Korean Dining Han Chef / Tokyo Shimokitazawa Store Tabelog 3.07✔︎ HAN-CHEF Course 4,500 yen You can enjoy authentic Korean cuisine made by a Korean chef at this restaurant. The first dish is a salad with a special dressing that is delicious and has a jelly-like texture. Next is Kanjang Seu, a dish with shrimp miso and minced shrimp that is incredibly tasty. The main dish is Chef's special selection of Ginseng Chicken Soup, with tender chicken and a flavorful broth that is very satisfying. Then, we had Tofu with Oysters, a dish that can only be ordered a la carte. The large oysters and generous amount of minced meat in a rich broth made this dish incredibly delicious. I wanted to eat it with rice. For dessert, we had cold noodles with apple, which was refreshing and had firm noodles that were very tasty. We also had a premium Makgeolli, a Korean rice wine, which was dry and paired well with the Korean cuisine. The plates and cups were unique and added to the wonderful dining experience. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Korean cuisine always seemed to me like a variety of dishes such as Samgyeopsal, Cheese Dakgalbi, and Hatbokki, where you can be satisfied with just one item, so I didn't have a clear image of a course meal. This time, I used a lunch set, but I definitely want to make a course reservation next time!! The deliciousness, appearance, and quality of the plates really drew me in! The staff were also kind, and you could feel the thought behind the shop's concept, making it even better. The shop is on the 3rd floor, and it has a hidden gem-like feel as you have to pass through the 2nd floor apparel store to get there! The quiet atmosphere is also nice!

The owner of the restaurant is a Chinese university graduate who is Korean and runs a Korean restaurant in Japan. I have only ever eaten home-cooked Korean food before, so it was my first time trying what seemed like a high-end Korean cuisine. The Bibimbap was impressive, with a Korean dish that felt like French cuisine, beautifully presented without being ruined, almost too beautiful to eat.

A shop that opened in Shimokitazawa around the end of last year. The location and target audience make it a challenging battle. The Sundubu ordered for lunch was very flavorful and delicious, although the spiciness was quite mild. Unfortunately, they mentioned that they cannot adjust the spiciness at the moment. It's a matter of personal preference, but if they could make it a bit spicier, it would be perfect. I'll try going there at night next time.

The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of a building that requires climbing stairs. I chose the Punchan set with Takkalbi and Cheyupokkum, each priced at 1200 yen. The set includes a Punchan plate, soup, and Kanpan for dessert. The spiciness levels range from 0-2, but I found it to be mildly spicy. I asked for extra chili peppers and they made it into a sauce for me. The location might be a bit challenging to find, but the food is delicious and the concept of course-style Korean cuisine is interesting. The lunch menu also offers good value for money.

We wanted to eat delicious Korean food, so seven of us visited this place. It was located on the third floor above a vintage clothing store. The Yangnyeom chicken was amazing, especially when paired with Makgeolli beer. The intestine stuffed with glass noodles dipped in salt was also delicious. The presentation of the Bibimbap was beautiful. The Saran beer we had was a Weissbier style, which seemed more authentic Korean flavor rather than catered to Japanese taste. One of my friends was sweating a lot from the spiciness. I heard that they have a different menu for lunch, so I would like to try that too. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Today, I went to a Korean restaurant in Shimo-Kitazawa. I thought it would be crowded, so I lined up before it opened, but it wasn't busy at all. I ordered the Bibimbap, which had a unique presentation. It was quite delicious, with a taste somewhat similar to chirashi sushi. The kimchi was very spicy, but the soup was a bit bland. The Bibimbap itself was tasty, but the balance with the side dishes was lacking.

The restaurant is very clean and the dishes are beautifully presented. Everything I tried was delicious. My top 3 favorites are dishes that you can't find in Shin-Okubo. The flavors are very authentic, and they even have some very spicy options for those seeking a kick. If you're looking for a place with authentic and unique dishes, you should definitely check this place out.

I had the lunch course. I forgot to take a picture of the main dish, Cheyuk Bokkeum. The rice was carefully made, the dishes were beautiful, and it was delicious. I will visit again.

The rice was delicious and I had a wonderful time. I thought the staff's hospitality was amazing. They checked in on us for more drinks and adjusted the air conditioning. I would love to go back to this restaurant again! Thank you!

The course is interesting, but all the meals are lacking. The seasoning seems weak and the overall flavor is mediocre. The service is good from the owner, but lacking from others. It may sound harsh, but the location on the 3rd floor is hard to find and the taste is also lacking.

I was impressed by the polite and detailed service of the staff at the restaurant. I could feel their passion for the food, and it was delicious.

It tastes great and looks visually appealing. It has a fusion-style Korean cuisine with a Korean bar atmosphere.

Sundubu set meal

Enjoy a new sensation of Korean cuisine at "KOREAN DINING HAN-CHEF Shimokitazawa", where you can indulge in a course meal experience. Located just a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station on the Odakyu Line and Keio Inokashira Line, this restaurant opened on November 12 in the evolving neighborhood of Shimokitazawa. As you climb the stairs of a building in the lively shopping district near the station, you will find a chic and sophisticated restaurant. In Japan, Korean cuisine is often associated with affordable and approachable dining. However, at HAN-CHEF, you can savor each dish individually in a course style, paired with champagne or wine for a delightful dining experience. The courses are priced at 8,800 yen, 7,150 yen, and 5,500 yen, offering a modern twist on traditional Korean flavors. The menu includes unique dishes such as "Bossam Kimchi" with slowly steamed pork and Chef's special raw kimchi, "Homemade Naengmyeon" with a refreshing taste, and "Authentic Ginseng Samgyetang" fragrant with Korean ginseng and jujube. The 7,150 yen and 8,800 yen courses also feature items like "Kanjang Seu" (raw marinated shrimp) that can be enjoyed in one bite without getting your hands dirty. During a tasting event, we sampled recommended dishes and red wine from the 8,800 yen course. The first dish we tried was the "Chef's Selection Jeon", a dish made by coating seasonal ingredients in egg and flour and then baking them. The dish featured shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, and Nasu with a spicy-sweet sauce and natural salt. Next, we enjoyed the "Chef's Special Bossam & Raw Kimchi", which consisted of carefully steamed select pork wrapped in perilla and sesame leaves. The Chef's special raw oyster kimchi was a seasonal limited edition dish that was a perfect match with perilla leaves, Sanche, and Sanmu (pickled radish). The low-temperature cooked pork was tender and moist, and the raw oyster kimchi was exceptional. The "HAN-CHEF Original Bibimbap" was a vegetable-rich bibimbap with layers of shiitake mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots, ground meat, and rice topped with quail egg. It was served with red bibimbap sauce and green perilla and walnut sauce, providing a colorful presentation. The bibimbap sauce, which is an authentic Korean flavor, was enhanced with a hint of miso. The perilla and walnut perilla sauce offered a refreshing taste. For dessert, we enjoyed the "Hongsi", a popular homemade aged persimmon from Korea with a smooth texture. The "Korean-style Honey Beauty Tea" with Korean ginseng and honey had a gentle flavor and is believed to have detoxifying effects. The restaurant's ambiance is reminiscent of an adult hideaway, making it suitable for dates, girls' nights out, and special occasions. While walk-in orders are possible, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance when visiting. Indulge in this Korean cuisine course that promises not just a delicious meal, but also a beautiful experience from the inside out. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
