1st meal when we got to vegas! AYCE Korean bbq! What a great price end up being $100 for 4 people. Food was good. Came out in a timely manner tho we did have to wait a bit for a few things and something's forgotten but we just ordered again so that we got it. The meat were perfect not thick and cooked perfectly not have to wait from being thick cuts service was great friendly staff. They definitely kept the grill clean from changing it when well seasoned which the last bit of food when we were about done we didn't want to change the grill but hey who complaining. Over very good food the mexican corn app was amazing the flavor of the edamame very good. They offered ice cream as dessert included i got the affogato which was so good. What i needed to get the day started after a red eye flight
Great food and fast service like always. This is the best Korean BBQ in Las Vegas. No other place compares to this one. This is my go to spot and I live 30 mins away. Also the best for when family or friends come alone too
Called a week in advance to see if I could make a reservation for 11 people on a Saturday at 4 PM. They don't take reservations, but they were very helpful and let me know to call the same day to be added to the waitlist, then call again about an hour before to confirm our full party would be showing up. The inside does feel pretty crowded at first, but once you get toward the back of the restaurant it opens up more and feels much more spacious. They have larger tables for groups as well as smaller tables for parties of four. Customer service was great and the food started coming out almost immediately after we ordered. Ordering was a little overwhelming in the beginning just because there are so many options and we ended up trying almost everything on the menu. Our group isn't big on pork, so we mostly stuck with the beef selections. The tomahawk was definitely the favorite of the night....everyone at the table really enjoyed it. Overall, really good food and a fun group dining experience.
Our server Luis is fantastic, very nice and very attentive!! Of curse the food is excellent
This place is AMAZING! This is my favorite place in town for KBBQ! I will always go here for Korean bbq, we are always bringing friends and family too! The staff are always so nice and friendly. This is my all time favorite KBBQ spot!! I love the meat options and the appetizer selection, as well as the sides. I love the vibes at this spot and the music is always great playing in the background! Will be back soon for KBBQ
Hwaro 2 has been in my rotation since this second location opened. Dragon Factory owns so many spots in town that they have become the barometer for sushi and KBBQ, and this one still hits for both consistency and quality. Forget the hushed, label-driven rooms chasing A5 Wagyu bragging rights. Hwaro 2 is loud, smoky, and alive with the sound of meat hitting hot grills. You smell fat caramelizing, hear pork belly pop and hiss, and the table crowds with dishes until there is hardly room left for your soju. This is the heartbeat of KBBQ, not the showroom. Once the brisket round is done, the premium steak and tomahawk are the move. Pork belly brings richness, short ribs hit that sweet-salty note, and the bulgogi is the guilty sticky-sweet pleasure that sneaks in no matter how focused you are on the "serious" cuts. Seafood holds up, sides stay sharp, and the pro move is specifying to your server that you only want one or two orders of the larger cuts at a time so they hit the grill fresh and nothing goes to waste. The crew hustles, but management does not staff enough people on the floor. Servers and bussers do everything they can, so tip them well. These days the table comes with a single watery sweet BBQ sauce by default. What needs to return are the staples that make the experience whole: gochujang with some bite, and the sesame oil with salt and pepper dip that cuts through the richness. Bring those back without raising the price and Hwaro 2 separates from the pack again. Late night is the move. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. the spread drops to $25.95 with drink deals, and the vibe shifts from family dinner to industry hangout. Plates flying, drinks clinking, the low roar of every table grilling at once. That is the Hwaro I come for. It is not refined and it is not supposed to be. It is meat, fire, and noise at a fair price. 4 out of 5. Staff the floor and bring back the proper sauces and it is five alllll day
Food was fine but service was a little lackluster. We had to ask for our grill to be changed every single time, and the portion sizes were a bit ridiculous for our table size. The atmosphere is also kinda meh compared to the main location. Corn cheese is my favorite here and their bulgogi is pretty good too. House salad, fries, brisket, and spicy pork were all very good. I also loved the brownie with ice cream as a dessert option. I wish the meal came with the typical Korean side dishes that other spots serve. To our surprise, the server charged us for 6 people when we had 5, most likely to hit us with the auto gratuity charge. It wasn't a huge issue, but the cashier had to point us to us that we were being charged for an extra person. Overall, Hwaro is a good choice, especially for their late night deal. However, I wish the service and amenities were better for the cost.
The atmosphere was filled with fantastic energy, and the food was nothing short of exceptional! Our server was attentive, guiding us through the menu and ensuring we had everything we needed. They made it a point to check on us every 10 minutes, which was nice because we wanted to try everything on the menu. The only downfall was that they only had cold sake, its good but I occasionally enjoy it warm. Besides that, everything else was delicious.
We arrived at Hwaro 2 around 10 PM and waited about an hour to get seated. We usually go to the other Hwaro location, but we like to switch it up since Hwaro 2 has some different food options we enjoy. What keeps us coming back is the quality of their meats and the corn cheese, which is always a favorite. This location, along with the original, is one of our go-to Korean BBQ spots. The inside is clean and well-kept, and the staff is always efficient. They bring out the food quickly and are great about changing the grill when needed.
Amazing! All you eat for a great price. Food is delicious, service was fast, placed was packed! So be prepared for a waitlist! But definitely worth the wait.
Hwaro is my #1 KBBQ spot and always will be! From the amazing service and making sure that our grill always has meat, to the lively music and perfect ambience for a nice night out. Every experience is always a good one! Their meat is so tender, food comes out quick, and the servers are always so attentive. I didn't get to catch our servers name last night but she was very nice and if it wasn't for her warning of big portions, we would have paid for leftovers! No matter if the employees were a server or not, every one of them were on top of it in making every table happy!

We come to Hwaro 2 pretty frequently, and while the food is always great, the service can sometimes be hit or miss. Tonight, though, Jehsica completely changed that. She gave us the best service we've ever had here. Even though the restaurant was very busy, she never missed a beat. She was attentive without hovering, checked on us at just the right times, never forgot a single thing we asked for, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. It's rare to receive service this consistent when a restaurant is packed, and she absolutely nailed it. Jehsica made our experience exceptional, and we hope to have her as our server again. She truly deserves recognition! read more
Stopped in for dinner with family. Was not happy the wait list situation. It has to be updated! My husband is disabled, can't stand for an extended period of time, and we had to wait for45 minutes when our estimated wait time was only 20 minutes. The lighting in the area attracted lots of bugs and I got bit. The food was good and the wait staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Food kept coming as we requested. read more

If you're looking for a classic kbbq spot this is it. No fancy meats or 3 different menus. Simple, straight to the point. If you want a lot of parking, good service, small cozy spot. This is it. 5 items per order not including sides. 1 hour 20min to eat. $26 for lunch or late night. $30 all day menu. If you want more than their signature sauce that's by every table just ask. They have sesame oil, salt, bean paste, soy sauce, siracha, and actual spicy mayo. Can't beat the price. Bathrooms super slippery, you have been warned. read more

This was my second time here, and it was just as good as the first. The meat is really good, and the service is fast. We did the AYCE for about $30 per person, which is a great deal. The staff is friendly and very helpful. My favorites were the brisket and the bulgogi. Kimchi was a must!! We also ordered Sapporo beer, which went perfectly with the food. The ambiance is really nice and makes the experience even better. Fun side note: one of the servers looks just like Jungkook from BTS really handsome The only downside is that there's only one restroom per gender, which can be inconvenient when the place is busy. Other than that, I'd definitely come back again. read more

We had dinner here with my in laws a few months back but forgot to make a review! It was really good and definitely makes top list of places to go for kbbq! Although I wish they didn't marinate the tomahawk in that sauce. I prefer it plain then dip it in whatever sauce we want read more

My friend and I were looking for Korean bbq place and we came to Hwaro.. honestly hands down best Korean bbq ever! The lunch special is $26.95 from open to 4pm and then the premium begins. Which is $34.95 per person from 4pm to close, with the premium you can literally choose anything off the menu! Out server very nice and attentive. They always made sure we were doing good and if we needed to order anything else. The place inside is well decorated and clean. I'd highly recommend trying this place out! read more

Hwaro is easily one of my top places for kbbq. They have great selection of appetizers and sides--shrimp tempura, tofu soup, padak, "the shit", japchae. They are my personal faves and they never miss. And of course, their iced coffee. The price is very reasonable, and the quality of the meats is always good--never had a bad cut. Their appetizers are good, their sauce is definitely one of the better ones out there, customer service is consistently great--fast and attentive, and the ambiance is super chill. read more

For late night passing 10pm its only $25 for each customer and is this ayce ? My bad hah jusy wanting to make sure
Late night is 10pm-Close Monday-Thursday and it is $25 per person AYCE, you just don't get access to the premium All-Day options but all the kbbq essentials are there!
Can they seat a party of 15?
I believe so. There are several large table seating areas that can easily accommodate large groups. We've been there for family parties with a dozen people. You should call ahead to make a rez and verify they can accommodate the entire group how you…
Hi is the original hwaro closed for good?
They just recently reopened the original location! (as of Feb '24) I noticed the price on that menu is a few dollars more than the Hwaro 2 menu that's posted to their website. (All-Day Special $29 vs $33)…
When will the other location be opening back up?
Do u still cater reservation? How bout a party of 15, how would that work? Thanks!
Unfortunately they don't take reservations anymore. I would recommend going an hour early to be put on the waitlist since it's a big party
Last we check they were closed.. are they still closed or open already?
They should be open already.
