  1. Very good barbecue. We had the pork belly, galbi and the bulgogi. Everything was delicious. Lots of side dishes too.

    Overall a good place to come. Service was fast and quick too

  2. My new favorite Korean BBQ place!  This place has been on my must list for a while, but it's so far from where I live.  We finally had the chance to come and I was not disappointed!

    Service was great and the best part was we were able to communicate in mandarin.  Mandarin definitely trumped English.  We didn't have to touch the grill once and the food kept flowing.  The only thing not flowing were the refills for our tea.

    We order the $74.95 combo which was delicious!  I loved all the different flavors and I loved the fact that they cook for you.  It was pretty neat to watch the meat cook on the glass.  We also got the sliced duck and that was delicious as well.  

    They give you the yogurt drink for dessert so that was a nice surprise.  

    I had an awesome time and they didn't rush us.  I will be back.  One caveat is that I think if we spoke English only, I don't know if we would have had good service.  I feel like this place is the type of place to shun you if you don't speak Korean… or Mandarin in our case.  

    Good service or not, the food and experience was great and that alone is worth it.

  3. This place is amazing. Totally worth the 1.5 hrs on public transit + 20 minute walk from the subway station to eat here. I will be schlepping myself out here more often, despite the 2 hr trip one way.

    I think two orders of meat + cold noodles is enough food for four small people. You get enough side dishes to fill you up. The kimchi stir fried in pork belly fat is the best.

    Also, service is surprisingly good and the bathrooms are clean.

    I came on a Sunday night at 7pm and there was no line.

  4. Honestly… I was going to give this place 4 stars but the service here was SUPERB and most definitely deserves my 5 stars!  Came in as a group of 10 people on a Saturday night around 9:00 PM and there was no wait at all!  We ordered two orders of of the LARGE Do Ya Ji, TWO Seafood Pancakes and an extra side of beef slices.  

    Before I start with reviewing the main dishes we ordered, I want to talk about the complimentary appetizers first.  I must say they were a bit lacking compared to other Korean BBQ places and not as traditional?  Some items include raw crabs, fish (WAYYYYY to fishy for me), egg soup (this was really good), broccolis & radishes.

    LARGE Do Ya Ji – combination of pork belly (green tea, bean paste and garlic).  Their portion are huge!  Ordered two of these for 10 people and had A LOT left over!  The waitress grills everything for you in front of you – everything was served so quick and cooked so quick!  This was super tasty too!  They actually suggest you wrap the pork belly with radish and dip it in sesame oil with a special sesame powder that comes with it – super unique compared to other places!

    Seafood Pancake – pretty good too but nothing really stands out compared to other Korean BBQ places I've been to.

    Honestly, the best part of this meal was the service here!  Most of the waitress here speaks Mandarin and Korean!  They were SUPER attentive and gave us everything we need – water, tea.  They were quick in cooking and serving the food.  I love how they make small conversations with you as well.  They offered us FREE sodas throughout the meal AND when we asked for the bill, they gave all of us FREE yogurt drinks!  This is by far the restaurant with the FRIENDLIEST waitresses!  I seriously have nothing to complain about the service here.  I would definitely come back the next time I'm around the area.

    P.S my hair did not smell after I left the restaurant – I think it's because they use a special type of pan to grill our foods!!

  5. This place is amazing! I always leave here about to explode because I eat so much pork belly. One of my favorite korean bbq places in Queens. The pork belly is really the best you can get. Service is great and the servers are always on top of things.

  6. Solid place if you're craving Korean bbq & nengmyun. My gf and I came here hungry after a long road trip from Maine. It was late at night and luckily this place was still open.

    We were the last customers to be served, and it seemed they were a bit annoyed that we came in so late, but they seemed to have changed their tune when we ordered a lot of food. We ordered kalbi for 2 (un-marinated), and we each got our own bowl of mul nengmyun. They provided service of assorted banchan, which included gyeranjjim (steamed egg casserole), and they were even nice to provide us a small bowl of dwenjangjjigae.

    The waitress did all the work with the kalbi and even asked us how we wanted it cooked. We told her more on the medium rare side, so it'd be extra tender and not as tough. She complied and cooked it quickly. There was no char to the meat, but it sure was tender.

    The mul nengmyun was the bomb. It came with an ice slurry and the gochu (spicy) paste was already part of the mul nengmyun. The only negative was that the ice slurry still didn't make the nengmyun cold enough. It was still a bit warm. The broth was amazing though. You didn't need to add any vinegar at all.

    Overall a very solid place to go to if you're craving good bbq and good nengmyun. Just watch out about the clientele….I think we were sitting next to some chinese gang members…. These guys were speaking in Chinese and they were tattoo'd up all over place (even on the heads!). Just enjoy your food and don't look around and you'll be happy.

  7. Flavorful Korean Barbecue grilled on a glass plate that is slanted so all the fat slides off, pretty cool. Each item for the KBBQ is about $20 and to be honest portion wise is only enough for one person. Was it good, quality KBBQ? Yes it was.
    I definitely recommend trying the duck breast and marinated pork belly (we ordered one with and one without green tea and I honestly couldn't tell the difference, so I can't really recommend one over the other haha).
    After asking for the check, instead of giving you a grimy fortune cookie, you get Yakult, my childhood vice.
    Parking here can be a little tough but if you don't mind walking from the residential area you won't have any problems.
    Plentiful side dishes, friendly, multi-lingual service.

  8. Best korean BBQ I've had in NYC. Well, I may be a little biased at this point since I was KBBQ deprived for many months prior to this. But man, this was a good meal. Everything from the beef to the pork belly to the banchan were delicious. I'd definitely come back, especially in the cold months we're about to experience.
