    Great restaurant tucked away a few streets from ktown. The service is great and the banchan variety is good. the rice comes in a stone pot and you can scrape off the burnt pieces after for a nice treat.

    Kimchi jeon
    Serapina C.

    Such a cozy and warm restaurant that embodies the quintessential Korean soul. I came to Hanbat for the first time (trying to make my way through all the Korean restaurants in NYC's K-Town) and had a delightful experience. Saturday night, we didn't have a reservation and there were already lots of full tables, but we were seated fairly shortly (for 2). Friend and I shared the kimchi jeon and then she got the beansprout soup, I got the gamjatang. Kimchi jeon was absolutely banger, I don't know if this is accurate but because she was so thick yet fluffy and pillowy, it almost was reminiscent of focaccia (kimchi focaccia?). Loved the chewiness, and the kimchi flavor was nice and savory. Big fan of the gamjatang as well - pork slides straight off the bone, the broth had a nice earthy and peppery flavor, and I def felt the spice for that one. Service was very generous and overall I had a fulfilling meal, reminded me a lot of my own family's cooking so that felt nice :')

    Wanted to try another restaurant next door but it was packed. This didn't disappoint though, and I'm glad we came. They had plenty of banchan (not pictured) and seating. I remember coming here several years ago and the quality has remained pretty consistently high. - Galbi, (4.5/5): my fave of the 3. Perfectly marinated and had a nice chew. Lots of meat so I think the portion size is worth it. - Spicy stir fried pork, (4/5): it was saucy, pretty standard, and had a nice kick to it. Lots of stir fried veggies as well (though it did feel like there was more veggie than pork) - Seoullungtang, (4/5): warm, soulful and comforting. My main complaint is that there were not many beef slices, but I liked the customizable additions for salt. Surprisingly finished all the food as a party of 2... thought I would have food to take home but we were pretty hungry!

    Came here for a quick lunch on a week day. Service was very fast which I appreciated. Side dishes were fine. Bibimbap was okay. It was hot, but it didn't come in the traditional stone bowl which makes the rice slightly crispy. Overall, I would probably return again if I needed a quick bite and was in the area, though I would not seek out this restaurant again.

    Bean paste stew with seafood

    This is my go to spot whenever I'm craving bean paste stew or sul rung tang! I'm always able to walk in. The space is large for NYC standard. Their bean paste stew is my favorite! Every bite is flavorful and every ingredient soaks up the bean paste nicely. The sul rung tang is creamy and beef essence.

    Yes, it's an easy spot to hit up if cho dang gol's line is too long (which it always is) but it's also a cozy, authentic restaurant as well. The servers are all super nice and they refilled our banchan happily 3-4 times. They have such an extensive menu, including lots of vegetarian options! I got the japchae which was large enough for two meals, and it was pretty decent! My friends loved their dishes as well. The bibim guksoo was very refreshing and perfectly sweet and spicy. The galbi jjim, i thought the soup was pretty light but the meat was so tender. The stone pot pork over rice was okay imo but my friends also really liked it.

    I'm a Spicy Pork enthusiast (I order it 90% of the time!) and I paired it with the Ox Knee Slices here. The flavors were standard K-town fare but the highlight of the night was definitely the server. She was hilarious and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a friendly atmosphere, this is the place!

    If you want to be seated rather quickly and just need a quick fix of korean food or just happen to have a large party, this place gets it done. I thought my meal was lacking flavor and the some of the banchan tasted old. You know something's up when the potato salad tastes like blue cheese :( There's barely any meat in their soups too, I only had a few small pieces. So I felt ripped off paying $30 for soup and pancake

    Came here with some friends and got a bunch of dishes to share. The inside was quite large with lots of seating, but you should still expect a bit of a wait (we waited 15min so it was not bad at all). The portions were smaller than I expected but the food tasted homey and comforting. It didn't stand out but it wasn't bad at all. The service was not the best, but it might have been because we don't speak korean. We asked for some bowls a few times but the waitress never brought them to us (maybe there was a language barrier?). Overall this place is pretty good if you don't want to wait in the long line that the other korean restaurant had. But the service left something to be desired if you don't speak korean

    Han Bat is a small, straightforward Korean restaurant located just outside the main Koreatown area, though it's still in that general neighborhood with other Korean spots nearby. The place was quite crowded when we went, which is usually a good sign, but we were seated almost instantly. The service was fine but felt a bit slow at times, and paying was a little confusing since you have to go up to the front register yourself rather than having the waitstaff collect the check at your table. The banchan, or side dishes, were pretty standard. They did include one that was like a sweet mashed potato, which was a nice little change, but the rest were what you'd typically expect at any Korean restaurant. For our meal, we got an assortment of bibimbaps and a kimchi bokkum. The bibimbap was quite standard, very similar to what you'd get at other places. It was a satisfying and hearty meal, but we didn't feel it particularly stood out from versions we've had elsewhere. The kimchi bokkum was better, with a solid spicy kick that wasn't overwhelming. It came with a good mix of ingredients like chewy rice cakes and pieces of pork mixed in, which made it more interesting. It's a reliable spot for classic Korean comfort food in a no-frills setting.

    Banchan
    Fateha A.

    Dinner special 1 entree & 1 small stew for $28. 3/5 sundubu jjigae- requested extra mild, but was still way too spicy 3/5 jeon- decent, not as bland as other places, was able to eat it w/o salty soy sauce 4/5 kimchi cheese fried rice- pretty good, wish it was a bit less spicy Banchan: 4/5 broccoli- pretty good, seasoned 2/5 potato salad- not a fan of anything with mayo 3/5 Japchae- pretty decent 3/5 kimchi- very spicy, very fermented 3/5 tofu kimchi- spicy

    Bibimbap 40 a. Beef Soon-Doo-Boo  소고기순두부

    We originally planned to go to the restaurant next door, but we were late and there was already a long line, so we decided to give this place a try instead. At first, I was a little worried the food might not be as good because there was no line at 12 PM and only a few tables were occupied. But we immediately regretted not trying this restaurant sooner. The bibimbap we ordered was the best we've ever had in NYC. It wasn't over-seasoned, the ingredients were very fresh, and the crispy rice at the bottom was perfectly crunchy and delicious. I strongly recommend that the restaurant update their menu and banner to let people know their bibimbap is one of the best in NYC. They deserve more customers.

    Banchan time!
    Lucia C.

    My grilled squid tasted ok. It definitely tasted like it was something you buy frozen from a pack but the Soon Doo Boo Chi Gae reminded me of my mother's. I will order that again next time as an entree alone. This is the 2nd time I am coming here. Service can be hit or miss.

Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, which was delicious and flavorful, and also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill Manhattan. My only complaint was that I noticed a male staff member leave the restroom without flushing the toilet, which took away from an otherwise positive dining experience.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street.

I usually order spicy ramen at most ramen spots, so that's what I went with my first time here. Big mistake. The spicy ramen really takes away from the depth of flavor. If you actually want to appreciate the broth, the classic ramen is the way to go. You can always add spicy oil yourself. A few things could definitely be improved. For an upscale ramen spot in the heart of NYC, I was surprised the tap water was straight-up lukewarm. Nobody wants lukewarm water after eating a piping-hot bowl of ramen. I'd also avoid the bar seating if you can. The seats aren't very comfortable, especially if your back tends to get tight from sitting hunched over. Another small but surprisingly annoying issue is the front door, it doesn't have a slow-close mechanism, so it's constantly slamming shut. Depending on where you're sitting, it can get pretty loud and distracting while you're trying to eat. On the positive side, the service was great. The staff was attentive, and the food came out incredibly quickly after ordering, which I really appreciated. The ambiance definitely fits the upscale NYC ramen vibe without feeling overly fancy. You don't need to dress up, casual clothes are completely fine. I'll definitely be back, classic ramen next time, no question.
