    THE KIMCHI JIGAE ALTERED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY-- the soup had depth and complexity of flavor that I attribute to the anchovy stock base. Kabocha (which I wish there was more of!) was soft and sweet. And the pork ribs-- so tender and much more flavorful than expected. My first time trying saeujang but it did not disappoint. The fried shrimp heads bursting with flavor were delicious. The shrimp itself was firm and had a 糯唧唧 texture, but was marinated a little too long and needed more citrus. Kimchi jeon was ok, needed more salt, crispier edges, and less time on the fire, but delicious nonetheless.

    NYC ktown - took the subway to ktown and explored and decided to try out this restaurant we saw on Yelp coz it didn't look like your ordinary Korean restaurant. So glad we tried it! Their lunch combos were very affordable. For $20 we got a bunch of sides, soup and main dish. In comparison the $28 soy marinated shrimp was such a poor deal - and we didn't enjoy it either because it's too much soy sauce flavor. But if that's what you like then I think they did a good job. If they marinated in salt and some other seasoning it would've made it better. I got the chicken noodle soup combo and my hubs got the garlic chicken combo. Their mashed potato banchan was super delicious! Their kimchi was watered down and I definitely had better ones elsewhere. I wish my noodles were a little more chewy. Seems like they got softened in the soup quite quickly. The soup itself was nourishing and the shreds of chicken breast were edible. On the other hand, the garlic chicken was bomb - so much garlic flavor, love it! We also enjoyed the croquette. Good thing we got 3 pieces instead of 2. It's very creamy and savory with good seasoning. The ambiance is hip and lively. We saw some young people but also office workers having lunch here on a weekday. Service was prompt and friendly. No wait when we walked in around noon on a weekday. I recommend this place if you're in the area!

    Firstly, the meal didn't start off the best. Apps and entrees ordered took 35 minutes to hit the table at lunch service. Hard to know you have to scarf down the food......but everything after that was absolutely spectacular. 1. Croquettes- delish. 2. Fried mushrooms - so crunchy and crispy, packed with flavor. (Dipping sauce is amazing) 3. Spicy pork bbq - TO DIE FOR 4. Galbi BBQ - signature dish need I say more? 5. Tiramisu - meh I'm not a huge fan of the dessert but it was nice. 6. Spring Garden - YOU NEED THIS.

    Went to Her Name is Han with a friend with a reservation and had a good time! We got one a hot pot and pork belly to share. The food was delicious! The pork belly was full of flavor and melted in my mouth. The banchan was plentiful and offered refills when asked. Was a bit frustrated that we had to wait even with the reservation, but overall pretty good service. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. Restaurant was busy for a weekday but had a great atmosphere.
