Stephanie S.March 13, 2014Best time to come in is before 12PM. Seem to be bigger servings and not crowded yet. Didnt know they have lunch specials!, makes it even better. Beef bibimbop w the stew combo! My go-to for Korean.
Simon KratzerFebruary 15, 2017The BBQ Combo 2 is incredibly good and enough for 3 if you get 1-2 appetizers with it.
Late night, it is quiet w/ friendly service. Around 6:30, the long line starts inside. It is stressful to eat w/ ppl eyeing you! Service is rushed and you are handed the bill before you are finished.
Tony XerriSeptember 12, 2013Nobody goes to Korean BBQ to relax, they go to eat amazing food and get rowdy with friends. Whatever you end up ordering, just make sure you add on the seafood pancake because its absolutely divine!!!
Salman AnsariFebruary 15, 2023Love the veggie Jap chae and the short ribs most of all. If you get the tofu soup, make sure to ask for non-seafood as it’s too fishy otherwise. Stone pot with chicken was good but not great.
Jin MoonJune 5, 2016They moved from what is now Five Sense to across the street. Line is still long and the staffs are still rushing you. But they have tastier sides and egg casserole for BBQ.
Sue EllenDecember 23, 2017Try the chicken bibi bop! Really quick with orders even though there was a 30 minute wait. Food fills you up and tastes amazing!
Michael NataleApril 8, 2015One of my favorite late night spots in NYC. Addicted to their Hae Mul Pa Jeon and Hae Mul Bibimbap. Seafood pancake and seafood rice bowl. Quick eats too
Joe KileyApril 10, 2016Everything is delicious here. Just make sure you go with someone who knows Korean food. The Bulgogi is on point
Perfect after a night of drinking since it's open 24/7. I'm obsessed with the complimentary steamed egg. So good.
Kunjip = the ultimate hangover preventer. Stop by at 4am for some budae jjigae and spicy starters and you're guaranteed to wake feeling as good as new. Or at least much better than you would otherwise
Jimmy WangJune 30, 2013Don't come here during rush hour, it's hot and they're always trying to force you out as soon as possible. Korean food and BBQ is best done comfortably and with friends!
Xin Hui LeeSeptember 20, 2016Worth the wait! Everything is great. BBQ meats are prepared by cheerful and friendly staff. Good place to have a fun gathering with friends.- Becca BaeJanuary 14, 2016Love the new&bigger space, though the old one was super quaint. Everything is very good, kimchi or budae chigae are my go-to's.
Their kimchi is awesome. Their sundubu chige still is my favorite. Watch out its very fast service and they will push u out when your done to make room for other patrons...
CJanuary 20, 2015Very great Korean food. Their appetizers are one of the best in Korea town I have had. Bibimbap and seafood tofu soup are awesome.
Christina ChinJune 5, 2018The stew was addicting but pretty sweet..i thought the place was fine but my friend saw server give food to one table who stuck their fork in it then took away and served to another table!!
Adam SalsmanNovember 9, 2015Everything. And very accommodating. Walked in off the street with a party of 12, and they still only made us wait 30 mins.
Tinashe DhliwayoFebruary 21, 2015Came here after a really late night. There was only one or two other tables so the service was quick. Food was delicious with large portions.
Great Korean food at any time of day or night. They'll only give you the free steamed egg (gaeran jim) if everyone orders an entree, but if you do, it's unlimited!
Mr LoftonJanuary 5, 2014Food was great and you know it was good because the place stayed packed with a line going out the door into the cold winter streets.
What's Good HereAugust 12, 2014The line at this local favorite for Korean food starts forming about 6pm on weeknights. Come early or be prepared to wait.
Neelu RaviNovember 18, 2017As a vegetarian I was satisfied with the options they have. The Vegetarian stew was delicious.
AdnaJune 11, 2015Got the yukgaejang lunch special. It was delicious. Staff seemed like they were trying to hurry us out though.
The Kalbi Jim is really freaking good! But shit, when did this place get so popular. Get there early for anything or super late at night or be prepared to stay in line forever.
Ms HeleneMarch 14, 2013Now I know why people line up. Bulgogi was huge but even tho cooked at the table, it lacked a char flavor since dipped in white soup at base of BBQ. Seafood pancake was a bit soggy. Vege sides great.
Don't bother coming here if you want to relax and enjoy a meal with friends. I'd recommend this place for anyone who wants to order on the sidewalk and leave immediately after the last person finishes
Racky RossDecember 6, 2014One of my favorite Korean restaurants in the city. The spicy soups are delicious. It's often crowded though.
Yvette MartinezSeptember 24, 2012My favorite Korean spot, but be prepared for terrible customer service. Difficult to get any waiter's attention, rarely refill drinks, and if you don't leave enough tip, they will hunt you down.
The perfect group dinner: Galbi, Tteokboki, & Mandu. Perfect shareable dinner with a small group of friends.- Jaeson KimDecember 14, 2010Great stews (try Soon Dubu or Budae Chigae), good service, and for the amount of food you get which includes post-meal dishes, it's pretty cheap. Expect lines during mealtimes.
- Susan YSeptember 7, 2015Great barbeque, a tad pricier but better quality! recommend the lunch specials!
Christina WardMarch 2, 2018I had bibimbob. Flavors are good but my “warm” dish was cool - probably because I chose a lunch special that was made too far in advance
My favorites are the yukgaejang in the winter and the mul naeng myun in the summer
Jason BrewDecember 31, 2014Great Korean food and stays busy late nights. Great place to get a bite after drinking and karaoke
ju juMay 4, 2019waiters throw things around making loud noises. its all subtly rude, as if they don’t want to be there. management’s fault. i had shumai which tasted good but felt uncomfortable in the place.- Vanessa GohMay 16, 2013Get the combo with bimbimbap and spicy tofu soup! Really hits the spot in winter :)
Somehow feel like it's smaller than the old Kunjip. People have to line up on the stairs to wait. Food hasn't changed though, still good.
Anusha PachunuriAugust 1, 2017Got the steamed veggie dumpling and the veggie tofu bibimbap with egg. Was good
Roman BedinerOctober 31, 2015Not many places on 32nd to get a really good Beef Pho. Ask for extra beef.
Michelle PintoDecember 27, 2014It was busy at 5pm & got busier while there. Definitely do the BBQ. The meats are good.
InchulOctober 29, 2016gets busy starting at around 6:30pm. i think the turnaround is pretty quick though.
The Bim Bim Bop here is extremely good! That along with the free appetizers and your night is set.
PeterJune 22, 2019Don’t go here! I’ve never had a worse experience at a restaurant. They’re SO rude, the food is honesty pretty bad, long hair in the soondubu jjigae, and the place is crawling with cockroaches.
