    20% off on happy hour! I like the "private feel" of tables. Soft opening and you order with menu on the QR code. You push button if you need anything since it has a private booth feel to your space. We ordered grilled squid, snail salad, and bulgogi noodles (not the official name!) it was a great Korean dining and looking forward the their menu after their grand opening!

    Overall: 3.4/5 [dine in] Came with a group of 6. The seating is a bit cramped but manageable. To get the staff's attention when you're ready to order or need something, you press a call button on the back wall. We were never checked on, so we relied on the button throughout the meal. The table was also not set correctly when we arrived as we were missing bowls and plates. The napkin holder was also super dusty, and some of the bowls and plates had dust on them too, so we ended up wiping everything down ourselves. We also found it a bit odd that anywhere from 1 to 4 staff members would come to the table whenever we needed something, including to watch us pay. Why do you need four people for that? Hanshin is coming up on 2 months of being open but still has a lot of "coming soon" menu items. If they can address these issues, I would give it another star. The food was better than the service. We got 4 bowls of rice to share across the table ($7.80 total at $1.95 per bowl), which was really only necessary for the proteins. LA Galbi ($28.95): Good but nothing special. 10 Piece Garlic Soy Chicken Wings ($19.95): Came with a side of crinkle fries that were crispy but not salted enough. The wings on the other hand were delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Grilled Soy and Butter Squid ($16.95): I don't even like squid, but this was amazing! Our friends loved it too, and it quickly became one of the table's favorites. Carbonara Tteokbokki ($17.95): Not as heavy or creamy as I expected. It was actually on the liquidy side and lacked that umami depth. Cheese Pork BBQ ($24.95): The best item at the table for me, with the squid being a close second. The pork was delicious, flavorful, not too fatty, and had a great texture. 2 Flavored Soju Bottles ($29.98): They gave us 2 different brands, Jinro and Soonhari, so it depends on the flavors you order.

    I'm a huge fan of places that have a warm an vibrant atmosphere. I also really enjoy Korean food. This place didn't miss. It took a little while for someone to take our order, but once that was all sorted the service was superb, even helping us determine the best bang for our buck with drinks which is always appreciated. The chicken feet are extremely spicy. So if that's something you enjoy, highly recommend. Also go for the whole chicken and the soup, it was amazing. A great late night pre or post game location with a great atmosphere.

    We really enjoyed our experience here! I came in with a table of 7 so we had to all sit in one of the tents. I do wish there was a little more space to accommodate for larger groups since we were planning to drink and eat a bunch. The service was good, the call button was helpful to call over the waiter in the busy restaurant and they came promptly. For the food, I loved every single thing we got. It was fresh, it was hot and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. A lot of the items on the menu wasn't available due to their soft opening but we look forward to coming back to try more items (especially the raw marinated crabs)

    Had a great experience eating here at night after a concert. The menu is pretty big and the food comes out hot and fresh!

    I came here around midnight and got the rice bowl and some chicken wings. Each table was sectioned off into tents and to order or call the waiter, we rang the side button. The food arrived in a timely manner and the chicken was nice, hot and crispy. I especially enjoyed the sweet and spicy boneless chicken. I wanted to order half of the yangneom chicken, but they only had whole. Other than that, I really enjoyed my experience here for a late night craving.

    I understand this is a soft opening, but I know this is a chain. The food to price ratio here is crazy. You're paying $11 for frozen fries with sauce on them. The wings were insanely small. $20 for like 10 fries and small wings. The service was not good either, I understand they may be new, but my food was missed and they forgot my drink twice. I decided it wasn't even worth it anymore after that. The ambiance is decent. Cute rooms to hang with friends but the room closest to the door get blasted my pressurized wind whenever the door opens, flying everything around. The tissues and everything get hit by the wind pushing the curtains against everything. Would not recommend this place at all.

    First off the cute private booths are so cute!! And my server Meghan was awesome!! I love her recommendation!! The food was tasty... I had the beef stew and the grilled chicken gizzards which is tasty and garlicky!! I'm definitely coming back with friends!!!

    My husband and I occassionally go to Wicked Snow and we noticed Hanshin Pocha moving in next door. As you enter the place, you see all the tented tables and hear the various pitches and tones of conversations from each table and K Pop music in the air. I was in the mood for a light meal after a long day from work so we ordered the grilled soy & butter squid and the sweet & spicy boneless fried chicken along with rice and 1 bottle of Jinro (blue). The squid was cooked well but the sauce was a bit burnt. My husband noticed it first. There were tasting moments of the sauce being slightly sweet, slightly caramelized, and mostly burnt butter not the brown butter with soy experience I was hoping for. My husband and I provided feedback to the staff and they were very open to listen as well as to communicating it back to the kitchen. The fried chicken had the right amount of sauce that coated each piece of chicken. I was really surprised to see tteokbokki (the small tubular rice cakes) with the chicken. Bonus! Eat the tteokbokki while it is hot because it has a very soft and pillowy texture. Once they cool down, it becomes a chewy. Still tasty, enjoyable, but a different texture experience. Portion sizes of the dishes was enough as for Korean bar food. I believe majority of Koreans and Korean Americans know when to use the call button on the table. The service was a overly attentive (in a good way but got slightly annoying). After giving the order to the server, it seemed like we were greeted by a new staff on the minute interval. I think this lasted like 5-10 minutes and we probably met everyone working that night. It was quite entertaining. Btw, neither my husband nor I pressed the call button. The only time we did so was when we wanted to order the food and to pay for the bill. Overall, the quality and portion of the food and service was good. We found out Hanshin Pocha has been opened for 6 days after their soft opening. Congratulations and we wish Hanshin Pocha much success.

    Raw chicken

    I honestly don't even know where to start. This was a really disappointing experience from beginning to end. We were already on the waitlist for quite a while before we even came in, so we expected things to run a bit more smoothly once we arrived. Instead, when we walked in, no one greeted us. Multiple servers walked past us without acknowledging us at all. We eventually got seated, but when we asked the waiter questions about the menu, he seemed very unsure of what was actually on it. The menu photos are extremely misleading. We ordered the galbi, and the portion was extremely small for the price. Most of the pieces barely had any meat on them. They were mostly bone. Definitely not worth nearly $30. When we received the stew, it did not come with a portable stove to keep it hot. They only brought the stove after we had already finished more than half of it. The worst part was the garlic soy chicken wings were RAW. My friend had already eaten some before realizing it was undercooked. That is a serious food safety issue and completely unacceptable. We asked to speak to the manager and had to go through three different servers before we were finally able to talk to him. At one point, he even sent a server in his place instead of coming himself. When they remade the chicken, it only came out with 5 pieces instead of the full 10 that we originally ordered. On top of that, they did not bring us basic items we needed to eat. No plates, no ladle for the soup, no bowls. We had to keep asking for essentials. Overall, very poor service, misleading portions, and serious food safety issues. I would not recommend.

    Amazing service. We came for the late service and Gracy was the best server. I loved the intimate space and the great service. Plus, the food was amazing. Please come before this place gets crowded. Im pretty sure you will need reservations pretty soon. Keep up the good work. Thank you for a great valentines. Much love!

    Hanshin chicken

    Tried the spicy chicken feet, it's more than I can handle, so spicy, great to eat it with icy cold beer. Grilled chicken gizzards is my favorite of the night (Love the fried garlic slices)!

    nasty

    RAW CHICKEN... I should have known it wasn't going to go well when I saw the tiny portions and prices on the menu, but I was excited to give it a try... not worth it.

    Please don't use canned snails, it lowers the taste and quality

    Located inside HMART food court Right next to the restrooms…read moreat the far back Service was easy and quick It's rustling and bustling so it's quite loud and busy. But very convenient. We ordered the ox knee bone soup. The soup was great and had lots of meat in it! I was surprised by how many different side dishes it came with because usually food court meals come with bare minimum. I would highly recommend this place - the location is kind of hidden in comparison to the other stalls with bright signs so I can see why people end up eating the other places tha this spot.

Narrow Street 512 serves up Authentic Korean food with a personal touch. It feels like you're eating a home cooked meal at your Aunt's home in Korea. I experienced Narrow Street as a solo diner. My go-to dish I order 90 percent of the time I go there is the Chadol Plate (A3). It is beef brisket. You normally need to go to a KBBQ spot and get covered in a layer of smoke. Skip smelling like a campfire and get A4 at Narrow Street. The beef brisket comes with rice served in a metal bowl. You get 3 or four small plastic containers of banchan the rotates seasonally. There is a variety of different kimchi, fish cake, corn slaw, potato salad and more. Once in a while I like to switch it up and I order the Cold Noodles (F1) or squid and pork stir fry (A4). The cold noodles are refreshing with crisp cucumber, white radish kimchi, and korean pear. The noodles are bouncy with a nice chew. Great in Summer and Winter. The Squid and pork stir fry comes with a bowl of rice and it is quite spicy. It is spicier than average but still less spicy than Thai chili. The chewy squid and pork are nicely complemented with the crunchy stir fried cabbage. Once you taste it you can't stop eating it. The price at Narrow Street very reasonable for what you get in my opinion. It is sit down restaurant quality food in a fast casual setting. You can dine solo or go in a big group as there is plenty of seating at the Hmart Food court. You place your order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to alert you to go pick up your trays of food. The Korean ladies who work there are super friendly and will help you make your menu selection if you have any questions. I've been a dedicated regular since 2023. Narrow Street is my go-to for my Korean food fix!

It is a quaint little place, not too big of a space so luckily they did not have a wait when we went. I give it a five star review because of the sushi. The food for me was good, not the best like not great, but it does satisfy the Korean food craving. Presentation of dishes was so nice and fun, the sushi was on fire literally. They start you off with banchan-kimchi, macaroni, onions, and fish cake. It's standard, nothing outstanding, but they do give free refills! 1. Taimatsu Roll - My favorite dish we ordered. It's saucy and has a nice play on textures because of the crispy fried bits on top. It is stuffed with a sizeable piece of tuna and has a sweet mayo sauce. It is definitely more fusion leaning rather than traditional. 2. Dak-Galbi - A spicy chicken dish with sweet potato matchstick slices and rice cakes. There could be more rice cakes and flavor. It was not spicy at all, more of that sweet savory taste you get from gochujang based dishes. The chicken was super tender and there was a good amount! 3. Beef Rib Stew - This was a warming stew with glass noodles, it is a basic soup that is salty and peppery (some may think it's bland). It comes with a bone in beef rib that is fall off the bone tender! Overall, while the food wasn't the most outstanding, I would definitely come back to try other items (namely the sushi). I would also love to try the inari tofu pockets I see online (not sure if they still have that though since I don't think I saw that on the menu). Also, their other fusion leaning dishes like the carbonara tteokbokki sounds interesting.
