## In short

Halal Steaks is a New York street–style halal food restaurant in Hongdae, Seoul, 499 meters from Hongik University Station Exit 9. On a weekend evening the order was a combo platter, shrimp rings and a Coke Zero, and even for someone who usually avoids greasy food it tasted light, a little spicy and nutty rather than heavy. The white sauce with the freshly fried shrimp rings was the combination worth coming back for at Halal Steaks.

## What is Halal Steaks? A New York halal-cart-style spot in Hongdae

Halal Steaks is a Hongdae restaurant where you can try the kind of food made famous by New York street food carts like Halal Guys, right here in Korea. It's huge in the US but still pretty unfamiliar in Korea, so I was a little worried going in — but it wasn't greasy at all and was genuinely delicious 👍

It's rice-based with a lot of meat, so it's the kind of flavor anyone could like 🍖 Alright, let's get into the review~~~

I ordered the combo platter, shrimp rings, and a zero-calorie cola 🍤

## How does the combo platter taste? The white sauce makes it

The Halal Steaks combo platter comes with rice, two kinds of meat, two pieces of tortilla, and sauce drizzled on top 🥙 The rice looked like a fluffy imported variety rather than Korean rice 🍚 Mixed lightly with the sauce, it was so good 🥄

![Combo platter with rice and two kinds of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-14-gttxh-900.webp)

![Close-up of the combo platter drizzled with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-15-1vjgs-900.webp)

![Combo platter served with two tortillas](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-16-yrwo8-900.webp)

![Halal rice mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-17-1wz79-900.webp)

![A spoonful of meat and vegetables lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-18-r6f8a-900.webp)

![Meat topped with white sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-19-s4uci-900.webp)

![Combo platter mid-meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-20-17ggh-900.webp)

I was worried since I can't handle greasy food, but it truly wasn't greasy at all — slightly spicy and nutty, and really tasty ❤️ Lots of veggies and meat too, so the carb-protein-fat balance was great 👍 The white sauce is the real special part — how do I even describe the taste... 🤔 Slightly sweet and nutty, kind of like it lifts up the flavor of the meat, haha 🍖

## Are the shrimp rings at Halal Steaks worth ordering?

The Halal Steaks shrimp rings come with 4 pieces and chili sauce ✨️ Another blogger said you absolutely have to order the shrimp rings, so I did — and they were genuinely delicious, highly recommend 🍤

![Four shrimp rings served with chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-21-1qq3o-900.webp)

![Close-up of freshly fried shrimp rings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-22-1d4fp-900.webp)

Freshly fried, hot and crispy, absolutely delicious 👍

![Zero-calorie cola ordered alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-23-g1tmg-900.webp)

Washed it down with a zero-calorie cola~🥤 At least drinking zero helps ease the calorie guilt a bit!! 🤣

![Table cleared after finishing the Halal Steaks meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner/hongdae-halal-combo-platter-shrimp-ring-dinner-24-r46xk-900.webp)

I asked for a container to pack the leftovers, but once it was all packed up I wanted to eat it again, so I just finished it all. My hands just wouldn't stop ~~!!!🖐🖐🖐 I'm heading to Canada soon, and I think my taste buds might actually be into foreign food more than I expected~ 😆
