Squid is great - the mint basil is a great touch, chicken for two is massive. Watch out for the shishito peppers, they'll either be sweet and smoky or a burning legion in your mouth.
whoa! Hype is real. Didn't love contra but the small plates here are all great and it's pretty damn cheap. Favs: pork rilette, tuna, beef carpaccio, squid....honestly everything was strong
Grace is the best server , make sure you get her! Try the baby squid, fries and blood sausage.
the squid ribbons and veal jowl terrine are the two best items on the menu. alex is an amazing chef.
Pil Pil (Salt Cod), Txipiron "encebollado” (Squid Ribbons), & the Pulpo (Octopus Carpaccio) are our favorites!
Salt and pepper porkchop & squid, roast duck, and kang kong are a must...
Salt and pepper squid is a must!! Just the right amount of spicy salty fried goodness. Been coming here for 28 years. Looks can be deceiving. The food is awesome. Great for large groups
Get the fried & salted squid - delicious & generously portioned!
The buddae jigae, squid stuffed with spicy pork, and the watermelon soju has me coming back again and again.
Try the Squid stuffed with ground pork - This is some of the best Korean food I have ever had. If in NYC and you like Korean food, put this on your bucket list.
Watermelon soju & squid stuffed with pork belly👍👍👍
Ricotta dumplings, mussel toast, the squid rice, scallops, and steak tartare were all amazing. Order dishes to share, and then order a 2nd round of favs. Was too busy eating to document 😊
besides the food, where everything i had was amazing, there are some truly great cocktails here. particularly the todo mortal. also the fried arroz negro squid dish was something else!
Fried arroz negro w/ squid is truly delicious.
Squid, totally amazing flavours
Duck eggs, mushroom flat bread, baby squid, dates, olives, and tinta sangria were all fantastic. On par with tapas restaurants in Spain.
EVERYTHING is good. Get the Tinta sangria; the Spanish olives, bacon wrapped dates, squid, flatbread, quail eggs and pork ribs!!
Get the squid in ink with rice, the patatas bravas, chorizo al jerez, and, of course, the daily croquettes. One of the best tapas restaurants in NYC hands down.
The squid in ink and gambas a la plancha are amazing!
must have the peppers, squid in ink and tuna.
get the "Spanish French toast" for dessert. toeeija. and get the squid "xipironea". to die for!
Try the Seafood Paella Of Monkfish, Sepia, Squid, Shrimp, Clams, Mussels - PheNOMenal!!!
The meatballs are amazing and the squid is phenomenal too!
Recommended Dishes: Salt & Pepper Squid, Razor Clams, Flounder in Two Styles, Pan Fried Tofu, Peking Porkchops, & Fuzhou Fried Rice.
Best to go after 11:30pm and order all the fried foods. Fried salt and pepper squid, general Tso's chicken, fried bread w/ condensed milk
Salt Baked Shredded Squid With Cashews: $9.95
Get the grilled mackerel or fried squid legs

Great cheap izakaya. Grilled squid is my favorite.
Try the Calamari With Squid Black Ink
Everything is above average. Razor clamsa la plancha and squid with harissa and squid ink are standouts. Wish it were a bigger restaurant!
Authentic. Great food ! Razor clams, tomato bread, scallops, grilled squid, quail.
Spicy squid and pork belly dish and stone pots +mozzarella... Can't go wrong. Crave it on the reg.
Love their pork and squid stir fry, also their budae jiggae!!
Bangia is truly a hidden gem of K-town. I love the cozy atmosphere, the great food, and the friendly staff. You've got to try the squid fried rice with cheese.
The oysters are a must! The squid skewers are a little chewy but the sauce is excellent. Lobster salad is extremely refreshing and a nice transition from the appetizers to the main.
British seafood perfection. Loved the squid skewer, clams and cider, grilled oysters, smoked eel, and of course the fish and chips.
Baked oysters were unreal
Baked oysters w fennel. Grilled squid w lemon and oil. Meatballs. Oh my!
Sit at the bar for great service and recommendations. Can't go wrong with cheese and meat, squid salad, and most on the menu. Can be loud but still worth it.
The grilled squid and salmon carpaccio are delicious
Get the frispy squid and french butter frog legs! Best of NYC!
One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Best service and best food. Love these guys. I recommend the 'BBQ beef over vermicelli noodles' and 'salt & pepper squid'. Get a '33' beer as well. Enjoy!!!
Been coming here since 1990 and i still order the same meal -- summer rolls w shrimp, BBQ pork chop, crispy squid & their special iced coffee-- awesome every time!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
