HanBop 한밥

You can usually prejudge a Korean restaurant by the banchan that comes with your food and HanBop nails it. You can really taste what Koreans call sohn-mat (hand taste), when that certain flavor is there, feels like momma's cooking. Menu is a bit all over the place but not in a bad way. Korean staples like bo-ssam and spicy chicken touches you right in the mouth hole. Worth a try if you've been watching Kdramas and wanna taste some of the food you see them eating. Gooooo nowwwww!

Great Korean food! There was a bit of a wait for food, but everyone working there was so kind. The spicy rice cakes were delicious! The salmon was great and served with a bunch of onions on a hot plate. My favorite was the vegetable kimbap. It tasted so fresh and good and I want to go back for it. The kimchi stew was very spicy but their kimchi is fresh and not fishy. I also loved the side dishes, the miso soup was amazing. Will definitely go back.

I was here on 1/25 between lunch and dinner. A few days after they opened. The restaurant was very clean. The service was excellent, very punctual, friendly, and accurate. They even gave us complimentary korean popcorn chicken. It was so amazing and fresh! Sweet and a little spicy. All the Korean sides were good, the kim chi had a little spice and a good crunch to it. I ordered the bulgogi (beef) and It was served sizzling! It was flavorful, fresh, and sweet. My daughter ordered the yuk gae jang and she loved it. This is her favorite korean dish. We will definitely be back soon.

It was the best Korean food that I had in Irvine! You must try it. I ate hwe-dup-bap, sashimi with rice. It is really delicious! I tried padak, the popcorn chicken, as well and it was great too. It became my favorite restaurant to go when I eat out.

I visited Hanbop Kitchen yesterday and was quite impressed by the quality of their Korean food, the hospitable service, and the very reasonable prices. The Bulgogi and Galbi were both delicious and cooked to perfection, but the real standout for me was their Kimchi. It was THE best Kimchi I have ever had, and I have tried many Korean restaurants in the LA Koreatown and OC areas. The service was also outstanding, with the staff being friendly, attentive, and genuinely interested in making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. But what really stood out to me was the great value for the money. The prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Korean food. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I am looking forward to my next visit.
