Hwa Mi Won sits on Geary Boulevard in the Richmond, serving Korean comfort food in a contemporary dining room where traditional touches meet modern design. The name is built from three Korean words — fire, taste, and a nod to the chef's own name — meant to sum up the kitchen's approach: dishes cooked over flame, balanced in flavor, and prepared with close attention to detail.
The menu runs through Korean classics served in stone pots, including beef rib soup, brisket hot pot, crispy yuk jun, and seolleonggtang. The signature dish is the braised short ribs — a bubbling, torched galbijjim piled with tender short rib, rice cakes, and vegetables, served tableside in a sizzling pot. The restaurant also handles catering and private events.
