Howoo

7.1/10Korean

AI-generated summary

This is the upscale people pick when they can't get into Cote, and reservations are much easier. The meat sets draw the most praise, especially the wagyu cuts, and the private rooms come with no upcharge. Banchan is hit or miss, and a few people recently got wrong dishes and the wrong check.

  • our server was probably the most attentive server I've ever met at a KBBQ place, didnt rush, used one arm to constantly adjust the temp of the grill while spinning the grill around with their other arm to get an consistent even sear.

  • I had a pretty bad experience with Howoo’s service (bringing us the wrong items/coursing items incorrectly,, bringing us the wrong check at the end of dinner, confusion with our reservation with the hostess)

  • I felt like I got more value at Howoo. I think I’d stick with Yoon Hauendae if I just want KBBQ, but Howoo is a great option for occasions, or if you just felt like being fancy on a budget.

  • replying to u/TheClownKid: Nubiani is consistently the best to me. Trying Hyun and Howoo soon. But I’ve tried the rest, none come close to Nubiani for value, authenticity, selection, and quality.

    Got the elite package and the meat was absolutely the best I’ve ever had. Banchan all delicious too and they refill them for free

  • I got the Howoo Elite and was very disappointed. Also thought Howoo’s banchans were not good at all.

  • replying to u/Electrical_Grab_6788: Ok, looks like it's going to be between Howoo and Nubiani. Disregarding price which one would you say has better food? service/ambiance?

    Howoo is def a step above Nubiani, a bit moodier / upscale ambiance. Both great though.

  • replying to u/air-: Win Son Bakery > Win Son Have a look at Howoo or Nubiani instead of Cote > are there any craft beer places that aren't limited to one brewery for us to try other breweries from the US? Something like Torst? Torst is a good idea, also see Carmine Street or Proletariat - beer bars in general get a wide variety and you can go through untappd for menus, you should tip at bars as well

    Ate at Howoo two days ago and liked it better than Cote.
