Description

The service at Han Kang is laughingly friendly, the room casual, the menu authentically Korean, and the food an absolute treat for anyone looking to move beyond the sweet-and-sour cardboard and dull noodles of more Americanized Asian fare. The menu is large and the portions overwhelming, but the very best dishes are the small plates of salads, snacks and appetizers that accompany every meal. Well, those and the table-grilled slabs of bacon. Or the spicy crab soup. Or the ginseng-chicken soup�....

2012 | Best Korean Restaurant

A one-mile strip of Havana offers a quick tour of Korean food, but Han Kang should be your ultimate destination. Although almost everything on the menu is good and comes with an impressive number of sides to mix and match until you create a perfectly balanced meal, the barbecue is the real draw. Request a table on the tented platform, where your party can gather around a sizzling grill and cook your chosen chunks of meat -- marinated with kick of ginger, a hit of garlic, the ambrosial...

2009 | Best BBQ Bacon

Bacon is already cured. In some cases, it's even smoked before it ever makes it to your table. So why not barbecue it again, Korean style At Han Kang, a big plate of raw bacon, cut into easy-to-eat chunks, is brought to the table with one of those propane-fired portable grills. Throw on the pork, let it cook, and prepare to pig out. (The menu says this is a dish for sharing, but if you've ever wanted to eat an entire pound of bacon by yourself, Han Kang is definitely the place.) A bowl of... More »
2008 | Best Barbecued Bacon

Han Kang seems to give away more food than it charges for -- what with all the garnishes, sides, sauces and snacks that come free with every meal at this traditional Korean joint. While English is definitely a second language here, you can easily get yourself fed by just pointing, nodding and doing a little pantomime. And be sure you point to the line on the menu that offers barbecued bacon -- as a side dish! You'll get a platter of sliced slabs of pink and fatty pork belly, which... More »
2007 | Best Korean Restaurant

At many Korean restaurants, the food seems like an endless repetition of grilled beef, rice, onions and the occasional egg. But at Han Kang, that's just where the food begins. The best dishes on this menu are those that are nearly unpronounceable -- deeply flavored soups, spicy seafoods, mounds of bright vegetables and proteins tossed together in endless combinations. And then there's the procession of sides that comes with every meal, the most recognizable of which is kimchee (identifiable... More »
2004 | Best Korean Restaurant

Han Kang sits in a strip mall next to a piano lounge. It's cool, quiet and, if not exactly dignified, then certainly muffled with smiling, soft-footed servers working the room and a giant TV kept to a murmur. The noisiest thing about the place is the food -- everything bubbling and sloshing -- and the splashy mural of an impressionistic Denver skyline that runs the length of one wall. The other three are usually papered with dozens of sheets of colored construction paper carefully filled... More »

Han Kang's galbi is reason to return

By Laura Shunk | Fri, October 7, 2011

A one-mile strip of Havana out in Aurora can pretty much cure any craving you might have for Korean food, so after making the sad discovery that Sae Jong Kwan, one of my favorite restaurants in Denver... More »

As evidenced by the strange but incredibly successful tapas menu being done izakaya-style at Izakaya Den (see review), the Japanese know a thing or two about small plates. But other Asian cuisines have taken to the notion of little tastes of sever... More »
Perfect Landing

I ran out of books on Father's Day. I read fast, so this happens a lot, but like a drunk who always keeps a fresh bottle on hand for when his current one runs low, I like to have another book in the pipeline before I hit the last chapter. This tim... More »

Han Kang Korean Restaurant is a family-owned & operated restaurant with 20 years' experience cooking homemade family recipes. Freshness is everything with Korean cuisine. You taste the raw, bare, spicy flavors you get only when something is brought straight from the stovetop to the table.

Some of the best Korean food in the area. Each meal comes with assorted kimchi and generous portions. Don't miss the signature soups.
