Great place for Korean food... nice menu.

if i could go lower, i would. the meats were cut pretty okay but the customer service was terrible. me and my family reserved a table of ten and from the moment we walked in, they were rude and dismissive. almost immediately after entering they were very unwelcoming and only served us if we asked more than once. our waters weren't filled despite asking several times. we didn't get many of the items we asked for (chopsticks, bowls, etc). there was no ventilation at all other than the open front and back door (which wasn't opened until halfway through our meal) meaning it got burning hot and smoky inside. the servers even told us to give the meat back if we weren't going to eat it (supposedly to serve it again?) it was the worst korean barbecue experience i've ever had.

This was our first time here and I must say...We really enjoyed ourselves! Even though we came during the Sunday dinner hour and waited a bit to be seated, we enjoyed our first time here.First, since it was busy hours all the auntys working were working hard on all the tables. The uncles cutting meat in front seated us once he saw us waiting patiently. Even the guys cleaning tables made sure we were helped. And of course the aunty to waited our table, had great energy [specially on a busy night]. So their customer service was good to us.The food...my husband order the "Kalbi KimChee stew" and I had "KimChee stone pot mixed rice" ?? along with all their sides!!! The food was so ono, we will be making this spot a more often place for us. We live within walking distance of the resurant and look forward to Goin back. The food really hit the spot after a long week at work.ThankYou Han Yang Restaurant!!!

Pan fried squid and Cheonggukjang-jjigae (Extra-strong fermented soybean paste stew) was great!

They automatically added 15% gratuity to my total and the waitress rudely ask me for some tip on top of that.

Amazing

Actual rating would be 3.5 starsAs a usual customer at places like gen and sikdorak, we decided to try out this little place that I knew was around for awhile but never got the time to try it. The place was nicer than expected, and they have 2 sections: one for dine in off the regular menu and the other side for yakiniku.Right to the meats, the tongue and brisket are favorites of mine at any place and we're probably the best cuts I've had in awhile. The brisket didn't seem to fatty, but it was still moist and soft unlike some of the cuts at other places where it'll dry out after a few seconds on the grill. We also tried their "Kobe" and "tenderloin" meats but they were honestly pretty bad. Pork belly was pork belly, not much to say about that. Oh, and their "special" sauce was a little bland compared to the usual brown sauce you get at other kbbq.The service was OK, but I have to mention something here. They do ADD GRATUITY to your bill automatically no matter how big your party. It does state this on the menu, but I just thought it was a little sneaky since they still have a tip option when you check out.If you're just in town for some brisket and tongue, you won't be disappointed. Just be aware of the auto gratuity and the somewhat slow service.

The brisket and the BBQ beef were delicious! Highly recommended!

the food!!!! the experience!! loved it x

Good food, good service. Very Korean. If you understand what that means you'll be fine.
