I love that everyone can find something to eat here! My daughter and I prefer Korean food, my son prefers Japanese food. Portions are HUGE, and I always end up with leftovers, which I look forward to eating the next day. They do provide discounts for cash, so make sure you bring a couple Benjamins with you to get 10% (eat-in) or 20% (takeout) off the total. It's worth the drive. read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - Dolsot Bibimbap - comes with all these extras! - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

The place is nestled inside a Japanese restaurant, which can make it tricky to find if you aren't already familiar with the location. They give you both the Japanese and Korean menus at the table. The food was definitely KBBQ, but this is not a typical KBBQ restaurant where you would choose from a variety of or cook your own meats. They also only give you about a tablespoon of banchan to share and if you request more it's $2 per banchan. The food was good but overall overpriced, they nickel and dime you. read more

When I was yelping and I found this place especially that they open late. When I got there I had to wait a little bit, due to it was busy especially on a Friday night. The the staff was friendly and the waitress was tentative to my table. I ordered bibimbap was fresh and it big plate, but I was so hungry, I ate the whole plate. I like the they put in a stone bowl because I like the crispy rice. It perfectly balanced with litte bit of everything, plus the sauce they give you. The vegetables were softed, you choose three different choices of meat you can get (chicken, beef, or spicy pork). I choice the chicken it was good. Plus I ordered desert they have homemade ice cream I got the Yuzu perfect balance of sweetness. I would definitely order it again! read more

6/13/2025: Can you say, "MAYWORE?!" BTW: MAYWORE means VERY SPICY in Korean=매우 매운~lol! Seriously, I wasn't expecting the dish I ordered would be 매우 매운 since, my first-born daughter and I were inhaling at a "Korean Restaurant" located in Santa Rosa CA: I truly thought the food was going to be "watered down, American-style, Korean Cuisine!" Waaaah~was I egregiously assuming wrongly or WOT????!!!! My mouth was "FYWUH" as Elmer Fudd exclaimed while I was bitterly exclaiming, "OOOOOooof~ MAYWORE----MAYWORE!!!!!" Mianhae~Anni mogo (Sorry~I can't eat it)!!!! Seriously, I came to a grinding halt--I immediately stopped eating my dish I ordered, decided taking the dish home, and quickly doctoring it in order, making the dish less spicy and more palatable~ooooof! Anyway, I spoke to the owner who was very surprised I taught ESL/TOEFL in Sokcho, Gangwon Province, South Korea and began speaking to her the Sokcho dialect~lol while my first-born daughter was smirking copying what I said in Korean! Aside, I asked the owner not to make my dish 매우 매운 next visit--CHEBAL= 제발--제발!! Nummu kamsamnida, Samonim!!!!! read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - Ban Chan delish!! So so much and yummyness. We had a great time exploring the veggies and rest of ban c - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Not gonna lie -- based on these photos -- I legitimately thought this was a super authentic Korean restaurant. Their presentation is amazing and so perfectly alluring. But to the eyes and taste buds of a true Korean, everything is off from the flavor to the colors of the food. The best way to describe this place is that they serve Korean style food that's designed and flavor tested for people who are not Korean. What type of people you ask? I have no clue. I ordered a spicy bulgogi (돼지불고기) + kimchi stew (김치찌개) dinner combo set and both dishes along with every banchan side dish tasted weird. Kimchi stew tasted like something I've never tasted in my life and the spicy pork bulgogi was forgettable. The food doesn't taste awful; it just doesn't taste like Korean food. This place probably tastes really good for people who've never tried real Korean food but as a Korean and LA Ktown native at that - this place gets 2 stars from me and I also wish I had chosen a different restaurant to eat at tonight. read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - The LA Galbi Meal.. Soo Flavorful. That Bone Broth! The Hubby And I Can Just Sip Like A Gallon Of That Alone. - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Delicious Food and Great Value (A Bit Tight for Tall People!) I highly recommend Han Bul Korean BBQ in Santa Rosa if you are looking for very tasty Korean and Japanese cuisine at a reasonable price. During my first trip to Santa Rosa in June, I loved it so much that I ate here twice. I just visited the area again and went back for dinner last Sunday night, and returned yet again for lunch yesterday. The food choices are excellent and the service is always good.The only minor drawback is the seating arrangement. The space is quite compact, which makes it a bit challenging for tall people. I am 6'2", and sitting comfortably was a struggle, especially since the friends joining me are about the same height. Additionally, the tables are placed literally right next to each other. There is not much conversation privacy, as you can easily overhear your neighbors and they can hear you. Overall, the fantastic food and great value make it well worth a visit--just be prepared for a very cozy, bustling environment! read more

One of the best Korean restaurants in town. Their food, customer service, and atmosphere are top-notch. Every time I visit with family or friends, I always order the love boat. Especially when I'm sick, I love their soondubu soup the most and my husband loves their bibimbap. read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - LA Kalbi Short Ribs Dinner Set Spicy BBQ Chicken Dinner Set - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I'm glad Santa rosa is finally getting more asian options! this place is in downtown and parking is easy and the food tastes great! the only problem is it's so expensive. the combos don't come with enough meat and for the same price of a bbq combo for 3 ($169) Id rather get all you can eat kbbq for 3 in sf for cheaper ($133). that's including the cost of gas to get there. and there I'm garenteed to be full. willing to keep going if there's ayce or sets became cheaper read more

Cute spot, the food looked good until I bit into the teriyaki beef, it was raw, grey pink and had cold teriyaki sauce on it, the meat was actually still cold as well, that's what made me take a closer look and noticed upon unfolding the thin flaps that the meat was raw and glazed. I did get a different item after showing the manager what was served on my plate. Long story short, check your meat before chowing down. I ended up vomiting an hour later, my stomach wasn't having any of this..... read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - Bento trio - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Excellent Korean restaurant option in downtown Santa Rosa to satisfy your bbq or banchan cravings. Shared space with Haku Sushi if you're indecisive because you can choose from both menus! What we ordered: -2 item dinner combo set (bulgogi and soondobu) -Bulgogi: a little too sweet for my preference but nice char from the sizzling plate -Soondobu (Korean tofu soup): delicious soup base! Made me order extra rice which I never do. -Banchan: comes with the set (fish cake and Japchae were the best) -Steamed egg: must get! Fluffy and savory served piping hot. Don't worry if the bottom is slightly burnt (it's the proper style that gives the egg a toasted flavor) -Kimchi pajeon (pancake): dipping sauce was the bomb.com -Ice cream: seasonal house made flavors like mint chocolate chip. Refreshing and served with frozen rasberry kernels and pocky. A hidden gem. ~$95 for two was decent value as we ordered appetizers and had leftovers. Come for the steamed egg and tofu soup. Stay for the seasonal ice cream and cute indoor seating that gives your party a private feel. read more

We ordered the beef and pork combo, which is meant for two people but we were surprised by how much food actually came out. It didn't even fit on our table! In addition to the combo, we also tried a roll and the spicy edamame. The edamame wasn't spicy at all instead, it had more of a hoisin sauce flavor, which was a letdown. Service wise, there wasn't a specific server assigned to our table, but all the staff were friendly and attentive. That said, our food took a while to arrive, and we noticed other tables that came in after us were served much sooner. On a positive note, the lemonade was really refreshing and definitely a highlight of the meal. Overall, while the portions were generous, the combo plates felt overpriced, and the experience didn't quite live up to expectations. I probably wouldn't order the combo again next time, we'd just stick to the rolls. read more

Stopped by for solo dinner as I really wanted Korean food. I originally wanted to get their banchan omakase but the server said that it's not quite a meal. So I got a combo instead, the kalbi was super tasty. I was a little surprised because I forgot to ask for no spicy for the soodubu, but it was not as spicy as I thought. They both paired really well. The banchan was also tasty but you have to pay for a refill. If I come back again, I'd definitely come with someone else so we can order the banchan omakase. Staff was friendly, there was inexpensive parking lot next door. read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - 2 Item DINNER Combo Set, LA Kalbi & Ham and Cheese Soondubu; Follow me @RimyEats on Instagram - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Han Bul offers a warm cozy ambience, polite service and delicious, authentic Korean BBQ which is a rare commodity in the North Bay (as well as a solid Sushi menu). But be forewarned the BBQ portion sizes are a bit much... I would encourage you to order down a bit. For example, for a group of 4 I would order a Set for 2; add a Soup, an Appetizer and additional Banchan... you will all be quite satisfied. Otherwise plan your order & life so that you have tomorrow's dinner covered as well read more

I used to love this place but the quality of the food and the taste have changed radically and their prices have increased, which is fine because everything has but you would expect that the price increase is to keep the quality of food, wrong! Our server was not good either, she took our order and forgot about us and did not bring our one drink until she finally came around and we asked about it. There were also flies inside. And to make things worse, my partner got sick, came home and threw up. read more

Love love love this place! I'm absolutely obsessed with the taste of every single item of the menu. When I say this is my favorite Korean Bbq location in Santa Rosa, I am not kidding! The flavors, spices, textures of every single item was spectacular! Staff is very friendly and so knowledgeable of the menu which is importantly if it's your first time visiting! They explain how everything on the menu works and how to go bout not ordering to much, although left over safe always welcome! Ambiance is super casual and it's a really nice place to go to take your tastebuds for a delusions ride! read more

I've been coming here for about six years and have always had good experiences, which makes this visit especially disappointing. Tonight, I was served moldy banchan. It had visible white fuzzy mold and tasted like mold after I ate some of it. The server was apologetic and took it back right away, but when the manager came out, she insisted it was not mold and argued with me for several minutes. She even spoke to me in a condescending way, questioning whether I knew what the dish was called in Korean. I may not be Korean, but I am very familiar with this dish and even have it at home--this was absolutely not normal. Instead of taking accountability, they brought out unsolicited items (a squid dish and later ice cream), even after I said I didn't want anything else. At that point, I just wanted to leave. What was most frustrating is that the bill initially came with no adjustment at all. Only after I pushed back did they take $30 off a $170 bill for two people. That's not acceptable given that I was served and ATE moldy food. I've worked in the restaurant industry for over 20 years, and the way this situation was handled was extremely poor. A sincere apology, accountability, and a reasonable adjustment to the bill would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

The service and the location are great. The people were wonderful, but if you're expecting a KBBQ or even basic korean food experience like you might get in say, Oakland or K-town in LA (as stand-ins for the real-deal, obviously), you'll probably be a bit disappointed. First off - the menu's a bit limited and a bit precious when it comes to the korean fare. The banchan (usually served as a free side with whatever dish you might order at something like an AYCE place) is $15, and honestly not terribly good - one of the dishes was literally about two tablespoons of macaroni salad in a small bowl that came with our box set. The rest was pretty standard fare, but if I had paid $15 just for that, I'd be pretty upset. The beef bulgogi, on the other hand? Delicious. Very tasty, and a nice, sizable portion that came with the appropriate sides. We also ordered the agedashi tofu off the japanese menu, which was....interesting. It was 8-10 small, fried bits of tofu with such a miserly amount of tsuyu I genuinely thought they had forgotten to pour any into the bowl. The tofu was well-fried and nice and crispy, but the tofu texture itself was marshmallowy and gummy. If you're coming with a large group, it's great - more than enough space to accommodate nice sized groups of 8 easily; more if you plan ahead so it's pretty ideal if you need something for a group. Bottom line: if you're not terribly familiar with Korean food and don't have expectations going in, you'll enjoy the experience of having something different close by in Santa Rosa. If you're expecting a traditional Korean dinner -- this isn't quite it. read more

This is one of our go-to restaurants, especially in winter when their hot and hearty food den even more satisfying. We typically get the combo specials, with bulgogi and one of their four delicious stews. We prefer the Kimchi Stew - as it is piping hot, a little spicy, and has great hunks of tofu and pork. The banchan is a great addition too - it's always a culinary treat to get to try all of the small plates too. The dining room is really cool too - and usually pretty lively - it seems like they are always busy! Be sure to leave room for desert- the in-house made ice cream is a real treat! read more

Came here for lunch, it's a fusion restaurant that sells sushi and Korean. The service was okay nothing over the top special and nothing horrible. I ordered the LA kalbi which was sweet, the flavor was good nothing overly the top amazing but it was tasty given that I was craving it so bad! Personally, The meat seemed not the highest quality I've had, each piece had too much tough inedible fat on it that caused me to choke. I really enjoyed my tofu soup soonbudu I asked for extra spicy and taste was perfect if ur feeling under the weather. It came with beef but it was such tiny pieces I hardly noticed. The ambiance is okay it wasn't the most comfortable but they had a lot of open seating and were dog friendly. The inside looks like an old school Japanese restaurant. The spicy pork bulgolgi was better than my kalbi & I'm a die hard for my kalbi but I have to say I loved the way the pieces burnt on the hot plate towards the end. Overall I'd definitely come back for the spicy tofu soup with rice & spicy pork bulgogi read more

Ambiance: 2/5 The sushi restaurant they were sharing the space with had a nice dining area. Very cute wooden Japanese furnishing. Unfortunately we had a regular table that was near the front, which made it a bit chilly so we had to stay bundled up during our whole meal. Food: 1/5 The side dishes were not good. Kimchi did not have enough umami/spice. (In my opinion, Kimchi is the #1 tell if a Korean restaurant would be good or not) Steamed egg was bland and very watered down. The soup was a let down as well. Entrees came out hot but cooled down very quickly, which made it unappetizing. The meats looked better than they actually tasted. We were in the area and were craving kbbq, and were very disappointed. The only thing that saved the night was dessert! We had the sesame ice cream. Not too sweet and yummy. In my opinion the dessert would do better without the frozen raspberries bits. (too sour/doesn't pair well with the black seseme) Service: 2/5 We were greeted when we entered. They asked us if we were here for Sushi or the Korean restaurant and then seated us shortly after. Our server was nice and everything we ordered came out in a timely manner. During check out our waitress told us we would be able to get 10% off if we paid in cash. So we tried to see if we had enough and unfortunately we didn't. So we wanted to pay card instead. The manager was near by and began giving us a lot of attitude telling us that the atm isn't far. Basically trying to push us to pay cash when we already decided not to. I found it very off putting and quite unprofessional. Overall, wouldn't come back. The food and service was not worth the value. read more

This place used to be a bit confusing for me when I first started coming here, as they would always ask if I wanted to eat sushi OR kbbq (to which I would reply, both, obviously lol). According to the staff, due to COVID and low staffing issues, HanBul combined entities with Haku Sushi (they were merely sister restaurants prior). I think that was a great idea, as it allows you to get the best of both worlds of KBBQ and sushi in one restaurant. They also offer beer, wine, and sake. The interior of this restaurant has a cozy ambiance, characterized by soft, ambient lighting. It creates a minimalist yet inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a quaint corner in Japan. Being accustomed to all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ establishments for so many years, this place is a little pricey for what you get. For the same price or less as a meal here, you can get AYCE at many other KBBQ spots. I also noticed that when two people order a KBBQ combo set (which should both come with side dishes) only one banchan set has come out, and if more sides are requested, there is an additional charge. That doesn't make sense to me. I will say that the flavors are consistent and we do leave feeling satisfied. The sushi is very good (highly recommend the Love Boat which comes out lit on fire). I also appreciate that they are open til midnight every night. Our go-to order is typically the 2 item combo set with either spicy pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi, kalbi, japchae, or doenjang stew. Spicy pork bulgogi is a lot more flavorful than the beef. Kalbi and Japchae are always on point. The beef bibimpap is also worth trying. Overall, I do enjoy my time here and I'll keep coming back. read more

We found HanBul while looking for dinner in the santa rosa area. Finding the restaurant was a bit confusing, but you enter through the sushi restaurant next door. It's unclear to see on maps or even by the main signage, but it's 2 restaurants together. Took us a few minutes to figure this out. You can order from both menus, but we opted to get the korean food. We got spicy bulgogi and kalbi. We were given banchan as part of the meal (as expected!). The good was pretty good in my opinion, but i found the portions to be a bit smaller for how much you pay for. Location-wise, we also went later in the evening. There was a fair amount of parking, but there was a handful of houseless folks in the area, which was a bit rough given how long we walked back and forth to actually find the place. Overall, would consider coming back if we find ourselves in the area again! read more

Yummy! 2 item lunch combo for $23 is a good value. Lots of tasty food. The 8 banchan were a nice variety, though small quantities. Generous bowl of sticky white rice. I had the spicy pork (not very spicy) and the Soondubu terrifyingly hot seafood soup (tear your head off spicy). The chili level in the soup cured my bronchial asthma. In 5 minutes I had 4 coughing fits and cleared my lungs completely. Yes, I'll go back and eat this again, therapeutic pain can be good. Quick service. 2 servers were busy with a full house. They kept cool and controlled. Dining room needs to be redecorated. It is tired and old. Hasn't changed since Haku opened in the early 1980's. So this ain't up to the high standards of a fancy San Francisco Korean restaurant, for us podunk Santa Rosans it is a worthy eatery. read more

HanBul Korean BBQ - November 2022 - Korean Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

The service was polite and friendly. The ambiance is fine -- a little dated and in need of a refresh. The restaurant was nearly completely full on a Saturday evening, which is nice to see in downtown Santa Rosa. We ordered two 2-item combo sets: an order of beef bulgogi, soondubu soup, spicy BBQ chicken, and japje. The bulgogi was perfectly cooked, but a little sweet for my taste. The BBQ chicken was nicely seasoned, but a little dry. The soondubu soup and japje were perfectly fine. However, there was no lettuce or saamjang provided, and -- this is strange -- we were told the banchan were "samples", and we would be charged for additional banchan. The banchan portions provided were very small, and, honestly, a little disappointing. The kimchi was bland and salty at the same time, the mac salad had zero flavor and was undercooked, and the japje banchan was more flavorful than the large portion we ordered. For over $100, there's no lettuce, saamjang, or additional banchan?! Since this is the only Korean BBQ in town, I would expect them to excel. However, I was really disappointed and probably would not return. Cannot recommend to others. #WheresTheLettuce #NoSaamjang #MeaslyBanchan read more
