HamaHippo Korean Kitchen

I just moved in to the neighborhood nearby and wanted to try this Korean food restaurant. Very surprisingly there is nothing I can say wrong about it. Great food, great services, and the price is worth all.

I went on Friday and had to go again on Monday!!! Planning my next trip already!!! On Friday, I had tofu dolsot bibimbap and hama chicken. Both were AMAZING. So much that I had to have it again, so on Monday, I had the beef dolsot bibimbap and dumplings!! It is so so gooood the service was amazing they are so nice and wonderful. I might have to go again this week and bring my friends!!!

My new favorite restaurant, great food, good vibes, great staff.

I was lucky enough to notice this restaurant while out one day when it was new, and went during the soft opening. I don't even think its been two months but my partner and I have gone in or had takeout a total of 4 times, and they remembered us after just the first visit, even commenting on my absence when my partner picked up our food alone.

I don't think we've gone on a Friday or Saturday but we've gone for lunch and for dinner, and it's been pretty empty so far. The aesthetic is really simple but cute, it's small but feels spacious, and the music isn't loud or distracting.

So far we've tried the Pajun, Hama Chicken, Soondubu, and Japchae which all came quick and has met or exceeded our expectations. They've also served us complimentary tea to start and rice punch the last time we went as a dessert. The Hama Chicken isn't labelled as spicy on the menu for those of you averse, but I think its a good level. The staff has always been friendly, attentive, and willing to answer questions about the menu.

My one critique is that I wish they had knives because I don't enjoy eating fried chicken with either my hands or chopsticks but otherwise 10/10.

Boyfriend and I have been waiting for this place to open, so glad we could finally give it a try! We got the Hama chicken, Bulgogi, and Galbi. The hama chicken was soo good!! A perfect amount of spice coming from someone with a low spice tolerance lol. Def recommend! Yummy food

My friends and I went to a newly opened Korean gem, a brand new Korean family restaurant in Fullerton. I went to try their steaming bowl of Galbi Tang, and it took center stage. It was amazing.
The menu boasts a variety of authentic Korean delights, from the crispy and perfectly seasoned Korean fried chicken to the delicate and flavorful kimchi pancakes, every dish showcases the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and culinary excellence.
The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and very clean. The friendly staff add to the overall warmth, ensuring a memorable dining experience.
In conclusion, this new Korean restaurant is a must-visit for those craving an authentic taste of Korea. It was about time we had a family Korean restaurant on this side of Fullerton. No need to drive to Buena Park or Garden Grove. Glad this place opened up. Will be visiting again...
