The banchan selection was plentiful and kept us happily snacking while we waited for our food.

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... :)

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.

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.

The only thing I wouldn't order again is the fried gyoza--wasn't terrible, but I thought it was pretty average. Maybe it's my fault for ordering gyoza at a kbbq restaurant. Bonus: parking is great but can get busy during peak hours.

We were seated immediately which was super nice and able to order fairly quickly. The restaurant is decently sized and run by the nicest people ever. They were very patient and courteous our whole dining experience in the restaurant. The menu is extensive but with the humid weather my friend and I were very excited for a bowl of cold noodles. The cold noodles were perfect, and the portions were huge for the price you pay! Everything was delicious, and the banchan was probably some of the best I've ever had at any Korean restaurant in the US. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area!

It was a busy day for Mul Naeng-Myeon but they conveniently had a couple tables for us. They can get busy, and there was a line forming as we were eating, so it is understandable if the service can seem a little pushy at times, and this comes out in very subtle ways (i.e. There's no AC, only a small fan. If they want you to leave, they'll position the fan away from you). Cold water is also only available upon request, as well as extra napkins. Otherwise, you'll be wiping your mouth with a one-ply napkin the whole time. The banchan was great. I especially loved the onions and perilla leaves. The kimchi tasted fresh and tangy, but the radishes were a bit too sweet and cut very clunky. The Naeng-Myeon was good; it tasted very heavily of sesame, and not much else. The meat was also pretty tough to chew. Very filling, but expensive for the amount of meat you get. Definitely made use of the vinegar and mustard, which they eventually took away to give to another table. I'm thinking I just ordered the wrong thing and came on the wrong day. I saw what other people ordered, and it looked delicious, always served with enthusiasm. Next time, I'll have what they're having.

As for the food, you have to try the signature dish: gobchang (intestines). For a medium, you get to choose three of four types: abomasum (stomach), tripe, large intestines, and small intestines. Additionally, you get side dishes, a choice of a stew (kimchi or fermented soybean), corn cheese, steamed egg, and salad. They cook the intestines for you before bringing it out to your table, so that it says warm as you eat. They stir fry the intestines with potatoes, onions, garlic and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious. We also ordered the beef tartare, since they had posters of it around the restaurant. The beef tartare is definitely in the top 3 of the ones I've tried around OC and SD. The cuts are thicker than normal and the seasoning is just right. They don't include a lot of ingredients like other places do, but it just hits better. It's within a plaza, so there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. I definitely want to come back for the intestines and the service. A++!
