Franchise Opportunity
Handam BBQ
ABOUT THIS FRANCHISE
We’ve Been Taking Tastebuds on a Seoul-ful Journey Since 2020
Handam BBQ is a Korean BBQ gem located in the heart of Houston’s Chinatown. From the moment we opened our doors, we aimed to provide a distinctive Korean BBQ experience that resonates with both connoisseurs and newcomers to Korean cuisine alike.
At Handam BBQ, our mission is rooted in the spirit of connection. Inspired by the meaning of “Handam”—a small place to mingle—we strive to create a warm, inviting space where guests can come together or meet new friends over exceptional Korean barbecue.
Our goal is to transport you to the lively streets of Seoul, where the sizzle of meat on the grill and the aroma of marinated dishes fill the air. We are committed to offering a KBBQ experience that is vibrant, thoughtful, and steeped in culinary heritage.
From carefully selected cuts of meat to the colorful array of banchan (small plates) that complement each bite, the use of smokeless charcoal grills creates a comfortable dining experience, while the friendly and attentive staff ensures that every visit is a memory in the making. Every element at Handam BBQ is crafted to bring people closer through food and shared moments.
Whether it’s your first time or a familiar favorite, Handam is a place to gather, savor, and celebrate the richness of Korean food culture—one grill at a time.
