Hwaro

The service was fast, the prices are comparatively low, and the food is aiight.
The interior is comfortable enough, but not really that special. There are booths and regular tables that can seat up to around 6 – 8 people.

The service was good. Our server kept our drinks refilled and was always available when we needed her.
The food was alright. I noticed that their sauces are different from the sauces I usually get at Korean BBQ places. Personally, I prefer the regular sauces over the sauces at Hwaro, but I know some people love the sauce here, so it’s just a matter of taste. Also, a heads-​up: The meat servings are one third of the meat servings at other Korean BBQ places. I’m guessing they’re trying to avoid leftover meat that way, but it does make customers have to order meat more often when they don’t know about the small portion size. Hwaro only seems to have ice cream for dessert, which isn’t too bad of a deal since Sweets Raku is in the same plaza for all dessert fans.
Honestly, the best part about Hwaro is probably the price. It ranges from $ 16 to $ 20 depending on whether you come in during lunch or dinner (there is also a late-​night all-​you-​can-​eat special) and is thus one of the most affordable Korean BBQ places in town.
Overall, Hwaro is a good place to go for affordable late-​night Korean BBQ.

Had a great experience at this k-​bbq establishment! Waited maybe 10 minutes or so to be seated. Once we were seated they took out order right away and dishes came out quick and beautifully! We ordered the spicy pork bulgogi which was excellent, spicy pineapple beef which was also full of flavor. Our regular patterns of brisket and short ribs were delicious as well. The customer service here was excellent! People came over right away when we needed them and brought back the items we requested in an instant. The people that work here are very efficient because as soon as we stood to leave they were ready to clean to table and seat the neat party within minutes. I will definitely come back here again because of the excellent service and the marinated meats full of delicious flavor!

Ambiance was nice… It’s just a small place about 13ish tables. Food was great so much choices everything tastes good… I like the idea having dessert & appetizer w/​the all u can eat… Serving is small portion which is more ideal so you’ll make sure you’ll finish it… It’s a great place… From now on will be going here instead of tofu hut… I only gave 4 star just because they gave us a dirty plates when we were seated which is in guessing it’s a mistake… But all in all food was great!

One of my favorite KBBQ places! I love the unique look of the place & how nice the employees are there. They have great selections on their menu and really good appetizers as well, especially «the shit».
I personally like to eat a lot of marinated meets such as spicy pork bulgogi and their pineapple beef steak! Their meats just seem to have more flavor compared to other places.
Out all the times I’ve came here, the waiting was very short or there was a seat available immediately! The only down part about this place is that some things are limited on the menu, which is alright!

I know it was a Friday and Friday’s are typically busy for most restaurants but hot damn our wait was a whopping 2.5 hours!!! Now you’re probably saying «Why the F*#! would anyone wait that long?»…well because one it is so hard to find parking anywhere near China town and two because the hostess said it would may be take an hour or less and three we had kids with us who were restless and four I was told it was a pretty good place for Korean BBQ AYCE.
Any how the restaurant is small with only 8 booths (seats 4 comfortably) and 3 long tables (seats maybe 12 comfortably). There was one other long table but was set up for the people waiting to be seated as well as 3 other booths utilized for the same purpose… so pretty useless and a waste of dining space.
Once seated we were told that the kids would be charged full price at $ 19.99 (although they only wanted to eat a couple appetizers) so before you come with kids keep in mind kids ages 0 – 2 free, 3 – 7 are half price and ages 7 and above full price.
Now the food: the menu selection was good, lotsa variety of meat selection. The side dishes could be better, but you do get a good amount. The Korean KFC is to die for! They’re small popcorn like crispy fried chicken with a sweet spicy sauce drizzled on top. The gyoza and egg rolls are just like any other but still pretty tasty.
I give the service a 5 star because the waitress was very attentive as she frequently came to our table changing the grill and taking our orders. The hostess was nice BUT seriously needs to work on her «timing», I mean if the place is busy just be honest about the wait time. Other than that, I’d come back… just not on a Friday night.

We were spoiled. We came here first. So when we went to the other restaurant… maybe we expected too much. The service here was amazing. Sammie and Jacob (there was one more but I can’t remember her name) were amazing and super attentive. They worked as a team to meet our every need and they definitely went above and beyond the call of duty to provide amazing service. We had a group of over 15 people and they never made us wait too long for anything we asked for… we asked for a lot too!
If you’re going to go to ANY KBBQ place in LV, this is the one to go too. The menu prices were much more reasonable, the service is spot on, the ambiance is fun (though if you’re looking for a quiet place, it can get a little loud). The meat quality was pretty good for the price you were paying. The only thing I’d say was a little bit troublesome is that if you liked the baby octopus or enoki beef, they come in only limited supply. I wasn’t torn up about that because I wanted the other selections a lot more. But being an AYCE place… these kinds of limitations just leave you a bit wanting.

Service is always a hit or miss with KBBQ places, sometimes they feel like helping you, sometimes they don’t.
I can’t help but keep going back because I actually like the quality of meat here.
Favorite meats are: brisket, beef belly, pork belly and the ribeye!
Favorite sides: kimchi, salad, and bean sprouts.
Not a fan that you only get one steamed egg!
Steamed egg is my favorite, you put it with your steamed rice and make a little fried rice with it.
If you want you can even add some kimchi with that to make kimchi fried rice.
But again, you only get a tiny one– which is good to split with, at most, two people.
Very well ventilated so unlike the other places you don’t feel all the smoke all up in your face!
They change the grill as soon as it starts turning black or burned.
Utensils (tongs, chopsticks and napkins) are already on the table and the serve-​your-​self water in bottles are set up along with your sides.
It’s a tie between the dislikes and likes but I really like this place as far as AYCE KBBQ place goes!
FYI — New management also made new rule that it has to be a party of 2 or more.

Another one of a go to for all you can eat Korean bbq!
The meats are fresh and the service is great. They come back often to check to see if we need anything else — more sides? Yes please! More soju? Yes please! And more salad! I love the side salad too!
Some of the usual is bulgogi, short ribs, bulgogi, short ribs, beef brisket, beef tongue, pork cheek… You get it. It’s a meat fest but what the hell do you think we came here for!
Enjoy your dining experience, relax, have some good conversation and wear stretchy pants

I visited this place when it first opened. We came in the afternoon and the place was fairly spacious and for the most part, empty. This was actually a welcome change from waiting in crammed spaces for hours. The booths looked clean and the décor modern. The service was very much on point and they were extremely attentive.
I guess my main gripe was the quality and lack of flavor in the meats. We sampled practically all of the offerings including the marinated and non marinated options. Everything lacked flavor completely. I actually found their banchan more enjoyable than the meats themselves. I don’t think this will become a regular place for our Korean BBQ fix unfortunatley.

I had high hopes about this place, but at the end I was pretty disappointed and knew I should of trust my instincts and left as soon as I saw one of the servers touched her nose and mouth!
First it’s pretty disappointing when you walk In and not know how long you’ll be waiting for a table, lack of communication.
Second it’s an eye sore having to see part of the kitchen and looking at how the servers handle your food. Touching their nose and mouth then your food! Ahhh! l was pretty disgusted how they serve water. They pour water with a red bucket into these pitchers. I just sticked to can soda.
THIS PLACE HAD POOR STANDARDS OF FOOD HYGIENE.
Our server did not really communicate with us.
Yeah it had a cute atmosphere but the food lacked in flavor, our table was greasy, menu was sticky, plastic cups were not dry. Awful just awful. I WILL STICK TO TOFU HUT.

The place was super clean and nice, much more than I expected at an AYCE bbq place. The staff there were so nice and welcoming. We came on a Friday night so of course there was a wait but it was well worth it. Upon our seating, they already had the banchan, water, and grill ready to make up for the wait.
I’m a fan of beef tongue and I was so happy there portions were generous; Actually all their portions of meat were generous. They had multiple choices of banchan which were all so yummy! For their desserts, we had the red bean and plum ice cream. Both were very interesting.
When my boyfriend and I come to Las Vegas for another vacation, we’d definitely come back!

The first time we came here, the service was amazing so, we kept coming back. $ 20 for AYCE KBBQ for dinner is a good deal; $ 17 for lunch. But the service has never been as good as our first visit.
They have octopus, chicken, rib eye, short rib, brisket, flank, pork skin, tripe, pork belly, pork cheek, beef belly, and bulgogi. The enoki beef is good but there’s a 1-​order/​person limit. Appetizers include gyoza, Korean Fried Chicken aka KFC (yum!), bulgogi nachos, corn cheese, etc. You can also get sundobu in 3 different spice levels with beef, seafood or both. You get salad and banchan.
I like this place better than Tofu Hut because I feel like Hwaro has more selections and the meat quality is better. This is located in the same complex as Monta, Snowflake, Raku, Kabuto, Trattoria Nakamura-​ya, etc. so, good luck finding parking space.

Hwaro was the prettiest Korean bbq venue I’ve ever visited. It’s very modernized with a rustic-​Asian feel to the room. I had a feeling that once I walked in, this place was going to be great.
The service was nothing special, but I much appreciate the standard service than bad service. I think the ambiance and the service is the only reason why I’m giving this place a two. Otherwise, I want to give it a one star. But, I really don’t like to rep a restaurant unless they’ve really done my experience wrong.
This review is really based on the food. While Hwaro was the prettiest kbbq restaurant I’ve ever visited, it was the worst kbbq I’ve ever tasted. Literally, my taste buds were crying along with my wallet. While this restraurant is much cheaper in comparison to its restaurant counterparts, I would just like to say, save your money and find another place.
The meat… All of it was just bland. I asked for a bulgoge chicken, and there was nothing bulgoge about it. It was piece of chicken that literally was taken out of the package and served to me. The brisket and marinated ribeye were the same– bland. And then I thought MAYBE I should get something else like the marinated pineapple beef. This one was slightly better as I tasted a hint of pineapple to it but it really wasn’t anything special. The only thing that made this meal bearable was the idea of using my dipping sauces along with the meat. Which is a shame because I never had to solely rely on dipping sauces for a good kbbq meat.
I don’t even think it’s the price either. At a whooping $ 19.99 and the quality of meat I was served, I think this is still expensive compared to the kbbq restaurants found in let’s say LA. They are much cheaper and much more delicious. I don’t see the hype of this place. My friends cook better meat than these. I honestly wish I saved my money, bought meat from my local supermarket, marinated it and I would have been happy with it. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was leaving this place. This is one of those restaurants that got me saying «eekkkks! Me thinks not!»

I came by here last week and this place is alright. situated in Chinatown, Las Vegas. Hwaro is your typical K BBQ spot!.. and I’d say the price is a good deal for dinner. Before coming here the only other «All you can eat» spot I had tried before in SD was self-​serve, and over here you tell them what you want and they deliver the meat and everything to you. I think this allows them to limit portions even though it is AYCE.
The food was tasty upon using the dipping sauces (they give your three), but the service was super duper slow! It took awhile to get seated because all the seating areas with grills were full. It also took foreverrr for a water refill, and I was thirsty. The complimentary standard sides were yummy, but the steamed egg they limit one per table. but the were nice to give us two and the AYCE also comes with rice and salad. If it’s AYCE, it would be nice if there was no limit on the egg. but that’s just me because I love eggs even though I know it’s all about the meat here! As for the meats my table ordered the brisket, pork belly, and bulgogi. Bulgogi is my go to and is my favorite! Overall this is a neat spot to try when looking for a good deal for Korean BBQ for the price ($ 20/​dinner), but with average service.

Great food and good service. They have a good amount of choices for the ayce price. This is probably one of the better kbbq places here in Vegas. The service is definitely better than most.
The servers come and check on you a lot of times so we were never out of meat or drinks or sides. The brisket and the squid were our favorites. We loved the soup and the steamed egg for sides as well. It’s too bad they don’t have japchae here. They also don’t have an alcohol license yet so no soju either :(but for about $ 20/​person you can get your kbbq fix and you’ll leave feeling happy and full: D

Hwaro … under new management. AYCE (all you can eat) BBQ $ 17 for lunch or $ 20 for dinner. not a bad price.
WARNING: if you’re 21 and older and looking to have a drink, you gotta wait. They are in the process of renewing their liquor license … ugh (they would’ve got another star, but I couldn’t drink with my meal. major party foul).
The food and service is good. They weren’t really busy when we were there so if we needed anything it was easy to get someone’s attention. One thing is they have some not so common names on the menu like «act like a Korean», which was spicy ribs lol or «fat ass» marinated pork belly.
Another change is no dessert, which they had before … but I’m ok with that. We are usually way too stuffed to fit in dessert.
Also if you never been to AYCE Korean BBQ be prepared to smell like it all the way home … hahaha

Not bad, Hwaro!
I’ll be honest, the first time I came to Hwaro I left before ordering… Due to an «unfortunate circumstance» they were not serving any alcohol. I was with two of my Korean friends who wanted soju and were very disappointed they couldn’t order alcohol. We left and ventured off to Woonamjung’s further down Spring Mountain for AYCE KBBQ and multiple bottles of soju.
I was bummed about leaving because I’ve been wanting to try Hwaro and heard nothing but good things from my Korean coworkers. I finally tried Hwaro this week and was not disappointed!
The salad that comes with the KBBQ tasted average. On the other hand, the banchan was on point! Pretty tasty! A nice variety of side dishes were provided and the servers were nice about replenishing them when requested.
Servers came by our table frequently — at least 4 different people visited throughout our dinner. They were fantastic and quickly fulfilled our requests (water, sauces, additional side dishes, etc). We were never waiting and they even came by to change out our grill.
For meat, I’m all about the brisket and don’t crave anything else (kalbi, bulgogi, pork belly, etc). My friend I was with ordered all sorts of meat selections ranging from cuts of flank steak, intestine, to pork skin. I enjoyed the brisket… It was fatty (which I ate around) but also very tender. The flank was great and the intestine was interesting. I didn’t try the pork skin but my friend enjoyed it. I also didn’t try any of the marinated meat so unfortunately I can’t speak for the kalbi or bulgogi.
Hwaro gets 4 stars from me. The banchan and prompt service gets a 5. Both were much better than some of the Korean AYCE BBQ restaurants I’ve been to in the city. The meat gets a 3.5. I still prefer Tofu Hut as my #1 choice for KBBQ in Las Vegas but enjoyed my experience at Hwaro. I would definitely consider coming back!

I’ve always found myself passing by this place — whether it be because I’m heading to Zen Curry or simply because I’m driving down Spring Mountain. In any case, I never had the urge to actually try this place until I received a text from my boyfriend at midnight saying he wants Korean barbecue.
Tofu Hut is our normal go-​to place for Korean barbecue and it’s always suffice until this very late night.
We walked into Hwaro with empty stomachs, craving and yearning for that delicious Korean barbecue. It was 1:30 in the morning and the waitress welcomed us with open arms. Atlas! A place that wouldn’t turn us away. She did warn us that last call to order anything is at 2:00, so we were determined to get our cravings fulfilled. We placed 3 orders of pork belly, 2 orders of brisket, 1 order of short ribs, and 1 order of their steamed egg soup.
There must have been a miscommunication with the pork belly because we only got 2 strips, but that didn’t even bother us because we were in awe at our good their brisket tasted. It was enough for us to order 2 more! Their short ribs were perfectly marinated — enough flavor without making it too sweet. Their steamed egg cannot be matched! It was super fluffy with vegetables included inside. I’m literally salivating at the mere thought.
The environment itself had a very rustic Asian feel to it. I felt like I was in a hut with «rock-​like» walls separating us from the next party. They have a few large sized tables for bigger parties and smaller sized tables for parties of 4 or less. In comparison to Tofu Hut, this place seems bigger.
We ended up leaving this restaurant, fully set that this place has now become our late night spot for Korean barbecue.

Love this joint.
$ 20 for all you can eat. ***Do not over order; they will charge for excess ordering.***
Tip: Be ready to order fast. They all seem to be in a rush here. That seems to be the general attitude in a lot of the restaurants in China Town.
We ordered:
Marinated Sliced Ribeye
Sweet & Spicy Pork
Pork Belly
Enoki Beef
Act Like Korean
First off, there was just two of us. It was WAY too much food. We ate the majority of it, but we were INSANELY full. I had to unbutton AND unzip my pants. But, this was all good meat. It’s not like this crazy high quality of meat, but it’s well worth the $ 20 you spend.
Best part — it is super fun to cook your own meat to get it to your liking. This is a perfect place for a date night if you’re both looking for something new and fun. WARNING: you will smell like you’ve been grilling meat all night. And you WILL smell of garlic. Some people dig it.

Yeah yeah yeah, new kbbq place, new hype.
It was cool while it lasted!
At first I heard a lot of good about this place. Made me super excited to come and eat here! Everyone said it was the newest, bestest, yummiest you could get here in Vegas… me thinks not.
It wasn’t anything special to me and didn’t really stand out. The meat was just eh, and some of it was pretty gross. Not to mention the weird hair that was on our meat and the multiple bugs I found on the floor near our table and the spiders in the bathroom. EEK!!!
Wouldn’t find myself here again when I’ve had better. Sorry Hwaro.
