While positioned at a premium price point, Hanjip consistently receives praise for its high-quality ingredients, exceptional service, and welcoming atmosphere that makes it a must-visit destination for Korean BBQ enthusiasts.
We ordered Platter B along with an extra serving of beef tongue. While we came in with fairly high expectations, the meat didn’t quite live up to them. The selection of sides was limited to just four. The seafood pancake was more like an egg omelette than the traditional thin version we were expecting. The steamed egg lacked flavor, and both the fried chicken and tofu soup were average — nothing particularly memorable.
Overall, the food didn’t quite match the hype. That said, the service was excellent. Every staff member was professional, attentive, and served with a smile. The ambiance was also a plus, cozy and spacious, making for a pleasant dining atmosphere.

Very nice, cozy ambience with great food and service from John. We ordered the prime ribeye, pork jowl, ginseng chicken soup, and seafood pancake. The ginseng chicken was thick and rich in taste, and remained hot until the end of the meal. We recommend the beef. They grill the meat for you, and the service staff is very attentive. We will revisit to try other food.

The service was great! They cooked and separated the meats onto different plates for us and even asked for our doneness preferences.
The food also arrived swiftly and it was so enjoyable. I really love the atmosphere—a perfect place to have dinner after work or for a date :)
Would definitely recommend!
Jared Ling
The food was fantastic! The meat is fresh and super tender! There's a spacious dining area, and the best part is, there’s someone assigned to grill meat for you! They are so experienced and well-trained that they serve perfectly grilled meat to you! This will be my favourite Korean BBQ restaurant from now on!
Ray Chen
Had a great dinner at this Korean restaurant. The overall experience was excellent — the staff were observant, polite, and provided very good service throughout. The meat quality was impressive and fresh. The banchan served were delicious, especially the lotus root which stood out. Will definitely come back!

Review: An Unforgettable Korean BBQ Experience
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Korean restaurant, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we were seated, the service was warm and attentive, setting the stage for what turned out to be a truly memorable meal.
The highlight, without question, was the premium selection of beef. We ordered the Wagyu chuck, Wagyu striploin, and USDA ribeye, all grilled to a perfect medium-rare. The meat was incredibly tender, rich in flavour, and marbled just right—each bite practically melted in the mouth. The smoky char from the grill brought out the natural umami of the beef, making every slice a delight.
Complementing the beef were crispy fried chicken wings, which were seasoned beautifully and offered a satisfying crunch without being greasy. The banchan selection was generous and thoughtfully curated, with fresh, tangy, and savoury side dishes that balanced the richness of the grilled meats perfectly.
Whether you’re a fan of Korean BBQ or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit. It offers top-quality ingredients, expertly prepared dishes, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
Nik Ee
Amazing experience. The food was excellent, the tabletop grill was unique for me, and of course, the staff was super helpful. So, the game is as follows: You choose the meat you want, and they deliver it to your table uncooked. You inspect it, and a staff member comes and cooks it right in front of you. Also, once you order, the waiter delivers salads and various Korean delicacies like kimchi to your table. Definitely go!

I love all the food, especially the side dishes. We ordered the 6-person set for $599++, but it was easily enough for 8 people. Meat was perfectly cooked, and other dishes were great as well. Only the fried chicken was so-so.
As the restaurant is so popular, you only have a 2-hour slot, so you can't really keep drinking and chilling out with friends. But it's highly recommended for those who love Korean BBQ.
Charmaine Lim
My friends and I had an incredible dining experience here. From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The quality of the meat was top-notch — tender, flavorful, and beautifully marbled. We especially loved the marinated short ribs and pork belly.
The side dishes (banchan) were fresh and plentiful, and the dipping sauces added great depth to the flavors. I also appreciated the clean, modern atmosphere and the efficient ventilation — no smoky clothes afterward!
Whether you're a Korean BBQ enthusiast or trying it for the first time, Hanjip delivers an authentic and satisfying meal. Highly recommended!
Renee Yee
We had an exceptional dining experience here! We ordered the Hanjip platter, which consisted of four different types of meat. All of them tasted really delicious, fresh, and tender! The sides were generous and great as well.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, and service was great. The staff helped to grill our meat to perfection and proactively refilled our sides. It was a really enjoyable meal, and we will definitely revisit.

There's a whole new level of richness to these steaks, with softness approaching stick-of-butter levels. Succulent and juicy, that gorgeous web of creamy intramuscular fat - the marbling which characterises wagyu beef spreads more and more throughout the meat, giving it a melt-in-your-mouth texture that you'll never forget.
