Barn Joo, New York NY

Love this place! It's pricey, but worth it. No matter what I try, it's always delicious. Everything is flavorful and the place never feels too overcrowded despite being popular. To be safe, make a reservation!

This place was great. The fried asparagus is a must. I liked how one of my friends was able to order a dish for herself, the rest of us split a bunch of small plates, and everyone was happy.

Whenever I spot a $ oyster happy hour in the city, I would go try it and this time is at the new Korean fusion restaurant in Union Square. First look, I love the decor, a bit rusty and waiter service is fairly good except they messed up some other person orders twice in the duration I was there.

Thoughts:
Oysters were great, although there’s no regional selections of the oyster where you can pick (east coast or west coast). The sauce that came with it was a bad pick, there’s a reason certain Asian sauce does not mix well with raw seafood, for instance, here they served the Korean sweet and mild sauce which clashed with the salty oyster taste. We ordered two sets of wings in soy / garlic sauce and spicy sauce. Garlic sauce was good, flavorful, but BarKogi on midtown east had better wings. Really disappointed with the spicy wings, where they did not marinate the chicken and the meat was bland. Very good garlic curly fries tho, they probably double fried it and the fries managed to stay crispy after an hour, not too salty either!

Pricing wise, except oyster and shrimp cocktail was a dollar each, everything else on the happy hour menu is not NYC happy hour friendly, on the higher range.

Overall, it was 3.5/5 for my 2.5 hours dining experience.

I was in the area and in the mode to watch the World Cup and get some food. Mission accomplished. The Prime Rib burger was very tastey and the fries delicious (5 stars), the Sangria was decent (3.5 stars), the fried chicken dumplings (3.5 stars the decor) seating and rest rooms (4.5 stars). I would recommend.

Good kbbq. They have a cool roulette thing you can spin to win free stuff. Happy hour only at the bar and not at table.

I love this place! They changed the interior from a few years back and it’s better than ever. Came here for happy hour— $1 oysters and a few appetizers. I love that quality of food doesn’t change over the years. Good place to come for just dinner or even for a night out. Love the moon in the center of their bar!

This place would get 5 stars if it were a little cheaper. Don’t get the fried calamari. It’s tasteless. Truffle fries are a good deal. The Korean Fried Chicken in soy garlic is by far the best in the area. The Citrus salt and pepper version is junk.

Visited for happy hour. They have great specialty cocktails, beer, wine and a few food items on the happy hour menu. Their location in Union Square has a sizable bar so getting seats was not an issue. Service was very attentive and fast.

Went on a Friday night with some colleagues without a reservation. Had to wait about 40 minutes for a table. A lively place but the tables look a bit cramped up. I personally did not have much to eat as I wasn't feeling all that well but the rest of the people in the party thoroughly enjoyed their meals.

Super freundlicher Service, umwerfend gutes Essen. Was will man mehr? Wie authentisch koreanisch das Essen ist, kann ich nicht wirklich beurteilen. Es schmeckt aber hervorragend und wirkte auf uns durchaus wie „echtes“ koreanisches Essen. Die Preise bewegen sich im tieferen bis mittleren Segment. Hauptspeisen gibt es ab ca. 18 Dollar. Wenn man sich für das koreanische BBQ entscheidet kommt man aber auch schnell auf 40-50 Dollar pro Person. Lohnt sich aber definitiv.
