Hwaro 2 AYCE KBBQ

First time trying this restaurant. When the server brought us to the table, there were already a few side dishes placed there. I had no idea how long they’d been sitting out — even if they’re cold dishes, they’re not going to stay fresh. So, I asked the waitress to replace them with fresh ones. The T-bone steak was also too salty. The steamed egg was not tender! The Gyoza was deep fry not pan fry. As a BBQ restaurant, not having a range hood (smoke extractor) is a big disadvantage — the air was quite smoky and uncomfortable. Service: We ordered a drink, but it was never brought to our table until we had to ask another server. No one came to check on us or clear the empty dishes. We had to ask the busboy or busgirl to remove them ourselves.

NOTE they only accept diner groups of size 2 of more. If you can get past that, this is a very great place with lots of variety at an unbeatable value! They require a minimum group size because the food portions are HUGE, be really to eat a lot. The tomahawk is very unique, and the Hwaro NY steak are one of their best options. I enjoyed their creative spins on Cheamy shrimp tempura and "The shit". Padak was ok too

Love this place! My fav are the jalapeño beef belly—-sooo good, the tomahawk, short ribs, beef belly. We got upgraded to All day special on Halloween lunch, service was superb!

We originally planned to dine at the upscale Japanese BBQ restaurant next door, but their attitude toward babies was very unfriendly, and the restroom didn’t have a diaper changing table. By chance, we ended up at the Korean BBQ restaurant next door instead. We ordered the $29.99 per person all-you-can-eat option, which allows one steak per person, the three of us ordered three steaks, and they were delicious with great value for money. The spicy tofu soup was also very good. The staff served the food quickly, were very polite, and diligently changed our grill plates. We’d definitely like to come back again next time.

Be careful, the streaks are big. Everything was great. We waited until towards the end to order steak, and they were massive for this type of dining.

Hwaro 2 absolutely nails the AYCE KBBQ experience! The quality of the meat is top-tier — buttery brisket, juicy pork belly, marinated short ribs that practically melt on the grill — and they just keep it coming. The variety is fantastic, from premium cuts to seafood options, and everything is incredibly fresh. The banchan (side dishes) are flavorful and constantly refilled without even having to ask. Service is fast, friendly, and on top of every detail, making sure the grills are clean and orders are rolling out smoothly. For an all-you-can-eat spot, they don’t cut corners — it feels more like a high-end Korean BBQ experience but at a flat price. Definitely one of the best AYCE KBBQ spots I’ve ever been to. A must-visit if you’re serious about your KBBQ!

I love their sides and meat options! The meat cuts are sliced to a perfect thickness, especially since I love the thin sliced variants of meats; the thinness not being too thick is important. A single serving of one meat is a lot though, so I ask for half-servings each time, and finish that off before determining if I can eat another half or not.

This is my first time to this location. Just as good as the first location down the street. The food was on point and server was very attentive to are table .

First time here Best customer service The food was delicious, very decent price. $29.99 price include all day specials meats.

Hwaro 2 has been in my rotation since this second location opened. Dragon Factory owns so many spots in town that they have become the barometer for sushi and KBBQ, and this one still hits for both consistency and quality. Forget the hushed, label-driven rooms chasing A5 Wagyu bragging rights. Hwaro 2 is loud, smoky, and alive with the sound of meat hitting hot grills. You smell fat caramelizing, hear pork belly pop and hiss, and the table crowds with dishes until there is hardly room left for your soju. This is the heartbeat of KBBQ, not the showroom. Once the brisket round is done, the premium steak and tomahawk are the move. Pork belly brings richness, short ribs hit that sweet-salty note, and the bulgogi is the guilty sticky-sweet pleasure that sneaks in no matter how focused you are on the "serious" cuts. Seafood holds up, sides stay sharp, and the pro move is specifying to your server that you only want one or two orders of the larger cuts at a time so they hit the grill fresh and nothing goes to waste. The crew hustles, but management does not staff enough people on the floor. Servers and bussers do everything they can, so tip them well. These days the table comes with a single watery sweet BBQ sauce by default. What needs to return are the staples that make the experience whole: gochujang with some bite, and the sesame oil with salt and pepper dip that cuts through the richness. Bring those back without raising the price and Hwaro 2 separates from the pack again. Late night is the move. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. the spread drops to $25.95 with drink deals, and the vibe shifts from family dinner to industry hangout. Plates flying, drinks clinking, the low roar of every table grilling at once. That is the Hwaro I come for. It is not refined and it is not supposed to be. It is meat, fire, and noise at a fair price. 4 out of 5. Staff the floor and bring back the proper sauces and it is five alllll day

Took my son to dinner for his birthday. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. I usually am happy with the service here but it took a long time to get our first order in. We didn't get checked on as much as usual. It took forever get water refills and napkins, etc. the food was good and they surprised my son with a treat for his birthday.

Easy to join the Yelp waitlist prior to arriving to the restaurant. Received the text within committed time and was asked to be seated promptly. They give you an hour and 20min window to enjoy the deliciousness. We really enjoyed the sides and the proteins. Our favorite was the Tomahawk, brisket, thin pork belly just to name a few... it was all good. Service was efficient and pleasant. Can't wait to go back! I'll be better and take pics next time!

Food was fine but service was a little lackluster. We had to ask for our grill to be changed every single time, and the portion sizes were a bit ridiculous for our table size. The atmosphere is also kinda meh compared to the main location. Corn cheese is my favorite here and their bulgogi is pretty good too. House salad, fries, brisket, and spicy pork were all very good. I also loved the brownie with ice cream as a dessert option. I wish the meal came with the typical Korean side dishes that other spots serve. To our surprise, the server charged us for 6 people when we had 5, most likely to hit us with the auto gratuity charge. It wasn't a huge issue, but the cashier had to point us to us that we were being charged for an extra person. Overall, Hwaro is a good choice, especially for their late night deal. However, I wish the service and amenities were better for the cost.

Hwaro is my #1 KBBQ spot and always will be! From the amazing service and making sure that our grill always has meat, to the lively music and perfect ambience for a nice night out. Every experience is always a good one! Their meat is so tender, food comes out quick, and the servers are always so attentive. I didn't get to catch our servers name last night but she was very nice and if it wasn't for her warning of big portions, we would have paid for leftovers! No matter if the employees were a server or not, every one of them were on top of it in making every table happy!

The service here is always amazing Jessica help us a lot! Everyone is so attentive and friendly. The staff checks on us often without being annoying, and they make sure we have everything we need. Super organized team they really care about the customers. The ambiance here is super cozy and welcoming. The lighting, music, and layout make it perfect for both small groups and big gatherings.

The atmosphere was filled with fantastic energy, and the food was nothing short of exceptional! Our server was attentive, guiding us through the menu and ensuring we had everything we needed. They made it a point to check on us every 10 minutes, which was nice because we wanted to try everything on the menu. The only downfall was that they only had cold sake, its good but I occasionally enjoy it warm. Besides that, everything else was delicious.

Fast service, food was good, kimchi fried rice was great. Lots of options. All you can eat was super affordable. Just be aware some of the premium cuts are based on number of people in your group. For example the ribeye we had was 1 per person. Other than that. It was a cute spot and servers were friendly and checked on us often

We arrived at Hwaro 2 around 10 PM and waited about an hour to get seated. We usually go to the other Hwaro location, but we like to switch it up since Hwaro 2 has some different food options we enjoy. What keeps us coming back is the quality of their meats and the corn cheese, which is always a favorite. This location, along with the original, is one of our go-to Korean BBQ spots. The inside is clean and well-kept, and the staff is always efficient. They bring out the food quickly and are great about changing the grill when needed.

I always come here for ayce Korean bbq. Service is good. Staffs is nice. Food is fresh and tasty

We decided to come in for our friends late birthday dinner. The restaurant was pretty busy for a Tuesday night, which is always a good sign. After a small wait, we were sat at a nice table that was preset with some side dishes. The service was okay, it really seemed like our server just didn't care. She checked up on us a few times, but consistently forgot some of our items. Unfortunately, the service is not something I'd return for. The food, on the other hand was really good. The brisket was really tender. The Hwaro sauce was the perfect pairing for the meat. They also had a nice selection of appetizers and side dishes too. I think my favorite was the Japchae. It had a really nice texture and great flavor as well. Don't know if I'd return, but definitely a good option for Kbbq!

We had dinner here with my in laws a few months back but forgot to make a review! It was really good and definitely makes top list of places to go for kbbq! Although I wish they didn't marinate the tomahawk in that sauce. I prefer it plain then dip it in whatever sauce we want

Amazing food and even better service jehsica! Everything came out fresh, fast, and full of flavor. The staff was super friendly and attentive from start to finish. Definitely coming back!

Hwaro one of our faves , good customer service with delicious foods... Relaxing environment to eat. We always come back here every week

We were in Las Vegas for my niece's 21st birthday. All weekend we had great food and Hwaro2 definitely kept the trend going. There was a small wait because of our larger party but once we sat down it was game on!!! All the meat was super fresh and delicious. We had all steak, tamahawk, ribeyes, skirt, etc, etc, etc. All very tasty. Sides were fresh, the hot soup was yummy and the steamed egg was on point. Even better was the service we received. I failed to get his name but the younger male server was on top of everything. He came back multiple times to check up on us and made sure we had everything we wanted. Thanks for making our first time experience a great one. We'll be back in town next month for another nephew's 21st and then again in December for yet another 21st birthday. There's so many great options away from the strip and Hwaro 2 is one of the must stops.

Were looking for a nice place for ACE korean bbq and found Hwaro 2. Good selection of meats, appetizer, sides and other prepared food. Servers were very attentive and fast. Love the choice of ice cream at the end. The lunch price is great for ACE !

Our family favorite korean bbq go to... service is good and friendly staff. Food is delicious as always. And the ambiance is good too.. not too loud music which i like.. I recommend this place to my friends everytime they want korean food.

Very busy on a weekend. We had a reservation and was seated on time. All parties must be present. Isiah our waiter was friendly and quick with service. Food was delicious as well. I highly recommend and will personally come back!

My friend and I were looking for Korean bbq place and we came to Hwaro.. honestly hands down best Korean bbq ever! The lunch special is $26.95 from open to 4pm and then the premium begins. Which is $34.95 per person from 4pm to close, with the premium you can literally choose anything off the menu! Out server very nice and attentive. They always made sure we were doing good and if we needed to order anything else. The place inside is well decorated and clean. I'd highly recommend trying this place out!

Hwaro is easily one of my top places for kbbq. They have great selection of appetizers and sides--shrimp tempura, tofu soup, padak, "the shit", japchae. They are my personal faves and they never miss. And of course, their iced coffee. The price is very reasonable, and the quality of the meats is always good--never had a bad cut. Their appetizers are good, their sauce is definitely one of the better ones out there, customer service is consistently great--fast and attentive, and the ambiance is super chill.

First time trying this restaurant. When the server brought us to the table, there were already a few side dishes placed there. I had no idea how long they'd been sitting out -- even if they're cold dishes, they're not going to stay fresh. So, I asked the waitress to replace them with fresh ones. The T-bone steak was also too salty. The steamed egg was not tender! The Gyoza was deep fry not pan fry.

Service: We ordered a drink, but it was never brought to our table until we had to ask another server. No one came to check on us or clear the empty dishes. We had to ask the busboy or busgirl to remove them ourselves.

Service was 5 star. Staff was attentive and on top of getting us orders. Food was good and overall great experience. My kids enjoyed the beef. Wasn't a huge fan of the fried chicken, but most other things were good.

We've been here multiple times and this will be our last time. All the staff is new but the service is terrible. our server jessica was short with us and seemed annoyed when we sent back food that was wrong. she was talking with the other server most of the time and barely came by to check on us which is a waste if you're eating ayce. regardless we came to celebrate my sisters birthday and i had told her but we were waiting a while and they eventually told us our time was up and they needed the table so we had to go. i wouldn't waste my time coming back especially not with jessica as your server, overall you'll have a better experience and get your money's worth at biwon

What a low cost but fantastic cuts for the all you can eat Korean BBQ. Our server Ivy was quick with our order and gave us a great experience here. For $35 each we were highly satisfied with the brisket, tomahawk steak, harami, and intestines. This place is really popular because there was 4 birthday celebrations while we were It was our first time here, we traveled clfrom California to visit family and we will definitely be back! :)

We've been coming here consistently for a few years and it's the best bang for your buck. Big menu, pretty quick service and servers are always friendly even though this place gets jam packed. Out of all the KBBQ places in Vegas, this is the one I would recommend the most!

Forgot to take food pics lollll but I came here last night after a long shift and everything was amazing. I remember last time, the service was ok, but, that didn't stop me from going here. I get off work pretty late so Hwaro is a good spot to eat at after getting off late night. I didn't order too much stuff but the thinly sliced pork belly, beef belly, brisket and beef tongue was good! A must with the salad especially to balance out the diet hahah. The server we had was really nice as well and took our orders accordingly. Always checked on us if we were doing ok, etc. Will be back here again!! Thanks so much

The price is affordable, food is great, customer service is great, the ambience is amazing.

Great selection of meat, seafood, appetizers; efficient service; and not too smoky! Ice cream cups were a perfect finish.

We love Hwaro 2 but disappointed they changed the dessert. They used to have the best affogato ice cream then it was changed to a mini cup of ice cream now it's mochi but it's not that great. A little disappointing.

Meats were amazing as well as appetizer options especially for the price. It does get busy towards dinner time but I'd say worth the wait.

Went last Saturday, they have a $29.95 all day special. The highlight of the meats was the bone in Ribeye steak (one piece per person) the rest of the meats were pretty much standard fare. They have a 90 minute time limit. Good value for the money. Would definitely dine here again.

The vibe, food, and service was amazing. There were so many options with the sides and the cuts of meat. We were celebrating my husband's bday and they gave him a nice dessert and turned the restaurant into a brief disco party, so safe to say the service was great Since the place gets busy, I highly recommend getting on the wait-list.

One of my favorite spots in town for AYCE kbbq. It does get really busy so I recommend getting there early to join the waitlist. The parking is also a bit limited so prepare to circle around if it's the weekend. The menu is full of various meats, apps and now even sushi too. It's an awesome spot of a date night or for groups too. I always leave full & satisfied.

Love this location compared to Hwaro off of spring mountain, it is not so cramped to get in & out of the parking lot. Came here on a Monday night with my family 6 adults & 4 kids & we are frequent KBBQ eaters. The staff is nice, friendly & attentive. Our meats & food came out quick along with the picking up of dishes. We liked the fact that they leave their Hwaro sauce on the table instead of us having to ask for more at other places. The ambiance is typical, you definitely walk our smelling like KBBQ but we enjoy the decoration, bottles, trees & the music! They also do a quick little birthday Our favorites were brisket, beef belly (yum!) & the pork cheek. We also ordered, red wine pork belly, mussels, harami miso, beef tongue steamed eggs & a few appetizers. Definitely would call ahead to see if you can get on the waiting list, we got there & then we're waiting on their list & probably waited about an hour but that was to be expected.

Shrimp was terrible!! Had no flavor and the server Jessica attempt to force my family to eat it even though we did not like it. I told her we did not like it and she said you shouldn't have ordered it. They also almost ruined my son's birthday. They did not let us cut his cake.

I love this location! They have so many meat options, everything is always fresh and good. Their customer service is always top tier when I come, even with a long wait time they're very attentive to their customers. I will say it's WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

Hwaro is always a go to place when I have friends in town. It's always a solid place with lots of options. Favorites include: red wine pork belly, hwaro rice, and hwaro steak. Pro tip: The ability to check in on yelp is fire as the wait is typically an hour or longer. Today we had Christine was the sweetest.

I would come here everyday if I could. I can't get enough of their sauce. Something about it has me talking about it to people who haven't been there yet lol. Service is good, ambiance is nice and dim how I like it. Price is right where it should be. Highly recommended!

Hwaro 2 is located a few steps from 888 Japanese grill and is an excellent alternative if the line at 888 gets ridiculous. It is definitely worth spending the extra $4 to get the premium options, which adds one order of marinated king kalbi, premium steak, and tomahawk steak per person. Banchan consisted of standard napa kimchi, cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi, fishcake, and potato salad. Service was good, they came by often to change out the dirty grill. When we ate there, it was day time with no wait, and they did not strictly enforced the time limit. Meat quality was good, but as expected, not quite the same level as a la carte places.

food is amazing! this is my favorite KBBQ! i was 20 minutes late and the hostess was aboe to seat me right away. thank you

Hands down best server in all of Vegas... Noel!! Must visit. Good quality meat and best AYCE Kbbq and drinks. Long wait but worth it!

My 3 star rating is based on food quality. The service here is top notch. Since Hwaro KBBQ changed locations I've noticed the meat quality has changed for the worse. I'm sad to say this and I do understand food cost is extremely high esp with inflation. Times have changed.

The food was great, hard to find quality kbbq under $30 these days. Not to mention the great service from Isaiah & Noel.

Great service, delicious food and love that you can eat "premium" meats like tomahawk... we usually start with 1 or 2 "premium" meats before ordering anything else because the first time we ever went we were too full to get the fancier meats. Nice ambiance

Best KBBQ in the city! No one does it like Hwaro sides and meat selection is phenomenal!!!! Kyle was my server he was super sweet and attentive. I recommend the brisket and beef flank my personal favorites. First time trying the soju mojitos and they were so refreshing and yummy!!! Great addition to the menu

Delicious food, amazing meat options, ambiance is very aesthetic to the cuisine and culture. Service is really good!

The Premium is the way to go! (By the way A.Y.C.E. Stands for All You Can Eat. That was for all of the visitors in town!) You get 90 minutes and GO! You order 3 pieces of protein, per person, at a time and they bring it to you. You cook what needs to be cooked on a table grill. There are options for soups, sushi rolls, and more. The Salmon and tuna were delicious. You can have unlimited bowls of rice, kimchi, and other toppings brought to your table as well. One desert per person is also included. What a great place to eat and talk. Well worth the price for what you get!

Food was great & the service was fast however we felt rushed the entire time. My friend and I had not seen each other in a while and the server did not seem like she was having a good day & rushed us the entire time. I've never had a bad experience here but this time definitely made it hard to come back.
