Decent bar, with a cool but chilled vibe. Not too busy and the food was great. We tried the wings and pancakes, which were both great with the wings being a bit too spicy but that was probably what Korean food was about. We did not do karaoke but overall it was worth the

Turntable is an absolute gem in K-Town! Amazing drinks (the lychee martini is ?), wings (oh the crunch!) and service is phenomenal. Super cool setup with vintage art on the walls and a great vibe all around. Highly recommend!

Really good food, but the staff never checked on us after one round of drinks and giving us our food so that was odd.

Really fun place to have the gathering. However, rooms are very small, the appetizers were fried and an appetizing, and the rooms were very warm for 10+ ppl.

This place was very meh. It had all the ingredients to be great - hidden up a dingy elevator, styled like a Japanese listening bar. But it's a cynical facsimile of a listening bar. Chart music was playing from Spotify. The records on the walls were covered in plexiglass. The speaker array seemed to be purely for show. Zero atmosphere.

Chicken is usually pretty good here. Crispy and moist is what we're looking for. Portions are healthy. Service is usually pretty good it just takes a long time sometimes for food to come out. Hard to spend your work lunch here. Ambiance is super cool and unique. Vintage blast from the past.

Needed better service, was seated and ignored for a long time and missed happy hour

Had so much fun, was only going there for 1 hr but the time went buy so fast stayed for another hr. Sometimes the lyrics don't match up with the music. We ordered chicken wings and they looked a little funny (like steroids) but that didn't bother me. Food was good drinks were

One of the unique features of KTown is the multitude of restaurants and bars that are located not on the street level, but on the upper floors inside the business.Turntable is one of those places. Located in the building next to HMart on the 5th floor. It's nothing what you would expect coming in from the street. Super cool vibe and decor.Solid selection of food. Korean fried chicken and assortment of other dishes that are all tasty.Great music, ambiance and service. They also have a couple of karaoke rooms for smaller groups to have fun singing and eat together.Been here dozens of times and always a good experience.
This spot tries to present itself as a trendy gastropub capitalizing on the dive bar aesthetic but is actually just a dive bar at best. The decor is very much typical grungy NYC dive bar with a few cool elements like the walls lined with retro radios. There are a few TVs to watch the game. The "boneless" chicken was so bad it felt like a joke. As you can see in the picture there's no texture to them at all. They tasted microwaved and were tough to chew. In fact most of the food tasted microwaved. The kimchi scallion pancake was so soggy it was hard to peel off the wax paper. The fries were double fried and serviceable but a little overdone. The dumplings were crunchy but too salty. Unremarkable spot with real bad food and no real redeeming qualities.

Came to Turntable to have a mid afternoon snack with a friend but ended up being so full it felt like a full meal. As usual it's pretty empty in the afternoon. After we arrived, a handful of groups came too. I finally tried the twister and was surprised to see it come as two sticks. It was yummier than expected. The breading was very thin and added a kick of spiciness. The parm, ketchup, and cheese sauce didn't feel too overwhelming and didn't sog up the crunchiness. The potato itself is thin enough it seems like chips but with some thickness so the inside is slightly soft too. I like that more than something thick and hard. It didn't feel oily either. Something not good is that the potato is spread out to the edges of the skewer so it was hard to pick up to eat. Luckily the potatos are crunchy and thin enough to cut smaller sections to slide off the stick. Also it was slightly too salty but tolerable. Wings. It's my first time getting medium. Darn it's double the size of small. I was hoping to get something in between like 9 pieces. We still finished it but felt too full especially after having the twisters. The drumsticks were drier than the wings. My friend commented that the pieces were bigger than she expected. I still think this place is a good deal and love the emptiness in the afternoon. Happy to come back if I'm around and want to hang somewhere in the middle of the afternoon. My friend confused this with the OG Turntable a block away but idk I keep going to this one.

Came here for drinks, pretty fun atmosphere with long picnic like tables. Got the beer tower and they made it fun with changing LED lights! The LP cocktail came with a smoke bubble, pretty cool and also tasted delicious! We also got fries which were real potatoes cut, thick & crispy, not frozen which impressed me. Usually late night karaoke places are all processed like foods. Liked the records on shelves and record players displayed, staff were friendly, will be back again!

Lots of wing options down in this area, wings were okay, probably 2.5 stars(avg) place is very cool, great classic rock playing, service was good, Allegash on tap, good place to eat at before a New York Rangers game.
