| - I first fell in love with this restaurant when I attended the high school across the street - their lunch specials were amazing (delicious, great value, and excellent price point). I recall the lunch specials being less than $8-9 back in the day. I went back yesterday since I had the day off from work, and was hopeful for the same nostalgic experience. The prices went up, the chicken and pork lunch specials were a bit over $12, while the beef lunch special was just over $13. Admittedly, I was a little bummed out by the new prices, but a price increase was to be expected.
The lunch special included a miso tofu soup and a plate that was filled with the following: pickled radish, lettuce salad, Korean sweet potatoes, 2 spring rolls, an ice-cream scoop sized rice, and the meat of your choice. Interestingly enough, the radish and salad were all placed underneath the meat so we had to dig around to get to it. We got the beef and chicken special, and everything tasted the same. The spring rolls were exactly the way I remembered it, and the chicken is still the best Korean marinated chicken I've tasted in town. The only thing that was disappointing were the potatoes, it was not saucy enough, and therefore not as sweet as I had remembered them to be. This made me really sad because I always thought Hankang had the best Korean potatoes in the city. We were in and out in less than an hour, so I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the NW and in need of a quick bite. The price makes me a bit hesitant since I recall lower price once upon a time but for the variety you get, not too shabby. I would definitely return.
