My husband and I usually go there after 8pm in the weekend. The waiting time without reservation is around 15 mins. No reservation allow for less than party of 4. Make sure to make the reservation if you have a large group. The restaurant could get really busy. They offer private room for reservation.

The servers are very attentive and responsive. I was impressed that someone will come serve you immediately once you press the Green button on the table.

We have ordered BBQ Combo A (for 2-3)$58.95 Prime beef ribs, sliced beef,chicken, and spicy port marinated in house special BBC sauce.

It comes with 2 bowls of steamed rice and 5 different kinds of complementary Korean appetizers, 3 out of 5 are pickles vegies.

The potion is alright but definitely not enough for 3 people. My husband and I were only 70% full after finishing the meal. The Prime beef ribs are the best among the meats on the combo, it's juicy and tender. I like that the meat were marinated in different kind of sauce because there are some places that they only use 1 sauce to marinate all of the BBQ meat.

Gamja Jeonol - Spicy Pork bones soup with assorted vegies

It also comes with 2 bowls of steamed rice and 5 different kinds of complementary Korean appetizers, 3 out of 5 are pickles vegies.

We were quite satisfy with the portion. There was around 7 pieces of pork bones and lots of vegies. The broth wasn't greasy at all and it tastes better once the pot starts boiling because the onions and scallion brings out the flavour of the broth. The soup for us was not spicy until we accidentally ate the jalapeno in the soup.

Hanwoori Special Fried Rice -Korean style fried rice with bbq beef

I love the texture of the eggs and the flavour of the sesame on this fired rice, However, the best fired rice should achieve wok hei, the smoky flavor you get from the vaporization and combustion of oil as the rice is tossed in the air, which this fried rice was not doing a good enough job.
