I don’t know if I’ve ever been treated this well at a restaurant. My friends and I feasted like kings. Our server showed us exactly how to compose the most delicious bites imaginable and kept us plied with meat, soju, and beer. We ended up with second helpings of quite a few things on the house and had the time of our lives. If you want to take your friends or family out for a real treat, this is the spot!!!

It is busy and crowded with customers. Even though customers were coming in during the evening, the young owner was kind enough to tell us that we were on a trip. Pork belly, noodles, steamed eggs, old-fashioned lunch boxes, soft tofu stew, cheese corn flakes, and house beer are all delicious, and they even provide dessert as a service. The hall is small, but it is a delicious restaurant where you can enjoy a highly satisfying dinner.

Came in for dinner on a rainy day/night. It was quite busy and crowded. We didn’t have any reservations but they allowed us a table anyway provided we leave by a certain time (in the event it gets more crowded at a later time). Their food overall was excellent. Service was superb (assuming to monitor our time). The place isn’t too big, but since it’s NYC, can’t really complain or expect it to be otherwise.

Service very very very very very good!
All banchan super yummy!
Can get smoky very quickly and sometimes oil will splash onto my arm.
I don’t taste much difference of the pork as it’s dry aged.

After a LONG day of walking and exploring Manhattan we stopped here. The beautiful Lauren was incredibly nice to us amateurs and so patient. Jack took over from there and we had an amazing meal that gave us the energy to get back to the hotel with a smile on our faces. The food was beyond delicious and the service was beyond amazing. I look forward to seeing you again!
Great high quality meat, tasty sides & fantastic service!
FOOD: Took my brother here for his birthday and ordered the dry aged pork tasting. Had a variety of fresh belly and dry-aged pork - tender and savory. The sides (kimchi, radish, veggies, corn cheese, mushroom, egg souffle, and the best side of all, the scallion pancake.
AMBIANCE: This spot may not look like a lot, kind of looks like a dimly lit diner but has some really modern touches - neon signs and bronze plating. I do have to say that it’s super small and narrow inside; we didn’t have much room on our table for our plates and the grill in front of us. More space to dine would have helped but it wasn’t terrible. They did have tables for larger groups and they seemed to make out fine.
SERVICE: The sever we had was really great - he made some suggestions for sake and soju pairings to go with whichever meat we chose and was really attentive. Told the secret it was my brothers birthday and they gave if free ice cream with a candle.
OVERALL: I’d definitely come back. Price wasn’t too wild for what we ordered and was really good quality.
The set menu was awesome and plenty of food for two. Servers were totally on top of things and very friendly. Restaurant was very loud but it was a Friday night and the soju was flowing. Awesome experience!

I came here with friends after work on a Wednesday and there was no one and it was great. It did fill up later on eventually. The way staff was really nice and the place was cute and clean. The chairs opened up so you can put your things inside so it doesn't smell like you were bbqing yourself. All the wait staff was really nice and friendly. The exhaust didn't seem to work that great once there were a few table bbqing because at some point it did get very smoky but other than that it was a great dinner.
We got the dry aged pork tasting menu which included pork belly, 14 day aged collar and 21 day belly. Of course it came with the various veggie ban chans, egg souffle, choice of stew which we we got soondubu and deoenjang which were both good . We got the bibim cold noodle and it was also nice and refreshing. At the end, we ended up getting the 30 day aged belly as extra. This piece was the most delicious, but it was also $55 for one piece/portion. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the meat in the tasting menu, but this 30 day version was amazing. The flavor was rich compared to the other meats.
For drinks we got the homemade grape soju and I don't tend to like alcohol but I actually drank some and was pleasantly happy at the end of the meal. I also got their regular grape drink called bong bong and like most sweet drink was sweet and delicious with pieces of grape inside. And finally we got our dessert which was lemon ice cream with strawberry syrup and some Graham crackers on top and this was also very good and not that sweet. They said this changes every so often so you never know what flavor you'll get.

Such a vibe here. The outside of this place is quite unassuming, but once you step inside, you’re hit with a nostalgic, retro vibe that feels like a vintage roadside pocha. The atmosphere is perfectly put together, with great food, a carefully chosen playlist, and thoughtful decor — everything shows the careful attention to detail. And it is no surprise that this is the latest addition to the Chef Shim empire (Kochi and Mari).
I enjoyed the food very much, but I thought the dishes could use a bit more authentic spice and flavor. I felt like they toned down the flavors to suit a more American palate. Still very good though and worth checking out if you’re in the area.
They are a pork only bbq btw.

I had dinner on August 17th and while the food was good, I encountered an incredibly disappointing attitude from one of the staff members. While I was ordering, I pointed to the menu to indicate what I wanted. Suddenly, another server, without any warning, approached from behind—completely outside my line of sight—and handed over soy sauce, which knocked into my hand and spilled onto my white clothing.
I wouldn't have been so upset if the server had at least apologized, but instead, he gave me a look of annoyance, as if the incident was my fault, and walked away without even offering a replacement sauce. While the server at our table was quite attentive, this particular incident left me extremely angry. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
