“Great food and service. 6 of us ordered 4 sets of BBQs and a few apps and entrees. We were more than full by the end of the meal. For around 100$ per person, great value for money. Staff was very kind and patient since was our first KBBQ experience. They surprised my friend with a birthday dessert in the end too. Highly recommend going there at least once. However, I wish they had more non-alcoholic options.“

“Excellent smoked BBQ. Korean spare ribs are must. "Regular" spare ribs and hot wings are also delicious. Self service. Prices moderately higher. Location is in Brooklyn and requires one hour commuting from Manhattan. Variety of draft beers, sodas, wines...“

“Higly recommend for hong kong cuisine in midtown. I had the duck noodle soup. Soup base and noodles were good. The duck was okay so I probably try some other protein instead next time. They have hk style milk tea which really made me happy. The portuguese tart flaky pastry crust and the filling was really good.“

“Super friendly and accommodating service.Fantastic Korean dishes not just bbq meats. The Korean beef tartare is so fresh with the Korean pear. The uni mentaiko rice is a must. The scallion pancake is fabulous too. The makku original carafe was a pretty large size and so good.For the meats, the marinated galbi is really good. But I wish they had a charcoal grill since that usually tastes way better.All in all, I’d totally keep coming back.“

“Was in the NY for the weekend visiting family from FL. Always wanted to try Korean BBQ and this place came up. Absolutely loved it. There was 7 of us walking around and they fit us right in. We ordered the 5-6 meal and 2 appetizers. And it was Plenty for everyone. Half way thru the meal my 10yr old leans over and tells me. "This is the best night of my life." He's a foodie. But check them out you should not be disappointed. Great job guys.“

“I liked the ordering with kiosk option where you could view pictures and customize your orders easily. I chose the Koba bowl. The portion size shocked me! My bowl looked like a mountain. It was satisfying to have that much food and a variety of stuff in only one bowl. Both food and service were amazing! With any order it also comes with a Korean snack of your choice.“

“HYUN is definitely more than just a restaurant, it’s an experience. We greatly enjoyed ourselves in the gorgeous atmosphere, and I loved the privacy of the booth we were seated in. We did the A5 Waygu beef platter, which was exceptionally delicious and came with more than enough food for us. The staff were all pleasant and provided exceptional service that helped to create such a wonderful experience.“

“It’s a great place for a quick grab and go or even just sit down and eat. Very casual you order first then find your seating. We got shu mai which was delicious, spicy mushroom dumping was not my favorite but my partner loved it, Shanghai pork dumplings were juicy, the BBQ pork roast was absolutely diviiiine a must try and the spicy cucumbers was just a nice refresher on top of everything. My partner and I were not disappointed!“

“We live about an hour away and travel to Harlem every month or so just to eat at dino bbq! The food is always exceptional and the service is great, Maria is our favorite waitress but everyone is very nice. We always go for lunch because it's less busy, otherwise there's always a crowd, especially at night, you could be waiting well over an hour so be sure to make a reservation.“

“I came here for the 1st time during restaurant week & I cannot wait to return back to try the rest of the menu.The staff & atmosphere was friendly & welcoming, you could tell locals come all the time. Everything I ordered was tasty, but the star of the show was my main entree, Moqueca (Brazilian fish stew with tomatoes, pepper, onions & coconut milk) - It was both comforting and flavorful.The fish was cooked to perfection (soft, tender & flaked easily with my fork), the coconuts milk stew was rich & robust in flavor, with a smooth enough consistency to coat your spoon. In summary, it was chefs kiss! ?“

“One of the few AYCE KBBQ spots in the area. Even on a Friday afternoon, this place gets really busy to the point where you have to wait for a table. The price per person is relatively fair compared to other places but I feel like you get fewer options for the Lunch menu. Normally, I would prefer more options but this time I liked having fewer options since I ordered more of the same meats. Rice, side dishes, dipping sauces, and fresh lettuce are all included in the AYCE. Drinks are not.“

“The happy hour pre-fix menu is so clutch, and they're friendly here! I've been to a lot of KBBQ restaurants and not all of them have the over head suction fan to draw the smoke away. I usually leave smelling like bbq, lol not this time!“

“I will say, Jongro BBQ is certainly delicious! However, I have a hard time justifying the price point. Their Korean BBQ is a la carte, and each meat item costs anywhere from $40-$60. I highly recommend coming with a group to help offset the cost. The meat is of higher quality than most KBBQ places I have been to. The quantity they give is not a lot per dish, but it's decent. Also, I'm not super impressed with their selection of banchan. I do highly recommend their steamed egg though! It was probably the best part of the meal. The nice thing about Jongro is the servers actually cook all your meat for you -- you don't need to cook any of it yourself. They have a 2 hour dine-in limit, so be mindful of how you spend your time there. It gets quite busy after 7pm during the nighttime, so plan accordingly. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend coming to Jongro if you want tasty KBBQ. However, I would just keep in mind the steep price point for what you actually get during your dining experience.“

“Dinner was incredible! The service was extremely attentive, food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. I really enjoyed the set menu, it was the right amount of food and even better bc we didn’t have to think about what to order. The meats were all so tender and the banchan was top tier. Definitely recommend.“

“Food is good but they raised their prices and it's only worthwhile if you can get them to actually bring the dishes you order. Sometimes we have difficulty getting orders in even when they're not that busy. Still, very solid place.“

“Personally think it’s the best hotpot location in midtown area! Also everything is clean and neat, including the bathroom. Drew was responsible for our table and he’s the best! Very attentive and responsive, helped us to do BBQ as well. Service was impeccable. Will come back!“

“Excellent taste!!! Once in a lifetime experience, literally. While food is great, lines are awfully long. You'd wait 2 hours in line before you can order. Food is dispatched quickly, but seating is very limited, and the place is crowded and loud. I'd love to go back, but perhaps on a week day.“

“Been awhile at Gyu Kaku especially east side with better views windowside. Big fan. Been to Tokyo location as well.Happy hour good bargain. $120 for 3. Couldn't eat all. Appetizers corn fair, salad ok, calamari good, beef sushi better. Meat selection good, but would hope less salty selection.Shame horumon (intestines) off the menu due to too much smoke.Thanks for changing grills diligently. Looks like much now no longer flat...S'more finish a treat. Service experienced. Not super courteous but sufficiently attentive.Nice visit back to memory lane. Seems much reward points expired... oh well.“

“If you are reading this because it's late, maybe it's cold, and street side yakitori feels like the the little planet you need to orbit in the vastness of NY space, then this is your sign to go. I went in the cold. Had a nice chat with a Michelin star sommelier who was there after work and loves this place. We ate lamb, chicken skin, mushrooms... chatted... went our separate ways. Perfect spot.“

“I love Anytime because the vibe is a bit more fancier than other regular pochas you would go to in Fort Lee or Palisades Park.The servers are always nice and attentive.The food is top notch.If you order the honey makgeolli (rice wine) the servers will slice up real honey and put it in your glass.“

“Wonderful dining experience at Omur’s Mediterranean Cuisine at 59 Ann (by the One World Trade center.). Food is fantastic, authentic, and fast, and the chef and staff here are humble and sweet. Good food, great people, convenient location, and wonderful experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it! 5-star for sure.“

“Easy to make a reservation, make sure to ask for a table with a grill if you want bbq. The chefs cook the meat in front of you, so the meat is always perfectly cooked. The meat from the prime rib bibimbap was surprisingly tender. The steamed egg was soo yummy. And fluffy!We will be coming back.“

“The quality (of the food), atmosphere (elegant and modern), and service of this restaurant are top notch. Step into this place and it’s as you’re transported to a restaurant at a fancy Seoul neighborhood. Dinner for 3 cost us $150 which was great value given the quality, atmosphere and service provided. For example, one of our dish was grilled clams and we were blown away by their size. They were gigantic, abundant and FRESH! The patrons were all locals and some families. Will definitely return.Parking: The restaurant has a free parking lot. There's also paid/unpaid (depending on the day/time) street parking, right in front of the restaurant.“

“Seriously the best kbbq in ktown, everytime I come great food and service. Even if you do not like intestines they have traditional kbbq options like porkbelly and beef shortribs. We got the classic and marinated assorted intestines, and the spicy grilled chicken as a side, all amazing!!!“

“I was on a solo excursion to Koreatown while visiting NY and dropped by as I saw recommendations for this place, and I’m VERY pleased I did.Got beef mandu jjim, a very complete selection of banchan, fluffy sticky rice and the most delicious ddukbaki bulgogi I’ve ever try.Coming back in June and I’ll definitely hit this spot again.“

“Another slam dunk. I've eaten at Don Don twice (and planning to go more soon!) and the cuts of dry aged pork, side dishes and black sesame ice cream is immaculate. Staff is super attentive and friendly as well.If it's your first time, definitely try out the dry age pork tasting. I've also eaten at a handful of KBBQ joints at NJ and although this isn't all you can eat, I left Don Don feeling just as full and satisfied. Will definitely swing by again in the near future after work!“

“It was a really nice experience with all of my friends last night. We went out as a group of six and made a reservation ahead of time. I like that the menu was on the phone and so that we could continuously see the menu so that we could keep ordering food when we wanted to. I love the all you can eat, and some of the little special items on the menu or a great addition as well. It was really busy but the ambience was nice. I’ve been to the one in Brooklyn and now I’ve been to the one in Chinatown Manhattan and both experiences were really great and I enjoyed both times out.“

“The food is always amazing, unique and generous portion size.Recently did a sheva brachos in house, and the owner and staff outdid themselves. They were attentive, accommodating and responsive. Also added some fish entrees for those who requested. They even set up Spotify Jewish music for us! The guests were comfortable and happy, and the restaurant did everything we contracted and more. Leftovers were packed nicely and efficiently for distribution. We would definitely do this again!Wheelchair accessibility: street level access“

“We tried the nearest KBBQ at the hotel we were staying and were not disappointed. The meat was nicely seasoned but the item that elevated the eating experience was the banchan. The seaweed was not too strong or salty and was delightfully tasty. Even the onions, which I don't typically eat, became one of my favorites. The pork belly was a nice thick cut. Service was excellent and the staff very attentive! I think I can say that about most Korean restaurants that I've been to.“

“Great spot for a casual BBQ night. The softest bbq meats that I've ever had if you're into that. I'm more of a chewy meat person so that was what was missing for me. But ultimately their meat has less fat and is just so easy to eat!We got the pastrami, ribs and brisket and some coleslaw. We liked the pastrami and the ribs the most. Very chill vibes with a cute outdoor garden.“

“It's one of my local favorites and a great place for good Korean BBQ in a quiet setting. Best dish is the Kal Bi (boneless short rib) and I'm also a fan of the Yun Aw (salmon). Both dishes are nicely marinated, juicy and delicious“

“Definitely a five star. The 8 spice toufu melt in your month, almost like cheese filling, crispy skin was just right. Mouth watery chili chicken nicely presented, meat is still kinda warm when it is served, flavor is good. Very authentic and exquisite chinese cuisine. Better than many restaurants in China for sure.“

“After visiting the Museum of Moving Image in Astoria we walked up the block and had a nice lunch at Pig Beach BBQ. My husband and I split the sampler platter which we both enjoyed. My favorite was the pulled pork and my husband’s favorite was the ribs.We were both surprised that it was more of a cafeteria style set up instead of sit down. To me that was probably the only drawback. But it was a very laid back casual atmosphere which a lot of people may find appealing.“

“My son said "Blue Smoke has the best brisket in NYC and maybe even TX too" I agree with him. The seasoning is perfect, the meat is super tender and moist, it just melts in your mouth, and we loved their homemade tortilla chips. It was our first time trying it. We started making bites with layers of mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, a piece of brisket w/their delicious sauce on top of their homemade tortilla chip, and to top it off, we would add a calbee hokkaido butter chip so both sides would be crunchy with savory gooey perfection in between. It's difficult to find a better bite and now we want to order it again now.“

“Eating here was a really fun and interesting experience for me and my family who are not really used to Korean food. There were different kind of side dishes that came when we ordered the bbq set which was refilled whenever we finished it. The overall food and service was really great and my family really enjoyed eating here.“

“Undisputed best Korean food restaurant in Ktown. Have been going here for years and every time I leave so happy after enjoying such an incredible meal. Highly recommend the items included in the pictures when with a group of friends. The soju is also an essential component of a fine Korean dining experience that pairs great with all food options“

“Slightly hard to write this review as I arrived a bit late to the meal. I went here months upon months ago. Not knowing that this was part of Dun Huang, I thought I went to the wrong restaurant but it turned out it was one and the same which was surprising. I was here with a group of nine others. As I arrived a bit late, the soup dumplings had already been there a while but they were still of very good quality. My favorite of the night was the Salted Egg Yolk & Shrimp Stir-Fried Rice Cakes. The texture of the rice cakes were perfect and the egg yolk complimented it well. I also liked the Dry Fried Shredded Eel & Chives. I also would have preferred them less shredded as I couldn't taste much of the eel texture but the sauce was nice and the blend with the chives added some good depth. The Fried Dough Twist Spicy Chicken or Laziji with Mahua was also surprisingly spicy for a restaurant which is primarily Shanghainese now so I guess they still have some influence from the old Dun Huang. I've had it before with these dough twists from the excellent Peppercorn Station and these rivaled that place even though the chicken there was a bit pricier but then again there was larger pieces of chicken in the latter. The Fish Fillets in Sour Cabbage Soup was also pretty solid as well as the Grilled Lamb Kebabs. You can essentially see Andie's review for the rest of my thoughts as they essentially reiterate hers. Yes it was too hot inside and as I was rushing to get there, I got warmer than most but oh well. Would go back but maybe go during the fall or winter if the AC isn't fixed yet. Mid 4“

“We ate here for a late lunch. We had the hotpot and bbq. The restaurant was clean and modern. We had a language barrier with our waitress but that didn’t make the experience bad and we were able to get all we wanted by the photos on the menu. We got 4 different individual hotpot’s to try. They were good but the vegetable one I was not a fan of but would be perfect for a vegetarian. The food was delicious and I would eat here again when we come back to visit again. This is a must try place.“

“Fairly packed for a Saturday afternoon, we took to seats at the bar instead of waiting. Dinosaur is probably best at the assortment of wings they offer, and the various pork products, so of course we got a pile of the hot wings (they're down a notch in heat from I associate with Hot, Medium, etc. generally), and the Duroc, which offered pulled pork, pork belly, and pork ribs on one plate and is just absolutely tasty, no notes, please don't add any sauce, just enjoy the smoky and the fall-off-the-bone ribs.The bartenders are unfailingly friendly and fun, and the quality beer list they oversee is a trademark of Dinosaur as well. Lots of local craft on offer, and as such, it's fresh on tap. Each time I visit I wonder why I don't visit more often!“

Came here to try their items and they were generously giving out a tray with variety of traditional Korean food like bulgogi, Kim chi, spicy pork with rice to try for free with small little sweet rice cakes.

“Delicious Korean BBQ - food is excellent and a good value at $37.95/person. Overall 5 stars because of food and service when you are seated. That being said the slight drawbacks are when arriving they didn’t seem to have a dedicated host and name taking/reservations seemed to be a little chaotic. Atmosphere is good however music is too loud - can make it difficult to make conversation. 11/10 would recommend.“
