Opening in 2015 in the heart of Koreatown in Midtown Manhattan, the Korean restaurant, Her Name is Han, was a great place for my wife and me to come for lunch during our 2nd day in NYC. They have great reviews and it is definitely warranted. The restaurant has a solid website, giving accurate information about the hours and menu. It indicated that weekday lunch time would be a good time to try their value-based lunch menu, letting us sample some of their dishes. We walked over from our hotel just before their opening time of noon, and got in line just as they opened. It was a decent size queue, but the dining space inside was large, and everyone in line was able to be seated (including us). Our main server was Jiwoong, and she was lovely throughout. A carafe of tap water was provided with two glasses, so we could refill our own water (I love this about Korean restaurants...wish other restaurants did something similar). Multiple servers interacted with us throughout, and the beautifully prepared food was delivered exactly on time, with the proper temperature. We ended up ordering 4 things. The non-ipa beer on tap was Ball Lightning Pilsner ($9 for 12 oz) and it was OK. Fried Cod Appetizer ($15) - coming out first, the five chunks of lightly deep fried cod was OK, enhanced by the tartar like sauce. There are four choices from the Lunch Premium Bapsang (a set meal with rice, Japanese equivalent is Teishoku), and we chose two of them. I had the Grilled Atka Mackerel ($19), and my wife had the Spicy Pork BBQ ($21). Both came with white rice, a light bean sprout soup (decent), kimchi (not my favorite), a simple green leaf salad, 3 banchans (loved the fish cakes), some grapes, and a light custard based dessert (which was good). I liked my mackerel, well prepared and fried. The pork was indeed spicy with good flavor. Reading about the restaurant later, learnt that the name came to the founder, meaning two things. 'Han' represents a uniquely Korean emotion of mixed grief, sadness, and hidden resentment...we know that we shouldn't feel this way, but we feel a bit better that other Koreans feel it too. It is also the last name of the founder's mother (most Koreans keep their last name after marriage), so the name is an homage (that's what I read on their facebook page) to her. The restaurant is part of the Resy network, and thus using our AMEX provided a $20 statement credit (once a month...this is my favorite sort of credit since the credit is entirely funded by AMEX, and the restaurant gets their full charged amount). Payment was handled at the table, and we were out in under an hour. As we were leaving, we noticed that there now was a queue to get in, so we came at the right time. In terms of the food, I thought the overall taste was good, but the service, extremely reasonable prices, beautiful presentation, and just the overall atmosphere bumped this up to a great rating. read more

Absolutely amazing - I played it safe with Bibimbap - the flavor and the sides were outstanding. I should have picked one of their specials ! Everyone was very kind - food came out hot and just delicious. I know why there is always a wait for walk ins - check this place out - this will be in heavy rotation every time I find myself in the city! read more

there is a REASON this is my top korean restaurant. stir fried baby octopus: portions were massive. octopus was just barely cooked so it was super tender. paired with the smoky gochujang sauce it was an absolute rice thief. seafood soondubu: i cannot emphasize how much i love her name is han's soup base because it was so rich and multi-faceted (unlike men on hinge) and just slightly sweet from the plentiful seafood that i literally ascended. tofu tasted homemade because the soy flavor was quite strong and the texture is better than storebought. omg and the crab. it was so 鲜 and stuffed with meat. the shell was also super soft so maybe they used a korean crab?? idk, i need that crab again asap. clams were pLumP and juicy as well but the shrimp was quite disappointing. overall so yum and so delicious, i waddled out looking like the monopoly man afterwards. read more

Came here for a weekday dinner with a reservation. Service was just ok and some dishes I enjoyed more than others, but overall I think the food is pretty good and I would check it out if you're craving Korean flavors / dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is super causal - there isn't really an "ambiance" to it. But a good casual post work spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the below for two people: -Kumquat Caesar: enjoyed. Honestly takes like a normal caesar salad (done well). Kumquats are a really nice touch. Nice accompaniment to the heavier dishes. -KFC: pretty standard for Korean fried chicken, but enjoyed. -Kimchi Pancake: I couldn't really taste the cheese, but this was good and I'd order again. Great to share. -Grilled Bulgogi: flavorful, lean. Would order again. -Spicy Grilled Pork Japchae: this was our least favorite dish. Not sure if something was off in the kitchen, but this didn't taste like japchae at all. We didn't finish and I wouldn't order again. read more

This restaurant ended up being one of my favorite meals of the trip. We had a resy for 11PM on a sunday night and arrived about 15 minutes late, but there's a grace period. The first thing I noticed was the plates. I actually looked them up hoping to buy them but they're custom made for the restaurant and feature their own logo. Sad!! The banchan was excellent, especially the kimchi. It was very fresh and was one of the highlights of the meal. What I liked most about the food overall was how clean everything tasted. Nothing felt greasy, heavy or too salty. The flavors were balanced and very comforting. We ordered the pork bossam, kimchi pancake, and chicken kalguksu. The pork was tender and had a clean flavor that really let the quality of the meat come out. The kimchi pancake was topped with a poached egg which was interesting.... Personally, the poached egg addition wasn't really for me, but my friend loved it. The pancake itself was crispy flavorful. The chicken kalguksu was exactly what I want when I'm craving comforting and warm food at 11 PM after watching a musical. The broth was light but flavorful, and the noodles had a good chew. It felt homemade!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was very very cozy and nice. The interior is warm and cozy and intimate, it's great for a night with friends, or even a date night!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love any spot with soft lighting. Even late at night, the restaurant felt relaxed and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was also great. The food came out quickly, and every staff member that came to our table was very friendly. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside has a very homey type of feel to it and the staff are always very nice and attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My absolute favorite dish has to be the spicy pork bbq! Sooo delicious and I love that their side dishes are always changing depending on the day. Their overall lunch menu is also really good for the price ($19) and you get so much food. I'm always left wanting more. I guess I will just have to wait till my next trip to NYC to eat at my favorite restaurant again. So sad... read more

We were 2nd line on a Sunday at 11:45am and it looks like everyone in line was able to get seated in the first round. Staff were very speedy and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the old school film decor of the restaurant as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was limited to the brunch menu, but still lots of yummy options. I got the spicy raw salmon bibimbap which came with a spread of ban chan (sides), a soup, and salad. All the ingredients in the bibimbap, including the salmon, were incredibly fresh and delicious. The flavors all mixed together perfectly. It seemed like a simple dish, but I truly enjoyed every bite so much! Peach matcha was very peach forward (but did not overpower the matcha either) and very refreshing as well. read more

Second trip to HNIH! Most places in Ktown are closed until the evening so it's nice that HNIH offers a lunch menu - the bapsangs I think is pretty worth for a $20 meal because they come with a lot of side dishes, and I personally found it very filling. I got the tuna bibimbap - which had great quality tuna btw - and it had a pretty good proportion of tuna to the rest of the toppings. The quinoa (or maybe it was the roe) was very crunchy and the veggies were very refreshing, complemented by the sweet and spicy sauce. My friend got the spicy pork bapsang, which was also very good but apparently very spicy. Overall the meals weren't too heavy and on the cleaner side (maybe excluding the spiciness) with a variety of bites that'll satisfy your Korean cravings! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went on a Wednesday around 12pm, which was around the time the restaurant quickly got packed but service was still very helpful and it's a cute little spot to catch up with friends, family, etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Visiting New York Korea town and this place is the amazing I wanted to go back the next day! We got the chicken karrage, classic friend chicken with a mild spice sauce. We went during lunch so we got the lunch sets. The army stew was filling and we couldn't even finish half the bowl. The spicy bbq we could not stop eating! All side dishes complimented very well. The service was quick and friendly. This place gets packed the minute it opens so best to get a reservation. I will definitely come back next time I come to NYC! read more

I've been here for both brunch and dinner. It's been ok each time and I don't think the flavors here are my taste. For brunch, I tried the kimchi shakshuka and chicken risotto. I don't know how to describe it but there was something off about both. It sounded fancier and tastier than it actually was. Nothing memorable and I likely wouldn't get it again. For dinner, I've tried their seafood pancake. It's good. However, for the mains, I don't recall much from it either because it wasn't very memorable. I got a hot pot, it was ok. I also got the bossam and definitely had better in other spots in ktown. Overall, just a very average spot. read more

Her Name Is Han ended up being one of those unexpectedly great meals. We walked in with little to no expectations and left completely satisfied. We were initially worried about the wait, but the turnaround was surprisingly quick. We ordered the galbi, seafood pancake, and a stew, and were honestly caught off guard by how large the portions were. Everything was packed with flavor. The pancake had a great crisp, the stew was hearty and comforting, and the galbi was rich and well-prepared. It is one of those meals we still think about months later. I would highly recommend it. read more

Solid spot, but I wouldn't wait in line for this place or fight for a reservation. I think the hype has died down since I went though?

10/10. Was looking for a place to try raw marinated crab, and this place was highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. We came on a Friday night we made reservation reservations in advance. I definitely recommend you to make a reservations in advance. They were super packed. Inside is very cute and homey, a good amount of seating in the front and the back and great service. They have very cute plate settings. They have great side dishes, all very delicious, my favorite was the spicy fish cake and you can ask for more! We ordered an appetizer, which was the KFC the Korean fried chicken. It was so crispy so light so juicy very delicious season perfectly. The spicy raw marinated crab, SO FRESH, it was very spicy, but a good kind of spicy, definitely recommend it with some hot steam rice so delicious so flavorful. Since the weather was cold, we also wanted something warm so we ordered a soup, the Yuzu Chicken Noodle Soup, it came with Noodles with homemade chicken broth, boiled chicken, yuzu oil, chives, and black sesame. It was such a unique taste, you can taste like lime leaves flavor, but good balance. I will definitely come back. I see that they have great lunch options. 100% recommend if you're ever in the city to try this place! read more

It's a solid 3.75/5 Another modern, trendy Korean restaurant with the vibe of a lively Seoul pub. Unfortunately, this one felt overrated. K.F.C (Korean Fried Chicken) was tasty with nice chunks of chicken, but the exterior could have been crispier. Budae Hot Pot lacked depth in the broth, although I understand they may be trying to cater to a broader audience. It did have a good variety of ingredients, but the beans were unusual--I've never seen beans included in this soup before. We asked for them to be removed, but they were forgotten. The yuzu beer looked like it was made with fresh yuzu and was served nice and cold. However, it was extremely sweet. It's hard to imagine that level of sweetness without added sugar. The seating is also very tight, and it's difficult to move comfortably. Overall, the concept and atmosphere are fun, but the food and experience didn't quite live up to the hype read more

Excellent Korean fusion food! We went there for weekend lunch/brunch and found the dishes really innovative. The portions are generous (we were so full!) and really yummy. The service was excellent - attentive and thoughtful without being intrusive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is also super cute! Felt warm and cool without being too stuffy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The only negative is that's super popular right now, so it's hard to a get a seat. Plan ahead and get reservations in advance! read more

A really cute & cozy, modern-style Korean restaurant in Koreatown! Service was really amazing (attentive and quick)! Inside is well-lit and not too loud. And I saw both big and smaller parties fit inside. I came alone and wanted to try as much as I could. The mini bossam plus the shrimp & pepper pancake was perfect! The bossam was very tender and the white kimchi and pickled daikons on the side were the perfect pairing. (I was expecting some greens to wrap it in though....) The shrimp and pepper pancake was yummy and had a good sauce, I do wish it was crunchier though. All the banchan was delicious! (The white kimchi was my favorite and they gave me more!) Then I finished off my meal with the black sesame ice cream; so yummy, perfectly sweet, and paired well with the freeze-dried strawberries and matcha crumble!! (Only complaint: the ice creams needs more black sesame flavor!) Overall, an amazing Korean restaurant with great service and high quality food! You might want a reservation if your party is more than yourself though! read more

Came here on a Friday evening with a reservation, and was seated very quickly. It had a very modern interior with dim lighting. They brought us 4 small banchan dishes, which they did not refill throughout the evening. I found the small plates here to be more delicious than the large ones. I really liked the cheesiness and kimchi flavors in the kimchi pancake, and it was both chewy and crispy at the same time. The poached egg it came with gave it a good touch too. The black sesame tofu was very unique. I enjoyed the different flavors and textures in the bite, with the creaminess of the tofu and the crispiness of the toppings. The galbi hot pot wasn't super flavorful, but it was very homey and comforting and came with two bowls of rice. The galbi was very tender. The bossam stood out to me the least, but wasn't too fatty. Overall, it was a very delicious meal! read more

This K-town classic for Korean food is a super popular spot for both their brunch and dinner. The inside is cozy and I highly recommend a reservation as it gets super busy. Service is quick and very polite. I came for their dinner service and tried their kimchi pancake with a poached egg, fried cod, and bibimbap. Everything was delicious, including their banchan. The favorite of the night was their fried cod as the fish was fried so delicately and didn't feel oily at all. And, their maesaengi sauce for the fish paired so well and was like nothing I've had before. I wish I was hungrier when I went to be able to try more of their dishes. Will definitely have to come back to try their brunch sets! read more

It was a fine experience, nothing extraordinary. Maybe the expectation was a tad on the high side with all the fantastical reviews online and the alluring pictures on social media. Naturally, one had to go to taste what it was all about. Surprisingly packed on a random Monday, and we were glad we made a reservation. Odd setup in the front caused some confusion since there wasn't a host at the door and we wandered to the back before an employee told us someone will seat us eventually but had to go backwards to the entrance. With uncertainty, my friend got the spicy pork and I ordered the machete for lunch. I enjoyed the fried cod and chicken appetizers more. My friend was sad she didn't get the bibimbap instead. When asked what her thoughts are midway through the meal, she responded, "It isn't bad, but it isn't great." I understood her completely. One last thing, the ice cream dessert needs an upgrade with the presentation. When the plate was presented to us, I couldn't help myself and chuckled. I asked my buddy if she too thought that the dried strawberries looked like cat food. She laughed, knowing exactly what I meant. By golly, it's like eating kibble! They can consider slicing the strawberries into slivers, at least it'll be far more pleasing to the eyes! read more

I heard a lot of great things about this place and was excited to check it out while I was in New York. Of course there were no reservations day of, but we waited about 15 minutes and we're seated as walk-ins. We ordered two things to share, and it was more than enough food. We ordered C2: Three kinds of Ham, Rice Cake, Ramen, Beans, Vegetables & Cheese in Veggie Broth. This was absolutely delicious! A huge portion you have to share it. It had a lot of meat and was a very hearty meal. We even had leftovers. We also got the Kimchee pancake, it was a great size to share. It was well cooked and well flavored and we really enjoyed it. The one thing I will say about the service is that one of waiters we just randomly approach the table and stare at us until we started talking to them, and when we tried to order drinks, he walked away. Other than that, I find this place to be a very affordable and fun night out with friends. It definitely gave a very homey vibe and there was a lot of takeout and delivery orders. read more

Such a cute cozy restaurant. I was able to get a table by the window and had a lovely time here. Hallabong spritz: 10/10 Crisp and refreshing, not too sweet. It went very well with my meal! Banchan: I got bok choy, chicken sausages, fish cake, and kimchi. These were pretty good, not the best banchan I've had though and wish there was more variety Black sesame tofu: 9/10 This was very unique! I love black sesame and the flavor really came through. The crispy bits on top were also super yummy Bossam: 8/10 The small was a good portion! Didn't have that pork smell and didn't feel too fatty either. The white kimchi and sauce that came with is was delicious and helped with the richness read more

I just came to have dinner with a friend and had a great time. We showed up on a weekday around 5:15p and there were only 3-4 tables available. By the time we left there was a line with over 20 people outside! The place is popular, so either come early or be prepared to wait (in the cold), as they don't take reservations. We had the scallion and shrimp pancake (very filling), the fried cod (yummy), the bulgogi (high quality ground beef) and the spicy pork, which in my opinion was the best dish of the night. I wouldn't consider this to be one of the top Korean meals I've ever had, but the food was solid and came out quickly. I'd definitely return to taste more options. read more

Okay where to start... Design wise, it was aesthetic and cozy inside, with ample room for dine in. Loved the minimalist aspect interior and the aesthetics of how dishes and banchans were presented. I came 4 minutes after they opened for lunch and there was already a small line that had formed. Luckily didn't have to wait too long despite not making reservations. Service was great, incredibly attentive and quick. Highly recommend their Yuzu Chicken Moodle Soup lunch special. This is a pretty good deal concerning the many sides that came with the dish. The broth was light but flavorful, the noodles were chewy and bouncy, and the chicken was juicy and tender. Also really enjoyed their sides, especially the watercress, potatoes and that black sesame tofu!!! Finished off my meal with some tiramisu which I also recommend. I would come here everyday for lunch if I could!!! read more

Her name is.. deliciousness! We stopped by before a concert at MSG. Service was quick so we had plenty of time to enjoy the unique modern Korean dishes. Highlights were the black sesame tofu. Very filling but rich and different. A little sweet; almost like ice cream in a strangely weird and good way. The kimchi pancake was also something unique and I really enjoyed that with the over medium egg to drizzle on top. The pork belly dish had a bit of heat to it. Big portion but it was like a very good hot sauce BBQ and other a bit of sweetness to round it out. Loved this dish too. Service was perfection and again, it had a nice interior if a bit dark. Still a cool place to go. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Service was more impressive than the food. I saw the name of this place and had to go, obviously, as MY name is HAN, lol. I hadn't realized how popular this place was until I tried to make reservations. We decided on the 5pm res on a Wednesday. There was a sizable group of waiting to get at that time--most of them on the younger side, it must be noted. The ambiance was funky-casual, but the service was very professional from the start. We started with some cocktails: Maple Fashioned for me, and a Dirty Shirley for him. Tasty, but a bit on the sweeter side and not that strong. The menu was very meat-centric, as to be expected, but there were enough veg options for a satisfying meal: - banchan (nice variety, and they were able to give us only veg ones) - Chilled tofu with black sesame dressing, topped with fried onion and beet (my favorite and the most unexpected--super tender tofu with a rich nutty sauce topped with delightfully crunchy fried topping) - 2 pc Corn and Cream Croquettes (Great crunchy panko crust with a rich, creamy filling, served atop mixed greens) - Veg-only bibimbap (good, but nothing extraordinary) Overall a fun night out and worth trying, but not sure if it's a must revisit for us. read more

I came here with my friends for a weekday LUNCH SPECIAL. In general, this restaurant can be seen as pricey in terms of Korean meals, which it is. But, I think that the lunch deal can be worth it. It includes these bapsang & hot pot meals which includes a main dish with rice, kimchi & some side dishes. They have several options that one can find something that they enjoy and they are good all-rounder kind of meals. My friends and I decided to start with the fried mushroom which was quite unique. It was way more bigger & crispier than I had expected (in a good way). This is a decent size shareable appetizer. I personally opted for the mini budae (army stew) hot pot as my main meal. It is not for those who cannot tolerate spice because it's red & spicy to taste. This dish has so many variety of meats. It also has rice cake, beans & cheese which really makes for a filling meal. After I ate this, I was fully bloated. It had so much content that I had to digest for minutes to hours after I had left the store. In general, it's a great meal. I definitely think it does cater to the foreigner guests to try traditional Korean bapsangs as apparent by their sweet tasting kimchi. But as a Korean myself, I'm glad that I was able to try it once and could see myself potentially coming back. read more

I recently dined at Her Name Is Han on a Wednesday evening, and even midweek it was not easy to get a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small, packed place and clearly in high demand, which already tells you a lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is cozy and charming, with an authentic feel that still works for a variety of taste preferences.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with soju, which was smooth and delicious, a perfect way to begin the meal. For appetizers, we ordered the black sesame tofu and rice cakes. The tofu was outstanding, silky and flavorful, with a generous portion for around eleven dollars. The rice cakes were exactly how I like them, nicely chewy and very satisfying. For the main, we shared a seafood and tofu hot pot, and that completely stole the show. It was large enough for about four people, filled with a rich, flavorful broth and a generous amount of seafood. Every bite had depth and warmth and just kept getting better. The service was good overall. When we asked them to pack our leftover food, they accidentally threw away the leftover soup. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary tiramisu and black sesame ice cream. The black sesame ice cream was a highlight for me and definitely left a strong impression. Overall, the meal came to about fifty to sixty dollars per person, which felt very reasonable for the quality and experience. Between the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience, this is a place I would definitely return to. read more

We were able to walk in with a 15min wait on a Sunday night. We had their special collaboration makgeolli which was just ok. Then we had their sesame tofu which was our fave with good flavors and textures. The spicy crab was on point while having a good level of heat. As they say in Korea, "It's a rice thief." All you need is bowls of rice and that crab sauce. Even the shell was tender which I don't get cuz I make it at home and the hard shell makes my mouth hurt. Maybe they use a special crab. The seafood tofu soup was also good - bigger than we thought it'd be. We ended with both of their desserts and those were the least favorite of our food experience there. Skip that and stick to the main. Would return and recommend! read more

Mine came with white rice, kimchi, 3 veggie side dishes, green salad, black sesame tofu and an orange. Everything was exceptionally delicious. And for $20 you get a great amount of food.
