Cute interior with nice service but there was only 1 server working! She was quick but there was still a wait since she had to wait all the tables. The food was presentable and tasty. I got the katsu set with ramen and it was only $20. Very reasonable prices with good food. read more

HanaMichi - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Was in the neighborhood and decided to come in for lunch. There was only one other table seated when I arrived. Decided to go with the pork katsu and mini udon. The food is tasty but service a bit slow. Portion is good and filling for 1 person. It came with a side of banchan of kimchi, cucumbers, and pickled radish. At lunch, it seems more of a dine and go. There is no water refill or checking in. Maybe it was a slow staff kind of day. Recommend if you have time and are willing to wait a bit. Food is doable. They could use more staff in front of the house though. read more

Came in for dinner tonight. Hostess was very attentive, they have cool decor and the restroom is very cool as well. Got the pork Katsu dinner which was delicious. A good portion of meat, crunchy on the outside and well cooked on the inside, delicious dressing, nice little bowl of miso, pickled radishes and kimchi was served on the side to cleanse the palate. Definitely would recommend to try it out. read more

HanaMichi - Pork Loin Katsu - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

It was very disappointing.10 years ago it wasn't like this. I came back because of the good memories that I had but the food has changed so much (for worse) Katsu is not crunchy. Fishcake in tteokboki tasted old. I should've listened to the other yelpers. But the service was quick and the ambiance is cozy for the small group gathering. Honestly, won't be back. read more

I used to live in Korea and their bulgogi bi bim bap was some of the best I've ever had. The server was very nice. The service can be a little slow and you might have to flag them down but it was worth waiting. read more

My friend and I were just walking around when we stumbled upon Hanamichi NYC and decided to give it a try for dinner--and we're so glad we did! We ordered the pork loin katsu and it was seriously delicious. The meat was tender, the breading was perfectly crispy, and everything was super flavorful. The vibe inside was cozy and welcoming, and the staff was really friendly. read more

HanaMichi - Lunch Bento Meal Box - my favorite Chicken kunkatsu with seafood ramen. - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Food (3/5): The food here was a bit expensive for the quality but the portions were quite good. We got the Okonomoyaki, kimono roll, and cheese chicken. The sushi was cut quite large making it difficult to get the full flavor. Also the Okonomoyaki and chicken was a bit bland. However, they were still overall pretty decent. Venue (4/5): Nicely decorated venue with Izakaya vibes. Spacious seating areas, but the only problem was that booths were separated just by a tarp. This means if you lean back you would fall through to the other party. Service (4/5): The servers were friendly and helpful when asked but they didn't check up frequently and were missing for a bit during our meal. The place was relatively empty at the time. read more

This place was definitely a place I was hesitant to go in. Upon going in, the smell was kind of weird and the tables/seats were kind of dirty. The food I got was pretty good though, kind of a Japanese + Korean fusion. I got the sashimi with rice + soba noodles combo. Actually pretty good. My family got the ribs and rice plate, and the cold spicy noodles. All of the food was good but the price is also pretty high. Restrooms were kind of dirty, the waitress was nice, and overall a good place. read more

Order: - Katsu Don + Mini Udon (3/5) - Gyudon + Mini Curry Udon (3/5) Pros: - Large portions - Can choose between Korean or Japanese cuisine - They have different specials/combo meals you can choose from Cons: - Expensive - Too many options to choose from - I felt like the menu was too large and should be condensed a bit Overall: It's alright tasting food that is seriously way to expensive than it should be read more

HanaMichi - Katsu don and mini udon - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Maybe almost midnight was not the best time to come here and it sure showed. Amongst all the spots on this stretch looking for some late night eats we rolled in here as it had its little "A" rating, and not too crowded - which as another review mentioned was a bad sign. First off the menus were all taped up and kind of hard to read. Nothing offered sounded interesting which is a hard thing to do for me, so I fell back on my usual sushi roll. I got a yellowtail roll and a huge bowl of kimchi rice was shared. None of it was looked or tasted good. The yellowtail just did not taste fresh and even though I was hungry I pressed on eating hoping I wouldn't be sick in the morning. The rice was nothing special it had a slight flavor but overall just bland. Being in the heart of it all in 'K-town' NYC of course this means higher than usual prices when that's coupled with bad food, that does not sit well with me. If I find myself this way again, I'll be sure to skip. You probably can do much better on this block. read more

Came here for their $15 lunch special. Sat indoors and I got the chirashi + soba combo and my partner got the katsu don + udon combo. Such a good deal! Was seated promptly upon entry and given a choice of hot tea or ice water. We chose hot tea given it was a chilly day and it was served piping hot which was perfect. Chirashi: They have plenty of sashimi, which was great. The dish would have been better with fewer vegetables as I felt it overwhelmed the sashimi flavor and there was not enough rice. Soba: I got cold soba. This was pretty standard tasting and had a great soup base. Katsu don: Best dish out of all that we got. Dish had plenty of egg and was so nice and warm. Sauce mixed with the rice was a perfect combo. Udon: Soup flavoring was a bit off -- too fishy? Didn't really like this dish. The ideal combo would be a katsu don + soba. Would recommend this spot for a good lunch special and they give you a lot of food. My partner and I were both stuffed after this meal. read more

HanaMichi - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Good ambience, a little quiet but the decorations were nice! As for the food, we ordered the sashimi + udon lunch special (udon instead of minisoba for no extra charge) and the seafood ramen. The food looks super nice and the portions are quite big, but I do think the quality could be better. The ramen noodles felt like they were from an instant pack, although the amount of seafood was generous, and the same thing with the quality could be said about the sashimi. Overall, I had a nice experience but think the food could be higher quality for the price. read more

They changed their name from Haru Hana to HanaMichi. Came here last Friday 1/29 for lunch after some grocery shopping at HMart. Their large sign of lunch special caught my eye. I was seated inside a tent (outdoor dining) with a small heater. There are 2 other tables there with barrier in the tent. There was a table space next to me for my grocery tote bags (nice!) I was given hot tea & hand sanitzer while I was deciding what I wanted. Prices are high but standard for midtown Koreatown prices. I would suggest they give the tea after taking order because by the time they left with my order & after I recieved the meal & I was finally ready to remove my face mask; the tea gotten cold (was lukewarm). They can always notify each customer that it would come after they take order so it would stay hot or have a teapot warmer on each table. I normally do not remove my mask until I'm ready to eat (meaning after food arrive). I ordered the lunch set Gyudon + Curry Udon set. It is beef with egg (tiny amount of eggs) in special sauce over rice + curry sauce soupy udon noodle soup (with corn, peas and carrots). I found the curry to be too thin, bland and watery. The vegetables were odd; something seen in fried rice but I actually enjoyed the peas. I enjoyed the gyudon beef rice bowl the best as it was more flavorful. Yum. read more

Here's a clue: If a restaurant in a prime space on the main drag in Korea Town is near empty at 8:30 p.m. on a Saturday night, RUN! There's a reason for it. In our defense, the hubby had just gotten off from working a 12 hour shift, was still recuperating from hurting his back, it was cold and we really just wanted to grab a quick bite and hop on the train home. Plus, in our defense (which there really is none for having come here) is that we had been here once before, about a year and a half a go, and we remember it being not as bad. Then again, it was very late when we had been, after being out for hours helping the homeless and wanted a bowl of ramen. The hostess/waitress/server a/k/a disinterested individual who likes to stand at the front and watch videos and Koren TV while pretending she's alone on a desolate island where none of us exist ... sat us (there were only three other tables seated, all of which had their food and were settled) and then went back to her perch for 10 or 15 minutes, until we had to flag her over to take our order. She then returned to standing at the front, and we never saw her again until we flagged her to bring the check. The busser/back waiter was AWESOME! He pretty much did EVERYTHING that she should have been doing, which is why we tipped him separately since she didn't deserve a single penny at all. Though I've never stiffed and didn't. But, knowing he'd likely see none of that and he deserved all of it. The food wasn't bad. Jayson had the pork and vegetable ramen. He enjoyed it I had the chicken and egg don, over rice with their "special sauce," whatever that is ... and it was basically Korean fried chicken with egg over rice. As my girl Tay would say, we are never getting back together. read more

This is a nice place. However, the servers were not very pleasant. It's also a little more pricey than expected. The menu was laminated booklets that was so worn. I feel if I'm spending a moderate amount of money, more effort should go into little things like this. When we walked in all of our party weren't there yet because one was parking... how they treated us after the seated our partial party was as if we weren't-- No welcome, no water, no nothing. We had to call the lady over for water and while we were there we were considering to order an appetizer, but I guess we were taking too long for her... she walked away without a word. Then the water was brought from the back by another random server who couldn't take orders. My 3 stars is basically that many because the food was actually good. read more

I tried vegetable & pork ramen in HanaMichi. Greeting from host was nice, but waiter just asked me at the beginning "what are you ordering?". Zero emotions, zero greeting from her side. I'm a ramen lover, so I'd rate it by 6/10. I wasn't exited about ramen, but sashimi platter from other table looked pretty delicious, I hope it's better! I liked an ambiance there plus great soju and sake options, but it's not enough for good experience. Best regards guys! read more

Last night was like a movie... me and my friends were in the midst of singing karaoke at Korea City. After the two hours of our concert (aka us singing) we needed to have a brief intermission so we wandered all around Koreatown and we came across Hana Michi. We were starving so as soon as we sat down we immediately dived right into the menu. I ordered the CHICKEN KATSU and Shrimp Shumai, my friend ordered The SEAFOOD UDON SOUP. To be quite quite honest the hospitality was great the environment was perfect, my rice was a tad bit too soft but it could be overlooked at by the constant flavors swirling in my taste buds. All my dishes were good, I wish I could of taken pictures. Thanks for having us Hana Michi Please support the locals read more

As far as seating, This spot is great for large groups/social crowds. You have the option for indoor or outdoor dining so it's great on flexibility depending on your level of comfort. The drinks were great (I ordered the pineapple soju) and the service was relatively quick. I ordered the chicken udon but I enjoyed the appetizer, shrimp shumai, the most. The shrimp was cooked well so the soy sauce just brought all of the flavors together. The udon noodles were great but the broth and chicken weren't as flavorful as I'd hoped. The chicken would've benefited from a more seasoned broth. If you plan on splitting the bill, there's a 3 card maximum. Plan ahead to bring cash or Venmo/Cash app your share of the check. I'd eat here again for drinks and apps. I'm also willing to explore more items on the menu. read more

Cute Japanese place we stumbled upon when exploring Manhattan. They have delicious lunch combos that are relatively affordable for the area. The soba is great as well as their ramen. A bit of a touristy destination, but it was great for a meal in a pinch after visiting the empire state building while we were craving some Japanese food. Very chill spot and I recommend visiting for lunch if you want something easy and touristy. read more

Can't say I'm a regular but I've come here on and off multiple times over the last 2 years alone or with friends and I've never had a bad experience. Even came in with a group once with a baby and the staff were very helpful accommodating the stroller and child seat. Food's always came out in a timely manner and cooked perfectly for me. Taste is also 10/10. I'm glad this place is close to my office as this is definitely one of my top choices if I'm considering eating out for lunch in ktown. I recommend coming here. Especially if you want katsu in ktown! read more

I would give it zero stars if I could. The service was absolutely horrible. I knew it was a bad restaurant the moment I walked in and realized that it was empty on a Sunday night. The food was salty as hell and frankly was subpar. And after leaving I found out the staff had added an extra 10 dollars as tip on my bill without my consent. And honestly I wouldn't have minded if there were ACTUAL WAITING STAFF. But the restaurant didn't have any so I don't see why they fucking expect me to pay when I was basically ignored for my whole meal after the food was out. No servers, no waiting staff, MEANS NO FUCKING TIP HANAMICHI. I basically frickin walked in there to eat crap food and then got robbed. If I wanted to do all that I might as well have gone to a food truck and gotten mugged in the bronx. At least then the food may have tasted good. I would recommend people to avoid this place like the plague because honestly they should be subject legal action for taking money I never owed them and on top of that they should PAY me to eat their food because of how bad it is. read more

Located in Koreatown, this place is pretty quaint. My family of 8 got seated quickly, and we ordered a variety of dishes. I ordered the soba with tempura, and it was a pretty tasty meal. I also got to try the Spicy Rice Cakes and Kimchi Fried Rice, and those were quite yummy. I did unfortunately find a thin piece of metal in my tempura, but the servers were happy to replace the tempura plate. A pretty good spot in KTown for a meal, and also centrally located. read more

If you are looking for traditional Korean BBQ cooked at your table, this place is not for you. However, if you prefer other types of Korean cuisine, this place definitely served its purpose. Very nice decor too! We were greeted by the server right away when we walked in and were seated in a booth like area. It's actually very cute and the booths are separated by a shade. We were a bit disappointed that seafood pancake wasn't on the menu as it's our staple. However, there were plenty of other options. Bulgogi Bento Box: typical bento box with 6 pieces of California rolls, white rice, salad and fried shrimp. Fried shrimp was great and bulgogi was very flavorful and tender. Hot pot soup with pork cutlet and veggies: a bit spicy but was very tasty. Good portion. Would come back again especially for the lunch specials! read more

Stumbled upon this place a couple of weeks back while I was heading to another place for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable their lunch combo (~20) was so I decided to give it a shot. It's a smaller restaurant when you first enter but the decorations were aesthetic. I ordered one of the lunch combo which came with a chicken katsu and fishcake udon. When I was served my food, I was shocked by the portions, side dishes and curry!! At this price point, the food was very well worth it especially since they had lunch combo on the weekend! However, I would say the taste is not authentically Japanese as it resembles more Korean Japanese food rather than traditional food. Also the curry was a bit of a let down since it didn't really have any ingredients inside of it besides the sauce. Additionally, the chicken had two parts, the part that (I am assuming) is thigh meat was a bit chewy. But other than that I would say the food is still well worth it especially since the staff were very nice. read more
