## In short

Hado is a Western-style course-menu restaurant on Hyanggyo-ro in Paldal-gu, Suwon. Visiting with her boyfriend for an anniversary, the writer ordered the Hado basic set — a pea tart and a sweet shrimp apple tart, bisque and pomodoro pasta, sous vide chicken breast steak and Earl Grey ice cream — with an Earl Grey ade on the side. Since every table at Hado has its own CD player for choosing your own music, it suits a date built around quiet conversation.

A little while ago my boyfriend and I had an anniversary, so we went looking for somewhere a bit special to eat — good food, nice atmosphere — and that's how we found Hado on Hyanggyo-ro in Paldal-gu, Suwon!

The quiet, cozy atmosphere made it really satisfying as an anniversary date spot 🩷 What stood out most was that every table has its own CD player, so you can pick your own music to listen to — such a charming, memorable touch. Let me walk you through the Hado course I tried in detail!

## Where Hado is on Hyanggyo-ro, and how the restaurant looks outside

![Hado's exterior with dark tones and a wood-toned door](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-02-e34d1-900.webp)

Hado is on the 1st floor of 138 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon. From the outside it looks like a typical small restaurant tucked into an alley, but the dark tones and wood-toned door at the entrance give it a subtly stylish air.

It's also decently accessible by public transit, so it's a solid pick if you're looking for a date-night dinner spot in Suwon. I'd recommend checking the business hours and reservation availability before heading over!

## Inside Hado: a CD player on every table

Once I opened the door, the inside of Hado had way more atmosphere than the exterior suggested. 🖤 It's mostly dark tones throughout, giving off a very modern, clean feel.

The lighting is on the dim side, which made it easy to focus on the meal and the conversation.

But what I loved most was that every table has its own CD player!!? These days it's rare to pick music off an actual CD, but at Hado you can play whatever music you like right at your table.

Maybe it's these little touches, but sitting there felt a lot more relaxed than usual. With music playing softly in the background while we ate, it felt completely different from a loud, bustling restaurant.

## What's in the Hado basic set, and how to order it

![Hado's menu board showing the basic set composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-08-4pkt1-880.webp)

![Hado's menu showing pasta options](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-09-x5iua-880.webp)

What I ordered was the Hado basic set, which is a course made up of:

- Pea tart / sweet shrimp apple tart
- Pasta (choice of 1: minari yuja bisque / carbonara / vongole / bisque / squid ink oil / pomodoro)
- Sous vide chicken breast steak (+₩21,000 to swap for sirloin steak)
- Earl Grey ice cream

We ordered the pasta as bisque and pomodoro, and kept the steak as the basic chicken breast. We also got a glass of Earl Grey ade to go with it.

Since I'd booked ahead, the basic table setting was already in place like this, and the course starts the moment your reserved time hits.

## Starters: pea tart and sweet shrimp apple tart

![Plated pea tart and sweet shrimp apple tart](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-12-llcsi-900.webp)

The first thing to arrive was a prettily plated pair of tarts. They came in small, one-bite-sized portions with toppings on the tart base, and having two kinds served together made it look extra cute.

As a starter kicking off the course, the seasoning was light and easy to eat. Nothing too bold, which meant it didn't compete with the pasta or main dish coming up next.

## How Hado's bisque pasta and pomodoro pasta tasted

![Hado's bisque pasta topped with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-15-1lxmv-900.webp)

![Bisque pasta plated in a tall rolled pile](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-16-95pzt-900.webp)

If I had to pick the dish I enjoyed most at Hado, I'd honestly go with the pasta. The bisque sauce pasta in particular was really delicious. Shrimp sat on top of the noodles, the sauce had soaked in well, and the first bite hit with a big burst of umami. That rich, nutty flavor unique to bisque paired really, really well with the pasta.

![Pomodoro pasta with a tomato-sauce base](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-17-yl2ot-900.webp)

![Plated pomodoro pasta at Hado](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-18-w3dry-900.webp)

The pomodoro pasta that came alongside it was clean, tomato-sauce-based, and reliably good. Since the two pastas were such different styles, it was easy to eat through both without getting tired of one flavor. And as you can tell from the photos, they rolled the pasta into a nice tall pile when plating, which made for great food photos too 😉🖤

## The sous vide chicken breast steak wasn't dry at all

![A juicy cross-section of the sous vide chicken breast](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-20-55swh-900.webp)

And the dish that really exceeded expectations was the sous vide chicken breast steak! I've been eating a lot of chicken breast lately while dieting, and you know how it usually turns out dry and chewy? This was completely different from any chicken breast I've had before!!

Cooked sous vide, it was genuinely soft and juicy 🫧 I think even people who normally don't like chicken breast could enjoy it prepared this way, haha.

## Earl Grey ade and Earl Grey ice cream to finish

![Hado's Earl Grey ade topped with mint](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-21-1cop2-900.webp)

![Earl Grey ade enjoyed alongside the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-22-xu73n-900.webp)

I'm a big Earl Grey fan, so I went with the Earl Grey ade to drink — it had a pretty color and mint on top, so it photographed well too. The subtle Earl Grey aroma came through, sweet and refreshing, and it went great alongside the food!

![Earl Grey ice cream closing out the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course/hado-suwon-cd-player-anniversary-course-23-1y8b4-900.webp)

And at the end of the course came the Earl Grey ice cream. The Earl Grey flavor came through gently, sweet and cold, a nice way to wrap up the meal. After the pasta and steak, your palate can feel a bit heavy, but finishing with cold ice cream made it feel clean again 🖤 If you love Earl Grey, I think you'll enjoy both the drink and the dessert.

## Who is Hado in Suwon a good fit for?

Having visited Hado myself, I felt the atmosphere was just as much of a draw as the food. It's worth a visit for a slightly special meal, like an anniversary or a birthday.

It would also be a great choice for anyone looking for a place to have a quiet conversation over a meal — not just for anniversary dates, but for meals with parents or blind dates, anywhere the atmosphere really matters. Highly recommend!
