Absolutely outstanding! This Korean restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was simply phenomenal - every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The kimchi was perfectly fermented, the bulgogi was tender and savory, and the bibimbap was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Korean dining experience. Five stars all the way!

My mom and I are visiting family and were craving some Korean food. I looked up this place and we decided to give it a try. I ordered the Meat Jun plate and my mom ordered the Bulgogi. IT WAS SO GOOD. The workers were really nice too. Definitely planning on coming back to New Town Dining when we’re on the island again.

The chef and food were amazing. Loved it here, food is a little pricey but you're paying for what you get and plus we're on a big rock in the middle of nowhere. Would definitely come here again and be a returning customer!

I wanted to try this place because I would always see it when I would go to Dave”s. I am Korean and is always looking for good Korean places to eat. We walked in and sat down. We looked at the menu and OMG the fricken prices for the food was stupid expensive! I said, “This place better have good food if the prices are this high!” We ordered the seafood pancake, the New Town Special and the mandoo kook soo.. After about a couple of minutes we wanted to change the order to something else and they said they were making it already. So we just stayed with what we got. When the food came out, we got the appetizer and soup first. The appetizer (Seafood pancake) was good. They gave us the ban chan (side dishes) I was not impressed. It wasnt that good. The New Town Special which was $29.99 was the biggest disappointment! It tasted worst than Pearl’s Korean BBQ which is way cheaper than this place! I was so disappointed! The bulgogi was just gross! The meat tasted like it was bad! The mandoo soup was also not that good. I wasnt impressed. The water they put on the tables had a nasty taste too! Drink bottled water. $80.00 later for 3 items! I feel like I wasted my money!

Good food but $ pricey..
We've eaten here twice, the first time was excellent, the second time was pretty good, but the atmosphere was a little bit off.Normally I don't care too much about ambiance at a restaurant, but we were almost the only people in there and there was an older woman there watching something on a tablet, I think she was probably family. I don't mind that at all, but she had the tablet like REALLY REALLY loud. I mean REALLY loud. It seemed like some sort of game show or something, but it really made it hard for us to have a nice dinner. We're polite, and we figured maybe it was an older family member hard of hearing so we didn't really say anything, but I figured the owner should have realized how loud it was. It was just uncomfortable.The bbq chicken we got was pretty good, and the zucchini jun was good as well. My wife said the meat and fish just was just okay. We would probably order from here again, but more likely takeout.

Best Korean food I've had in a while, and the proprietor was so nice. My bro was a bit hesitant about what to order but wanted to try something he couldn't easily get in the Midwest, so she recommended a pretty simple stir-fried spicy octopus. Bro ate every bite and then soaked up the sauce with his leftover rice. I got japchae, which they were able to make with no meat and brought out a side of tofu for me. They refilled our banchan multiple times, too. Great food and service. Highly recommend.
Vegetarian options: They were very accommodating about me needing vegetarian and no shellfish. Just ask!

We ordered the meat Jun, bbq pork and bbq beef. The meat jun was dry and a little bland. Had to drench it in sauce to get any flavor. The bbq beef and pork looked identical. Honestly wasn't sure which was which and when we asked the waitress she was hesitant about it.
It's decent food but different from other Korean restaurants that you may be used to.
