Handam BBQ: Reviews & Ratings

We had the $35 AYCE options and came with good quality meat, especially 3 types of galbi. The galbi were thick cut and not too much fat. The hanger steak and pork belly were good as well. Only 2 appetizers were included for 4 people, but they were a good size. We had tteokbokki and corn cheese; the corn cheese had too much cheese. There were a good variety of banchans, okay quality but they had a refill cart come around often. Service was great! Friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant had plenty of seating. They also use charcoal, which I like. I would come back here, and would recommend it.

I have been here 3 times since writing this review so obviously I am biased and love this place. It's hard to gauge when they're going to be busy honestly but the get in line online is convenient but also not super accurate. The first time I went they told us our table was ready but we still waited 45min at the restaurant, the second time we had a large party of 10 so we were able to make reservations, and the third time it was a saturday night and they said the wait was 50min and we ended up not making it there in time since it decreased down to only 20min but no complaints there since that's our fault! The meats here are seasoned really well and the AYCE option is always great. They have a $30 and a $35 option which has LA galbi and includes two appetizers. I love their sides as well! There is a fried tofu side that is so yummy, the chicken karage is also good but the japchae was a little bland. The vibes are really nice and service is fairly quick on most nights. I would definitely recommend this place and take friends from out of town here often. We came once for my cousins birthday and they sing to you and give you a giant sparkler!

Great service! This place gives the most ban chans/ side dishes I've seen so far. Quite a variety from 2 diff types of salads, greens, kimchi, chicken nuggets, fried tofu, broccoli (my fave) and much other. With the $35 AYCE, you also get to choose 2 diff types of apps included with the pricing. We got the dumplings and steamed egg. There were also other choices like ttebokki and seafood pancake and Kimchi stew. My fave meats was the pork jowl and galbi and bulgogi. They also have diff flavor sojus, fave brand is jinro and they did have the grapefruit flavored one. Service was great, they made sure our water jug was filled and changed the grill a good amount of times and provided extra napkins. Parking - within the plaza Tuesdays evenings are not busy.

This place was great! Def one of my favorite AYCE KBBQ spot in Houston. I thought the meat quality was good. They have cheesy corn which I love and the amount of sides they give you is amazing!!! If you order 2 of their premium AYCE you will get an extra appetizer, and the appetizer will vary on the day. Overall, I really liked this place and tell all my friends about it.

Excellent all around. Quick and attentive service, they'll keep track and change out the grill plate when they sense when it's needed. Food comes out fast The Bonchan is plentiful They have a la carte and all you can eat options For the all you can eat option, they you can pick two appetizers, and they'll bring you a special of the day So much food, so great value. Recommend brining multiple people to try all the types of meats

One of the best kbbq ayce (all you can eat) options in Houston. There is a good variety of options and it's $30 for a smaller amount of options or $35 for the full set. They both include a huge assortment of side dishes which are all just decent but you can get refills of any pretty much at any time. My favorite would have to be the pink pickled daikon radish. It helps cut the fattiness of the meat. I wish the grills were a little more oiled or if they provided something (fat etc.) for us to oil it ourselves. We had some sticking and burning because of that. Also there is an extra menu with other sides that you can order. You can pick 2 items with the full set price, but honestly none of them really caught my eye. We ended up getting the cheesy Tteokbokki but it was average and not worth filling the space in your stomach. It also took about 20 mins to come out. The waiters/waitresses are friendly and willing to help. And didn't have to wait too long for a party of 3 at 6:50pm on a Saturday night since I got on the waitlist 15 mins prior. Overall left feeling satisfied and very full.

Came here on NYE for dinner and it wasn't crowded. The restaurant is big and has plenty of seatings. The manager who waited on my party was helpful and kind. My party opted for the $30 buffet. Upon sitting down, we were given 4 different sauces each, and were served 12 sides dishes ranging from kimchi to salad to japchae. Most side dishes were either pickled or spicy (very mild spice level). Our favorite was the japchae. We couldn't stop eating it. There was a lady who pushed a cart around the restaurant to top up the side dishes. We ordered our favorite meats which are sweet garlic pork belly, ribeye bulgogi, pork belly, sliced beef belly, and pork shoulder. We all agreed that the ribeye bulgogi was our favorite. The meats were all seasoned well and tasted fresh. I like this restaurant because they use charcoals. Cooking meats using charcoal will have a better taste, and when you charred the meats, the burned parts taste super good. I love this restaurant because I don't get bbq smell on my hair nor on my clothes after dining there! The buffet is only limited to 2hrs but it was a sufficient time for my party. Kids under the age of 10 eat for free. Kids above 10 years old will be charged half price. Soda drinks are not free flow here. A table of 4 only has one bbq spot. It would be better if there are 2 so that more meats could be cooked at the same time.

This is one of my favorite Korean BBQ joints in town. What sets them apart from all of the others? The charcoal! Most of the other places in town just use gas and with the charcoal you can really taste the extra flavor in all of the meats. Your meal starts out with the banchan cart which is packed full of sides. They do not hold back on their offerings. You get everything! And the service here is great, they do not frown when you ask for more. They offer all you can eat AYCE for $35. Their meat selection is quite expansive. My favorites were the ribs, ribeye bulgolgi and the thin cut pork belly.
