I was here with my sister earlier for a lunch and this curiousity led us to dine at Hanok. I actually wanted Naengmyun at Kimbab Cheonguk, but I also thought they might have Naengmyun here too.
We changed our mind to have Naengmyun for lunch instead. I wasn't sure why there's only 10 reviews, but turns out Hanok is not on good location. Makguksoo ($15.99 platter of cold noodles, ) was HUGE. This noodle dish can feed 2-3 people I think. One blog said this customer ended up taking left over home because she ordered too much.
Makguksoo had full of flavours with assorted veggies. This dish might be too spicy, if you can't handle spicy food. It was refreshing at the same time, and pineapple pieces enhanced sweetness of the noodles. There was no side dishes other than pickles. Pickles were quite tasty too, however it would be too salty to eat with noodles.
Service was okay. Their food was memorable though. -

Hanok was our venue for dinner one evening last week - it was a first-time visit to this restaurant for us. We arrived at 5:30 pm, received a welcome greeting upon entering, shown to a booth, and provided with menus.
Our server was back to our table with a large pot of hot tea, cups, and table settings soon after we settled in, and then provided us with just the right amount of time to check out their rather extensive menu. Her service was cordial, and very helpful as well, when it came time to make our final food decisions (re: 'what', 'how much', etc.).
We (couple) ordered and shared the following dishes:
-- stir-fry pork (Jeyuk bokkeum), and stir-fry squid (Ojingeo bokkeum).
-- main dishes came with bowls of steamed rice, and soup.
-- side dishes - bean sprouts salad, greens salad, potato, and kimchi.
The main dishes were good-sized, the ingredients - squid, pork, and veggies (slivers of cabbage, with some carrot, sliced mushroom, and etc.) - moist, very tender, and flavourful, and the sauces savoury (quite spicy hot, especially the sauce in the squid dish). The side dishes of rice and soup, and banchan were great -- especially the colourful, crisp, and cool salads, steamed rice, 'the' best tasted in a long while, tasty potato, and the light, flavourful soup.
We enjoyed our dinner and dining experience at Hanok -- for us, it was a good-value meal, served up in a friendly, and pleasant setting. -

My friend and I shared a hot plate (beef bulgogi). We overcooked the beef unfortunately, but we found that the corn and the egg sides were delicious. Server was attentive as much as he could be because it seemed he was the only server. Still met our needs and very polite! We want to go back and try their homemade tofu next.

As others have mentioned, the best time to come here is when the crowd has died down and there's less customers to serve. As a family-run establishment there's not a whole lot of wait staff to go around.
The soft-tofu seafood soup was so-so(not quite as good as Seoul Doogbaegi in Vancouver but then again, it's hard to compete against the best), but servicable. The spicy-pork dish was delicious and definitely worth the order. All in all not the cheapest place overall but decent value for your buck.
Remember to go during off-hours. -

As a person who love Korean Pot stews, this is the place. I fucking love this place for their huge pot stews with rice and side dishes. I love this place the most, especially for cold nights and rainy nights. If you are looking for some rustic feeling types of food, or wholesome and down to earth, this is the place for that.
I only come here for the solo pot stews since their soups are perfectly made. The order usually comes with 4 small dishes including Kim Chi.
I ordered the Black Goat Soup Stew with Green Onions, and for sure they add TONS AND TONS of green onions. It makes the stew extremely sweet, and the pieces of goat meat was delicious.
The second time I came i ordered the Pork Stew with Beef and Green Bean noodles. That was delicious and the amount of meats was perfect since the noodles filled me up mostly, and the soup.
If you want a good Korean style stew for a cold night, this is the PERFECT place. I will be making this my typical Korean Stew place :)
