Paso Robles is becoming quite the foodie mecca. Hana serves delicious Korean dishes with a wonderful assortment of banchan. My wife and I came with quite the large group for lunch. We were accommodated quickly. I ordered the bibimbap. And wifey ordered the Korean fried chicken. Really good food. Definitely coming back here again read more

This place is small but clean. The parking lot can get a little challenging. We have been here three or four times already and finally, I decided to write a review about this place. In the past, we've always had the beef short ribs, and they are amazing each time! However, this time around we switched things around and we were really disappointed. My husband had the soft tofu seafood soup, and first of all it did not look anything like the picture but it had a good flavor. I had the teriyaki chicken and that was the biggest disappointment ever. The teriyaki chicken was extremely salty specially if you ate it along with the sauce it came in. In order for me to be able to eat it, I had to pull it out of the sauce and place it on top of the salt free steam rice. I honestly didn't want to complain because there's always that fear if what if they do something to the food. The service has always been okay and the complimentary side dishes they bring are always delicious as well but next time we are there, we are definitely getting the beef short ribs again. Those are hands-down, the winners :0) read more

This is the only Korean place in Paso Robles. We've been here several times and will say that the food is authentic with several classic dishes. It's family owned and Christina and Daniel have always been kind to us. My usual order of Korean fried chicken has always been on point. Where else will you get super crunchy chicken wings that still crunch the next day?! The soy garlic at the spiciest level is my favorite. We do get the plain fried chicken for the kiddo and she loves it. I love the tofu seafood soup. The ribs are a little too sweet for my taste so I take a bite of kimchi with it, but i prefer savory and salty over sweet. Overall, I'm glad the only Korean place in town is actually a good one and we keep coming back. read more

We are in a bit of a pickle (and we're not talking about the nasty bland neighboring restaurant to this place). We have enjoyed their food on 3 separate occasions over 3 years. They have been good every time. But their price is WAY up there when they have actual 3 and 4 dollar symbol restaurants to compete with. The customer service is also painfully lackluster. They make you feel like being there is a pain in their side. On multiple occasions. If they even exhibited a tenth of the energy that is coming from the K-Pop artists performing behind them, maybe patrons would feel more welcome. The beef plate is always good. It comes with rice, steamed broccoli, japchae, and kimchi. The KFC appetizer is really good. We got ours as the local fave, soy garlic. But even a 5 out of 5 taste cannot make up for their shortcomings. Ordering one beef meal for $28 and Korean Fried Chicken appetizer for $20 really spells out that they would feed a single person for $48. I. Am. Floored! Overall, this averages a 3.2 out of 5. read more

This place has been on my bookmark list for so long and finally decided to drive 45 min. to Paso to try them out. It's a family run restaurant so the flavors were pretty good. I hope they can put out the list for the seasoning for the korean fried chicken so it will be easier for customer to choose from but the batter and chicken were crispy and juicy. Bibimbap was bomb also. But the soup, the flavor was good but I wish they could upgrade their seafood game a little bit. Shrimpies and octopus were the frozen type so very small size bite but will I come back? Yes! I def. will try their galbi next time since they're out of that today and try new flavor for the chicken next time. I think their fried chicken is a must try if you ever visit :) read more

I'm a fan! The food was pretty good and the variety for the ban Chan wish they used a thin line sharpie to make changes to the menu, the changes were hard to read. - short rib: standard, good marinade and not too sweet. It was on top of cabbage instead of onions. - fried chicken: wings and drumettes, the batter kind of reminds me of Popeyes. A bit on the greasy side. We got their sweet and spicy sauce med and there was no heat at all. I'd recommend the chicken sauced, unless you want the option of unsauced chicken too. read more

This place is awesome! We just did a pick up but it's the only Korean place in Paso. And it's legit. We ordered dumplings, bibimbap and kimchi soup with pork. We were surprised it came with banchan for our to go order. The dumplings were nice and crispy. It needed ponzu dipping sauce versus straight up soy sauce. The bibimbap was huge! It was delicious. My kimchi soup was excellent. Lots of flavors. A tad bit salty but make sure you eat with lots of white rice. Generous portions, was able to eat and had a lot of leftovers for dinner the next. Next time we would love to come and eat in the restaurant. read more

It's not what everyone would think that a Korean barbecue restaurant would be like when I've gone to Korean barbecues. It's all you can eat proteins fried rice for a limited amount of time this place is not like that at all. It only sit a couple of people to eat in and the rest is takeout, but it is definitely not the typical Korean barbecue. when I walked in, I was disappointed so unfortunately, I cannot rate their food but when I go out for Korean barbecue, I expected what I normally would get which is cooking my own food at the table. This does not do that. read more

What a hidden Gem in Paso Robles! It was empty when we came in on Friday but I can confirm the food here is solid! We decided to order these items. Seafood Tofu Soup - Solid tofu soup was a large selection of random seafood. Flavors were good, and overall good. (4.5/5) Soy Garlic Chicken Wings - We got medium and it had a kick! Super crispy and flavors were great. Loved this! (5/5) Side Dishes - They definitely have the best side dishes I've had in a Korean spot. Total of 9 different dishes and also REFILLABLE! Enjoyed the potato and fish cakes. (5/5) Overall, it seem to be a small family owned business with two siblings running the shop at the time I was there. Place doesn't look like much but you'd be surprised at how good it actually is. read more

My family and I came here starving and the ambience was bright and inviting. The servers were courteous. The place wasn't overly crowded and so we expected a great experience. We ordered the bibimbap, Japchae, and grilled beef that all came with banchan. Traditional Korean food items so nothing fancy. The bibimbap veggies were crunchy but a bit too oily from the sesame oil. The grilled beef was good and the Japchae with pork was not bad either a bit more sauce for noodles would've been appreciated. We did however have to ask for water (which wasn't refilled) and got a small piece of hair in our rice bowl. I wouldn't however call this a KBBQ. As there wasn't a table grill in sight. Thanks for the experience Paso Robles Hana KBBQ read more

We love this place , their food is amazing. Great portions, many side options. They play K-pop music videos my kiddo love to watch while waiting for food. They are mostly fast and food comes out quick,too. Great service. read more

Thankfully when we went it was slow so the service was awesome! The food was great! I've been looking for a place that sells to tofu soup and it did not disappoint! We will be going there more often! read more

I am serious! This restaurant never disappoints! We went again today (Christmas Eve) they were busy but we received great service and the food was amazing once again! This time we tried their ddukbokki (mild for my daughter lol). The flavor was amazing and the rice cake was nice and soft. There are times I have gotten it at other restaurants and the rice cake is a little hard and not cooked all the way. Hana's seems to use fresh rice cake because it was so pillowy soft like you get it at the dduk jip (rice cake store). It was just amazing. We also got bulgogi this time and the flavor was spot on! My husband and I lived in Korea for 3 years and have had authentic Korean food and coming back to the states we have always gone searching for the "real" Korean flavors we had come accustomed to and this place really delivers! We also ordered the dduk mandoo kook (rice cake dumpling soup) and it was soooo good! It's a traditional New Year's Day soup that is enjoyed any time of the year and very popular among Koreans and theirs was probably the best I have ever tasted outside of Korea! No joke! The broth was exactly how I remember it. Wow! We also like how it's not a huge place... there are a few tables and it's just nice and cozy instead of crazy busy. We appreciate that when we are trying to enjoy a nice meal out with our family! Also, the chef came out this time and he was so friendly and kind! I love it that not only is the food amazing but the people are as well! I cannot say enough about how awesome this place is. I really hope people try this Korean restaurant! My husband and I have had Korean food in Korea and all over the US and man...this place is one of the BEST! read more

Got an order to-go because we've been doing a lot of work this weekend and it's cold and rainy; Hana sounded so good and it delivered in taste and quality tonight. We had the tteok-bokki or spicy rice cakes (spiciest!) and the grilled beef entree. The tteok-bokki was at least as good as I remembered, the sauce was rich and so flavourful. The grilled beef was incredibly tasty as well. The service was great as always, the young lady is always considerate and very insightful and professional. Always happy to stop in when we can! read more

The food is decent, but the menu is quite limited. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing--staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. I've generally found Korean hospitality to be warm and friendly, but that wasn't my experience here. It seems like the restaurant stays in business mainly because it's the only Korean option in the area. read more

AMAZING. I got the soondubu mild and it was just right. The broth was flavorful, and the meal came with rice and banchan. Best spicy cucumber, kimchi, and banchan EVER. I don't know how something so simple was made to taste so good, but definitely worth it. I had the leftover banchan the next day, and it was even tastier! My only complaints are they're not open on Mondays and I don't live in the area. That's how much I enjoyed the meal. Will definitely come back. read more

My husband and I were visiting Hearst Castle and the hot springs, and we decided to see if there were any Korean restaurants nearby, just in case. To our surprise, there was one only 6 minutes away, so we decided to check it out. It was amazing that there was a Korean restaurant in such a remote location, and we didn't have high expectations for the food. We thought it would be Chinese-style Korean food, but we were so surprised! There were so many side dishes, and the food was incredibly delicious. It was just as good as the great restaurants in our neighborhood, which has a large Korean population. We will definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. This is a hidden gem! read more

ordered 2 meals 3 side dishes that required dipping sauce but only found soy sauce. Chicken teriyaki meal had so much garlic in it we couldn't eat it. The pork dish was delicious. The teens waiting on us were not friendly at all and the total price shocked us, we could have gone to Paso Robles inn for same amount and had a cocktail with our meal. So we won't be back. read more

Stopped here for dinner on the way home from San Diego... my son picked it after looking up options on Yelp. Pros- family owned and operated, the father and kids working here were all very nice and helpful. The dolsot bibimbap was cooked well; loved the crispy rice and the fact that it was loaded with veggies! Grilled chicken entree was also tasty and plentiful. The egg on top of the bibimbap was perfectly runny with rich yolk covering the entire dish once we cut into it! They had a good variety of banchan too...kimchi and more veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, etc.) Lastly on the pros, everything was reasonably priced. We ordered two entrees and an appetizer, our bill was less than $60. Definitely felt we had good value! We actually took home a lot of leftovers, so we'll get another meal or two to boot! Cons- the japchae didn't have a lot of color, which translated into not a lot of flavor. I've definitely had better. Lots of restaurants are usually pretty skimpy on the meat portion that comes in the bibimbap dish, but I felt the portion here was extra skimpy (note: they were generous on the grilled meat entree, we took home a lot of leftover chicken!) The location, if you're from out of town and heading back to the Bay Area like me, it's a little bit of a drive off the freeway and an even longer route to get back on 101 Northbound. If you're headed Southbound, getting back onto the freeway is a breeze! With that noted...if you live in the area or are in Paso Robles for a wine tasting vacation, and if you're craving a home cooked style Korean meal, I would suggest giving this spot a try. If you're really in the mood and don't mind the extra drive, you'll have a tasty meal followed by a short drive through a cute downtown area. Either way, can't go wrong! read more

Amazingly authentic Korean food in the middle of nowhere! You don't have to drive 4-5 hours or fly to Korea to find out what Korean food or what Korea tastes like. If you don't appreciate this hidden gem, get some pizza or burritos next door. As someone who grew up in Korea, eating Korean food for last 55 years, all over the world, this is a treasure, a diamond in the rough. I would have never imagined when I moved to the area 37 years ago that one day I can just transport to this taste of Korea and eat our moms' and grandma's food. A dream come true indeed. This is a family restaurant, ran by a hardworking family with amazingly talented mama cooking in the kitchen. Be patient, good things come to those who wait. This is not a McDonald. It's worth the wait for well-prepared, fresh and healthy, generous servings of real, authentic Korean food. A heaven on earth, every time! At least for this guy. read more

Really good food. The fried chicken is wonderful, the pot stickers and egg rolls hit the spot. Getting the right sauce for the chicken is the key. read more

We tried this place by chance earlier this week and it was so great we returned 3 days later! We had the Dak Bulgogi, Kimchi Bokkeumbap, potstickers and egg rolls. All delicious! Love that you can choose your spice level We ordered for home the second go. See photos. The servings are huge. A little pricey but worth every penny. I think we just found our new family favorite spot! read more

Love coming here! It's a small quaint place. The people here have always been nice, friendly and service with a smile! The food is great, whether you are going for their Korean food or their sandwiches. Might seem weird but this is the best Philly sandwich with a twist in Paso. You can get it with no spice or with spice. Fries come with it and it's good! Make this a place to stop by and try. read more

One of the only solid Korean places near SLO. Overall, great refillable side dishes and authentic Korean food. I would definitely recommend the stone bibimbap, kimchi stews, and fried chicken. There are some misses on the menu, though, so I would say tread lightly. The service is also a little mix sometimes, I'm sure the waiters don't do it on purpose, but sometimes I feel like I'm being judged, but overall they're nice people. read more

From Fresno traveling through Paso for work in SLO, stopped for lunch. Hot stone bibimbap w beef & mixed veggies incl medium yoke egg (I ask for runny yoke). A solid 5 stars. The stone bowl was 2/3 toppings and 1/3 rice, very nice ratio. Toppings were impressive (forgot to take pix), also plentiful of leftover. Nice rice crust at the bottom that wasn't soaked in oil like other places. Next day went back for lunch, had Galbi grilled short ribs (4 stars). Plentiful but the marinate was bit salty (but okay when eaten w bite full of rice). Tasty morsels and cooked to perfection. Multiple banchan sides, each has its own unique flavor, appreciate refills. read more

We stopped at the new Hana Korean BBQ and Fried Chicken for a lunch after running some errands. We were pleased to see a new Korean restaurant in this location. There are new owners with an expanded menu as of yesterday, according to our wonderful server, Christina. The service was very prompt, attentive, and friendly. After placing our order, banchan were brought to our table to enjoy while our entrées were being prepared. They included kimchi, potatoes, and glass noodles. We started with the Bacon Roll appetizer, which is a house specialty. It was quite tasty with bacon wrapped rice deep-fried to perfection. For entrées, we chose the Hot Stone Bibimbap and Grilled Beef (Bulgogi). The Stone Bibimbap is available with one's choice of beef, pork, spicy pork, or chicken. The bowl was plentiful and delicious. The marianted beef was cooked and served with onions. It was quite flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed our excellent meal here. If you are looking for authentic Korean fare, look no further.

Very surprisingly good Korean food in central coast. KFC was delicious with the honey cheese powder. Ban Chan were very solid. Dol sot bibimbap great too. Short rib soup was decent, needed a little more flavor. Happy to have stumbled onto here. read more

I have gone here in the past but the place has recently changed ownership in May was what the young lady said. I'm just going to be upfront and say got damn the KFC wings are perfect!! I preferred the soy & garlic sauce over the yangnyum. But both were cooked on point and so juicy. We also ordered the spicy pork which was also delicious. You can't go wrong with the banchan and Mama-san even sent us out a free house salad. It is great to finally have some real good Asian food / Korean food in town. This will be our new wings Wednesday spot for sure. read more

Came here early (5:30pm) for a quick dinner with my husband and toddler and got seated immediately as we were the only ones there. Parking is ample. We ordered the galbi, seafood tofu soup, and japchae. The soup was my favorite here even with no spicy as our spice level. Japchae wasn't bad and a huge portion. The galbi was a bit on the saltier side for my tastebuds but if eaten with rice, it should be okay. The waitress was accommodating and the atmosphere played K-pop music which kept my daughter interested because of the music videos playing. Overall, decent since there's not many Asian spots around here. read more

We decided to stop here and eat after coming back from the hot springs, and it was definitely a great choice. The food was delicious, and the service was great.
