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 :)

I don't usually leave negative reviews but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place at all…read more The food was just okay and there weren't many options on the dinner menu. My coworker and I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while so we decided to give it a chance, but nothing we ordered was particularly memorable. The bigger issue was the service. My friend and I came on a Wednesday after work. We arrived at 5:00 pm ordered within about 10 minutes, and received our food fairly quickly. While we were still eating, the waitress came by several times to check on us. At around 6:00, she asked my friend if she was still working on her food and whether she could clear her plate. My friend had just finished, so she said yes. The waitress then asked if I wanted her to pack up my chicken even though I was clearly still eating and still had my chopsticks in my hand. I was so caught off guard that I paused for a moment before agreeing to have it packed. She then brought us the dessert menu. At 6:02, she came back and asked if we needed more time. We said yes, but she returned again shortly afterward. I finally asked if there was a dining time limit, and she quickly said, "Oh no, take your time." However, soon after that another staff member came over and asked what dessert we wanted to order. By then, we had had enough and asked for the check. The waitress seemed to sense that we were uncomfortable and politely asked whether I wanted to pack my rice as well since I had barely touched it. The whole experience felt extremely rushed and uncomfortable. We had only been there for about an hour. It wasn't busy and there wasn't a line of customers waiting for our table. If the food had been amazing or the restaurant had been packed, I might have been more understanding but that wasn't the case. There is much better Korean food and more welcoming service elsewhere so I wouldn't recommend or return.

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.

The staff seemed very well trained and service was great. The grilled galbi, truffle potato pancake and noodles were all very good.

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.

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.

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.
