I finally stopped by this place after walking pass it a million times! Every time I ask my bf if we can go to han ba tang, he'd be like nah he's not into Korean bars. But today I put my foot down and i said we're going, end of story! So we arrived here at 6pm, and it was empty except for maybe two tables. We were seated quickly at a table which is right next to an outlet (yay for those that needs to charge their phone).
I was really excited to try their flavoured soju and ordered their soju flight - $16 (Friday special). Flavours were strawberry, pineapple and apple cinnamon (which are apparently the popular ones). My favourite would definitely have to be the pineapple soju, not as strong :p - I have a low tolerance for alcohol.
As for the food, we ordered three items. First, was the kimchi fries with bulgogi - $10 + $3 add-on. Adding the bulgogi is a must. Second, was the creamy dukbokki with bacon - $10 and finally the spoon pizza (sweet potato base) - $11.
The kimchi fries were good but nothing spectacular, I do like the kimchi fries more at banh mi boys though. Creamy dukbokki was good because it had bits of bacon and was also cheesy. And the spoon pizza has a sweet potato base which I like because 1) I felt like I was eating something healthy, 2) I love sweet potato.
Please note that these are small portions and are meant to be shared. As for the service, it was not too bad. Our water got refilled throughout our time there, but it was a bit hard to wave down someone for the bill because it got super busy later on the night. I tried waving down the manager? Or was he a waiter? Not sure, but seemed like he was busy flirting with one of the hostess lol. Anyway, finally got the bill and bam! Total was around $60! So be prepared to pay a little bit more than expected.
Overall, I'd come back again because I really enjoy the vibe here. They got good music and great drinks and food! If you don't like coming here when it's busy, come right when they open!
