Nubiani has seriously huge portions! The two of us just ordered the Beef Small Package, and it was still a ton of food — we were so full by the end. The set came with rice, steamed egg, soup, a big plate of fresh salad, and BBQ condiments. Definitely great value for the amount you get.
We also got the beef patty + squid patty on the side. They serve it half-and-half on one plate — the beef patty is made with a whole piece of beef, super flavorful, and the squid patty is fragrant, tender, and bouncy. Both were really tasty.
Their cocktail list is mostly classic, and the alcohol content runs pretty high. If you’re used to sweeter, lighter drinks, you might want to think twice before ordering.

It was so salty that I couldn’t even take a single bite. The quality is nowhere near what you get when you eat at the Nubiani restaurant. If they’re going to offer delivery service from the restaurant, shouldn’t they at least make sure it meets a basic standard? I’m really disappointed—I don’t think I’ll ever order again.

Overall food was excellent. However, given the reviews and comparisons to Cote, I expected a more sophisticated experience. I brought a nice bottle of wine because of the expected quality of the meat. I was met with a hefty $100 corkage fee, which overall would be fine except that I was met with a blank stare when I asked for a decanter. I was also surprised that there was no sommelier despite a wine menu that included bottles in the $700 range. Finally they found a decanter and were about ready to pour the red into chilled champagne flutes before I asked for red wine glasses. Ultimately not a deal breaker except that an hour and 10 minutes into service they tried say that they had a reservation coming in 20 minutes despite the fact that we were still only about 3/4 way through our meal. The food was excellent, but expectations should be that it is simply a slightly higher quality than standard Korean BBQ. If you’re selling quality meat and expensive wine, be prepared to provide service that warrants a corkage fee of $100

It was a lovely and high scale experience but there was nothing particularly memorable about the barbecue flavors or service. The complimentary ice cream dessert was a pleasant surprise but overall I wasn’t convinced to come back again

Came to celebrate a birthday with my girlfriend and made sure to leave a clear note in the reservation. It is a shame because we love this spot and have been multiple times. Food atmosphere was great as usual but the lack of attention to a special occasion left us very disappointed.
We would have loved to celebrate future occasions here but will probably not after this experience.

I dined here with 3 girl friends on July 10 and the assistant manager (tall Korean guy with thin frame glasses) made a very inappropriate sexual comment about my friend.
As we were finishing up our meal and getting ready to head towards the elevator, the assistant manager came over and hovered over to say to my friend that “I like your rib tattoo. It’s very sexy.” Mind you, my friend’s tattoo is located on the side of her rib cage - it was half covered by her dress and in a more private part of her body. We initially left the building to try to brush this incident off, but decided that it was completely inappropriate and returned to ask to speak to the general manager about what we had just experienced. My friend who had the comment made on her felt so uncomfortable that she ended up waiting for us outside while we go inside to speak to the general manager.
The manager was professional, and as we recounted what had happened, he said that he was very sorry, will do a better job at training his staff, and gave us his business card, but said twice that “I’m sure he didn’t mean it in that way.” I’m sorry, what other way could he have meant?
The comment was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional, especially in a public setting where she came to enjoy a meal—not to be sexualized by someone working there.

Service was impeccable and the meat was amazing quality. The sides are unlimited and absolutely delicious. The steamed egg is one of the best i’ve had at a KBBQ. Definitely recommend for a special event. Usually KBBQs have ok meat quality but the quality and marbling here was amazing.
The small beef package is more than enough for 2 people! However I got the large for leftovers.
