Hana is the newest Korean snack (boonshik) restaurant that opened in ATL and it definitely needs some hype and attention. This restaurant is actually opened by the owners of Todam in Duluth & Suwanee and it's their great attempt in international fusion Korean snack food. This restaurant is located near the 109 Assi plaza across the Starbucks, and is located in the same plaza as Starbucks. I came on a weekday evening and the place was fairly empty, so I was assuming not many people know about it in general. It's a self-serve restaurant, meaning you order up front and you are not obligated to leave a tip. They even advertise "NO TIP" as part of their marketing strategy. Just like any Korean snack restaurant, there is plenty of menu options for everyone. There's anything from kimbap, donkatsu, spicy rice cakes, soup dishes, chicken and much more. After browsing, we decided to order the quattro donkatsu set and the malatang. The review of the following dishes follow below. Quatro Donkatsu Sampler ($26.99) - The price tag may look steep but it's actually easily enough food for 2-3 people. It's a sample of four of their katsus -- the cheese donkatsu, Korean traditional donkatsu, fish katsu and the hamburg steak. You get to try a little bit of everything so that's kind of fun. It's also served with salad, macaroni salad and the soup. To be honest -- I was pretty impressed with the donkatsu here. I'm pretty picky about my donkatsu, but all four I tried were really good. The cheese katsu was crispy and the mozzarella cheese was stretchy and delicious! The Korean style donkatsu's gravy was perfectly sweet and savory and I love how you can choose between the Japanese style and the Korean style. Fish katsu was good and even better with the tartar sauce... and the hamburg steak with that sunny side egg was OH SO GOOD! I highly recommend for anyone who wants to try a variety of katsus to try this one. Don't let the price scare you... and make sure you are sharing with people! Malatang ($15.99) - This was a little different from the malatang I've had before but it was still pretty good! You can't pick and choose your toppings and it's more of a seafood malatang (as there is a complete absence of beef...) but there was definitely a refreshing taste in the soup. They also have flat noodles which is a plus. The taste of the mala is also a lot stronger than I've usually had but it was still enjoyable and not too spicy. I can't wait to see how this restaurant does as ATL really needs some love when it comes to boonshik.. I'm glad they were able to open this place up and I hope this place can get some attention! There's a lot of options so you should be able to find something for everyone at the table -- make sure to stop by Hana and give them a try if you're in the area and you won't regret! read more
