    Undaegoojorim is my go-to comfort food. The softest and most savory cod fish ever. Everything else here is very good. BBQ served in individual boxes. Atmosphere is nice at night, but really dark.

    Upscale and inventive Korean BBQ – slightly more expensive than your average K-Town joint. Start with the Bo Ssam Bun and Jap Chae before moving onto the can’t miss Barbeque Platter!

    Generous meat portions, BBQ marinade is authenic & spot on. Love the fact you can cook your own meat on the mini-grill in front of you. Ask em to turn up the lights to make sure your meat is done. :p

    We have come here at least 10 times in the last five years. The only thing it has going against it is that it's not in the booming Koreatown. It's a good spot.

    Good happy hour deals--small bites are $6. Try the sushi rolls or chicken buns. Beer, wine and well drinks are also only $5 during happy hour!

    Wonderful restaurant. I've been twice in both recent visits to NYC. Great food - we ordered the BBQ sampler that included beef/shrimp/duck etc.

    Apart from the hostess the service here was the best I've experienced in the city! Try the Ke Sal Mari, Dae Ji Barbecue, and the hot chocolate cake for the perfect ending!

    1 of my top 3 korean restaurants! Altho it's not Ktown, rest assured the cuisine is authentic. Better/more upscale & spacious than Ktown.

    It's a little pricy and their menu is a bit smaller but it is in midtown and they got all usual suspect in their defense. They also provide much less small dishes. Food is fine though

    They do an awesome job w/ thei kalbi jjim! And bulgogi (even if cooked in the back vs on your table). Great spot. Highly recommend.

    Get the scallop soufflé appetizer. It's decadent, delicious, and something you definitely can't make at home.

    The food is good, though perhaps not more traditional flavors, which I appreciated in their more Americanized updates. Perfect for a date, especially if you BBQ your food. Inattentive service.

    They should have their Korean-card taken away! "Korean" should always be in air quotes regarding their menu. Not only is the food room temperature and inauthentic, their MANAGEMENT IS GAWD AWFUL!

    Decent food, and the BBQ is very solid. The atmosphere is lacking a more 'authentic' vibe, however, and isn't the most lively place.

    Try octopus with noodles if you like hot spicy and chewy. Don't expect Italian or greek grilled octopus. Totally opposite
