One of the best Korean food we have in the OJ. Found this place and we have been ordered over and over again because we just cannot stop thinking about this place. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

Great Korean lunch for a great price! The bossam bento was so filling and came with so many authentic sides. I agree with the other reviews that the flavor isn't as punchy but rather a little sweeter, but I enjoyed this about the food. Considering the variety of all the side dishes in the bento, the courteous service, the hot tea I was served, and the clean interior, this place checks all the boxes for a great Korean lunch place.

The dosirak lunch is very tasty. Price is on the higher side but I think they lowered their price because I saw the pic price for spicy pork bento is 23.50 but I paid $17. Comes with soup, several banchan and fried shrimp, mandu and seaweed roll, and salad. Forgot to take picture because I was so hungry.

We've been exploring the Lake Forest area more as they have a wide range of Asian food at a reasonable price you can't find around Mission Viejo. Hubby has a list of places to try and we made our way here to Hanbop. The menu boasts a wide range of categories from main entrees, special entrees, lunch specials, Korean street foods, Hanbop Rolls and side orders. Our first visit included the Mul Naengmyeon Combo with Kalbi, Padak and Egg Roll. The cold noodles were garnished with cucumbers, pickled radish, and hard boiled egg. They offer to cut the noodles and provide vinegar and mustard to season the broth if you choose. Super refreshing on a hot summer day and an exceptional pairing with the grilled kalbi. Hubby got the egg roll gimbap and padak as his meal. The padak is fried chicken seasoned with a sweet soy sauce and shredded green onions. The egg roll looks like an omelet with a cut of spam and pickled radish. Very simple meal and his go-to meal every visit. On our second visit, I gave their dolpan bibimbap a try since I was craving that crispy rice crust from their sizzling hot skillet. I chose the octopus as the protein, but I was pretty disappointed by the texture and flavor. The bibimbap was stacked with shredded carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, beansprouts and egg yolk. After mixing in the sauce and letting the rice sit, it was a little too greasy/oily for my preference and didn't get the scorched rice I was anticipating. As it gets cooler, I think I'll give their soondubu and galbitang a try. Can't wait to go back.

Wow I just tied HanBop Korean Cuisine and it is SO Delicious . I ordered the lunch Salmon box that comes with a small salad, a fried shrimp, dumpling and a friend roll. Also two pieces of a sunshine roll, white rice and pickled garlic . Also some amazing soup. They server the best kimchi I've ever had. I highly recommend HanBop and can't wait to bring my family here. 5 starts hand down! It's also a very cute place and very clean. Amazing customer service

I've been here a few times and it always hits the spot. We ordered the Galbi & Tofu soup and the Galbi lunch special which is a great deal at $18.99 . You get Galbi, rolls, tempura, salad, rice, and soup. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The spot was okay. They checked on us twice. The Kimchi and potato salad were really good. Overall, it was a good experience with satisfying amount of food.

While visiting my mom and looking for a place to eat I found this place. They had steamed egg which was the criteria we were working with for a Korean place so it was exciting! Hanbop is a good sized restaurant the likes of which I would find in K-Town in LA so already I was certain this was going to be good. Easy menu, comfort foods and street food takes all really decently priced. Deciding to be adventurous we decided to share a Rose Ddeok-Boki and an Egg Kimbap and have our own steamed eggs. Starting with the familiar, the steamed egg was a listed as a side dish and though small don't mistake that this was tiny in flavor. Seasoned well, little salty, very eggy but with that satisfying taste of a savory dish twice its size. This is always a favorite and didn't disappoint in a new restaurant. The Rose Ddeok-bokki is a dish I've always wanted to try but was always nervous about. Honestly I wish I had tried it sooner but I'm so glad we tried it today. Sweet, savory, and mild thickness in broth (sauce?) made for a delectable base both comforting and addicting. The rice cakes were cooked perfectly through and while not a favorite for my mom in the past was something she now could get behind, and the fish cakes was her first introduction and one she'll be happy to have more of in the future. This was a perfect comfort food to share dish. Lastly the Egg Kimbap (Egg roll on the menu), normally comes with spam, however our server was kind enough to take the spam out since mom's a vegetarian. This had everything a good Kimbap should, rice and crunchy veg and the soft sweet egg that tasted like a cold thin version of our steamed egg dishes. Happily would order this again and I would recommend for any vegetarians wanting to try to remember to just ask if they can take the spam out. The Banchan was perhaps the only meh part of the entire meal, the kimchi was lacking something most others I've had, had. Not sure what it was but it was just missing something. And the potato salad was bland in comparison to the dishes we had, and lacked corn but that's a personal favorite for me. That said my mom loved the pickled celery and jalapeño, spicy but that crunchy celery freshness was an addicting starter for her and she liked the blandness of the potato salad as it served as a palate cleanser between bites. Still, the service was outstanding, prompt and kind and ready to answer questions or accommodate and the restaurant was clean, modern and spaced out (a personal preference) with comfortable seating. And parking is a breeze with how many spaces there are. Happily I would come back again!

There aren't many Korean spots in South Orange County, but after today, HanBop just might become my go-to. HanBop had been on my list for a while... but they hooked me at "kimchi fried rice." (I'm a sucker for a delicious bowl of kimchi fried rice. It truly is a comfort food for me.) Store front - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=Bhy665P0eExZKH9SqamT_Q From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and promptly seated. I already knew what I wanted: spicy pork and, of course, that kimchi fried rice! The service was quick, and my food arrived within 15 minutes, hot and fresh. HanBop's menu offers great value, especially for lunch. With few Korean restaurants nearby, HanBop is a standout choice, and I'm excited to have found a new go-to spot for satisfying Korean comfort food. I arrived just before 2 p.m., and aside from a small group finishing their lunch, the place was nice and quiet. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the restaurant is well-lit, making it a comfortable spot for a casual lunch or dinner. I ordered the Spicy Pork Lunch Special ($17.50), which came with white rice, a light soup, salad, and a variety of banchan (side dishes). The spicy pork was tender, flavorful, and had just the right kick. For the price, the portion size was generous, and the assortment of sides made it a well-rounded meal.

The rice and sunny side up egg were perfectly cooked, with a rich kimchi flavor that hit all the right notes. It's definitely something I'd come back for.

It was also tasty! Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=dECLrV7J4zVUhRsQFiflyw HanBop is a hidden gem for Korean food lovers in South Orange County. If you're in the area and craving solid Korean fare, HanBop is definitely worth a visit! I'm looking forward to my next visit and want to try the Hwe Dup Bap.
