Han Il Kwan

"Widely regarded as one of the city’s best options for Korean barbecue, Han II Kwan has been doing its thing in the Richmond District for years. It’s a casual, low-key place to get either an affordable lunch or a family-size dinner complete with soup, meat, seafood, noodles, and more." - Lena Park

"This no-frills Korean barbecue destination is ideal for a jaunt from the park for a small group looking to tie one off before headed home for the day. Beyond barbecue, though, this ultra-popular, decades-old restaurant offers fine soups, hot stone bibimbap, japchae, and more." - Justine Jones, Paolo Bicchieri

"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

"You go to My Tofu House for homestyle Korean cooking. You go to Han Il Kwan to fill up on heaps of Korean BBQ. This is where to gather your best people around a tabletop grill, and order the peppery, just-so-damn-good spicy pork on repeat. Complementing the meal is generously portioned banchan. Your table will look like an opulent banquet before the high-quality meats even arrive. While the grilled meats are of course the main event, it’s nice to round out your order with crispy skinned mandu and vegetable-packed japchae." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
