Came here for a lunch reservation for 1. Hailey was super helpful in getting me accommodated. The Wagyu and Banchan was the best Korean food I've ever had. The food was so good that I came back later that same day for dinner! For dinner I ordered the fresh short rib which was also excellent. All the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and I will definitely be returning.

Summer Restaurant Week 2026 is here. We went for lunch on a Thursday. We just walked in around noon, no reservation. They seated us quickly and it wasn’t very crowded. They have two floors of dining area and a private room available. The RW menu was a little unusual. It was an app and two choices of 4 oz meat. The meat choice was either brisket or short rib and marinated short rib or beef belly. So you get an app, 8 ozs of meat and Banchan. We ordered Korean Fried Chicken, steamed dumplings, brisket, fresh short rib and marinated short rib. The chicken was excellent. It was nice chunk of meat not filler or coating. A little spicy but not too bad. The dumpling was also filled with meat. Both were juicy. All the meat was tender and nicely cooked. Our server Hojung Y grilled it for us. She was very friendly and attentive. The Banchan was okay. I’m not a fan of pickling or sour food. Most of the Banchan was pickled. Excellent place for lunch.

My colleagues and I stopped in for a weekday lunch and tried one of their lunch set deals. While the sets are convenient and include a good amount of food, they do feel a bit pricey for a typical workday lunch. The service was quick, and the atmosphere felt upscale, spacious, and extremely comfortable. One interesting detail was that the banchan is served individually with each meal rather than shared family-style on the table. Even so, the staff regularly came around offering refills. One of the banchan was a shredded meat dish that reminded me of barbacoa, and it was tempting enough that, with constant refills, it could almost turn into an all-you-can-eat situation. Each lunch set includes a protein, soup, rice, and banchan. We ordered short rib with soybean stew and multigrain rice, bulgogi with kimchi stew and white rice, and beef belly with soybean stew and multigrain rice. When the food arrived, there were several mix-ups, our rice, meats, and stews were all mismatched between the three of us. It wasn’t a major issue, so we didn’t bring it up, but it did reflect some major inaccuracy in taking the orders. As for the food, the short rib stood out as the best, tender and flavor

Top notch Korean BBQ in Midtown. Beet salad was refreshing and delicious followed by excellent Galbi dumplings. We chose Marinated Shott ribs and skirt steak, the skirt steak was very good while the short ribs were outstanding. The potato with black garlic, horseradish and mentaiko spread was sublime

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 3/5 Drinks 3/5 Yoon Haeundae Galbi: Great for KBBQ & apps, but I’d skip the cocktails Tteokbokki: 4.75/5. Crispy, chewy, and easily the best thing we ate. Potato Pancake & Octopus: 4.5/5. Both reliable and well-executed Prime Set: 4.5/5. Quality is there, though very "NYC portioned" Drinks: 2.5/5. Bartender's recommendations fell flat and flavors didn't balance well Mushroom Bibimbap: 2.5/5. Skip this, it's quite bland Service: Sat about 15-20 mins late for our 8 PM resy, though they have a bar for waiting
