A friend who made the trip to NYC in December raved about this place. We went on a Wed night and it was relatively quiet but the food was superb. We ordered the regular kalbi, jidori chicken, kimchi sampler, Futago salad and stone pot garlic rice. It was a lot of food for two people so we took part of it home. It was nice because at first we were nervous about cooking the meat ourselves but our wait person said he would do it. After that, we felt able to cook the rest. The meat was very tender and tasty, the salad light and delicious, and the kimchi and rice were sensational. It really was a nice mix of Korean and Japanese. We discovered the two owners were Koreans who grew up in Japan. The service was really great- friendly and helpful without being intrusive, My daughter also ordered a lychee cocktail and said that it was very good as well.

It was delicious yakiniku. However, the payment process was the worst. Since the bill already included the cost of the meal and the tip (gratuity), I left the restaurant with an additional tip of $0.Then, the man in charge of the table chased me outside the restaurant and forced me to tip, saying, ``We don't allow $0 tips.''When I argued that the tip was already included, the other person backed down.However, I felt very disappointed in the end.

This is the best restaurant in NYC. Hands down, no questions asked. The wagyu is great but i personally love the traditional cuts. The spinach salad and cabbage salad is great as an appetizer as is the garlic rice as a side. Dont skip the kalbi!

Delicious food ??????? this is my second time here. I came with friends, They really loved the food like always short ribs is my fav. And my friends loved their different beef sushi’s very fresh. And that cold noodles very good. Will be back soon whenever we are in the city.
the meat was fantastic but that was juxtaposed with the uni being very not fresh. overall meat is absolutely spectacular but the uni was just very bad. our concerns were brought to the restaraunt staff but they stated the uni was "fresh" simply put it did not taste that way.

Went expecting a Japanese BBQ place with my Japanese wife. After realizing that iit is not exclusively that, we thoroughly enjoyed the Koran fusion fare, ambience and vibe. Well done。いいよかったです。

! Check your receipt !We had an extra charge for the bottle of water, which we never ordered.An extra charge was removed when asked.Came with a group of friends and one of them had to send his (squid ink) pasta back to the kitchen since it wasn't cooked properly.Tagliolini pasta was ok, but not as creamy as expected.Overall servers were kind and professional, but not happy with the food.
This is the fourth time I've been here, and it's still delicious. The salad dressing is quite special.

Went here with my husband for Valentine's Day and got the pre-fixe menu. The shrimp skewer was fantastic and the wagyu beef MELTED in our mouths! It was such a great date night experience!

They have $200 pp set or prefix for 130 pp. They have other things to select from BUT.. If one person wants a set/prefix menu, EVERYONE at the table have to order the same. We went for a birthday and the birthday boy wanted to try the set, so 6 sets were ordered. Food was not the quality for the price and to top it off with all that, the dessert... they only gave us 4 and said it's usually 1 for 2 people. But nowhere on the menu states that. When the server was explaining the menu in the beginning, nothing like that was mentioned. All the sets had appetizers and they served most of it together in one or 2 plates... for 6 sets!!! All of these should have been mentioned on the website so that when people go in, they know what they are paying for.. and it's crazy... the set menu.. it's only 2 of them and EVERYONE at the table have to order the same set if u want that one person that wants the set have it. What kind of restaurant is this?! We were party of 6.. bit if we were a party of 20, 20 sets? The SAME sets?! I don't know how they got the rating with what they offer.
