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!

Came to Hanu BBQ on a Sunday evening for some AYCE with the homies, and surprisingly this place was…read moreDEAD. Like... where everybody at?! Honestly though, that worked out perfectly for us because the service was ON POINT! First time here and I was impressed. The servers stayed checking on us, bringing out meat, replacing things, and making sure we were good. I love good service, especially at AYCE because there's nothing worse than being all-you-can-eat but you're sitting there waiting all-you-can-wait. The meat quality was bomb too! No frozen, frost-bitten pieces looking like they just came back from Antarctica. Everything came out at a nice temperature, looked fresh, and tasted good. The sides were delicious too. Honestly, I like this place better than Manna.... Yeah, I said it. Only downside is NO DESSERT! Manna got them beat there. After destroying Korean BBQ, sometimes you need that little sweet treat to tell your stomach, "Okay bro, we're done now." Overall, Hanu is definitely one of the better Korean BBQ spots I've tried in South Bay. Good meat, good sides, GREAT service, and on a Sunday evening we basically had the place to ourselves. Definitely coming back with the homies.

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!

My favorite Korean spot in San Diego. Every meal I've had here hits the spot!…read more Recommendations: * Premium bossam: tender and flavorful. The small is perfect for two people to share. * Original yukgaejang with ramyun: rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. You can ask for mild if you're sensitive to spice. * Brisket cold buckwheat noodles: refreshing and especially good on a hot day. The food is consistent, and the banchan is solid too, with their kimchi being a standout. Service is always nice and super efficient. Definitely one of my go-to recommendations for food in the Convoy area.

Also ordered pickled radish to compliment the chicken. We got our orders 10-15 mins so ain't bad since three tables were waiting for their orders too. Great customer service.

To an empty restaurant with only 1 small party in front of us so we sat there for no more than 5 minutes and our table was ready. Lady came around to give us our grill and turn on the tablet menu for us. I LOVE how you can order as you please and don't have to wait for anyone to come take your order or deliver it to you. They have the little kitty robot server things! Makes the experience so much more pleasurable, fresh food and you don't have to worry about anyone getting your order wrong. Service was super nice. Restaurant was very very clean. My usual manna bbq is the one up by Bonita high school but I think I'd rather come to this location for now on just because of the little robots. Super pleased with my experience today

I came back again to give this place a second try, and unfortunately, this experience was even…read moreworse than the first. The workers were visibly stressed, and the service was extremely disappointing. My server, Sunny, was asked on four different occasions for help with simple requests, including rice paper and green tea. Each time, I was either ignored or told nothing, and she never came back to check on us. If you are my server, I expect to actually be SERVED, that means being attentive, answering questions, and following through when your customers ask for something. And honestly... why was my green tea served in a CAN???? That was not what I expected at all. A huge thank you to Josh and Gian for actually stepping in, helping us, and being consistent when our own server was not. They were the ones who made an effort to assist us. Also, just to clarify for anyone looking at the receipt: there were 4 of us, NOT 16. After coming back specifically to give this place a second chance and having an experience that was somehow worse than the first, I think it's safe to say I won't be returning. I expect basic attentiveness and customer service when I'm paying for a dining experience, and unfortunately, that was missing this time. Worst $145 ever spent.

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.
