Located on Kunming Street in Wanhua District, Han Kao Da Wang by. Dongdaemun Ximending Branch is right in the bustling Ximending shopping district, easily accessible from MRT Ximending Station~
Once you open the door and head up to the 3rd floor, the bright and spacious industrial-style interior with powerful ventilation lets you leave elegantly after charcoal grilled meat without any smoky smell on your clothes. Unlike the common electric grills in Taiwan, they generously use real "charcoal wood fire," letting that signature smoky aroma fill the air and instantly elevate the vibe!
The restaurant offers an extremely abundant self-service bar with unlimited Korean fried chicken, hot pot ingredients, vegetables, ice cream, and various drinks, plus seasonal side dishes and assorted Korean banchan served at each table~
Unlike the greasy, dimly lit stereotype of traditional Taiwanese or old-school Korean barbecue places, the decor here follows a modern, high-quality bright industrial style~ The space is high-ceilinged and spacious, with smooth traffic flow between tables and no cramped feeling from overcrowding!
The most applause-worthy feature is their powerful high-altitude exhaust system. Foodies know this is a rare Ximending spot that insists on real charcoal grilling. While the aroma is tempting, the worst part is leaving with clothes and hair soaked in smoke. At Han Kao Da Wang you never have to worry! Every grill has a strong exhaust pipe right above it, sucking away smoke instantly while the meat sizzles. Even when the place is packed, the air stays fresh and the AC is turned on generously. Enjoy real charcoal-grilled meat in summer or rainy season while staying cool and elegant!
At "Han Kao Da Wang" Ximending Branch, if charcoal grilled meat is the soul of the feast, their full-function super-abundant self-service bar is definitely the happy paradise that makes all foodies lose control! The self-service area is spacious and bright, with counters always wiped clean and spotless, maintaining top-tier hygiene~
Most impressive is their restocking speed—it’s lightning fast! As soon as a plate gets low, the kitchen immediately brings out fresh, piping-hot dishes. You’ll never stare at an empty plate. They deliver full value!

Turning around, you’re greeted by a colorful array of fresh vegetables and hot pot ingredients. For the signature "Korean hot pot," they provide plenty of seasonal veggies, mushrooms, and premium hot pot items~

In the hot pot meat and ingredient section, the store shows bold generosity with a full range of fresh meats~
Upon entering, friendly staff explain the pricing options. There are two main plans:
After choosing, you’ll get a "yellow order form." To ensure freshness, beef, lamb, seafood, and made-to-order Korean dishes (like steamed egg, cold noodles, stone pot bibimbap, spicy tteokbokki) are ordered by writing quantities and handing it to staff.
The kitchen prepares everything fresh and hot, avoiding the common issue of food sitting and cooling. Staff deliver orders super quickly—you’ll never feel rushed or limited. Huge praise for their service!
This luxurious beef platter looks incredibly appetizing with its fresh color! Their grilling style perfectly recreates Korean tableside dining—thick, substantial cuts rather than thin slices. When placed on the charcoal grill, the heat renders excess fat, creating that signature "sizzle"~
Beef rib meat has excellent chew and bursts with sweet juices~
Bone-in short ribs develop a light char on both sides; the connective tissue near the bone becomes more flavorful the more you chew, delivering rich beef aroma!
After the meat, the seafood selection is equally impressive—rarely seen in all-you-can-eat spots and impressively fresh~ The shrimp shells peel easily, meat is firm and bouncy with charcoal aroma~
The spicy Korean pork stone pot bibimbap arrives sizzling; the rice at the bottom forms a crispy golden layer. Mixed with banchan, tender spicy pork, and raw egg yolk~
Every bite delivers crunch and savory sauce—pure satisfaction!
The sauce-glazed Korean fried chicken is coated in shiny sweet-spicy sauce—deeply flavorful yet perfectly crispy~
This double-texture fried chicken paired with icy drinks from the self-service bar is unbeatable—basically bringing authentic Korean fried chicken chains straight to Ximending!
Classic Korean spicy tteokbokki delivers street-food vibes with glossy red sauce clinging to chewy rice cakes and fish cakes—sweet-heat that hits hard. Alternate bites with steaming egg custard for the perfect spicy-cooling balance, the true Korean way~
Korean cold noodles (mixed) with chef’s special red chili sauce—tangy, spicy, and boldly flavorful~
The hidden gem tip: wrap freshly grilled hot beef brisket with chilled cold noodles for an amazing hot-cold, sweet-tangy contrast that’ll make you want to dance!
Korean hot pot is another highlight! The rich, layered broth pairs perfectly with veggies and ingredients from the self-service bar—highly recommend adding Korean instant noodles. Once soaked in savory pork bone soup, it’s warming and comforting~
