“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.“

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

“Delicious pea salad, steak and potatoes with chimichurri, and black sesame bread pudding. The staff was incredibly cognizant of timing since I was seeing a show. I would absolutely go back for the steak and potatoes alone! The scallop crudo could have used more balance on the acidity but that is my only note.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Prime No.7. David looked after me from start to finish and his customer service was genuinely 10/10. He was friendly, professional, and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Easily the best service I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending David to everyone I know.“

“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.“

“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“

“Had dinner on a weekday here with a reservation and was seated almost immediately. They give you cold barley tea which was refreshing. We ordered the galbi Jim with the fried rice add on and hot white noodles, and the perilla leaf soy bean stew. The galbi jim was very tender an a big enough portion for three people. Adding the fried rice was a nice end to the meal and tasted great with the bits of beef. The stew was very interesting, never had that at other Korean spots and was comforting on a chilly day. The hot noodles were decent wish the noodles were a bit more al dente but the broth was excellent and very clean tasting. There were a bunch of banchans that came with the meal and my favorites were the soy egg, spinach, potato pancake, and kimchi. Overall, it was a good meal and everything tasted good and was fresh. Portions were just right and we were pretty stuffed for 3 people. Would also recommend the mocktails, they were light and refreshing. The menu is not that extensive but you can find a lot of interesting items that you don't typically find in other Korean spots.“

“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“

“We dined at Joo Ok celebrating our wedding anniversary. From the minute we walked into a freight elevator entrance, curiosity and suspense peeked.

It’s a twelve course menu, thoughtfully executed with love in each bite. The artistry in a few of dishes were meticulously detailed.
Our top three courses were Ganjang, Crustacean and Gui. The perilla oil with the razor clams and caviar was surprisingly light, sweet with a hint of saltiness from the caviar. The langoustine was perfectly cooked, buttery sweetness. The waygu beef was tender, rich and mouthful of flavors.

The service was outstanding, attentive and friendly. Kyle was passionate about his craft, transported us through a culinary experience with his detailed explanation of the different ingredients and chef’s thoughts that goes into each dishes. Kyle and his colleagues highly deserved a shout out!

We dines at other’s Michelin Korean restaurants, from one to three stars. Joo Ok deserves their two stars in our opinions.“

“Hojokban is one of my favorite Korean fusion spots and it never disappoints every time I visit. The food is always absolutely yummy, and some of my must-order dishes are the truffle potato pancake, beef tartare, and bossam. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing Korean fusion food!“

“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“

“Overall, a good meal with a few highlights and a few misses

The standout for me was the buckwheat ice cream. I expected a rough, grainy texture, but it was surprisingly smooth with a subtle buckwheat aroma. The sweetness was very restrained and only became noticeable after a few bites, which made it especially enjoyable. The mushroom rice was another favorite. The seasoning was spot on and brought out the natural flavor of the mushrooms. The combination of green onions and mushrooms also looked beautiful on the plate. The fried chicken was solid as well, tender and well cooked

The beef patty was fairly average and didn’t leave much of an impression. The vegetable tempura, unfortunately, was the weakest dish of the meal. The batter was uneven, and there seemed to be too much residual oil, making it feel quite heavy

The seating arrangement was the other downside. We were seated in a corner where 3 tables had been placed in a relatively small area, which felt a bit cramped. The experience would probably be much more enjoyable in one of the more open seating areas

Overall, some dishes were excellent, some were less memorable, but the buckwheat ice cream alone was worth trying.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Delicious and very well prepared dishes.“

“Nice soup 🍜 delicious .....“

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

“Great times and great ambience!“

“Busy for a weekday lunch, but there are seats. Ambience is café-ish and comfortable. Liked the bright space and high ceiling. Waitstaff was very attentive and kind. Ample banchan and barley tea. Prices were very reasonable for the area. Food tasted healthy and delicious.

Banchan - kimchi was really spicy but yummy. Seaweed, spinach and fried tofu tasted fresh and healthy. Also had a side of fish. Too many bones but the meat is well-cooked and tender.

Cold noodles - kimchi-style so a little sourish. But refreshing.

Mushroom rice - mushroom was well-seasoned. Great dish overall.“

“Woodam is definitely worth a visit! The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent. Our waitress was warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. Great value for the quality of the food and overall dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This place became my place to go definitely!!! I had ‘Galchi jorim’ yesterday. It was BEST in NY!!!! I don’t enjoy korean food here NJ and NY bcz too sweet!!! But this place was perfect. Maybe it’s not fancy place if you are looking for but food was authentic!! The owner was very friendly!!“

“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“

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

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

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

“Lowkey one of the best meals I’ve had recently. The whole experience felt super polished without being overly formal, which made it even better for a date night.

The shrimp tempura was insanely crispy on the outside while still juicy inside. Super light batter, not greasy at all, and the texture was honestly perfect.

The yellowtail sashimi tasted incredibly fresh and buttery. It literally melted in my mouth, and the sauce added just enough brightness and acidity without overpowering the fish.

The tuna & salmon hand roll was probably my favorite. The seaweed was still crispy when it came out, and the tuna had that rich, clean flavor that makes you immediately want another one. Really balanced and well executed.

Also have to mention the staff because everyone was genuinely warm and attentive the entire time. You can tell they care about the experience, not just the food.

Definitely one of those spots that feels stylish and elevated while still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the night.“

“This food Court has Korean food for under $12. Everything is pre made. You can warm the food up in the microwave. There are tables to eat at. We got beef bulgogi , fish cake, kimbap and tokayi. It was a decent meal for the price“

“Visited for the first time and had a great experience. The galbijjim was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the naengmyeon paired perfectly with it. All of the side dishes were fresh and tasted homemade. The staff was friendly and attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Amazing. Love the flavors. Worthy of their Michelin star.
Obviously every dish can't be a favorite but I'd highlight the tuna-beet dish, the add-on (pay for more) caviar, the duck, tile fish, peekatoe crab, abalone w/ broth.
Service was on point as expected of a restaurant of this level. Love the chef coming over just to chat.
Can't fault them for the ac not working. though.“

“It’s too far and lonely in the area by the time we got here BUT!!!!! Really loved the vibe here and the food are soooooooooooo good! And the drinks are good too I mean I know how to enjoy the sojus hahaha. Really recommend this place, it’s a hidden gem for me! ✨
I don’t know if we’d have the same taste but you should try it out! It’s so peaceful here. ^^“

“The best Korean barbique at Korea town 😍 💖“

“What a cute little storefront - one day I’d love to come through and get some take-home meals from them. Thought the noodles in my jjajangmyeon were quite fresh, and I could feel how heavy they were as I tried to eat them with the chopsticks.“

“I love this place. Whether you want some k-bbq or kalbi-tang or even some nangmyun, this is always the perfect place!
The waiters are very attentive and helpful.
I’ve tried different k-bbq places in NJ but wooga is the best among them.
Specially their yookhye is the best of the best. I love korean style beef tartare and no place can beat it. I can eat it literally every day 😆“

“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.“
