The fried chicken is absolutely delicious. If you go with a large party (7 or more), get a whole. As far as cocktails go, the tiger's whisker is awesome. Get some karaoke in, too! Super fun spot.

Brad Benson

Great spot! Good ambiance, great food, attentive service & not too crowded . Gratuity is included in prices (so no tipping) and there are reasonably-priced, private karaoke rooms !

Bin Yang

Galbi here is great, served alongside all you can eat banchan. Share some stews (soondubu is solid) and start with some haemul pajeon. Gratuity included, so expect good service , otherwise call em out.

Marc Mayer

The ribs made my friend cry. They're that good. He literally sat there weeping. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is. The mushrooms are fantastic!

Jerry Joseph

KBBQ is as good as K-town, just higher priced. I 100% reco the mochi cake ! We devoured it & none of us like sweets. Squash cake is supposedly made fresh daily so need to try that. Cocktails great too!

Julie Avra

great place for a celebration! The Barbecue was excellent, have the dry aged steak , cocktails and sake delicious, and the kimchi fried rice w bacon was so smokey and delicious

Peter Cucè

Some of the better Korean food in NYC, produced by the owners of another fave, The Good Fork. Great quality ingredients, good beer list , weekend lunch . Service is a bit unfocused and mostly non-Korean

Tony Xerri

The squid noodles were spicy and super tasty. Fried dumplings are worth the extra calories too. But you're going to need then for karaoke so plan accordingly.

Daniel McDonough

This place is really good. The fried chicken is a must. The tequila with agave vinegar cocktail is delicious with just the right amount of spice. No reservations for under 6 people.

Sophie Arguillere

First time there, good food I tried the fried chicken and the seafood galions pancake it was delicious. Very warm welcoming and the waiter was so nice.For karaoke people there seems to have fun.

Trending this week is a new Korean barbecue restaurant and karaoke lounge in Brooklyn, serving up traditional Korean BBQ with classic meat options like brisket , pork belly , and marinated short ribs . Read more

Borahm Cho

The short rib bbq is great and the meat Mandu. Kimchi fried rice is also ok. I don't recommend the pork belly . In general fresh ingredient , but really loud in there.definitely a great addition.

Kayleigh Harrington

Loved the rice cakes , the breakfast hash , and of course the Korean BBQ ! Good place for a big group of friends.

David Blackman

Dolsot Bibimbap and fried chicken are the standouts. Huge space . Haven't found the right BBQ meat yet.

Nate Folkert

5 karaoke room . largest accomodates 22 people, the smaller ones 8 people

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Beautiful space and wonderful staff . Still working out kinks with food but would definitely come back. Great bar also.

Jason Fry

Great food and friendly , pitch-perfect service. When COVID allows, the lounge is a great place to wait for your table or idle away a couple of hours.

Agatha K

nice korean hip place. it’s not the traditional korean restaurant you’d expect, but quite fun with a nice atmosphere.

Emily Yeager

Five private karaoke rooms - four 10 person rooms for $60/hour & one 22 person room for $160/hour. Call ahead for reservations ! :)

Sunny Kim

Great bossam !! Really good selection of banchan. Haven't had barbecue here and would love to come back!

Tatum Lade

Pork belly is good. Fried chicken , if you like sweet, fried stuff. Solid Brooklyn interpretation of classic Korean dishes .

Marie Richer

This place was so good! The prime rib was so well seasoned, fatty and delicious. Good cocktails and service too!

AmateurConcierge

Double however much bulgogi you were going to order, drink a bunch and then make your way to the Jungle Room in the back to belt your heart out

Larissa Alvarez

Family rented a room here for karaoke . The staff were so lovely and professional. Excited to go back to try the food.

Brian Moore

Everything. Incredibly delicious and the sweetest, best staff of any restaurant I've been to. Seriously.

Bryan Irace

Excellent food and good for groups , but set your expectations accordingly – far from an authentic KBBQ experience

Saarim Zaman

Really great group dining spot. BBQ + Beer Pitchers + Soju + Karaoke = Great Night

AmateurConcierge

Beautiful space with tasty Korean BBQ . Decent prices and cocktails are good

Liz

Authentic food in a cool setting, very good service , beef brisket bbq so good

Lisac0718

Ordered fried chicken , the pieces with bones were raw! The muscles in the tofu soup tastes bad! However, it is a nice place to hang out and grab drinks.

Benjamin Healy

Barbecue marinated short rib is tender and flavorful.

Erin Schulte Collier

Get the fried mushrooms to start and the poached pear to finish. 10/10

Cocktails are very good, karaoke is fun, chicken and service are only okay

Savannah Petrick

karaoke rooms are a great value ($60/60 min for a room that fits 10 people)

Marianna Fierro

Delicious seafood bbq and dumplings !

nikki

gratuity included is an ok idea, but it's still pretty expensive , especially with how damn crave-able every dish is. one is not enough. three is not enough!

Eileen

Fried chicken was good. Skip the tteokbokki , it was too pan fried. 50% off karaoke Mon - Wed

Karthik Raman

Fried chicken was so good. Moist and crispy .

Angela

Bossam (the pork belly ) was delicious but the rest of the food was meh. Didn't try the bbq but that may be the way to go.

Michael Rose

Big fan of this place - plenty of heavy hitters. The NY Sleepover as a cocktail is amazing, the wings, dumplings, scallion pancakes, and fundido were all to die for. Get the bibimbap and the bulgogi! - Diego Anell
