“Just discovered this gem right down the block from our office today! This will absolutely become a regular for us. I went with a vegan friend and sharing food with a vegan can be hit or miss. Today was a solid hit. She ordered the fried dumplings filled with kale and spinach. I wasn't jazzed about trying them until her eyes lit up and she said they were fantastic. She was not wrong. They crispy but still soft and the spinach and kale was amazingly tasty. To be honest I'm not really a fan of kale, but these were great. I would order them again on my own. She had the tofu bibimbap which she was quite happy with. I had the bulgogi bibimbap. The meat was deliciously marinated and it was fried well so that it didn't end up steamed. The egg was still runny in the middle but crisp on edges. The vegetables were fresh and still had body and crunch after they were cooked. The sauce was spicy but not so hot that it overpowered the dish. The people next to us were eating the ramen soup and the spicy friend chicken bowl and we both agreed we need to go back this week and try that! This place is such a delight. I haven't had Korean food this good in a long time, and to find it within walking distance of the office is the best! Try it! You won't be sorry.“
“We ordered delivery. The wings tasted very good and I think I got more pieces than the stated number on the menu. Good price for how much we got!Only complaint is that there were no wing tips (my favorite part), all just drumettes. But overall I was satisfied.“
“Consistent spot for good-enough soondubu.My favorite tofu place flavor-wise is probably So Kong Dong in Fort Lee, but it’s not always easy to get there.SGD serves to fulfill my occasional soft tofu craving. I find their rice to be sometimes an inconsistent texture.Parking is plentiful and their location is easy to find.“
“First time at this location. Staff was friendly and nice. I didn't have to wait long. I got the spicy wings which are spicy spicy so only get if you can handle it! Very crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside just like how it should be. I got the strawberry bubble tea that was a perfect refreshing beverage for after the meal. Definitely recommend!“
“Fantastic meal and fantastic overall experience sitting at the chefs counter. Highly recommend the Wagyu and uni supplements as well as the abalone extra course.For some reason they gave us our check well before we finished eating our final course. There wasn't another party waiting for our seats so it was a bit strange to be rushed“
“We dropped in for an early dinner to try this restaurant close to home. The flavors were amazing. We had catfish bites and pear salad as starters and fried chicken and gumbo as the entrees. Everything was perfectly prepared. We met the owner who was very welcoming. The space is not very big so reservations are recommended if you plan to dine in.“
“Extensively thought out menu, every bite felt like a perfect harmony of complex but well balanced flavours.The pairings are absolutely worth it and elevate every dish, we would highly recommend.Servers were extremely attentive. We ate in about 1h30 because we had a show (a bit faster than the recommended 2 hour window), however we didn’t feel rushed and everything was perfectly timed.Excellent ambiance, we loved being able to see the chefs work in front of us. Everything looked like a perfectly choreographed dance.Would highly recommend, a well deserved star indeed !“
“I really like this restaurant! The food is high quality and the experience is fine dining but fun/relaxed.The menu is composed of bits of familiar recipes with Korean twists and French culinary techniques. There’s galbi, squid ink fried rice, uni, and mäd toast (which sounded monstrous but I didn’t get to try it this time) plus much more. I liked that the menu is small-sized and minimalist with clearly labeled snacks, little colds, hots, mains, extras, and desserts (menu is posted outside the entrance and on website). The current menu that started in mid-March has snacks/appetizers such as spicy yellowtail tart, beef tartare, fried shiitake mushroom rice balls (I think?, it’s labeled as mushroom arancini on the menu), pork head katsu, and scallion buns with unique sauces on the side ($20 per person, either no one or everyone orders). I tried the mushroom tempura with onion dip too! Everything was elegantly and adorably plated. Our server explained what’s what and suggested how to best enjoy some dishes. They have a really extensive drinks menu (many pages), complete with your usual offerings and their own unique cocktails, rice alcohol, maekgeolli, and even alcohol free cocktails woohoo! Not sure if all of the ice cubes for the alcoholic drinks are engraved with the restaurant’s name and logo but ours were and I thought that was a really cool and personal touch.An equally important part of my dining experience was the atmosphere and service. The staff are attentive, frequently filling glasses low on water and folding napkins when you step away. They also keep the music bopping and adjust their playlists. The lighting is a little dim and the interior is ‘cool club’ vibes but for a slightly more sophisticated audience. It’s a place to come in casual or dressed up a little for fun. It’s best for smaller groups of 1-4 I think based on seating arrangements but they seem to be able to accommodate slightly larger groups at some bigger tables and in the back room. Expect to pay $50-$100 if you get one item from each category on the menu and a drink. Probably $100+ if you get more or multiple drinks. The bar area in the back is across from the kitchen, which might be cool to peek at to see some staff members curating orders.I like that it’s on a quieter block in ktown area. The price range and location filters out loud and teen crowds, so it feels like a great place for young adults and Millenials to catch up or go on a date. It’s a place to sit down and chat while you savor small bites and wait on more food to arrive, so you’ll probably need like 1.5-2 hours if you’re going for a natural relaxed pace. I also saw a family of 5 enjoying dinner together here. Lastly, this is random but the hand soap is heavenly. I can’t wait to see what other menus they craft!!Dietary restrictions: They will ask about dietary restrictions and can modify recipes. If you don’t eat certain ingredients/foods, they can omit snacks too and adjust the price for you accordingly.“
“Great alternative in the K-Town area. Had the Garlic Chicken, which included rice, miso soup, tofy, kimchi and a small salad. Everything was fresh and tasty. 19 USD was a really good price. The food took 25-30 minutes, too long for lunch, but the staff was otherwise efficient and friendly.“
“Absolutelly wonderful experience. Every single member of the staff is friendly, respectful and professional. The food is out of this planet, delicious, beautifully presented and served. The wine list is very interesting, diverse and extensive. 100% going back.“
“We went to Atoboy because hard to get the reservation of Atomix. Food is match the price of $75 prix-fixe. Only outstanding items are Stripe Bass & Korean Pear(forgot to take pictures). Better to have 3 people in a group that you could try everything. We must have Dessert due to someone birthday, but I wouldn’t suggest after we try. Atmosphere is more ideal for younger group.“
“I had the 15-course Chef tasting menu for $135. Although it may seem a bit steep for a food court, this is a high end food court (spacious and spotless, surrounded by luxurious hotels and exclusive galleries), and they're serving premium ingredients. Just four of these courses on their own (Madai with Beet and Mandarin; Hiramasa with Golden Osetra; Lobster with Kombu; Eel with Foie Gras) if put on a bigger plate and served on white table clothes could make up a prix fixe worth $135, but because this is a casual food court, you get a lot of "bang for your buck." The only thing that prevented me from being completely comfortable here was the very loud music overhead, very hectic, very frenzied, WOOF.“
“Didn’t even realize Genesis house was here until we googled where to eat while in the area. We were blown away from the food, ambiance and hospitality.We ordered:- Suranchae- Shrimp Mandu- Black Cod- JapchaeEverything tasted delicious, we had to make some modifications to the entrees as my wife is pregnant, but the staff made it so easy for us. It was really nice sitting by the window to overlook Little Island, Pier 57 and the Highline. You feel like you’re in the center of where all the action is.At the end of the night, the manager even gave us this super cute “Genesis House Food Critic” baby bib as a thank you gift for dining (how did they even have this ready for just us mentioning pregnancy for the menu!!?)Definitely try it out and you’ll be happy you did!“
“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!!!!“
“Everyone here went above and beyond. Hostess accommodated my party of 5 when they were fully packed, our server recommended all the best plates and drinks, and the ambiance was immaculate with the crowd enjoying their food and company. Their interior was also spot on with the disco chill vibe they were trying to set. All the food came out to our table fairly quickly and also got devoured fairly quickly lol. 10/10 recommend reserving a time to eat here!!!“
“One of my favorite in k town. Suggestion: scallop, 2 pyungyang cold noodles and dry aged branzino for 2 people. Feel free to add a bowl of rice.Parking: Weekend is hard to find parking but weekdays are somewhat okay to find the spot near the restaurant.“
“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.“
“Korean food at it’s best.Fried rice with steak was top, endives salad with Korean pears and nuts was just amazing. The chicken wings is a must if you happen to go!!Service amazing, fast and attentive at all times.Looking forward to go back and try the famous Pork Shank!!“
“A Korean restaurant I found by chance while traveling!The staff and owner are all very friendly and the food is so delicious!! After my first visit, I remembered the taste, so I visited again and ate it, and I think it tasted even better!!!!!Even after my trip, I will still think of Korean restaurants in New York!Thank you for the good food and good service :)“
“Should not have so much onions in the food. My lunch box comes with 2 pan cakes of suck. I hated them. It's just flour with lots of onions. Most Buddhists don't eat onions and scallions. Salad was fresh. Ambiance good. Quiet with no music.“
“The food was absolutely delicious! And the staff were a huge help in explaining what the different selections were if we had questions. From the appetizer, to the entree and the most gorgeous dessert bite! It leaves you wanting more. Definitely excited to come back again soon and try more on the menu!“
“Been here 4 times. I declare take 31 to be the top one on my list of Korean food in New York!The creamy udon pasta is super delicious and is my favorite dish. The creamy sauce is very rich and you won’t get tired of it even if you eat the whole plate. We have tried all three kinds of rice balls, and our favorite is the tuna fish rice ball. The 5 big pieces are full of sincerity and are so satisfying when paired with refreshing kimchi; the honey fried chicken has a sweet coating, and the mustard sauce it comes with is even more remarkable, retaining the mustard flavor without being spicy; the yogurt-flavored Rice wine has more flavor than banana flavor! It’s especially cool; the pork neck meat will be a little fatty; the corn tortillas have caramel adhering to the corn kernels, which are sweet and crispy, especially delicious! !“
“Modern Korean store. Reservations are required as it is very crowded. Still, I had to wait quite a while. Although it is called ``Home Cooking on Jeju Island'', there are many hot pot dishes. The famous dish is the bone-in short ribs stew.They add rice to the leftover meat and make something similar to burnt fried rice. The sweet and spicy sauce is delicious. Banchan also had chijimi, and all of them were delicious.“
“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.“
“"Tapas-style" Korean menu in a location perfect for a pre-theatre dinner! The raw scallop, bossam, and kimchi fried rice were all super flavorful and delicious. The only complaint I had was for the cheese corn riblets - they just quartered the corn cobs for this dish so you still have to bite the corn off the cob section, instead of just cutting the kernels off into riblets like most restaurants do. Makes it messier than necessary. The $16-18 bottles of Kikusui sake on the menu are a definite plus!“
“4 of us went to CDG at 6pm and waited about 20 mins for a table on a Tuesday night which wasn’t too bad.Great service and decent food. The Seafood & Scallion Pancake was delicious and I really like the Cod Roe Omelet a lot. The Octopus Flavored Rice was a little bland to my liking. Their CDG Seafood Jeongol (Hot Pot) was tasty and definitely can be shared among four people.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great place to eat. Friendly and big portions. I have tried most things and liked them but. My go to order is the Chicken Bimbap Bowl with Tiger Sauce. They are donating a portion of sales to Annandale Baseball on Monday 4/26 and Tuesday 4/27... Just mention Annandale at the register or in the "Special Instructions" when ordering online.“
“I don’t have those fancy meal much but this is really fancy. I love the service and it’s impressive.Here for our anniversary dinner and it was really good. The service started with a nice greeting and the courtyard is nice peaceful.The meals are delicious and creative. Every dish have an explanation and it’s a little much. You would enjoy every meal. It’s not really my thing.“
“Really beautiful space with lovely food and great service. I was expecting a bit more from the food tbh for the price (not sure what though because I have no real complaint but it wasn't spectacular other than the mixed fritter appetizer which was the best tempura I've ever had). All in all 4.5 stars.“
“the gimbab was SO good!!! the gimban in the us usually have huge portion of rice and the meat is very little But here the meat inside was a LOT which I loved??also the spicy bulgogi(meat inside) tasted so good and the soy sauce marinated egg was cooked excellently and so good if you eat it with rice will go again to try other gimbab!!“
“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.“
“Thanks to the food here, I was able to travel to New York while recharging my energy. For me, who was embarrassed by the salty, simple taste and expensive food in New York... It was my 'oasis' while I was in New York. I visited it every day for 5 days. Boss, you will prosper!“
“My 1st time having Korean fried chicken. Been wanting to have it for a long time. Came across this gem and I'm a fan.Chicken is fried fresh to order so please be patient. I ordered the 5pc Golden original just so I can taste the overall flavor. Nicely fried to a crispy and juicy texture. The guy at the register Kim bought me over a side of their Secret Sauce to try it. Not too sweet or spicy but it's sticky. The 1st time having pickled daikon also. Very refreshing and a palate cleanser. Love it“
“Highly recommend this place. Good food and drink selection. Must try their pork belly and rose tteokboki. Also, they have a variety selection of Korean traditional, high quality, craft drinks. Cozy atmosphere allows you to have an intimate date night or great time for friends gathering. Definitely will come back here and the service was very excellent.“
“My family stopped in for dinner on a gloomy evening. The owner warmly greeted us after a short wait and was very attentive through out our time. We ordered a Bul Dak bowl, Sunny Avo, and Kimchi Jae Yuk bowl. Everything was very tasty and the portions were so large. We tried our best but couldn’t finish, we were stuffed. The owner was very nice, even giving our daughter a choice of handmade trinket made by his children. It was our last day in NYC but would recommend Bulbap Grill to anyone in the area.“
“What address ! Incredible discovery. Kind of food court with 2 or 3 other brands (always Asian: Drinks, desserts). For the hot dogs There are several choices, the basic is already very good, a little extra with the cheddar and originality for the hash browns around it. A nugget! Absolutely worth testing. And super affordable prices. For big eaters, maybe take 2. Good tasting“
“First of all, the ingredients were so fresh and the food was all delicious!!! They kept refilling the broth, so I ate delicious food without any inconvenience ? The mango sorbet they gave me at the end was the best dessert ever ? The staff and owner were so friendly that I couldn't help but leave a review ? I think I'll stop by every time I go to New Jersey!“
“My favorite restaurant in Koreatown. You can pick and choose to make your own meal. They offer a variety of dishes. Good for dining there or takeout. It’s a self-serve styled restaurant. You get your food, you pay at the cashier and you go find your own seat. The staff is quite friendly every time I was there. On top of that, it’s quite affordable compared to the other Korean restaurants nearby. The only downside is the seating area can be a bit crowded during rushed hours.“
“Listen world lol I'm Jamaican and I tried this location after having it to be highly recommended on Instagram. My experience was so mind-blowingly awesome that I had to write this review.Kelly, the bartender, is absolutely awesome!!!!!!! Contagious smile and energy. The food was wayyyy better than I expected. I need to order two truffle fries next time. The rib eye made me want to kiss each bite before I ate it lol I'm so blown away. Everyone in NYC needs to experience the food. I also had the kimchi fried rice and the chicken wings. Oh my goodness. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Listen, please, take a chance, take a friend or two and just go. I'm going back on my next day off lmao so I can eat nice and slow, no rush lolllllll and then take food to go lollllllllllll.... See you there!!!!“
“First time at Sushi Story - and it is amazing! I went in for lunch and asked the server for recommendations. After my ginger salad, she brought me Tuna Tataki, which was perfectly prepared and had a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t decide between Seared Salmon Sushi or the River Roll, so I ordered both. It was the best decision ever! The salmon was freshly prepared and melted in my mouth. The Spicy Tuna was delicious and had just a touch of kick, which complimented the richness of the fish. All dishes were fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, helpful, and courteous, by both the server and the chef, who checked on my satisfaction with the meal. The restaurant is small, with seven tables, and has a bustling take-out service. This is one place not to miss!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to all agesWheelchair accessibility: Small facility, but easy access for people with limited mobility.“
“I literally dream of this place all the time. I’m not from new york but I go there a couple times a year to visit my best friend and this is always at the top of our list. The food is amazing and the staff are so on top of it. This is the best kbbq I’ve ever tried for real“
“A restaurant that needs no words!! When I was tired of eating for two weeks, I was very happy to eat Korean food. I highly recommend the LA Galbi + Soft Tofu Set. The soft tofu was medium and I liked it just right, but my husband said it would have been better if it was a level spicier.I always eat dumpling soft tofu and it’s so delicious! Thank you so much for refilling the side dishes.Even though I went at 8pm, I waited 20 minutes to get in. There were plenty of seats inside... I don't know why the wait was so long... Other than the wait, I was satisfied.“
“The food was delicious!! I recommend everyone to get the half soy half spicy drumsticks. Played great music all night even had a little tv where you can see video of whichever song is currently play and I thought that was a nice touch. Has a beautiful rustic decor with lots of records/albums around. The staff were great and super friendly. Would definitely go back“
“The staffs are friendly, this is a hidden gem. A regular roll is $5. The food was delicious! They are only open during the weekday for a couple hours. Would recommend coming here again! This is a hole in the wall shop, no places to sit. Staff: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Ambience: 3/5“
“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.“

“The 4.8 rating after 185 reviews made me question this restaurant. How could they have that high of a rating with such a large sample size. After going there I’m on the hunt to find those individuals that made this score not a perfect 5. Service was exceptional (especially when considering the normal pricing). Sushi quality was the best I’ve ever had in every food I ate (miso soup wasn’t too salty). Complimentary miso and a roll from the chef. There is not a single thing I could complain about and I look forward to giving this establishment as much business as possible.“
“I normally write reviews for the readers, but today, this review is directed to the owner. Your fried chicken is worth the trouble of finding parking. I had the 10pc bloom drumsticks half w/Soy Garlic and the other half in S.O.S. Korean Spicy. I would even go as far as saying any of the sauces are worth a parking ticket. I was also super impressed with the size of the drumsticks! I was full after just 4, and thankfully, otherwise I would have been tempted to eat my napkin just to relish the flavor. I'm also grateful I arrived with family, since they ordered additional items, like the bloom wings, truffle fries, pork dumplings, and wasabi coleslaw. I got to try almost everything and nothing disappointed...not one thing. Thank you for offering to provide me my order as it became available for the members of my family vs. waiting for all of it to finish, that was very considerate of you and unexpected. I saw how polite you were to everyone that entered to order and for pick-up. We waited a little less than 25 minutes for the order to be complete and considering the size of our order, that was impressively fast! I just want to add that I also noticed you sacrificed your kitchen space to provide extra room for your guest, hats off to you sir! The seating space at the entrance is ample, the decor is trendy, the food was amazing, your attitude was great and even the bathroom was clean. The next time I come, I'm shooting a video for you, you deserve it...plus, I need an excuse to come back.“
