I've already been to their newer location in Roslyn so it was nice to try this one in LIC. The staff was very friendly and I was seated promptly (made a reservation ahead of time just in case, and lucky I did. It was literally the only table available)! Yuzu lemonade was very refreshing and I almost didn't finish it since I was stuffing my face! Loved the broth in the cold noodles and it was just simple but comforting. On a hot and humid day, it was perfect! The garlic fried chicken was tender and juicy, did not disappoint. We asked for gloves and they happily brought it over. And last but not least, the grilled beef Galbi was excellent. Great texture and well marinated. I enjoyed it very much. The place was packed and I could see why. Short walk from the local train station so totally easy to get there. The menu had a lot of drink options both alcohol and non. It's a great spot for a casual night out!

One sink outside of the restroom for easy hand washing. You get gloves and an apron for the raw crab. Fine service.

I went on a hot summery day and found the restaurant was to be pretty warm. I ordered the naeng-myeong for something refreshing and I found myself really liking the tanginess of the broth.

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!

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 :)

The Better Half and I secured a highly sought-after lunch reservation here, but it turn out to be…read moreone of the worst meals in NYC. We were first in line waiting for them to open their doors. I think this might have been a huge mistake. You will see why I say this later in the review. The workers were pretty nice and maybe a little too attentive as we felt a little rushed. Constantly checking on us while we were trying to eat, right down to giving us the check. Hey I get it, people are waiting to come in and you want to grab all the customers you can get. However you shouldn't let your customer's feel like you are trying to get them out the door. The better half ordered the Perilla Chicken Porridge. I saw her tase it, one bite at a time and all of a sudden I see her putting a couple of spoonful of the soup that came with the meal into her porridge. I thought that was strange and asked her why did she do that? She said both the chicken and the porridge was really dry as well as lacking flavor. I tried it and I had to agree, so much so that I asked if they could bring me some sesame oil. I ordered the LA Galbi and was really excited to eat it. Unfortunately, it was served lukewarm, dry, and lacked the flavor you expect from Korean BBQ. To me the best thing was the different types of banchan (side dishes) as it had a modern flare and not so much the traditional ones you have at a authentic Korean restaurant. Maybe you should come in last so they give their pre-cooked food to the first people so you will get a fresh cooked meal. Or better yet, go to K-town if you want authentic fresh Korean food and skip the hype!

The broth had a nice kick and was really comforting. But YOU HAVE TO GET THE CHICKEN SANDWICH! This completely took me by surprise. It honestly reminded me so much of a Popeyes chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Definitely not what I expected from a Korean restaurant, but it ended up being one of my favorite things I ordered. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try, especially if you're looking for a late night Korean food option!

The Ziggle Box with Stir Fried Spicy Squid: -Spicy Squid: had a good kick and went well mixed in with the rice.

A friend ate this as I'm not a fan of tempura -Dumpling: was crisp, decent filling -Egg Soup: was light and soothing We shared the Sweet & Spicy Chicken since it was a new special item for them.

The beef was perfection and very flavorful, there's not a single thing I would change. The pork was on the fattier side and I got full after one bite but it was good nonetheless. Their pork buns is my favorite, it's a good ratio of soft bun to pork. The ambiance is very pretty and the prices were great! I definitely recommend this spot!

Came here with a friend to catch up and the food here was great!…read more The Marinated short ribs were delicious and so was the army strew. The army stew was not only flavorful but also had a bunch of toppings inside. The servers were super attentive and even asked us if we wanted our hot pot to be reheated once it sat for a while as we chatted. That being said, I do want to point out that I believe this place is more suited for a bigger group of people. My friend and I enjoyed everything about the meal however, the hot pot was huge and we finished only like 1/4 of it and ordering the meats was a little weird. I am use to going to KBBQ where they tell me that the minimum meat orders is 2 but here, you must at least have two orders of any meat you choose. We both wanted the marinated short ribs with pork belly but ended up with two orders of the marinated short ribs because we were more in the mood for something marinated. Now, this is just a preference of ours but in case you want more of a variety of foods, I would recommend coming here with a bigger group of friends and grabbing a few drinks as well!
