HamaHippo Korean Kitchen

This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. I had the tofu beef stew medium spice with all the fixings on the side. I also had an ice cold Cass beer which I have had before. Bohye was very attentive and gave me great recommendations. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.

Awesome! Service is impeccable, food is wonderful and banchan --- so so good. Owner remembers and greet us with each return. Friendly neighborhood restaurant, with homecooked style food!

Delicious and authentic tofu soup. Almost as commendable as the food was the service and work ethic of the staff/owner. 10 out of 10 new favorite spot. Will recommend.

I found the perfect korean restaurant to go with my daughter. My son in law loved the cucumber tomato salad banchan. Liked the interior also. Server was nice too.

We’ve been coming here ever since it opened , and I’m so thankful we have this excellent Korean option on this side of Fullerton. They have a wide variety of items , which is great to open up your palette to the various Korean flavors beyond the typical bbq that most associate Korean food with. The owners and staff are very thoughtful, and are a big part of the reason of why we enjoy coming here. My favorites are the galbi tang, the pajun(pancakes) and the wings. Oh also the gamja tang is delicious!! Kid friendly!

A Korean restaurant located in Fullerton near Brea. It’s tucked away in a mall that’s not easy to find, so I’d passed by many times without noticing this place, but it turned out to be a hidden gem. Overall, the dishes had a stronger sweetness than saltiness, which I personally liked since I prefer sweet flavors. The side dishes were clean and well-prepared, and the staff were friendly. Although I don't understand that customers have to cover the card transaction fee, everything else about the restaurant was quite good.

I will not apologize for forgetting to take pictures. The food was wonderful, the staff was attentive but not intrusive, and everything had a very cozy feel around it.

My husband chose the Hama chicken and the mushroom soondubu, and I chose the dumpling (veggie) soondubu. From the sides he absolutely loved the broccoli tofu and I am a kimchi lover. But both were refilled at request.

Thank you for a wonderful experience.

My first time here today. I was blown away by the taste of the food. With my server Tori’s great advice, I had the pork tofu soup. It was a great mix of savory blends…. I would come back here immediately..

I got BiBim Nangmyeon (Spicy Cold Noodles) and Soondae (Blood Sausages). The sides were great. My favorite were the fish cakes since it was peppery (something I’ve never tried the way they made it). The tomato and cucumber salad was great, sour and refreshing. Kimchi tastes homemade, more on the gingery side of flavor. The only thing I would have preferred would be a stronger cold noodle broth. Prices were reasonable.
