You have to pay for all the food, but the hair in your food is free.
Furba Jangmu Sherpa
This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Despite seeing multiple negative reviews, we chose to visit because the restaurant was open late. Unfortunately, we found hair in two of our main dishes. When we brought this to the server’s attention, the lady became more argumentative and dismissive, even implying that we were trying to get free food. Her behavior was extremely rude. Overall, the experience was disappointing and completely unacceptable.

Looking around the area for dinner after getting off the subway at Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av and we walk into this place. We were seated right away as there was only one other table occupied with customers. We ordered the dumplings, bulgogi, chicken fried rice, and white rice for the kids. Service started out fine but towards the end, it just got worse and worse to the point we were told to wait to order a soda and get some soy sauce because she was busy. Mind you there’s only 3 occupied tables, 2 people each table and ours with 5 people (3 kids).
Food was actually decent. Nothing special, but decent.
When we went to pay our check, we left a $10 bill on the table and added an additional tip to charge to our card. Our server/front of house lady didn’t like that we added only $5 extra for tip on the card and demanded we put a higher tip. We tried to explain that we also left cash on the table in a very visible spot 4 feet from where we were standing. She was getting very loud with us telling us to leave a bigger tip. The other people in the restaurant were all looking at this situation unfold. Since we had 3 small kids and it was getting late, we just added a little more to the tip and left, rather than argue with her more about it.
Overall, I don’t recommend dining here because of the rude service and the hassle they will give you when you try to pay/tip.

If you're looking for K bbq...there are many other options..but this place serves authentic Korean style soups, stews, casseroles and their mackerel is great. The service is great and the atmosphere is quaint and the server lady is warm and caring...Korean hospitality at its best 👌

Their food is not worth the price they ask for. I ordered Seafood soup Haemul Jeongol. But the soup that they served was absolutely different and tastes so bad. Not even single piece of shrimp, oyster, mushrooms and vegetables are included. They only put the cheap small white fish pieces and two crab pieces without any meat in it. They only put kimchi and soy sauce, tofu and 2 to 3 pieces of white fish and meatless crab. So disappointed. And also the service is also so bad. I also ordered fried oyster pancake. Same thing happened. Only two or three pieces of small oyster and it’s not crunchy enough. Total was $71 for pancake + seafood soup + beef tripe soup and tip 18% which is a mandatory. I won’t go back there again.

Whoever is thinking about going there, please don’t. Trust me-the food wasn’t good, and the service was even worse. they asked for tips like robbery. It was my first time there, and I’m completely done with this restaurant.

being here is like being home. this is the best, most comforting restaurant in the neighborhood. everything on the menu is delicious, but their galbitang is truly truly out of this world. the korean ladies fuss over you and make sure you finish your radishes. the services are super fast. such a neighborhood hidden gem.

my third time visiting, but the experience was honestly shocking. The staff were extremely rude, and I actually heard them talking badly about customers in Korean, assuming foreigners wouldn’t understand. They said things like “She only left a $4 tip, how disgusting,” and other insulting comments right in front of customers. I couldn’t believe it.
The food wasn’t good either. The broccoli tasted spoiled, and when I tried to ask something, most of the older staff didn’t even respond.
When I went to pay, they asked if I wanted the tip automatically included or separated. When I said I would pay the tip separately, the staff member literally questioned me — “Why? Why separate? Just include it, 18% is accurate.” Her tone was confrontational and rude. If the service had been decent, I would’ve gladly tipped 18%, but the attitude was so unpleasant and disrespectful that I honestly wanted to leave zero. I still left a small amount only because she kept staring at me aggressively.
This place is truly the worst Korean restaurant experience I’ve had in New York. I’ve lived here for years and have never written a review like this, but I’m honestly shocked. The first time I visited, there were flies and mosquitoes inside — the hygiene was terrible.
I’m never going back. The staff are unbelievably rude and unprofessional.

Awful service listen to the reviews go somewhere else. The ladies will demand more tip from you, for a horrible service. Given attitude while we were ordering, making us feel so uncomfortable, very disappointed. Taste of food was not bad.
Very shameful place. Went to eat with friends and the energy was nasty. The employees FORCED us to give a higher tip than what we already provided. Hope they see this because these people were rude and disrespectful.

If you want quality food and to be treated well stay clear from this place. My friend and I walked in and no one welcomed us, but that’s ok we’re just here for food, right? We get our food and they taste a little “old” and not all that good (we got the tteokbokki and bulgogi bibimbap) compared to the Korean food we get at Seoul tofu in flushing or BCD tofu house in manhattan (which I do recommend). Which even then is ok, we wanted to try a new local place near us and we found out it’s not for us, no biggie. My problem lies in the fact that both servers were deep in their phones to the point where it took me a good ten minutes to even get their attention for water. And then when we were done, another ten minutes to get their attention for the check. In fact, several times one of them did glance at us and made eye contact only to immediately look away, hello? But fear not, all their words and attention suddenly appeared when it came time to sign our receipt and give them a tip. That lady all of a sudden did not shy away from eye contact, standing right next to our table literally staring us down. Obviously we didn’t want to give them 18% being that their service was beyond terrible, but still we decided to give them 15%. She counted the cash in front of us and suddenly she was able to speak and let us know we actually owe her one more dollar. Really? For a dollar you had to act that shameless knowing how terrible your service was? Whatever, we gave it to them and left vowing to never come back and to write a review. And guess what? They didn’t even bid us good night or even a thank you as we left. For $20 a dish, please go elsewhere where they actually care about your patronage and please read the other reviews if you don’t believe me, all have said the same. Never will I be back, I don’t support those who only care about me when it comes to tipping them.

This is the only Korean place close to where we live so we decide to go and try .one old lady served us . We used some of the bbq sauce with the bbq .middle of our bbq time the server took all the bbq sauce and put them back at the cabinet with their lids, we were shocked to see and keep an eye on the server if she uses the same bbq sauce for other customers.after few minutes one couple came in for dine in and the server served the same bbq sauce which she took from our table . This was horrible and we decided to give very less tip $25 the server rejected the tip saying this is too less, minimum tip is 18% and all so we didn’t want to make big issue since we were with our cousin who recently moved here and gave 15% . Please don’t give the same experience to other customers. Do improve your service and food quality so that other customers will definitely give you better tip . Worst experience ever
