    Food 5/5, service 2/5
    Crystal L.

    Food 5/5 Service 2/5 Vibe 4/5 If you love pig feet / Jokbal, this is the place for you. Food is 10/10, AKA to die for! It is a bit fatty, but so comforting and it does give you more collagen if you think positively I gave them a 4 because service is really meh. They do get busy, so service is slow which i understand. But the other day, we were literally the only table there, and we still had to walk up to the cashier to ask for extra water / napkins.... (The server is either sitting at one of the tables chitchatting or inside the kitchen) - not that i need fancy service, but for a place where you do eat with you hands (lettuce wrap)... I would say either check in here and there, or give us extra napkins/sides so we dont have to literally run to them for every single thing... But still, will come hack~ just better service is highly appreciated

    Visited here for Summerlicious and had a great meal. We ordered the jokbal set and Korean fried chicken for our main dinner. For appetizers, we had the tangy chicken salad and salmon tataki. Dessert was crème brûlée and cheesecake, all for $35 for dinner. Dinner is about $8 more than lunch, but many of the options overlap. So unless you're ordering the jokbal or tataki, lunch might be the better value. That said, those two were actually my favourites from the meal. The desserts were a bit underwhelming and nothing too special, though they did have a Pocky on top of the cheesecake. I'd highly recommend coming here specifically for the jokbal set. It was a lively weekend evening, and the place was pretty loud. It is a bar, after all, so if you're hoping for good conversation in a group, this might not be the ideal spot. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and would come back to try more of their small plates, but I'd probably skip dessert next time.

    Came here for Winterlicious lunch! Made a reservation online. Service was extremely slow, but it was busy and there were only 2 wait staff, so it was hard to flag either down. The salmon tataki was nice and the sauce was tasty. Tasted like a thin sashimi with sweet citrussy soy sauce. The meal set was incredibly filling, but it would have been so much better with lettuce! The creme brule had a good layer of sugar to it, and wasn't too sweet. In all, it was very worth the price.

    Had to wait a bit before being brought to the table, despite the restaurant being empty. The jokbal platter was bigger than expected and tasted great. Our server was very kind.

    It's all about what you are looking for. If I look for delicate/authentic Korean food then I do not choose this place. If you look for extensive beer menu I don't come. But if I am with a friend to catch up over randam ok beer and casual snack food, and that I am in the Yonge & Sheppard area, then this place is perfect, and I will come visit again. The tables were nicely spaced out, dim lighting, music is right volume that does not interrupt conversation. Menu is unique. Tuesday evening at 5:30, we arrived and we were the first customers. The list of draft beer was limited. I stayed with Sapporo draft as it was the safest option to go with their food. My gf had Golden Ale (draft) which was very refreshing in spite of high alc percentage. Impressed by its glass :) Food was just OK. #KIMCHI FRIES w/BULGOGI: Good snack. I do not have more to say. #YUKE: OK though a bit bland and no textural appeal, but appreciated the fried lotus roots and seaweed sheets on the side. #Spicy Salmon: To me, I felt it a bit stringy, and no melty texture on the tongue. They have good selection of cocktails. I did not have a chance to try it today! Judging from the price point, I expect it should be good - I come back to try a few cocktails next time! By the time we left around 8:30, the place was busy.

    This is my second time here and I love their consistency. It's always great service and great food. The drinks were amazing as well. They open late so you get to enjoy some sports , grab a drink, hang out with friends and chat. The servers are all very friendly. I had the jejuk bibimbap this time and it was just the right amount of spice. Amazing place to check out!

    It's been awhile since I've dined at Han Ba Tang and menu has changed since. Prices are a bit higher than some restaurants but I recommend this place for ordering a couple of items on the menu and sharing with your group of friends or family. There are a lot of shareable items on the menu and more spicy vs non-spicy items. Menu is a QR code which makes it easy to access and to check back if I want to order more items. Host / server was very kind and gave my friend and I enough time to decide on what to order. Ordered the Corn Ball, Yule (Korean Style Beef Tartare and the Spicy Pork with Kimchi & Tofu to pair with a pint of Sapporo. Summerlicious was ongoing but opted to order from the regular menu instead. My favourite was the Beef Tartare as it's flavour and overall taste was delicious. It was refreshing and rare to find a good beef tartare. This was different than a Western or French take on this dish but it definitely suited my taste palette. Corn ball tasted a bit on the dryer side so I probably would not order again. Overall, a pleasant experience at Han Ba Tang and a bit on the pricer side but it's a nice treat ever so often. I would return again and try out their other items on the menu!

    Came here after visiting a festival nearby on a weekend evening. Most of the restaurants were quite occupied and stumbled across this spot that had a table open. Based on the reviews, the jokbal is the most popular food item on the menu. Original Jokbal (Regular size): It's the perfect amount for 2 people. I don't really have this quite often so I can't entirely critique on how authentic it is but it tasted delicious! I was surprised by the portions of the pork was much more than I expected. Tteokbokki: We got the spicy rice cakes as well to go with the Jokbal. The sizes were reasonable and the sauce was a bit spicy but was manageable compared to the usual spice. Also nice to add to your jokbal wrap as well if you want to combine the two. We sat at the patio seating since it was pretty busy inside. The seating was still a good atmosphere despite being outside and had cute fairy lights. They also have soju for around $18 which is cheaper than the usual Korean bar. The service was quite fast and efficient. They have a lot of seating for big groups as well as more smaller groups. Overall, I had a great experience here and would totally come back again for a night out in the area.

    Never a dull moment if you order their red wine sangria lol! Amazing drinks, shots, and specials throughout the week. Their food is good and reasonably priced. Service is quick and efficient. I enjoy the music they play - it's a cozy and fun vibe.

    My work recently changed offices to North York, and as opposed to the downtown core, the Yonge/Sheppard area has a fantastic amount of dining options, specifically asian restauraunts. Han Ba Tang is described as Korean Fusion cooking and their dishes are amazing. From the fried pancakes to duck, chicken, bento-style boxes/dishes, and bao sandwiches everything we tried was delicious. Favorite was the jokbal dish, recommended by the owner and it didnt disappoint. It's best to come here with a group as sharing dishes family-style was definitely the way to go. Most nights of the week this place is incredibly busy and its easy to understand why. If you're looking for an upbeat place to eat/drink and have fun, this is a great spot in North York.

    Came for a quick snack before the night was over. Ordered Yuke Bibimbap and a mojito. The server was very nice, it wasn't too busy so service was quick. Didn't mind the place. It was nice. As we were leaving it was starting to get busy!!! Looks like a hot spot for drinks and snacks

    Matcha Cheesecake & Vanilla Ice Cream
    Jessie L.

    Came here for their summerlicious program and it was delicious! The salmon was fresh and the beef tataki had delicious flavours! I really enjoyed the japchae and beef bulgogi dish on the hot sizzling plate - highly recommend ordering both and mixing the two dishes together. The vanilla ice cream was as expected but had interesting rice krispie like puffs sprinkled on top. The matcha cheesecake was very thick and delicious. I highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the neighbourhood.

    Took my princess here for some Japanese craving and introduced her to oysters (Tue/Wed buck deal)…read more--- it was a good vibe

    It's been a while since I came here, it was way better pre-covid…read more We ordered a bunch of things- somehow EVERYTHING came out at the same time. The food left a lot to be desired and we all felt very bloated leaving the restaurant. * Double salmon roll - rice was kind of hard, fish was "dry" - you could tell that it was pre-made and perhaps been sitting, waiting for service * Crispy pork belly - greasy * Tiger shrimp - flavour was nice, but we felt the shrimp while cooked, wasn't coming to the table "freshly" cooked * Galbi - perhaps a personal preference, but we thought the cuts of beef were quite fatty. * NFC - dry and cold * Rainbow natto - probably the best item served? * Bulgogi tacos - these were smaller portions before and I think I prefer them smaller so that you can have more variety in what you're eating. Overally I found these extremely greasy and the ratio of beef to wrap was off, there was too much meat for the wrap. * Japa burgers - huge - you could eat one burger and be full. these were smaller (also cheaper) before. * Oysters - the "buck-a-shuck" oysters are EXTREMELY small, not worth it at all. Service was mid at best. We appreciated the bartenders offer to make some of the beverages non-alcoholic. I expected better for an early seating when there weren't many customers. Like I said, somehow all the food came out all at once, which really concerned me and made the eating experience quite difficult. That, coupled with the lack of attention throughout the meal, made for a sub-par dining experience.

They have a jukebox to add in your songs (long waitlist) and honestly was quite packed on Friday night as well. The server Denis presented us to the dart room where a couple was there. Our group was 5 people so he asked them to just move to the other table so we can take the other two. There were 3 tables in that room. This was perfect because we basically were in a private room, huge plus! We arrived on time for the happy hour and got lots of drinks, no food at all. The shots were pretty watered down or just did not taste 40% vodka at all. Also grabbed two wine bottles outside of the happy hour. Place is quite nice, very fun. Got a free shot, server was so kind as well. A great night indeed. Washroom for women is downstairs and men's washroom was beside the darts room. Would love to come here again for sure.

    Food: /5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: Hubby ordered the fish & chips. I had a penne pasta with beef. For bar food I think the cook at the Frog is actually pretty good. The food was delicious. I couldn't finish the pasta because I also ate the garlic bread that came with it. So I packed that up to go home. Just keep in mind people this is a pub. It's not a gastro pub where the food is supposed to be michelin star. So adjust your expectations. Having said that I still think the food here is decent. I haven't had any horrible food here. Service: We had a lovely black lady serving us. I didn't catch her name unfortunately. But we have been served by her before. She's perfectly nice & our service from her was great. She took our drink orders first. And then we placed our main dish orders. The food came out relatively quickly as well. We came here for lunch on a Saturday. Ambiance: The furniture has been rearranged a bit. There used to be a sofa at the back near the stairs to the washroom. Now there's a large table there. Other than that it's still the cozy pub vibe. I'm not sure why people have given recent bad review for this place. Hubby & I have been going here on & off for years & not had a bad experience.

The server looks cute but doesn't seem to be knowledgeable when we had questions (and keep forgot our requests..) I support local businesses and hate to say this.

    Service was good and food was delicious…read more We got fried rice and bulgogi, overall it was yummy! We got here at 5pm on a Sunday. It was only a couple of tables that had customers. Shortly after, the whole place got so packed! So I guess that's something to watch out for in terms of timing. I specifically preferred this place because of the location and good parking spot. Overall, I'd go back here again.

    Spicy Stir-Fried Squid and Pork Belly…read more I could hear the wok going absolutely crazy in the kitchen, so my expectations were high before the dish even arrived. It came out sizzling on the hot plate, with the oil still crackling. The pork belly was thick-cut but perfectly sized for one bite. The real surprise, though, was the squid. It had that firm, springy chew you get from grilled squid, but the flesh was also surprisingly thick and substantial. It felt like an indestructible little fighter that just wouldn't give up. Every bite turned into a tiny tug-of-war between my teeth and the squid, and I genuinely loved the texture. The shredded onion, zucchini, and carrot each added a different texture, with the zucchini especially helping cut through the richness. Almost every chopstickful had some meat plus two or three strips of vegetables. The ratio was pretty much perfect. It is on the expensive side, though. I checked Jindallae afterward and a similar dish there is around $22, making this one roughly 30% more expensive. A little disappointed that I didn't get the eggplant banchan I'd heard so much about. The side dishes I did get were simple and very home-style in their seasoning.
