Delicious food! I’m a big fan of korean food and this place just fulfilled my appetite. We ordered Pork Ribs Tofu Curd, and Seafood-Scallion Pancakes. Great customer service.

Visited again for the second time to try different dishes. We order beef bulgogi hot pot (love the meat, but the soup itself is too sweet in my opinion), homemade tofu curd soup, and beef-octopus bulgogi. Overall I preferred the dishes we had for the first visit but it’s fun to try new things!
Visited the 3rd time because cold weather means you gotta eat hot soup. We again ordered Pork Ribs Tofu Curd (never feel tired of this dish), Korean Fried Chicken (super flavorful and crunchy), Pollocks with gochuchang sauce.

Wow absolutely fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Service is excellent, food is the best, atmosphere is so wonderful. No wait for a table, got seated right away after showing vaccine card/ID.

I ordered perilla seed tofu stew and spicy seafood tofu stew. Some of the best Korean food I've tried, the kimchi was so yummy I ate 2 small plates of it! The appetizers were all decent. Very impressive, don't miss this hidden gem on 35th Street.

I'm not sure how dinning in is after COVID, but the take out is a disaster!

Kimchi tofu soup: it’s like a mixture of tofu smoothies and beef, very surprising but in bad ways
Seafood pancake: only half a portion compare with dine in before
Spicy pork with tofu: only 3 tiny pieces of tofu was given
Rice: very small portion, finished with two bites

Overrall, I understand take out might not taste as good as dine in, but the portion is unbelievably small and why should I pay the same price?

Wonderful and flavorful food every time we go! We always order the Jeongol and it's delicious everytime. This place is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in NYC.

Probably my favorite korean in manhattan! It is usually pretty crowded but their food is worth it. I love their stews (great for 2-3 people) and their banchan (side dishes) are always solid

The takeout is terrible, tastes bad and overpriced, you may argue that the dine-in is good, but the takeout cost as much as dine-in

Kimchi Biji, pork rib soybean hot pot & their homemade chestnut makgeolli were flavourful and yummy! Appreciate the quality of their banchan as well. Expect a pretty long wait cos this place is always crowded.

My absolute favorite Korean restaurant in Manhattan k-town. The traditional interior gives it a nice atmosphere. They make their kimchi and tofu in-house and both are great. Wait staff is so sweet. This is one of the few places I feel completely confident taking my native Korean friends to. Highly recommend their "hot pot" dishes as well as the bossam.

They make their own tofu which tastes great. My top pick for korean soondubu jjigae in manhattan. Even better than some restaurants in korea.

The spicy galbi jmji is really good. The tiramisu is not defrosted and tastes horrible. The service is bad.

This place is so incredibly delicious! Even my husband who isn't a generally a fan of Korean food said it was good! The tofu appetizer was warm and delicious and the banchan was perfectly seasoned. Usually if the banchan is good, the food is good! Hubby's bulgogi plate was huge. The Korean fried chicken had a thin crispy layer and was perfectly cooked even though the chunks were huge. It came with a dipping sauce side instead of being tossed together which I actually prefer because it gets soggy if it's tossed with the sauce. I got the lunch combo with the seafood pancakes and seafood tofu soup. Even though the tofu stew was a lunch portion, it had a generous amount of seafood. Soft octopus, one headless shrimp, one mussel, and one clam. Yummy! I highly recommend this place if you love Korean tofu stews.

Incredible food. We got the squid + bulgogi, fried chicken, and Seafood Stew. The stew is easily the best Korean stew in Manhattan (though if you want something comparable you just have to cross the river to New Jersey)

The beer pitcher is also extremely generous for the price and i also recommend the rice wine!
