I’m leaving this review to warn others to check your final credit card charge carefully.

My receipt showed $118.54, but the final posted charge on my credit card was $121.54.
Luckily I always track my spending and I took a photo of the receipt, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed the extra charge.

Mistakes can happen, but a restaurant charging more than what’s printed on the receipt is not a “small mistake.” When I noticed one instance, I can’t help but wonder how often this happens to people who don’t check their statements.

Food was fine, service and atmosphere were okay, but overcharging customers is unacceptable.

If you dine here, verify the amount that posts to your card.

Do not order anything with soup from here. They never package them properly so it ends up spilling everywhere in the bag. It’s happened every single time and most of the other places have managed to figure this sorta stuff out but it seems like they’ll never get it right here. I have been lenient up until this point

To the owners reply - if what you’re saying is true, I urge you to post the video footage from that day. Only thing you’re being truthful about that I was driving Uber. So, if that means I’m not a customer, great. But you also said you allow Uber drivers to use the restroom so which is true? You actually never went into the restroom to dry the floor and I was the furthest thing from aggressive. You are not being truthful AT ALL!! Let’s see the footage!! Take some accountability for your horrible actions.

I had such a horrible experience at this restaurant today. I came in pick up an order and I asked to use the restroom. The guy behind the counter said the food wasn’t ready yet so I asked to use the restroom in which he said yes, and I had just watched someone leave the restroom. A lady then began wiping the floor leading to the bathroom directly in my path and the more I inched toward the restroom the more she blocked the path. She then looked at me and said “the floor is wet, you can’t go in” - I was very confused because I had just watched someone walk out. She then told the Asain man who was also waiting, you can go in and wash your hands….even though I was just told I couldn’t go in due to the floor being wet. So I left out and went to a different restaurant in the complex to use the restroom. Came back to get the food and someone else was actively using the restroom. I called the restaurant to speak about it and the lady on the other end got very irate and told me it was her who did it and she’s the owner so there’s nothing I can do about it and hung up on me. It felt more like a racist act than it did a restroom issue. If the floor is wet, why are your Asian customers still allowed inside to wash their hands. She never went in to dry the floor or even check to see if it was actually wet after the person before me came out.

Great experience! Food was delicious - ordered soy marinated crab, spicy crab, cockle bibimbap, and the pork belly kimchi pancake.
There was only 1 server today and he was doing the most bussing and serving all the tables with a positive attitude. I’ve never seen someone work so hard without rest, maintain composure, and treat customers with so much respect.
He deserves a raise!!!

Tucked away in a plaza in the heart of Los Angeles, HanEuem is the quintessential authentic Korean food serving comfort food and good vibes.

As one of the better places to get raw marinated crab, HanEuem already gets my appreciation and approval. Keep in mind they often run out of the soy sauce marinated crab (bummer, I know!) but their spicy crab isn't bad either.

Their food portions are generous and it truly does taste like comfort Korean food, retaining the authentic flavors while also giving them their own personality.

The place is cozy with sufficient seating for a good amount of people given the size of the place. Being in a plaza, for better or for worse, yes this is yet another valet spot in Ktown.

The service is good, the staff is friendly, and they help you out if needed.

Overall, HanEuem delivers on the promise and is a great spot to grab a meal. Solid 4.5 stars.

Everything we ordered was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Authentic Korean food with amazing flavors! Every dish tasted homemade and full of heart. The side dishes (banchan) were fresh and delicious, Among them, the foods I liked the most ware the octopus samgyeopsal and spicy braised short ribs. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality food and a cozy atmosphere.

🔥 A Hidden Gem That Deserves More Than 5 Stars 🔥

After what felt like an eternity of anticipation, I finally made it to Haneuem—and wow, was it worth the wait. From the moment I stepped in, the ambience radiated upscale comfort with a modern twist on traditional Korean aesthetics. Think warm lighting, sleek interiors, and a vibe that whispers special occasion but welcomes you like a regular.

Let’s talk food—next-level Korean cuisine that pays homage to its roots while elevating every bite. The soy and spicy marinated crabs? An absolute umami bomb, perfectly balanced and addictively flavorful. The LA Galbi, wagyu beef, and spicy short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender and expertly seasoned. Every dish was a standout, but I’d be remiss not to mention the pancakes—crispy-edged, golden, and a must-order for the table.

Service was exceptional across the board—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. The staff made us feel like VIPs without the pretension.

This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. I already can’t wait to come back and bring everyone I know. Haneuem has officially earned a spot in my foodie rotation, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you even waiting for?

If you haven't visited haneuem yet then how can you say that you had a good quality of korean food.
Not only that but also the waiter and waitress services are amazing.
Located in the middle of koreatown easy to stop by before or after any of your plans.

Please try the seafood pancake, which i can definitely call out my favorite!!
Crispy and variety of ingredients inside you can taste.

Once you go you will definitely want to plan another visit next time.
