HANKI — Restaurant in Barcelona

I don't recall giving 5 stars to any restaurants before because I always think that there must be an aspect that they can improve but trust me if I tell you that this one really deserves it. I discovered the Hanki restaurant last year when I was looking for Korean food places in BCN and gave it a try and from that time, I can't count the number of my visits anymore! First of all, let's talk about how their staff are simply the best : Everyone from the people inside the kitchen to the people outside of it greet you when you are getting to the restaurant and when leaving it! They are so helpful and friendly and are making sure that you get the best experience ever (They will explain to you how you can eat their dishes and even make recommendations following your tastes). Second, the ambiance: I just love that they have an internal patio that looks so cozy and with several plants, away from the noise of the city and pollution. I also love how they turn on the little lamps when it starts getting dark which only adds an additional touch to this hygge feeling. Third, the food is to live for! My fav dish of all times is the bibimbap classic! Can never get enough of it. Also the quality is 100% and the price is very affordable. I will continue being Hanki's loyal customer and will absolutely recommend it to everyone...

Edit to reply the owner: I went to Hanki with 2 friends around a month before i wrote this. They ordered japchae, i only ordered dessert. I couldn't even break it, it was still a complete piece. My friends saw it. Then the waiter reheated in the microwave ( he was kind, not about him, but about your service of satisfaction). Again, I thought they would replace it. Because they didn't, I thought they would give a discount, but no. It is too expensive for a...

A pleasant discovery. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated and well managed. The food is home made, fresh and different so it's a real dinning experience. The atmosphere is good. Service is excellent. Everything we tried including sauces were tasty. The house wine was fine too. The food could be warmer and the portions a bit bigger. There's no access for the mobility impaired or to the rear garden. Covid-19 controls could be better. Overall at just over 20€ per person it's reasonable value for money and with attention to details like serving the food hot etc...
