+Parking: Outdoor parking lot located next to Bristol Farms…read moreand inside the CVS plaza. +Atmosphere: So glad they don't blast music like most kbbq places. I'm okay with it, but sometimes I can't hear my friends or my family. Sometimes, I actually want to have a conversation with my friends and family. This was a nice change. The waiters seemed new except the owner was very nice! Lots of larger tables and tables for 4! +Food: 1. LA Galbi + Cold Noodle Combo : Galbi was cooked pretty well. Came out on a hot plate and the beef was pretty good! Decent amount of Galbi pieces for the area. Cold noodle seemed pretty traditional and they give a good amount of noodles! Beef brisket was a bit hard, but they give you mustard and vinegar if nessary. 2. Chicken bulgogi + Cabbage Combo: okay amount of chicken pieces for the area. Flavor was good too. I believe they also have spicy chicken, but I forgot. Cabbage noodles were a the normal I think egg noodles, so it tasted different than the cold noodles. Good flavor and already a bit on the sour and cold side! 3. Bimbimbop: great mix of veggies! Spinach, egg, carrots, mushroom. I would say there's not much rice on the bottom and bulgogi beef was a bit small. Good combo for Summer! It's been so hot! Banchan's tasted very fresh! We got seaweed salad, macaroni salad, kimchi, cucumbers, and fish cake. I would probably come back to try their bbq, because they are a bbq place. It was just a bit too hot for us! Looks like a decent portion, but it's not AYCE! Meat quality looked good though!

I do wish they had more than one soon tofu (beef) option. I also wasn't sure about the steaming hot tea in a plastic pitcher, hmmm. That being said, I definitely want to return & try their grilled fish (they have mackerel, atka mackerel, rockfish & croaker). I'm a sucker for grilled fish. I also noticed they have steamed duck??! Which I think my hubby might try next. Stay tuned... :)

Really enjoyed our meal at Hansol inside H Mart in Torrance! We had the squid with bean sprouts and…read moreudon noodle soul. Both were really good, flavorful, and satisfying. The typical Korean banchan (side dishes) that came with the meal made everything even better. It's located inside the supermarket, so the dining area can get very crowded and busy, but the food came out fairly quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You order your food, find yourself a table, and they call your number when your order is ready. Nothing fancy in terms of atmosphere but a busy H Mart food-court setting for that is tasty, comforting, and worth the wait. I'd definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a hot bowl of Korean soup!

I have eaten here a few times. The food court has been reconfigured a few times, getting smaller…read moreand smaller. There are fewer and fewer food stall offerings. This place has lasted. Probably because it's Korean, in a Korean supermarket, where the competitors that folded shop were not always. Other stands also had a freshness issue - not much turnover as most visitors want Korean. Each time I shop at HMart, I see big soup bowls from Hansol. And I think, as a giant soup lover, I need to get me some. It always looks so good. Unfortunately, it does not taste as good as it looks. For example, the 2 rib special looks fantastic but the meat is tough to eat. The noodles are flat, need some flare. The rice bowls lack flavor. I see all these glowing reviews and know I'm swimming against the tide. Probably sacrilege for me to say that the Hmart prepared food tastes better than this restaurant... but I find this to be the case. The prices - not great. You pay for the convenience of being in a market. Counterintuitive as the ambience is what what you'd expect to pay for.

We asked more than once. Each time we were passed over while other things took priority. We eventually left without eating. Even tho the food looked great. I'm not writing this because the wait was long. A wait is fine. Being told "it'll be about 20 minutes" is fine. What wasn't fine was being treated as though we weren't there at all, repeatedly, by the owner. It's a small thing to make eye contact and say "we'll be with you shortly," and it's the difference between a customer who waits patiently and one who walks out feeling disrespected. I can't speak to the food, we never got to try it. I can only speak to how we were treated, and it was disappointing enough that we won't be returning. 어느 정도 붐비는 저녁 시간에 아내와 함께 방문해 자리를 안내해 달라고 요청했습니다. 그런데 아무런 응대도 받지 못했습니다. 인사도, 대기 시간 안내도 없었고, 저희가 서 있다는 사실 자체를 인지하고 있다는 어떤 표시도 없었습니다. 한 번이 아니라 여러 번 요청했지만 그때마다 그냥 지나쳐졌습니다. 결국 식사를 하지 못하고 나왔습니다. 기다리는 시간이 길어서 이 글을 쓰는 것이 아닙니다. 기다리는 것은 괜찮습니다. "20분 정도 걸립니다"라는 안내 한마디만 있었어도 괜찮았을 겁니다. 문제는 사장님으로부터 저희가 그 자리에 아예 없는 사람처럼 반복해서 대우받았다는 점입니다. 눈을 마주치고 "곧 안내해 드리겠습니다"라고 말하는 것은 아주 사소한 일이지만, 손님이 편안히 기다리느냐 무시당했다고 느끼며 나가느냐를 가르는 차이입니다. 음식에 대해서는 평가할 수 없습니다. 맛볼 기회조차 없었으니까요. 저희가 받은 응대에 대해서만 말씀드릴 수 있고, 그 응대는 다시 방문하지 않을 만큼 실망스러웠습니다.

This was my third visit and I went out of my way to come back, but unfortunately I tried something…read morenew that I did not end up liking. I ordered the pork vermicelli and found the pork to be overly sweet. It had a saucy texture and I am used to Vietnamese food where the pork is marinated, flame broiled, chopped, and served on top of the vermicelli. This seemed different, almost like it might have been stir fried or just reheated rather than grilled, and I did not enjoy the flavor at all. The dish came with a generous portion of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, a small amount of bean sprouts, and a small amount of chopped peanuts. I wish I had not mixed the peanuts in because I did not like the flavor and it affected the dish overall. I also missed having cucumber, and it could have used a bit more carrot for balance. I would not order this dish again. Service was good as before and the atmosphere is lively, and I do like the place overall, but I would only return for the soup.

The 8 kinds of flavored pork belly was a great experience especially because I love garlic and lettuce wraps with my pork belly.
