hae kum gang

much hyped place. not at all authentic. i will recommend to go kamanahalli area for better korean taste. i will not recommend this place for korean cuisine enthusiast, else they will stop liking kofood. want to give 0 star.

never had food so bad that it was pretty much inedible. they ruined bibimbap, which is probably the easiest korean dish out there, so much that i couldn't manage to finish even half of the bowl. it just tasted horrible. not sure how this place is rated up so high, i've been to many korean diners but this is not it.

the food was really very good. we reached early and got a place but the place was packed in no time. there were only 2 staff and service was super slow especially if you order the platter.

now it’s a duplicate korean restaurant. totally disappointed and disgusted with the food. visited this place after years, food was horrible. polite service but very delayed. after waiting for a long time they served us food that was below standard. first taste of kimchi had me questioning this place. should have cancelled rest of my orders right away. and whole dining experience spoilt with spoilt stale food. earlier it was an authentic korean restaurant almost fine dining but now after tasting food here i feel instant noodles tastes better than what was served here, that too served in plastic bowls and plates now. even after informing them the food was not good, they were least concerned and didn’t even acknowledge instead just made sure the bill was paid. they didn’t even give a glass of water. not worth any stars zero!!

we used to love this place. everything about it. now it’s a shabby, dirty place where the staff just doesn’t care. everything we ordered was bad. looked like they used maggi or some packaged noodles. ridiculous.

hae kum gang well lived to it's expectations with food. we ordered bibimpap and a mushroom veggie with pork with it's sides. it was the most fulfilling and amazing dish i have ever had in my life. not only does the taste of the food impress you, but also the look. i couldn't control my happiness when i saw the meal, and it was pure heaven to sit there and go though that wonderful meal.
also, they gave us complementary watermelon with orange juice, which was amazing. really yummy!
plus, if you like your tiny space to sit and be at, a few seats are placed as such too. the restaurant is on the 2nd floor, and you don't need to be above or atleast 21(it was another place where we ended up almost going in to in the ground floor *facepalm*)
special thanks to the chef who made it all possible.
hope this helps.

this place was strongly recommended by my foodie colleagues and i am glad i did not regret.one of the few places that serve spicy korean food. loved the mandus (korean version of momo) and their seafood broth (my beef eating colleagues are crazy about their beef stew). the noodles are very spicy and will light your tongue on fire while you crave for more. the condiments they offer is very unique (you may skip the stinky kimchee though) and is not served anywhere else in the city. this is as authentic as you can wonder. the ambiance is average- clean, clutter free and hygienic. dont expect it to be like one of those typical fancy cafes. visit it for the 'not so mundane' menu and only if you are a sucker for trying new cuisines. definitely on my must try list

i have been visiting this place for past 2yrs. its always fun to explore from there menu. love seafood ramen, and mandu. love to hangout with friends here.

hae kum gang is one of those rare places in the city serving authentic korean cuisine. have been here twice and have had a lovely experience both the times. the place is infact a non vegetarian's paradise with so many varieties to choose from. and to top it all their portions are huuge and each dish comes with hell lotta accompaniments. i actually love each and every item that i've tried :

- kimbap
- dolsot bibimbap
- jeyuk (pork) chulpan
- kimchi seafood california roll
- mandu (momos)

let me tell you that they have the best california rolls in the city. for the ones who havent explored sushis before i suggest start with their california rolls. it'l set your base for the japanese ones. the flavour of the rice is a bit different from the japanese counterpart & even the size is a bit bigger. the kimchi seafood one that we tried were amazzzing. it had the delectable combination of salmon, tuna, squid & crab. would highly recommend this one. chulpans are the korean version of sizzlers and comes with 6-7 condiments.the stir fried pork along with their inhouse kimchi and sweetened baby potatoes is toothsome. their kimchi tastes different from what we get at the chinese restaurants. it might feel a little pungent in the first bite but works eventually. the bibimbaps are the korean version of rice bowl with meat and lotsa veggies. its actually lighter on the tummy. even their momos (mandu) taste heavenly. one thing which i didn't like was the haemul pajeon. it's a seafood pancake which looks like our good old mughlai paratha but tastes slightly different. the overall dish somehow didn't work for me.
they don't have alcohol but a hot cup of flavourful jasmine tea/ginseng tea is a great option for keeping company. overall, their quality of food is unparalleled. would love to try their donburis & ra myen on my next visit.

sevice gets a little slow if it's crowded. price wise it's a great value for money for the portions they offer. a hearty meal for two would come within 1500/-

great job team hae kum gang.

over all review-💐
food-4/5
ambience- 3/5
staff-4/5
price 3/4

we dined at hae kum gang saturday night for dinner. the ambience is slightly over done and seems a bit out of place in bangalore but it definitely adds to the korean theme.
we ordered bibimbap, the ice cold soba noodles and avocado california roll. every table is provided with their 6 complimentary side dishes. the food was truly amazing. the food seemed very authentic and each dish was flavourful. despite being vegetarian we really enjoyed ever bit of the meal. hope to visit again soon.

it is a nice and cosy place. though it does talk about being an authentic korean restaurant, the interiors are no different than any normal indian restaurant. we ordered kim bap and soondubu. both were pretty good and the side dishes were great too. but the quantity of the side dishes was far too less, added to that the rice with soondubu was less too. hungry, we ended up ordering the rameyeon and mandu combo. however, the rameyeon tasted like maggie noodles and the mandu was the usual momos we could get at a street vendor. though i liked the place i left a little disappointed.

best korean restaurant and i recommend others to come and try it out....you won't regret it because for those who are interested in korean food should come and try it out..
😊✌️☺️

love the pan asian food over here. price, quality and quantity all justified.
service also fast and people are good. tuna sushi and pork set dish are mindblowing. they serve only wine based cocktails but it's worth it!!
