This officially goes on my list of favourite places in Toronto to eat. Han Ba Tang is the perfect example of Korean interpretation of western restaurants. I loved going to places like this when I lived in Seoul.
The food is all Korean-western fusion! I had the galbi & spicy pork tacos and a lovely bulgogi & glass noodles dish. It was delicious! The tacos are actually pretty traditional (corn tortillas, shredded cabbage) with delicious traditional Korean meat. It was a night of amazing flashbacks.
Theres a great selection of drinks (mixed soju drinks, import beers, soju deals, and sangria) and the menu is always being updated. The staff and service is fantastic! I ran into one of the friendliest servers I've met in awhile.
Last but not least, the atmosphere in this place is fantastic. It also reminded me of a few underground places in Hongdae.
