"Her Name is Han is a cool, casual Korean restaurant on 31st Street that looks like a cross between a library, an East Village apartment, and a movie studio. As for the food, everything from the seafood stews to the spicy pork and noodle soups tend to be memorable. We've sent a lot of people here, and the texts we get after they eat always say something along the lines of: “Holy sh*t.”" - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus
"Her Name Is Han in Koreatown does lunch sets that draw a crowd. (It’s easy to make a reservation though.) The lunch sets are all between $18-20, and you can choose from things like a mini beef bulgogi hot pot, bibimbap, or grilled mackerel, all of which come with banchan and lots of sides. We like the mild yuzu chicken noodle soup, which has subtle pops of yuzu juice in each spoonful to keep things interesting." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"Her Name Is Han specializes in homestyle Korean food. All of the dishes are uniformly excellent, and the space itself looks like the film set of an improbably large New York City apartment. Come with a group and share a large pot of seafood stew, then supplement with some dumplings, rice cakes, and pork belly. This place is not only one of the best options in the area, it’s also one of our favorite restaurants in the city. And you can book a table pretty easily online." - bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, matt tervooren
"Whether you’re looking for Korean BBQ, hot pot, or soju, Her Name Is Han has you covered. Find all of that and more in their online delivery and takeout menu." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"“If you’re familiar with Bong Joon-ho, it’s probably because of his Academy Award-winning film Parasite. But he’s also got a bunch of other great films in his arsenal from as far back as the early ’90s. One of my personal favorites is Mother (2009), a heartbreaking story about a man who’s accused of a crime that his mother will do anything to prove he’s innocent of. It’s moving to see a working class widow like Kim Hye-ja fight for her son, even when it seems like there’s no way she can help him. I won’t say what happens in the end, but I can tell you that the mother in this movie shows care for her son by feeding him - usually a hearty pot of Korean seafood stew like the one you can order from Her Name Is Han right now.” -ND" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, hillary reinsberg, arden shore
