We have enjoyed creating a tradition of eating at Han Woo Ri before we go weeknight grocery shopping. It is our way of romanticizing a mundane activity. At this restaurant, the service and attention to detail make us feel welcomed and cared for. I have a food allergy to beef and pork, and the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure my meal is allergen free. They also bring us unlimited amounts of kimchi, probably more kimchi than one should consume on a daily basis. We love the environment in the restaurant and in the entire building of shops. Thank you for making our weeknights more fun!

A Lexington staple! I've been coming here for over a decade and there isn't a bad thing on the menu, although I usually order the spicy bulgogi, bibimbop, or steamed dumplings. They used to have great sushi, too! Quality food and great portions at a very reasonable price. Complimentary kimchi and miso soup with each meal. Small restaurant but the service is always fast and friendly. Highly recommend checking it out!

I love this place! I've been multiple times and each time its been absolutely amazing. The service has always been wonderful, as well as the food. Its super cute in there and nice. Last time I went I got the kimchi dumplings and they were steamy, spicy, chewy and delicious. I've also had the soft shell crab before, its amazing. Ive also had the soon doo boo and its probably my favorite. It's a spicy seafood soup. I love the kimchi they have there it's one of my favorite things and it comes with every meal. I will always recommend this place its so good.

Decided to give this a try, problem with restaurants around UK is that they are usually over priced. I felt like this restaurant was not too expensive for what was provided. The restaurant is small but quiet, will wrought space between tables. Servers are very attentive to take your order, bring out food and drinks and to take away finished plates. Staff were very friendly. The kimchi and soup was nice starter, kimchi had good amount of spice, cucumber was refreshing. The soup had more flavor than usual. The soup was hot as heck, give it a second to cool down. The flavor was good and really enjoyed the egg, adding to creaminess with the tofu. I had mussels and shrimp. The shrimp was slightly over cooked. The mussels were a bit more fishy that usual. But over was tasty dish. The cinnamon iced tea was good, not sure if refills are provided or cost extra as it was not offered. But food did come out quickly.
