"It always feels like a party within Han Oak, the cool Kerns restaurant hidden behind a seafoam green door — some days, groups of friends may be singing karaoke in the main dining room; on others, chef Peter Cho may be snapping open beer cans with a dish rag. The meals here are meant to be communal and convivial: Currently, Han Oak is in its gimbap party era, in which guests wrap bulgogi, koji-cured coppa, and seared albacore in nori and rice, with an alarmingly extensive selection of kimchi, pickles, and other accompaniments. It’s always a blast, and exudes celebration without feeling pretentious." - Michelle Lopez, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
