The menu was a joy to read and it was soon obvious that we weren't going to go wrong with anything we ordered! The Han dumplings are *chefs kiss* y'all need to order them for sure. For my main course I went with the LA galbi. I had a hard time eating the steak with my chopsticks so I ended up using my hands, (our waiter said that was normal, but he may have just been nice) because the flavor was so good I didn't want to leave any meat uneaten. Seriously some of the best flavors of my life!!! Though I'm still learning how to eat green things I bet the salad was amazing too!! The restaurants vibe was so much fun, we feel very grateful to have been able to eat at Her Name is Han and will recommend it to anyone who asks. 100/10 would recommend :)

Bon chon was tasty kimchi had a sweet touch to the taste ( very unique). The others prepared well and tasty. Started w the marinated crab - prepared well very savory get that rice ready for each bite. Next the K fried chicken perfect batter and good crunch. Next Corn & Cream Croquettes as simple as they are packed w flavor. Added the rice cane to try - not traditional but good. Minari Shrimp Pancake - traditional and good - nice batter and cooked good for savor and crisp.

To finish matcha tiramisu - light sweet and yummy. They have good Asian themed drinks and full bar also.

The lunch menu is somewhat limited, but there was still something for everyone in our group to enjoy. One thing that really stood out was the customer service. One of my coworkers' meals was delayed, and the staff was incredibly apologetic. They even provided complimentary items while we waited, which was a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated. The restaurant has a very authentic Korean BBQ atmosphere, making the dining experience feel even more enjoyable. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. One helpful tip: if you're making a reservation, be sure to double-check that you're going to the correct location. There's another restaurant with the exact same name directly across the street, so it can be a little confusing. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

We ordered their large beef package which was more than enough for four people. We even had some leftovers! The meat was so tender and practically melted in your mouth. I especially loved that the waiter cooked and cut the meat for us. Their side dishes were fresh and well-seasoned, too. I also loved how spacious and clean the restaurant was. The whole space felt luxurious and upscale which made the experience feel extra special. Another thing I really appreciated was that I didn't leave the restaurant smelling like Korean BBQ! It is on the pricier side, but if you're looking for high-quality Korean BBQ with excellent service and a luxurious atmosphere for a special occasion, this is a great place to go. It was worth every cent!

Probably the best KBBQ experience I've had in NYC so far…read more It's definitely not cheap, but I thought it was worth it. We got the large set for 4 and there was more than enough food for everyone. Didn't order any drinks, but the meat quality was excellent, and our server cooked everything pretty well so we could just sit back and enjoy. The service was top-notch too. They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end. Another nice bonus is that if you pay in cash (there's an ATM inside), you get about 10% off. If you don't mind spending a little more for really good quality and service, I'd definitely recommend this place!

Sat at a high top by the bar and had a fairly light dinner. The Beef Tartare comes out with a cracked quail egg for you to pour into the meat yourself and the beef sat on top of sone sliced pear. It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef. The cured shrimp was delicious, I'm sad there was only 3 because I wanted 5 servings of it. The uni, roe, and soy shrimp practically melted in your mouth. The Uni Bimbimbap has rave reviews and I can see why. It was filling without being overly heavy and each bite had uni in it after mixing it up. If you're unsure about uni, this is definitely a great way to introduce yourself to it's flavor palette.

Bb.q Chicken's rose tteokbokki is better imo - Pork shank: 9/10, really tender and juicy meat that fell off the bone. Hella pricey tho (-1 point) - Kimchi fried rice w/ prime hanger steak: 6/10, just okay. Not a huge fan of the fried rice, the steak was good, medium rare - Espresso martini: 8/10, really strong lol

Hojokban has been on my list for such a long time, and I finally made it here! The restaurant is…read morevery small and intimate, which gives it a cozy feel. I will say, though, they were pretty stingy with the banchan. We were only given kimchi and sweet potato. Kkanpung Chicken - The flavor was on point! It had a nice little kick, although I definitely wouldn't have minded if it were spicier. The chicken was super crispy and juicy, so I really enjoyed this one. Octopus Tteokbokki - MUST ORDER! Easily one of my favorite dishes of the night. The sauce was sweet and paired so well with the baby octopus. I could've easily eaten the whole plate myself. Truffle Potato Pancake - This was really popular, but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. I could barely taste the truffle and didn't think it was anything that special. It was pretty meh for me, so I'd skip this one. Hojok Galbi - The meat was very tender, but unfortunately, it was a little dry. It was a solid dish, but nothing that really blew me away. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu!

They have a variety of the standard fare Korean options at reasonable prices. We tried the ddukbokki and bulgolgi dupbap which were both good. The portion sizes were on the bigger size and the ddukbokki were giant. I do wish the ddukbokki was a little less watery but overall tasted fine. The bulgolgi was pretty standard for what I'd expect. Overall a solid option in the area if you don't want to wait for a long queue outside of the other popular spots.

Spicy Braised Pork Rib Stew: Rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The highlight for me was the raw marinated crab. I spotted it on the wall menu and immediately had to order it. It's rare to find in the city! And honestly, this was way better than BCD's. So flavorful. Only complaint... the banchan portions are small and not a lot of variety. Other than that, I really enjoyed my meal and I'd definitely recommend this spot.

Even the tofu quality & texture's top notch. I honestly just come here for their raw marinated crab. For $30, they give a very generous portion. It comes in spicy sauce, it never disappoints. The banchan (side dishes) are generous, they never skimp & always refill. They even have fried fish as the side. The restaurant's huge, opens late & always packed, but the service's quick. Honestly, for the value, it's excellent. And that's what keeps me coming back.

The server felt unfriendly, and whenever we tried to flag him down, he wouldn't even look at us. It took around 20 minutes after our meal to get our check which was ridiculous. It was a shame because this was easily one of my favorite meals in NYC, but I don't know if I would return solely due to the service.

We ordered marbled beef steak and naengmyeon, hoping for a speedy meal. Surprisingly, the beef, cold noodles and banchan all blew us away. The marbled beef was outstanding, and our server grilled it perfectly -- it melted in our mouth. Their mushroom sauce was absolutely fantastic. The broth for the buckwheat cold naengmyeon was authentic beef stock, rich and savory without overpowering the natural flavor of the ingredients. The banchan were also incredibly well-made; we finished nearly every side dish on the table. Service was quick and efficient too. It's such a shame we only discovered this restaurant on our final day, we wish we'd come here earlier. I'd highly recommend this spot. Overall rating: 4.5 to 5 out of 5 stars.

The service was attentive without being overbearing, and our waiter was ready to provide recommendations. The food was amazing for the price, but I liked some items more than others. I found the wings to be on the lighter side - it's not greasy, but it would not hit the spot if you are craving korean fried chicken. The shrimp pancakes were on the fluffier side, a bit bland, but I prefer flatter and crisper seafood pancakes. The yukhoe was alright, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I would recommend getting the acorn jelly, asparagus japchae, and/or hoe muchim for apps. I kept going back to them. The bossam was very yummy and fresh, and I very much enjoyed the cold noodles. Both of these items I would highly recommend getting. What really stole my heart was the burdock desert. It was not too sweet, perfectly creamy, and absolutely one of my top desert bites I've had in the city. I might go back just to order this again. Overall, the dining experience was fantastic would highly recommend giving Moono a try.
