Hansang Korean Restaurant

Better experience after a long hiatus from going back. Last time I remember the place was slightly run down, and my fave mackerel fish wasn't my favorite anymore.
Tonight my friend and I were nearby after having had a great therapeutic massage (oh yes check out my review), I suggested to come here. The place has been updated, better flooring, updated decor and more customers on a drizzling Tuesday night.
I was hungry and cold so decided to order Crunch California Gimbap ( crunch roll with cucumber, avocado, etc etc.) it was phenomenal, a 10. I ordered the ribs with clear broth and glass noodles. It came with shared veggies and a bowl
of rice. It was a 5 of 5, could have been more if it was slightly seasoned (maybe a dash of black pepper and soy sauce that I could have added myself!)
Service was wonderful. While I was waiting for my friend, I was asked if I needed anything; and then the occasional checking in. Service is friendly and polite. My friend stayed a few minutes beyond closing time but we weren't hastened out. We got the Asian yogurt to cleanse our palate as we were given our check. What an experience! Still my top Korean restaurant in Hampton Roads!

I ordered Jjam Ppong. This restaurant is so delicious that even Koreans recommend it, and it's generous in portion size. Highly recommended!

It's the most delicious Korean restaurant in Virginia. I've never seen a Korean restaurant with so many customers Even though I was busy, the staff were so kind (Korean female staff was so kind!) I really enjoyed the hot stone pot bibimbap^^ The side dishes were all good, too! It was nice to feel the sincerity of the food ^^ I'm going to go again next time!

This is by far my favorite Korean place in Norfolk. Coming from California my expectations were very low, but this place surprised me. I have been to 3 different Korean restaurants locally and this is by far the best. I only give it 4 stars due to the fact that their prices are a bit high for smaller portions compared to the other restaurants here. However, in exchange you get fresher ingredients, fantastic food, and great customer service. They close in the afternoon for 2.5 hours everyday and off Sunday’s.

Edit: 5 stars now. Their food seems to always have the same quality consistently and I have been coming here for months now. Well, worth it!

2nd edit: can yall bring back the steamed egg? You guys makes it so good!!!

We have a high bar for Korean food after having lived in Korea, but both times we have gone, the food was FANTASTIC. The servers are always very attentive and the food and Banchon are fresh and delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant for your Korean food fix!

Great spot with amazing food and even better service. We went on a busy night and staff was worried our food might take a while so they brought us an additional complimentary appetizer. Food came out sizzling hot and right on time and far exceeded our expectations. Location is very spacious inside and has a separate area for large parties and celebration (18% gratuity charge added to bill for parties larger than 6). Probiotic liquid yogurt drink given at the and of the meal was included and delicious. Beer is available on site.

Don't let the hole in the wall look scare you away. The food was amazing, staff was nice and place was clean. Opted for the fish cake, white rice, and seafood Ramen. The fish cakes were a bit spicy and delicious!!

Located where you would not expect so trust your GPS. The food (Cheese Corn, Gun Man Doo, Special Combo, Beef Bulgogi Dinner, a the Galbi Combo) was absolutely delicious!!! The ambience is date night worthy & the staff were nice, fast and attentive.

Yes GO TO THIS PLACE.

The place has class. Thoughtfully decorated. Plateware had an asain theme. Great food. Had cheesy Ramen. The noodles retained the flavor of the broth. The broth was perfect. Service was great. At the end of the meal you were presented with a yogurt drink. Thoughtful. If your in this area you need to try it. Worth the stop.

Wow...its been a long time since I've had a good yukgaejang and this is probably one the tastiest I've had...in the top 5 for me.

Yukgaejang is a spicy beef soup. But don't let "spicy" fool you. Unless you find the mild version of Texas Pete spicy, you'll be fine eating this. Its so good! Served in a stone pot, this beauty comes out piping out amd continues to stay hot, so mind your lips. Its served with a bowl of rice and some panchan. They don't skimp here with their panchan. I actually feel kinda bad because I left without eating all mine. The yukgaejang is very filling! Did I mention that Hansang's is delicious?

Sidenote: service is great and quick; the place is clean and bright so you can actually see the beauty of plates passing you by; parking lot is a bit small; they give you a little yogurt drink (like Yakult) with your bill.

Glad I found you, Hansang! I'll be back!

Great place to eat traditional Korean cuisine! I absolutely love the food here. I ordered 4 different plates and an appetizer! Absolutely impressed with the quality and service! Would recommend to anyone. Even if you want to try something New! They are so helpful in describing the food for you!

The food was good and the service was great. The kimchee was just like my grammas home made kimchee back in the day. If we come through there we'll be back.

The food was to die for! Highly recommend it! Loved the Bibimbap, japchae and ramen!

We had Bulgogi and Gun Mandoo for lunch. It was absolutely delicious 😋

I ordered Jjamppong and Galbi. I couldn't take a picture of galbi. At first, there was no expectation for food, but I ate jjamppong, and I changed my mind. The food was amazing!! It tasted like jjamppong that I ate in Korea. The food took me back to Korea. I will definitely come back again.

I went to Hansang again for lunch. I had my usual, Spicy Pork Bulgogi. It was at the dinner price. This was about 1pm. I asked if they had a lunch menu, and she said, "No." I thought they did previously. According to the online menu, she was right.

The food was delicious as usual. The beansprouts and my new favorite, radish kimche came with broccoli. The broccoli was in a sauce, possibly tamari. It was delicious! Another new favorite. I would have loved to have had a double portion of the side dishes and rice as a meal.

Not an expert in Korean cuisine, so I can't say how accurately made the food was, but it was very good, especially for the low price. Service was remarkably fast and attentive.

Was in the area and was craving Korean food. Stumbled upon this small spot. Its extremely nice inside, the staff is friendly, and the food definitely surprised me. I ordered the bulgogi to go. The portion was very heafty for the price, I even have leftovers. I can always tell if a Korean spot is good based on their Kimchi & the bulgogi was equally as delicious as the banchan. Will definitely be going back to try their Yukgaejang

BEST KOREAN FOOD IN VIRGINIA! All the flavors were on point. I grew up eating Korean cuisine, so I can always tell when a flavor or ingredient is off. Best Korean food I’ve had in a while, if ever! Thank you! Wonderful service (intimate family-owned business experience) as well as such reasonable prices. So pleasant! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Very nice restaurant with efficient means to order from a tablet on the table. The gamja-tang was so filling for my wife and I, we would order it again!
