Very nice place, staff is unresponsive, finished out water and was trying to flag a staff member for the whole time and were ignored. Nice lunch special

Samsara is the best waiter here. Look for her when you get a table here. Food tasted better because she was here

Spicy Pork Bibimbap totally made my day! Hearty tender pork and robust gochujang sauce, plus all those crisp veggies, warmed me up at Barn Joo. MealPal always comes through with meals like this.

The meat was so fresh. The beef is extremely good high-quality. You don’t feel sick after you eat it. You digest everything super well I cannot wait to be back. Wow what an amazing Korean barbecue. It’s hard to find the vibe is immaculate.

The food is definitely way overpriced than other local Korean food restaurants 🥹portion size are okay, not big and taste just also standard. The atmosphere is good, but definitely not worthy to spend over $100 for a lunch

Super cozy spot to take friends for some elevated Korean food. For starters, we had their truffle fries and crispy tofu from the tapas menu. Both were tasty but the crispy tofu was a real standout. I tried the Kimchi Fried Rice for my entree and it was quite balanced. Perfectly spicy and not overly salty like some other establishments.
Drinks were quite expensive, and frankly above what I was willing to pay for them. We tried the apple + pear infused soju, which was somewhat underwhelming. A mason jar-sized drink was $25.
Would highly recommend either going for all shareable tapas or all separate entrees, (skipping the drinks) if you're looking for a tasty bite at a more affordable price.

I was invited to a birthday dinner here. I was initially excited to have some Korean food. Upon looking at the menu, I found it difficult to find something that I would enjoy. However imagine my surprise when the one thing I love regarding Korean food, Bulgolgi, wasn't available as a standalone dish. Its only available as some rice bowl. It was soooo dry and not subtly sweet and flavorful at all. My husband wanted some more meat and we got a super thin 3 to 4 oz slice of ribeye that was about 1/4 inch thin for 54 dollars. The prices were very high against comparable K-BBQ places. I was aso seated in a spot where I had to climb over this massive wooden block every time I needed to get up. The drinks were good at least. We asked for our table's bill to be separate from the much larger party for ease of payment and were told it would be fine. Unfortunately, that wasnt the case at the end of the night and had to play zelle olympics with the rest of the guests. The servers were accomodating and nice. This is my first time dining in Manhattan in 3 years. Would I ever come back here? No.

This place was fun and not too busy on a snowy evening. Food was good and service was on point. Would definitely go back, especially with a big group. The bbq burners need to be turned up a notch!
