About Golden HOF
Golden HOF is a lively, fun, and dynamic space inspired by traditional Korean-style HOF bars. With casual pub vibes and a modern twist, our menu features classic anju, jjigae, and shareable dishes, perfectly paired with a creative beverage program highlighting Korean liquors, craft beers, and original cocktails. It’s a high-energy, fast-paced environment where guests come to enjoy great company, drinks, and delicious food.

A modern raw bar and steakhouse with deep Korean influences, our menu showcases high-quality American steak cuts and fresh crudo, infused with Korean flavors. Complemented by expertly crafted wines and Korean-inspired cocktails, this is dining with sophistication and boldness.
