This place is always full, reservation recommended. We selected the traditional seating option. You need to remove your shoes and head in. There is a niche under each table to hang your feet or one can chose to sit cross legged. The format is traditional style dining experience. We ordered the pancake platter which was the best out of all the dishes, veggies + tofu, tofu kimchi hot pot. It was a good experience.

Really enjoyed my visit here! I got the Jr Emperor lunch prixe fixe. Overall I really enjoyed the flavors and the ambience. The tofu soup was delicious, and the spicy eggplant was perfectly fried with balanced pairings. I would say to not expect traditional Korean food though. Contrary to the decor and traditional feel of the restaurant, they blend a lot of styles and cuisines. I still enjoyed my experience overall and the dishes were quite tasty.

As you step inside, you’re greeted by a gracious and attentive staff who guide you through the ritual of removing your shoes—a symbol of the calming, almost meditative atmosphere that defines this cozy retreat. The seating, reminiscent of traditional Korean style with heated floors, ensures that your feet stay toasty, enhancing the feeling of being at home in such an inviting space.

The culinary offerings are nothing short of exceptional. I indulged in the Mongolian Hot Pot, a dish that balanced bold flavors with subtlety and depth—truly delightful. Hangawi is the kind of place perfect for any occasion: whether you're planning an intimate date night, a relaxing evening with close friends, or a peaceful solo retreat, it effortlessly provides an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. Worthy of a visit, it’s an experience that transcends mere dining and becomes a moment of quiet indulgence.

This is elevated Korean vegan food. I really enjoy the beautiful presentation, the floral design of the food! It tastes light, subtle and hearty. i love the traditional Korean design of the space. You have to take off your shoes upon entering the restaurant.  Don’t be fooled by the serene and zen atmosphere, the food is quite epic!

The food is delicious. The servers are friendly. Best of all is this incredible venue. We took our shoes off and sat under a table near the floor level to find that the floor was heated. The venue was cozy and romantic and authentic. This is our favorite vegan restaurant we have ever been to and we have waited 2 years to come back here. If you're visiting NYC this should be the first place on your list!!!
