General

Hanki

I have been regularly coming for lunch since they opened. They offer a great variety of Korean and Japanese snacks and drinks. Their Korean lunch foods are relatively affordable, especially for this area. You can easily have a satisfying lunch for under $15. The store itself is kept clean and the staff are all very friendly.

Urbanspace Pearl

This public space is a pleasant oasis with a variety of stalls offering Mexican, burgers, acai bowls, vegetarian options, baked goods, and three Asian-inspired stalls (ramen, Asian-inspired "coneys," and Korean BBQ - KBOB). There is also a bar and a few other stalls (I personally recommend the ramen place).

Gansevoort Liberty Market

The sushi and Korean dishes are delicious, but the tacos are mediocre and the pasta needs improvement. The service is lacking, with long lines and malfunctioning payment machines. I used to enjoy getting sushi here, but the constant long lines and broken payment machines have become frustrating. Last time, I waited in one line for 10 minutes only to be directed to another line where payment processing took an additional 3 minutes. The cashier then informed me that my card was declined, yet I later discovered that the amount was still charged to my card. It is disappointing that a business does not have functional payment machines. Now I have to deal with my bank to remove the charge for a meal I couldn't even pay for. I wasted half of my lunch at this establishment and will not be returning.

Poke Bowl

I tried two of their preset bowls and I really enjoyed them! I had the Chicken Katsu and the Korean BBQ Pork, which were both delicious. The sriracha aioli on the BBQ pork was a bit overpowering, so next time I'll ask for it to be lightly added. Overall, great combinations and I would definitely recommend trying them. 👑😋👑

Momofuku Ssam Bar

The food and service were both great. The Korean BBQ on the second floor provided an amazing dining experience. While I didn't try the options on the first floor, they looked good. Every item I ordered was perfectly cooked. The staff was welcoming and attentive, providing great suggestions for my meal.

Gunbae

This cozy Korean restaurant is a nice place to dine. The waitstaff is polite and friendly. Each table has its own grilling station. The average cost per person is between 35 to 45 if you choose to grill, and 20 - 30 if you opt for other à la carte options. Drinks and appetizers are not included in these prices.

The Original Buddha Bodai Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant 佛菩提

The tofu Thai basil, vegetarian chicken, portobello mushroom in black bean sauce, BBQ veg meat steamed rice roll, veggie spring roll, and steamed veggie dumplings were all delicious and filling. The lunch special is a great deal at only $7.50 on weekdays. The restaurant has limited seating.

Tada

We stumbled upon this restaurant and, being a fan of Korean cuisine, we decided to give it a try. We ordered three different types of chicken (ginger, garlic, and sweet/spicy sauce) as well as an eel bibimbap. The food was absolutely delicious. The eel was served in a sizzling hot stone bowl, and the chicken was incredibly juicy. I would highly recommend this place!

Great NY Noodletown

I was thrilled to try this restaurant since we are from Canada, and we were not let down. We ordered the wonton noodles and BBQ pork, and it was fantastic. The BBQ pork was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. The wonton noodles were also great - the wontons were large, the noodles were tender, and the broth was clear and tasty. We will definitely be returning. It is a must-try.

Golden Diner

The food at this place is absolutely fantastic! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is great. They have a lovely blend of Korean and American flavors in their dishes. I highly recommend trying it out. And definitely don't miss out on their KFC, it's a must-try!

Sweet Moment

Great spot for a refreshing break from exploring the city. Enjoyed a delicious coffee and a tasty bulgogi sandwich. Highly recommend for a quick pit stop!

Round K by Sol

This Korean-inspired brunch spot in the Lower East Side may appear small at first, but don't be fooled. It has a back room and a charming garden tucked away at the very back. The ambiance is cozy and adorable.

Tofu Tofu

Best soon tofu in NYC. The food is incredibly delicious and the waitress is very friendly. The kimchi is the best I've ever had.

LaoJie Hotpot Manhattan | 老街火锅 | 曼哈顿火锅

This AYCE hotpot and BBQ combo place in Chinatown is a great option, but be aware they only accept cash. The price is a bit high, but the broth is flavorful and appropriately spicy. Fresh produce is abundant, and the sauce bar has all the necessary ingredients. Skewers are deep-fried but delicious. The service is fast and accurate even at shared tables.

Sobak

The Korean meal I had was the best I've ever had. The mushrooms had an incredible amount of flavor that surpassed anything I've tasted before. The person working behind the counter was extremely kind and genuine, which greatly impressed me.

Hometown Hotpot & BBQ

I absolutely love this place. It's our go-to spot for birthdays or any special occasions. The portions of meat for the Korean BBQ are always generous, and they have a fantastic sauce bar where you can create your own sauce. Plus, the restroom is always impeccably clean.

YUBU SoHo

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent presentation and the delicious food. While it wasn't overly flavorful, it was still good. I would definitely consider ordering again whenever I'm in the mood for authentic Korean cuisine.

99 Favor Taste

This Korean BBQ and Hotpot restaurant provides affordable all-you-can-eat options in the city. The food is consistently good, but make sure to try the underrated imitation crab. Lunch is priced at $30 per person, earning it 4 out of 5 stars as a lunch spot.

LuAnne's Wild Ginger

I tried the kimchi fried rice and my son had the bibimbap. As someone who usually eats meat, I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the food tasted. The seitan in the bibimbap had a great texture and the fried rice had a wonderful mix of flavors and textures. I will definitely be returning!
