I entered Food Gallery 32, located on West 32nd Street between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue, in order to find a hearty meal after work. If you cruise through the first floor and walk straight ahead behind the staircase, you will find a hidden treasure known as Seoul Menu. They have plenty of variety when it comes to Korean cuisine and other delicious plates that are well worth the visit.
I specifically tried the garlic chicken and much to my surprise the food was bountiful and delicious. I was served garlic chicken with rice and some cabbage along with a side of miso soup that truly hit the spot. I didn't expect to receive so much food at such a great price in today's economy ($10-$15) and I also tried a side of dumplings that served as the perfect appetizer before dinner. In terms of service, the staff members provided a lovely atmosphere and were knowledgeable about the menu when I had my questions about the menu (the menu has plenty of options, you will want to try everything!). I absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for a tasty meal in the heart of Koreatown.
P.S.: Non-Spicy and Spicy lovers would equally enjoy this establishment.

Was not expecting a lot, but it fell very short. Noodles were overcooked and mushy, jjang sauce was bland, and portions were small. The chicken tasted like it was frozen and I could buy a better version from Trader Joe’s.

Gross… absolutely horrible — Who would actually think this is Korean food?! Not a Korean (ME!). Jajangmyeon was basically over cooked pasta noodles (fettuccine?) that fell apart as I picked it up. Dduk Bokki had ZERO flavor & very corn starchy!
And to top it all off, grub hub delivered it with zero utensils (to a hotel delivery!!?). 2 barely edible noodles and 1 bland tasteless ddukbokki for nearly $70.
2 stars for how quickly it came (30-35mins).
Just flew in and starving g so had no choice to eat this crap.

Sesame chicken was quite bad. The noodles were fine, but almost cold. At least the sauce of the chicken was good, but the meat itself didn’t taste very well. I would’ve expected a better quality for 20$ - can’t recommend this!

bad service, bad ingredients, bad restaurant. if you want to waste $20+, at least watching it blow away in the wind would provide better enjoyment. the jjajangmyeon tasted like it was cooked in the tears of the previous victims who were baited by the name “seoul”. avoid at all costs; there are plenty of other tourist traps that offer better vibes with the equal amount of tasteless disappointment.

Me: can we have pho? Seoul: we have pho at the shop Pho at the shop:
This was more disappointing than buying a signed baseball, and getting a wiffle ball with a fake signature because nobody knows what the f- it is and the only part that's authentic is the name.
Between the layer of oil at the top to the stuff at the bottom that reminds me of really delicious sand, I think the most enjoyable part was the bulgogi-like meat which I felt fortunate to be able to partake in given the apparent beef shortage at the restaurant. However when I finished the beef at approximately the 3 second mark, the fallback of soggy onions and carrots did not live up to my pho expectations.

I went for lunch. This was the only vendor that had a long line in front of it but I don't know why. I got the black bean noodles and it was mediocre. I didn't get enough radish as you can see in my picture.
Visited on a Friday to try their Jajangmyun, had to wait in line some but was worth the wait. The dish was savory and delicious, will come back.

Food (jjamppong) was tasteless and appeared to be old, and extremely oily, definitely no fresh ingredients used. For the amount of money spent, you’re better off spending your money on the stall next to it (noona’s noodle) i regret giving this dish a try at this stall.

Ordered the sesame chicken to go and I swear it tasted like gooey old re-microwaved chicken. The ‘freshly-cut’ pickled radish tasted warm and had no crunch texture, and on top of that even the rice had the consistency of powdered baby food. I actively feel sick to my stomach and hope people take these reviews seriously.These businesses really need to be regulated, especially since they charge so much with little resolution but I will still inquire about a refund.Shame on this stall.
