Although the kitchen can deliver any number of Chinese and Japanese dishes, the decorations on the wall and Hana's regular expatriate clientele are a tip-off that this is really a Korean restaurant at heart. And true to form, it is the excellent Korean barbecue that makes it such a local favorite. Each large table has a built-in bed of charcoal over which you grill your own shrimp, squid, beef, pork, chicken, eel, tongue, liver—you name it—then dip the morsels in a delicious, slightly sweet soy sauce. Eight to ten spicy and mild kimchi (side dishes) are also set before you in tiny porcelain cups. The kitchen closes at 10:30.

Grill the food at your table and share with friends. The meat is marinated nicely, you pop it on the grill (not all at once) then start serving to friends as it cooks. Another plus, lots of Koreans eat here which is a very good sign that the food is authentic.
