It's expensive...and the food overall is salty.A casserole for three people costs $45...It's expensive.Compared to Korea, there are too few side dishes...Korean restaurants abroad are always bad.

The side dishes were the best that I have had at any Korean restaurant. The cod soup was tasty and refreshing.You got to love K-pop because you will be surrounded by it

Nice location with easy parking. Good food, decent service, good music playing in the background. Really enjoyed the spicy squid bibimbap. Impressed by the number of side dishes you’re given. Seems like a good spot for regulars. The folks working are efficient but not too chatty!Now for my standard comments. Interior is pretty clean and seating is good.

I understand that this restaurant is now under new management, and I wanted to give it another try.Based on my experience as a server at the restaurant, I preferred to avoid going there close to closing time. Since they are closing at 10 pm, I decided to go. And I arrived there at 8:10 pm.My initial impression was not particularly favorable. One of the male servers we encountered led me to the table without uttering a single word.( He was too busy chewing with his mouth full of food.) Well, we all need to eat, it was okayAt exactly 9:05, they started turning off all the TVs and lights in the other sections of the store.All the staff members began packing their belongings and assembled not too far from my table.I asked one of the workers when they're closing up and he said, "Whenever you leave"Terrible experience

This is not a restaurant to come and eat. If you're just passing by and get hungry, it's perfect for stopping by and having a meal.

The service was terrible! I have never felt he need to comment on the service at a restaurant until experiencing the poor service here. Although, the food was pretty good; As a customer you should never have to ask for more water, clear dishes away, ask for the check, or feel invisible.

I’d give it an overall 4 rating but 3 for the stone pot rice dishes. It’s kind of pricey (closer to $20 an entree), but it came with an adequate amount of veggies and side dishes. They definitely don’t skimp on that, and they even have a cute little robot to deliver them. I got the Haemul dolsot (seafood rice on hot stoneware plate). It came with a thin layer of rice on the bottom, but I think it comes with too much sauce because I was unable to get a nice crispy layer of rice (and trust me I didn’t touch the rice when it was sizzling). So that was disappointing because I love eating this. The kimchi was good in terms of sourness and spicyness (wasn’t weak at all). Menu is diverse and they are having a bunch of promotions. They’re in Korean so I don’t know what the promotional flyers say. One is about a breakfast special and if you follow and share their instagram, they offer you a 5% discount (apparently only if you are eating kbbq). They also give a 5% discount if you pay in cash.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. BAD SERVICE. OVERPRICED.Our experience: My boyfriend and I stopped by for lunch on our way from Staten Island. The place was freezing so I kept my coat on as we sat down, there was only one older couple there besides us. The banchan was great and they gave us a lot so that started off well. We got the lunch special menus and I ordered 2 bulgogi bibimbap and sundubu. What they brought out were two piles of bulgogi and we immediately got confused. I told the waiter we had asked for the bibimbap, not just bulgogi. The waiter looked and me and actually said “You asked for bulgogi, if you said bibimbap then yes I would bring you bibimbap.” We were stunned, as he refused to have the right dish made (Mind you, we would have been okay if they just took the same meat back and put it in a bowl with vegetables for the bibimbap). At this point we could see we weren’t gonna get the right food but we felt like we couldn’t just leave, since we already ate the banchan dishes. So we took the food and began to eat it. I felt so bad because I picked the place specifically for the bibimbap that my boyfriend wanted. We also had to ask for more tea as the waiter never came to check on us again after that. Then the sundubu came. The soup tasted so…bland. I’ve eaten at Ktown in Manhattan and had more authentic sundubu. It was just tofu, zucchini, and overcooked beef cubes, which was so rubbery. No mushrooms? No spice? At this point I was pretty upset. We didn’t even finish the meal, didn’t ask for take out boxes and just asked for the check so we could leave. At this point, I knew I woukd leam them a small tip. Seeing the receipt, I immediately wanted to cry. $100 for two bulgogi meals and a horrible sundubu stew with hardly anything in it. I was LIVID. My boyfriend begged me to let him pay but it was supposed to be my treat so I simply paid, refused to leave any tip at all, and we left. We went to my car where I just cried. We’ve had BETTER LARGER quantities of Korean Food in MANHATTAN for less of a price than these guys charge. Did we have galbi? Did we have wagyu? KPOT literally charges $35 for all you can eat meat and bulgogi is on the bottom list of expensive meats! You could drive down to lotte Asian market down the road and get a giant bulgogi pack for $20 tops. But wait, want to know the funniest part? Sitting in my car for over 5 minutes, the waiter who gave us our check actually had the AUDACITY to step outside and find me to ask why I left no tip. He came up to my car and I told him we paid over $100 for food we didn’t even ask for and no one bothered to truly serve us or even try to address our concern. I barely touched the food at all, I left 70% of it. To which he said literally NOTHING and walked away. Not even an apology. You guys are literally robbing people of their money thinking they don’t know the price of Korean food? No wonder the place was so empty. Please, SAVE YOUR MONEY. You can go to Ktown Food Gallery 32 in Manhattan for a real lunch special, pay $20-30 tops, and have a more authentic meal. Shame on you guys.

The portions are smaller than I expected, not just myself but my boyfriend also agrees.Their stew dishes are weak in taste compared to many other Korean restaurants I’ve ate at.You can also tell if a Korean restaurant is good by their kimchi. For this place, it was not good. Kimchi was stiff and had no flavor.
