Hanu Korean BBQ

Everything was delicious, highly recommended. The staff were truly friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! If you're in Montecatini, you can't miss it.

A very nice idea for a place like Montecatini, but... it's very different from what it should be. The positives are the side dishes they serve at the beginning of the meal, with truly fabulous kimchi, the attentiveness of the staff (after a while the cast iron got dirty, they were the first to come and change it for us), and the quality of the meat. They even gave us wipes at the end of the meal. However, after having been both to Korea and to Korean BBQ restaurants in Italy, it's still far from the norm. As for sauces, they're missing the main one, 쌈장, which is also easily found in Italy. The fried rice with kimchi (김치 볶음밥) tastes good but is very reminiscent of Chinese cuisine, not Korean at all. To make classic salad rolls, things like fine cloves of garlic or pieces of fresh green chili pepper are usually added, but they didn't serve any of those. BBQs typically start out as places to drink alcohol with grilled meat and various cooked dishes, but here there's really a limited selection. There are only two sojus, one regular and one strawberry, but there are actually many other types easily found in Italy. As for beer, the typical Korean BBQ beer, terra e cass, is missing, as are other spirits like 막걸리 (rice wine) and 매화술 (plum wine). So overall, it's a really nice idea for a different kind of evening, but a bit far from what you'd expect from the sign!
