Honestly, the absolute highlight of our night was our server, John. Hobak was pure chaos because of the BTS Arirang promo, but John could not have been sweeter. I was so impressed by how efficient, courteous, and professional he was while running around in such a crazy environment. The entire staff is working so hard during this BTS run-I seriously hope management is giving them some sort of holiday pay for this! LOL As for the rest of the experience, expect a wait. We waited about 2 hours, but the friendly staff made the time pass a bit easier. The Arirang menu was super cute and a lot of fun, and the souvenir card was a great touch. We got the large combo and most of the food was pretty good, except for the bulgogi at the very end, which was way too salty to finish. The only other bummer was the ventilation at our table. It wasn't working the best, so I left the restaurant with really stingy, watery eyes. Overall, it's a bit of a mixed bag with the smoke and the salty bulgogi, but the fun BTS perks and John's incredible service made it worth the trip. Thank you, John!! read more

422. This is an a la carte KBBQ, but the meat quality is definitely better than a lot of AYCE places I've been to. The inside feels like you're actually in Korea. The walls are decorated with previous visits by well know people. I'm so used to AYCE so it's a nice change for someone to cook your order. Even with a la carte, we had plenty of leftovers for two. The wait can be long at times so I would come here when it's off peak. Solid option if you're looking for good quality KBBQ. read more

Never judge a book by its cover. From the outside, Hobak, which means pumpkin in Korean, looks like your standard KBBQ spot. Step inside, though, and suddenly you are transported somewhere that feels straight out of the Euljiro district in downtown Seoul. The welcome sets the tone. The mostly non-Korean staff greet you by shouting something in Korean. I had to ask my Chinese server what it meant. He laughed and said, "Hobak imnida" which translates to "We are Hobak." Kind of silly, but honestly part of the charm. What we did not realize is that Hobak is celebrating its tenth year in business. In Las Vegas, that is no small feat. Restaurants here disappear faster than a weekend bankroll, so a decade says a lot. Also worth noting, Hobak is not AYCE. They offer set menus and à la carte options. We went with the set menu for two, and it was more than enough food. That said, if you are strictly a meat-only person, this might not be your ideal spot. The seafood pancake and kimchi stew deserve just as much attention as the meat! The real surprise though: while it is not AYCE, they quietly rolled out AYCD all you can drink for $14 back in November. Yes, you read that right. So plan accordingly. Bring a DD or call a Lyft because things can escalate quickly. We ended up with two bottles of soju and two large Cass beers, which would have easily been double the AYCD price. Sodas are also included. One of the better deals you will find in this city. Service was excellent across the board. Tyler, who is half Japanese and half White, handled the brisket and short ribs like a pro. Our tattooed Chinese server, who looked intimidating at first glance, turned out to be incredibly friendly and grilled the pork jowl perfectly. Everyone else kept the banchan coming with a smile. By the time we finished, we had to walk laps around the shopping center just to recover. We left full, slightly buzzed, and, fittingly, feeling like a couple of very giant hobaks. read more

Loved the meats, service was good considering it was BTS concert weekend. Banchan was delicious, they also have ice cream for dessert. A little tricky for groups of 5. The meats were tender and flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

I want to give a shoutout to John. Truly the goat server. It was me and my family's first time here at Hobak and we will definitely come back because of him. Very personable, explained how everything works, and cooked the food perfectly. I understand why BTS went here. read more

Hobak Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

OMG. Really good food for a great price. Surprising that we are not compromising quality for price. Got the small combo for a party of two. It was way too much food. We stuffed ourselves and still had one plate of meat left. We got the bento box as a side. That was almost a meal in itself. Had Kim chi, spam and eggs in it. It was delicious. Added bonus of not having to put in the work yourself. Would advise small parties to just a couple plates of meat. Try to come after the lunch crowd, it can fill up. read more

Hobak Korean BBQ is easily one of my family's favorite KBBQ spots, and we've been to quite a few. This place consistently delivers on quality, flavor, and overall experience. The food here is absolutely amazing. The meats are fresh, well-marinated, and packed with flavor. The prices are great for what you get, the portions are perfect, and the menu has a wide variety of options to choose from, so there's something for everyone. Whether you're going with KBBQ favorites or trying something new, you really can't go wrong. While it's a great spot year-round, my family and I especially love coming here during the fall and winter seasons. The atmosphere has a cozy, cabin-like feel that makes it extra enjoyable when it's cold outside. Sitting around the grill with warm food cooking right in front of you just makes it the perfect cold-weather dining spot. The service is also amazing. The staff checks on you often, makes sure everything is running smoothly, and they're always ready to help cook if needed. They're attentive without being overbearing, which we really appreciate. Definitely a place I'd recommend everyone try at least once -- and most likely you'll end up coming back again and again. read more

Hobak Korean BBQ absolutely delivered! We came in with a very large party, and I was genuinely impressed with how smooth and efficient the entire experience was. The staff was moving fast in the best way, constantly bringing out food, cooking the meats perfectly, clearing plates, and checking in without ever making us feel rushed or forgotten. The attentiveness was truly 10/10. The meats were delicious high quality, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, which made the whole meal feel balanced and satisfying. One of my favorite parts was being able to try all the different Korean side dishes. It was such a fun and interesting experience tasting everything, discovering new flavors, and sharing them around the table. It really adds to the whole vibe of Korean BBQ. Great food, incredible service, and an atmosphere that can handle big groups without missing a beat. This place knows what they're doing, and I'll definitely be back. read more

As far as KBBQ experiences go, there aren't many places in Las Vegas that do it better than Hobak. The festive atmosphere, fabulous service, and quality food make it such that they've become my first option whenever I make it to LV. They're not just one of the best restaurants in Chinatown, but certainly in contention with the best of Korean establishments in the entire city. Unlike the mom-n-pop bizes in the area, it should come as no surprise that Hobak is stems from South Korea, where it is a celebrated and successful brand. This location in Las Vegas is their first in the US. Because they're so popular, it's almost always guaranteed there's a wait. Inside there is ample seating for groups and plenty of options for carnivores. The restaurant feels clean and the smells/odors are quite mild for a restaurant with grills going in all directions. #ventilation So much of their quality steps from the fact that you USDA-certified black angus beef and heritage pork. Their banchan feels standard but is high quality in terms of offerings and variety. I'm quite impressed with their aged short ribs, pork belly skirt, steak, brisket, and pork belly. Highly recommended is also there can she cheese, fried rice, and steamed egg. It won't be a total sticker shock for KBBQ enthusiasts, but it won't have the same value as an AYCE spot either. It will however, remain an excellent experience due to food prep, stellar service, and deliberate old school vibe. read more

Hobak Korean BBQ - Green tea ice cream with churros - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Wow oh Wow! Hobak has now made it into the top 5 best KBBQ places I have ever been to. Located in Las Vegas Hobak is a cute themed Korean BBQ restaurant with vents that extend into the table to suck up any smoke. Hobok is not all you can eat but the sets are decently sized and one set which was said to serve 2 people fed me and two others (3 people) with leftovers! When we went we decided to order the beef set which came with beef brisket, cuts of ribeye and marinated meat at the end. It also came with soft tofu soup, steamed egg and tons and tons of banchan which you can get refills on. What was the best part was that the waiters cook the meat for you, and they cook it to perfection so that every piece you get is juicy and perfectly seared. I cannot recommend Hobak enough. The meat, the sauces, and flavor were all incredible! read more

Hobak Korean BBQ - Beef brisket and ban chan - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I had lunch here yesterday with three other friends. I had been here a couple of times before and would give the prior visits 5 stars as well. The setting is very cool, looks like an authentic Korean BBQ restaurant you would find in Korea. Restaurant was very clean and the service was very good. We shared a meat combo that came with 4 different protein choices and three sides. Very reasonably priced for the amount of food we got. We had Prime rib-eye, marinated short rib, pork belly and tiger shrimp. All the meats were very good. For sides we had seafood pancake (5/5), soybean paste stew (4/5) and nangmyun w/ broth (4/5). I would definitely good back. read more

Hobak BBQ offers an impressive Korean barbecue experience with a few standout perks that make it especially memorable. The $8 all-you-can-drink option is a fantastic deal and pairs perfectly with the meal, keeping the vibe relaxed and enjoyable without breaking the bank. The private, semi-enclosed ambience creates a comfortable setting that's great for conversations, small groups, or date nights. It feels cozy without being cramped, and the staff does a great job of checking in while still giving you space. Most importantly, the meat quality is excellent--well-marbled cuts, fresh flavors, and consistent tenderness across the board. Each grilling round feels satisfying, and the sides complement the proteins well. Overall, Hobak BBQ delivers great value, great atmosphere, and great food. read more

Hobak Korean BBQ - Lunch special - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Best Korean BBQ we've ever had. My partner and I decided to stop by this place for some Korean bbq and it did not disappoint. We got the small family combo 1 which had brisket, pork belly, skirt steak and pork ribs. the menu indicated that it was good for 2 people but could have easily fed 4 adults. We ended up only getting through the first two meats and had to pack the rest to go! The meats were really fresh and they gave you an abundance of side dishes, including rice balls, soybean soup, and steamed egg, all of which were delicious! The meal also came with ice cream at the end! The servers were amazing as well. This was the highlight of our trip, and will definitely be back when we're in town! read more

Been coming to Hobak Korean BBQ for years and decided it was finally time to upddate my review. We have tried a majority of the menu and here are some of the items you must try are: Hobak beef combo large (feeds 3-4) 5/5, get the small combo if a party of 2 Hobak rice box (Bi Bim Bop) shaken to your liking and served 5/5 Grilled Wagyu 5/5 Brisket 5/5 Spicy Angus skirt steak 4/5 Bulgogi 4/5 Bean paste soup 4/5 Cheese kimchi fried rice 4/5 Fried Egg 5/5 Corn cheese 4/5 Not a fan of pork but they do offer plenty of options of premium pork cuts The servers are usually good about topping off your bon chon on the table but you can always ask for more of your favorite. Great service and good KPOP music playing while you eat. They also change out the grill when needed or upon request. Good soju, variety of beers, tea, wine and a couple signature cocktails available as well. For dessert they give the rice pop, the strawberry is bomb and the cookies and cream is still solid, green tea is also very good, vanilla is classic but rather plain when you have good flavor options. Overall a great place for a dinner date with your significant other, friends or soon to spouse . read more

This is my go to for Korean food. Great service, atmosphere and food. 10/10 would recommend.

Hobak has become one of my favorite KBBQ spots when I'm visiting Vegas. I was back this back weekend and brought a friend with me who had never been to Vegas before. This was our first stop off the plane for dinner and I think it was a great introduction to the city's food scene. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the staff and offered slushies from their machine while we waited. They were tasty and a nice touch for the customers. We went with the beef dinner for 3-4 people and it was so much food. We had brisket, ribeye and short rib along with steamed egg, the soybean soup and the banchan which was all so amazing. I was so impressed and then on top of that the dessert that came out was so good but we just didn't have the capacity to finish it, but I really enjoyed the bite I did get in. Highly recommend this place! read more

Hobak Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Been to Hobak Korean BBQ about three times now, and every visit has been for a special occasion , birthdays, celebrations, the "let's eat good tonight" type of nights. Safe to say, Hobak has become one of those spots you save for when it actually matters. You definitely get a bang for your buck here. Quality meats, solid portions, and everything just hits the table right. The grilling, the sides, the atmosphere ,it all adds up to a good time, not just a meal. The vibe makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or family, and every visit has felt worth it. I'm already calling it now. The 4th visit is definitely getting reserved for another social occasion. Hobak hasn't missed yet. read more

I came to Hobak Korean BBQ with visiting family, there were about eight of us total. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. The food came out at a nice pace, keeping the table satisfied without feeling rushed. The interior has a cool vibe, styled like the streets of Korea, which adds a fun atmosphere. The banchan was tasty and enough to snack on while we waited for the meats. The meat itself was super flavorful and tender--cooked perfectly. For dessert, they brought out something I wasn't expecting: a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two rice crackers. We were all full from the dinner. But it ended up being a surprisingly great way to finish the meal. read more

Coming here on New Year's Eve, I was a little bit worried about not having a reservation, but since we came earlier (5:30pm), it wasn't busy at all. There were plenty of tables open. We had called earlier and they said that they typically don't get busy until 7pm, which is exactly what we observed when we were there. With a party of 3 adults (although relatively small eaters), we ordered the small combo and it was still a lot of food for us that we ended up taking a fair amount of leftovers home. In that regard, it was pretty good value compared to the price. They provide quite a bit of sides (banchan) too and you can always order more of what you finish for banchan. I liked that they had a fair amount of fresher/vegetable sides as well as non-veggies. The cuts of meat were mostly good quality, although the brisket had a lot of fat. We don't really drink, so we didn't take them up on this offer, but they were also offering a $14 all-you-can-drink option. Considering that a bottle of soju is close to this amount, this is a great deal if you're drinkers. The service was amazing. They cook for you and everything came out relatively quickly (we actually had to ask them to slow down). We had an issue with our first table and they did not hesitate to re-seat us and refreshed everything (banchan, utensils, water, etc.). They also comped us a bit on our bill, which they didn't have to, but we greatly appreciated. All in all, great customer service, great value, and amazing food - we found our go-to KBBQ spot!! read more

They had good food here! Korean friend said the flavor was very authentic, especially the kimchi stew and bean paste stew, which were my favorite there too. Good quality meat, and server cooked for you little by little so the food won't be overcooked or cold. All the side dishes were good match for the bbq. read more

Music too loud, all of the side dishes came out before the meat. We ordered large combo so we had 4 side dishes (kimchee soup, soy bean soup, and couple of noodles).

A friend of mine recommended this place and it did not disappoint! We went for an early lunch and it was nearly empty... however it did get busy during the dinner hours. Cute interior, spaced out nicely, and it was cool inside despite it being 100+ degrees outside and with the BBQ grill going. We ordered the combo for 2 (but really it could feed 4 people easily). The meats we chose were beef belly, pork jowl, and beef tongue... the pork belly was already included. Every single thing was amazing! Was really surprised me was the beef tongue. I was full after the first order of meat but everything tasted so good that we couldn't stop eating! The banchan was also great! Truly think we were so full by the time the meat came because all the side dishes were delicious. Dessert is also part of the combo and it was the first time I've ever had something like that! Ice cream inside of a rice cracker shell... different but delicious! Mahalo to Jin and Christian for great and attentive service! So very kind and accommodating. We will be back as soon as we can! read more

To quote the wife, "Quality, amount, service - this place nails all three." And I can't find anything to help me disagree. Hobak is quite near perfect. Meat, top quality. Side entrees, almost good enough to be standalone restaurant fare. Banchan is a little weak, but you aren't here for the banchan. The large build-your-own combo comes with 6 meats and 4 side entrees, and will reliably feed a party of 4 for $150. Bang for your buck much? No scrubs here when it comes to service either. Everyone knows what they are doing with the meats and the fire. Attentive and very kind service, every time. I wish every midrange, non-ayce KBBQ would operate like Hobak. read more

We took our international group of 9 here and it was very much the highlight of their Vegas meals! My hubs and I go to Hobak with our adult kids and US relatives. We love that the man the grill for you. I feel badly for the people in our group that do the grill because they end up focusing on not burning the meat instead of being able to be part of dinner conversation (ask me how I know that-LOL!). Our visitors loved all the banchan and meat and veggies that were grilled for us. They have K BBQ where they are from, but they said this was the bomb! Nothing like they've had before. We knew where to take them! Love Hobak!! It's our go to Korean BBQ place! read more

If you're in Vegas and need your Korean BBQ fix this is the spot. This place is not big and always crowded, but the food is worth the wait. All the meat was marinated well and cooked by the workers to perfection. The steamed eggs were silky and delicious. The seafood pancake was amazing best I had in a while. The outer edges were crunchy and center chewy with loots of shrimp. The soft beef tofu stew warmed our belly's on this cold windy evening. Will visit each and every time we in town. It gets Smokey with all the wonderful bbq smells. We ask if the meal came with white rice and or waiter told us we have to order it but most people don't since the amount of food you get is more then enough to get you full. We got it anyway and after our meal we was regretting it. Had to unbutton our pants (LOL). The staff there are amazing, accommodating and friendly. If you looking for a quiet meal this place is not for you. They have music videos blasting and the environment is upbeat. Great place with amazing food, staff and customers to keep things lively. read more

I'm from the Bay Area and went to Las Vegas for the BTS concert. I saw the promo for BTS, and the reviews for this spot, so I immediately had to check it out and I did not regret any of it. One of the best KBBQ I've ever had in a while. The service was also very good despite being short staffed and made me focus more on the good food/experience instead of the other customers that were being annoying or patronizing to other people. I believe the owner was present and was very helpful. The ambiance was also really great! I will say come a bit early like maybe an hour or 30 minutes before because a line will start forming and make sure to pay attention to your surroundings as people will try to cut you. It's really that good haha Will recommend this spot to more people from home and if I'm ever back in Las Vegas, I'll go again here. read more
