“This is such a gem! I have been craving pork belly for a while now so I went to ssam tong today and let me tell you this place is amazing! Ordered a pork belly, pork jowl and beef~ the meat was tender and delicious! The staff is the best~ they are cute and hilarious! Love it!! Rico and the owner helped us with the grilling! They are so sweet! The atmosphere is so friendly and comfortable that it made the whole dining experience beyond excellent! I will definitely come back whenever I crave Korean bbq around the Murray Hill area! :)“
“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!!!!“
“Brought friend here for them to try Ganhoo for the first time, the wagyu fried rice was a HIT. I think my friend is going to get sucked in after their first time. Great for large groups of people for dine in for dinner!!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable available to balance out the meat“
“Higly recommend for hong kong cuisine in midtown. I had the duck noodle soup. Soup base and noodles were good. The duck was okay so I probably try some other protein instead next time. They have hk style milk tea which really made me happy. The portuguese tart flaky pastry crust and the filling was really good.“

“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.“
“I liked the ordering with kiosk option where you could view pictures and customize your orders easily. I chose the Koba bowl. The portion size shocked me! My bowl looked like a mountain. It was satisfying to have that much food and a variety of stuff in only one bowl. Both food and service were amazing! With any order it also comes with a Korean snack of your choice.“
“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.“
“Food was good, drinks were great, but Zavier (Zay) truly made our dinner. What an exceptional person and a better server. So attentive, kind, patient with our big rowdy wedding group and had such a good attitude. Completely made the night. Great spot in Harlem.“
“Great lil Izakaya!The staff are extremely friendly and hospitalable, the food is delicious, the portion sizes are very generous, and a combination can be made if asked in advance.Definitely get the cheese corn and put some sweet soy sauce on it... And ask for the sweet and spicy sauce on the side, it makes any dish 50 times better lol.There's two other locations in New York, apparently one is in Manhattan, I'm not a local so I can't remember where the other location is... Either way I'm coming back to the Flushing location as I just really love the atmosphere, the location, and the staff...If you see the owner, tell them that the Black nerdy girl from Mississauga recommended the place and said to say hi ?“
“I came here for the 1st time during restaurant week & I cannot wait to return back to try the rest of the menu.The staff & atmosphere was friendly & welcoming, you could tell locals come all the time. Everything I ordered was tasty, but the star of the show was my main entree, Moqueca (Brazilian fish stew with tomatoes, pepper, onions & coconut milk) - It was both comforting and flavorful.The fish was cooked to perfection (soft, tender & flaked easily with my fork), the coconuts milk stew was rich & robust in flavor, with a smooth enough consistency to coat your spoon. In summary, it was chefs kiss! ?“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We went late night and really liked the food, beef, lamb, squid skewers were all very flavorful but not overly spicy. Draft beer was very good. It took a while to get out ramen stir fry, but it was pretty tasty! The lamb skewers are pretty big, so don't order too many at first “
“Been awhile at Gyu Kaku especially east side with better views windowside. Big fan. Been to Tokyo location as well.Happy hour good bargain. $120 for 3. Couldn't eat all. Appetizers corn fair, salad ok, calamari good, beef sushi better. Meat selection good, but would hope less salty selection.Shame horumon (intestines) off the menu due to too much smoke.Thanks for changing grills diligently. Looks like much now no longer flat...S'more finish a treat. Service experienced. Not super courteous but sufficiently attentive.Nice visit back to memory lane. Seems much reward points expired... oh well.“
“Absolutely outstanding hot pot experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The selection of ingredients was vast and fresh, ensuring there was something for everyone's taste. The broth was flavorful and aromatic, making every bite a delight. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff catering to our every need. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone craving authentic and delicious hot pot.“
“I love Anytime because the vibe is a bit more fancier than other regular pochas you would go to in Fort Lee or Palisades Park.The servers are always nice and attentive.The food is top notch.If you order the honey makgeolli (rice wine) the servers will slice up real honey and put it in your glass.“
“Easy to make a reservation, make sure to ask for a table with a grill if you want bbq. The chefs cook the meat in front of you, so the meat is always perfectly cooked. The meat from the prime rib bibimbap was surprisingly tender. The steamed egg was soo yummy. And fluffy!We will be coming back.“
“this is one of the best food places in flushing. we come here every time we visit new york and always get numerous lamb skewers. the skewers are so flavorful and extremely juicy. along with the spiciness, it makes a perfect combination and a true jewel of flushing.lamb skewer (9.5/10)“
“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!!!“
Korean barbecue • $$$
“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.“
“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.“
“Excellent Korean food with reasonable prices. Rice cakes, fried squid, good meat selections and plenty of side dishes.The side dishes are a bit lighter than normal places.Great cocktails as well. Removed from the chaos of KTown. Good alternative for good food.“
“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!“
“The food is always amazing, unique and generous portion size.Recently did a sheva brachos in house, and the owner and staff outdid themselves. They were attentive, accommodating and responsive. Also added some fish entrees for those who requested. They even set up Spotify Jewish music for us! The guests were comfortable and happy, and the restaurant did everything we contracted and more. Leftovers were packed nicely and efficiently for distribution. We would definitely do this again!Wheelchair accessibility: street level access“
“Great spot for a casual BBQ night. The softest bbq meats that I've ever had if you're into that. I'm more of a chewy meat person so that was what was missing for me. But ultimately their meat has less fat and is just so easy to eat!We got the pastrami, ribs and brisket and some coleslaw. We liked the pastrami and the ribs the most. Very chill vibes with a cute outdoor garden.“
“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.“
“After visiting the Museum of Moving Image in Astoria we walked up the block and had a nice lunch at Pig Beach BBQ. My husband and I split the sampler platter which we both enjoyed. My favorite was the pulled pork and my husband’s favorite was the ribs.We were both surprised that it was more of a cafeteria style set up instead of sit down. To me that was probably the only drawback. But it was a very laid back casual atmosphere which a lot of people may find appealing.“
“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.“
“Dropped by for a final New York meal with friends. The ambiance exudes a delightful, contemporary charm, immaculately clean. Given the gloomy, rainy day, we unanimously opted for soup, which proved to be just what we needed. While it may lean towards the expensive side, the cuisine boasts exceptional quality and flavor. Whether opting for lighter fare or indulging in Korean BBQ, satisfaction is guaranteed upon departure.“
“The food was fantastic and made sure of allergies or any food concerns. Memo, our server was excellent with explaining what to do and made sure that all knew the precautions of the stove. The atmosphere overall was very inviting and calm setting.“
“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“
“Great experience! Came here to try their items and they were generously giving out a tray with variety of traditional Korean food like bulgogi, Kim chi, spicy pork with rice to try for free with small little sweet rice cakes. It was so delicious with generous portions, the staff were very friendly and made sure everyone felt welcomed & taken care of!“
“If you have been eating the average to good burgers for a while, take one bite of a burger at Mel's and your tastebuds will remember what a real burger tastes like!Perfection in qualityFat to beef ratioTasteFreshnessTexturePreparationNot full of salt , just the taste good beef.“
“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. ?“
“I love their food! Tasty, clean and fresh. The portions are good too.Services is great and friendly. It’s small but quaint. It’s ran by a sweet family.. I definitely recommend them!Vegetarian options: They have rice n peas, cabbage plantains, delicious“
“The service was excellent, I didn't like that each person cannot choose the option but everyone has to choose the same one to be able to share the table (I don't like soups but my son and my husband do, so everyone we had to pay option 2)“
“Went on a saturday peak dinner time for drinks and dinner for two without reservation. Luckily got a table right away and actually was moved a bigger table to fit our food. Great food selection to have with drinks. Price is lil high for the amount of food but it's inflation season, whatever. Service was great, everyone was very nice. Gets a little loud obviously but it was lively and all around good experience“
“It isn’t Texas but definitely a New Jersey establishment serving up Texas BBQ in their cozy indoor/outdoor establishment with some of the nicest staff.The $60 platter is a lot for two people, IMO. Definitely come hungry and with friends and family.The pulled pork and beef were very tasty and good. The Mac and cheese was definitely tasty, they should maybe bake it a bit more to give it a nice crust.The drinks were a bit too strong and on the higher end of value.Service was great. They allowed us to swap out some of the sides. We got fries, corn bread and Mac and cheese for our sides. All tasty.Establishment does have limited onsite parking so get there early and lock in your parking spot.The indoor decor gives off a rustic wooden cabin vibe with fake lanterns. Creative and comfortable.“
“Very good but my main advice is don't go overboard on whatever meats they have on the buffet. Behind a counter they got a whole smoking setup with absolutely tons of meat. Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT but i ended up biting off more than i could chew, literally.“
“This is a restaurant that I rushed into after seeing a picture of fried rice and dried tofu on the way to the soft tofu restaurant! I ordered braised ribs and shrimp and it was so delicious! The braised ribs were seasoned, the meat was very soft and the portions were plentiful, and the fried rice and corn cheese were delicious, but the dried shrimp were too hard and the shrimp were not whole, so I didn't like it. The side dishes at this place are so delicious! Salted squid, kimchi, fish cake, and salad. It’s been a while since I enjoyed Korean food so much! I think the price is just right. I think I'll go again next time.“
“I ate here every week during my internship next door! The wings were incredible and the corn bread was the best I've ever had! The family that owns it are wonderfully kind. I always felt welcomed and appreciated :) I'm finally going back in March and I can't wait“
“This place is such a gem! Price is not bad, and the food is amazing! I don't know what authentic Tibetan food should taste like, but this place is a family-owned business so I would inclined to believe that they serve authentic food. I came here for lunch today at around 1PM. The place was empty but as I began devouring my lunch, more people showed up for a late lunch, and guessing from the language they speak, they are all Tibetans/Himalayans. The menu is not necessarily friendly to non-Tibetans but my server was kind enough to explain menu items. I did also google some of the names of the food to figure out my order. I settled with an appetizer, a dropa khatsa. It's stir fried beef tripe. It's got a hint of curry but not overpowering and it doesn't remind you of Indian food. I The main dish I ordered was the mala dry pot with rice noodle fan (similar to Korean japchae noodles) with beef stomach (beef tripe but the bible tripe kind), fish balls, and mushrooms. The dry pot was spicy but not overly spicy. I caught a hint of Chinese Five Spice in it. Will definitely come back to try more food!“
“The quality of the meat is pretty high. I have yet to try their cold buckwheat noodles. I've heard great things.Parking: The parking lot is tiny and shared with other businesses. During dinner hours, they only offer valet parking. It's the only negative I have.“
“Came here with my family for the first time, and we were not disappointed. My family and I were very skeptical of this place because of the mixed reviews but this place is definitely worth a shot.Let me start off with the service. The service was probably one of the best service I’ve ever received dining in a restaurant. They’re quick to take your order, food comes out relatively fast, and they are very kind. Constantly asking if we need refills on the side dishes, sauces and beverages was a very good gesture.The meat was all very flavorful and tasty.I can see why some of the meat can come off as bland or “flavorless” but that’s why the sauces come into play.I’ve never tried anything like soy mayo in my life and that sauce was a really big boost in flavor.All the side dishes were also very flavorful as well and my whole family loved it.The atmosphere was also very welcoming with a diverse set of music playing in the background. Ranging from Korean pop all the way to American hip-hop.Definitely will come back and also is worth a try!“
“This is my third time, and every time the food is served very quickly, and I get sour plum soup every time. I am allergic to beef, so I chose pork belly. The meat quality is very good, very tender, and there are many barbecue toppings. Recommended??“
“Their food was phenomenal. I would recommend coming to this location for dinner. Tip my hat to Sheem for suggesting Mac and cheese and bread pudding with brisket. Thank you for a great experience. Certainly a goat at this bbq stuff keep it up. Sheem deserves a raise for his great suggestions! I’ll definitely be back soon.“
“All you can eat buffet- I generally judge these spots based on their bulgogi and the kalbi, and both of these options here were on point. I wish they had a little more options in terms of vegetables (they did have cooked broccoli) and fruits (limited to pineapple and melon), but overall it was good value for money. Quick and good service.“
