Hankki

The main goal to visit this place was to try their ramen. And it was soooo delicious! we ordered 2 different options from menu and both were tasty. Also after ramen decided try some sushi which were really good. Staff was nice and helpful . Very nice interior. Definitely come back and can recommend.

Hankki is a sister restaurant to Hanana Sushi - a restaurant that I truly enjoy and have returned to several times. Both restaurants are recommended by the Michelin guide and I was looking forward to trying a restaurant that advertised itself as Korean - Japanese. Arrived for lunch and was presented with main, lunch and drink menus. The main menu looked tired and worn out. Lunch menu was nice and concise although only one of the five dishes was Korean. This has been quite a suprise to me as the restaurant advertised itself as Korean first. The Japanese theme could have also been seen in the choice of wooden chopsticks, which were set at the table on our arrival. I ordered Genmaicha tea, cheaper of the bentos to share and two mains from the lunch menu. Bento was good. Sushi rice was, in my opinion, under seasoned and the budget pick for one of the dishes was avocado maki. I feel that either cucumber roll or perhaps even egg omlet or chive nigiri would have been better and more authentic picks. The bibimbap was poor. It was served in a standard bowl rather than a hot stone one. Whilst neither way to serve bibimbap is wrong, a standard bowl resembles the style of quick eateries and home cooking. Furthermore, the beef mince in the dish lacked seasoning and looked "pale". Sauce served with it was not spicy enough for my liking, but I tend to prefer things on the spicier side. Korokke Sake came with an amazing cabbage salad which was the best part of the dish. The croquettes were okay but I didn't enjoy the sauce. I cannot comment on the miso soup that I was meant to get with the dish as it never arrived and I felt too awkward to ask for it at the time. Both Korokke and Bibimbap were not dishes that could have been eaten with chopsticks alone. We had to explicitly request additional cutlery, which I felt should have been provided for us with the dishes. The overall quality of the service was poor. There seemed to be a good amount of staff on the ground although for some reason the waiters kept alternating attending to the table, which was a bit confusing. Despite that, it was very difficult to get attention of one of the servers as they appeared to be too busy chatting. It also took way too long for the waiter to check in with us after getting the dessert menu. Despite finding some of the dessert options interesting, I decided not to give them a try due to the wait and wanted to just pay and leave. I attempted to pay for food at the counter as I didn't want to sit around for much longer, but I was asked to go back to our table to settle the bill, which seemed quite out of place and left a bitter taste in my mouth after an already questionable experience. Honestly, I am not sure how Hankki managed to get a Michelin recommendation, but I know one thing for sure, It won't be getting a recommendation from me.

The food is tasty, not the best on the market, but nothing to complain about. The design of the restaurant is great, the lighting and overall aesthetic are very pleasant. Music is little bit too loud for talking, but playlist matches the vibes perfectly. Service on the other hand was not great. The wait for appetizer was 20 minutes and another twenty for the main dish- not rush hours- only two other tables taken. Waitress was cleaning the tables with a cloth which she used later to slap her colleague on the bottom, which I found repellent. After taking our appetizer plates, the waitress asked if we enjoyed the food, which let’s say is fine if she would ask the same thing later. Unfortunately I haven’t finished more than a half of my ramen, it was too salty for me, she didn’t say anything which in my opinion is strange. She just asked if we want to order anything more, we declined. It was around 9 p.m. on Sunday, meaning the restaurant was closing. We sat at the table for another 10 or 15 minutes waiting for receipt. We gave up and walked up to the counter, asking if we may pay. The waitress with an attitude said “but you haven’t asked for a receipt..” so I wonder how much longer we would have to sit at an empty table for her to come up.

I quite like this Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant. Their environment, atmosphere and service were very comfortable. The food tasted authentic, and you can feel the chef's careful cooking. The sushi was fresh and beautiful. The pork belly melted in mouth, and the tofu was rich in flavor. The three desserts on the menu were also of high standard. It would be better if there were less carrots in the baby squid. Generally speaking, I will recommend it!

We had a wonderful meal here. It exceeded our expectations. The service was fantastic, courtesy of Jakub. The sushi was prepared with great care, and the staff went above and beyond. The best sushi ever. Thank you, you made our Krakow holiday very special. Greetings from the Netherlands.

This low rating would probably jump to a 5 with minor modifications. PLEASE CHANGE THE MUSIC. What in the name of all things holy is the soundtrack of the place??? While the decor is wonderful, the music makes you feel like you’re on one of the cheap boat bars along the Vistula in Warsaw. Why is a mid-tier Dua Lipa remix playing here? Anyways, we got the popcorn chicken, tempura shrimp (ebi), sake (salmon) nigiri, panna kotta and cheesecake. In my opinion, the Michelin guide recommendation oversells the place. While the food was good, it was just that - good. We had a special treat of salmon underbelly, which was sublime. If you have the chance, try it and don’t share the two pieces to properly enjoy the cut of fish. The rest was either “20%” too bland, or I’m too simple to understand it. BTW the panna kotta only looks nice, really don’t recommend it, get the cheesecake if you need a dessert.

Incredible experience - food, service and decor. So much attention to detail from the waitress’s side, delicious mocktails and really unique, fresh flavours. I never tried their vegan panna cotta and I’m absolutely gutted I forgot to order it after dinner ;(
