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.

For awhile I have…read moresearched for quality tofu and although it has become somewhat popular and you can find it at various places, the taste just doesn't do it for me. 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. It tasted more like a stir fry than a bibimbap.

This restaurant won my heart…read more I've been living in Santiago for a few months now, and I first ate in Ootoya with the sole intention of having a regular weeknight dinner. Zero high expectations. I got the Shirashi Sushi, and the fish were absolutely and absurdly fresh, cut to perfection, and the rice perfectly cooked. I was really impressed that the quality was so much higher than your regular japanese place. Second time I got the Sumo Ramen. I've had ramen in millions of different places, from high-end restaurants to roots japanese restaurants in the basement of a building. This one is the best one I've had, no doubt! The broth was out of this world and the noodles had an amazing texture. When I thought they couldn't cook ALL the menu so perfectly, I once again ate there, this time the Ootoya Soba - I still have no words for it. It's cooked in a special sauce that you just want to stop whatever you're doing and thank whoever brought this marvelousness upon the world. It's the perfect amount of spiciness so you can also enjoy the great flavor of the dish, which is seasoned to perfection. They're also very generous with the amount of seafood, which is not usual in restaurants. I highly recommend. They are good at absolutely everything that comes out of that kitchen. Huge fan, 10/10!

My husband got the shoyu cha-su ramen and completed the entire bowl! Chill environment during lunch time and pretty diverse menu of Japanese and Asian food.
