Can you get a table top grill at lunch?

By table top grill, do you mean the charcoal under the table grill? This was my first time but my brother, who took me, eats there at lunch mostly. They are supper accommodating. Im sure you will get the same great experience that i did, at any time they are open.

Is it affordable?

It's priced similar to any other Korean restaurant. You'll probably spend $10-20 per person, depending on what you order.

Fantastic, authentic, Korean BBQ! I completely recommend you try this establishment if you want the real experience. They even fire their BBQ tables with hot coals, not propane or butane like other restaurants, it was a new and awesome experience for me!!

I heard good things about Korean food. I didn't know what to expect , but it was good for the first time. I had Bimibap amd is was DELICIOUS. The lady even helped me learn how to eat and mix it. It was good. Very quiet place. Awesome.

The food was pretty much on point. Definitely recommend if you are into authentic Korean food. All the employees are nice as well. You can tell they care about the quality of the food.

1st time going...no wait our waitress was freaking awesome I just hate they had her stretched so much throughout the restaurant. It was date night and our first experience and she made sure we knew exactly what to do. Food definitely fresh and delicious and the sujo is amazing. View the pics☺

I think they have improved since the last time we went - years ago. I had a seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) and fried mandoo. Nice and crispy on both. Pancake could have had larger pieces of seafood. Waitress checked up on us regularly. Price was OK. I will likely start going there when in the neighborhood.

First thing to remember, its not fast food. They still use hot coals for tableside BBQ and they offer to help you cook your meats.

I usually hit this place when I’m in town. I get the table side BBQ option every time because why not? This place is great. They’re always super sweet to my kids and the food is delicious.

I visited this restaurant because it is 6 minutes away from Doraville Marta station. The food was pretty good. Very filling & not expensive at all. I will say the menu is a little intimidating. All the items are listed in Korean & there is an English subtitle that tells you what’s in the meal. A picture of what the finished meal looks like would be a great addition so you know what you are getting. The waitress was friendly. There are many Korean businesses in this area. I’m guessing this is the closest Korean BBQ stop to a Marta station on the entire line. Check them out if you get a chance.

I’m not an expert on KBBQ in the slightest, but I enjoyed what I ordered here. I like that it’s opened late, and my waitress was very patient with me in trying to choose a meal I liked since I never had KBBQ before. I don’t have any complaints!

I like the late night hours, so many places nearby close at 9pm. I like that they separated barbecue and non barbecue eaters so that the grilling doesn't bother people who do not eat the barbecue. Love that they use charcoal and I've never been to a place that switches grill plates in between different meats. I would like the option however of grilling my own meat. The servers just sort of took over the plates and even though I tried to manage my own food when they walked away, it was just sort of awkward and I didn't really know what to say. I prefer not having someone cook over me. Kimchi is decent, dduengjang jigae wasn't very good and too salty. The marinade on the galbi is on point.

My favorite Korean bbq! I go whenever I'm back in Atlanta. Seafood pancake, squid stir-fry, bulgogi, veggie fried rice and the large meat platter. Get all that. Go home happy and full.

Best korean restaurant around. Can't speak for anyone else. I'm treated like royalty. They always refill my side dish as often as me and my wife request. We love the bim bim bap, beef bugolgi and the spicy pork

Han Il Kwan is a fantastic restaurant that gives very generous portions. The ban chan is delicious every time. They have a dine in menu and a tabletop grill menu. The tabletop grills use charcoal (which is preferable). I personally favor their hot pots and soups. I recommend the yuk gae jang (spicy beef soup).

If honesty is what you're looking for then don't go here. I placed my order by phone at 11:45 AM and arrived there at 12:05 PM to pick it up. The kitchen had apparently forgotten about the order and the server assured me it was just about finished. As she walked away I witnessed her type in my order on another POS register. I didn't receive my order until 12:25 PM. I only get 30 minutes for my break and 20 minutes of it was wasted on waiting. If it were me working there, I would be truthful and let the customer know what had happened so they could at least have another option on a limited break. Again if you expect integrity then this isn't the place for you.

Been going here since I was a kiddo. 2 stars since the food has always been consistent and good, but the last service just turned me off a bit. This time, ordered food to go, they apparently gave the wrong food. They called almost when I was home and asked me if I could come back and swap out the food. That would have been too hard since that would mean me sitting in traffic for another hour so they relented and instead of processing a return, they said they would give me a credit and told me to eat whatever they gave me (I ordered galbi and yoongaejang they gave me bibimbab and seullungtang). Went back today and ordered the same thing togo - and they said they're really sorry, but they'd have to charge me for the yookgaejang). I paid - begrudgingly- since the waitress said she had to eat the cost for all the food not the restaurant. Eh. For someone who's been going to that restaurant since it was built out for a Chinese restaurant back in the 90s - eh.

The food is literally addictive. Very authentic. The owner came and cooked at the table for us. I guess she could tell we were completely confused lol. I felt like I was in an anime show! The setting is exactly like the ones in the cartoons.

Amazing authentic Korean BBQ, and I should know: I lived in Busan for a year! Love the anju and the kimchi is flavorful and real. Only thing they’re missing are the ‘nyet’ sesame leaves. Had a great Valentine’s Day with my wife. Kamsamnida Hanil House!

Worth it if you bring a decent size group and you order one of the items for multiple people. You end up getting a lot of food and have a great dinning experience. If you have never had Korean BBQ this is a great place to start. Checks took a little too long at the end to come out and get taken care of but overall solid experience.

This place was really delicious! I got the Gal Bi Gui (marinated short ribs), that you grill at the table. A fun experience! There was a definite language barrier between us and the server, so we were a little confused about what exactly we were getting, as far as sides go. And the server stepped in for a lot of the grilling, possibly because our table had a lot of kids, and she was trying to be helpful. It was a bit chaotic trying to grill, assemble, and eat everything (again, probably due to having too many kids). It was also on the pricier side. But it's definitely a worthwhile experience! We'll be back (without the kids next time)!

HORRIBLE SERVICE. I came from NYC on a business trip and I took my clients and my dad to this place. We ordered a bunch of dish. First they brought side dishes and then we had to tell ask her for spoons and chopsticks. Then after 20 min she brought one dish. After some time when we asked for side dish, she told us to eat slowly otherwise she will charge us for the side dish, even though it was only the second time we had asked her for the side dish. She forgot to order or bring the rest of our dishes. It completely ruined our appetite the way she spoke to us. We cancelled our order paid for some of it and left the restaurant never to return back.
