatable considering this joint is located in midtown Manhattan, New York. Bc a typical lunch meal is generally more expensive than any other NY boroughs. The lunch special menu offers many opts, so you will definitely find something suitable one way or another and leave satisfied since they serve a good portion too. Let's not forget all the complimentary side dishes they provide before your meal even arrives. I like to pair the kimchis with my entree, but while I wait for my entree to arrive, I snack on the other side dishes. This is another must try restaurant in my opinion if you are new in the area, or if you are a local and craving authentic Korean food. read more

I ordered for TAKEOUT - Gobdol BiBim Bab - I paid $23.90 for it. I LOVE Bibimbap - And this place was recommended so I said why not - I've uploaded 2 pix - ONE is what it was supposed to look like according to their menu and pictures - (Like All Bibimbap usually does - WITH a RAW EGG on top) AND - The other picture is - WHAT I GOT! - I couldn't go back as it was takeout - and I live about 30 minutes by subway away - and I had no reason to think I should open the takeout and look at it BEFORE I left the restaurant - I rarely if ever do that?? - AND on top of it all I WAITED 20 MINUTES for this mess!! - I AM UPSET - and THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED!! I could have ordered this mess/slop - that looks like an unfried rice mash-up at a local CHINESE restaurant for $8-$10 - I PAID $23.900 for THIS!! If I'm in the neighborhood again anytime soon - I AM GOING BACK to discuss FACE to FACE - WITH the receipt! -WTH!! read more

Came here for a later dinner (~9pm) on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were seated (party of 4) but also how many tables were filled! Cozy interior that makes you feel right at home and hungry for some warm comforting meals - we all had a stone bowl variation (Bulgogi, Kimchi with Pork) which were served hot and sizzling! The Kimchi Fried Rice with Cheese was such a surprise - so tangy, delicious, and sweet from the cheese! read more

This used to be my go to delivery restaurant when I used to live in Hell's Kitchen which I always enjoyed, esp the budae jjigae. Tonight was the first time I dined in person, and the restaurant is very warm and cozy. Went with a large group since Cho Dang Gol had an extremely long wait time. We were able to grab a table for 11 right away, and the servers were attentive and very friendly. We all ordered different items but I got the ojinguh gob dol (spicy stir fried squid with rice in a hot stone bowl) which was tasty and def recommend. Everyone was satisfied with their order and we all drank a couple of bottles of makgeolli that paired very well with our entrees. If you want a warm drink other than tap water, you can ask for hot barley tea along with banchan refills (which are both free). read more

I can't say anything about the food because we weren't able to eat there. As a person with a service animal, I entered and was immediately confronted by two servers demanding identification and cross checking my ID. I had to explain what the Documents were in both English and Korean and then they moved us to the back corner of the restaurant as if to hide me. The servers proceeded to glare at me tight lipped until I had to leave out of discomfort and a feeling of shame, for something that I should not have been made ashamed of. I think that they should learn hospitality and kindness before putting anything else on the table. read more

Hanbat is next to Cho Dang Gol, and probably suffers from but also profits from the popularity of the latter. We found ourselves at Hanbat precisely because the wait for Cho Dang Gol was...2 hours. Hanbat is unassuming, with a 2 min wait. So if you are hungry and right there, it is an option! We ordered a good amount of food to be shared among four. The scallion pancake is solid. We ordered a pork/tofu dish (that I can't remember the name of). I don't eat much pork, so it's not like I have much to say either. The LA Galbi is great but we were left wanting for more. The mixed seafood dish was a solid choice. Ultimately, Hanbat got the job done, on a night when, momentarily, we thought we may not have any dining options at our disposal! read more

I've been here a few times. Food is good but the space at each table is TINY. The servers dont seem to know a lot of english so sometimes they didn't understand what we were trying to say. It gets pretty hot in here. Noticed there were small black spots in the water. Probably from a water filter that needs to be changed out but wasnt great having to be careful while drinking water. Lots of side dishes and servers were quick to refill when we asked. 4.5/5 Kimchi fried rice - standard kimchi fried rice, has everything you expect. Was good and more than enough for me for dinner. Would order again 4/5 Budae jjigae - had all the things you expect. I wish there were more noodles and that they didn't get soggy as fast. The soup is hot and spicy. I got really hot while eating this, to the point I had to go outside to cool down for a bit bc its very warm inside the restaurant. 5/5 Bulgogi gob dol - great flavor and texture. So delicious with rice. Would order again. I would come back if friends wanted to dine here and order the bulgogi or kimchi fried rice again. Deducted a star for interior dining experience- too hot and cramped. Pros are lots of options, food is good, servers are nice. read more

Average Korean food -- nothing that special. Service was fine. The Pajun seafood scallion pancake was a bit doughier and thicker, but it was good and crispy. The Gobdol Bi Bim Bab said it would come with kimchi, but it didn't. And I thought that the choice of protein (chicken, beef, pork, etc.) would be marinated. I got it with chicken, and it turned out to just be cut-up steamed chicken pieces over the rice. Although the food was fine, I wouldn't be in a hurry to return. They use paper plates and paper cups, which I don't prefer because of the wastefulness. read more

4.5 / 5.0 - Hanbat is one of my go-to spots for a traditional hot Korean meal, especially on a cold, winter day. The service is great and if there is a wait, it's shorter than some of the other spots in K-town. My recent favorite is the Gobdol Bi Bim Bab ($17.99+ for lunch), which is bibimbap in a hot stone bowl. It is delicious and comes out sizzling hot, including the following over rice: - Assorted vegetables - Kimchi (which I order without) - Raw egg - Choice of: Marinated Beef / Pork / Chicken / Shrimp / Tofu / Vegetable Only Will be back again soon! read more

Was waiting nextdoor at Cho Dang Gol but the wait was atrocious and I decided to try this place out instead. What a great decision that was. Run by mostly Korean staff, clientele is also largely Korean. There are some very authentic dishes like the sam gye tang. I ordered the half order (ban gye tang). The chicken wasn't amazingly fresh but it was decently done. Ginger was a bit overpowering. The sticky rice was interestingly moulded into the chicken - at first I thought it was a weird infestation. The side dishes are to die for: japchae - flavorful, I wish I could have had a whole dish of just this spinach/bean sprout: subtle, clean flavor potatoes kimchi spicy rice cakes: on the spicier side, a nice balance of sweet and salty If you check in, they will honor the 4 free mool mandu (water dumplings) coupon that you get. Highly recommend these in general, they're very authentic. Tastes just like I remember my holiday family gatherings - the filling, the dumpling skins are all very traditional. I ordered the mandu gui (fried dumplings) as well just because I was so impressed but surprisingly I preferred the water ones - the flavor comes out so much nicer in them. But they're the exact same dumplings, just cooked differently. Service is sometimes slow because they are just that busy, but they're friendly. read more

Amidst all of the 1-2 hour wait times in Ktown, we were able to be seated within 20 min at Hanbat. That being said, we did have to wait quite a while to receive our food. However, we could tell the staff was really busy. And they were really good at restocking our banchan so no complaints here! We especially loved the cucumbers and potatoes. The beef soondubu was decent and not too spicy. But the star of the show was the super silky tofu. And the seolleongtang was also pretty good. But I felt like the flavor could have been deeper from the ox bone. Like it tasted like most of the flavor came from the salt. But still, pretty good regardless! My favorite dish though, was the Dong Chi Me Kook Soo. They don't give you the vinegar or mustard oil separately, but they don't need to because the soup is seasoned so well. I just wish they gave some scissors because it's so hard to chew through buckwheat noodles. read more

I got Jhim Sam Gyb Sal and the sliced cabbage was overly salty. I also found a tiny dead gnat in one of the slices of cabbage. Soups seem like a safer option here. I'll overlook the bad only because Dino from Seventeen ate right next to me. read more

I've came here a few times now, but always just because Cho Dang Gol had too long of a wait. But, this place is not bad at all - it has all of the Korean dishes you'd expect. It feels very home-y inside, which makes the food feel more authentic. It's decently priced for NYC Korean food - expect around $20 for a dish. Pajun ($19) - we got the kimchi version, but you could also choose seafood. This was large enough to share between 3 people. The edges were perfectly crispy, but the middle parts were a little on the thicker side. Al Chi Gae ($21) - I tried this dish for the first time ever; it's pollack roe soup. There was actually a lot of pollack roe inside, but I found it overall lacking some flavor. It was quite spicy, which hid the taste of the roe. It had a few pieces of tofu and clam inside as well. Came with a side of rich. Loved their banchan spread - it did change a few times though. They had a lot of different types. read more

I came here with my friend for dinner on a Thursday evening. We were both craving Korean food, and I hadn't eaten ramen or rice cakes in a while so I ordered the Ra Myun Noodle Soup (Hot) with rice cakes. It also came with an egg by default, which was a nice addition. The broth was tasty and the spice level wasn't too bad, even with my weaker spice tolerance. It did build up and was more spicy as I continued eating, so my friend helped me out by eating some. I liked this dish a lot, and I'm hoping to be able to recreate it at home. read more

My friend and I decided to come here instead because CDG next door had such a long wait (Sunday afternoon). We were seated right away and they have both indoor and outdoor seating, so plenty of space! The hot tea we got was really good, especially during this winter. The dishes, most utensils, and some plates are disposable, but I guess it makes sense during COVID. I ordered yukgaejang but it was a bit flavorless, which was disappointing because I wanted some kick to the stew! I had to use my friend's seasoning that she got for her sulleongtang. Staff is friendly but a bit hard to get their attention once they get busy (took awhile to get our check). read more

I came here twice and both times it's an unwavering 3/5 for me. If Cho dangol next door didn't have long lines I wouldn't have came here. Because this was just a backup option for me I didn't know what I wanted to get right away. I told the server she can take my friends' orders first and come back to me later, but she gave me the side eye and looked visibly annoyed. When I was deciding between two options I asked for her rec and she told me to just look at the pics. I ended up getting the sullangtang (ox bone soup) and there weren't many ox meat slices. Call me uncultured or whateva but there's no actual ox bone inside the soup if this is also your first time getting it. I prob won't be back a third time, even as a backup no thanks read more

Let's say you have a go to Korean restaurant, not far from Han Bat...if you were me, you might tend to stick to the familiar and not try something new. That might be short sighted. If you are on 35th Street, you have several excellent choices, one of which is Han Bat. The food is really excellent, the service friendly and attentive and the prices reasonable, We had a very generous Jap Chae and a Bi Bim Mak Kook Soo, both so delicious we had trouble choosing which one we liked best. We will happily go back. read more

Even in 85 degree weather--I always crave soup. We got here around 6pm on a Thursday--decently packed but we got seated quite fast. I really wanted the sul lung tang and my friend got the gam ja tang. I honestly thought the sul lung tang was just ok. It's a bit more watery than what I'm used to and they didn't add any noodles to it. The gam ja tang was interesting. The meat was really soft and tasty. It was my first time having this soup, and maybe I wasn't used to the taste--but it reminded me of hot chocolate? Definitely grew on me over time. read more

Was not our initial choice like many others but I'm glad to have given Hanbat a chance :) After a short wait of 5-10 minutes without reservation, we got a table to the back of the packed restaurant by the wall. I liked the little bit of privacy and space we get from other diners with the dividers sectioning us off. My friend got the gopdol bibimbap with kimchi + bulgogi while I went got the Dong chi me guk su which was a cold buckwheat noodle dish. While the bibimbap was great in presentation and flavor, the hot stone pot was TOO hot making most of the rice crispy which could be a downside depending on how you like your rice. I believe this is my first time having Dong chi me guk su and definitely not my last time now! It was super refreshing with the slightly sweet flavor from the pear and acidic flavor from vinegar or whatever else it was. The cold broth made it super addictive to slurping up the noodles. The beef slices were bland but eating with kimchi helps AND a big slurp of noodles to wash it down. I'll definitely be coming back for this in the summer My friend and I were there for a long while with no pressure to leave asap from the staff (this was a Thursday night btw, 8:30pm) All the workers were very kind and I enjoyed the authentic Korean vibe read more

Popped in here on a Sunday night. It was pretty crowded but I never saw anyone wait for longer than 10 minutes so don't worry if you see a lot of people. Service was quick and friendly. I think their best deal was probably the combos on the back page. It said smaller portions but these seemed like normal size! Bulgogi came out hot with grilled onions. Very flavorful and not too fatty. The soon tofu was average but for the price, can't complain. The real show stopper was the banchan on the side. This is one of the best kimchi I've had in a long time! Will return on my next trip! read more

A few blocks away from the heart of Ktown, Hanbat offers value lunch deals that seems to be rare nowadays in Korean restaurants here. Even if other Korean restaurants offer lunch deals, it still ends up being expensive unfortunately. I got the Sul rung tang L1, for about $13 (excluding tax and tips). Make sure to season this dish to your liking. I assumed it would be seasoned for us but it isn't. I put in about two tablespoons of the jar of seasoning they provided us. The other lunch deal of entree + appetizer for $18.99 peaked my interest but for broke college student reasons, I went with one lunch menu entree. The japchae from the appetizer section does not taste like the japchae they gave us in the (side dish) barchan. It is much more flavorful, making it an incentive to order the japchae. The side dishes were plentiful, my favorite being the fish cake. One of the staff members asked if we wanted a refill, to which we happily accepted. I do want to note that the Yelp Check In offer for four boiled dumplings is rather old, they no longer do it. read more

We originally wanted to go to the restaurant next door but of course the waiting time was 1 hour long! K town please ! Thankfully, there were seats available at Han Bat. The decor is very traditional and felt like every other Korean restaurant which is a good sign am I right? The ban chan was pretty standard with kimchi, broccoli, japchae, soy sauce potatoes, and spinach. The soy sauce potatoes was nice and savory. We ordered the seafood tofu soup and cold noodles. Surprisingly, the tofu soup didn't have too much of a msg taste. I could actually taste the seafood in the soup, which to be honest is rare. There was not a lot of seafood in the soup but I thought the choice of tofu was very nice. It's the soft type not the firm type so choose as you will. I didn't have a msg aftertaste leaving this place so I definitely would not mind coming back here for a chill eats spot! read more

Always hits the spot. Occasionally I drive down to Macy's in Herald Square to return or exchange an item I purchased online, and almost always use the trip as an excuse to get Korean food. And almost always, I end up here because it's good and reliable. During COVID, they've built outdoor enclosed pods from pine planks and plastic, for different sized groups from 2 to 10 or so maybe, each equipped with an overhead heating lamp and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Nice. This trip, we ordered Mandu Gui, kimchi pajeon, and two combos: Doenjang chigae + spicy pork and soon dubu chigae + bulgogi. Their mandu always slams. Doenjang chigae unexpectedly contained seafood (not typical) so I swapped it for solung tang (beef bone soup). The meats were cooked a lil sweet for my preferences but still tasty. All in all, though, everything was good and service was great. read more

DON'T come here if you're hungry because you will be waiting too long for food. And the food was just okay. The sul rang tang tastes like clear broth so you'll need to add a lot of salt.

Pretty good/standard Korean food spot! Big pro: a lot of seating so didn't have to wait to get seated for dinner at 6PM! (All other restaurants nearby had a 1 hour wait) Our food came out pretty fast too! The hot stone bibimbap was so good and the rice got crispy on the bottom really fast which was extremely enjoyable. The kimchi tasted fresh and the broccoli and spinach side dishes were well seasoned. The pajeon was just okay - a little soggy and too oily, but expected for a free side dish at a Korean restaurant. Also, the portion size is huge!! The bibimbap was enough to fill two people! read more

This place used to be more decent but I still think it has its essence in place with its flavors and options. I got the bulgogi in a stone pot. The pot is extremely hot as expected and of course the rice gets burnt at the bottom. Maybe a little too much but regardless it gave my dish an unexpected crunch to it. The sauce was a necessary mix-in and overall the food was ok. The prices are much higher now in 2021 compared to prior to the pandemic - kinda obvious I guess. The side dish options seemed to have gotten more basic too but that's the least of my worries. Overall this is still a solid spot for some nice low-key Korean food but nothing too mind blowing. read more
