Why all such negative reviews? I thought this was a pretty solid place. I usually come to the food court to grab takeout for workdays. Decided to try Hanok's kimchi bogeumbap. It was pretty good. The portions were a little small for 9$, but nothing super notable. What really killed it for me was the tiny sides that they give. Like seriously? I got like a tiny serving of squid and kimchi and soup... versus if you eat there, they give you veggies and significantly better sides. Will I come back again? Probably not. But it's still a decent place to eat at. read more

The bibimbap* here is average. Portions are smaller, not as much mix vegetables, and the price is slightly cheaper. ___________ * A signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed rice". Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped sautéed and seasoned vegetables and chili pepper paste. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating read more

Located right in K-town, this food court area is home to many different food choices. FOOD: I ordered the tofu bibimbap from here and it was very good! Nothing super good, but nothing super bad and not a bad serving for $8.99. All dishes here come with banchan (small side dishes)! The soup was one of my favorite parts about the meal. There's also a side of hot sauce and I definitely recommend adding some spice to your meal. ATMOSPHERE: Cafeteria can get crowded, but there's 3 floors worth of seating. OVERALL: Good Korean food for a good price. read more

It took me forever to pick a menu since foodgallery32 offers lots of different food. I was looking for something that's not too heavy. The cashier actually recommended me a hot stonebowl bibimbap. It was my first time trying it. I like that bibimbap has assorted vegetables, also comes with egg. I also love that red hot sauce. The one i had was with ground beef but actually i was told that all the bibimbap can be served in hot stonebowl which I recommend. I'll come back next time to try different bibimbap. read more

This is aite. I got the chicken bibimbap. It's definitely on the salty side. It's not really all that flavorful or satisfying. It gets the job done though if you want a filling meal. But then again for like 10 bucks you can do much better. The lack of quality is just really obvious. Honestly, the more I go to the Food Gallery 32, the less I like it.

I've been here a couple of times and everything I've ordered has just been ok. I've ordered the kimchi fried rice, the yookaejang, and the soondubu. Everything is cheap ~$10, but the food is definitely food court quality. The worst thing I've probably had here is the kimchi fried rice--there was literally no flavor. I feel like it's so each to make kimchi fried rice taste good, but not here. If you must eat in the food court, this place is an okay option with traditional korean dishes, but don't expect amazing food!

I used to frequent Hanok a lot when I was a high schooler since Ktown was the cool hangout spot. I always ordered the spicy pork bokum and it was delicious back then. But not anymore. The last time I ordered the same dish to go, it was not on par with how it had tasted in the past. The pork meat was fatty and not well marinated. The sauce was super watery, instead of the thick spicy gochujang bqq sauce you would expect. Maybe it's because I didn't eat in house; I'm not sure. It just wasn't good. Today I thought I'd give Hanok another try since I'm working nearby. I decided to order the chicken bibimbap because I wanted a balanced meal of rice, veggies, and protein. This was by far the worst bibimbap I have ever eaten. I don't even think it's worthy to call it bibimbap. The chicken was breast meat cut into small pieces and un-marinated. I thought that was fine since there's the gochujang sauce, but I was definitely surprised and frankly upset to find out that the chicken was cold. Instead of the usual spinach, the dish had lettuce and a bunch ofcarrots and bean sprouts. The gochujang again was runny and not very spicy - not sure if they dilute it or not. I felt like I was eating a salad instead of bibimbap since everything was cold and the rice was served on the side. But their service was great and the staff were nice. Overall, for the price of the dish (which is typical of bibimbap prices in Ktown), I would not order it again. I don't think I'll return to Hanok for lunch for the time being. read more

I was a bit surprised when initially reading the reviews because I didn't think it could be that bad. I ordered two dishes, the pork soft tofu soup and the yook gae jang. Both of them were nearly meatless, the soup was basically flavored water and the yook gae jang was about 70% "soup". My boyfriend and I ended up adding more salt which made it taste better. I understand the pandemic has made it difficult for a lot of small businesses, but I think more effort and care could've been put into the dishes. In my opinion, this was not worth $30. read more

The review is intended for KOREA HOUSE, which is inside of Hanok. So, you know that feeling you get when you find a deal so good, it makes you wish it can just be around forever? That's the feeling I got about this place. I ordered the standard bibimbop (#3), and the tofu one (#4), and this is one of the best values I've experienced for bibimbop in the area. Both in terms of quality, and price. It was very savory tasting, and the textures were done just the way I like on everything. What I mean by that is, sometimes, bibimbops can be mushy, and some people might like that, but I like vegetables to have some bite to them, just minimally cooked. When minimally cooked, vegetables tend to have more flavor in my opinion. Also, the whole thing tasted like it was seasoned perfectly with salt or some kind of broth I'm not sure. Sometimes, most of the flavor comes from the added pepper sauce, and in this case, both seasoning and flavor was spot on. I've had other bibimbops in the area, and this was one of my favorite, and cheaper by about $4-5 (this one was $8-9, vs others which can be $13-15). I think the price is low because it's a food court setting. So if you don't mind the ambiance, then I highly recommend this as the go-to place for low-price bibimbop. And, save room for dessert if you dare. The highly popular dessert place, The Spot, is just 2 floors up. If you go there, it is my strong opinion that the honey toast is the best thing to get, but there are other people who disagree with me and will strongly opt for the green tea lava cake. Enjoy! read more

Decided to get some Korean food today since I was meeting my cousin who works in the area. We tried to go to Five Senses but there was a long wait as it was dinner time, so we went to the food court. We settled on Hanok. Between the both of us we ordered the small kalbi (around $13), tofu soup (around $9), and kimchi and chicken fried rice (around$11). Had literally 3 "pieces" of the kalbi when my cousin pointed out that it was all bone that I bought. Literally no meat whatsoever on it! I'm not even a big meat eater but homegirl did not pay $13 for bone. Will never come back here again and would definitely not recommend it. The saying goes you get what you paid for but this place is too stingy for even food court standards. You are better off paying ten bucks more to get real korean food elsewhere. read more

Got the chicken bulgoki, large portion, and it was pretty good. Good amount of meat and I liked that it was all chicken breast. I ordered it spicy, but sadly it didn't have too much of a kick to it. In addition to the chicken it comes with white rice and the lunch set including miso soup with fried tofu, kimchi, octopus, and a cabbage salad with ginger dressing. I'm not sure if I'd get this dish again, but I'd go back for the soups and stews which looked amazing as they came out of the kitchen. I ordered mine to go but clearly the move is to eat it there. The stews come in a great hot pot while the meat dishes are all served on sizzling platters. Next time I'll set aside some more time for lunch have a seat and enjoy a meal there in the food gallery. read more

Came to this Korean food court for an early Sunday dinner. I walked through this place briefly before and was pretty excited about it - it basically features a number of different Korean vendors offering food from various windows, with open seating area you can sit down for your meal at. The positives: there is a good variety to choose from, from Korean buns to Red Mango fro-yo, and then places featuring more traditional korean dishes such as bibimbap, etc. I ordered bimbimbap bulgogi from one of the kiosks which was $11. Although that's not expensive for NYC, I expected more than what I got, which was a small portion of cold, not-very-fresh vegetables, a side of lukewarm rice, beef with an egg which seemed like it had been pre-cooked, and very small portions of kimchi and the usual korean sides. When you're finished with your meal, you're asked to self-bus your tray, which is fine, but the closet-like space they send you to do so was both confusing and messy/dirty, with no staff members there to give any direction. Ditto on the seats themselves, which could have used a scrub-down... Overall, there are definitely better places on 32nd street to get good Korean food in the $10-$15 range. I'd come back for the Red Mango but that's about it. read more

AVOID AT ALL COST!!! The girl at the counter was plain rude and condescending. When the order was up, I told the girl that I wanted it to-go instead. She snapped and blamed me with an attitude: "Well, you should have mentioned that earlier". The cashier DID NOT ask at the outset if I wanted the order to-go and I forgot to mention that. I have only visited Food Gallery a few times so I wasn't aware that food is typically served for eat-in customers and I was supposed to mention that in advance. The experience was just terrible and unpleasant. Felt a little better reading through Yelp comments to know I wasn't the only one treated like this. To be fair, the food was good, but I'm sure there are other places with better service within this price range and quality. read more

This is a review for cashier Lilian. I ordered bbq combo via Ubereats last night and waited almost an hour to get the food delivered. At this point i was getting tired and upset for waiting so long. Then i got a call from the restaurant, the cashier Lilian informed me that my order had been already prepared and ready for pickup for awhile but there was no available ubereats delivery partner coming so she's afraid ubereats would cancel the order soon automatically. I was so frustrated when I heard this but she said she was willing to wait for me if i was able to pick it up for myself. So i ended up picking it up by myself since i was so starving and it was too late to order other restaurants. I got there around 11:20pm but the cashier was still waiting for me, she was really sweet and nice. I'll definitely come back here again and eat the food in house. And i got my refund the next day from ubereats since they canceled my order because they don't have enough delivery workers to deliver the food!! read more

I will say, though, they were pretty stingy with the banchan. We were only given kimchi and sweet potato. Kkanpung Chicken - The flavor was on point! It had a nice little kick, although I definitely wouldn't have minded if it were spicier. The chicken was super crispy and juicy, so I really enjoyed this one. Octopus Tteokbokki - MUST ORDER! Easily one of my favorite dishes of the night. The sauce was sweet and paired so well with the baby octopus. I could've easily eaten the whole plate myself. Truffle Potato Pancake - This was really popular, but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. I could barely taste the truffle and didn't think it was anything that special. It was pretty meh for me, so I'd skip this one. Hojok Galbi - The meat was very tender, but unfortunately, it was a little dry. It was a solid dish, but nothing that really blew me away. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu!

They have a variety of the standard fare Korean options at reasonable prices. We tried the ddukbokki and bulgolgi dupbap which were both good.

The restaurant itself is huge, with two stories, yet it still has a lively and comfortable atmosphere. The menu is extensive, with plenty of traditional Korean dishes, and the lunch specials offer especially good value for the quality and portions. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the galbi-jjim (갈비찜) and tteokbokki (떡볶이) were the standouts. The galbi-jjim was rich, tender, and deeply flavorful, while the tteokbokki had that satisfying, authentic Korean flavor I look for.

It was a shame because this was easily one of my favorite meals in NYC, but I don't know if I would return solely due to the service.

The service was attentive without being overbearing, and our waiter was ready to provide recommendations. The food was amazing for the price, but I liked some items more than others. I found the wings to be on the lighter side - it's not greasy, but it would not hit the spot if you are craving korean fried chicken. The shrimp pancakes were on the fluffier side, a bit bland, but I prefer flatter and crisper seafood pancakes. The yukhoe was alright, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I would recommend getting the acorn jelly, asparagus japchae, and/or hoe muchim for apps. I kept going back to them. The bossam was very yummy and fresh, and I very much enjoyed the cold noodles. Both of these items I would highly recommend getting. What really stole my heart was the burdock desert. It was not too sweet, perfectly creamy, and absolutely one of my top desert bites I've had in the city. I might go back just to order this again. Overall, the dining experience was fantastic would highly recommend giving Moono a try.

I like to frequent the food court in Ktown lane as it provides a variety of options especially when a pair or group of people wants to eat completely different things for lunch or dinner. This was my first time eating at Hanok, and I was completely and utterly disappointed. I will never ever order food from this "stand" again. Maybe it's because all the other stands have had such friendly and inviting cashiers, but I felt the cashiers at Hanok really fell short of that. There were two cashiers who were too busy eating out of a bowl of bibimbap to even care if I was there ready to order. When one of them finally came over, he looked as if I had given him the greatest burden and displeasure for interrupting his little lunch break. Everything they did or said was with great attitude and disgust. The food...was not good. I ordered the Gob Dol(sp?) Bibimbap and it was 80% rice, 18% vegetables, and 2% beef. I know real Korean food, and this fell short of decent Korean food. I don't care to try anything else. Their attitude alone turned off both me and my brother in law on two separate occasions already. From now on, I will walk right past this stand and order from the many other great and delicious stands. read more

I am writing this review as a Korean. I ordered Kimchi Fried Rice this few days ago and I was shocked. There was no kimchi in my kimchi fried rice, only a few pieces of cabbage, and it was an unidentified junk food mixed with rice in a strange red sauce (not fried, but mixed in cheap oil). I still took a bite hoping for a different result, but ended up throwing it away in the trash. It is unacceptable and shameful that the owner of this restaurant sells these food to people as Korean cuisine. If you go to any other Korean restaurant in the area and try the same menu, you will know what I mean. The "Kimchi Fried Rice" sold at this location is no Korean Food, I don't even know what it's supposed to be. I want others to know that Korean food is not supposed to be thrown in the trash after paying for it. Utterly disgusting and waste of money! read more

After being a loyal customer for years, today turned out to be the most disappointing experience I've had here. I usually order either the kalbi or the bulgogi, but lately the portion sizes have been shrinking. It's disheartening to see the quality decline, and at this point, I'm not even sure what caused it. Unfortunately, my meal tonight, the large kalbi, was a letdown. The rice seemed stale and dry, as if it had been leftover from the previous day. Additionally, the portion of kalbi on the plate was surprisingly small, which made me regret my decision to dine here. The side dishes didn't taste as good as they used to, and I had to wait for quite some time before placing my order. I would like to give it another try but after today it's hard to want to come back. read more

I initially had my doubts about ordering soup for delivery, but my craving for Korean food made me cave. I decided to order galbi tang, seafood pancake, army stew, and Sam Gye Tang. I must say, the experience far exceeded my expectations. Out of all the dishes, the Sam Gye Tang was my absolute favorite. Its rich and nourishing flavor made me feel like I was treating my body to some much-needed nutrition. The galbi tang was also noteworthy and left me wanting more. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the delivery order turned out. I highly recommend the Sam Gye Tang and galbi tang, and I will definitely be ordering them again read more

Back when I had the chance to study in the U.S., Korean grocery stores--outside of places like Los Angeles--were pretty limited and small. So the kind of Korean food we had access to was often a bit "Americanized": doenjang stew made with ingredients like button mushrooms, bean sprouts, American-style tofu, zucchini, and sometimes even mixed with miso to soften the smell and make it more familiar to locals. This place reminds me exactly of that era. It's a simple, cafeteria-style spot where you can sit down, eat comfortably, and not worry about tipping or anything complicated. I studied in the Pacific Northwest, but now that I find myself coming to New York frequently for business, this is definitely one of those places I feel like stopping by every now and then. If I remember correctly, it's still run by the same owner (an older Korean lady), which makes it even more special. Personally, I tend to prefer squid stir-fry or bulgogi over pork dishes--maybe not the most typical Korean guy preference--but the spicy pork here is honestly outstanding. If you're visiting or on a business trip, instead of paying premium prices for Korean food that isn't even fine dining, I'd recommend places like this--similar to how Korean students used to go to Gam Mee Ok or the Chinese restaurants in Flushing. For just a couple of dollars more than a Taco Bell combo, you can have a comforting Korean meal that really helps you recover from travel fatigue. Think of this place as New York's version of "Kimbap Heaven"--simple, satisfying, and worth coming back to.

I had a craving for jiajiang myun and they satisfied it. Not particularly stand out, the noodles were fair, maybe a tad over cooked, the black bean sauce quantity was sufficient, overall flavor was ok, though I wish there was a little more pork. For $12.95+tax it was a filling meal. Seating is shared with the rest of the food court, the most open area being usually on the 3rd floor.
