The food was top notch. Service was excellent. Overall our experience was delightful.

good recommendations from the waiter and a nice economic lunch combo totally would go again!

I found Hanu Korean BBQ since it was close to our DTLA office and looked like it can host our group of 10 ladies who loooovvee kbbq. One of my friends also gave the restaurant a heads up and make a reservation for us. We all had a great experience and left with happy smiles and full tummies. They split our group up in two tables, seated directly next to each other with a split in the middle. Totally good with us and we were able to easily get out to use their restroom since we weren't in one whole row. My side got the B Combo (L) for $204.99, made to enjoy for 5 people. It came with Wagyu Steak, Marinated Bone-in short Rib, Bulgogi, Brisket, Pork Belly, Pork Jowl, Marinated Shrimp, Mushrooms, and Vegetables. Big kudos for the brains behind the menu, because it was the perfect amount for our group of 5. We all left full, but not too full that we couldn't fit a dessert in. If you're group of friends doesn't have a chef or just want to blab all night, they got you. Their servers will cook and cut all the meat for you to enjoy. I don't go to a lot of kbbq places without cooking my own meat, so this was definitely a treat. Totally worth it so you can focus on talking to your friends. Their servers are great and tell us when it's time to eat and have the timing of the cook down to the T. They are also very friendly, super fast, and checked on our big group from time to time. The restaurant has their own huge parking lot, which was pretty empty on a Tuesday night. Lucky us. It saved our group the hassle to find street parking and its a bonus for not stressing about where to park. They also have a small fruit stand out front, which I regret not purchasing ahead of time since they were closed after our dinner. I'll know better next time! I would definitely recommend more people to visit Hanu Korean BBQ for their delicious KBBQ combo meals, great service, and convenient parking. 10 out of 10 would come again! read more

Hanu K-BBQ was a highly rated place in LA's Koreatown, so we decided to try it. 4.7 on Yelp and Google. Big focus on getting 5 star yelp reviews. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and its own parking lot. 3.5% credit card fee. Their menu has the typical expensive a la carte meats, but lacks tofu stew. Lunch Specials 11am-3pm/7days are a great bet. Meal was fine but not super. Service was drop and go. Probably should have went back to Soowon Galbi or Parks BBQ. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Marinated Beef Short Ribs + Buckwheat cold noodle soup ($34.99) lunch special was cooked at our table and consisted of 3 pieces. No BBQ smell at least. Decent quality and reasonable quantity. Huge bowl of cold noodles. Only 4 types of banchan. 8.5/10 Beef brisket soybean paste stew with tofu ($14.99) lunch special is not a big dish and was the closest thing to tofu spicy stew. Very spicy. 8/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Good Service - Fair Value - Good Would we come back - No read more

Love this place! We usually get the combo depending on how many people we come with. The combo comes with a lot of side dishes as well. They also cooks for ya. The interior is very spacious. They usually plays K-pop music. Plenty of parking, and it's free! Highly recommend for group of 2-6 read more

Parking is a plus! Easy to get reservation via Yelp. This is not AYCE but its combo sets are value for money. We had combo A $110 for 2 people. It came with Wagyu steak and thin brisket, bulgogi, steamed egg, bean paste stew, kimchi fried rice and corn cheese. This's enough for 3 people. All the food items are great except the Wagyu steak which is not tender even we asked for medium rare. And the kimchi fried rice was bland. read more

We came for a late lunch on a weekday around 3 PM, and there were only a few tables occupied. We ordered a combo--overall, the quality was just okay, and only one of the meats really stood out to me. The side dishes, like the kimchi fried rice, pancake, and tofu soup, were disappointing. The server cooked the meat for us quite quickly, which made it feel a bit rushed--like she just wanted to get it done. Because of that, we didn't really get to enjoy the meal at our own pace. read more

Cozy kbbq vibes with good quality meats. Went for a bro hangout mid-week. Theres a parking lot for the building with valet. We ubered so no biggie - but saw people parking on their own as well. Had reservations - was a pretty busy place, but sat immediately. The decor was just like a normal mom n pop kbbq / Korean restaurant - no fancy digs. You have to make a point to flag down the staff - they are running around all over the place. Once we did so, we ordered the medium beef combo along with some beer and soju. The drinks came first - your standard fare. They do have barley tea if you ask for it. The banchan arrived shortly afterwards. Also your standard dishes - along with a salad. As part of the combo, you do get corn cheese and kimchi soup. Then the meats came. The staff do cook and cut for you - so no need to worry about dealing with it. The meat was good quality for the price. There are some wagyu cuts, but even the brisket is meaty and definitely not freeze dried vibes. All in all - would def come back, think it's a good bang for your buck non-AYCE place. read more

This review is not about stroller policies -- restaurants have the right to have rules, and we respect that. What upset us was how the situation was handled. We came for a family dinner to celebrate my friend's and his brother's birthday since they do not have family here. We arrived with our sleeping child in a stroller. The staff saw the stroller when we entered, seated us, brought water, and we had already started choosing our combo order. Then a staff member approached us in a raised tone and told us something had to be done about the stroller. My husband did not refuse to cooperate -- he asked what solution they could offer and even asked if we could move to another table. We were told that table was reserved. When we asked about the policy, the staff member referred to a sign but could not show it when we respectfully asked to see it so we could understand and comply. What upset us most was hearing words that came across as: "It's your child -- you decide." My husband then asked to speak with a manager and briefly stepped away, asking the staff member to wait. Instead, the same staff member returned with security. Police were called, even though we never refused to leave and were not trying to stay against instructions. By that point, we no longer felt comfortable staying and chose to leave ourselves. What made this even more disappointing was that we still wanted to continue celebrating. We ended up going to Park's BBQ, where staff helped accommodate our stroller, and they kindly provided plates and birthday candles so we could continue the celebration. That experience reminded us that policies and hospitality can exist together. We are not asking for compensation. We simply believe this situation could have been handled with more communication, more patience, and more respect. read more

We had a good lunch here! Upon curb appeal there's a hit to be desired as the large building has construction, has openings on the main floor and upper floors/signage is for doctor/medical offices. BUT there is free private lot parking which is a plus! Entering the restaurant is large and the booth tables are long and comfortable. The beef quality was excellent! We like every cut we got and the pork belly was good as well. Only thing we would skip next time is the intestines. They have some TVs to watch the gams and the banchan was also pretty good. Price was not too bad too for the high quality! read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday morning, and the first win was the huge parking lot because we all know parking in K-town can be an absolute nightmare. The restaurant itself is clean and well-kept, but I would say it's not the most ideal setup for larger groups. They were able to accommodate us by seating us at two tables next to each other, though we were still slightly separated. It wasn't a huge issue for us, but definitely something to keep in mind if you're hoping for one big table where everyone can sit closely together. This isn't AYCE, but their set meal came with more than enough meat to the point where we were genuinely struggling to finish everything. The portions were generous, and the quality didn't feel skimpy at all. They also included a variety of side dishes! The only thing that caught me off guard was being charged for rice paper, since I'm used to it being included at most KBBQ spots. That said, the server gave us plenty, so it wasn't a big deal, just something to note. Both of our servers were friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated that they cooked the meat for us. It made the experience feel more relaxed and allowed us to just enjoy the food! Overall, a great experience with solid food and service. I'd definitely come back! read more

Really the most hassle-free KBBQ joints in ktown! We made a reservation here for 6pm in case, but there seems to be a good amount of seats available still. It doesn't seem to get too crowded either later in the night, so dining here seems pretty accessible. Also, parking was free! They have their own dedicated parking lot and there were actually parking spots available. Service was quick and efficient here. We got the beef combo for 4 people, and it was definitely enough for us. I was practically full by the half point of it. We also got the corn cheese here which was pretty good! Honestly a lot better than most places that I had. My bf really enjoyed the egg + beef dish they had. Food is brought to you by the cat servers. The servers also come by to grill it for you too. Meat quality here was also really good. Banchans were all fresh. Overall experience was just very good. The interior of the place is kinda old school? Not as modern as other places, but still a greaaaat joint. read more

Hanu Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The location is a little sketch... I had a 8pm dinner reservation and I was slightly scared of leaving my car in the lot and walking into the building. Also, walking in was slightly scary since everything was being remolded. For a split second, I thought I was in the wrong place. When I walked inside the establishment, I let out a sigh of relief... We checked in with the host at the front and followed a robot to our table. The robot would also bring our food to the table. However, our trusty server did all the hard work, which was grilling! We ordered the beef set for 3-4 and it was a LOT of food. In all honestly, I was a little underwhelmed. After seeing the 4.7 star rating, maybe my expectations where a little high. The quality of the meat was underwhelming. It was good but it was not the quality of meat or wagyu I have eaten elsewhere. I also didn't like that you had to pay extra for certain banchans. Service - Great Food - Good Location - Poor Overall - 3.7 Stars read more

This place rocks. And, has robots driving around to the tables blasting pop music. It is so much fun. We loved it. We had a party of 12 for my birthday. They even gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate. The food was amazing. We ordered the combo fit for 6 people. We ordered two combos. Came out to about $60 a person including tip. This place was so fun. Well worth the money. Again, amazing food and amazing service! We celebrated my birthday here and had a wonderful experience. The service was fast, and the staff was very welcoming with great hospitality, super fast service. The food was extremely fresh, especially the meat, and it was very convenient that they cook the food for you. Ambiance is nice. Free parking made it even better. Highly recommend this place. It was like a fun party with soooooo much amazing food. Will 100% be coming back. read more

Great tasting Korean BBQ. A few pluses - they take reservations, there's a parking lot (if you've been to KTown) before you know parking is a luxury here. We were seated right away with our reservation. They come around and help you cook and it's not too smoky inside. The robot brings dishes to your table after you have place your order. Wish they brought out the banchan earlier and not at the same time as the meat. Wish they also had a combo for 2 that had beef and pork. Only downside they were quick to give us our check but took forever to bring our to go boxes. read more

Everything is just ok. After getting seated, it took a while for our server to come and take our order. The appetizers/small dishes are alright -- nothing stood out to me as very memorable. The meat is decent and tastes pretty good overall. We got the small combo A, which includes bulgogi, brisket, and waygu. The price to quality ratio isn't very good, as I feel like the food isn't worth the high price point read more

One of the best KBBQ we've been at. This is NOT AYCE. Their combo meat selections are great. They give you a lot of food. We had to take homes food for dinner the following day. For the beef and pork medium combo - more than enough meat for 4 of us. They actually cook the meat for us which is a great thing. You also don't smell of BBQ smoke since their exhaust is right under the grill! Best part is there's free parking! read more

Man, it really sucks when I return to a personal favorite and see that it's gone way downhill. What was once one of the hottest and most generous KBBQ restaurants in KTown, is now unrecognizable and the meat quality is on par with AYCE restaurants. Sadly, I've seen this happen all too often in the KBBQ world. We came here for lunch on a Saturday and found the place strangely empty, with their once attractive patio completely demolished. Even more alarming was the fact that almost every table was occupied by non-Koreans. I think you know where this is going. On our last visit, they lavished our table with complimentary marinated raw crab and beef tartar, with some of the best service I've seen in a while. This time they were charging $3 for each lettuce and rice paper refill, while offering none of the quality banchan they had before. The service was hectic and slow, but more importantly, the meat was not good. In a time where Baekjeong and Quarters are merely the baseline standard for non-AYCE KBBQ (with many better options), the meat was just not good enough to warrant these prices. Honestly, even if the pricing was lower, I don't think I would come back. As unfortunate as it is, once a restaurant goes down this cost cutting path, it will never come back. But at least I have the memory of what Hanu used to be. read more

Overall a great place to get together with friends for kbbq and drinks. The convenience of being able to make online reservations, free parking and lots of seating is nice, and the meat is of decent quality. The meat is definitely better than most AYCE but def fell short of the best I had. Also, service was decent but one of the servers seemed a bit abrasive and it was kind of weird that they really don't offer one large table for large groups. We had 9 people so they gave us 2 tables that were next to each other but kind of separated by a partition, and also indicated we had to order 2 separate combos. It would've been nice to know this upfront... Also, the sides like the beef jun and stew they give you are nice but seemed kind of cheap and overall place just seemed a bit dated and grimy...not sure if I would go back here... read more

Hanu Korean BBQ is a place that deserves its high rating on Yelp. My friends and I came here on July 4th weekend after a long day of Anime Expo. There was a decent amount of parking with security nearby. The vibe inside was inviting and the staff were fast, responsive and very nice. My friends and I got a large pork and beef combo (~$200) which serves around 5 people. It comes with a large variety of meat as well as ton of sides. After we ordered, the staff immediately brought the sides, ranging from kimchi to bulgogi soup to beef egg pancake. It felt like a feast even before they started cooking the meat. The beef dishes were excellent and had tons of flavor. I really like the brisket and the steak. Hanu's water was very refreshing and somewhat tasty too. The only downside to the experience was the sauces provide were weak and didn't add much flavor. The pork dishes were also not that strong in flavor compared to the beef. Hanu Korean BBQ is worth the trip and is a must try for LA KBBQ! My friends and I all love it and we might come back here if we ever go back to LA! read more

Clean restaurant & good combo of meats for 2, and the service was attentive. Apparently they use some German water filtering system for their water. We got the first combo which is pork, wagu and bugolgi meat. It came with corn cheese, tofu soup, omelette, salad and banchan. The only bummer is the banchan is not unlimited. There were 2 pieces of lettuce and usually I like to wrap the meats in there so it's not a lot to share with another person. They wanted to charge extra when I asked for more. Whereas certain KBBQ spots are will offer to bring you more as soon as you run low. I think this place wasn't bad but I've had better. The staff was really friendly though. read more

Went here for a birthday celebration, first because parking is never a problem and secondly they have a pretty reasonable combo that fit our budget. If you make a reservation on your birthday you get a free champagne, not the best but drinkable. Food was good but definitely not the best you kbbq, lots of other really good places but when you have a big group - parking is always an issue so this is the best option for occasions with a big party. read more

I was in town visiting and wanted to try a Korean BBQ spot that I haven't been to before, and a friend recommended Hanu. We made a reservation for 8 people since it was a Friday night, and we were promptly seated. The place was bustling with people at every table, so it's probably a good idea to make a reservation, especially during the weekend. We decided on Combo A for 5 adults, and it was a good amount of food so that we weren't overstuffed. It comes with various side dishes as well, and all of it was very tasty! All the meats were delicious, but my absolute favorite was the marinated bone-in short rib galbi! So tender and the marinade was the perfect mix of sweet and savory. At the very end, they will come by and make kimchi fried rice for you, which is the best way to end a good meal! Overall, this place was really good and definitely somewhere I would come visit again! read more

So good! This spacious KBBQ spot has a clean, fun vibe, with plenty of parking in the plaza shared with Shrine Karaoke. Service was great, everyone was friendly, attentive, and even cooked the meat. I loved the variety of banchan, and the portions were generous. We ordered the pork and beef combo B, and the meat quality was solid. Definitely worth the price for how much food you get! read more

Love the selection of meat, banchan and service here! The set menu makes it super easy so you don't have to overthink what to order. We got the beef and pork selection for 4 and there was way too much food. I'd say it probably feeds 6! I like that the server cooks the meat for you so you don't have to do it yourself. The exhaust is vented under the grill so the restaurant doesn't get smoky which is great. Large parking lot with easy parking right outside the restaurant. read more

3rd times a charm. This is not AYCE but they offer some good combos to satisfy a the group or individual plates.

Bathrooms are at entrance. Haven't been disappointed at all. And our most recent visit, we met our lovely friends who had their well behaved furbabies and they accommodated.

I love KBBQ but I wasn't a huge fan of this restaurant! I got the marinated beef short ribs and cold noodle for two people. For the high price, I was expecting the Galbi to be more tender.

How to rate Hanu is a bit difficult for me... The food was fine - the meat was tender and flavorful. The banchan included with the combo were more than enough to round out the meal for 2-3 people. From rice paper wraps to corn cheese and kimchi fried rice, all the normal fixings are included with every combo. However, the costs rapidly pile up because refills of radish and rice paper are $3 each! The doenjang jjigae was way too salty. I brought it home and added 2 cups of water to finish it. The yukhoe bibimbap was just alright. For me, it lacked the variety other bibimbaps usually have (more veggies!). It was pretty much just lettuce, yukhoe, and rice with an egg on top. There were hearty amounts of sesame oil, which dominated the entire taste of the dish. We were skeptical about getting non-AYCE - by cost alone, you could be eating a lot more meat for less money. For $109, we got wagyu steak (they do not specify what cut), brisket, and bulgogi. To be fair, this was enough for a party of 2, but I missed the variety of AYCE. The only superior thing is the service. Our table had a very attentive group of men who cooked every meat for us, which in principle is nice. They cook all of one cut of meat at a time, so you have to eat all the brisket first before you can move on to the steak. By the last cut, the bulgogi was unpalatable for me. Ultimately, I prefer to cook a bit of brisket, then bulgogi, and change up what's on the grill until I feel full. read more

I've been looking for a new kbbq spot since Magal closed and this is it. It was easy to book a table 1hr in advance and there was ample free parking. It is located inside a multi-store building, which reminded me of business parks in Korea. We ordered a combo which came with 3x meat, kimchi stew, kimchi fried rice, corn cheese, cold noodles, and ayce banchan. The meat was very good quality. They cook everything for you. The kimchi was just right, corn cheese flavorful, bulgogi not too sweet. Service was excellent and the robots help make everything run smooth. read more

This spot is bomb.com. Expensive but worth every penny. The quality of food is top tier and you get A LOT. It is not AYCE but they have different meal packages you can select from or go Al la carte, up to you! Service was great, Nina was so friendly and kind! She recommended different combos of authentic Korean combos to try and they did not disappoint! SO yummy! Great location in K-Town. Great vibe and good parking, there is a lot. Cute little robots that deliver the meat to you! You can cook yourself but they have runners going around as well as servers that cook the meat for you. It's quite the experience!
