FAQ
Questions we're asked.
The questions we hear most from guests looking for Korean BBQ in Hongdae. For anything else, please feel free to get in touch.
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 +82-10-2556-5144. 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) 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) is the same set with the aged tenderloin swapped for 100 g of snowflake sirloin. If you would rather pick by cut, the premium, gourmet and special assortments (400 g each) can also be ordered as 200 g half portions.
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 · 06What 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 and Korean traditional spirits chosen to go with Hanwoo: three ‘Dameun’ premium unpasteurised makgeolli made with same-day milled rice and no additives, Korean premium distilled spirits including Ilpoom Jinro 25, Hwayo 25, Igangju, Seoseol, Munbaeju and Andong Soju, and classic, Earl Grey and wine highballs.
Q · 07Are there foreign-language menus? Is it comfortable for tourists?
Hanwoodaum Hongdae Main Branch offers service in several languages and attentive hospitality, so visitors from abroad can eat without any difficulty. Menus in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese make it easy to find what you want, and because trained staff grill the Hanwoo at your table, you never have to handle the grill yourself. Even if this is your first Korean BBQ, you can enjoy the natural flavour of Hanwoo at ease.
