After not having had Korean food for months, I decided I needed to have some. Luckily Santiago had…read morea few options. I picked this one because it was close to where I was staying. I ordered the dolsot bibimbap. My meal came with six banchan, including anchovies and radish kimchi and one with cucumbers and sliced sausage. My entree came out hot and sizzling and I mixed it with the red pepper paste sauce. The bibimbap was okay - it satisfied my Korean food craving, but it wasn't the best bimbimbap I've ever had - there was something missing, but I can't quite put my finger on it. At the end of the meal, they gave me sliced apples for dessert which was nice. The service was excellent. They also offer Japanese sushi in addition to Korean food.l

Hansoban is a classier, more upscale version of Korean dining. Nice decor, food comes prepared and presented quite nicely. The lunch menu has a good selection ranging between 5000-7500, but expect to pay a lot more for the Korean BBQ or for dinner. Service is great and the food is very tasty, portions on the smaller side but not tiny by any meals. If you are more of a cheap eats person, go to Sukine, prices are lower, water is free, and portions are bigger. For a nicer meal with friends or a date - Hansoban will do the trick.

After our meal they brought us refreshing watermelon slices. I would definitely come back here and try something else on the menu.

I recommend making a reservation so you can get a private booth - this really adds to the experience! They are best known for their parrilladas. Where you can share with a couple of friends, a mini bbq with lettuce, kimchi and other delicious toppings to create a very authentic Korean meal. Although they have very good dishes, I don't recommend their seafood (there are so many better, more fresh options). Hands down their BBQ is the best, but if you are vegetarian, I recommend their spicy noodles (they are my favorite) and I like to accompany it with the sides they give everyone - especially their healthy and flavorful kimchi. You can also order a tortilla of eggs and veggies to share. The beauty of this food is that it is perfect to share with a group of friends or colleagues - if you come alone you won't be able to try all of these great flavors you probably didn't even realize you were missing. Sukine also has a mini market where you can buy traditional Korean ready-made food and products to take home with you as well. One of my favorite restaurants this side of town!

Expect to wait in line as they're very popular. You can sit upstairs or downstairs, but upstairs requires you to ring for service.

So for those who like tofu, you can find here what I believe is the best in town. Unfortunately, the owner speaks very little Spanish and no English so you'll have to be patient but the tofu and all other delicacies like mochi, sauces and noodles are definitely worth making your way over. From what I understood, they make the tofu in the back of the shop and are famous within the Chilean-Korean society. They also make their own Kimchi!! Great place and I will come back to update if I try a dish at their restaurant.

We had always walked past this Korean-Japanese fusion restaurant so it was about time we came in - and it was definitely worth it! We started with a perfectly made roll as an appetizer, it had exactly the right cream cheese-rice-fish ratio. Now, here is where we went wrong. I love kimchi and more importantly spice...but both my partner and I over estimated our spice tolerance. We are used to asking for the highest spice level and always being underwhelemed, so here, no different we said we wanted the strongest spice they had--and they held nothing back! My partner, according to the waitress, had ordered the spiciest dish on the menu, the Mun- o dop bap: a delcious rice dish of octopus (unfortunately, it was a bit overcooked), sauteed veggies and a spicy sauce (where on top of the spicy sauce you can choose to add spice) I chose the Kimchi dop bap, traditional korean kimchi (it was delicous I definitely recommend it) rice dish with veggies sauteed in sesame oil. It comes spicy (I asked for extra spice-wrong move). The service was great - our waitress was extremely friendly and the food came out quickly. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic date (although somewhat quiet). Overall, this would have been an exceptional dinner if we hadn't gone over board with the spice. However, we definitely warmed ourselves up on this cold evening. Tip: Pay in cash and get a 30% discount on sushi. Sit on the second floor -- you will have a great view of the city. If you end up making the mistake of ordering your dish too spicy, ask them for "salsa de unagi" a sweet sauce that can help cover the spice. They will give you as much as you need - free!

Not used to the chives or the heart of palm in my cali roll either, that was very different. This is day two and I am homesick for Michigan, because at least I have a ton of great sushi and Korean options. My veggie bibimbap was less than stellar and besides the carrots and the bean sprout it had way too many weird veggies that don't belong in a bibimbap, ever, broccoli, zucchini and red pepper to name a few.

I had some sort of soup and a cheese empanada + a coke in a glass bottle. The food comes very quickly, 30 seconds after you order it. I did get some comments about being a foreigner but when they realized I could understand what they were saying we all had a good laugh. My suggestion is to order one item first and then look around the room and see what other people are eating. There is a good chance the locals know better than you what is good. If you are in the area this is a great experience, nothing fancy but really fun to watch their system work like clockwork. They also have seating outside but you loose something sitting down.
