Food: Taste lacking, portions plenty

Hak San, known for its Large Intestines dish, reportedly the best in town, along with its Intestine Soup and Gopchang, unfortunately disappoints in the flavor department. Customer reviews reported minimal side dishes and mediocre meats. The freshness of the dishes was also called into question with unappealing smells and tasteless or overly salty side dishes. However, the restaurant does deliver when it comes to portion sizes, serving more than the recommended amounts.

    Generous portions serve more than recommended, customers are satisfied.

  • Okay Taste

    Decent meat quality and flavor, but service speed affected enjoyment

  • Quality

    Meat marinated but bad smelling, side dishes tasteless or too salty.

Vibe: Dated décor, lacking buzz

The ambiance of Hak San offers little of novelty to the overall dining experience. The décor is outdated and the cleanliness of the surroundings was a concern for customers. The restaurant's ambience exudes such an unappealing atmosphere it negatively affects its overall buzz.

  • Aesthetic

    Outdated and dirty ambience detracts from the newness of the restaurant.

Perks: Ample parking, slow service

On the plus side, Hak San provides ample parking, thereby relieving customers from the stress of finding a parking space. The restaurant sees diverse feedback in terms of service – staff are reported to be friendly and attentive, but the slow service can dampen the dining experience. It isn't an ideal choice for dining with kids and larger groups may find their experience hampered by the restaurant's slow service.
