“I'll start with the breathtaking panoramic views!!!! What a stunning restaurant!!!! If you are not familiar with what to order off of a Korean menu, just ask for recommendations. From start to finish what an excellent dining experience! Right before theBilly Joel concert, very fitting to have a bottle of red & a bottle of white! If you're in the K-Town area 1250 Broadway to be exact, go straight to the penthouse!!!!“
“Best Korean bbq in the area. The quality of the meat is consistently phenomenal and better yet, the service is the best in the city. They are attentive, polite, efficient and friendly. I’ve been going here since they opened over the years, and I always look forward to my visits. I highly recommend this place of high quality meat, side dishes, and stews.“
“Was in the NY for the weekend visiting family from FL. Always wanted to try Korean BBQ and this place came up. Absolutely loved it. There was 7 of us walking around and they fit us right in. We ordered the 5-6 meal and 2 appetizers. And it was Plenty for everyone. Half way thru the meal my 10yr old leans over and tells me. "This is the best night of my life." He's a foodie. But check them out you should not be disappointed. Great job guys.“
“HYUN is definitely more than just a restaurant, it’s an experience. We greatly enjoyed ourselves in the gorgeous atmosphere, and I loved the privacy of the booth we were seated in. We did the A5 Waygu beef platter, which was exceptionally delicious and came with more than enough food for us. The staff were all pleasant and provided exceptional service that helped to create such a wonderful experience.“
“One of the few AYCE KBBQ spots in the area. Even on a Friday afternoon, this place gets really busy to the point where you have to wait for a table. The price per person is relatively fair compared to other places but I feel like you get fewer options for the Lunch menu. Normally, I would prefer more options but this time I liked having fewer options since I ordered more of the same meats. Rice, side dishes, dipping sauces, and fresh lettuce are all included in the AYCE. Drinks are not.“
“Dinner was incredible! The service was extremely attentive, food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. I really enjoyed the set menu, it was the right amount of food and even better bc we didn’t have to think about what to order. The meats were all so tender and the banchan was top tier. Definitely recommend.“
“Food is good but they raised their prices and it's only worthwhile if you can get them to actually bring the dishes you order. Sometimes we have difficulty getting orders in even when they're not that busy. Still, very solid place.“
“Cozy Korean BBQ place modeled after a traditional home in Koreatown. Prices aren't too bad for what you get, especially with the wide variety of banchan. Ambiance is great, with Korean oldies blasting from the speakers and old war-era posters everywhere. Highly recommend pairing your meal with a bottle of soju as well.“

“The quality (of the food), atmosphere (elegant and modern), and service of this restaurant are top notch. Step into this place and it’s as you’re transported to a restaurant at a fancy Seoul neighborhood. Dinner for 3 cost us $150 which was great value given the quality, atmosphere and service provided. For example, one of our dish was grilled clams and we were blown away by their size. They were gigantic, abundant and FRESH! The patrons were all locals and some families. Will definitely return.Parking: The restaurant has a free parking lot. There's also paid/unpaid (depending on the day/time) street parking, right in front of the restaurant.“
“We were looking for a Korean BBQ that allowed bookings and wasn’t too overpriced. This is it.If you don’t mind the matter in which the seating works, ie you need to climb into your seat, then this place is great.The bbq options are extensive, thou more pork options wouldn’t go a miss.The service is a little manic but it’s what you come to expect in a place like this in the heart of KoreaTown.The martinis were good, so much so we had severalOur only real negative point was the noise levels. Hard to hear each other.“
“Love love love coming to KPOT for BBQ!You get a great deal for your buck!So far I’ve visited KPOT 4 times for dinner on a Friday (4pm) with a party of 2-4ppl.Waiting time usually doesn’t take long.I as a pescatarian crave the spicy salmon from time to time and also enjoy their other seafood options!My hubby loves the pork belly and beef/steak options a lot!2hrs max seating, so use your time accordingly to get the most out of it!Also keep in mind you’ll leave with quite a smell afterwards and will have to wash/air out your clothes/jacket.“
“Seriously the best kbbq in ktown, everytime I come great food and service. Even if you do not like intestines they have traditional kbbq options like porkbelly and beef shortribs. We got the classic and marinated assorted intestines, and the spicy grilled chicken as a side, all amazing!!!“
“Another slam dunk. I've eaten at Don Don twice (and planning to go more soon!) and the cuts of dry aged pork, side dishes and black sesame ice cream is immaculate. Staff is super attentive and friendly as well.If it's your first time, definitely try out the dry age pork tasting. I've also eaten at a handful of KBBQ joints at NJ and although this isn't all you can eat, I left Don Don feeling just as full and satisfied. Will definitely swing by again in the near future after work!“
“I was on a solo excursion to Koreatown while visiting NY and dropped by as I saw recommendations for this place, and I’m VERY pleased I did.Got beef mandu jjim, a very complete selection of banchan, fluffy sticky rice and the most delicious ddukbaki bulgogi I’ve ever try.Coming back in June and I’ll definitely hit this spot again.“
“We tried the nearest KBBQ at the hotel we were staying and were not disappointed. The meat was nicely seasoned but the item that elevated the eating experience was the banchan. The seaweed was not too strong or salty and was delightfully tasty. Even the onions, which I don't typically eat, became one of my favorites. The pork belly was a nice thick cut. Service was excellent and the staff very attentive! I think I can say that about most Korean restaurants that I've been to.“
“Eating here was a really fun and interesting experience for me and my family who are not really used to Korean food. There were different kind of side dishes that came when we ordered the bbq set which was refilled whenever we finished it. The overall food and service was really great and my family really enjoyed eating here.“
“I couldn't take a picture because I was busy eating. The best raw ribs I've had since coming to the US! It's extremely delicious. People who like meat will like thicker meat. The meat is thick and soft, has a good chew and is full of juice. Not a single flaw. It's not a soju restaurant, it's a rib restaurant. Lastly, I enjoyed the clam sauna and ate kalguksu (noodle soup) in cool clam soup. It's been 7-8 years since I stopped eating kalguksu, cold noodles, and japchae to cut out carbohydrates, but this soup isn't one I can tolerate because it's low in carbohydrates. I ate all the delicious radish radish without any regrets. I promise to try yukhoe sometime soon. Photos were uploaded then. ?“
“This is the best grilled fish place I have ever been coming from Manhattan. Worth the trip I am so glad I can call myself a regular now wowow!!! Been waiting so long for this Cocktails are visually so appealing too with everything so fresh. Made to order!!!! Thank you for owners for opening this place “
“Although I'm a regular at this Korean BBQ spot and have brought friends multiple times, I have to say the pricing is a bit steep for the portion sizes. While the quality is good, there's room for improvement in matching portion sizes with the cost. Overall, it's a decent option for Korean BBQ, but be prepared to pay a premium.“
“Hidden Gem! Authentic Korean fried chicken with an array of Boba Teas and desserts. I ordered a late night pick up order and was pleasently surprised how delicious the food was. I got the Crispy Chicken sandwich with fries. It gets interesting as you can add a variety of sauces for your chicken. I chose the soy garlic sauce and spicy mayo is added as well. The chicken was fried to perfection, not to thick with a brioche bun, pickles and lettuce. BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had! I also oreded the Lychee Green Tea and added Boba. The Boba was so fresh and the tea was the perfect companion to the chicken. I will be coming back for sure!“
“Tried many Korean BBQ this one is the best! Came in on a rainy day and ordered beef combo. We were amazed by the portion that came out, and all of the food the was just cooked to the perfection. The staff were even more amazing - they are super nice, attentive and considerate, who made experience very pleasant! Would definitely come back again!“
“Delicious Korean BBQ - food is excellent and a good value at $37.95/person. Overall 5 stars because of food and service when you are seated. That being said the slight drawbacks are when arriving they didn’t seem to have a dedicated host and name taking/reservations seemed to be a little chaotic. Atmosphere is good however music is too loud - can make it difficult to make conversation. 11/10 would recommend.“
“Part of Jongro but on the 5th floor and an extended menu with gopchang (intestines)! The wait is also a lot shorter especially on the weekends and it's the perfect place to come with a group. For our group of 4 we ordered the Beef Platter, Pork Platter, Spicy Beef Small Intestine, and Seafood Pancake for around $100 pp. This was more than enough food for us and we also had a decent amount of leftovers. It can take awhile at times for your server to come around, but that's just cause they get fairly busy. In terms of the quality of meat, it is higher than your average korean bbq place but some pieces don't necessarily match the price point.“
“Perfect place for a quick bite! I honestly love their kimchi and beef tofu soup and think it matches that of places closer to Korea town. It's nice that there's a location here because sometimes you just crave this soup and don't want to travel to far for it. Also love how quick the service is and the banchans are typically very good!“
“Just land at Newark and stumbled across this restaurant. The staff quickly seated all 10 of us. They first served the complimentary tofu, kimchi, pickled veggies. I had the dumpling soup, which was spot on because I was feeling a little under the weather. Others had the spicy beef soup, short ribs soup, bibimbop, and fish. The food is so good!! We were surprised to get such good food for such a reasonable price. The only slightly negative is the we asked for separate checks but instead the split the bill evenly into 2 checks. When we explained the 2 people were on one order, they quickly fixed the mistake.“

“New owners since May 2023, as claimed by the waitstaff. I frequented this place as it is close to home. Good is good. Had the kalbi and pork belly grilled at the table. It is expensive, but the quality of the meat justifies the price. Meat was marbled beautifully. The ban chan, along with the egg and deunjang soup were great. BYOB.“
“The best in all of jersey. First of all the staff is beyond amazing. The price is perfect and can I say CLEAN!!!!! They have the most sweetest professional and extremely attentive and hardworking staff. Everything is fresh. Go there at least 2 times a week and every time we’re greeted with warmth. Please check this place out and make sure it succeeds forever. 5 stars is never enough for them. They need 10 stars.“
“Note: though this place is named Hanam BBQ, we cam for the sushi. This is one of the better sushi restaurants I've been to in Fort Lee. Caters to mostly Korean crowd which means they serve good fresh sashimi and sushi. Their side dishes were tasty and plentiful. I didn't order any BBQ dishes but will indulge on my return visit. This place gets crowded during meal time and does have few private rooms. Interestingly, this place is attached to a karaoke bar. So after eating ur meal, u can sing ur favorite karaoke tunes without leaving the place and ur calories off.What more can u ask for?“
“Insa is the best place for Korean bbq and karaoke in the area! We were recommended by a local website featuring best places in nyc to celebrate 30+ year old birthdates and we were not disappointed :) :) At first glance the place seems very rustic and a little underrated, but all things considered the approach of the host and servers was authentic and fresh! 5/5 star rating!!“
“Amazing, food is amazing but service is PERFECT. Never seen a server like Angel A. 100% he will make your night, he will probably clean your bathroom and kitchen if you ask. Even with a large group of 20 people, he made sure everyone’s needs were met. Ask for him and I promise you even with a large birthday party you will have a great time.“
