| - I first heard of hwaro from my friend. I told him that I was hungry and wanted some meat, I told him of swish, but he countered me and said I should try hwaro. He said it was cheaper than swish, and more meat selection.
So we got to hwaro on spring mtn and decatur, seating was almost instantaneous. They gave us the condiments and a little later some steamed eggs and soup.
I tried the fat ass, sliced rib eye, brisket, marinated chicken.
Well, since there was four of us, they only seated us on a small table....I thought it was going to be enough. Boy I was wrong. I wish we could be been seated in the big table with 2 hot plates. Well, first time, learn from it. The first time was great. We ordered at least 5 batches. But since there was only one hot plate, the cooking was slow. Can't really make it hotter or the plate will burn the meat. I have told the server to just put a rice cooker with us (I eat a load of rice) since they ate pretty slow on giving me more rice. My friends couldn't believe how much rice I ate that time, they would joke worth me by calling me extra rice.
Anyways, we learned from that experience to always get the big table to have to hot plates to cook with. One for beef, the other one for chicken. Chicken cooked slow since you actually have to cook it through. Don't want to get salmonella.
In a week from the first time I've been there, I've been to hwaro four times, and twice a week thereafter. I'm pretty sure the employees remember me and my friends by now. They know where to seat us.
If you want good korean bbq for cheap, they have the lunch and late night specials for only $17...all day special is at $21. Cheaper than honey pig and swish. But swish is a whole different genre of food, so I would still go to swish. As for honey pig, read my other review.
Would I recommend hwaro to my friends? Yes, actually, I already had. Would I eat at hwaro' s again? Yes, and I already had. What I don't like about hwaro's? They're a little slow on giving us more batches of meat and rice. And also, they always put down the flames so the meat don't cook fast....because they try to slow down the meat consumption. Me and my friends would just put it back up, though. Lol.
If they just let the customers eat as much and as fast as the customers can, they would've gotten a 5 stars. But since they throttle down the food, they get 4 stars from me.
Hope this helps any future customers.
