If you’re craving an authentic Korean dining experience in Hong Kong, Busan Night is the place to be. We had a blast trying out their lunch set, which came with various side dishes, from quail eggs to kimchi. 

One of the main dishes we chose was the spicy pork, and it definitely didn’t skimp on flavor. While it was a bit on the oily side, the portion was super generous. It’s enough to share if you have a smaller appetite. The spicy noodles here were also amazing!

Galbi Town is hands down one of the best spots in Hong Kong for a Korean barbecue feast. When we visited, the friendly staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

We couldn’t resist trying their famous beef ribs, marinated with cherry blossom honey. They were so tender and juicy, melting in our mouths with every bite. It was the absolute highlight of the night!

One of the highlights was the abalone Korean dumpling in beef bone broth that’s packed with flavor. The fried chicken also stole the show, juicy and tender, easily some of the best we’ve had (and we’ve had amazing chicken!). 

If you’re craving modern Korean cuisine in a relaxed setting, Hansik Goo is definitely a great choice. The atmosphere is laid-back so you can definitely hang out here with friends – maybe not much for a date night though!

Mayo stands out with dishes like the Yellowtail bibimbap that showcase fresh and perfectly seasoned ingredients. It’s just the right balance of spice and flavors. 

For a taste of traditional Korean, the house kimchi and Korean fried chicken were standout dishes. The fried chicken had just the right amount of crispiness, and the kimchi added a perfect punch of flavor.

The Moyo bossom, with its smoky char-grilled pork, is also fantastic if you want something more filling. 

We went on a Friday night, and the place was buzzing, so definitely make a reservation to avoid a big crowd!

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, especially the stir-fried rice cakes that came as a starter. The cold noodles and kimchi pancakes were both excellent and definitely worth trying.

The lunch special included a variety of Korean side dishes, with the kimchi being mild and flavorful. The kimchi pancake, abalone hot pot rice, and spicy stir-fried pork belly squid were all definitely worth the price!

Born Ga offers a fantastic Korean dining experience that’s worth checking out. We were particularly impressed by the eel and marinated crab rice, which were the real highlights of our meal.

We tried the marinated crab, BBQ beef and pork set, and seafood pancake. While the crab was a bit pricey at $530, the BBQ meats were high-quality and delicious (as you’d expect from Korean-quality food). 

The staff were friendly and attentive, even going the extra mile to make sure a toddler at another table was well taken care of.

The portions were generous too, making it a great spot for a hearty meal. Drop by here with your friends and you’ll love just sharing portions with each other.

Danji is a delightful Korean spot we’ve been eager to try, and we’re thrilled we finally did. The meal was fantastic, with each dish delivering a delicious surprise.

The food quality was impressive, even though the prices were a bit higher. For instance, the soy crab was rich and flavorful, while the galbi was tender and smoky.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting too, despite its small size. The place was packed even on a Wednesday evening, so we’d recommend making a reservation in advance through their website!

Hancham’s new location is spacious and convenient, making it a great spot for a Korean feast with a big group. We were really impressed by their soy shrimp and crab, which were absolutely delicious when paired with butter rice.

The Jeju pork belly and prawn stew were highlights of the meal as they’re tender and flavorful. 

We also enjoyed the stir-fried vermicelli with beef and spicy rice cake soup, both of which had a great kick. 

The prices are reasonable, especially for the lunch set meals. The a la carte dinner options, though, are a bit pricier.

The portion sizes are generous so you can really drop by for a hearty meal. The tables are a bit packed though, so it can get noisy during peak hours – take note!

Seoul Soul Kennedy Town is a great choice for a fun Korean BBQ night out. 

We loved the wide range of Korean dishes included in the buffet, especially the marinated prawn and crab. Plus at just under $428, the all-you-can-eat option felt like an absolute steal.

If we had to pick though, the Korean sweet and spicy chicken was the best. The spice is just right, and the sweetness has that typical aroma you can expect from Korean dishes. 

The service was quick, and the food arrived in no time, which made the experience even better.

The staff recommended their seafood pancake, and it did not disappoint! Crispy on the outside and packed with fresh seafood, it was one of our favorites. Their spicy seafood ramen also hit the spot with just the right amount of heat.

The place does get a bit loud, but that only adds to the energetic vibe. You may want to skip though if you’re only going solo!
