Hwaro 1 AYCE KBBQ & SUSHI

Hwaro 1 is easily in my top three Korean BBQ spots. Every time I go, it’s the same experience — delicious, consistent, and high quality across the board. The meats are always fresh and well-marinated. Whether you’re going for brisket, short rib, bulgogi, or other cuts, everything cooks up flavorful and tender. You can tell they pay attention to quality control because it’s consistently good every visit. The sides and menu variety are solid too. From the banchan to the appetizers and soups, everything complements the grilled meats well. Nothing feels like an afterthought — it’s a well-rounded Korean BBQ experience. Overall, this place checks all the boxes: flavor, consistency, and quality. Definitely one of my top Korean BBQ restaurants and a spot I confidently recommend when someone’s craving KBBQ.

The overall meal was absolutely horrible, I think it might be the worst ever. The kimchi was stale. How do you make kimchi stale it's fermented? Lol. The only bright spot was our server. Im sorry that this is going to point at him. The meat was "ALL" not fresh. This was bad bad bad. I would be willing to try it again if they wanted to invite me but I doubt they will lol. OH and one more thing, we are in 2026, how is a business open to the public not wheelchair accessible??

I just gotta say AMAZING!! Everything was really good. Great service, great food, great presentation. Everybody in this restaurant is so kind and nice. Our server Joseph is really really good. Definitely our new favorite restaurant in Vegas.

The server was great! Derek came quickly and made sure everything went smoothly. The food arrived fast, and everything we ordered was solid — pork belly, beef tongue, shrimp, fresh tuna and salmon rolls, avocado, and even dessert. Great value too — we spent under $60 for two people. If you're looking for a tasty, not-too-busy lunchtime spot, this place is definitely worth a visit.

The quality of the cuts were excellent and the service staff were courteous and attentive. If you go there on a weekend, be aware that they only offer the "Premium AYCE" regardless of the time of day. They also charge an extra 3% if you use a credit card. This is becoming more common among restaurants. I don't like it all. Seems the cc charge for the owners is part of doing business. For 3 of us, the check was $145.

Walked in and didn't know they renovated! It's been a while since I came here but loved the new look. Menu been upgraded too as they added sushi and more selections. Price went up a bit, but that's expected with renovations and such. We waited less than 30 minutes to get seated, which is fast for a Saturday night. The service was great. Everything came out in a timely matter, and the employees were fast in clearing out any dishes. Never had any problems with anything. Great experience and will be back again.

You just aren't going to find a better value for more delicious Korean BBQ. Plain and simple. This is my favorite not just in Vegas, but ever! This is the meal I look forward to the most every time I visit Vegas. A lot has changed here over the years. The menu, the ambience, all of it. But despite the fact that I didn't think it could get any better, it somehow seems to keep getting better. Most of the menu changes have been great, but with ONE CAVEAT. Bring back the honey mustard karaage!

Meat selection is plentyful and are well prepared. Service was excellent didn't have to much for someone to ask what we wanted next.

I'm still thinking about this place because WOW. Hwaro seriously knocked it out of the park. From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable, legit hands down some of the best service I've ever had. They changed our grill like 3x for us, checked in constantly, and the food came out quick. And this was on a busy Saturday night, with no wait! Unreal. Let's talk food because everything was amazing. My absolute favorites were the, Ribeye Bulgogi, (so tender, so flavorful) and the brisket, which was seriously soooo good too. PLEASE do not skip dessert--their Yuzu Sorbet, is a MUST TRY! It's refreshing, perfectly tart, and the perfect way to end a BBQ feast. Another must-try is their EDO sushi roll, YEP I said it they have sushi included in the $34 PREMIUM menu. Omg their green tea, tasted so authentic! They do have popular items like corn cheese, radish wraps, and affogato but just to note, they don't have other popular Korean bbq sides like fish cakes, rice wraps, or melon bars/mochi desserts. Honestly though... who needs all that when the food here is already insanely good? On top of all that, the restaurant itself is beautiful. The interior is modern and cozy with big booth seating, which makes it feel more private and comfortable. When you sit down, all the sauces and ICED water are right there on the table! Overall, amazing food, lightning-fast service, gorgeous space, and an experience that made me want to come back immediately. I can't wait to go back. Hwaro is the place.

Well now, I'll start with the good luck, because there's plenty of it. The food here is excellent, genuinely top-tier meats and sushi for an AYCE place. The lunch special and the late-night special are especially kind to the wallet, the sort of pricing that makes you feel like you've found a pot of gold. I've never once had to wait for a table either, just stroll right in and sit. Service varies by who's minding the table. Some servers are absolute treasures, quick, attentive, and on top of things. Others are decent enough, nothing to complain about, but nothing to write songs about either. The space itself is small and cozy, a snug little spot that feels intentional rather than cramped. But now for the unlucky charms. The front door is absurdly heavy, the kind that makes you wrestle with it like it's testing your worthiness to enter. The parking lot often has homeless individuals around, which can feel uncomfortable, especially later in the day. The biggest issue, though, is safety. When they swap out grill tops, staff carry them across the floor without a container, dripping oil everywhere. The floor turns slick fast. They've put down rugs, which help, but step off them and it's like walking on pure ice. I use a cane, and on the bare floor it slips so badly it's almost useless unless I'm standing on a rug. They also serve drinks in plastic cups and use plastic forks and spoons, with wooden chopsticks. It feels oddly cheap considering how good the food actually is. In the end, the food and prices keep pulling me back like good luck I can't ignore, but the safety and accessibility issues are real and deserve attention.

Last time I been here. Was before the renovation. Wheel it looked smaller and crowded. So let's start with the renovation. 5 out of 5. Love the new setup. Booths are more comfortable. Their is no big bench style tables in the middle. Replaced with more traditional style tables/booths. So the food is 4 out of 5. My favorite used to be the shake rice. Prepared in a metal tin. You shake it then open and eat it. Then I find out it's only available at hwaro2. But why? This is where it originated from! Also the portions have gotten way smaller than I remember or compared to some other places. Ordered beef belly and got like 5 slices. So make sure you order according. Service was 3 out of 5. 80% of my dine-in the single server seemed to be extremely busy but with only 4 tables. Then it seemed to be short change. And the new short asian guy was checking up on us every 5-10min. Refilled drinks. Took away our empty plates even before the busser got around to us. When our cooking plate looked like it was about to get burned. He said "let me change it out before your next wave of meat shows up". Little things like that go a long way

The food was amazing! You get 2 of both worlds: Korean and Japanese, I love how they offer fillet mignon in the menu. I didn't get to take more pictures as we were all excited to eat. Pricing is not too bad for the premium. The place is a bit tight for a big party of 8 or more. They have mostly booth and 1 grill per table. The bathroom needs more attention. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back again!

4.5 STARS Date: Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 Time: around 12:15am Party of 5 Meal: Dinner *Premium ($34.95) x5 *Peach Soju ($12) *Sapporo Large ($8) *Coke ($2.75) x2 We got a little carried away gambling back on the strip. Luckily Hwaro closes late on a Monday night, so we were able to make dinner. We wanted KBBQ, so this seemed as good a place as any. Kalbi was on our minds and boy did we indulge. Love that you are not limited to only x amount of orders per table or person. One in our party ate like 10+ slices if memory serves. I tried to sample all the meats on the premium side cuz that's why I was here. I actually enjoyed the pork selections more - soy honey comb pork toro, premium sliced pork toro, kurobuta pork steak, hwaro pork kalbi. Seemed more like dishes that aren't typically offered at korean bbq spots. Tho we didn't pass up the beef either - premium angus ny strip, premium ribeye steak, yakiniku ribeye steak, filet mignon, beef skirt steak. The rest of the premium menu consisted of sushi / fish dishes which I skipped. On the reg side of the AYCE korean barbecue menu, they had the usuals I always get - la kalbi, beef tongue, pork cheek, etc. I adore wraps, so I'm glad there was garlic, sliced jalapeno, ssamjang, lettuce wraps, radish wraps, napa kimchi, jalapeno radish kimchi. All that was missing was sesame leaves to make it the perfect wrap! Service was great! They were attentive and informative. We knew they were closing soon so they kept us aware of when last call was so we could order accordingly. Would definitely come here again. Just earlier so we don't have to rush as much. For the price, you get a good amount of selection. REVIEW #3813

Decided to drop in for their lunch menu which had so many great sides, appetizers, and bbq meat selections oh which also incudes fresh sushi. As soon as the food started rolling out everything just got better and better. Highlights were the miso soup, cucumber kimchi, emporers kalbi which is boneless, and the affogato for dessert. Nothing short of amazing was our servers who checked on us frequently and were so sweet and attentive. I'm sure this place gets packed on weekends and dinner time, I'm definitely coming back and would 10/10 recommend.

I came here to celebrate a friends bday. We made a reservation for a party of 12 and were seated shortly after we arrived. However they didn't have a table that could accommodate all of us so we sat on two tables next to each other but it was pretty cramped for 6 ppl per table since the booths were small. We didn't have much space for the dishes that were coming. Our servers were pretty attentive and food came out fast. I would say my favorite cuts from the menu (we got the dinner so it was the premium) were the filet mignon, Yaniku, skirt steak, and beef tongue (reg menu). Everything was pretty tender. The brisket was a bit too fatty for my preference. Although we could only order things on the premium menus once per person, the portion was rly large that it got us all full! I would say to stick to the meats for this place since the sushi/carpaccios were okay. I don't think they were super fresh but they weren't horrible either. Overall I did enjoy their food a lot compared to other places I've tried. The salad dressing is good as well as the mushroom fries which I thought were super unique!! It was also rly nice of them to do a little bday surprise at the end for my friend!

We come here a lot. I just need to do a more thorough review of it because this trip we got almost all of the premium items. especially the meats and the carpaccio. And usually we go at lunch but today we went around 6pm since I was working graveyard. It was already packed a little so there are more customers at night than at lunch. But service was still relatively fast. Derek was our server and he is very attentive to the timing of grill changes and when to come get a new order instead of asking every 5 minutes or so. He's also a lot of fun to talk to and joke around with. The premium meats are very tender. I highly recommend if you eat here, get them. they don't take particularly long to cook, especially the NY strip which was cut really thin so it was easy to keep it from being overcooked and tough. it was very tender. and so were the other meats. the filet mignon is always small cut in cubes. so, even if it is something you get at the end, which I did for the rest of the premium meats, i could still finish it. The carpaccios have a very deep flavor to them and the garnishes and sauce they use balance it out very well. The flavors don't overpower each other and my favorite is the salmon carpaccio. The nigiri are very lightly treated, with a small bit of rice, which is good because it won't fill you up and you can eat the other foods on the menu as well. One thing I always do is mix the corn cheese with rice. it's a good blend of textures and flavors, and the rice is soft so mixing it is really easy. Just a personal preference and I recommend at least a try of it. During dinner it is a little louder because it's packed but usually if it's lunch it's quieter and the beauty is that service wasn't affected even though it was packed. we still got our meats in a timely manner and there wasn't a long wait between food. I highly recommend this place if you are a resident and even a tourist and want a good experience in korean bbq. Usually there is no last call if it isn't packed. we never got a last call all the times we came for lunch but this time we did because there were parties waiting outside the main door.

This place is great! They have awesome appetizers and sesame salad and a little bit of sushi. Most awesome thing is the lunch price is 27$ and you get bbq, a hot pot, and sushi. That's a steal for me! I feel like the tables/booths is very small. There's not very many tables and it gets kind of loud. The food come out fast and the meat is fairly good. I think the pork belly wasn't that great bit the beef belly was awesome. They have ssamjang but they don't have steamed egg! That was my only disappointment. I loved the octopus and the thin sliced pork belly. What is phenomenal is that with this lunch price you get two kinds of kalbi! That's just super! My servers kept my water refilled and came around a lot to ask if I needed something. I would definitely come again for lunch!

SO MUCH BETTER than your average kbbq spot!! Premium cuts of meat, quality soups, flavorful kbbq sides, and solid sushi rolls... I am that much more sad to leave Vegas and not be able to eat here. This was our last meal on the way out of Vegas and we all needed some nutritious, soothing comfort food and Hwaro for sure satisfied it all. I highly recommend the Nabe Hotpot if you're looking for a comforting clear broth to cure your hangover! Not only was the food top tier in quality and pricing, but we were also thankful for the attentive and gracious service from our host. The plaza was also easy to access and had plenty of parking at lunch time.

great food, had a great time with my friends, the atmosphere was amazing and our server was great.

I usually don't change restaurants often, but today I decided to give Hwaro another chance after not coming here for a very long time. Unfortunately, this experience really ruined what had been a great day for me. it ended with a very disappointing dinner. From the moment I walked in, things felt off. A staff member led me to my table without greeting me at all, simply dropped the menu, and walked away without asking anything or offering any recommendations. When the food arrived, the taste was okay. nothing special, but edible. What truly made the experience uncomfortable was the atmosphere. It felt like everyone working there was irritated or upset. Dishes were being thrown around loudly, and it was very unpleasant. In particular, the female server assigned to our table looked extremely frustrated. She cleared our dishes aggressively and even threw plates right in front of me. She also kept walking around holding her phone. Maybe she was having a bad day, but it really affected the dining experience. However, I do want to give credit to one of her coworkers. She was smiling all night and treated us kindly. If it weren't for him, this night would have felt even worse. Overall, I'm really disappointed. I regret choosing this place instead of going to my favorite restaurant tonight. The atmosphere and service were very poor, and I don't think I will be coming back. I hope the management takes this seriously and improves both service and attitude in the future.

Outstanding service. Wanted to take this time to acknowledge Joshua on behalf of his attentive and quick service. Always checked up on us and made sure everything was perfect. Very satisfied. Thanks Joshua!

Good food and good experience. Price was right and our family had a good time. we will be back.

Still one of our go-to KBBQ spots after all these years. I have a good list of some of my favs, and hwaro and hwaro 2 are still on the list. Although the location can be tough to park in because of the many amazing restaurants in the area, we still like to come here for some good KBBQ. My husband and I, as well as my friends and I have come here often to have some good kbbq when we're craving or in the mood. They have a variety of options for meat and seafood, as well as banchan and other appetizers and side dishes. Their menu consists of different specialty meats which you can order at a higher AYCE price point, but I think is well worth it. The service is friendly and quite fast, noticing and offering grill changes when necessary, and constantly walking around to take your order. The space itself is medium sized and clean, which is good! I haven't had to wait too long to be seated :) overall, good standard kbbq that I can rely on when craving kbbq.

Stopped in for the late night special after 10pm and it was awesome! The service was really great and the food was delicious! I love this space, they did so good with the new remodel too! Will be back for the night special!

The food is excellent and delicious assortment of options to choose from. I especially enjoyed the dessert. The service was prompt, courteous, and willing to help out in any of my needs. The surrounding dining room is pretty quaint and simple. Being a recurring guest at Las Vegas, I'm willing to return to Hwaro whenever I'm in town!

Came to Hwaro 1 late at night with friends and had such a wonderful experience. Even though it was already late, the staff welcomed us with smiles and never made us feel rushed. Everyone was very kind, attentive, and accommodating, which really made the night enjoyable. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, perfect for catching up with friends. The food was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared, and everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. Overall, it was a great late-night dining experience with amazing service and good vibes all around. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Korean BBQ and sushi are at this spot in Chinatown Las Vegas named Hwaro. This was my first time here and this was the first meal we had when I got into Vegas. We picked this place because the restaurant was open until 2:00 am. When we walked in at 12 we were seated right away and the place still had people inside enjoying a meal. The service was super quick and fast. This is an AYCE spot so you can order as much as you guys want but in a time frame of 90 mins. We tried their sushi items as well and considered them to be quite decent for an AYCE spot. The only thing I would say is some of the beef items that were seasoned with some type of sauce tasted a little bit off on flavor. Have room for dessert because the coffee affogato was not bad.

Brought our out of town fam here this past week! No regrets at all! Wait time was awhile for 12 people but so worth the wait! Love that there's sushi Incase you don't feel like eating kbbq! Can't wait to be back

I'm from California I came twice here in the month of July! 2nd visit overall experience 5/5 Food selection 5/5 Quality 5/5 Service 5/5 Portion 5/5 Wait time 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 You guys did it again! For the price, what a steal One of my kids was $9.99 one was like 14.99 or something Kids ate fries and Tonkutsu ramen and some premium grilled meats I ate a whole lotta sushi salads carpaccio hand rolls tempuras premium grilled meats radish sheets you know what is really good, the smaller portions and they can offer you half portion rolls just tell them. Sushi small pieces allows me to try more new items , just keep discovering more cool items here. I still have not tried it all.. slipped all pork all seafood and chicken to grill. Sigh no room lol Wife was also impressed of their tender skirt steaks and the filet mignon today these two meats indeed stood out! By a lot. Just melts in your mouth meats. The ribeye and New York were ok. It's good. But not as good as the first two mentioned above. Still a must try, seriously my family is very selective on new things and they even tried the Hwaro sauce and agree with me it's 10/5! I would totally buy a bottle if that sauce was sold in the market. Both my kids said thumbs up here and it tasted delish. The ramen we ordered it plain with soup and noodles because of the kids taste buds, I tried some broth, a bit salty. But it was good flavor ! Noodles are good the curly kind My dessert was a hit too! Coffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to end the meal, wow. The kids got chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream. I told "Danny the Medic" to come review here on his Youtube channel. Not sure if he will! But it's loud inside so it can be tricky. I wish you guys have a location in California. Wait do you? I'm gonna check!

Clean, well-ventilated, and good quality meats! Our server, Beatriz, was attentive with changing out our grills and taking our order for more food. There is a wide variety of meats on the menu for one set price. A lot of sides and appetizers and even sushi. My favorite is the emperor's kalbi. I especially like that the seats feel less cramped than most kbbq places. This will be our go-to spot.

We didn't have much of a wait to be seated but the wait time for meat ordered was crazy two couples came and left and we were still waiting???They only give me a certain amount of time to eat, but we waited more time waiting for food to come to our table then we did eating anything not very acceptable. Then one of our waiters was itching so bad he has hives all over his face and arms. Not a good feeling when you're out at a restaurant Very disappointing! I won't give this location another chance

Came in late evening and was quoted a 30 minute wait time. The place was absolutely packed. Completely worth the wait. Princess sat us and Derek help take our order. Both were so professional and created a fun atmosphere. Derek offered many recommendations. We ordered edamame, miso soup and the sh*t to start. We had the yakiniku ribeye, soy honey pork toro, brisket, and bulgolgi for bbq. Sushi we had the orange blossom roll, garlic salmon and tuna. Everything was super fresh and seasoned/marinated excellently. Will definitely have to make our way back here.

Went here with friends on a Saturday and WOW .. everything about this place exceeded expectations. They were serving their premium meats, and let me tell you... every bite was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was a vibe as well. It was a modern vibe that made us want to stay for hours. The staff was super attentive and made sure our grill was always taken care of. They explained the cuts and even gave recommendations on what to cook first. If you're looking for a spot with great quality meat, solid service, and a fun group dining experience, this is it. Perfect for a weekend hangout or a special treat. Will 100% be coming back!

It has been years since I visited this Hwaro (there is a Hwaro 2) in which their offerings have changed significantly ever since. Per their staff, they wanted to pivot towards a Japanese style offering versus Korean. Service: Made a reservation via Yelp for my family of 4. Arrived at the location when we were 3rd on the queue; called within 10 minutes. Pleasantly greeted upon entry and upon seating. Wait staff was nice and helpful. 5 of 5 stars Food/Offering: Arrived early dinner and was offered only one dining option: $33.95. We settled for the usual like the Wheel of Fortune bonus round (RSTLN E) which was bulgogi, pork belly, brisket, short rib. There were some limit 1 per person options on the menu which we ordered from as well. Usual sides you see at a KBBQ place like rice paper, kim chi, seaweed salad, etc are not offered. The food turnover during the reorder was very fast. Water refill was on point. Yuzu sorbet was tart and helped offset the grill taste in my mouth. 5 of 5 stars Overall: The place is bigger than most bbq spots that I've been to and ventilation (which matters to me) was very good; didn't smell too much like bbq upon leaving. Only gripe I have is that I'm not a fan of the 18% automatic tip for my party of just 4. For this visit, I'm ok with the 18% (probably worth 20%) but for me as a consumer, I would like to have more control of the bill. Nevertheless, I still highly recommend this place when in Vegas.

We've been coming here for the past few years, and it's always a must on our list whenever we're in town. Hands down, this is one of the best KBBQ spots we've ever been to. Every time we're here, it's busy - from the packed parking lot to the queue outside - but they still manage to provide exceptional service. The staff is always attentive and friendl. Inside is quite spacious and could definitely accommodate larger parties The price point, meat quality, and AYCE option make it all totally worth it!

Haven't been back since they remodeled this location. We always go to Hwaro 2. So glad my husband & I decided to try it out again. Let me say, it did not disappoint. Came around 12pm on a Monday & it wasn't busy considering it was lunch time. Our service was great provided by Chi. She was pleasant & very attentive to us. Really enjoyed her services as we didn't feel rushed or a bother (which sometimes some KBBQ places make us feel that way). The restaurant was very nice, clean & modern. We couldn't get over how different it looked & we're in awe. The food was great! Perfect cuts of meat & portions. Can't say enough good things about this visit & we already can't wait to go back! The dessert also topped us off at the end! Thank you Hwaro & Chi!

First time coming here after the remodel (10/27/2025). The place looks great much more spacious than before! The old location felt pretty small and tight inside, so this is a nice upgrade. The food was good, though not the best. The brisket had too much fat and barely any meat, and some of the meat that came out was very low quality..so the quality could be better. The sushi, however, was pretty good. Customer service was great our server was very attentive, and the food came out on time. Would I come back? Hmm, probably not. Overall, it was a good experience, and if it's your first time, I'd say it's worth trying at least once.

Confusing that there are two Hwaro locations in close proximity. Both are AYCE but with different pricing and options. This one offers sushi and better meat options. Quick service, friendly and attentive staff, food was good. Grill took a while to cook, and grill was changed out once.

Very good but didn't realize this is a Japanese bbq spot so they have some different sides and options. The sushi was yummy!

People wanted all u can eat and found this place. So we're here and there's plenty of parking outside. Walking in you here music playing and we were takin to our seats. You order the meat and food you want....then cook it yourself. Ordered Katsu , kalbi, beef brisket, and other stuff I have no clue what I'm eating. Food was good and we ordered a lot off the menu. Sorry I can't tell you everything I ate....i was just eating it off the grill....if your in the area swing by.

I love this place been many times, but not sure why gratuity was on a party of 4..... service was good even tho it felt like I didn't know who was our actual server and they sent out dessert without asking.

BBQ and sushi, all-you-can-eat?! What?! And they're open until 2 AM?! Amazing! We went around 10 PM on Friday. There was a wait, but it wasn't too bad, and it was totally worth it. The value for what we paid was incredible, and the quality of the meat and sushi was top-notch! I really wish this place existed in the Bay Area (although it probably couldn't due to the price being much higher). All four of us were starving, and we had a fantastic time just eating nonstop. It was so good--nothing else to say except, go try it, you won't regret it!!!

Absolutely amazing!!! Everything!!!!! Service, ambiance, food, everything!!! I highly recommend it especially for date night, casual chilled night.

Hwaro is my go-to for Korean BBQ. Both locations are consistently great, with high quality cuts of meat that are my favorite. I'm always comparing their corn cheese and "the shit" to other places because Hwaro's is one of the better options in my opinion. We waited about 45 minutes after arriving at 9 pm, which is pretty standard, and always worth it. I love ending the meal with an affogato. The staff is kind, attentive, and always checks in to make sure everything's good. Inside is always clean and nice!

Great options on the menu for a very fair price especially for an AYCE! Food was great, servers were very friendly and the spot overall has a really nice aesthetic to it!

We ended up at Hwaro after ditching 888 Japanese BBQ because of their 4-hour wait. At first, I thought we lucked out with the quick seating... until the fine aroma of raw sewage hit us right in the face. Nothing says "bon appétit" like feeling like you're eating next to a busted sewer line. We still tried to give it a shot and ordered some meats, but wow--talk about flavorless. No marinade, no seasoning, just sad, bland meat sizzling away. Honestly, chewing cardboard might've had more taste. For a BBQ spot, that's pretty impressive in the worst way possible. Between the sewage air freshener and the meats that made saltines taste gourmet, we waved the white flag, told the waiter, and left. 10/10 would not recommend--unless you're into Eau de Sewer and mystery-flavored beef. moral of the story: just wait the 4hours because 888 japanese bbq is beyond amazing!

Hwaro is an AYCE KBBQ in Las Vegas. The meats started out delicious for the Premium and then as the night went on the meat just started to lower in quality. Would definitely just multiple order the top 4 meats. The Galbi was too fatty for me. The sides and cooked food were tasty. Do not sleep on the Hwaro sauce and potstickers. Well fed and happy.

Meat was okay nothing special compared to any Korean bbq in Las Vegas. They were under staffed and super slow getting the orders and for the orders to come out. It was okay but I would not go back. There are far better k bbq in town.

Went to Hwaro for the first time in forever, and never disappoint us at all everytime we go here. The modern look is very nice and sleek, gives a very nice and comfy vibe. The service was top tier as expected, shoutout to Josh for taking care of us and making our return a great one. Food was simple and great, they got all the essentials needed for KBBQ and more for those who might some extra tastes. Overall a fantastic experience, always great to come and dine at our fav spot.

Food is good, but we got charge a grat because theres 5 of us... 3 adults and 2 toddlers. Mind u toddlers are 3 and 2years old., is that normal!!? And they just ate rice and a little bit of fries coz they are kids.. Im just disappointed and scared now to eat here

Other bbq places I've been to usually lack attention when it comes to changing the grill, taking empty plates from table, or taking more orders for meats. However, our server Joseph and the rest of the crew were different. Everyone was attentive and would take empty plates away keeping the table clean and clear so we could enjoy our meal. The food was great for the price and the menu was extensive, offering many options to choose from including sushi rolls, soups, and even deserts. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in the Vegas area.

I had the pleasure to visit this all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue spot in Chinatown, Las Vegas It was phenomenal! The premium meats were incredibly delicious, and the variety ensured there was something for everyone. The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared, adding a wonderful variety to the meal. The Soju cocktails were amazing too, perfectly complementing the flavors of the food. The ambiance was lively and Chieko and her staff were attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

THE BEST! The servers were very polite and were always prepared to take our new orders. They were very fast with the food. They even changed our grill multiple times. The food is amazing, the steak very tasty and sushi excellent!

I had a wonderful night out at HWARO for their late night special that was about $30 bucks all you can eat! The chicken, shrimp, and all steaks options were good. I really liked the cheese corn & garlic butter. The coffee ice cream was the high light of the evening. Quick service & constantly checking on you.

Fantastic and quick service, shoutout to Joshua for his attentive service. Always had food ready to cook and available, left super full and satisfied. Will always be back for our go to spot.

I had horrible service here, our grill wasn't working at all we were there for 30 mins after the waiter said he was going to give us a discount for having us there with a broken grill waiting for 30 mins and nothing and after we got moved to a different one he only came once and never again. I had to stand up and ask someone for more food, also some of the food tasted old for some reason but I will definitely not come here anymore. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone not even my worst enemy

WALK IN OR RESERVATION NEEDED: This spot is first-come, first-served -- they do not take reservations, which is typical for many AYCE Korean BBQ places. Expect a wait, especially on weekends or after 7PM. We arrived around 6:15PM on a Saturday and had a 25-minute wait, which actually moved pretty quickly thanks to a steady flow of turnover. Tip: arrive early for faster seating and the best meat quality. LOCATION/PARKING: Hwaro 1 is tucked into a busy strip mall on Spring Mountain Road, in the heart of Las Vegas' Chinatown district. Parking is ample and free, but can fill up quickly during dinner rush -- you may end up circling the lot once or twice. The area is well-lit and felt safe, even when we left past 9PM. AMBIANCE / CLEANLINESS: The restaurant has a lively, bustling vibe with tables packed close together, sizzling grills, and plenty of chatter. It's definitely more casual and social than quiet or romantic. Decor is minimal but comfortable -- expect stainless steel grills, wooden tables, and big exhaust hoods overhead. Cleanliness was solid: tables were wiped promptly, tongs and scissors brought fresh, and floors reasonably tidy despite the crowd. Bathrooms were decently maintained, though could use a little more attention later in the evening. EMPLOYEES: The staff was friendly, efficient, and surprisingly attentive given how packed it was. Our server checked in often to swap out grills, brought refills without being asked, and made sure we had enough sauces and sides. When we ordered more meat, it came out quickly. The team also did a great job explaining the cuts to newcomers at the next table -- nice touch. MENU: It's an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) format with options that include both Korean BBQ meats and a pretty big sushi/appetizer lineup. The menu breaks down into: Beef: brisket, ribeye, skirt, marinated galbi (short rib) Pork & Chicken: samgyeopsal (pork belly), spicy pork, garlic chicken Seafood & more: shrimp, squid, plus side dishes like japchae, steamed egg, kimchi pancakes Sushi rolls: tiger roll, volcano roll, salmon & tuna selections Also included were steamed potstickers and bulgogi fries -- both unexpected standouts. They do enforce leftover fees, so order responsibly. DRINK(s)//FOOD(s)//SHOW(s): We had an assortment of meats -- the brisket was sliced beautifully thin, cooked in seconds, while the marinated galbi was hands-down our favorite, sweet and caramelized with a nice char. The pork belly was rich and paired perfectly with the fresh lettuce wraps and house-made ssamjang. For sides, the potstickers were crispy and juicy, and the soft steamed egg was fluffy, soaking up the sauce wonderfully. The sushi rolls were decent -- not the reason to come, but nice as a palate break between meats. Drinks were standard: soju bottles, Korean beers, plus sodas. We skipped dessert, though they do offer soft serve. OVERALL EXPERIENCE [Rating 5/5]: 5/5 for a fun, social, late-night Korean BBQ feast. While it's not a luxurious dining experience, it absolutely nails the AYCE KBBQ concept: high-energy, solid quality meats (especially early in service), fast refills, and friendly staff who keep things running smoothly. The appetizers and sauces alone make it stand out from competitors. It's the kind of place you come with friends to laugh, grill, and maybe stumble out after one too many soju shots -- exactly what you want from a spot like this.
