About Hanki
On Jeffries Passage in Guildford, Hanki is a Korean restaurant serving a menu built around rice cake, spicy pork on rice, and beef gimbap, alongside half-half fried chicken offered in combinations like sweet chilli, sweet soy, and honey garlic. Kimbap and salmon poke bowls round out the range, and Korean rice punch is available to drink. The space is small with limited seating, and tables can be hard to come by during busy lunch periods, though a small outdoor section adds extra room. K-pop plays throughout the space. Hanki operates on a walk-in basis and opens Wednesday to Sunday, closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Cash is accepted as a payment method. There are no toilets on site, a holdover from the business's original setup as a takeaway-only operation.

Customer Review Summary
Korean fried chicken draws the most repeated praise, described as crispy, juicy inside, and finger licking tasty, with the half-half sweet chilli and sweet soy version singled out repeatedly. Close behind, the barbeque beef and spicy soy chicken get called phenomenal and full of flavour, and the kimbap, spicy rice cake in gochujang sauce, and yuk gae jang also come up often, along with the korean rice punch. Portions are consistently described as generous and affordable, with several comparing prices to chain restaurants in town. Service is repeatedly called friendly and attentive, with one reviewer recalling staff supplying missing avocado and another providing dipping sauce on request. The salmon poke draws mixed reaction: one reviewer found it large with plenty of good salmon, while another felt the fish tasted fishy under the sauce. Recurring complaints mention limited seating that fills quickly at lunch, no toilets on site, and one longtime visitor noting portions shrinking and prices rising over the years.

“Absolutely amazing BBQ, 10 out of 10. The barbeque beef was phenomenal. Very flavourful, the prawns were very juicy as well. A bit of chilli and the pickle on the side was perfect. And then the icing on the cake was definitely the deal with the 10 shots. Each one was lovely. To top it off, the service was brilliant. Everything was presented well, the BLACKPINK chicken was really tasty as well (punch on the outside and super juicy in the middle) Can't wait to come again.”

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The food was delicious, authentic and full of flavour. Great portions, lovely service and such a welcoming atmosphere. I especially recommend the spicy soy chicken and yuk gae jang, both were absolutely delicious! Definitely one of our favourite Korean restaurants 🫶🏻”

“The salmon poke quality isn’t as good as expected, you can still taste the fishiness under the drenched spicy sauce. The flavours are good but just let down by fish quality.”

“Been going here for years and its certainly gotten a lot more popular, food quality is really good albeit getting smaller over time, and prices are quite high in comparison. Its quite a small restaurant so if its busy it can be hard find seating but they do offer a small outdoor seating section if the weather is nice.”
