“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Super friendly and accommodating service.Fantastic Korean dishes not just bbq meats. The Korean beef tartare is so fresh with the Korean pear. The uni mentaiko rice is a must. The scallion pancake is fabulous too. The makku original carafe was a pretty large size and so good.For the meats, the marinated galbi is really good. But I wish they had a charcoal grill since that usually tastes way better.All in all, I’d totally keep coming back.“

“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.“

“It’s a great place for a quick grab and go or even just sit down and eat. Very casual you order first then find your seating. We got shu mai which was delicious, spicy mushroom dumping was not my favorite but my partner loved it, Shanghai pork dumplings were juicy, the BBQ pork roast was absolutely diviiiine a must try and the spicy cucumbers was just a nice refresher on top of everything. My partner and I were not disappointed!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Today, I visited Meet Moot and was captivated by its ambiance. The sophisticated furniture and stylish lighting fixtures created a delightful atmosphere. The beef ribs and lamb shank were exceptional—so tender and juicy! However, our experience started confusingly. The ordering process was disorganized and there was no one to welcome or guide incoming customers.Despite Meet Moot's potential for an excellent dining experience, it was marred by inconsistent service. For a premium price, I expect a higher standard of dining.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I had such a great experience here thanks to my waitress which was Angie and She was such a nice and welcoming person and she did a god job attending to my needs and she was very respectful and friendly. I will definitely be coming back and request Angie as my waitress because she was the best.“

“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 have been going here for years and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh and the service is excellent. He is so friendly and welcoming to everyone. His makes you feel like you’re old friends. They always have a customer in me. I refer everyone to go!“

“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“

“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.“

“It's one of my local favorites and a great place for good Korean BBQ in a quiet setting. Best dish is the Kal Bi (boneless short rib) and I'm also a fan of the Yun Aw (salmon). Both dishes are nicely marinated, juicy and delicious“

“Definitely a five star. The 8 spice toufu melt in your month, almost like cheese filling, crispy skin was just right. Mouth watery chili chicken nicely presented, meat is still kinda warm when it is served, flavor is good. Very authentic and exquisite chinese cuisine. Better than many restaurants in China for sure.“

“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.“

“Undisputed best Korean food restaurant in Ktown. Have been going here for years and every time I leave so happy after enjoying such an incredible meal. Highly recommend the items included in the pictures when with a group of friends. The soju is also an essential component of a fine Korean dining experience that pairs great with all food options“

“We had an amazing dinner at the chefs table. The food was really good and they went above and beyond to accommodate a person in our party with dietary restrictions. The drinks were delicious and the service was great overall no complaints and will definitely return.“

“We ate here for a late lunch. We had the hotpot and bbq. The restaurant was clean and modern. We had a language barrier with our waitress but that didn’t make the experience bad and we were able to get all we wanted by the photos on the menu. We got 4 different individual hotpot’s to try. They were good but the vegetable one I was not a fan of but would be perfect for a vegetarian. The food was delicious and I would eat here again when we come back to visit again. This is a must try place.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“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“

“I had extremely good experience here, the price is good to my budget and the foods is good quality more than the price and what I expected. and I got extra experience with server, his or her name KK , KK had a good recommendations and service minds. and KK so funny lol I had a wonderful Saturday dinner and definitely will come back.“

“The charcoal grilled half chicken was so delicious, moist & flavorful. Meg’s corn concoction & collard greens were delicious. What an awesome place with friendly service & fair prices. Such a nice change of pace for dining options. I was also talking to a customer who had the brisket meal with coleslaw & mac cheese which he said was amazing. I would highly recommend right off Rt 23.“

“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“

“Love this place! Great food, great drinks, service is always speedy and pleasant. Depending on what time and day you go you'll have a variety of different but interesting people to chat with, unless you just feel like people watching which is fine too.“

“I had a family gathering in Kkotsongi and visited this place after being recommended by an acquaintance. The taste of the charcoal-grilled ribs was great. More than anything. Make sure the manager is attentive and provides side dishes to even the children. Just cover the plate. When eating cold noodles. Go back with new chopsticks. Number of children to see them off and small snacks until they leave. I complimented our manager and promised that we would eat there, so we had a pleasant dinner. Thank you.“

“The wings used to be really good and fresh. But my last order was disappointing. Wings tasted like they were fried a while ago, covered up with too much sauce that it was so salty. Please bring back the fresh quality you used to have when you first opened.“

“We’ve been here twice so far and love it. Our second time here we were waiting for about 30-40 minutes and who I assume is manager at the host stand came up to us and said he’ll give us a free appetizer and that we could order before we even sit down. He was so polite and respectful I didn’t even care about the wait. Great place, will be back again“

“I love the food! we just saw this restaurant when we were walking in New York. It was our first time to visit and it didn’t disappoint us. We were happy when we left and couldn’t stop talking about it. It was an experience that we cannot forget because the food the service the ambiance was all great!!! I will come back again❤️“

“UPDATED 3/19/24 PM:The manager reached out and was fantastic about making this right. He said he’s investing time into improving their consistency and offered to buy me dinner to test their improvements later on. Give these guys a shot, they’re good people and do right by their customers.(2 stars) ORIGINAL 3/19/24 AM:I hate to do this but these guys just can’t get out of their own way. We order from here all the time - it’s convenient and generally has healthy options - but they cannot ever get it right. They are so inconsistent - I can’t remember the last time we didn’t have an issue with an order. Yesterday was my tipping point, they completely left out an item and my chicken came undercooked. I called numerous times to get a refund on those two items and was met with a “let me talk to my manager” with no follow up. Can’t get anything through their delivery app either.A few weeks ago we got two island bowls with undercooked hard rice.The food is good, they just aren’t consistent at all. We’d order every night from here if they could perform consistently.“

“Food is good. There's some variability but this location hasn't disappointed me yet. Turkey is surprisingly good, smokey but not dry. I thought it was seasonal for Thanksgiving but I'm not complaining. It's reliably my second meat along with ribs for my go-to 2 meat sampler order. Ambience is the same as other MQ location. Black paint and lots of wood. Not much to say there. It's a bit smaller than some other locations but chances are you're taking good back to your office. I'm writing this review mainly to give a shout out for the customer service. They proactively communicated that it would be a few minutes for the ribs today which I was fine with. Didn't mind having an excuse to not return to the chaos at work right away so I was fine, and I like to think I didn't look pissed or anything. But they did their best to make up for the wait, offering a drink and adding cornbread to my order. Small gestures but they were greatly appreciated.“

“I ordered the Mushroom Adobo Bowl online with a topping of BBQ tofu and thoroughly enjoyed it.The mushrooms seem nicely sautéed along with jasmine rice steamed better than most places produce. The pickled radish and seasoned string beans are chilled and add a nice contrast in texture and temperature to the meal. The tofu was of the very soft variety with a mild flavor, which went well with the dish.It’s also worth noting that menu does include meat and fish options if you’re looking for them but I was surprised how satisfied I waswith the fish as a whole. The responsible packaging and cutlery is also a nice touch. Definitely a thoughtful place overall.The atmosphere in the shop is clean, spacious, and well-lit in a way that suggests you’re supposed to take-out instead of dine in.All in all, I plan to come back and try all they have to offer.“

“We had a delicious Sukiyaki last night with Chicken and prime rib eye. I love that you have a salad and ice cream complimentary.The staff is very helpful, the setting is comfortable and if you go really early you probably don't need a reservation. Going later you most likely will.“

“I have been coming to McWhorter Barbecue for years. The food, the people, and the ambiance are amazing. And the price can't be beat. This store has been around for years and will continue to do so. It's one of the safe havens in Newark. They will always get my business.“

“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!“

“this place is a hidden gem!!! the bulgogi bowls are always so delicious and tender, and the service is consistently amazing!! this sweet young lady even gave me a new item on their menu to try for free! i recommend to everyone!! ☺️☺️“

“This is THE best spicy tofu soup restaurant in NJ. Palisades Park location is my favorite because their soups are perfectly delicious and flavorful and it has just the right amount of spice that is appropriate for each level. The Bibimbop and Galbi tang are also tasty non-tofu options. Their appetizers are also really good especially the seafood pancake and corn cheese which are my favorites! The ambience feels like home with a cozy atmosphere, and the service at this location is always excellent! Palisades Park location never disappoints out of all of the locations in NJ!“

“Went here on a Sunday, service was top notch, there also wasn't many people. The Waiter was very nice, helpful, and energetic. The food was very delicious! The Arroz Chaufa, Grilled Chicken, and Fries that my family ordered were the best of the best. If I could give this Restaurant more than 5 stars, I would. Definitely Recommend for anyone trying to look for delicious food!Kid-friendliness: Atmosphere is very calm and of the many times I've visited this Restaurant, I always see a family or two dining.Wheelchair accessibility: At the Door Entrance, there is a ramp accessible for People in Wheelchairs.“

“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.“

“Recently stopped in to grab some dinner. I have to say it was one of the best food experiences that I’ve had in a long time from any restaurant in Kearny; will definitely come back. Yuca tots are 100% worth the try, brisket was on point, Best, Cuban rice and beans I’ve had in a long time. My husband was blown away by the potato salad. Everything had great flavoring!“

“This BBQ restaurant offers good flavors, though it's not spicy enough for those who prefer their food with a kick. The overall taste leans towards a sweet and spicy blend typical of Korean BBQ. It's a suitable choice for those who aren't fond of spicy food.This BBQ restaurant tastes good but not spicy enough for those who like spicy food. The overall taste tends towards the sweet and spicy taste of Korean barbecue.“
