There was a 30 min wait on a Wed night. But it's totally worth it.
Their food is outstanding.
We had tofu as a starter and it was like a souffle in texture and with amazing sauce, which turned it in a total delicacy.
We also chose pork belly which we couldn't stop eating. And the crispy shrimp pan cake was really good too.
Small sides were delicious as well. Kimchi is unforgettable.
And I had an old fashioned cocktail which had interesting tubes due to non-traditional soju as the base.
Our server was very attentive and thoughtful

On a recent spontaneous trip to New York to catch a Sunday performance, I found myself at 'Her Name is Han' in K-Town, eager for some comfort food. Although they were serving their brunch menu, it seemed perfect for my cravings.

I began with a terra beer and selected a few small plates. The fried cod accompanied by Maesaegi tartar sauce was reminiscent of an Asian twist on fish and chips - absolutely delightful. Their boiled pork dumplings were a succulent treat: soft, juicy, and bursting with flavor. However, the standout dish was the black sesame tofu paired with fried parsnip and beet. The sweet, savory, and nutty sesame flavor complementing the soft tofu was a refreshing experience.

Additionally, I opted for a brunch set which included three banchan, soup, salad, deep-fried boiled egg, kimchi, potato salad, and rice. Every side dish was a treat, but the beef bulgogi set truly shone. The fire-grilled, thinly sliced marinated rib eye had the essence of a smashed patty and paired wonderfully with rice, making for a wholesome and comforting meal.

I knew this place from running by from Instagram and it did really good. Amazing taste with a touch of sophisticated details that they put an effort on the dish.

I haven’t ordered slow cook pork belly but I saw from others table and it look so yummy.

Lunch set come with a proper portion for one person to get full.
Staffs service is amazing.
Highly recommended to make a reservation even me I came around 1pm, it is still crowded.

Got the pork kimchi stew and garlic roasted chicken.

Stew is easily a 5/5 and portioned very well for 2 people to share.

Garlic roasted chicken...it's good but I found it too sweet. Also the portion is comically small (maybe around 6oz of chicken thighs?) , basically the size of my palm.

Restaurant was absolutely packed but opted for take out instead.

Fantastic Korean comfort food! I went to the restaurant after a few happy hour drinks and needed some comfort food to cleanse my soul. The food did not disappoint. The bibimbap was huge and hit all the right places. The staff was friend and attentive. Highly recommend the place. I will come back for the hot pot as every table has one.

Came with a few friends, had a great time! The pork belly was very yummy and soft, amazing texture! Side dishes were also very tasty!! The seafood pancake was also good and had a nice crispiness to it. Also enjoyed the seafood soup. Overall everything was very tasty and comforting, would definitely come back and recommend to anyone

Excellent portions for price. Can definitely do one shared hotpot amongst two people. The rice cake, fish cake, noodles with assorted seafood and vegetables in spicy veggie broth was spectacular. Lots of ingredients with a delicious (sweeter than spicy) and deeply flavored broth. Service is great, no qualms about it. Great atmosphere. Very full restaurant.

Enjoyable dinner with the fam, not too long of a wait. Flavor and service was great. Shout out to the waiter who charged my phone for me. The corn croquettes were unreal!! My favorite. The stew was enough to feed 4 honestly.
