Hangari Kalguksu

The food was delicious, and honestly the portions were so generous that we even had some to take home. Despite how busy it was, the staff worked quickly and efficiently, and everyone helped us with a smile. We tried several dishes and everything was tasty, so we’re looking forward to trying more next time. Parking was $5, and yes, it was quite crowded, but the experience was still great!

The complimentary rice with young radish bibimbap was really delicious. It may seem simple, but it made us feel really happy.

The food here is great but it’s very pricey. Basic kalguksu dishes are over $20 and others mid $20s+. The place is very trendy which probably explains the increasing prices more than inflation. I think you can get equally good dishes elsewhere for less.

There is no point in marking dishes as vegan and vegetarian if you cannot make them flavorful without fish and meat sauces. Also, they are unaware that fish sauce and anchovies are not vegetarian.

For 25$, food was terrible.

It was my first time visiting this place, and I was really impressed — it’s clean and has a nice atmosphere. I had to wait a while before ordering because I was waiting for someone, but the staff were patient and didn’t rush me. When I finally ordered, the food came out generous and delicious.

The bossam was super tender with no unpleasant smell, and the hot stone bibimbap was perfectly sizzling — so good! The clam noodle soup had a rich, flavorful broth, and the noodles tasted fresh and chewy, like they were handmade. And the young radish bibimbap that came with it was honestly amazing.

I’m definitely coming back!

Don’t come here. This pork bossam was $60. Go over to sun nong dan and get something actually justified the$60

The price is a bit high for the quality you receive, and the taste of the food is only mediocre. It's just okay.

Maybe we are weaklings but we only got through a little more than half of the large chicken kalguksu as a party of 4. We would’ve been more than full with just 2 of the regularly sized bowls. But it was so, so flavorful and the chicken portion was very large. This would be so comforting in the winter!

No wait on a Friday around noon. Parking is $5 valet in the lot.

Delicious. Had a wait, you order at the door and then wait to get seated. Wait wasn’t so bad (around 5:30pm on a Sat). The clam kalguksu was my favorite, the tteokbokki was also good (with cheese!). Banchan was 3 types of kimchi which all tasted delicious and fresh. Would come again!

We’ve always loved Hangari and have come here many times. The food and service inside are wonderful — but the valet experience tonight was bad enough that we’re honestly not sure we’ll return.

After our meal, our car was being pulled up and happened to block another valet who was trying to move a car. As we were getting settled into ours, the valet started honking — repeatedly. I rolled down the window to let him know we were just trying to get ready, but he didn’t seem to listen and honked even more aggressively for a good 20 seconds.

It was an unnecessarily aggressive and unpleasant way to end an otherwise nice evening. I really hope the restaurant reconsiders working with this valet company — it would be a shame for such a great dining experience to be ruined by poor parking service.

Newly opened Korean restaurant, long line. The regular bossam, bibimap etc, however their jook ( congee) was very unique. Same mall used to have a restaurant that served abalone jook , but hangary’s were very different , very thick and creamy yet flavor is strong. Highly recommended.

But the star of the night is the mandatory valet parking at the mall. Price went from $2 to $5 , that’s not the problem . Problem is the valet, with very limited English, shouting and screaming and cars/drivers , ordering ppl around as if they were the boss. Asked me where am I going , I told him I couldn’t decide on going to the seafood restaurant that I go often or try the hangary place cuz it seems to be new and with lots of ppl. He told me to take my car and go, exit is over there.

I tried to call their ‘Majestic parking’ to file an official complaint, this guy even stood in front of me and tried to be funny. I wouldn’t move my car and they finally parked it for me.

Coming out of the restaurant, they asked me where I went as I expected . I did get a paper receipt but I didn’t show them. It’s then I saw a small concealed sign with surcharge $10 if not dined at the mall. Finally the owner came out and apologized, understanding that’s not the way to treat customer and promised will pass the message to those valet.

Be prepared to be screamed at if going into that mall, and don’t forget to get a paper receipt to avoid surcharge. Food there was good but probably won’t be going back there anytime soon. Businesses should hire a different parking service.

Kalguksu was good 👍. Cold noodles however was a pass dont recommend wasn't that great, noodles had weird texture and cold soup too sweet. Portions sizes were really good so makes up for the price.
