Her Name is Han

This K-town classic for Korean food is a super popular spot for both their brunch and dinner. The inside is cozy and I highly recommend a reservation as it gets super busy. Service is quick and very polite. I came for their dinner service and tried their kimchi pancake with a poached egg, fried cod, and bibimbap. Everything was delicious, including their banchan. The favorite of the night was their fried cod as the fish was fried so delicately and didn't feel oily at all. And, their maesaengi sauce for the fish paired so well and was like nothing I've had before. I wish I was hungrier when I went to be able to try more of their dishes. Will definitely have to come back to try their brunch sets!

I have eaten here several times for both lunch and brunch. They offer a wonderful set lunch menu during the week and a great brunch menu on the weekends. The set comes with a variety of small dishes, all of which are always fresh and delicious. The price is very reasonable considering the high-quality ingredients they use. The service is consistently excellent, and the food usually arrives quite quickly after ordering. The staff are always kind and accommodating. I would strongly recommend Her Name Is Han if you’re looking for a Korean meal. It’s a great spot for a business lunch or for a casual outing with friends.

I’ve wanted to try this restaurant for a while! It was perfectly cozy for a freezing night in January. I appreciate the clear intent to create a safe space for authentic and homey Korean food. I’m not the biggest fan of cod but it was still juicy and flakey. My friend who actually likes fish enjoyed it a lot. The Jeju mocktail was sweet, just a little bitter - like how real alcohol tastes. Their winter special galbi jjim was tender and flavorful. I was straight up drinking the broth. I would’ve liked more tteok since this dish was like $40, but it was worth it. The carrots and lotus were tender as well. The dish was so rich and savory that it ended up being plenty for 2 people to share.

Had a great meal at Her Name Is Han. The food was tasty and very comforting, and everything we ordered was thoughtfully done. We started with drinks the Jeju Hallabong was light and refreshing with a nice citrus kick, and the Mint Garden soju cocktail was clean and easy to drink, with subtle mint and green tea notes. For food, the Black Sesame Tofu was simple but really well balanced, with a nutty dressing and crunchy fried onion on top. The Crispy Kimchi Pancake was a standout crispy on the outside, savory from the cheese, and the poached egg tied everything together nicely. The mains were solid across the board. The Slow Cooked Pork Belly was tender and flavorful, paired with kimchi, radish pickles, and jalapeño soybean paste for contrast. The Garlic Grilled Chicken was juicy and nicely charred, with a strong garlic flavor and a crunchy peanut crumb. The Galbi was also excellent, well marinated, nicely grilled, and not overly sweet. Dessert was a nice surprise: Sool Sool, the Korean spirit ice cream with jocheong-glazed brown rice crunch and Korean pear was light and not too sweet, and the coconut foam with mugwort gave it a clean, herbal finish. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and pacing made for a really enjoyable meal. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

The restaurant’s decor is modern and warm with banker’s lamps vibe. The service is attentive and nice but could be slower during its peak lunch hour. The food is authentic including bulgogi, army stew, bibimbap, grilled mackerel and yuzu chicken noodle soup with pretty presentation. Their lunch set menu is a great deal. They also have a good selection of delicious cocktails and desserts.
