    I'm not a huge AYCE fan but Hwaro changed my mind. Customers service was an easy 5 stars and the food is amazing. There choice of music was also cool overall experience 10/10 Highly recommend and definitely worth checking out.

    It's an interesting place, Hwaro. I found myself in this shopping center after getting a hair wash at soulo. I know I know, I definitely should have gotten lunch at Hwaro BEFORE the hair wash so that I wouldn't have bbq smelling hair, but it wasn't too bad. The lady said they have a two person+ policy but I guess they were kinda slow and she made an exception since I was dining alone. For less than $30 you get ayce Korean bbq and sushi for lunch! I like that there are both options. I tried the brisket, pork belly and garlic kalbi. I thought the meat was pretty good quality. And I liked all the sauces and sides you can get to make lettuce wraps. I thought the sushi was pretty good too and it didn't come with a lot of rice, which was nice. The same lady who said she was making an exception for me to dine alone kind of gave me attitude when I ordered for a second time. The other waiters seemed nicer. The inside is nice. It's not too smokey or sticky or dusty like some other Korean bbq places I've been to. There is also a big shared parking lot.

    Oh looks like the special meats is gone! I decided to go heavy on sushi and seafood this time. Love the small piece of rice and thin slices of fish so you can try and re order without getting full fast and waste food Kids didn't love the ramen but I really liked the noodles texture. The broth was ok For the price to value and what you can get. It's still a good decent price $36 for adults and my kids paid $14.95 Would come back time and time! Service honestly was 5/5, I do not think other AYCE comes by so often to keep offering us food this fast. The staff did that here today. Wow.

    Stopped by while visiting Vegas, and this place definitely lived up to the hype! The all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ was fantastic--the meat was fresh, flavorful, and there were plenty of options to choose from. Everything came out quickly, and the banchan was just as good. A huge shoutout to Xaviyer for the amazing service! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we always had everything we needed. Great food is one thing, but great service makes the experience even better. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Vegas!

    Great price for all you can eat kbbq!! Service was decent only thing is we ordered a few orders of an item and we'd only get an order instead of x amounts we ordered. To them they thought it was a lot for us and we were gonna waste it but that was not the case for us. For example we'd order a few kimchi, Lettuce wrap, raddish etc and they'd give us either 1 of each or half of what we ordered so we'd have to ask for it again. Other than that food was amazing! Hwaro Sauce was very good with all Meats. Spicy garlic Edamame was delicious. Corn ribs were so good we had to order more. Food was perfectly seasoned not too salty/ sweet. They also had the best affogato I've ever had!! Servers came pretty consistently to ask if we needed anything or wanted to order additional food or to change out our grill. Overall great all you can eat kbqq!! I'd definitely go back the next time I'm in Vegas. Im sure they were busy but they had guests all spaced out so we were able to enjoy our own lil party of 4. It wasnt loud so it was nice that we were able to enjoy eachothers company.

    This was our first time eating at Hwaro and we were very pleasantly surprised. All of the meat options were very fresh and high-quality and the service was great! We were helped by Devin and Beatriz and they were very attentive with additional requests for grill changes and napkins, etc. Every single one of our orders came out in very short periods of time as well. Bonus for really great music (lol). 10/10 would recommend!!

    Ruben & chickea were amazing! my man & i enjoyed our meal & had great customer service!! i'll come back just to see them

    I'm still thinking about this place because WOW. Hwaro seriously knocked it out of the park. From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable, legit hands down some of the best service I've ever had. They changed our grill like 3x for us, checked in constantly, and the food came out quick. And this was on a busy Saturday night, with no wait! Unreal. Let's talk food because everything was amazing. My absolute favorites were the, Ribeye Bulgogi, (so tender, so flavorful) and the brisket, which was seriously soooo good too. PLEASE do not skip dessert--their Yuzu Sorbet, is a MUST TRY! It's refreshing, perfectly tart, and the perfect way to end a BBQ feast. Another must-try is their EDO sushi roll, YEP I said it they have sushi included in the $34 PREMIUM menu. Omg their green tea, tasted so authentic! They do have popular items like corn cheese, radish wraps, and affogato but just to note, they don't have other popular Korean bbq sides like fish cakes, rice wraps, or melon bars/mochi desserts. Honestly though... who needs all that when the food here is already insanely good? On top of all that, the restaurant itself is beautiful. The interior is modern and cozy with big booth seating, which makes it feel more private and comfortable. When you sit down, all the sauces and ICED water are right there on the table! Overall, amazing food, lightning-fast service, gorgeous space, and an experience that made me want to come back immediately. I can't wait to go back. Hwaro is the place.

    Food and service are excellent here. We couldn't be happier with how high-quality the meat is here! Sushi and Korean BBQ at the same time is undefeated! Our server, Will, was amazing. He checked up on us regularly and made sure we always had water! Hope to get him again next time!

    We had a table of 7, and Princess did a wonderful job at serving us and suggesting the right the right meats for the group. Service was good, and the food came out quickly. First time here, we will definitely be back!

    Last time I been here. Was before the renovation. Wheel it looked smaller and crowded. So let's start with the renovation. 5 out of 5. Love the new setup. Booths are more comfortable. Their is no big bench style tables in the middle. Replaced with more traditional style tables/booths. So the food is 4 out of 5. My favorite used to be the shake rice. Prepared in a metal tin. You shake it then open and eat it. Then I find out it's only available at hwaro2. But why? This is where it originated from! Also the portions have gotten way smaller than I remember or compared to some other places. Ordered beef belly and got like 5 slices. So make sure you order according. Service was 3 out of 5. 80% of my dine-in the single server seemed to be extremely busy but with only 4 tables. Then it seemed to be short change. And the new short asian guy was checking up on us every 5-10min. Refilled drinks. Took away our empty plates even before the busser got around to us. When our cooking plate looked like it was about to get burned. He said "let me change it out before your next wave of meat shows up". Little things like that go a long way

    Came here with a group of 6. Menu is changed now but the new adds on are delicious like the Salmon Lover temaki. I love the brisket here as well! Our server Princess was super attentive to us and dealing with my indecisive group LOL!

    Just a little bit of everything!

    Meat quality is great. Service is great. I would definitely comeback. Very well priced for what they have to offer!

    Ask the Community - Hwaro

    How do i make a reservation?

    They don't have reservations. You put down your name and phone number and they will text you when ready.

    Is Hwaro still an AYCE Restaurant? I heard it's not A Korean Restaurant but now a Japanese Restaurant. Please advise.

    This one is more Japanese, no Korean veggie cold appetizer side dishes here. But they have a lot of food to choose from. It's still great and will fill you up.

    Is it possible to make reservations in advance?

    No, it's 1st come and 1st serve

    Do they have vegetarian options?

    They have some veg. sides like miso soup and lettuce but nothing to replace meat/protein.

    Is this location closed for good?

    No it has reopened!

    Are you closed tonight? If so, when will you reopen?

    Is there a 2 person minimum?

    I believe so

    Do I have to make a reservation?

    They do not take reservations. It is a first come basis. They have a sign in sheet in the lobby area.

    Are you guys still open til 3?

    this hwaro closes at midnight ! :)

    Do they have lettuce, the kind to wrap the meat with?

    Yes they do have lettuce!

    Can I make reservations for group of 7?

    No it's a first come first serve bases. But when we went with a group of 7 around 1 am on Friday. We didn't wait that long and it was pretty immediate to get seated.

    Are they open on Christmas day?

    Yes they are

    Do they take Apple Pay or cardless payments?

    yes, tap is available

    Do they happen to serve beer towers or like an alcoholic beverage tower of sort?

    I don't believe so but they do have alcoholic selections.

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes. Just order meat and vegetables.

    How busy are they typically at 10 PM on a Sunday night? We have a large group (about 20 people). Would like to gauge how much tome to allot for waiting. Thank you!

    For a group that large you'd probably be looking at 1 1/2 to 2 hours wait. It's totally worth it though. With covid they might still have a limit on party numbers though so be careful, they have this thing where you can give them your number and… 

    Does anyone know if this restaurant is open? I call but no answer?

    They are. Lines are always busy so either call back to back or drive up and put your name on the waitlist because they don’t take reservations.

    How ahead in advance can I make a reservation?

    They don't take reservations. It's first come, first served.

    Can you order 2 bbq meats for a party of 4?

    As long as the meats are on the same menu for the price you are paying for then yes

    Do they still have the happy hour after 10pm?

    Yes, everyday. It's the late night special. Same price as the lunch special. About $20/person.

I was with my boogie friend, so she didn't really care for it, but I don't mind it because I love the old school R& B Hip hop music. The service was cool and chill the girl was super cool and laid back. The guy that was there also was super friendly try to get us to do karoke but honestly we just want to eat and go because we so tired from our flight. I love the vibe, but the food can definitely be improved. The flavor was good, but I would had like seafood to be warmer and not Luke warm. I had to send the shrimp back to be cook more and would have prefer if the boil egg wasn't overly too hard boil. The plain chicken wing was good thou . We didn't get the AYCE and i find the food to be a good amount for the price. The crab leg could be fresher and warmer but it might be because we got there almost closing time. I might come back again for a drink and music vibe

She also had really bad communication and explaining the menu. We asked her question regarding the menu. So she told us that we can do the $25 snow crab all you can eat. She did not say it's $39.99 plus the $25. We didn't want all the other additional seafood. The first round and it was good. So we all ordered a second round of the same thing. We waited for about 30 mins and finally got up to asked about it. She told was about to come out. As we were waiting, we saw her in putting our order. Then we realized that she never put in our second order in the first place. By that point, we were done. the restaurant was not busy at all and there were only two other tables there. Our Uber driver recommended this place, but I will never go back to that place again nor would I recommend recommended to anyone. Oh, on top of that they never came around to clean up or picked up any empty plates are trash from our table. Nor did they get our drink order right.

We have dined there in the past and have always sat at a table but we came in on a whim and there was only bar seating, which was fine. But the girl bartender (Annie??) was extremely mean and rude to us for some reason. We were polite, didn't complain about anything, didn't ask to modify our food at all and left over 20% gratuity. When we asked questions she talked to us like we were stupid. Everyone else was outstanding. The guy with the braids and Frank were awesome and the Sommelier was really cool and was passionate about his wine list. My fiancé and I are both industry vets and we understand that sometimes you aren't always in the best mood but this felt oddly personal. Again, we have no idea what we did wrong. The food was exceptional. Some highlights are: Oxtail hummus: The best hummus I've ever had and the oxtail was cooked to perfection. Oysters: we did half and half of both options and they were both great and super unique. Banh Cuon: Usually made with pork, they use duck and it is awesome. The sauce should be bottled. Octopus: Perfection on a plate. Passionfruit dessert: So, so good. Perfect way to end dinner after some spicy elements in the food. Pandan cocktail: One of the better drinks I've ever had. We had more food but these are the items I can remember off of the top of my head. This was from about a month ago but my Yelp account was hijacked and I haven't been able to get it back yet and had to make a new one . So overall everything was amazing except for that one issue.
