    I ordered a seafood pancake and kimchi soondubu for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with how much food they gave me. They gave me some banchan with cucumbers, squid, bean sprouts, japchae and kimchi. The soondubu came in a large tub with rice, but could have used more spice. The seafood pancake was a bit too oily and mushy (delivery is probably not best for this!). Everything was pretty good here; I would order again!

    Japchae with Bulgoki

    The japchae tasted good but the bulgoki was a bit dry. Had #28 marinated beef the other day and it was really good. It's at a food court so lots of noise is expected. The cashier was polite.

    Spicy Soft Tofu Soup w/ Chicken, Banchan of Bean Sprouts & Fish Cake Slices + White Steamed Rice
    Lonnie K.

    The male employee had a bright & warm smile on his face which felt welcoming as I was getting ready to decide what to get for dinner. It was super hard to choose only one single dish as everything had looked scrumptious from the menu with colorful & accurate-looking food pics + detailed descriptions of all the listed ingredients for each of the food options. The vendor was a small, no-frill looking kind of area just like the rest of the other booths at Food Gallery 32. Typically, seafood + beef + pork are more expensive proteins in comparison to chicken. Tonight, I was craving for chicken especially something hot to warm my stomach since it had gotten a bit chilly & windy after the pouring rain just now not too long ago. So, I ended up choosing the Spicy Soft Tofu Stew w/ Chicken that's served in a Korean 'onggi' (옹기) aka a 'Korean earthenware pot.' The total came out to be roughly around $15. The price range is average for K-Town in general. This particular type of pot is used to serve the stew as a way to keep the temperature of the food hot plus maintain the rich flavors during the whole meal. Then, staff handed me the change, a beeper, and the receipt after paying at the register counter. When the food is ready and/or the beeper starts flashing red lights + vibrating, that's the signal for you to go pick up your meal. Didn't take too long, I would say the prepping and cooking were like 15 mins altogether which wasn't bad at all for a weekday. Of course, it might take slightly longer on the weekends. I looked around for somewhere to sit down and can't wait to start digging in!!! Luckily, I quickly found a seat two steps away from the vendor I'd just ordered from. It was served with a plastic container of steamed white rice and a small banchan (side dish) of bean spouts and thinly sliced fish cakes in a plastic container. Was a bit disappointed not to see the familiar slices of yellow pickled radish being included in each person's meal whether you've ordered a meaty stew or bowl of glass noodles with veggies and/or meat. I began to slurp the soup hungrily and almost burned my tongue from it. There was some spiciness to the soondubu jjigae (spicy soft tofu stew) but it was only a mild to mid-spicy kind of taste in my opinion. Love seeing that vibrant orange color of the piping hot deliciousness bubbling in the black clay pot. I'm so happy that I can really taste the mild to mid-spicy kick from each flavorful sip, the softness and smoothness of the soft tofu rolling around, the tenderness of the boneless chicken pieces, and lastly the softness of the onion slices in between of every bite. Loved that nothing had either tasted too salty or too bland, everything was just right in its own way. And did I ever mention that there was actually lots of chicken pieces from the stew?!? To me, it was definitely so worthwhile to get the delicious spicy soft tofu stew. Can't wait til I go back next time and try other dishes as well from the Korean food court.

    Galbi Tang - decent

    Hanok is located inside the Food Gallery on 32nd St, K-Town. It's inside a food hall... so think fast food bodega decor & style. Been here a few times for takeaway - aka - no time for a real lunch - aka "eat at your desk bc you work in corporate"... #iykyk Quick, efficient, and price for value is decent. Quality of food, 50/50... some are better than others. -Seafood pancake - too oily, good flavor, shareable. -Yukgaejang - spice level is good (medium), not good quality shredded beef, too much fillers, good flavor. -Galbitang - flavorful (think sodium on high!), tender meat, a few radish, and slivers of onion and scallions. Love this one! -Kimchijigae - this was just ok, not memorable. -Dumpling & rice cake soup - good flavor, lots of rice cake... 3 dumplings tho? A bit stingy. Overall, you can get a pretty decent meal here but don't expect the quality like dining in at some of their neighboring shops! Happy eating! #yelplife

    Went to a food hall when in Koreatown in NYC. This place was pretty crowded and we waited in line to place our orders and get the buzzer. It wasn't long until our buzzers went off and our food came out. Lucky for us we found 2 seats on the third floor (which has the most seating in the building). The soup was average and wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. My friend got the Haejang Guk (Hangover Soup) and honestly that would be my top choice.

    Pork Tofu Kimchi and Kimchi Jigae
    Tommy S.

    Based on a dine in experience at Food Gallery 52 food court Pros: Quick and friendly service Love the tofu here! Cons: Kimchi jigae soup was bit too sour for my test Port Tofu kimchi had less Pork than I expected Not cheap yet not overpriced but expect more meat on my orders In conclusion, Hanok is not a bad place for a quick Korean fix. Is it outstanding? No. Is it acceptable? Yes

    Angelina Z.

    Pretty solid budae jigae. Loved the side dishes. Super flavorful without being too spicy (I cannot handle spice). It came out to $19 which was a bit but the Ktown food court has a dear spot in my heart.

    $15.99- Pork over rice 7/10 it was good the flavor was there and it wasn't too sweet.
    TheHungry B.

    It was a cute spot to grab food. You could try a little of everything from different stalls. There was a photo booth, karaoke rooms, and claw machines.

    Keepin it real out here in K Town For some reason I always end up at Hanok every time i decided to eat in K Town and Food Gallery. The quality food and the beautiful display gets me every time. The service has always been speedy and amazing. I really dig the open kitchen, adds trust when you can see how the food is prepped. Always a line but moves quickly, def worth trying

    Japchae with chicken (Glass Noodles with Chicken)
    Alyssa D.

    This food spot is within the main "Food Gallery" in Koreatown in NYC. Food Gallery in itself is AMAZING and this eatery is one of those awesome spots. Gurl this is one of my go-to spots in K-Town! If you are unfamiliar with Korean food, their menu is numbered at the bottom of the register. The specific meal I got was Japchae, which are glass noodles and chicken. Definitely one of my favorite little meals to munch on after a long day of exploring the city. Koreatown can get very full very quickly, and the spot toward the back on the first floor is a really great, affordable meal. Just the right amount of flavor palette without too much of a punch, and not so greasy that it'll hurt your stomach either. Only gave it four stars because the wait was long and my buzzer wasn't working. But to be fair, waits here are usually long regardless.

    Kimchi jigae (broke up the 2x tofu pieces)
    Caroline L.

    Ordered kimchi jigae $13.99. Came with white rice and 3 small banchans (omelet roll, green water kimchi, pickled yellow radish). Jigae was too sweet, kimchi itself was underripe, overall taste wasn't spicy or salty enough. Had lots of kimchi which was the best part (just was underripe so tasted more like spicy behchu/cabbage). Wasn't the best but still comforting and filling. Wouldn't get it again unless I wanted a sweeter jigae.

    Kalbi BBQ Lunch Box
    Clarissa L.

    The food court was pretty packed on a Saturday night. I got a kalbi box from Hanok which comes with Kalbi, rice and some small side dishes which turned out to just be a little side salad and pickled radish. The Kalbi was average with a few of the pieces underneath being just bone. I recommend getting an appetizer or dessert with the meal because I was still a bit hungry afterwards!

    They need to work on sanitation training.

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

When asked what her thoughts are midway through the meal, she responded, "It isn't bad, but it isn't great." I understood her completely. One last thing, the ice cream dessert needs an upgrade with the presentation. When the plate was presented to us, I couldn't help myself and chuckled. I asked my buddy if she too thought that the dried strawberries looked like cat food. She laughed, knowing exactly what I meant. By golly, it's like eating kibble! They can consider slicing the strawberries into slivers, at least it'll be far more pleasing to the eyes!

I think you have the option to cook it yourself or have them cook it for you and we chose the latter. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was more space. Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

The flavor of the honey chicken was amazing, and it was super crispy. However, I believe they did include some pumpkin seeds on top, which was an interesting addition. Service was amazing, and it had a pretty intimate atmosphere, which was in a dim setting. Amazing for a date night, or dinner with some friends!

    Manhattan, NY (Koreatown) - I love BCD and frequent the one in Fort Lee pretty regularly, but for…read moreyears have assiduously avoided this NYC location as it's always a madhouse every time I've come here for dinner with friends or co-workers, and because there are so many other great Korean options on this strip. But there's no denying that BCD has upped their soondubu game considerably in the last decade+ with a thicker, more deeply flavored broth, and now easily rivals my longtime favorite and gold standard, the OG So Kong Dong in Fort Lee. Then I stumbled into a hack that changed my view: lunch! I ducked in for a late lunch on a whim while walking by one day, and this turned out to be a much chiller hour, unhurried and no reservation needed. I was promptly seated, my order taken, and the banchan swiftly laid out. The banchan spread is solid across the board (the little fried fish does nothing for me, but seems to be a highlight for everyone else). I especially love the kimchi, near-perfect IMO, and the pickled cucumber. There's a modest lunch discount, which is a nice bonus for someone who likes to order aggressively. I usually get an oyster, seafood, or assorted soondubu (with a raw egg cracked in), danger spicy of course! Or go the C1 combo route with a galbi (marinated bbq beef short ribs) + smaller soondubu. It's an enormous amount of food, so I take most of the galbi home and feel no shame about it. The galbi, by the way, has also gotten noticeably better over the years - meatier, tender, and the flavor is on point. I've also enjoyed their bibimbap, bulgogi, jap chae, and seafood pancake. Finally, let's talk heat - this chili-head loooves fire! And BCD's danger level is one of the rare instances where the spice level actually meets my punishing tolerance for heat, not some pretense at "American spicy.," despite this being a chain. Their danger level actually means business and brings tears to my eyes, literally. It's still not my favorite place ambience wise, and dinner remains a contact sport I've mostly opted out of, as gone are the days that I can tolerate a culinary mosh pit, and any wait longer than 10 minutes (and only for a superlative place) will trigger an automatic ejection of my presence. But for lunch? Unexpectedly great. 4 stars for dinner, 5 for lunch.

    The space is very large but because they are so popular, there will be a line for popular times…read more They have 2 separate lines for parties of 2 and parties of 3+. Our party of 2 got there around 5:30pm on a weekend and thankfully only waited a few minutes. Great deal on food! They are very generous with the banchan. The seafood soondubu stew was very seafood-y (which I liked). Everything was very good. You can control the spice level - beware, the spicy levels are quite spicy!! Can't wait to return!

    Experience was great. Service was great and attentive…read more I really liked how the chairs doubled as storage for our bags and jackets so that they would not absorb the smell of bbq. I went with my sister and my daughter. We ordered the beef combo for 2 and a seafood pancake. The portion was just right. The quality of the beef was pretty good and was cooked to perfection (I requested for medium-rare). My sister had her portion cooked to well done since she is currently pregnant and didnt want to risk having any problems (not everything ended up being well done though). I personally prefer the pancake from elsewhere but it was not bad. My picky daughter really liked it. The combo came with a steam egg and boy was that good. Our meal ended with a yummy ice cream for each of us. This meal however made a pretty big dent in my wallet. It was my fault for not checking the menu before heading in. I didnt want to walk any further with my toddler and my pregnant sister since it started raining outside.

    Good portion sizes for the 2-person shared BBQ lunch- be it Bulgolgi beef, stewed soup, or Banchan…read morewith 6 varieties of small dishes. Soup and Banchan both receive high marks for how good they taste. Also ordered a separate beef short rib lunch special, the rib was cooked to perfection and the sauce applied was very flavorful. Servers were friendly and mostly attentative, restaurant decors and cleanliness of interiors and bathrooms were quite good. Would come back again next time in the Herald Square area.
