    Great food, excellent service. The BBQ combo was perfect for the three of us along with some selected vegetable side dishes! We had a lovely time and appreciated the cleanliness and overall vibe! A great place tucked away, worth checking out.

    Very good! Love the kimchi pancake. Slightly more expensive than usual kbbq but the meat, pancake, stew, and not smelling like meat really factor into the 5 star rating.

    Very much enjoyed our time here! The staff were fantastic and very attentive, constantly helping to turn our meat (we had asked them to cook for us) and refill our side dishes. We left full and very happy with our experience.

    Food was fantastic. Good meat quality. Staff were friendly and helpful. No desserts here but there’s plenty of dessert places around. Cost close to $200 for 2 adults

    Overall great experience, food was tasty, fresh and pricing isn’t too bad either. We ordered the wagyu platter and marinated combo platter. Seafood pancake was exceptional; super crispy and the ginseng chicken soup was a winner. Wagyu was obviously the highlight. The only thing is if you are a large group, you may be sitting across two tables I went with my family = table of 8 and we were split across two tables. It wasn’t too bad though as the tables were side by side, we could still talk. Def will come back

    We loved our first Korean BBQ dining experience at Hwadam! Great (prompt) service, and attention by team member, who cooked for us. Food was all delicious and fresh. Will definitely be back and recommending to friends!

    Good Korean bbq place but the service was bad. The lady who greeted us was dismissive and didn’t even remember us & greeted us twice? They all seemed busy & stressed which affects the entire experience. Otherwise food was good, a bit expensive. It’s a bit too noisy.
