best place to go for a guaranteed hot and spicy hot pot that will make you sweat any time of the year. :)
i love going most when it's chilly season. their soups warm me up just right and never disappoints. for any of their hot pots, you have the choice of no spicy, medium spicy, or hot spicy. i get the hot spicy version all the time and i love it!! -

I would consider this ONE level up from a lazy student cooking Instant Ramen at home. The Menu is mostly of Individual sized Tofu Hot Pot but do not get this confused with Soon Tofu. This is slightly different which I would say it is a cousin of Soon Tofu.
Seafood Mini Hot Pot($6.95) is a typical Korean bargain Meal that comes with Mostly your choice of Spiciness for the Broth. This Hot Pot consists mostly of Soup while ingredients of some Glass Vermicelli, Squid, Mussels, Shrimp, and a couple Bricks of Soft Tofu. It's not as overwhelmingly Tofu as Soon Tofu which is the biggest difference.
Banchan Appetizers are extra charge(-0.5 Star) here which I wasn't hankering for anyways but my Mild Spiciness Broth taste weirdly like Nongshim brand Instant Ramen flavouring. Maybe you can ask the Chinese speaking waitresses for me next time??Listed in: Vancouver'ing for the Week

Hot pot that that's not so hot on it's service.
The pots:
Seems like a Korean style hot pot with spicy/chili and Kim chi hot pots. Individually prepared hot pot bowls served to you with a menu of seafood, meats and some with different kinds of noodles.
The hot:
The bean noodle seafood hot pot is the winner. This one was delicious!!
The not:
Bad service :( Didn't confirm acknowledge the order or request and just walks off. Kind of rude.
The rest:
It gets pretty busy in there so it does get packed and you might end up sharing tables with random people. -

I don't understand where these bad reviews are coming from! This is one of my favourite places to go when I'm short on cash and want something to fill and warm my belly. Depending on the time of day you might be standing in line outside, but I swear it's worth it. The restaurant is a bustling, cute little place on the edge of crystal mall. The waitresses are pretty nice and will give you tea or water right away.
I regularly order the Seafood tofu hotpot. It's packed with green bean noodles, shrimp, chunks of tofu, calamari, green onions and a poached egg. It's all in this piping hot and beautifully seasoned broth, I like to order it very spicy. The price is super nice at $7. You usually have to go and pay at the counter and a couple of the tables have serious burn marks but I'm no snob so I don't think it takes away from anything. -

$6.95 + tax for a seafood mini hot pot? I'm in!
The amount you pay is definitely worth what you get. My seafood hot pot came with vermicelli noodles, tofu, 2 shrimps, 2 pieces of squid, 1 mussel and green onions. (Yes, I counted everything) Oh, the hot pot comes with a bowl of rice as well. For the little side dishes I tried pig's ears and spicey cucumbers.
Just don't go for the atmosphere. I pretty much ate and left right away. The service didn't stand out, but they were nice.
Everything satisfied me and I wouldn't mind going back if I wanted to get a quick and warm meal. -

Cheap, filling. Good place for starving students?!
Food ok. You are paying $7 (including tax) for a Seafood hotpot with a bowl of rice and free Jasmine tea don't expect too much. I'd say food is like your standard Asian food fare quality -

Is it weird that some of my favourite Asian restaurants in the greater Vancouver area are found in (Asian) malls? Crystal Mall has one of the best food courts in terms of Asian cuisine (besides Aberdeen Center in Richmond). Though Han Ju isn't technically in the food court I absolutely LOVE this place! Fast service, dirt cheap prices, and (most importantly) delicious noodle soups!
The KOREAN-STYLE NOODLE POTS with kimchi (either udon or glass noodle, depending on my mood) are friggin' A-MAZ-ING (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...). I get them every time I come. The kimchi adds a nice hot-and-sour-ness and are cooked in the broth long enough that the flavour really penetrates the soup. It's all about the broth for me - I drink every single drop and would gladly take the thirst (and hypertension) it eventually causes. The pots also come with tofu, egg, pork slices (yum-yum!), shrimp, squid, and mussel (though the last three are often overcooked). I've also had the sesame-oil chicken noodle soup. This was good too, but doesn't quite compare to the incredible Korean-style pots.
The kimchi & KOREAN-STYLE BBQ PORK with rice (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) is another favourite. The pork is marinated perfectly and is soooo flavourful (this applies to the pork in the noodle pots as well). I like the spicy tofu and cabbage that comes with it too.
They also have a number of Taiwanese appetizers (like marinated pig ear, seaweed, spicy tofu, http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) for $1.75-2.5. My favourite is the SEAWEED (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) - slightly slimy and very crunchy soft!
I live in San Francisco now, but every time I go back to Vancouver (which, luckily for me, is quite frequently) I gots to get me some Han Ju! This is my kind of comfort food. I'm craving some now just writing about it...Listed in: Crystal Mall Favourites

Restaurant seems to be a fusion of Korean and Chinese food. Food was great, place was so crowded and wait time is a about 15 mins. So plan to arrive 15 mins early before you get hungry, LOL.
