    Princess was our waitress, she's attentive & gave us good suggestions what to order. We ate so much & was pretty full. We picked the more expensive option & it was a lot of food. We like the Hwaro sauce for dipping. The ice cream, sorbet, cheesecake desserts were good also. I like the sorbet more. Overall it was a very good Korean BBQ place, we discovered Hwaro through a YouTuber recommendation. Now we recommend you should try it too!

    Highly recommend this spot. Everything was BOBB! Our server Will was our server. He was super friendly and gave us the best service. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience.

    First time here and definitely not the last the food was tasty and delivered with quick service by server Devin.

    The food was great!! Our server was Joshua and he was nice and patient with us. The atmosphere was great.

    It was an amazing experience the food came out fast and the server Devin always came to check up even on a busy day will be coming bac

    We love this place, this is our third time back to this location. The food is always on point, tasty, and one of the best AYCE Korean food we've had. Highly recommend a day or night out at this place definitely worth the money! Joshua took great care of us, super attentive and very friendly! Thank you again for a wonderful experience Hwaro on Spring Mountain!!

    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.

    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

    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… Read more

    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.

    Update after the show: The food was great overall, and we…read morereally loved the vibe and energy from everyone there. The comedy lineup was amazing and honestly made the whole experience so fun and memorable. Even though they forgot one of our food orders and no water was served to our table or follow-up was made to check if we needed anything afterwards, we still had a really good time because the atmosphere and performances were enjoyable. The reason I removed one star was not because of the comedians or the show itself, but due to an uncomfortable interaction regarding one of the tickets. Another group of BTS fans had an extra ticket they couldn't use, so they kindly gave it to my cousin rather than letting it go to waste. While I completely understand if the policy did not allow the extra ticket to be honored, the situation could have been handled more respectfully. Unfortunately, the Filipino lady working there (possibly a server or owner, though I'm not entirely sure) made us feel as though we were not being truthful about where the ticket came from, even after we explained that it had been given to us by another group who could not use it. A little more understanding and professionalism in that interaction would have made the experience much better overall. Before the show: Love the whole atmosphere and the food options , not to mention they did a remix of food choices so nothing can go wrong. Service was quick in the beginning and they were able to accommodate our group so quickly. I'll update more because we are about to watch the show that came with our bts ticket . It was around $40 for early bird and comes with drink and appetizer which is great deal and a show now that's a deal we can't miss!!

Walked in to a Bob Marley "Waiting in Vain" cover and already knew the atmosphere was gonna be solid. Didn't even realize they had Filipino dishes on the menu so we had to try the pork sisig. As a Filipino, I'd say it was good, just a little sweeter and heavier on the mayo than what I'm used to, but still enjoyable. We got Combo 1 with 1lb shrimp and 1/2lb crab legs in the signature Cajun medium sauce plus a side of the Cajun coconut sauce. The Cajun coconut was easily the winner for me, actually so good. Shrimp was a little overcooked and harder to peel, but overall still hit the spot. Added one of each add-on too. For starters, the chili BBQ seasoned fries instantly reminded me of Potato Corner, so now I know where to fix that craving late night. The ceviche was also surprisingly one of the better ones I've had, super flavorful and a solid portion for 2 people. Drinks were the lychee margarita and passion fruit margarita, both really good. Only downside was the drinks took a while and we had to remind our waitress since our food came out before they did. Overall though, the atmosphere, music, food variety, and late night vibe definitely made this place worth it. Would come back again!

My husband is definitely more of a foodie and I'm happy to try new things but usually stick to what I know. We ended up doing the Chefs Tasting menu to try a little bit of everything and wow! The staff was kind but our waitress was 10/10 on her own! Super attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, our water glasses were always full and she was incredibly kind. The overall vibe of the place was intimate with the darker lighting, music was on but not blaring and even with the tables a little closer together I felt like you were still able to have privacy. The oysters were amazing! One was chilled and one was cooked. My favorite was the chilled and my husbands favorite was the cooked. I had never had oysters before and am now a huge fan! We added the Foie Gras to our menu and were blown away by how good it was! First time trying it, all the rave about Foie Gras is true! The snapper tostada is another highlight for us! So fresh and delicious and all the flavors went together incredibly well.

For two people, our bill came to $420, which set very high expectations. To make matters more disappointing, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill, even though we were only a party of two. I didn't notice anything indicating that beforehand. Based on our experience, I felt the service was closer to 15% than 20%. The biggest issue was that almost every dish was overly salty. Oxtail Hummus - Probably our favorite dish. The hummus itself was flavorful and wasn't overly salty, but the naan was just okay. I was hoping for more texture with crispy edges. Bánh Cuốn - I appreciated the creativity of the dish, but the rice roll was surprisingly hard and chewy in the center when bánh cuốn should be soft throughout. The sauce was also very salty. Wood Fired Lumina Lamb - The lamb itself was good, but the nước chấm was extremely salty. Spanish Octopus - The octopus was cooked well, but again, it was overly salty. Snapper Tostada - Good, but nothing particularly memorable or unique flavor-wise. Rabbit Dan Dan Paccheri - I loved the perfectly al dente pasta, but the sausage was far too salty. Coal Roasted Dry-Aged Dorade - The crispy skin was excellent, but overall the dish didn't wow me. Oysters - The raw oysters had interesting flavors but leaned salty. The grilled oyster was my favorite of the oyster selections. The staff was genuinely friendly, and I appreciated that they were attentive about clearing and replacing our plates throughout the meal. However, the pacing of the meal really slowed down halfway through. We were there for almost two hours, and our dessert took at least 20 minutes to arrive. In fact, our check was brought to the table before our dessert, which felt odd. Las Vegas has an incredible dining scene with so many amazing restaurants. For a meal that cost $420 for two people, I expected something memorable. Instead, most of the dishes were overwhelmingly salty, the pacing was slow, and the overall experience simply didn't justify the price. I really wanted to love this place but I left feeling disappointed.

Upon flagging server for help, she seemed annoyed. Once greated, no smile, no apology for the delay, Just a server with a frustrated presence. We ordered a fresh coconut to start off as a beverage and the server asked "What is a coconut?"...we responded that it is a beverage on the menu. Not sure if she was trying to be smart or she was unaware it was on beverage menu...nonetheless the tone was unfriendly. As the server seemed overwhelmed from work level, we ordered quickly with minimal questions and informed server of all request after we order so we could have what we needed. She forgit the napkins, chopsticks,and condiments that were requested. Our noodle dish came out missing a side soup that was supposed to accompany it. The coconut beverage never came out. Informed another server to grab condiments etc., asked for the side soup, and to cancel the coconut beverage as it never came out and it was already mid meal. The check was dropped with an incorrect amout (it only included a $7 coconut which we did not get) Informed server that it was the wrong bill and it should be more. Food tasted good. Loved the wonton noodle bowl and crab fried rice. Pad see ew could use more char and greens, the Tom Yum was fine. Maybe an off day for service and possible more training on how to manage communication with guests if service is running behind.
