"You’re at Han Il Kwan to gather around a flaming hot tabletop grill and cook some of the best KBBQ in town—as well as surround yourself with the most generously portioned banchan. Seriously, your table will look like an opulent banquet before the high-quality meats even arrive. The deeply flavored spicy pork, sweet-salty bulgogi, and pork belly are must-orders. While the BBQ and banchan are more than enough food for an army (set menus that feed six and eight are also available), you’ll also want to order the crispy skinned mandu and the vegetable-packed japchae, and ask for either the perfectly spicy soondubu or super fluffy egg soufflé which come on the house. Han Il Kwan’s atmosphere strikes a great balance between buzzy and laid-back, so use this place for casual dinners that call for a good time around heaps of BBQ. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
