Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sy W
Authentic Korean food with generous portion and reasonable price. Small intestine pot was really delicious. The pig feet is def more spicy than we thought so just be prepared for that. But once u got a hang of the spicy, immediately fell in love with it. Parking is easy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — J P
I picked up Gamjatang to-go a couple times from here, and it didn’t disappoint. Will be back to dine-in one day. Staff was always courteous.
Easy parking in the free lot right outside the restaurant.

Service:
Staff was very kind, welcoming and attentive.

Serving sizes are more for traditional family style eating.
The Jukbal was cold. I know it's shipped to the restaurant precut but they could at least serve it hot after all it is a hot dish. The stir-fried squid was very well executed. The squid silver skin was not taken off, but this is to be expected from most establishments. It's inedible though so I find myself taking it off as I eat. The dumplings, tofu soup were very good. The bulgogi was tender and juicy.
I went with a group of friends and we had a great time. There are many fishes I'd like to try again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Daile Renz Bello
Food was great! I got the yukgaejang, it was spicy, comforting and homey. They gave me a lot of side dishes as well. I highly recommend getting their dinner set. Service was nice and inviting. The atmosphere was very clean. I also love the ambiance. Their food is homestyle with generous servings. Will definitely come back here with friends
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Vicky Lee
We decided to give Haewadall another shot and it has turned a new leaf. The jokbal was soft and tender and freshly made; good quality. The bossam was also soft and naturally sweet; albeit not as naturally sweet nor as tender as the first year it opened (I remember wanting to eat the bossam as is without sauces). It did have a slight pig smell but not repulsive at all.
I would definitely go back and order both dishes again.
It seems like it’s starting to build back up the older Korean clientele (which are the best judges/most critical). The side dishes were pretty good.
Service was also good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — b k
I often come here, and every dish is super delicious. The service was very attentive, the only downside was that it was too far from my home by car for 59 minutes. But they will still come often.
