    1st meal when we got to vegas! AYCE Korean bbq! What a great price end up being $100 for 4 people. Food was good. Came out in a timely manner tho we did have to wait a bit for a few things and something's forgotten but we just ordered again so that we got it. The meat were perfect not thick and cooked perfectly not have to wait from being thick cuts service was great friendly staff. They definitely kept the grill clean from changing it when well seasoned which the last bit of food when we were about done we didn't want to change the grill but hey who complaining. Over very good food the mexican corn app was amazing the flavor of the edamame very good. They offered ice cream as dessert included i got the affogato which was so good. What i needed to get the day started after a red eye flight

    Called a week in advance to see if I could make a reservation for 11 people on a Saturday at 4 PM. They don't take reservations, but they were very helpful and let me know to call the same day to be added to the waitlist, then call again about an hour before to confirm our full party would be showing up. The inside does feel pretty crowded at first, but once you get toward the back of the restaurant it opens up more and feels much more spacious. They have larger tables for groups as well as smaller tables for parties of four. Customer service was great and the food started coming out almost immediately after we ordered. Ordering was a little overwhelming in the beginning just because there are so many options and we ended up trying almost everything on the menu. Our group isn't big on pork, so we mostly stuck with the beef selections. The tomahawk was definitely the favorite of the night....everyone at the table really enjoyed it. Overall, really good food and a fun group dining experience.

    This place is AMAZING! This is my favorite place in town for KBBQ! I will always go here for Korean bbq, we are always bringing friends and family too! The staff are always so nice and friendly. This is my all time favorite KBBQ spot!! I love the meat options and the appetizer selection, as well as the sides. I love the vibes at this spot and the music is always great playing in the background! Will be back soon for KBBQ

    Hwaro 2 has been in my rotation since this second location opened. Dragon Factory owns so many spots in town that they have become the barometer for sushi and KBBQ, and this one still hits for both consistency and quality. Forget the hushed, label-driven rooms chasing A5 Wagyu bragging rights. Hwaro 2 is loud, smoky, and alive with the sound of meat hitting hot grills. You smell fat caramelizing, hear pork belly pop and hiss, and the table crowds with dishes until there is hardly room left for your soju. This is the heartbeat of KBBQ, not the showroom. Once the brisket round is done, the premium steak and tomahawk are the move. Pork belly brings richness, short ribs hit that sweet-salty note, and the bulgogi is the guilty sticky-sweet pleasure that sneaks in no matter how focused you are on the "serious" cuts. Seafood holds up, sides stay sharp, and the pro move is specifying to your server that you only want one or two orders of the larger cuts at a time so they hit the grill fresh and nothing goes to waste. The crew hustles, but management does not staff enough people on the floor. Servers and bussers do everything they can, so tip them well. These days the table comes with a single watery sweet BBQ sauce by default. What needs to return are the staples that make the experience whole: gochujang with some bite, and the sesame oil with salt and pepper dip that cuts through the richness. Bring those back without raising the price and Hwaro 2 separates from the pack again. Late night is the move. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. the spread drops to $25.95 with drink deals, and the vibe shifts from family dinner to industry hangout. Plates flying, drinks clinking, the low roar of every table grilling at once. That is the Hwaro I come for. It is not refined and it is not supposed to be. It is meat, fire, and noise at a fair price. 4 out of 5. Staff the floor and bring back the proper sauces and it is five alllll day

    Food was fine but service was a little lackluster. We had to ask for our grill to be changed every single time, and the portion sizes were a bit ridiculous for our table size. The atmosphere is also kinda meh compared to the main location. Corn cheese is my favorite here and their bulgogi is pretty good too. House salad, fries, brisket, and spicy pork were all very good. I also loved the brownie with ice cream as a dessert option. I wish the meal came with the typical Korean side dishes that other spots serve. To our surprise, the server charged us for 6 people when we had 5, most likely to hit us with the auto gratuity charge. It wasn't a huge issue, but the cashier had to point us to us that we were being charged for an extra person. Overall, Hwaro is a good choice, especially for their late night deal. However, I wish the service and amenities were better for the cost.

    The atmosphere was filled with fantastic energy, and the food was nothing short of exceptional! Our server was attentive, guiding us through the menu and ensuring we had everything we needed. They made it a point to check on us every 10 minutes, which was nice because we wanted to try everything on the menu. The only downfall was that they only had cold sake, its good but I occasionally enjoy it warm. Besides that, everything else was delicious.

    Amazing! All you eat for a great price. Food is delicious, service was fast, placed was packed! So be prepared for a waitlist! But definitely worth the wait.

    If you're looking for a classic kbbq spot this is it. No fancy meats or 3 different menus. Simple, straight to the point. If you want a lot of parking, good service, small cozy spot. This is it. 5 items per order not including sides. 1 hour 20min to eat. $26 for lunch or late night. $30 all day menu. If you want more than their signature sauce that's by every table just ask. They have sesame oil, salt, bean paste, soy sauce, siracha, and actual spicy mayo. Can't beat the price. Bathrooms super slippery, you have been warned.

    We arrived at Hwaro 2 around 10 PM and waited about an hour to get seated. We usually go to the other Hwaro location, but we like to switch it up since Hwaro 2 has some different food options we enjoy. What keeps us coming back is the quality of their meats and the corn cheese, which is always a favorite. This location, along with the original, is one of our go-to Korean BBQ spots. The inside is clean and well-kept, and the staff is always efficient. They bring out the food quickly and are great about changing the grill when needed.

    They just recently reopened the original location! (as of Feb '24) I noticed the price on that menu is a few dollars more than the Hwaro 2 menu that's posted to their website. (All-Day Special $29 vs $33)… 

    When will the other location be opening back up?

    Do you let solo diners in your AYCE?

    Definitely! Ate there few times by myself😃

    Do u still cater reservation? How bout a party of 15, how would that work? Thanks!

    Unfortunately they don't take reservations anymore. I would recommend going an hour early to be put on the waitlist since it's a big party

    Last we check they were closed.. are they still closed or open already?

    They should be open already.

I added an extra egg, extra pork belly, and extra black garlic oil because... why not? Anywhoddles with the extra "trimmings" it came to $18 dollars. Let's get back to the review Now lean in so I can tell y'all about this broth. It tasted authentic to me. It was rich, velvety, silky smooth, creamy without being heavy, and bursting with savory goodness. Every sip had me closing my eyes The noodles had the perfect bite--not too soft and not too firm. The pork belly was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of char around the edges. And those eggs? Whew! Perfectly jammy with that beautiful golden yolk. So... if you're a ramen lover--or if you've been thinking about trying ramen for the first time--I highly recommend giving Eki Ramen a try. And while you're there, take your time and explore Cheongdam Food Hall because there are plenty of other restaurants waiting to be discovered. Until next time... y'all already know what time it is! I'll be doing a boomerang back to this spot because there are way too many restaurants in this food hall for me to stop at just one!
