FAQ
Questions we're asked.
The questions we hear most from guests looking for Korean BBQ in Hongdae. For anything else, call us or send an Instagram DM.
Q · 01Where is Hanwoodaum Hongdae Main Branch located?
At 34, Yanghwa-ro 16-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (Seogyo-dong), on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It sits between Hongik Univ. Station (Line 2 · AREX · Gyeongui–Jungang), Sangsu Station (Line 6) and Hapjeong Station (Lines 2 · 6), so it is walkable from any of the three — a convenient spot if you are looking for Korean BBQ in Hongdae.
Q · 02What are the opening hours and last order time?
We open daily, Monday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 23:00, with last order at 22:20. The hours are the same every day with no weekly closing day, so lunchtime Korean BBQ works just as well as dinner.
Q · 03How do I make a reservation?
Book online through Naver Booking or CatchTable (a global version is available), or call +82-10-2872-5144. The same number works as a KakaoTalk contact, and we also take enquiries by Instagram DM (@hanwoodaum_official), LINE, WhatsApp and WeChat (ID: hanwoodaum_hongdae).
Q · 04It's my first visit — what do you recommend?
A set is the easiest way to compare several cuts in one sitting. The Signature Set (600 g, ₩248,000) brings 200 g of 6-week aged tenderloin plus 100 g each of a premium and a gourmet cut, 200 g of two special cuts and truffle short rib pot rice; the Hanwoodaum Set (500 g, ₩198,000) swaps the tenderloin for 100 g of snowflake sirloin. If you would rather pick by cut, the premium, gourmet and special assortments (400 g each, ₩179,000 / ₩159,000 / ₩149,000) are also available as 200 g half portions at ₩89,000 / ₩79,000 / ₩72,000.
Q · 05Do the staff grill the meat for you?
Yes. Trained staff grill the meat at your table and serve each piece at its best, matching the doneness and the order to each cut — so you can enjoy the Korean BBQ without handling the grill yourself.
Q · 06Which rare and special cuts do you serve?
Twelve cuts are served à la carte in 100 g portions. Signature cuts: snowflake sirloin and 6-week aged tenderloin (₩43,000 each, tenderloin ordered for two or more) and freshly marinated charcoal-grilled beef (₩36,000). Premium cuts, available in limited numbers: outside skirt, ribeye cap and chuck flap (₩46,000 each). Gourmet cuts: hanging tender, flap meat and neck chain (₩41,000 each). Special cuts: boneless short rib, flat iron and short plate (₩38,000 each). Each has its own texture, so a set or an assorted platter is the best way to compare them.
Q · 07What drinks do you have? Is corkage allowed?
Corkage is free, so you are welcome to bring your own wine. We also pour a house wine (₩9,000) and Korean traditional spirits chosen to go with Hanwoo: three ‘Dameun’ premium unpasteurised makgeolli made with same-day milled rice and no additives (₩21,000–26,000), Korean premium distilled spirits including Ilpoom Jinro 25, Hwayo 25, Igangju, Seoseol, Munbaeju and Andong Soju (₩25,000–38,000), and classic, Earl Grey and wine highballs (₩8,000 each).
Q · 08Are there foreign-language menus? Is it comfortable for tourists?
The menu on this site is available in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese, so you can check it before you come. Reservations and enquiries are possible through CatchTable Global, LINE, WhatsApp and WeChat, and Hongik Univ. Station connects to Incheon Airport on the AREX line with no transfer — an easy Korean BBQ stop mid-trip.
