I ordered the New York-size combo platter and shrimp rings, then ate leisurely at a solo window seat looking out over Hongdae Street. Verdict: A generous, easygoing halal meal with approachable spices. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Order**: New York-size combo platter, shrimp rings - **Ordering**: Kiosk - **Seating**: Two- and four-person tables, high tables, and solo window seats - **Main menu**: Platters, sandwiches, and side dishes *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Location guide for Halal Steaks Hongdae branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-01-17y4o-1200.webp) ## Halal Steaks near Hongik University Station Halal Steaks Hongdae branch is on the second floor at 26 Yanghwa-ro 16-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, about 500 m from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station. It is open daily from 11:00 to 22:00! Halal Steaks is well known in Hongdae as a great spot for eating alone and halal food! I normally love tacos and halal food, so I finally stopped by :) The exterior and interior are clean overall, while still having that distinctly hip Hongdae atmosphere! ![Exterior of Halal Steaks Hongdae branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-02-1gbgp-900.webp) ![Halal Steaks storefront in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-03-1ib72-900.webp) Head in from Hongdae's main Red Road and you will see a standing sign, with this menu board right by the stairs. Inside, the neon Halal Steaks logo gives the place an exotic yet casual feel! Personally, I pay more attention to the music than the interior, and the pop music playing really suited it, haha. ## An interior with solo seats and group seating ![Restaurant interior with a neon logo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-04-byvyw-900.webp) There was a good range of seating: two- and four-person tables, high tables, and solo window seats, so you can settle in comfortably depending on your group size or reason for visiting! ![Restaurant seating including solo window seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-05-1hz6t-900.webp) In particular, there are seats by the windows that are great for dining alone, so it looked like a nice place to visit solo! You order from the kiosk; platters and sandwiches are the main offerings, with a variety of sides too. ![Kiosk ordering menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-06-15tc2-900.webp) ![Platter and sandwich menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-07-vr021-900.webp) - Platters: chicken platter / gyro platter / small combo platter / small falafel platter - Sandwiches: chicken sandwich / gyro sandwich / combo sandwich / falafel sandwich - I ordered the New York-size combo platter + shrimp rings! ![Open kitchen and drink display area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-08-sbyoz-900.webp) The kitchen is open, so you can watch the food being made right in front of you. There was also a display of various drinks and a self-service bar. ![Restaurant interior with a self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-09-x61e1-900.webp) ## Is the New York-size combo platter too heavily spiced? 🥙 New York-size combo platter This combo platter comes with chicken, lamb, and beef! It also includes basmati rice, tomatoes, onions, and sauces, so you can mix up all kinds of flavors on one plate. Halal food might feel a little unfamiliar to first-timers because of the spices, but Halal Steaks keeps them at just the right, not-overwhelming level. I think anyone comfortable eating pho would find it easygoing?? ![New York-size combo platter components](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-10-1m3it-900.webp) ![Meat and basmati rice platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-11-1djn8-900.webp) The portion of meat was especially generous, so with the rice it was a more filling, satisfying meal than I expected… (Of course it was… it is New York size…) Add the generously drizzled white sauce and the meat tastes even mellower; eating it with tomatoes and onions cuts through the richness too, so finishing the whole plate was no trouble at all!! ![Combo platter with white sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-12-sylgw-900.webp) Pile the meat, vegetables, and sauce onto a tortilla and it feels a bit like a sandwich, which I loved even more, haha. Highly recommended. The New York-size combo platter lets you eat lots of ingredients at once and is generously portioned, so I would especially recommend it when two people visit rather than one! ![Platter eaten with tortillas](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-13-1e60m-900.webp) ![Combo platter with assorted ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-14-oalx7-900.webp) ## Shrimp rings on the side 🍤 Shrimp rings The shrimp rings I ordered as a side were great too! They had a crispy fried coating with shrimp inside, so they were crunchy outside and springy within, haha. Having shrimp here and there while eating the meat-focused platter made the meal feel more varied, so I would recommend the shrimp rings as a side too! ![Shrimp rings side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-15-mf3gd-900.webp) ![Crispy shrimp rings serving](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-16-1wzrq-900.webp) Sitting at a window seat like this, looking out at Hongdae Street as I ate, made for such a relaxed and lovely meal at Halal Steaks, a great Hongdae halal food spot for solo diners!! ![Window seat overlooking Hongdae Street](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat-17-ycm4f-900.webp) If you are looking for a hip place to eat alone, or if you love Mexican food such as tacos, halal food, and tortillas, you really should visit.. The weather has been pleasantly cool lately, so I am thinking of getting a combo platter to go and enjoying it with a beer on a Han River picnic, haha. ## Where it is - Halal Steaks (할랄스텍스) (할랄스텍스) - 2F, 26 Yanghwa-ro 16-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 양화로16길 26 2층) - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로16길 26 2층 - 37.5530035, 126.9209241 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%A0%EB%9E%84%EC%8A%A4%ED%85%8D%EC%8A%A4/@37.5530035,126.9209241,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@unhurried-menu-seoul/hongdae-halal-platter-window-seat/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
