“I can’t describe how amazing the food and staff were ! The person who I believe was the manager was very attentive and mad us laugh so much. The person who was cooking our meat tonight was also super friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends. Thank you so much SSAM TONG !!!!“
“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.“
“Great food, friendly staff. This would’ve been 5 stars but once i gave my phone number to their front desk to wait in the queue to be seated I started receiving spam texts from all over the country. Their system is compromised or they are selling our phone numbers.“
“We made a reservation a few weeks in advance which was a simple and easy process. Once arrived, we were sat down quickly. The food was incredible. The wagyu was cooked very well and the sides were delicious as well. Service was great except our first reorder of food took some time.Overall, it was a great experience. We will be back.“
“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 were a party of 8 and had a great experience. Entrance was busy and fun at the same time. You have to take an elevator to the actual restaurant. But once you get to the restaurant floor it will definitely blow you away. Great food great service and great atmosphere. Prices are actually very decent and the servings are very filling. I had a great time. I will definitely be going back. Thank you for the great food and great service.“

“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.“
“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!“
“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!!!“
“After eating a piece of meat, tears streaming down both cheeks... Bring it back!!This is a meat restaurant that makes real men cry!For me, snail rice wine and a piece of meat... It was the same feeling as her approaching me in spring, when all things are coming back to life...“
“This is an amazing restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. When I travel to NYC, this is the first restaurant I go to. I recommend this restaurant to everyone because the food is just so good! I come here once a year and I've never been disappointed. It's so worth the money.“
“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 “
“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!“
“The food was absolutely delicious, however, it felt slightly overpriced. The bbq is pricey but tasty. You definitely get what you pay for! I also ordered soup which, paired with the bbq, is a match made in heaven. ??? Would recommend for a nice date or dinner.“
“First of all, from the moment you eat a spoonful of chicken soup, chicken soup is so good that you can automatically hear the sound of ah from the deep danteon!Gamjatang, boiled white pancakes, and green onion pancakes are all delicious.The pork ribs are also really delicious!!All staff are friendly!After eating chicken doritang or gamjatang, they also stir-fry rice!!Parking: If you go to the back of the store, there are about 3 seats.“
“The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious, and the service is efficiently fast. We particularly enjoy the Korean BBQ option, which is accompanied by a wide array of tasty side dishes. One thing to note is that it's BYOB, so be sure to plan ahead and bring your own beverages to complete your dining experience. Overall, a great spot for delicious food and quick service.“
“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!“
“All around very good. Wide selection of meat from beef, pork to chicken. Marinated, non marinated and spicy versions also available. They also offer a nice selection of sides like Korean soups, salads, steamed egg and variety of side dishes. The most unique aspect of O2 is the cast iron cook top that the meats are cooked on. Overall the quality of meat was good for all u can eat place. Don't forget to step outside and enjoy the fantastic view of Manhattan. Use the exit opposite main entrance.“
“This is my first time eating at KPOT. Johnny the assistant manager and Jailine the waitress made my meal beyond my expectations. I will definitely recommend this location to anyone that enjoys Korean Barbecue and Hot Pot. I will be visiting this location again.“
“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.“
“Always a must whenever someone suggests Korean BBQ. The food and service is always very pleasant. Even during the busier hours, you don't end up waiting too long for a table.If you're around the area, this place is highly recommended.“
“# Hahm Ji Bach Restaurant ReviewRecently, my girlfriend and I visited Hahm Ji Bach, a delightful Korean restaurant that offers a wide range of delicious dishes. It's our go-to place after a long day, providing a healing atmosphere for both body and mind.## Our order for two### Main Courses**Kalbi:** This dish was tender and cooked to perfection. Even though it wasn't served as a table-side Korean BBQ, the flavors were immaculate.**Beef tartar bibimbap:** This cold dish offered a great balance of sweet and savory flavors. The raw beef and veggies combination was both healthy and delicious. If you never tried Korean raw beef before, it's delightfully refreshing.**Beef Skin and Blood Soup:** The soup had a rich iron flavor, with tender fatty beef skin. The spicy soup was served very hot and was a winning combination. The favors all came together really well into a wonderful soup. This dish also had a very healthy and delicious balance.### SidesThe sides at Hahm Ji Bach were outstanding and could each be a dish on their own. My favorite was a green vegetable dish that resembled spinach but had a unique cilantro-like taste. My girlfriend couldn't get enough of the mashed sweet potato and peas side.## VerdictOur dining experience at Hahm Ji Bach was exceptional, and we were thoroughly impressed. The food was top-notch, and the sides were so good that we would order them as individual dishes. If you're looking for a Korean restaurant with delicious flavors and a cozy atmosphere, Hahm Ji Bach comes highly recommended.Ambiance: Beautiful and Cozy Great for familiesDrinks: OkFood: Exceptional Korean CuisinePrice: $$Restaurant Cuisine: KoreanOur Order: Kalbi, Beef tartar bibimbap, Beef Skin and Blood Soup, Green vegetable side dish, Mashed sweet potato and peas side dish“
“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.“
“Customer service is top tier, the staff do their best to help you with as much as possible and are good at taking responsibility when it comes to mistakes. Did we have a hair in a seafood pancake, sure we did. But they took responsibility for it, put it on the house, and even offered us something to make up for the mistake. Please consider going, they have a wide variety of choices to choose from. The food here is great for family, dates, and other things. It has a very good overall atmosphere as well. Just be mindful of the stairs when you first enter, they don’t have an elevator.“

“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.“
“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?“
“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.“
