Han Oak Restaurant

Food is tasty, but is overpriced and lack of originality. I went there twice, before and after the pandemic. The first time I got a dish of Dan Dan noodles, it was a very small portion comparing to an average Asian restaurant. I mean, it tasted like Dan Dan noddles, but nothing more. Second time me and my friends went for the tasting menu. I was a bit upset when I found out the tasting menu was hotpot, or nabe, depends how you call it. It was tasty, the meat was good quality, but there were no interesting bits in the execution. It was just straight up hotpot. I think we were too silly to pay $225 for this much food at the moment. The waitress said if I didn’t feel it was enough food I can ask for a refill, so I went for it. Yes I was looking for a differentiator from Hai Di Lao (a major Chinese hotpot chain). I guess if you haven’t had hotpot before it could be a good experience. But I was expecting more interesting takes on traditional Asian food at Han Oak. That’s the image it is trying to sell, isn’t it?

Be ready for a foodie adventure and experience. Over 5 courses the chef will take you on an adventure. From simply beautiful hotpot broth, to hand pulled noodles, dumplings, meats, and a surprising take on mochi and frozen yogurt. Bring your appetite and leave lots of time to enjoy this journey. Be ready to take food home and have leftovers. There are plenty of add-ons if you want, but there is plenty to enjoy. Keep an eye out because the chef/owner may come out and serve you a course table side. This is worth the stop!

My whole experience was great. It looks like they took down one wall of their restaurant to expand it. So the rest of the seating area is still covered but also feels like you are sitting outside. We tried the tasting menu and ordered some drinks. They all were delicious. I would recommend the tasting menu because I can't decide which one dish is a must -try. They are all good. As for the drink, the belly rub is my absolute favorite drink. It's like a spiked toasted coconut green tea.

super delicious, home-like korean comfort food. everything hit home and had a fun twist on korean food with some chinese and japanese influence. we got the set menu and loved the smashed cucumbers banchan. pork bossam was also very good and loved that it was accompanied with the radish and rice wraps. we had the crispy lightly battered korean fried chicken and was really good. it was paired with the waffle which was also super tasty. dumplings were also good these were more chinese style. the bibim gooksu was also super good and reminded me of my mom’s. the et-han dessert was good, but would have been better if it was bing-soo shaved ice . still delicious though. great staff, warm, inviting and best of all very kid-friendly!
