    真的如評論所言,食物美味,服務好,小菜會一直供應,值得聚餐時再去光顧。地理位置要注意看招牌指示,爬樓梯上二樓。

    We regularly eat at Hwadam because the quality of the food is always too notch, and tonight was own of the best experiences when it came to service. The staff were absaloutly amazing! Tentative, polite and friendly. Tonight was one of our best experiences at Hwadam so far. I hope they keep it up as it really encourages me to take more friends and family there.

    We were running late, staff were understanding and friendly. Food was great and staff even offer to help you cook, while you eat. Had a mixed platter for two and was plenty of food.

    Amazing food, tasty and seemed fresh and good quality. A lot of food and alcohol, I was expecting a bigger bill. Very friendly service from everyone we encountered. A big shout out to the young lady who recommended the rib and helped us through the process (new to kbbq) she was funny and very polite, also the young guy who was very friendly and down to earth. Will be back 100%

    Great food, excellent service. The BBQ combo was perfect for the three of us along with some selected vegetable side dishes! We had a lovely time and appreciated the cleanliness and overall vibe! A great place tucked away, worth checking out.

    Very good! Love the kimchi pancake. Slightly more expensive than usual kbbq but the meat, pancake, stew, and not smelling like meat really factor into the 5 star rating.
