“5/24 Update, the restaurant invited me back for a meal to redeem their service. To be fair, the restaurant was busy for yellowtail season so understandable.

The food was amazing, we got the scallops rice, salon pasta, Wagyu ribs and the clam soup. I prob would do without the scallop rice for future but everything else hit the spot. Esp my favorite, the clam soup.

Thank you Won and the Capitan of the restaurant for taking care of us! I will definitely be back soon again.

Previous update: Came as a party of one, was seated immediately. Sat and waited for 30mins, no one came to serve me or take my order.

Trendy spot, was excited to try the food, but terrible service.“

“Absolutely wonderful — hands down one of the best meals of the trip. Every dish we ordered was excellent: the watermelon salad, tuna, mandu, steak and potatoes, tteokbokki, and the sesame bread and butter pudding were all full of flavor and beautifully presented.

I loved the Korean-fusion small-plates concept — creative, shareable and really well executed. The cocktails were also excellent.

We sat at the bar for a 5 p.m. dinner before a 7 p.m. show, and the timing was perfect. Service was sharp, everything came out at just the right pace, and the bar had such a lively, engaging atmosphere with great conversation from the team.

Fun, flavorful, beautifully plated and full of energy. Would absolutely come back.“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“Overall very impressed with the food quality, especially the melt in your mouth tender meats. Appreciate how the meats are halal & no alcohol is served. Prashant is an absolute delight - knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. He and the whole staff made dinner a wonderful experience.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Amazing experience tonight enjoying the bar menu. The team created a pitch perfect vibe, it felt like I was at a dinner party with friends (who just happen to be wizards at food and wine tasting menus). The service was exceptional: friendly and familiar yet still very high standard when it came to the details just as any other restaurant of this level. The food had some really standout dishes and the drinks pairings were so boldly experimental and amazing. I won't soon forget my experience at Atomix.“

“Really good food. Unique service and prices are the best. I totally recommend if you want a real Korean bbq. I travel from Connecticut to flushing NY totally worth it.“

“Great place to decompress, Service is A+.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“This is the todo spicy Kim chi hot pot & The rice cakes with vegetables and Tofu“

“I loved it all! We got the shared galbi dish with two cold noodle dishes. The banchans were stellar, the other reviews didn’t miss on those, but for me the spicy cold noodle was truly amazing. I’d almost just want it as its own dish, but very happy we got it.

I’d recommend the galbi to anyone or the mini galbi, eat it with some kimchi!“

“Brilliant Korean spread at Cho Dang Gol in midtown Manhatten. Specializes in tofu dishes so we plumped for the spicy tofu hotpot but also ordered some tasty beef and zucchini pancakes and spicy gochujang chicken. This eatery features on the Michelin guide and is always packed, and rightly so! Maybe a little on the sweeter side for my taste but isn’t everything in the USA? 😜 Regardless, it was stupid tasty and we inhaled everything“

“Dining at Joo Ok in New York felt incredibly special to me as a Korean. I had visited Joo Ok in Korea several times with my parents, so I came with fond memories and high expectations. Somehow, the New York experience felt even more refined and memorable. The cuisine has evolved beautifully while preserving the traditional techniques, flavors, and soul of Korean cooking.

Every course was thoughtful, sophisticated, and deeply rooted in Korean culinary tradition. Even the desserts carried a sense of jeong, the warmth, generosity, and affection that are so uniquely Korean. I especially loved the beautiful tableware by Korean artist Myung Wook Huh. The vessels were works of art in themselves, and seeing the food presented alongside pieces by Korean artists made each course feel almost like an artwork of its own. There was a beautiful harmony between the food, the craftsmanship, and the space.

The interior was warm and intimate and made me feel as though I were back in Korea, while the New York city view outside created an almost dreamlike contrast. The service was gracious, polished, and genuinely warm.“

“We had such a wonderful dinner here! The short rib, pork belly, and perilla oil noodles were all absolutely delicious, and the drinks were complex, refreshing, and perfect for a humid summer evening.

A special shoutout to Jamie, who was only on her second day and was already so attentive, patient, and warm. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back! ✨“

“The best Korean cold noodle in Manhattan—and maybe all of NYC! They’re Pyongyang-style cold noodles served in a mild, delicate broth. The noodles have a high buckwheat content. I would rank them alongside some of the top-tier, authentic cold noodle houses in South Korea. A little more generous amount of garnish would be great, though.

Hwangtae hot noodles come in a clean, delicate, yet flavorful broth, finished with fresh perilla oil. I could tell high-quality ingredients (pollock and perilla oil) were used.

I truly enjoyed them. The sides and appetizers were high quality as well. I would visit this place again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of My Favorite Korean Restaurants! Seoul BAP is not just another Korean restaurant — the food is absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of rich, authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist. It’s truly one of the best Korean dining spots in the city. The cocktail menu is just as exciting — featuring creative drinks that perfectly match the vibe and flavor of the food. 🍹 Spicy Passionfruit Margarita – bold and vibrant with a Korean-inspired kick. 🥃 Bourbon Bee Hive – smooth, rich, and full of depth. 💜 Lavender Skies – crafted with premium gin infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender, finished with a touch of Amaro — simply elegant. And the newest favorite everyone’s asking for: 🌺 Midnight Hibiscus – a hibiscus-infused vodka cocktail with elderflower and gentle sweetness. It’s beautifully balanced and pairs perfectly with Seoul BAP’s contemporary Korean cuisine. Best enjoyed with Taylor Swift’s Opalite playing in the background! 🎶✨ Come check out Seoul BAP — where Seoul meets style, flavor, and good vibes all in one place.“

“Beautiful it an amazing place and genesis is my dream car the bloom tonic was amazing all the cars are so cute the staff is amazing never had the food to expensive without knowing how it truly taste but the overall car experience is so worth checking out if u are in ny“

“Lovely, focused menu centered entirely on stewed beef in different formats. The soups are great but this is a place best visited with ravenous friends: you'll need extra mouths to feed to surmount the towering galbi-jjim, the best thing here and the best I've had. Staff do a great job too.“

“visit this place twice this month, the kids love it a lot. many different type of rice cakes 🍠 yam rice cake us my favorite 😍“

“Nice soup 🍜 delicious .....“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“We had a really great experience here! The staff were kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal, and the service was smooth from start to finish. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. We really enjoyed the food as well and would definitely come back again! 🫶“

“Family-run feel—friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The vibe is local and authentic. The food is the highlight, with well-balanced flavors that let the natural taste of the meat and fresh eel shine. Fresh banchan is another nice touch. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Delicious and very well prepared dishes.“

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

“I enjoyed the BBQ here. Our server is super friendly. Haven't eaten BBQ in a while so we all crave for it and it's a perfect time to take my son's gf who visited us here in NY. Definitely recommend this restaurant. We all enjoyed it. Cheers 🥂🍾🥓🥩“

“SEOUL TOFU is a solid option if you’re craving some good old-fashioned Korean food. This replaced Witch Topokki but they didn’t change much other than their food menu. You can still see traces of the old restaurant on the table and on their silverware.

Seafood Pancake 10/10 - So crispy! I like pancakes that are crispy all around the edges and contain a lot of seafood.
Grilled Yellow Croaker 8/10 - Good value but a tad too salty.
Kimchi Beef Soon Tofu 9/10“

“The server was very helpful and always trying to accommodate to my requests. Specially Isabelle“

“very enjoyable meal today at lunchtime. thr staff were amazing helping us pick and choose. service a+“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“Went for restaurant week and the appetizers and the main courses were all very plentiful and flavorful. The execution was unique but it worked quite well. The desserts were a decent way to end the meal. The flight was a nice experience although theyre more like traditional spirits so make sure thats your cup of tea.“

“One of the nicest Korean restaurants I’ve been to in the entire United States. It has a great atmosphere that reminds me of an upscale restaurant in Busan. The dishes were delicious and the portions generous. The best part was the price - possibly the best deal for the quality of the atmosphere and the food.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.“

“What an amazing dining experience. The food and service are well deserving of a Michelin Starred restaurant. We were treated like honored guests and each course was more amazing then the last. The wines paried perfectly with our meal as well. The chefs were affable and happily answered all our questions about the amazing works of art placed in front of us. I cannot wait to go back to Noksu in the future.“

“Such a great spot!! The food was really good, the vibe was fun and cozy, and everyone was super nice and welcoming. We had such a good time here and felt really taken care of. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to friends. 5 stars for sure!“

“We arrived around 7:25 pm Sat night. After a ~25 mins wait time we got a table. From the time food arrived to done eating it was about another 30 mins.

We ordered the beef bbq combo for 4 + seafood pancake + raw beef tartar. All food is good. My fav meat is the next to premium short rib. There are 6 different kinds of side dishes for free. All very nice.

Good place for k bbq.“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! And the staff were a huge help in explaining what the different selections were if we had questions. From the appetizer, to the entree and the most gorgeous dessert bite! It leaves you wanting more. Definitely excited to come back again soon and try more on the menu!“

“The best Korean barbique at Korea town 😍 💖“

“Absolutely delicious! I stopped by for lunch and had such a great experience. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and everything was clean and well-presented. The food and side dishes were flavorful and really suited my taste. Everything tasted fresh and unique—definitely different from other places I’ve tried. Highly recommend!

And the vibe is giving retro vintage Seoul“

“Walked in on a whim and had a blast! Can’t go wrong with Korean bbq, but this place is choice. Remember — every bite is a celebration, so wrap that meat in some lettuce with just a touch of all the fixings, 1 bite, then chase with Soju (unflavored — don’t be American) followed by Korean beer (my recommendation is Terra).“
