Matthew SpectorJune 17, 2015If you love Korean BBQ you really cannot go wrong here. Awesome selection of fresh proteins and a solid soju menu. A bit of a walk from the main street in K-town but worth it.
Joy BoardmanNovember 4, 2013Get the Bulgogi for your main dish, shrimp fried rice, Mandouk dumpling soup and the Mandouk dumplings, you will not be disappointed. First time here and will be back.
David WhiteNovember 30, 2019The galbi and spicy marinated short rib were awesomely flavorful and tender! Excellent service. Decor and the room were slightly dated but the quality of the food and service more than overcame decor
KNovember 11, 2012Bulgogi is fantastic. If its your first time at Korean BBQ, the oranges are to eat. Don't embarrass yourself by wiping your hands with them.
TomSeptember 23, 2016Located on one of worst streets in manhattan, it literally smells like crap. Disputed that, the food is good. Not the best but decent. Service is prompt & friendly. Their lunch boxes are a good value
Mercy MhindurwaJanuary 1, 2017I had the chicken hotpot and I highly recommend it 😊. The portion size was good as I was left satisfied, not too full.
Alice ChaoSeptember 6, 2014Great service! Great food! Much better than any place on 32nd street. Also you get the Yogurt drinks as "dessert" which is cute :)
Toad MushroomJuly 24, 2014SIDE DISHES: a little lacking compared to those in given in ktown, but this is the only korean bbq place i know of that serves pickled radish wraps. and if you ask me, that's all that matters.
robert thollSeptember 26, 2013Went for lunch. The place is fantastic. Will go back for sure. Got the spicy pork BBQ for lunch. Spectacular.
Carelle Jade MedelMay 4, 2011Best Korean bbq place in the city, not in ktown, even better than the places in ktown! The service is great! Ask for yogurt milk after dinner, its free!
Natalie KFebruary 2, 2016Yummy Korean bbq. The waitress was super nice & explained everything to us, and cooked our meat.
Love that they have 2 sizes for their pancakes! The small one is good for two people. Their tofu soup is really flavorful!
my fave Korean BBQ in Manhattan. Get the seafood Pa jun & any of the combo BBQ plates. Cucumber soju is delicious.
Can't go wrong with kalbi or joomuluk. For lunch get the juksuk bibimbap. The nicest staff in the world.
Complimentary doenjang chigae and steamed egg rock! I always get the kimchee pancake, marinated kalbi, kimchee kalbi chigae. Mul naengmyun is good too.
David HwangSeptember 15, 2018The food is mediocre, but solidly so. This place seems to find its niche as an overflow spot, the acceptable alternative when wait times at the better, more popular nearby restaurants get too long.
Jerome BartholomeusFebruary 22, 2012If you can't eat with sticks, ask the helpful staff to give you a little lesson. If it didn't help, ask for a pair of children sticks.
Jenni JangFebruary 2, 2013ask for garlic and extra mushroom. also ask for wet towels to wipe ur hands. no kketnip tho, boo'
That JohnSeptember 7, 2013Decent, friendly, bustling Korean BBQ. Would return, but also want to check out miss Korea.
Kirill IvanovApril 25, 2013There are several Korean restaurants next door and I do recommend to go to another one. The service at Madangsui is on a very low level.
The New York TimesMay 5, 2010Recommended: Savory pancakes, kimchi soup, noodles in cold broth, yook hwe, saeng galbi, bulgogi, dweiji bulgogi. Read more
I look forward to my complimentary korean yogurt drink when I come here for lunch
LindaAugust 5, 2014KBBQ prices are higher than the restaurants on 32nd street but the portions are smaller.
- Meg MinuskinMay 10, 2010bulgogi = wow; be sure to specify hot or you might end up with cold rice & meat... not the way to go... top it off with savory pancakes!!
James PaulsonFebruary 5, 2012The BBQ is a little overpriced, but the bulgogi is crazy good and worth the Won
paul sheesleyOctober 19, 2011Tell the waitstaf not to rush. Or you will get the entres before the apps.
Nutz Cecilio EsguerraDecember 11, 2010seafood on rice! they serve yogurt milk drink towards the end of your meal.. :)
