Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014Bossam with raw oyster is super tasty. Love the spicy cold noodles they have during the summer. Really good kimchi as well.
All the menus with Mukeunji Kimchi are good. Very authentic Korean casserole place.
💎TFebruary 1, 2015Barbecue is good here ! They also have a sushi conveyor belt in the back. They allow you to walk over and take any dish.
Anna SantiagoMarch 10, 20131. Veg sundubu soup was good but surprised by the frozen veg medley in the soup vs fresh chopped veggies. :( 2. Don't get the kimchee pancake. 3. I appreciated the separate vegetarian menu.- JessicaMarch 10, 2015The kimchi. Authentic Korean kimchi! Open 24 hours, come any time to get good food.
Hyeonji LeeSeptember 1, 2011Try their Pork belly BBQ and Muk eun ji, Korean aged Kimchi.The sitting area is huge and comfortable. Ideal for family dinner or party!
Shiva SinghNovember 30, 2013Shrimp dumplings were cold inside, most likely undercooked. Free beer is awesome though. Not sure if I would come back again. Overall food wasn't as amazing as other reviews.
GaryApril 16, 2013One of the highlights in Manhattan's Koreatown. Plus, like many of their neighbors, they're open 24/7.
Always serves up some delicious Korean food. Jjambong is my go-to!
Ben RSeptember 18, 2014Jajangmyeon, aged kimchi, pork back casserole, maybe samgyupsal. Ignore the rest of the menu.
You have to try the kimchi backbone casserole!!!! Super yummy, soft pork & kimchi, friendly staff and nice seating!~ 
Chris HFebruary 23, 2013Serves one of the better versions of gamjatang (pork neck stew) in manhattan
Matt AnonApril 7, 2017This place is absolutely terrible. Do not go for BBQ. The food was bland and I will never return. The waitress was a sweetheart but I went for the food and left w/ a $90 tab & a bad taste in my mouth.
- Sterling LynchSeptember 28, 2013Sign says 20% off but check your bill. We had to fight for it. Good experience up to that point. Shame, really.
Graylyn RooseMarch 12, 2017My first experience in K-town did not disappoint. The boiled dumplings are great, and the omelette with pork belly/kimchi was delicious. Next time, I'll order the barbecue!
Christina SongMarch 25, 2013For the check in I got my complimentary glass of wine. Not sure what kind but it didn't taste like rubbing alcohol so it couldn't have been too cheap.
do NOT order the kalbi. definitely just stick to the pork belly
Alex KremerAugust 27, 2014There's a ton of Korean on this block but this is certainly one of the best. The kimchi alone is worth a visit.
Raj SarmaNovember 22, 2012Manager refused to honour the check in special. When told about four square he asked us to order more food, when we refused (since we were just four) he asked us to go to another place!!
Lori LuoAugust 11, 2014Come for the requisite Korean dishes and BBQ, but don't leave without trying their special aged kimchi, which the restaurant is named after.
Sean DelahuntSeptember 7, 2013The meat they served was questionable, service was subpar and the server was rude and tried rushing us out.
Andrey SimonenkoApril 15, 2013Кимчи - как в Корее. Собственно, ничего удивительного, если это корейский квартал, и вокруг одни корейцы :) из обязательной программы: бутылка Макколи (типа легкого рисового вина). Барбекю тоже супер!- 곱창전골 굉장히 괜찮네요. 거의 3.5인분 정도 되는 양. 나오는 시간은 다른메뉴보다 15분정도 더 걸리는듯. 맵게해달라고 주문하기! $46

"You leave here wishing you have tried everything on the menu. Share the deliciously spicy gnocchi (pictured), popcorn chicken, and the paella (has a good amount of seafood) for a well-rounded meal."
