“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Ssam Tong is a bbq spot in Murray Hill. The gyeran jim was definitely a highlight! Super fluffy. The pork cuts are high quality too. Service is attentive and ample seating with grills. Overall solid but perhaps not exceptionally memorable. ”
“ Food slaps! If i want good Korean food with friends this is the place to get it and the servers are always accommodating especially for big parties. Been here with at least a group of 10 and both times they were able to fit our table comfortably. We order the standard beef and pork belly. Meat is always good with little fat. We ordered beer and they gave us at least two pitchers for free and we were stuffed by the end of the night so much that we had to refused the third free pitcher. ”
“ As a first timers to Ssam Tong K-BBQ we've tried prime Deung Sim, prime Jumul-look, and Saenfg Sam Gyop Sal (pork belly)per our server's recommendation. The beef and pork belly were simply the best we've had - incredibly flavorful, juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. Every bite was a delight! The service was equally impressive. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. If you're looking for the best K-BBQ and pork belly in town, with top-notch service to match, look no further. We can't wait to return! ”
