Jajangmyun was good. They usually have nice side dishes that are refillable. Best part is that they have tons of tables and plenty of parking spots, no need to stress about waiting for either.

Came here a few times and the food and service was really good. When we first found this place we thought it was a gem with great food and service. The past few visits was quite the opposite. Tonight, we waited by the entrance without anyone acknowledging us and we had to literally ask for a table. After sitting down, a server brought food to the next table and I tried to get her attention to order, she glanced over and walked away. After waiting for a while we had to go near the kitchen to asked a server to take our order. It’s not like they are under staffed, they have at least 4 servers working, perhaps they weren’t trained?The last time we were here, I ordered a beef soup and it literally came with 3 very small pieces of beef, it was literally just a bowl of soup. I asked a lady walking past, she’s either the manager or the owner and she checked my soup. She appeared surprised that there’s no meat in the beef soup and went back to the kitchen and brought out a plate of meat.If it weren’t because this place opens late, I really wouldn’t consider dining here. After the past few visits, we’d rather eat somewhere that provides actual service with quality food.Sorry Hanok you’re quite a disappointment. ??

Used to be a good place to eat with good service but it seems like quality and service has gone down greatly. Tried to get the servers attention and she simply glanced at us and walked away. The last time we were here we ordered a beef soup and it came with literally three small pieces of beef in the entire bowl. We brought it to their attention and they did bring us more meat. Perhaps it's a new team in the kitchen but we kept getting disappointed. Will be looking for a new place to dine going forward.

Love the kimchi jjigae here and the side dishes. It allows for one time replenish side dishes. Tea tastes good as well. Customer service was good as well. My friend tried this place and told me all the food there was good as well m. Definitely recommend this place.

Super good food and even better staff! We had our reso at 6, group was suuuuper late but the staff were so patient and friendly with us. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. I would definitely come back here.

Food and price is great. We spent under $120 for a party of six people, including tax and tips! With the current inflation, where else can you get good food for such a good price? The only complaint is that it's hard to get the attention of the waiters/waitresses when you need services (e.g. place order, tea refill, getting the bill). Unfortunately it's always that way with Hanok.

Good prices, fresh ingredients and tasty korean dishes.We've visited here a couple times since it first opened over a decade ago.It's not a place we go by often but it is a nice place to visit for when one has the korean food cravings.The restaurant is big, nicely decorated with traditional east asian decors of korean themes and dark wood.Service is good and attentive.No reason not to return!

The food is pretty good and not too expensive for a Korean restaurant. The venue also looks very nice and is good for large groups of people. The place is also open pretty late at night, which is great if you just want to relax for a while. However, the customer service is not so good and we had to wait a long time to get more tea, refills, the bill, etc.Overall, a good place for a meal with a large group of people, but don't expect stellar customer service.

We orders spicy rice cake and beef soup.Rice cake was not bad but beef soup wasn’t good… they use firm tofu which ruined the whole food and the broth was not flavored and rich enough.Btw, I’m a tofu lover, and have tried many Korean restaurants. Many of them use soft/medium tofu in their hotpot soup which is tasted much better.

They used to have amazing lunch time combos at great values, but then they stopped offering lunch service on weekdays and along with, no more lunch combos.Food is a bit hit & miss these days as some item's quality has dropped (soybean stew for example) while other can be good (kimchi fried rice or spicy pork hotplate), or just okay overall (black bean sauce noodles).At the prices they charge now, you can find other Korean restaurants that are either more value or better quality. I'd say hanok is better left if all other places are full and you're not wanting to wait as they have lots of dining space available while hardly ever being all that busy.

We ordered delivery, hence the the texture might not be at its best, however, the seafood pancake is too thick for my liking. Beef tofu stew is alright.

The pork neck bone soup here is what makes us keep coming back. The other food we've tried are not worth a second try. Service is friendly even if the staffs are busy.

Just got off a long flight and was looking for somewhere to grab a late night bite to eat. This restaurant was located beside our hotel (Four Seasons). I felt the need to leave a review because we had an amazing experience! It was after 10:30pm when we arrived we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Service was speedy! Within a few seconds of sitting down we had menus and tea poured for us. The waitress made a recommendation to try their sizzling stir fry's. Food came out very quickly, it included rice and many different sides (rice, kimchi, tofu, bean sprouts, etc). Everything was delicious! As we were finishing our meal we were already planning when we could return to Hanok for another meal, we will definitely be back.
