“ Pretty run-of-the-mill Korean BBQ. Don't know that I necessarily would ever need to come back but it was worth the try. We went with the unmarinated beef combo, which was on the pricier side than I feel like it would have been at some other spots with the same amount of food. The food was good, but the price and the portion size really just didn't amount to making it super worth it. Always done for a steam egg, which they did well. Dipping sauce/salt was standard. The service is super friendly. Would definitely make a reservation as the spot is small. But once you're in, everyone is attentive and it makes for a nice dining experience. ”
“ The soup is great taste La kalbi is great taste Korean pancake sauce is great and crispy Pork belly at the point Korean ambiance is so strong Not a single local Good food 9/ 10 for the food Good standard One of the best bbq in town Worth to try Just missing Kpop song lol ”
“ Murray Hill is often overlooked for great Korean fare because it's not in the most convenient location. This place is a small family owned KBBQ spot and their food is just spot on. The ambiance is kind of budget but the service and food here are fantastic. The meats here are marinated well and great quality. Pork belly and kalbi were top notch. Steamed egg was also really good and complemented our meal perfectly. Owner was incredibly friendly and service was prompt and good. Parking is a bear in this area but don't let it deter you. Great meal. ”
“ Lovely little spot in queens just outside flushing. Simple menu but they have perfected it. No frills vibe sit down order eat pay leave. Amazing food. Highly recommend ”
“ We had a great late night bbq experience here. If you are ordering bbq you have to order at least two bbq dishes. So I would say it might be easier to go as a group of four if you want bbq rather than just as a date night. That being said, we didn't have any trouble cleaning up with just us two. We ordered pork belly at their suggestion and some kalbi. Of course. Because I don't do bbq without kalbi. I also got a Kalbi tang and we shared a pancake. The pork belly was actually amazing and their specialty so I am glad we took their suggestion! We really enjoyed our server and I loved that they added some fish egg on top of their steamed egg! I would definitely try it again with friends. ”
