Hwaro used to be a favorite of mine for ayce k-bbq. I haven't gone in a while because I tried not to do ayce too much. I went yesterday for lunch because I was craving k-bbq and was curious to see if Hwaro is still good. Sadly, the quality has gone downhill here. I did the all day special for $23, which basically included every meats offered on the menu. The only good meats were the pork cheek, squid, and baby octopus. Brisket was too fatty. Tongue was too chewy. The prime steak, which is supposed to be the best and hence, is limited to one per person, was tough as heck. The skirt steak was better than the prime steak. Steamed egg was good, but bean paste soup was flavorless. Green tea ice cream tasted like vanilla ice cream. Service was ok; better than average Asian restaurants. Overall, I left feeling very unsatisfied.
