  Awesome korean food! Really authentic and reasonably priced.
  
  I've been here a few times. It definitely has that family-run vibe where not much is spent on interior- it's all about the food. Located within a shopping center that also includes superior pho. A little hidden from the main street, but plenty of parking in the adjacent lot. Very few tables- I've never seen a wait, but it has gotten crowded.
  
  Food: If you're new to korean food, it always comes with banchan, which are a bunch of side dishes. Kimchi and pickled cucumbers are my favorite! If you want more, ask for it- it's complimentary.
  
  Get the hot stone bibimbap! Rice, a bunch of vegetables, meat and egg. Make sure to mix it with the spicy red sauce. The hot stone keeps the bibimbap cooking, so it says warm and crisps up while you're eating it.
  
  Other foods i can recommend- Pork bulgogi (bbq pork that's on the spicy side), Tteokbokki (chewy rice cakes in a spicy sauce) and the savory seafood pancake.
  
  Love the strawberry soft drink that's given at the end too. nice touch :)

  Since I first moved here, this has consistently been my local go-to in Cleveland's Asiatown for tasty, authentic Korean food. I almost always get the Hot Stone Bibimbap-- make sure you really thoroughly stir up that artfully assembled bowl when it comes out for a well-distributed combination of savory meat and sautéed veggies with crispy, ever so slightly burnt rice in the spicy ssamjang sauce~ My only complaint is that they don't provide the standard sesame oil that you can drizzle on top for that extra added kick of umami.  
  
  If by chance your heart isn't set on the delicious bibimbap, you also can't go wrong with any of the other classic dishes like Galbi Tang (short rib soup), Soondubu (spicy soft tofu soup) or Osam Bulgogi (spicy squid and pork if you like your bulgogi with a kick)
  
  They recently added a new banchan dish, myulchi bokkeum (stir-fried anchovies with sliced almonds), personally my fave and so addicting to munch on. You can ask for unlimited banchan refills and they provide a complimentary Yakult-style yogurt drink at the end, which is a nice nostalgic touch from my childhood that I always look forward to for finishing off meals at Ha Ahn.

  Great little place with sizable portions and decent Korean food! Conveniently next to one of the few Asian grocery markets in the area with very friendly service, and a decent bustle of people going in and out. Ordered a seafood tofu soup and cold noodle which was more than enough for 2 people, but would also recommend their seafood pancake or galbi if you're feeling extra hungry. The cold noodle is not quite like LA with the mustard sauce being on the milder end, but pretty solid. Tofu stew also flavorful enough to satisfy a good craving. What I really appreciate are the small dishes, especially the soft steamed egg which I don't always see at most restaurants. Would be interested in trying their Japanese food, but would definitely return for their Korean menu.

  My favorite Korean restaurant in Cleveland's Asia-town! I always get the soft tofu soup with pork served with a bowl of fluffy white rice and complimentary side dishes. The staff and owners are friendly and provide excellent customer service. I rate the overall experience as a 4.5/5!
  
  I took half a star off for location and seating. The restaurant is a bit tricky to find and the parking lot is unmarked but there is free parking in the rear of the store. Seating is limited in the store so the wait can be long if reservations aren't made prior.
  
  Definitely worth checking out!

  Close to downtown. Authentic Korean food.  Hwedupbab is great here - portion is bit too much.
  Price is reasonable.
