Han Mi Restaurant

Came in for lunch with my aunt. We were craving authentic Korean dishes. Parking: There's a small parking lot with plenty of open spots. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of seating. It's very clean inside. The tables, chairs, booths, and utensils are clean. It's a very casual and welcoming. It wasn't busy at all for a weekday. Service: We were greeted immediately when we entered. Our server was nice, attentive, and efficient. She checked on us a few times. I found a piece of hair in the vegetable wrap, and she was very apologetic and immediately came back with a new vegetable wrap. Our dishes also came out under 15 min after ordering. Food & drinks: You get complimentary tea or hot tea for the table. So delicious! The banchan was marinated to perfection and paired deliciously with the main courses! 1) #22 Spicy Chicken + soybean paste stew + vegetable wrap - The chicken was cooked thoroughly and not spicy at all. It was seasoned well and had a lil kick to it. I made use of the new vegetable wrap by taking a lettuce and placing chicken, carrot, and cucumber and rolling it up. The soybean paste stew was a bit salty for my taste, but perfect for the cold weather. 2) Marinated Beef Hot-Stone Bibimbap - The sizing of the hot-stone plate was large! The rice was crispy on the bottom and topped with a generous amount of vegetables. The beef tasted as expected. Make sure to drench it in sauce to give it more flavor. Pricing: Prices in general have gone up over the years. Looking at the menu, these are average prices now. We'd definitely come back for the kind service and authentic Korean dishes.

Hanmi is hands down my favorite local spot for Korean food in Artesia, CA. Tucked away in a small strip mall, this cozy restaurant offers an incredible selection of delicious and comforting dishes. The flavors are consistently on point, and you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The service is always friendly, making it a truly warm, welcoming experience every time. Whether you're craving classic Korean comfort food or trying something new, Hanmi is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Best Korean cold noodle soup (mul nang meon) : icy tangy soup with buckwheat noodles, cucumber, hard boiled egg plus a slice of Asian pear. You can customize this with more vinegar and hot mustard. Most refreshing on summer days but is served year round. Also very delicious Bossam platter: tender seasoned boiled pork belly plus vegetables to wrap them, perilla leaf, jalapeno, garlic plus a spicy oyster kimchi. Whit soybean and sesame paste cold noodle is served here. Hot soft tofu soups available as combo with barbecued LA beef rib or bulgogi.

This is a clean Korean restaurant. The remodel has made it much better. The new owner is very clean and friendly. The menu is diverse and delicious, making it a great place to enjoy authentic Korean flavors. I appreciated being able to truly experience the taste of Korea. However, it would be nice if the portion of rice could be increased to help balance the salty and spicy flavors of the main dishes. Since everyone's appetite varies, it's unfortunate that there is an additional charge for extra rice. The service is friendly, and the wait time for food is reasonable, which I appreciated. Update If you're looking for authentic Korean cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. Known for its robust and deeply flavorful dishes, it reflects the essence of traditional Korean taste. While the place can get quite busy, this is a testament to its popularity and the quality of its food. To fully enjoy the flavors, consider visiting during less crowded times. Each dish here is distinct yet perfectly highlights its unique taste. For a true taste of traditional Korean richness, this small but highly appealing restaurant is highly recommended.

2024 Eats; "LA" #3, Korean #3: this was previously Gombo Wang, a Korean restaurant we'd come to for naengmyeon and mandu. During our quick visit to LA, we ate at Hanmi three times (once for lunch, once for dinner, and once via takeout). While I liked Gombo Wang, I think Hanmi is a definite improvement. The biggest improvement and my favorite thing about Hanmi is their banchan--it's delicious. Across our visits, we ordered bo ssam, nakji bokkeum, naengmyeon, buchu jeon x2, bulgogji x2, daeji bulgogi, and agu jjim (and I feel like I'm forgetting something). The bo ssam is very good, and they give you a _ton_ of food/meat. The buchu jeon was very, very good as well. Their bulgogis are much better than Chil Po (Artesia; where we previously would get bulgogi for takeout). I think for the most part everything is priced pretty fairly. Soju comes in around ~$10-11. Service is very attentive (though I don't think it's ever been extremely busy when we visit). They regularly refill our banchan which is nice, too. The restaurant is clean, but in terms of ambiance, I think it leaves quite a bit to be desired. Highly recommend Hanmi as this has become our go-to if no one feels like cooking. I'm sure I'll be back the next time I visit (greater) LA.

Unassuming store front located in a strip mall, but we were genuinely surprised by how good everything was. The food here is spectacular, everything from the banchan, bossam, and soups. Friendly staff but they seemed kind of busy so we had to ask for things sometimes. Bookmarked as favorites and will surely come back again.

I have been here more than 10 times! Good Korean food, variety menu. Korean Approved! 👍
