I got the bulgogi stone pot combo with tofu soup. Everything was warm, hearty, and had really good flavor. It's a pretty good side portion and price is decent. The place is spacious and clean, and the service was great! My friend (who likes her soups salty) asked for some salt and they actually offered to remake her dish instead of just bringing salt. Although there was no need for that, it's nice to know they are attentive and truly want you to enjoy your meal. Definitely appreciated the extra effort. Will be back!

The restaurant has a pool table, two TVs, clean restrooms, and even a bell you can ring if you need service. The décor was fun, with soccer jerseys and a Mexican flag. A sweet lady greeted us as soon as we walked in and was very kind and helpful. You order at the counter when you're ready, which made the process simple. We ordered the Beef Bibimbap, Spicy Pork Plate, Beef Bulgogi Plate, and a couple of Thai teas. Our drinks came out almost immediately, and our food arrived about 20 minutes later. A young server brought our meals to the table and was friendly and attentive. The wait was absolutely worth it because the food was freshly made, packed with flavor, and surprisingly delicious. Every dish was cooked perfectly, and we really enjoyed our food. We'll definitely be coming back! I was hoping to play a game of pool before we left, but we were short on time. Next time for sure!

My husband wanted to stop by here after we attended church in the morning. We arrived around 1:45…read morein the afternoon and it wasn't crowded, but there were at least four different tables filled with customers. I got on the Yelp waitlist and the wait was less than five minutes. By the time we got to the front after parking, I went to check in with the host, and he was able to see us right away. There was one other family ahead of us of four and they were seated a couple tables away from us. We ordered the regular all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue package. We ordered sides that included our staple items: kimchi, small bowl of rice, japchae noodles, potato salad, vegetable, vegetables, and this time I tried pickle/cucumber kimchi. The servers were really customer service friendly, and they seated us and took our order and drink order right away. They still have canned sodas here, but I like that they give you a glass of ice to pour it into. The highlight of our visit was that they now have two robots serving side items to customers. So you order it with the actual server and then about 5 to 6 minutes later the robot comes to deliver it. Please see my video of this awesome new feature here. There are two serving robots right now, but I can absolutely see them expanding to 3 to 5 in the future as the place has a big dining area. Overall, our food was delicious. All of the cuts of meat we received were perfect and I absolutely love their Bulgogi at this location. It is seasoned well and very flavorful. They also cut back on the amount of fat that they serve you in the meat. One thing different about our visit is that we did not eat the corn cheese this time. Otherwise this was business as usual with great service, great food, and a great atmosphere with great music. Thanks!

It was some of our first time here and we all really liked the different cuts of meat they offer on the regular menu. My favorite was the marinated short rib! Super flavorful and the meat was so tender after cooking. Our whole table kept ordering more lol. Their banchan was really good too, which honestly surprised me because I feel like at most KBBQ places, the banchan can be hit or miss. Hanu definitely has some of the more authentic flavors when it comes to both their meats and banchan. Overall we had a really good experience

I got an oyakodon and the spicy champon…read more The oyakodon was way better than the one I had at Hanamichi. The rice was hot and moist, but not mushy, and the chicken was soft and juicy. That was great as your average American joint nukes the chicken until it's overcooked jerky. I did feel that the egg was somewhat understated in comparison. Also, the rice was moist, but I didn't really taste much extra flavor. It's not exactly saucy, but you can add your own seasoning I supposed. The spicy champon was good. The presentation does seem a bit dark for a champon? I'm not sure why, am I crazy? For the broth, I would've liked it be a bit creamier. I also found the noodles to be a tad thin and small portion. For the other ingredients, the meat was okay, and I definitely wasn't a fan of the giant scallion cuts. Miso soup was fine. And free edamame! This place is also seems relatively authentically Japanese.
