We were invited here by a prominent Korean businessman The staff were very friendly and we ate almost every dish on the menu food just seem to keep coming.
The food was amazing, service was very attentive, ambience was very relaxed, I would throughly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Simply loved the taste of Korea at this great restaurant. We will definite go back with our families & book the private traditional dining area (floor style).
The food was just delicious, packed with flavour & good portion for the well priced options. �
Ordered takeaways.
Bbq chicken 5/5 excellent flavors.
Seafood soondubu 5/5 woooow. All I can say is I recommend you try this.
Looking forward to eating at the restaurant.
Been to this place for more than 8 times to satisfy my craving for Korean foods, yet they never disappoint me once👍 If you have a big appetite for the eyes but not so big for the stomach, make sure you order one dish only as their dish portion is very very generous! Hands down for the soondobu jigae 💯 Perfect remedy for rainy cold days of winter. The fried chicken tenders are a bit pricy for the portion but taste was good. Never forget the banchans, they are just delicious!
As mentioned below, Auckland's hidden Korean gem. We ordered "Hansik Table Course" and the "Sky" set menus. The food was DELICIOUS and there was sooo much... Between 4 of us, we could not finish all the food! My special mentions are the fritters and Marinated Spicy pork main from the "Hansik Table Course". The staff are so friendly, the cost is reasonable and the ambiance is wonderful. 10/10 would recommend!
Everything was great! Staff is amazing, taste of food is really good. Two issues - chicken with skin is a no go, at least for me, and I’d expect bit more small side dishes from a Korean restaurant. Will definitely go back
Stopped by for work lunch with the colleagues and what a treat! Hidden gem alright! Peaceful atmosphere yet buzzing with delicious smells, food being wheeled out on a trolley and warm smiles greeting you! Priced reasonably for lunch! Relaxing but fast service! Never rushed! And could sit and stay not leave! Kimchi soup was five stars! Large servings! Plenty for all.
I am surprised how many hidden wonders do we have here in Auckland, for such a small city there are many places I still yet to discover and try, take this place for example. I would not ever in my whole life would have visited this unless one of my friends told me to lunch out with him at this place.
My favorite Korean restaurant. The place is located on a discreet street in Freeman Bay with plenty of street parking. Inside is spacious and well decorated.
The place offers a good variety of fusion dishes with fresh ingredients and interesting spices.
They have excellent raw food, from sashimi salads to raw beef. The beef carpaccio is exceptional, fresh and well flavored. The salmon salad may be a little too spicy for some. The wagyu dumpling was a bland. The stone grilled beef was tender, but could taste better if it was marinated first.
They also offer complimentary snack like edamame and fried lotus root.
Recommended dishes: beef carpaccio, seared tuna, brisket beef salad, any rice cake related dishes.
Friendly and conversational staff. Reasonably priced for the quality of food and ambience.

Location is great with plenty of parking nearby though it may be difficult when it gets busy.
Setting is nice and shop is nicely presented and very well designed with good atmosphere.
Food is really great with a good blend of Korean and more western mix. The raw beef was excellent. Plum wine is also very nice.
The only downside is that it is on the expensive side though and serving size can be a bit small.
Western style Korean food, but still authentic food. Ordered set menu of SUN, great for two person. Quiet place not so crowded. Would recommend
Best Korean restaurant in Auckland - have to be in the mood for it as would normally go for the lower range places but never beats it on pure quality.
What can I say ? If you want to experience a fancy Korean dining moment, this is the place for it. Everything here is just so nice and I have nothing to complain about. The food was very delicious. The ambience is some kind of different level from any other Korean restaurants in town that I have ever tried. Very very friendly and thoughtful staffs. This place just deserves so much more love and attention. What a hidden gem and I’m really happy that I found it.
This is definitely one of the more upscale Korean restaurants in the city. The prices are a bit higher than others, which is probably mostly due to the ambience and location. The food tastes pretty good and some of the portions are quite large (neither of us finished our meals, and had enough for leftovers the next day). Only minor gripes would be only two side dishes (though they were pretty good) and some menu items were not exactly as described - eg the menu said bibimbap has mushrooms and the bulgogi does not, but when we got the meals the bibimbap didn't have any but the bulgogi did. To be fair though, for a nice Korean meal out, I'd probably come back.
Lovely place for a couple or group. We tried the "land" meal and were wondering after the first two courses if it was the right choice however the food kept coming and was delicious. In the end we had both had enough and nothing was wasted. Next time we will try another part of the menu.
The staff were all courteous and friendly and timely bringing each course to us. We sat by the window and the sunset was no problem with the blind there.
Highly recommended for a nice night out.
Photos are all of the meal however the first two courses were bite sized and devoured pretty quickly before photos could be taken... 👍
Was great for a Korean family meal, especially when sitting in the 2 partially enclosed back areas with the bench seats that staff can walk around. Naturally ordered a multi-course tasting menu to get a bit of everything, more than I could list out here. The night we went was surprisingly quiet but it might have been later than usual dinner times. Liked the aesthetic overall inside this old converted warehouse.
Food:(5/5)
Had a wonderful lunch at Hansik. I had the Bulgogi and my friend had the Bibimbap. Didn’t try my friend’s one but my Bulgogi was so delicious. The portion was big and the beef was so flavourful and tender.
Service:(5/5)
Staff here were very friendly. Service was fast as well. If you’re looking for a price friendly and tasty fine dining Korean restaurant in city, Hansik has it all.
Authentic Korean food, very tasty. Best unagi I've ever had. Their lunch sets are super worth. Bulgogi lunch set was fantastic as well.
Excellent service, lovely food and great value for money. Loved the atmosphere and the chef tailored my dish to my dietary needs with no problem. Will be back again
Surprisingly good fusion restaurant. The food was good and staff was right about the portion (for four person we had 2 entrée and 2 main and that's plenty enough food). Definitely would go back and try the set menu next time.
Came in for lunch - beautifully presented beef tartare bibimbap is 👌👌. Everything fresh and tasty, a real pleasure of a meal. Good service and outdoor seating area too. Thank you!
Always a delicious dinner experience. The fried chicken is to die for and the portions are plentiful. Hidden from the main streets, it’s definitely worth seeking out!
