    Korean is my favorite cuisine. I was delighted to find this wonderful restaurant. It's in a small strip mall, the exterior is not inviting. Ambiance inside was very comfortable, very clean. Service was professional. One thing I use to judge ethnic restaurants is how many people of that ethnicity are there. Of the several tables occupied I was the only nonasian diner, so I assume authenticity. I had seafood soft tofu stew. It was delicious. Korean restaurants typically serve banchan side dishes, this served them, each was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience excellent Korean dining. I'll be back!

    Everything was so good!! I was in Seoul last year and had the best Korean bbq so this was a great find for that craving. I definitely missed having the egg soufflé but there was so much on the table with the banchan, it didn't matter. The potato and pork belly can be skipped but we(2) ate everything on the combo D. It could have fed 3 people. I was worried because on a rainy Wednesday night we walked into an empty restaurant. By the time we were leaving, it was full. The meats were cooked for us at the table. Great service and the interior is nice. I think next time we would like to try the ribeye and a couple of other items instead of the preset menu. The bulgogi was delicious. I was skeptical of the first item that looked like it was rolled in a tube but it had a lot of great flavor.

    I've always been told Hai Woon Day was the best Korean in Nashville, so I ordered a few things to try it out myself. I will say, compared to most asian places I've gotten via takeout, the portions were fairly small. Here's what I tried: -Galbi: 9/10 - I love Galbi so much, and once again, this was no exception. It didn't have too much fat on it compared to others I've had, and the flavor was great. -Japchae: 9/10 - Sticky, sweet, savory, a perfect noodle side dish. With beef and vegetables, it was so delicious. -Ttukbaegi Bulgogi (Bulgogi Stew): 9/10 - This made bulgogi that much better. The broth is infused with the sweetness of the sauce in the most perfect way. The soup is full of bulgogi, rice cakes, and veggies. Not op of rice, it made for a great dish. -Bulgogi: 8/10 - Classic bulgogi. I can't imagine it being much better than this, but it still gets an 8 because it's not my favorite Korean protein. What I didn't love was the Banchan. There was no kimchi, but instead, some soft spicy cucumbers, macaroni salad, and a few others I don't remember. I prefer when they give kimchi, potatoes, broccoli, and eggs in the banchan.

    I've been coming to Hai Woon Dai for years, and they've remained consistently great. It's easily some of the most authentic and delicious Korean food you'll find in South Nashville. The staff is always welcoming and helpful--whether it's guiding you through the menu or helping at the grill, the service feels genuine. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous enough to leave you full every time. If you order KBBQ (minimum two meats), it comes with a solid spread of banchan and their corn cheese, which is always a favorite. I went to college in Los Angeles and, for years, hadn't found a Korean BBQ spot that reminded me of the places I used to visit--this one comes close. The space has a cozy, homey feel, especially with the family photos on the walls. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back.

    Came here with my friend for lunch and as always, the food is amazing! We ordered seafood soondubu, beef bowl, and tteokboki with cheese. So much food that we had to pack some to go.

    Visited October 12, 2024. We were warmly greeted as we entered, and upon being seated, I noticed the updated menus and the announcement of extended weekend hours from 9 PM to 10 PM. We had two servers: a kind young gentleman who also doubled as food runner and a female server who was less attentive. Although she didn't acknowledge our thanks, she did check on us periodically, so it wasn't a major issue. Our table ordered four entrées, and each one was delicious! My only complaint was that the egg in the Dolsot Bibimbab was overcooked. I corrected this by simply taking it out and added another in from my soontofu soup. Aside from that, the presentation and flavor of all four dishes were delicious. The Galbi was the star tonight--savory, sweet, warm, and tender--definitely a 10/10! My daughter loved it. This hidden gem has been around for over a decade, located in Antioch off I-24 at Haywood Lane, exit 57. I've consistently enjoyed my meals here, but today felt almost like a five-star experience. I can't wait to return! There's also a shared free parking lot and gender-segregated restrooms for anyone wondering.

    Nice neighborhood Korean restaurant. Good food and service. The galbi was a little in the sweet side but still yummy. The Kim h stew was very good.

    I have been dining at Hai Woon Dai for the past 4 years. Never once have a bad experience. Food is always delicious. They have the best Tangsuyuk in Tennessee, 100/10! Bossam was delicious. I wish they served it with raw oysters. That would be amazing! Service is okay to be honest. Ahjumma was not in the mood to smile lol Table was clean and the atmosphere was cozy.

    Cucumber salad,  not our favorite. A little too much vinegar.

    Korean BBQ Combo - made a reservation for 9 and had a long table with three grills. It ended up being $45/person after some drinks and 18% tip. Will definitely go back!

    Don't let the modest exterior fool you, this place serves up the best Korean food in Nashville! They have an extensive menu of all the classics (bibimbap, soft tofu soup, barbecued meats like bulgogi and Galbi, stews for 2, Korean pancakes, you name it). Big portions and authentic taste. Their Banchan is also solid - love their potatoes. Comfy seating with booths and tables, and a back room for overflow seating. Food can sometimes be a little slow to come out if they're busy but it's worth it!

    Recently went here to dine in, but they were closing soon so we ordered takeout. The host/server who took our order was very lovely and super helpful with guiding us through the menu and what the kitchen was still able to make that wouldn't take too long before they closed. As someone who loves kimchi stew, it was very standard and similar to most Korean spots so packed with flavor, and a solid choice. Banchan sides were fresh and plentiful. Everything was delicious and we had zero critiques. Definitely going back to dine in to have a full KBBQ experience.

Unfortunately, while the food was visually appealing, the quality did not match the presentation. The women serving upfront were ok. I ordered the fried pork chop with turnip greens, mac and cheese, dressing, and a cornbread muffin. The pork chop was heavily battered and overwhelmingly salty, with little flavor beyond salt. The mac and cheese tasted artificial, as though processed cheese was used. The turnip greens were tender but lacked seasoning and tasted as if they had simply been boiled in water. The cornbread muffin was dry, hard, and bland. The dressing was also very disappointing and lacked flavor. Overall, the meal was extremely underwhelming and not representative of good home-style cooking. I was disappointed with both the quality and taste of the food, especially considering the restaurant's branding. After only a few bites, I discarded the meal entirely. Based on this experience, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. In my heart of hearts, this place gets zero stars...however, I believe that I have to give at least one star.

The server was wonderful and kept the plates coming so there was no chance of running out. The fried chicken was the real deal with light breading and cooked to perfection.

We were so happy we gave this a chance and waited the hour+ to get in. Without doing much research, the surprises throughout the dining experience made it even better. They pair you up at a large table with other guests. You're introduced as cousins, brothers and sisters, friends, whatever you want! But you're going to be passing dishes the entire start and getting to know your neighbors at the table. So many things came out that were incredibly delicious to try. Chicken, pot roast, mac and cheese, corn mash, coleslaw, potatoes, sweet potato, biscuits, pasta! All of it was incredible. There's peach tea and lemonade too at the table and a pecan dessert at the end. Amazing experience and it was so cheap too. Only recommendation other than to absolutely try this place is to be respectful of the time you're there. They cycle people in and out pretty quick and you're given a card to remind you that when you notice tables near you getting reset for another group, your time is up and it's time to go!
