LOVE Korean BBQ

My friends and I came here for 4th of July weekend and were truly impressed. The menu was confusing at first because of the expansive options, but we were happy with the selections we made. We started with the Tuna Tataki - which was seasoned so nicely and had a perfect sear on it. We also did a beef BBQ combo. Not only were all the meats fantastic, but the sides were divine - every single one of them. I believe we chose the pork kimchi stew, which was also great. Our server James went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. He was able to accommodate everyone's desired meat temperature, but he was personable and really made our late lunch/early dinner special. He told us that he's studying something related to music, so we definitely hope his dreams come to fruition soon. His coworkers and manager were also very kind.

The ambiance is nice, just a bit loud and the staff right behind you throwing stuff if you are seated in the back. We went on a Saturday and I think since it was packed the servers were super fast with everything so it was rushed they dont even talk you or introduce themselves. Overall, the food quality is great which is whats important? 10/10

I enjoyed this place. The meat was good and fresh, but a bit too pricey for the portions. The staff was accommodating, but somehow uninvested in our overall experience. All of us left still hungry even though we ordered two different combos.

This BBQ is the best meal I’ve had in NYC and tastes almost as good (if not better dare I say?) than Korea!! I got the marinated combo for 2 and it was delicious but such a massive portion! Make sure you are extra hungry. Food is so fresh and the service is on point, friendly and professional and on top of it. Can’t wait to come back and make this a regular when I’m in NYC :)

We came as a party of seven and did the buffet at a little over $100 per person. I’m a NYC local who’s done plenty of $50–$100 AYCE spots, so I brought my visiting family here after seeing the great reviews and expected a solid experience. Unfortunately, it fell short and I felt embarrassed because no one in my group really enjoyed it. Service was the first letdown. We asked one server for a salad and, after almost 15 minutes with nothing, had to ask another. The salad finally arrived when most of the food on the table was already gone, which killed the mood. Overall pacing was slow. Food quality missed the mark too. The pork belly was overwhelmingly fatty and greasy. The grill burned quickly, so the meat picked up a bitter, burnt taste after just a short time. In the end we stuck to the shrimp, which was the only thing that tasted consistently good. For the triple-digit price point, it didn’t feel worth it. I hope they improve the service timing, maintain the grills better, and balance the pork cuts. The one highlight was the shrimp, which was fresh and enjoyable. (For context, I’ve never given any restaurant a 1-star on Google before, but this time I genuinely felt I had to.)
