- Susan S.August 29, 2017So delicious! The vibe was very casual and unassuming but the food was quite good. Their japchae was fantastic! Everything we ate was great. Grilled or in a boiling pot of soup is the way to go!
- KarenJanuary 27, 2018Get the budae jigae to share. If you like chicken gizzards, try the mild version (if you're not a big fan of spicy, even this level of spiciness will be too spicy for you).
- Serious EatsMarch 11, 2013A favorite Koreatown spot with plenty of soju and beer to wash down the spicy food. Don't miss the budae jjigae; one order is enough to serve three or four.
- Fabian MartinJuly 17, 2022Come here for the watermelon soju. 40$ gets 3 people drunk and it’s rly delicious! Do expect to wait a lot tho
- Christina ChinJuly 6, 2019The watermelon drink looks great. Small place, food is decent but priced like other ktown restaurants. Be wary of the tip they suggest on bill, they base it after tax total. No on visa, yes on amex.
- Simran DassNovember 16, 2021Fantastic vibes and amazing food. Great to go with a bunch of friends because you can get the watermelon soju drinks which are awesome, and it’s tapas style. Would highly recommend!
- BommyNovember 4, 2015Likely to have a hefty wait but put your name down and they'll text you. Food is ok - korean street/bar food but decor and ambiance are fantastic. Best to come in a group.
- Olga GarmataSeptember 28, 2013Don't hesitate to order watermelon soju and pork belly stuffed squid! Portions are huge (at least for me). Oh and the food is spicy ;) enjoy!
- Rudy GironNovember 7, 2013Try 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.
- The go-to spot for watermelon soju and some filling budaejigae. Order for the table and have it family style

- Bee WilliamsJanuary 9, 2016I had this amazing soup with a chewy noodle, forgot the name but it was super tasty! Also get the soju served in a watermelon!!
- Doris HuMay 16, 2015The squid stuffed with pork was amazing! Didn't care for the watermelon soju (very watered down).
- Tara SuanMay 3, 2015Has a lot of charm in an army-tent-under-the-sea feel. No, that did not make sense, but you'll see. We got a seafood pancake and bulgogi, yummy.
- The place to end the night (and maybe PTFO at the table?). Usually a wait though. Budae jigae and watermelon soju to share with the group.
- Amy YFebruary 24, 2015Alison says: "If you decide to stop by Koreatown, this is a fun place; get the budae jigae (serves 3+) and watermelon soju"
- Get the boodae jungol if you are adventurous in a group setting. Sounds weird but delicious!
- Jessica B.August 30, 2013The food is amazing, udon is delightfully chewy, spicy pork has amazing flavor. Watermelon soju is indeed tasty.
- Bryant BalatbatAugust 22, 2015Budae-jjigae was weirdly delicious. Don't describe it to friends who are about to try it for the first time. Let them just have it. Don't get the watermelon soju.
- Mike ShermanJanuary 14, 2017Soju punches a great, be warned the pineapple is small. Squid soondae is excellent--squid stuffed with pulled pork!
- Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014Watermelon soju is a must. Order another bottle of soju to add to it cause it's not very strong. Good is pretty good, too.
- Susie YinAugust 9, 2014Watermelon soju is obviously the thing to get, but best to get it in season, dukbokki and japchae are great too
- Adrienne LiuOctober 1, 2019Corn and cheese. Army stew. Japchae. Bring a bunch of friends after a night out to help you eat it all
- Owen HerterichAugust 28, 2016Great little upstairs spot, sort of a mix between a bar and restaurant. Try the watermelon soju
- Mary PMay 6, 2013Went upstairs, followed instructions to leave our name and wait downstairs. 20 minutes later after wondering how everyone who went upstairs never came back down turns out they were all seated. WTF.
- Ben HuffJune 1, 20171. Order watermelon soju. 2. Order extra bottle or soju. 3. Drink a little then Pour extra bottle of soju in the watermelon. 4. Enjoy your drunk
- Watermelon soju or you'll regret it. Also, the dried squid is a good snack.
- Nicholas McCrayAugust 23, 2010The budae jigae and yogurt soju were incredible. Unless you have a medical condition which prevents you from drinking alcohol, for the love of whatever spiritual deity you follow, get the yogurt soju.
- Honghui YuAugust 10, 2014Everyone who cones here gets the watermelon soju, and for good reason. Their stews are also quite good.
- Rebecca AlvarezMarch 30, 2018This place does the best army stew in al K-town. Get buddies together and share an order over drinks.
- Valentina S.June 16, 2012Well worth it just for the atmosphere! Love the fact that the walls are covered in a green net, just write a message on you chopstick paper and leave it there! :)
- LeahOctober 12, 2012This place was fabulous. A little Korean hole-in-wall. Kinda small, but it has character. Great selection of food!
- Saba NekoSeptember 12, 2016Decent food, the watermelon/pineapple soju and the atmosphere is very fun! Good for a group
- Gabriel HayesOctober 22, 2015The most fun place in K Town. One of my favorite Korean restaurants in New York City.
- Prathmesh JadhavAugust 11, 2013It's amusing to see how every server serves every customer.. The watermelon soju is awesome.. Will surely return.
- Connie ChiuNovember 13, 2014The Korean version of chicken and rice, as in a gathering of drunks at the end of a night to grub. Food is so good.
- Brian ChristopherJuly 16, 2014Get the squid stuffed with pork belly. And don't tip the waitstaff they're all dicks.
- Nicolo ScalaDecember 22, 2012It worth a visit. Try the bulgoki rice. If you love weird place, you will love this one!
