    We can't stay away from this place! Anytime we like to see a comedy show we always go here before to eat, another great meal! Service is always top tier, they are super friendly and the owner will walk around and pickup things as needed. We brought some friends with us this time and they ate their hearts out. The place was busy and the atmosphere is very chill.

    Assorted Banchan.

    We were in Sacramento craving Korean food and saw this restaurant with a grand opening sign on the front of it. We came at 2:12pm after the lunch hours which ended at 2pm, and couldn't take advantage of the lunch price. But that was ok. The restaurant was quiet and relaxing. The ambiance is modern Asian decor, very clean and comfortable. There are tables with chairs and some areas had booth seating. Service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. We placed our order of tempura and beef bimbap. Wait for food didn't take long. The bimbap was huge so hubby and I shared it. Banchan was plentiful. Tempura was super hot and crispy. Everything delicious. Excellent service, food, and ambiance!

    I've heard a lot of great things about Hankki so I made a reservation for our large group. We had the perfect size group for their "patio" space which is still indoors, and it's not entirely closed off but it did feel more private since we were in the front corner and away from other groups in the main part of the restaurant. Service was amazing! They were very attentive and pleasant to all of our group's requests. The menu had quite a few things unavailable, not sure if it's because they recently opened or just bad timing when we came, but still a decent amount of options for our group to try. The menu overall isn't as extensive as other Korean restaurants in the area though. The only comments for improvement are the bulgogi beef, which could be more caramelized, and the grilled pork belly was a bit dry, since you really do need to eat it right away as it comes on a hot stone grill and will continue to cook. They do explain that for the pork belly though, but just personally it didn't have any marinade so I'd be fine skipping it next time. I also wish the galbijjim had more of a stickier consistency in the sauce but I loved the rice cakes inside. Everything else was delicious and I would definitely come back after everything we tried. My standout favorites were the popcorn chicken, kimchi jeon, bossam pork wraps, and japchae. The banchan selection was really good too, my favorites were the tofu, eggplant, potatoes, and fishcake. Very pleased with our first visit and how they handled our big party with grace!

    We had a great experience at Hankki! We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and the restaurant was clean, spacious, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and even refilled our banchan and water often checking on us without having to ask, which we really appreciated. The food was delicious! The bossam was incredibly tender, flavorful, and easily our favorite dish. The braised short ribs were rich and fall-off-the-bone tender, and the spicy marinated raw crab had great flavor. The only small issue was that the crab still seemed a little frozen in the center. Aside from that, everything else was excellent, and the presentation was beautiful. Overall, we had a wonderful meal and will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

    This is an excellent new Korean restaurant in Sacramento. The area seems to still be revitalizing but the restaurant itself is clean and modern. The food is really delicious, including the bibimbop, bossam, kalbi tang, and banchan. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick and friendly. My family enjoys Korean food and has had a lot of different types, and Hankki was very good. Highly recommend!

    Braised beef short rib
    Ann H.

    I specifically dined in to try the braised beef short ribs. Of course I had to add cheese. Some of the ribs were still chewy and not fall off the bone tender. I loved that this dish included potato's, carrots, onions, rice cakes, and mandu. I asked for spicy sauce; however, the sauce tasted more sweet with barely any spice. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the ribs. The Bossam and the spicy tuna Kimbap was perfectly delicious. No complaints with these dishes. The corn cheese was just okay. Overall, this was a good dinning experience. Will return for the short ribs in the future.

    Must order seafood pancake

    I want to give this place a 1 star so they won't get busier but that wouldn't be fair to the business itself. This place has the best Yukgaejang [spicy stew with beef and veggies]. It made the entire experience for us. The depth of the soup, the textures of the veggies with the brisket meat. You can't go wrong if you like a spicy Korean soup. We also love their seafood pancake here. It is light and airy, not dense like most places, the squid is tender and the veggies are fresh. It tasted more like a light tempura batter that wasn't greasy. Dip this in the soup and you'll be so happy. Their beef bulgolgi was good but their chicken was better. Our family does not typically order chicken dishes but this one, was probably the best chicken dish we have had in the last year. The meat was tender, juicy, and still had a great char to it. They're a bit short staffed but the employees there are great and do their best to give you a wonderful experience. Love the casual vibe, delicious food, and fast service. You'll be seeing us here often.

    My wife picked the place for going out with some friends. We had a reservation. We arrived on time and the place has a parking lot. we got a spot right in front of the place. Inside they had a long couch area to wait in. It was nice. The place was really open and kind of blah looking . They had some wood paneling on the back wall. The counter was in the middle of the room with a showcase that had I think Kimchi to take out. There were quite a few tables taken. It was a nice size dinning area. We told the server/hostess that we had reservations. She had to set up a table for us and we waited for a few minutes. That was fine since our friends were parking. We were seated to one side along the window. The menu was a cool cut out of their name. Pretty neat. The menu had a lot of pictures of the food which was nice. They had a nice selection and not over board with too many foods. The prices were a bit higher than other Korean restaurants. I hope the price would bring great quality. We were going to do family style since there were four of us. But one didn't want to but we still did family style. We ordered the La Galbi, Grilled Pork Belly and the Galbi Tang. They brought us the Banchan. The small dishes. Kimchi was really good and spicy not bad. They had fried tofu and it was very tasty. I liked most of them. My wife's friend got the Original Soon Dudu which is a soup. She really enjoyed it and it was good. She got it with mild spice and it was ok since she doesn't do spicy. So the Galbi Tang came out first. The soup it came with two beef bones. The server didn't bring us scissors or any type of knife. We peeled off the meat with the spoon but the meat was too hard to spit with the spoon. The server/waitress was really busy. So I took out my own knife and cut up the beef. The soup was not bad, we enjoyed it. There was only one waitress/server for the entire place. There were two people bringing out the food and cleaning the tables. Service was lacking because of this. The place was pretty busy and she had to serve all of the tables in the place. Not very good and she barley had time to check on us. I had to get up and go to the counter to get some stuff. The La Galbi came out and it was nice . the meat was cooked properly and good to go. Not much sizzling going on though. :( Lastly the pork belly came out. The worker that brought it out told us to be careful because the plater had a sterno burning inside and it was sizzling. The pork was hard and over cooked and they were cooking it more with the sterno cartridge underneath. This is when I had to go up to the counter. The server was answering a call and I waited to tell her about the over done pork belly. She later came over and asked if we wanted anything else. I told her we just wanted the pork belly but not over done. She said it would be a little while before they could make another one. I told her it was fine since we wanted some pork. The pork belly came out and this time they didn't have the sterno and it just was plated on a grill. I looked at it and some of it was burnt. We all tried it and it was still over cooked and some of it dry. It's supposed to be pork belly and this was like just pork. The server later came over and asked how it was and I told her it was still over cooked. She they told me that was the way they made it and no one else ever complained. Wow !! She left and then came back to ask what we wanted to do with the pork. Did we want to take it off the bill of not? I just told her to do whatever she wanted to do. When we got the bill she left it on. My friend picked up the bill first and was kind of shocked that she left it on the bill. I wasn't , I was shocked at her comment to us. Hopefully they do better on their service in the future and get more staffing. We will see if they make it in the future. For the prices they want I just don't think it's worth it right now.

    Hankki has been on my list to try for awhile now and finally had the opportunity to go. Went on a Saturday around 5pm and luckily we only had one party in front of us. You have to write your name down when walking in, it should be hanging on the wall. For the food, we ordered the mixed soon dubu which is beef + seafood and we ordered the braised beef short rib w/ cheese which is $5 extra. The soon dubu came out first and it was incredible. So much flavor and the portion size is pretty big. That might have been my favorite dish. The braised beef came out next but they forgot to put the cheese on it. It took awhile to get one of the employees attention to let them know. Once they added the cheese, we started to dig in. The beef was so tender and you could taste the sweet soy sauce. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back again. Thank you so much Hankki!

    Bibimbap
    Dante B.

    Arrived as a party of 5 for lunch on a Saturday. A few of us requested hot tea before realizing this is a charge of $5 ... so please be aware. Most Korean restaurants do not charge at all for tea. Ban chan (side dishes) were all especially delicious which is always a good sign to come. We ordered tuna kimbap ($10), bossam ($46), and bibimbap ($23). All incredibly delicious with a high price point (but to be expected these days for Korean cuisine) The restaurant is still in its soft opening phase, so I'm willing to give some grace--but the service definitely needs improvement. We requested extra banchan three separate times before it finally arrived at our table. It was pretty clear the request had been forgotten, but when it was eventually brought out, the server acted as if it had been intentionally delayed for preparation. That response felt off-putting. A simple acknowledgment would have been much more appreciated, especially since the situation was quite obvious.

    So far best korean resto in Sac! So many korean resto we've tried in Sac and this is far the best we've tried. Everything we ordered today was sooo goood! We almost finish everything on the table for 3 people. Their side dishes are refillable. They are very attentive, good service and fast in arriving all our orders. It served fresh and hot. Their grilled mackarel is to die for! Their galbitang is one of our favorite and the seafood pancake is the best we've tried so far. Love the place, not enough parking space but still will always go back here to try their other menu. Little bit pricey but overall is the best we've had!!!

    We hungry!
    Tara L.

    We came in hungry and left satisfied! Their portions are pretty big. We ordered too much but that's okay....leftovers for dinner! I tried bossam for the first time which is basically pork belly served with sides of kimchi, napa cabbage, daikon paper, daikon kimchi, garlic, jalapeño, two sauces, and two servings of steamed rice. You can eat it however you want. It's enough food for 3 people. I definitely recommend that if you're really hungry. We also ordered bibimbap and kimchi pancake. Also delicious. Service was great. Everyone was very friendly.

    Stumbled upon this place for lunch while looking for the best KBBQ in Sactown. We ordered the LA Kalbi lunch, Mandoo, and Tempura. The Kalbi was very good, perfectly grilled and tender the Mandoo was yummy, it came with a tasty dipping sauce The tempura was okay, too many sweet potato pieces. I Loved all the Banchan side dishes, so fresh and flavorful. I really hope this place does well! Great food with decent prices! I can't say that too often anymore The Owner was really nice and accommodating Looking forward to trying the Soups!

    So it's Valentines night around 630p and I had settled in on the couch thinking my evening was…read moreset,when my 24 year old daughter who was visiting for the weekend from out of town comes into the living room and was like "So where are we going for dinner tonight?"I literally did LOL and was like "Nowhere-not on Valentine's Day on a Saturday night with no reservations".She did not accept that as an acceptable answer and she jumped on her phone and after calling place after place she found a spot that had a wait under 30 minutes,though it was pretty far from Natomas and it's a place I have zero and I do mean zero experience with-but what are you going to do-When the wife and the daughter want to go to dinner on Valentines Day,I guess you get off the couch and head on out-we headed out to Modurang Korean Restaurant on Folsom Blvd. Parking at this location is kinda tricky in front of the restaurant as the spots seem very close and people seemed to be parking recklessly but luckily it's quite a large lot with many spaces in front of some of the other shops in this multi tenant shopping area. Once we got to the restaurant we noticed a few people waiting in the lobby ahead of us but considering what night it was,I was fine with it.We ended up waiting about 20 minutes before we got our table. I will admit fully I have zero expertise at Korean restaurant,outside of occasional visits to a BBQ spot but at traditional sit down Korean restaurant,I was out of my element.Luckily for me,the daughter has spent multiple weeks in Korea thru her military service,so I felt like I was in good hands-I let her have total control of what we were eating that night,that wasnt easy for me to do. We ended up going with Fried Chicken in spicy sauce($22.95)-Seafood Fried Rice($18.95)-Soft Tofu Stew($17.95)-Hot Stone Beef Bibimbab($19.95),which along with the courtesy banchan was so much food-but I'd never been to this restaurant-I wanted to try some things. To drink we ended up going with some Blackberry wine($14.95) and my daughter went with a Milkis($1.95) drink-I just went with water but I did have my eye on some Soju,but decided against it since I wasn't sure what I was up against "food-wise". Once the food arrived which was lightning quick-I was in heaven,the 11 small dish banchan along with our dishes,I can't tell you which was best because everything I tasted was on point and kept getting better and better.My bibimbap was so fun to eat-I enjoyed the act of mixing it all up before trying it-was so tasty.The tofu stew came out piping hot and the flavor profile was like nothing I've had before-it was super enjoyable.If I had to say though,the star of the meal was that fried chicken in spicy sauce-holy smokes-large pieces of chicken drowning in the spicy sauce,it was a flavor overload that I couldnt get enough of-I loved them-I think I ate 80% of them-sorry wife and daughter-I couldnt help myself,they were awesome,I'd always heard how good Korean chicken was but now I can vouch for it-it's really really great-do yourself a favor and get this dish-it's awesome. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the mood to try a traditional Korean restaurant in the Sacramento area,I would without a doubt recommend Modurang Korean restaurant-it was a pretty amazing place and I'm glad I tried it-hope you feel the same way if u try it one day. PS-forgot to mention that Blackberry wine was delicious-another surprise of the night-very enjoyable.

    I've been here once and had a pretty good experience. The food was delicious, and one thing that…read morestood out was the bossam--it came with raw oysters on the side, which was a nice and interesting touch. The restaurant is new, clean, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and the service was good even though the restaurant was quite busy. I'd say the pricing is around $$ to $$$ (about 2.5 dollar signs), which feels reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, Modurang is a solid Korean restaurant in Sacramento. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes, the raw marginated crab are what I wanted to try, especially since they seem to be popular with locals. Worth checking out if you're craving authentic Korean food!

    My daughter struck again…read more My daughter flew into town from Texas and she wanted to hit up another Korean restaurant and she found SeoulZip on Yelp-so we headed out there. Driving from Natomas it was a bit of a drive but I'm always down to try a new spot when she is in town. The parking situation at this restaurant was pretty nice-they share a big lot with many businesses,so parking was ample. We walked in towards the end of the night,like around 830pm,only a few people in there,but it was late. They have a pretty decent-sized restaurant with lots of tables,so I would feel comfortable going there with limited wait time most days. We sat down and they have a pretty decent sized menu with lots of options,but I was pretty sure I knew what we wanted. We went with Soft Tofu Soup($19.99). We also went with two orders of Dolsot Bibimbap ($20.99) Lastly we went with an order of their YangYum Chicken Wings($25.99) They provided us with complimentary Banchan as well-almost everything they provided was standard and they were yummy-I'd say the three of us ate about 90% of it-so good. The food came out pretty fast starting with the chicken wings. Overall the wings were pretty tasty and juicy but just a tad sweet for my taste. I tend to prefer my food on the spicier side. The soup came out next and it was sizzling. I really enjoyed the awesome flavor of the broth, very tasty and would order this again without hesitation. Now my son and I both got the Bibimbap and we both came to the same conclusions. -Aesthetic-perfect-almost didn't want to eat it. -Temperature-so hot with crunchy vegetables -loving it -Ingredients-perfect mixture of rice,meat,vegetables and egg -Taste-every bite was better than the last one and had me looking forward to the next bite. Easily my favorite Bibimbap I've had so far. Overall I would say I had a wonderful visit with my son and daughter and was so very happy that my daughter visiting me from Texas got me to add another great restaurant to my Sacramento resume. Just in case anyone is on the fence-traditional Korean cuisine is absolutely spectacular and I recommend that everyone should try it-it's so much more diverse than just Korean BBQ.

Korean cuisine is…read moreone of our favorites and will keep you full, especially right before the 2-hr drive back to the Bay Area on Jul 4 weekend. Seoulzip is located in a big shopping center and is a good-sized restaurants. Portions were generous and overall food was excellent with just one hiccup. The BBQ Chicken came on a sizzling platter, but initially about 20% of the chicken was undercooked and had pinkness. They took it back and re-cooked it to 109% doneness. Bulgolgi is our son's favorite and he ate most of it. The meat was sliced thicker than most other places but flavors were otherwise good and I like the level of sauce. Its easy to go overboard on sauce. The free banchan was excellent. as was their pork seafood tofu soup (mild spiciness). Wife felt it was one of the better Soondubus she's had.

This is probably the top Korean spot that I've been to that has given SO many banchan and all very diverse ones at that. Note that they don't refill your banchan unlike other spots that do. The bowls of rice were also much bigger than we expected since other spots typically give smaller bowls of rice so the 3 bowls that came along with our orders were sufficient for our group. Service overall was subpar. Some of the waitresses were nice but not super attentive.

    I travel 2 hours up to sac for their food and chose it as my uc davis graduation dinner to describe…read morehow much I love OZ. This place is definitely better than Blue house all the way. Go during the dinner hours because my boyfriend and I love the royal galbi and sesame beef. I crave their cajun fries all the time. If you want to eat like me, it's the lettuce wrap with woobesal and royal galbi dipped in Ssamjung with Cajun fries, sweet kimchi, steamed egg, and mushrooms cooked with the royal galbi sauce. Cons: Be sure to join the waitlist during busy hours because the wait time can get long. Lettuce wraps cost extra. Their desserts are sesame balls or taiyaki. I honestly prefer the scoop of ice cream. And their bathrooms have no paper towels.

    Caveat: I've only been here for lunch during the week so can't speak to service and ambience at…read moredinner or on weekends. That being said, OZ has become the new favorite K-BBQ spot for my husband and I. We were huge fans of Blue House and when they closed for renovations we had to find a new place. Others we have tried are "meh". We stumbled upon OZ on our way out to Smile Market on Bradshaw and are we thrilled we did! We never have issues finding parking and it's great they have their own lot. We have also never had to wait more than 5-10 mins to be seated. Even at their busiest, it seems they are able to seat us quickly. The quality of the meat is great. The OZ Galbi is my favorite. Everything is tender, well seasoned and I like that they don't bring huge portions. I can order as often as I want without wasting food and I don't leave eating ill and with the meat sweats. The service is consistently good, my servers have all been very friendly and helpful. Even when they are busy, they always seem to know when I need a water refill or more meat. The only downside is that they do charge extra for the lettuce and garlic/jalapeños that I like to eat with my meat. But it's only a couple of dollars so it's not a big deal. Their banchan is tasty, but I do wish they offered the egg jjim or the tofu soup as options for lunch too. These are minor though as everything else about OZ continues to bring me back as my favorite K-BBQ.

    I recently came with friends to Pine Tree House and it did not disappoint!…read more The banchan selection was generous with a nice variety, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The seafood pancake stood out, as it was crispy on the outside, packed with flavor, and really satisfying. We tried various soups, and my personal favorite was a spicy soup that had a variety of seafood including crab, squid, and octopus, and a decent portion of noodles. Solid spot with great portions and comforting dishes!

    Really good! We enjoyed a dinner for four and ordered the fried chicken wings, seafood tofu soup,…read moreand japchae (stir fried noodles). Their fried chicken wings were crispy but not the usual KFC that I've had in many other restaurants. I'm not sure that we would get this dish again, but my daughter enjoyed it with the sweet sauce on the side for dipping. The seafood tofu soup came out bubbling hot (but with no egg to crack into the soup) and had a nice sweet seafood flavor. The japchae was as expected and had a nice balance of noodles to meat and veggies. I tend to judge Korean restaurants by their banchan dishes, and overall I think Pine Tree House's banchan dishes were quite flavorful. My favorite was the salad (romaine) with sweet and spicy dressing/sauce. Other solid banchan included the kim chee (with came with scissors for cutting), fish cakes, green pepper, tofu, and bean sprouts. Depending on your taste, you may or may not enjoy the seaweed. The banchan dishes did not not all taste the same (which is a good thing). Service was friendly. They checked on us several times. When my daughter wanted more tofu, I asked if we could have tofu but with no sauce on top, and they had no problems making that accommodation. They had soft music playing in the background and a clean bathroom. As we explore the Korean food scene in the greater Sacramento area, we will definitely keep Pine Tree House in mind for their tasty banchan and friendly service.
