Hwa | Korean Restaurant & Sushi

Hidden gem in Murray, Utah! HWA Korean & Japanese Restaurant (former Cafe Seoul) serves authentic Korean-Japanese fusion. Melt-in-mouth bulgogi with sesame & green onions, perfectly sweet-savory; juicy galbi ribs; bubbling soft tofu stew loaded with beef and seafood. Comes with unlimited classic banchan, fluffy rice, and the coziest Japanese-style booths. Super affordable, family-run vibe, always playing K-pop on big screens. Easily one of the best Korean spots in Utah!

This place has some of the best Korean food in Utah. They have great sushi rolls too. They stayed open to let us finish our food and the service was PERFECT. Super nice and kind people. 10/10 recommend!!!

THE BEST KOREAN PLACE IN SLC!!!! This small restaurant in an unassuming part of Murray is serving up some amazing homestyle korean food! The kinchi jigae is hearty and satisfying with a nice kick, and the beef bulgogi is tender and well marinated. The nice lady serving us gave us a complimentary plate of mandu as well. Don’t be put off by the location in a business plaza, the food and hospitality is 100% worth it!

Surprised to find this gem. The fried chicken with spicy sauce was crisp and juicy to perfection. Tempura was delicious. Sushi rolls and gyoza were great. The Kalbi was tender and full of flavor and the side dishes that accompanied it was a perfect combination.

First time ordering from here and it’s 100% worth it. The plates were big, the food was hot and delicious and I ordered pick-up so you know I still had to drive it home 😆 but even so I got home and it was so good, fragrant, spicy, and filling and the prices are super reasonable. I got bulgogi chicken plate and a bibimbap for my wife! We also got vegetable tempura and miso soup. They had so many options we went with the safe and easy options we know from other places but everything on the menu looked and sounded phenomenal. And we’re excited to try more in the future! Another plus is that their menu has descriptions and their site has pictures as well if you’re a visual kind of person. It was all worth every single penny and more! Support local, support this restaurant!

Service was phenomenal, friendly, and fun. Food didn't miss a beat with fun presentation and great flavors that you wouldn't find elsewhere all with some great decor. Thank you!

Arrived to an empty restaurant just before 1pm, and watched it fill up pretty quickly. The only waitstaff I saw was not just friendly, efficient, organized, and a provider of great service. She was very cool, calm & collected. A true asset to this restaurant! She handled questions beautifully, ensuring customers got a really good meal by helping them with choices based on what they like, not by her personal preferences. The food was made fast & tasted fresh. Nothing was taken past my dining table that didn't look amazing! The two sushi rolls we ordered were of a nice size, and we ended up taking home 5 leftover pieces. The only mss- My wine definitely needed a better chill on it. Don't miss your chance to find good food at a very good price. I'll definitely return and look forward to having another opportunity to enjoy one of their great options!
