I had Mighty Quinn's Pulled Pork Sandwich Combo delivered to work a few nights ago and it was pretty great. I included Roasted Sweet Potatoes, which were excellent as always and Burnt End Baked Beans, which had huge chunks of burnt ends in them. I'm not a huge slaw fan, but their vinegar slaw was perfect for cutting through the richness of the pork. At first, I thought I had been shortchanged on the sandwich as the meat looked like a lot of dark, fatty skin but it was soft, shredded pork, wrapped up in crispy, blackened bark which packed a real flavor punch. The container it came in had a good amount of pork juices, which I doused my sandwich with, along with their amazing BBQ sauce. The Chocolate Fudge Brownie from Greyston Bakery was a nice end to the meal. The only issue was that I struggled to focus on work due to the sleepy-eyed, grinning "meat coma" stupor that this meal induced in me. Well done, Mighty Quinn!
Their food was splendid. I would highly recommend this location if you want some great food and service. Shout out to Sheem for suggesting beans and Brussels with brisket, great choice. I will definitely come again.
I eat The wings everyday for lunch . Delicious,
Jaren always helps me , he knows my order by heart and it’s always a pleasant experience to come to this location .
Have gone to other Mighty Quinn’s around the city this was the first for the midtown one. How is it you had no ribs ? To be a bbq joint and not have ribs should be illegal . The staff were great service with a smile very clean and let you try sides before you order them . Besides the fact that I was traumatized by them not having ribs everything we ok and I would come back if they had ribs

I ordered catering for my job’s Christmas luncheon and I must say, EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! Every co-worker from American to Poland to Russia to Jamaica etc…. Loved it!! Can’t deny good food! Definitely will be eating from here more.
Ordered delivery. For a $21 plus sampler of 2, the brisket's texture is bad. It's like im eating a jerky. Ribs are good.

Why would you send me brisket that looks like yesterdays leftovers thats been reheated? It is dry beyond salvation. Please watch your food when you send it. Won't be coming back.
I ordered a Brisket sandwich and it was delicious, but it’s kind of small. I also tried se mc & cheese that has a great taste, was my favorite. The staff is really kind and even if you order by the screen they give you meals recommendations.

An amazing experience with the wagyu beef tasting menu. It was a delight to try various cuts of wagyu beef, each prepared in a unique cooking style. The service was also commendable. I would advise to arrive with an appetite, as the portions are generous, especially considering it’s a tasting menu full of wagyu beef

Great service and atmosphere. The food needs improvement. I tried the nachos, flautas, Mexican street corn, bbq pulled pork bowl and the smoked chicken burrito. The nachos could have included some meat but maybe that was because we got the happy hour nachos. The flautas were decent. The Mexican street corn was drenched in sauce and wasn't very good. I feel like every dish tasted nearly the same with the same sauce. I expected the smoked chicken burrito to have an actual smoky chicken flavor but the sauce just overpowers everything else.

After walking around the city for hours, we were so happy to find a place that was open! The staff were absolutely lovely and extremely attentive. The kimchi pancake and japchae were definitely my favourites but they had a good variety of banchan. Would 100% recommend! I’ll have to come back for barbecue next time.

I'd never experienced Korean BBQ but my husband thought I'd like it, so we made reservations for our first anniversary while we were in NYC. It was excellent through and through, and the staff was very helpful in regards to my dietary restrictions! I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, and chicken, and everything on the menu was clearly marked. When they brought the sides and toppings, they went over which ones were safe for me and which ones were just for my husband. Everything was phenomenal. I had zero reactions, and if we'd had a microwave in our hotel room you bet we'd have taken a bunch of leftovers back with us!! We ordered way too much food but we wanted to try different things, and to our server's credit, he did tell us we had likely chosen plenty of food. 🤣

Found an egg shell for my beef tartar, the server’s attitudes great,he exchange it very fast to a new one.Later found black color human hair in my ice cream….it’s probably eyelashes or something, also got refund for that😅

The servers attitudes are all very nice but the food quality is really concerning🤮 this isn’t supposed to happen for what I paid.

Love Mighty Quinn. Original location and here. Today's brisket bit dry. Surprising since I was first served off the wrap.
Also surprised line is shorter (which is great). Many order jasmine rice bowl eith two sides (sign of times, perhaps).
Baked bean sides, cole slaw, pickles, corn bread perfect.
Great service, very friendly staff. Visited in the early afternoon and wasn’t too busy which was nice. Great selection of drinks and the brisket is defo the star of the show, pulled pork was a little salty but not so much you couldn’t eat it also may just be my own personal taste.

Be sure to try the sprouts, Uber tasty and a great side to the brisket.

absolutely mind-blown by the smoked chicken (both burrito and taco), must try! it's a bit spicy and creamy and the chicken was cooked to perfection, hands down one of the best i've ever had.
also, strongly recommend their spicy margarita if u have an appetite for hot stuff.
the shrimp taco was also good but must be eaten right away, i'd still go for the grilled chicken.

One of my favorite places in NYC. I always get the yuzu martini, fried chicken, shrimp and quail appetizer, and a selection of meats. The shrimp and quail appetizer is a must try.
The ambience is fantastic and service is excellent. The restrooms are also very posh and unique. This is the perfect place for a date night or for catching a meal with old friends.

The perfect example of why monopolies are terrible for consumers... when you're the only restaurant on the river you're guaranteed customers no matter. The calamari was some sort of dusty white plastic in a half-hearted batter. Extremely chewy, cold, and absolutely no taste. Was also served with some ghastly sweet sauce. I know they were understaffed and unprepared, but oh dear what lack of organization.

We were waiting for the bus lmaaaooo then we realized it was happy hour so we decided to walked in. Everything was fantastic, the happy hour was great and lemme tell you, those nachos were incredible, no lie probably some of the best nachos in the city. Margaritas were great as well. If you happen to be around this place is worth it!!!

Certainly one of the best Korean restaurants I've ever been to. At first, I was hesitant about this place since I'm not a huge fan of Korean food. Yet, I was delightfully surprised. I ordered their spicy pork rice dish. It came out in a flaming hot bowl which cooked everything while you were still eating. The rice got super crispy at the bottom and the spiciness was on point! The japchae was also superb. Everything we ordered was so good and would love to come back.

Nice interior design and comfortable chairs! The Guac two appetizers were fresh and plentiful. My shrimp fajitas were delicious and a plate full. My sons dinners were also enjoyed. Recommed this place. Afterwards - enjoy some restful time in the Madison Square Park- 1/2 block away.

It was beautiful! We really were on the Hudson with a good view of the GW bridge, the cloisters and greenery. There was also live music in the corner.
There are 2 main areas. One is more in the sun. This area has some couches and umbrellas and there's also tall metal chairs with no shade.

I get hot easily and didn't want to bake, so we moved "inside." It's an open air building with ceiling fans. It was perfect. We got a breeze but still were part of the outside experience. No walls.

The server was very attentive and repeated everything back to us. They were able to make things spicy or not at all.
The family members i was with love alcohol so they all got some kind of fruity drink. I stuck to soda but it was a relatively big glass.

In terms of food, everyone liked theirs. I was not feeling great so my experience is not as important except to say that i could get something plain if i wanted.

Everyone else tried different tacos and they said they were delish. We also got some sides. The brussel sprouts were fresh and not mushy. We all liked them.
Another side was mashed potatoes with parmesan on top. I didn't want any. Nobody really liked it.

Earlier, it's worth mentioning that we got Guacamole and chips to share. The chips were homemade and the Guacamole was really good. But i do think they could have given us a bigger portion of Guacamole.

By the end of the meal, we were all stuffed but i am always intrigued by sweets. I got a scoop of vanilla and one of chocolate. A very nice hearty portion! There was even whipped cream and some chocolate sauce.

So, all in all, I would GO. I don't know when it closes for the season but it's like being in another city. You're far enough away from the traffic that you don't hear it at all!
Tried this BBQ joint. Food overall was good. A little pricey but it is in NYC.

The Brussel sprouts were very delicious. Awesome flavor. The empanadas seemed a little dry and not enough umpf for me to try the other flavors. The wings were good also. They were smoked but I prefer the skin to be crispy when eating.

Overall this place provided excellent customer service and was pleased overall with the dine in experience.

First time experiencing Korean BBQ - it was a lot of fun! The meats were juicy & tender. The pork belly was my favorite. The portion sizes were reasonable, albeit slightly on the smaller side.
Really very good! We came in from our flight early and we were looking for a place to eat breakfast. We’re glad we found Miss Korea, they’re open 24/7. The food is really very good!

Amazing food, friendly and fast service, and a clean welcoming atmosphere. This location is perfect for a date for two, dinner with friends or stopping in for happy hour from 4-7. You should check it out. I suggest the chips and queso, and their brisket burrito. The portions were perfectly balanced so you felt full but could still be on the move.

The food was brilliant especially the Brisket! Sebastian was very nice and a perfect waiter.
Next time we will come back - for sure.
Price (30 USD per person for a lot of food and a drink) is okay for this great food.

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon after work (4:45pm) with my hubby.
Had a Resy reservation, but there was no visible host to receive us.
It was more a self serve type of situation as we ordered our food at the ordering station/bar, seated ourselves and picked up our food when our buzzer went off.

I’m giving 4 stars because they were out of their “sunset hour” sliders (both beef & pork).
We got there super early, so not having their happy hour food in stock is quite unfair and unacceptable to be honest.

My hubby had the other remaining sunset hour food option, which was the:
- oyster special (6 for $12)
He said the oysters were decent.

From the regular food menu he had the:
- clams casino ($16.95)
He said they were decent.

I, a vegetarian, had the:
- fried cauliflower with BBQ flavor ($12.95)
Very generous amount and yummy!
- veggie tacos (3 for $13.95)
Grateful for this veggie option and I enjoyed, but truthfully not the best veggie tacos I’ve had.

Although it wasn’t really what I expected service wise, the food being decent, that scenery however is just amazing (weather permitting of course) as is the vibe, so I absolutely will return during next year’s summer season!

P.S.
I also LOVE that they have their own photo booth! $6 for 2 photo strips!

It pains me to give only 3⭐️s to The Hudson because I think going there is a GREAT EXPERIENCE. But that is due mainly to the incredible views and breeze, which has little to do with the resturuant. That’s NYC, all on its own.

We went on a Tuesday evening when it wasn’t very busy at all. Seating took a moment (no one else was waiting), and once we sat it was about 15 minutes before an overworked waiter arrived for our orders (the location is cripplingly understaffed).

A couple quick notes:
1) the pins colada was only 1/2 frozen.
2) the Caesar salad had wilted lettuce and red ends. You can see by zooming in on the photo I’ve posted.
3) the short ribs I ordered came with brussel sprouts on the menu but none came with dish. No explanation given either. Getting a waiters attention to amend would have taken another entire evening.
4) the waiter - though kind - only paid attention to me and never made eye contact with my partner in some odd way. This happens on occasion when going out, but the feeling of being ignored by a waiter needed to be shared, even though it was not me who experienced this issue.

Staff were extremely friendly and checked on your table frequently, but not to an annoying amount. The meat here has a much higher quality compared to other bbq places which balances out with the price. Recommend for a nice dinner with your partner or group hangout if you’re looking for a higher class dining experience.

Man, this was such a delight! Food came in less than 5 minutes after ordering and was delicious. They customized my daughter's nachos the way she likes them without any extras. My burrito was extremely good and my wife enjoyed her fishy tacos. A must near Broadway Street. I asked for spicy sauce and brought 3 sauces for me to taste. Another victory !

Amazing! We made reservations for three and ordered the Combo (all beef). It came with so many sides and the meat was so tender and juicy. The guy who cooked for us (I think his name was Artemio) was friendly and made suggestions on drinks and what to order. The ambience was great with nice music playing (I found myself swaying to the rhythm). As we were leaving William stopped us and gave us complimentary sake shots in celebration of our friend just graduating from nursing school! He was soooo nice and described each sake and poured it in glasses with fluorescent lights! What a great time! I can't wait to go back!

I came in solo and sat at the bar. Mark was tending bar, super friendly and had great suggestions. I landed on the Smokey Margarita and the Smoke Chicken Burrito. Both were mellow on the Smokey flavor which was perfect. Food was delicious and a little on the heavy side. It’s a unique twist on a burrito and was more than expected. Looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Come for the view of the Hudson.

I came because of how close it is to HRCS boathouse and the location, service staff, and view did not disappoint. Unfortunately, I missed allergens on my order so that was a bummer.

Ordered the fish tacos with mango salsa and spicy aioli. Forgot to check for allergens and had to send that back, because the salsa had like 4 colors of raw bell peppers. It looked beautiful just not for someone who can't eat Bell peppers. They very quickly remade the meal with out the salsa and brought it to me. Unfortunately, I ended up with 3 very plain pieces of fried cod on doubled corn tortillas. Fish was cooked well and the spicy aioli was good. But it needed cabbage or something else without the colorful mango salas it was missing a crunchy topping. The selection of frozen boozy drinks was long, but I stuck with a coca cola. I wish the soda was a fountain drink and not a canned drink for the cost.
Overall not worth it.
Brisket was good, but half of it was fat only.
Burnt ends were very dry and I ended up tossing them. Cornbread was extremely sweet. Slaw was good.
Are we gonna come back? Probably not, no.

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Obviously nice having the meat cooked at our table. The glass noodles were super tasty. I really enjoyed the bibimbab too. Considering the amount of food we had I think it was very reasonably priced. Toilets were clean too.

Good food. Great fish tacos (2 in one dish) - fried or grilled fish (fried is tastier). We ordered a Jambalaya burrito 'Jamburrito' ($21 each). It was big, cheesy, tasty, and very filling, great for 1 person. We ordered ginger beer and pineapple juice - both are not on the menu but can be ordered. We paid $92 including tips for 2 non-alcoholic drinks, 1 starter, and 2 mains - very reasonable. Our reservation was at 6.30 pm and the place was very empty. They have plenty of seats.

Some of the best BBQ meat we’ve tried.

We ordered the three meat platter and a side. The ribs, brisket and pulled pork were all cooked and seasoned to perfection. The broccoli salad as a side was also very tasty. Service was efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place for BBQ in New York

The C rating was a bit concerning but I will give it another shot.

I would recommend making a reservation, they were pretty busy and we had to sit near the doors which isn’t a big issue. The place was assume! Our server was helpful with recommendations and the service was fast and quality. The food and drinks had all the flavor you’d hope for. I’d definitely recommend and return again. Thanks for a great experience!

A solid spot for lunch thanks to a very affordable meal despite being in an area known for tourism. They can be quite packed and the service can be a bit slow at times, so come with some time to spare. Ordering is self-service with touch screens and pickup is by person. You can see the servers preparing the bowls behind the counter with large pots of food. Seats are more plentiful than I initially thought, but they can fill up very quickly.
I got the burnt ends with broccoli when I came. Upon getting your order, you also get sauce on the side. However, the ends are one of the items that come with sauce, unlike the brisket. Unfortunately, the sauce is much too strong for me. It's sweet and tangy, but I barely get any of the meat flavor through how strong it is. It was also a good amount already on the food, so the extra sauce was pointless for me. I had to dilute it a bit by just eating it with the vegetables.
I probably will try a different menu item next time I come. The veggies were good and, while I couldn't taste the meat, the texture of it was very toothsome and well cooked.
Music needed, service was meh, but what really matter which is food, was absolutely superb! Flavors on point, mashed sweet potato and bread pudding are the stars of the show for me because they balance the savory dishes. We went over the top with portions, so i would recommend to get just 2 sides and 1 meat.
The half chicken was medium rare, that was definitely because of how they smoked it, compared to a german grilled half chicken. The wings where well done, but the Spare Ribs are a Dream, really really tasty. Thumbs up. I recommend Mighty Quinns BBQ

If you are looking for a nice atmosphere this is definitely the spot. Unfortunately that's it.

Let's begin with the drinks. Lucky enough, the drinks were good. We all had a round of Pina Colada's (Virgin and regular).

The server, recited our order and all seemed in place for a delightful gathering.

The food... for appetizers we had the popcorn shrimp, stuffed clams and guacamole and chips. The popcorn shrimp were slightly over cooked and the dressing on the side tasted like mayonnaise. Not the greatest. The guacamole was presented in a small dish within a large plate of chips accompanied with a ramekin holding a tiny Tabasco sauce and lime... the highlight of the outing. The stuffed clams were good but a bit overcooked.

For our entrees... first and foremost we were a party of 7 and they completely forgot to order the hamburger which led one of us to wait for what was described as "NOT WORTH THE HYPE!"

The Lobster Roll- dry and served on slice bread. The butter held an odd smell and taste. Needless to say, unappetizing and went back to the kitchen. Onion rings were ordered which they forgot to order as well.

The Smoked House Ribs held very little smokey taste despite being advertised as "smoked for 10 hours," as described by the party.

The Birria tacos arrived without sauce. When the young man was made aware he went to my plate and stated the sauce for the Birria tacos was on the Steak plate. Smh The sauce was also too spicy.

Two orders of Salmon Teriyaki, for the most part it was delicious, although slightly overcooked. The skin was crispy and vegetables and mashed potates were cooked to taste.

The Steak arrived without a knife to cut into it, accompanied with fries. The fries were crispy however I requested the steak medium well and it was a well done steak. =-(

Lastly, the hamburger which arrived late due to not being ordered with the rest of our parties food was "NOT WORTH THE HYPE," as described by the patron. You are charged for the patty and bread and any extras are and additional charge.

Overall the atmosphere is beautiful, the view is astonishing and the breeze made the outdoor setting memorable. As far as food the appetizers were better than the entrees. I give this place 2 stars given thr experience/food.

Can’t get enough of the food, drinks and service in here. Super friendly and helpful staffs, great atmosphere and great food.

Try their Smokey Chicken Taco (eat it while it's hot). It’s one of the best tacos. Sooooo good.
Also, my second favorite is their Avocado taco.

For the drinks I always go with Spicy Margarita. Noel, makes the best drinks.

Highly recommended in the heart of the big apple - Times Square ❤️

Overall experience was okay. Food was generally expensive, and bring-your-own-liquor was charged 35 dollars. Samgyupsal was good, and so were cold noodles. Service was pretty good - serving staff were friendly and ensured everyone had their needs fulfilled.
We went to New York City for business. We were searching for Korean Foods. We found Miss Korea BBQ. We felt like we went to an underground restaurant in Korea. The atmosphere was cool and unique. They opened 24 hours 😱 We ordered the extra thick port belly for BBQ grill. We had some port dumpling 🥟 and spicy tofu soup. It was so delicious! The service was fast and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. We will try other stuffs next time. The overall experience was excellent and we will definitely go back when we at NYC.

We gave them 9.8 out 10 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This place sells the best Chinese style roasted peanuts of all the types tried. 有小时候喜欢吃的盲公佬花生(咸脆花生)味道。Perhaps it brings back youth and memories. I live in SF, always try to get the roasted peanuts from here when visiting or ask friends to get it for me when they come to visit SF.

We had a unique experience at Yakiniku Futago for lunch much on a Friday afternoon. It’s fun to cook the food ourselves. It was a bit new to us, but it’s fun to try. The steak and chicken had great flavors. Next time I probably will try more stuff there.

It’s a good place for drinks after a visit to the Cloisters. Don’t expect amazing service or life changing food, but we enjoyed the fried calamari and room temperature rose while the sunset on a Friday evening. Views 5/5. Food 3/5. Drinks 4/5. A nice place for date night but probably not the best place for a first date.

Such a fun experience. Great food and the staff was very helpful. We had been wanting to have an "authentic" Korean BBQ dinner for some time and finally had the opportunity. (We used to go to one in Arlington VA that was amazing! It's hard to find ones that you actually BBQ yourself). Though they actually did the BBQing for us, it was fine. They kept coming around to set things up and get us organized. The drinks were good too. Can't wait to go back. But go with a larger group so you can try more things. We were only 3 and one is vegan, so the other 2 of us had to share and there was so much food.

Over priced "Japanese" (really Korean) restaurant with great service and nice atmosphere. Don't be surprised spending $150 per person. The wagyu sushi was great especially after you took the rice off (reverse sushi). The salad was trash- badly cut. The rest of the meat was fine - but you do all the work. Overall- small amounts of food for ridiculous prices.

The food and atmosphere were fantastic. Spent $100/ea, but it is some of the best Korean bbq around, and it is very modern and clean with mostly attentive staff.
Made a reservation for 7, but was not allowed to be seated until most of us were there. Then there were only 6 seats and they had to cram 7 into 6. Had to ask a couple times for more water, sauce, rice, and banchan. Overall good experience and less crowded than the other Korean bbq places in the area.
It was mediocre, people would tell me this place had delicious fresh smoked meats. But it didn’t really taste fresh. I had the 3 meat sampler including pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. Then french fries and mac and cheese. Definitely on the pricey side. The fries were crispy and good. The meats did have the pull apart tenderness. The barbecue sauce is very good. It’s definitely not bad to try with the beautiful outside view in the open food court dining area!

We've been here a couple of times and the food never disappoint! We got the special wagyu this time and the server cooked it for us. Every part of that meat was so delicious! We also tried the cold noodle this time and it's a perfect refresher after the jbbq. The dessert matcha shaved ice was really good too. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely come back again!
Being from Texas, I'm very picky about my brisket & ribs. This place is so good!! The BBQ sauce was good, but liquidy. I also had the Mac & Cheese fritters & Sweet Corn fritters. Delicious!!

I came here with my friend because we were hungry. We enjoyed our meal here. They gave good portions, we were very full from what we ordered. I really enjoyed the juicy pulled pork. I will be coming back here again for sure. They have options to choose different types of meat in a platter. That's the option I got; a chicken and pulled pork. Wasn't a big fan of the chicken, but the pulled pork was delicious.

Please visit here if you want to treat yourself with very authentic flavor of Japanese BBQ! I loved all kinds of meat but especially A5 Wagyu beef steak was 💯💯💯

Also, don’t forget to order a cold noodle in the end. They also use northern Japanese style noodle same as Futago which is amazing!!

My wife and I recently got back from our first trip to Japan and Nikutei Futago transported us back to the peaceful alleyways of Kyoto, for a culinary experience we won't soon forget.

We had the Lunar New Year menu which was on the pricier side but included some rare cuts from acclaimed Japanese Wagyu brands Matsusaka & Omi. The menu was presented very well with each flavor seamlessly transitioning to the next and a very satisfying rice & eel dish and desert to cap things off, leaving us feeling contently filled.

The private room with a Garden view was an excellent touch and the server was welcoming and skilled with presentation and preparation. The chef was kind enough to send us off with a delicious to-go meal which we enjoyed the next day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese fine-dining experience.

It was my first visit to the restaurant to celebrate a special occasion.
I’m no way considering myself a regular to fine dining. This experience was very different than what I was expecting.
I ordered a “late blossom” cocktail for the drink and the special “treasure chest” meat special for the entree.
I did enjoy the drink that I ordered. The cocktail was well-balanced for my taste. The meat was good but not much different than what I could get elsewhere for wagyu beef.
I am no expert in Japanese restaurants and I am not sure what exactly a Japanese steakhouse is supposed to feel like but this place didn’t fit into the picture I had in mind.
It felt like it had some mixture of Korean items incorporated into the Japanese menu.

The price was too high to justify the food and the service. I was expecting a service that would leave an impression but it was just average. I also felt like I had to fight for the staff’s attention to order.
It just felt like a restaurant up charging for the location but didn’t offer much else than an expensive bill.
The impression I got from the visit was not that of great food but a restaurant that upsells an average menu item at a high price.

Situated in the middle of Korea town, surrounded by some very good Korean restaurants, Dons Bogam is definitely making a name for itself. Beyond the great ambience, not so great welcome service, friendly wait staff, what really makes this place special is the great quality of meats and food. It can be on the pricier side but the quality of the food and the ingredients make up for it. They also have a good selection of drinks and wines. The service however, felt a little rushed at times. Always have someone cook for you on table. The side dishes are always refilled and renewed. It can get really busy during dinner so reservations are always recommended.

The man preparing the food is very courteous in a stern manner. The duck is juicy and the bbq pork is tasty (not the fatty nor burnt type that is served in Singapore, but still it is good). For the value it is hard to beat.
The burnt ends and mac n cheese were easily the best we've ever had. The brontosaurus Rib was so tasty and tender (went to the Broadway branch first but they don't actually do it there so headed to the next closest store). Only advice would to be to keep that meat as hot as possible please! We didn't turn up that late (maybe 7-7:30pm) and most of it was warm rather than hot but the flavours were just so good! Hope to be back another time.
Yummy! Found this walking around the food court at Brooksfield. Only complaint is the pulled pork… very small portion :( but it was very tender and delicious. Everything was served super fast. I loved everything, will definitely be coming again. Their sweetened ice tea is perfect to my liking :)

An amazing A5 wagyu meal is just the tip of the iceberg. It was an experience of quality, service, flavors, and art of food. The fact that they get their beef from their own farm in Japan and source their ingredients from Japan is a testament to their menu. This is a must try experience.

The tasting course was a massive letdown. The tasting course with the sake pairing is just under 500 per person. For that price point, I expected bigger portions of wagyu. That’s the whole premise of the restaurant. A major red flag was the abundance of gold flakes as a garnish. It doesn’t add anything to the culinary experience. A5 wagyu doesn’t need gold flakes to elevate it. I feel restaurants use the gold flakes just to inflate the price point with little effort.

A fabulous high end wagyu experience. The room was private and intimate, and the whole resturant had a cozy high class feel. The wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience perfect. The food was varied and delicious, with numerous different preparations all having a Japanese feel. They were very gracious in customizing to dietary restrictions. Overall an experience I will not forget.

Fantastic quality for both food and service. The wagyu quality is beyond description. My husband is allergic to seafood and the chef customized my husband’s meal and not in a lazy way. The restaurant really give thoughts to what to substitute the seafood for my husband. The server is very considerate and well knowledgeable. He was able to answered any question we have. The overall experience is amazing. We love all the dishes. Just great.
Very nice high end Japanese steakhouse. Prepare yourself for everything on the menu to be expensive but completely delicious melt in your mouth amasing. Service was great, food was great, lots of great sake as well. You can sit at the bar and get a limited menu if the restaurant is full and you'll still get a pretty epic meal.
Decent. I would get it again but I’ve had better BBQ. Mac & Cheese was peppery but good. Corn Fritters tasted like a hush puppy but with corn in it. Ribs were good. Chicken sandwich was my favorite. As for the pulled pork. Half of it was burnt fat and that was not good.

Super delicious new concept from the same owners as the popular Yakiniku Futago. This place offers a high end A5 wagyu tasting menu. The courses were all prepared in a way that let the ingredients shine. The whole meal was really well-paced and had the perfect amount of food. Looking forward to returning soon.

This place was bomb. We got the 3 meat combo and some sides, and every one hit.

The pulled pork and brisket especially, those were amazing even without the killer BBQ sauce. Also highly recommended the mac & cheese fritters.

Overall, just a great little fast casual place with chill staff. It's New York pricing so you're not getting a deal, but not out of the ordinary.
I went on a random wensday so it was quite empty but that wasn't a problem since I got to order so quickly. I loved the taste of everything and the big fat rib they sell was HELLA good. Nice flavor on everything. The only that was weird the brontosaurus rib was 45$ and the 3 meat platter was 20 even with 2 drinks tax I don't see how my bill came to around 95$. I asked the lady who took my order for a receipt not too long after my order and she said she couldn't find it. So she could've added more to my bill but she also probably didn't. Overall it's was a great experience. Go in the summer for more people to give thay pazzaz

Great food with stellar service! We ordered beef tongue and the 5-kind assorted meat with salt, and they taste extremely flavorful. The rice was also unexpectedly good with the bbq sauce. The waiter was super nice and helped us ask what kind of rice the restaurant uses.

10/10 would recommend if you're trying to find a place with great Japanese bbq and service!

Tasty roast pork over rice. Large portions and very inexpensive. Just as good or better than any other place in chinatown and much much easier on the wallet.
It was a cool experience seeing the City becoming a bit more vibrant. As the cut and place the meats right in front of you, you can see the freshness of their preparation of those respective foods. The broccoli salad was excellent but be mindful they added bacon to it. The ribs and the chicken wings were excellent as well. I would recommend this location if you are hanging out in Lower East Side as it is in the heart of the Village area. I enjoyed myself thoroughly!

The meat quality was great, compare to other bbq. But sometimes the staff couldn’t understand what I was trying to say, miscommunication sometimes. Over all , so far so good

The price is reasonable with good quality meat.
Wagu and Diamond cut galbi was really good.
Good for big groups.
But all side dishes weren’t so good especially Korean noodle soups and other Korean dishes. Plus desserts were disappointing. Servers weren’t polite.

Japanese barbecue restaurant run by Japanese - al la crate menu options available.

The food is pretty good - really loved the bibimbab. The set menus are slightly small so order more if you were planning to have that.

Service was great and was able to cater to our requests.

My husband and I weren’t overly impressed here. We’ve been to plenty of yakiniku places and this is probably closer to the bottom of the list. It was okay, but most of the meat we got ended up being quite chewy and hard to eat. The service was great. Good drink deals for beer and highballs. Ambiance was pretty good, I wish it wasn’t as dark as it was. They have a Japanese style table in the very back which is awesome. I got the matcha/taiyaki dessert which was honestly probably my favorite part of the meal. The matcha ice cream was really good and it’s hard to find taiyaki and it was pretty great as well. I was just underwhelmed here and probably wouldn’t end up going back.

Got to finally try this place out and it was really good! Great selection of meat and great service. We had a little variety of everything. From Waygu to some seafood options like shrimp, scallops and crab claws. The meats were really fresh and nicely portioned. We had some great service, they always came by to help us change out the grill and teach us a little a bit about the menu items. I say go with a nice group that can eat and enjoy some nice grilling !

The roast pig, pork, duck has been thus far delicious, however the bean skin with water duck they hard sell was just a major disappointment. I ended trashing the dish. Although, the sauce is very flavorful, the duck meat just tasted like a century old dried duck meat, which have been reboiled.
