"You’re likely reading this list to find the best tableside cooking experiences (‘cause grills just wanna have fun), but Han II is equally loved for their a la carte menu, too. Lots of nearby office workers and diners on the go hit this popular Buford Highway spot for a quick meal—their $20 kitchen-cooked lunch box comes with one of their excellently seasoned proteins and a side salad. For those with both time and $47.99 to spare, the AYCE menu is a big treat because you can try more things. Delicious soy-marinated beef and pork belly strips sizzle on tableside grills while an array of banchan—creamy corn, steamed eggs, savory soybean paste soup—fills every corner of the table. Cap off your meat-centric meal with a tummy-soothing cup of cinnamon tea." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
