Hangari Kalguksu

Hangari Kalguksu is probably one of my favorite Korean restaurants of all time now. The staff is friendly and the food is absolutely outstanding. The handmade noodle soups are delicious - whether you get the clam or the chicken one. The Clam Kalgukgu is packed with little clams, zucchini, kabocha, and potato in a light anchovy broth. The Chicken Kalguksu just feels healthy with half of a chicken, zucchini, kabocha, potato, dried dates, and onions in a chicken and anchovy broth. If you are not feeling a soup, then the beef bulgogi is the way to go. A massive bowl of deliciously seasoned and tender bulgogi served next to rice and a refreshing salad. Last but definitely not the least...Hangari's Famous Bossam with belly and jowl was actually the star of the show.  You get a big platter of boiled tender pork belly and buttery pork jowl. It is served with crunchy cabbage leaves, sweet and spicy radish kimchi, and side dishes. One hundred percent, you cannot come here and not get this. It is spectacular and I wish I could find a spot just as good near me. Now for my standard comments. The location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating.

It was my first time visiting this place, and I was really impressed — it’s clean and has a nice atmosphere. I had to wait a while before ordering because I was waiting for someone, but the staff were patient and didn’t rush me. When I finally ordered, the food came out generous and delicious. The bossam was super tender with no unpleasant smell, and the hot stone bibimbap was perfectly sizzling — so good! The clam noodle soup had a rich, flavorful broth, and the noodles tasted fresh and chewy, like they were handmade. And the young radish bibimbap that came with it was honestly amazing. I’m definitely coming back!

The Kalguksu was very good, large portions and good flavor, the sleeper was the Tokbokgi rice cake! We polished that off so quick! 😁😁 Service is a little hit or miss but it's all very homey and fresh. Definitely worth checking out.

Generous portion! 1 medium bossam & jowl and 1 serving of cold noodles could easily feed 3 people. We were here for the bossam but fell in love with the jowl instead. You can't go wrong with anything you order here

I must have been to this place like 5x and each time, always had great service and delicious food. This is korean comfort food!! If you want old school authentic Korean soup without the spice, this is it!! Usually this place is packed, but today, maybe because we got there earlier, there were plenty of seats. I took my dad after our medical appointments nearby and he enjoyed it very much!! I ordered the clam kalguksu (clam w/ knifecut noodles soup) this was hearty and delicious. It had potatoes, komb1ocha squash slice and zucchin slice with some onion slices. We loved the flavor and that was my go to here. This time, I also ordered their mandoo (dumpling) soup (it was beef and delicious, as well) also to share. Two items were enough to share for two people. And they serve it with 3 types of kimchi. My dad liked all their kimchi sides and they give extra if you like. All my favorites. They serve it with barley rice bowl with a spoon of bean paste. Everything was tasty and point on in flavor and temperature!! Highly recommended!! They make it right at this restaurant!! 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the XL bossam and it was extra delicious, I prefer the jowel over the belly but both good. Army stew can feed way more than two! The clam soup was very flavorful. And even though the place was packed the service was very fast, attentive, and friendly. Don't forget to order the bibimbap!

The portions are very generous—the large jar kalguksu could easily feed five people. The boiled pork was also delicious, and the overall taste of the food was just as good as I expected. The interior is clean and comfortable. The only downside is that it’s quite busy, so it’s hard to get the staff’s attention. Even when you want to ask for a side dish refill, everyone is so busy that it’s hard to catch the right moment.
