A lil expensive overall because you want it to be a bunch of shareable dishes but really tasty, freshly made, served hot foods. The bulgogi fries I recommend along with the cream popcorn chicken --that's a definite one. My favs! We had medium service. They were attentive in many ways. A little hard to hear how quiet our server was. Also took 10 min to get the check after requested. read more

There are so many Korean restaurants in NYC's Koreatown and sometimes it's hard to choose which to go. I learned of Anytime Kitchen on social media so I figured I'll try them out. Good thing we did but we were thoroughly impressed. The portions were generous and each dish had its unique, bold, and rich flavors. An absolute delight! The overall vibe was super cool and chill. A great place for a date or a casual hang out spot with your friends and family. read more

Great Korean comfort food with a no-frills vibe. Highlights were the beef soup, spicy chicken rice cake (mild), and free bulgogi fries. Cozy upstairs space--might be tricky for accessibility. Would definitely return. read more

On the very busy 23 W 32nd street, Anytime Kitchen is on the 3rd floor and Anytime Karaoke is on the 4th floor. When you enter the building, you walk up the stairs. The door for Anytime Kitchen kinda camouflages with the wall so it can be missed. My friends and I came here on a Friday evening around 5:30pm and we were seated right away. It got crowded soon after. Happy hour is not available on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays. We ordered the popcorn tofu, truffle fries, chicken and veggie gyoza, tonkatsu (pork belly), and assorted Korean pancakes stew. The popcorn tofu has sweet and spicy glaze over the deep fried tofu and it was very good. The sauce was tangy and the tofu was fried perfectly. The truffle fries was maybe my favorite dish. It was so crispy. The 4 pieces of chicken and veggie gyoza with soy sauce had good filling and fried well. The smoked pork belly had good sauce and I enjoyed the shaved cabbage. The assorted Korean pancakes stew was kept hot on a burner and had a mix of seafood. It was very good. All the food was great for sharing. We had limited space on our tables so we needed to combine some leftovers. My friends and I had a wonderful time at Anytime Kitchen. I'm glad we arrived when we did. There is a cash discount if you pay in cash. Service was absolutely wonderful and friendly. They were very attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

Great place for drinks and opens super late! They have frozen makgeolli and it tasted super delicious 5/5!! Fries were great quality but nothing crazy 3.5/5 Budae jigae was better than regular! 4/5 Servers were very friendly as well and didn't feel any rush too relax and have a drink with friends longer. Cute soju explanation art on wall inside lol read more

First off, I made a mistake because the ambiance and the vibes for this place is definitely for friends who want to get some drinks and talk. With that being said, I went with my family and we ate family style! My family has all sorts of allergens and food preferences, so it was pretty tough to get food for everyone, but we made it work! We got an abundance of food and honestly they were all pretty good. I think the only thing bad about it was the price. The service was pretty good but could be better. The ambiance was unfair for us to judge because we just didn't know any better. We were also a party of 5 so they charged gratuity and expected tips as well. I still rate it a 5/5 regardless. read more

The food at Anytime was great! We went right when they opened and wow, we were lucky because we're the last ones let in before they started letting others. They also take reservations so you can also book in advance. We started with the chicken and veggie gyoza which was pretty delicious. One thing though I noticed after eating there and looking at their menu, they have a happy hour special for 1+1 which we should have gotten with the gyoza, but our waiter didn't tell us about it. Additionally, we had the sweet and spicy chicken (cheese buldak). Food was good, but I think they could have given more quantity for this dish for the price. The kimchi sauce okonomiyaki was interesting - it was a true fushion dish of kind of like Jeon, but didn't have the thickness of Jeon. I think one thing they could do to improve this dish is cut it into pieces so that it is easier for those dining to eat and share with each other. The blue crab fish cake hotpot was absolutely worth it and delicious! They gave us free white rice on the side for happy hour which was great. read more

Food was amazing! We all tried each other's dishes and I loved everything I tried. I think everyone did... We were able to get things for the kids too. This is their first time trying Korean food so they weren't all in yet, but it was a good first experience and they had plenty to eat after tasting all the dishes and eating their rice. The atmosphere was fun and loud. I wouldn't say it was specifically family friendly, but they were certainly nice to our kids. Service was prompt and polite. read more

Anytime Kitchen - Kimchi jjigae - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Went for a quick team lunch and it was enjoyable. You order at the counter and they bring it to you to your table in takeaway boxes. I got a half and half cupbop - fried shrimp and chicken katsu. A little heavy on the mayo (would've been nice to not have it mixed in) and everything was more crispy fried than I'd expect it to be, but tasty overall. Weird that there was a giant trash bin right in the middle of the restaurant - I guess it was for ease of everyone throwing out their boxes as they're done and leaving? Yeah, not very hospitable. read more

Okay future Rae - you ate here on a Tuesday and made reservations even though it wasn't necessary on the weekday. Yes it's trendy and nicely placed on the second floor but I mean - the prices and food were not matched. We ordered the spicy kimchi stew, pork belly (bossam), seaweed rice rolls, shishito peppers, and a side of kimchi. I was kinda shocked that their banchan (just the kimchi) was a chargeable item. Maybe I was expecting a different vibe. I felt like the food itself was okay - a little expensive for what it was and I still felt hungry after we left. The service and atmosphere was fun and cool but for the food? I think I'd check somewhere else for future outings! read more

Love Anytime Kitchen! Secret location up the stairs with a cool speakeasy atmosphere. Anju was great, our soju selection was good and all that we tried, starting with the tteokbokki and all the way to the ramyun and the popcorn chicken was delicious. Quick service during busy times. Entertainment spot, as well as group or party. read more

This place was cool. It's located in Koreatown in New York City. We made reservations for 6 o'clock and it was a little empty but 30 minutes after the place was crowded. The service was great.

Anytime Kitchen is great and deserves all the praise it gets. They offer a great pick 2 get 1 free option and do not skimp on the portions.

The service was also attentive without being overbearing. All in all, I would be back. read more

4 stars for the food. 1 star for the service. Casual place on the 3rd floor in Ktown. We came on an early Friday night when it wasn't very busy. We started off with a bottle of peach makgeolli and this is where it all went wrong. 20 minutes after ordering when our food was arriving, our drink hadn't arrived yet and we had to ask for it. Someone went to get it and gave it to the table next to us instead of us. We finally got it and it wasn't cold. We asked for a cold one and the waitress just disappeared with it. We started eating and were about halfway through our meal, and our drink still wasn't back. The waitress said they were making it cold and went to get it for us. We weren't sure how they were going to make it cold in 10 minutes... and no surprise it didn't get cold in 10 minutes. So we asked for some ice, and we got pushback because she said the drink was cold! We basically had to demand for ice, and we're finally able to get it. Very frustrating when all we wanted was a cold drink to go with our food. On the other hand, the food was great, the octopus and pork belly stir fry was nicely seasoned and the Kimchi jigae broth was flavorful. The fried pork Kalbi was a bit bready and just seemed to be some edges of meat that were battered to cover what was actually under it. It was free because of the 2 for 1 promotion they have going on now, but I'm not sure I would get it for $28. read more

They have a fun deal here where if you get 2 entrees, you get a side dish for free! We got the royal soup, spicy pork, and bulgogi fries. We would skip the fries next time.

We love Anytime Kitchen! The location feels like an (open) secret, which starts your meal with the same sort of illicit vibe that you get when you go into a modern speakeasy. The restaurant is three floors up from the street, and you get in by climbing a narrow staircase that begins past the endless line for Wonjo. You have a reservation upstairs, so no waiting in that nonsense. Once you get inside, you're in a super fun Korean Anju spot. Order some Soju and scan for the menu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Over several visits, we tried the Truffle Jjajang Ramyun Noodles, the Super Creamy Tteokbokki, Bulgogi Fries, Popcorn Chicken, and a Pork Shoulder BBQ which were all fantastic. The Kimchi Okonomiyaki was delicious, the Kimchi Cream Ramyun Noodles were creamy and a little spicy and then more Soju! Service has been quite good, considering how busy Anytime Kitchen is. It didn't seem to matter if we were at a two top or at one of the bigger group tables in the back of the room, the food came out quickly and we never felt rushed. I could see this place also being great for a private party. read more

One of my favorite late night spots in K-town to sway away from the crowd. Located on the second floor, the restaurant is dimly lit with neon lights and humorous wall decor. The menu is quite vast ranging from small bites/appetizers, entrees, to bigger plates perfect for sharing among friends! My server was very understanding and patient as I was being really indecisive on what to order... Bonus points for solo dining too!!! Tuna bite (10/10) MUST GET. One of the most memorable dishes I've had this year. The tartare was sweet and citrusy with bits of apple and topped with this cream. A burst of textures and flavors to say the least. Corn cheese (9/10) you can never go wrong with this dish but what stood out was the truffle oil and made it so addicting Lychee cocktail (10/10) all their cocktails are delicious and easy to drink; very fruity and sweet almost cant take the alcohol but dw it creeps on you later in the night hehe read more

First off, the host (Jerry) and the waitress (Jasmine) are super sweet and provide the best service! Anytime is a wonderful spot for drinks and Korean fusion food. I got to try so many different dishes here and everything was of high quality, unique, and yummy. I loved the ramyum and tteokbokki which were both not too spicy and had lots of flavor from the soup. The sweet and spicy chicken was so tender and juicy. The steamed egg was also really cool to cook. They bring over the raw egg and you pour it into a boiling broth after 6 minutes! It also tasted amazing. The japchae noodles were also thicker than most other places, but I actually loved that. It had great texture and lots of veggies. Don't sleep on the desserts. The ice cream was superb! It was very creamy and topped with fried wheat snacks. As for the drinks, all 3 of their slushies are fruity and sweet. You can't taste the alcohol in it much, but I personally like that. It hits you later on; so guaranteed there is alcohol in it! The cocktails also come in cute packaging and there is a great variety of flavors! read more

Their cupbops are great for on the go workers nearby! I saw their sign while walking in Koreatown and decided to come here to grab some lunch. The sign is a bit misleading as it only says "8.99" and then displays their various cupbop options but each dish is actually a different price. I think they could benefit from adding the words "starting from" to 8.99 so that customers have a better sense of what to expect to pay. I got the combo where you pick your cupbop and for an additional $5.50 you get a small cup of Budae Jigae which is a soup. It was great but my only wish was that it had some protein on it. Next time I will try the other options as well! read more

Anytime Kitchen - Jjajang cupbop + mini budae Jigae - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

It's in a K-town, 3rd floor of a building. You have to climb up 3 floors before you get there. It's worth a little exercise. They have a small menu for lunch, but I don't know if dinner time they have a large menu. I tried a combo dish with 2 different proteins (beep and fried pork (Katu) on the rice and another dish with shrimp tempura on the rice. They are delicious and perfect portions. The price was also decent. Not too expensive. I recommend that anyone check this place out if they are in Korean Town. I will return. The service was great, too. It was not too busy, so we got a table by the window without waiting on Saturday afternoon; we arrived around 11:45 am. read more

Anytime Kitchen is a great little place on 32nd Street to grab a casual dinner with friends. The food was super yummy, and the restaurant also has karaoke. I personally didn't go, but I will definitely be back to try. The dishes we got were absolutely phenomenal -- we got the Cheese spicy chicken tteokbokki, brisket doenjang jeongol, anytime su-yook, sweet and spicy chicken BBQ, and stir-fried squid and thin sliced pork belly, and we got the corn cheese and fried baby octopus for free! They have a great deal for food (buy 2 get 1 free) and I believe they have a buy 3 get 1 free deal for drinks as well. We got the honeydew matcha makgeolli slushy and it was DIVINE. The service was also phenomenal -- the staff would bring out the dishes and carefully arrange them, and everything tasted fresh and soo yummy! I loved the vibes inside the restaurant and think it would a great place to catch up with a good-sized group of friends over some yummy food. read more

First things first, if you can't find this place, go inside the building marked with the "Wonjo" marquee; it's up two flights of stairs on the third floor. Though it seems like you should probably get a reservation, we walked in at 9pm on a Friday and got seated immediately. Service is fine; they were attentive and while not overly friendly, refilled our water and got our food to us quickly. Quite frankly, I was a little disappointed with this place for how many positive reviews/ratings it has. It's not that it's bad, but rather, the food doesn't have much flavor. The popcorn chicken tasted like watered down honey garlic chicken bites from Popeyes. The Kimchi Cream Ramyun's cream sauce essentially overpowered the entire dish, including the kimchi (which eaten by itself didn't have any umami or sweet/spicy tones to it). It tasted almost like just poured Alfredo sauce over buldak noodles. The truffle jjajang ramyun (black bean sauce) was okay, but I couldn't taste the truffle. Everything just seemed muted or diluted in taste, and I personally felt like I could just cook most things on the menu at home better and for a third of the price. I think I'd have given it 4 stars if it weren't for the fact that this restaurant's on the pricier side. Cheapest menu items go for about $16-18, while the more expensive dishes, such as hot pot soups, go for $25-40. I'd want to visit for lunch, when the dishes are half price, since the food is likely at least more palatable for your wallet rather than for your stomach. Otherwise, if you're looking for affordable and delectable vittles, this place has neither. read more

This is a solid spot for lunch that won't break the bank. Came here with friends and we sat ourselves at a table. I got the bulgogi rice bowl and army stew combo. The army stew had tofu, smoked sausage and ham(?). It was also very spicy so I couldn't really drink the soup. The bulgogi rice bowl really needed the spicy mayo on top as the bulgogi was a bit on the dry side. It's kind of self service except if you're ordering one of their soups that require the portable gas stove. You place your order by the cashier and then wait for your order # to be called. Then you just take your food to any free table. read more

Food (4/5): We ordered the Truffle Jjajang Ramyun and kimchi jiggae. Both dishes were quite good although the Truffle Jjajang Ramyun lacked the truffle taste and was more like regular Ramyun. The dishes are on the smaller side but are still quite good. Service (4/5): We came late at around 930 so it was not so busy. The servers sat us quickly, took our order relatively smooth, and food came out fast. No issues with the service except our friend added an order which took longer than expected but came out faster when he asked. Ambiance (5/5): Cozy place with nice lighting effects. They dimmed the lights and brought out a birthday cake for another party which was cool. There are two gender neutral bathrooms. read more

The environment is very good, the decoration is Japanese style, and the location is spacious. The main dish is hot pot, the portion is very large, four people eat two pots and need to take away, the price-performance ratio is good. At dinner time, many Koreans ordered a pot per table and drank, which was a little noisy. The beef pot soup base feels a bit like Sukiyaki pot. I don't know why it's a bit bitter at the first bite, but it will become sweeter as it cooks, but it's not bad with beef slices and vegetables. Octopus and pig viscera pot, a very Korean combination, the octopus is served alive, and the waiter helps to cut it, which is quite fun. The spicy soup base smells very fragrant and becomes spicier as it cooks. The seafood pancake base is a bit thick, and the green pepper is a big thunder. read more

One of my favorite pochas and karaoke spots tucked into the heart of NYC Koreatown -- the energy here is fun and it's great for groups. You have to follow the signs to go upstairs, and they have karaoke rooms one floor further up. It gets busy, so snag a reservation in advance. They have plenty of vegetarian and pescatarian options too. I recommend getting food to share and (of course) bottles of soju -- personal favorites are the Creamy Ttebokki, Corn Cheese and Truffle Fries. read more

This place is located in ktown. I came after work and they weren't too busy so we got seated pretty quickly. The staff was efficient and nice. This seemed like a fun and casual place to hang out after work.

The pork belly was cooked perfectly with a crispy sear but was still juicy and tender. The corn cheese was a classic appetizer that you can't go wrong with.

We went to Anytime kitchen the first night in New York! Thanks for all the yelpers helping me find this place for late night snacks. We ordered their popcorn chicken with Korean soy garlic sauce, this is a bomb! You need to try them. It also comes with the mochi balls! Love the favor! Also tried their corn cheese. You can't go wrong with corn cheese for snack! And their drink - Maksa! It's a rice wine with spite. I tried the peach favor. Wow I think this becomes my favorite drink other than Soju. They also have many other drinks on the menu, particularly Soju! Many favors! Love love love! I really like this place as it's very welcoming, relax and chill. You know what it means after a long flight to New York and used their subway system. :P The staff are friendly and helpful. Place is clean and good atmosphere for hanging out! Oh reasonable price too! This place also opened late! And it's located on the 3rd floor so make sure you follow the sign and just open the door! It's right there (without the sign!) read more

Came here on a Sunday around noon and the restaurant was pretty empty with a lot of available seats! They were serving their lunch special menu which is from 11am - 3pm. The lunch special has a variety of different "cupbop" which is basically a rice bowl with different toppings! I ordered the fried shrimp cupbop which was around $12. For the lunch specials you order up at the counter and pay first and then take a seat while you wait for your food. For the fried shrimp cupbop the shrimp tasted strongly of coconut so if you're not a fan of coconut I would say to order another option. I was a bit surprised as the menu item did not specify that it was coconut shrimp. The serving size is a bit on the smaller size but because I wasn't too hungry I felt it was enough for me. The drink options were slightly limited for lunch as we were told there was only canned soda or water. Overall, a good quick option if you're looking for a casual meal. read more

All around good spot, came here on a weekday night at 6:30pm with a group of 6. I'd made reservations via Yelp but the restaurant said they didn't have them on record (3rd time this has happened @Yelp!) however there was room so we were seated right away. Food was tasty! We arrived in time for happy hour for their buy 2 get 1 specials. The grilled mayo mackerel was a tasty starter, it's a small but entire fish so you'll need a little chopsticks magic to share, the truffle fries were on point for texture--crisp on the outside though frankly I didn't taste much truffle in the two orders we got, though the white (ranch?) sauce was creamy and paired well. The popcorn tofu was a surprise, slightly less crisp of an exterior compared to the popcorn chicken but similar outer shell, kinda that sweet/sour/salty korean fried chicken kinda glaze, with tender tofu chunks inside. The popcorn chicken was also indulgent in a similar manner, served with small pieces of rice cake in the same sauce--def not health food though pretty yum! The budae Jungol was a standout, and at $32.99 was a good value. This came with dumplings, fish cake, ramen, egg, rice cake, pieces of hotdog and green veggies. Served over a flame this bubbling concoction was terrific to share amongst our group. My friends got a few drinks and enjoyed. This place doesn't really stand out in terms of decor except to give a dim, trendy vibe, and as another reviewer mentioned there are some "shady stairs" leading up to this restaurant--they are certainly narrow and old, and not the cleanest carpet I've seen, though that's more on the building maintenance than this particular restaurant. Funny thing is they've posted paper flyers in the stairwell that warn not to give $ to anyone asking for a cover charge to go up the stairs to the restaurant. read more

*FOOD QUALITY* Overall: If you are coming for their happy hour, the 5 stars is misleading in terms of food value. For the two dishes my party got, it amounted to $50 and the portions were small, with the quality being decent. This spot is a casual place to chat and hangout, but would not return due to value of dishes. However, the menu is fun in incorporating a fusion twist on korean flavors on other cultural dishes. -- Fried Brussel Sprouts (3/5): The idea of this dish reminds me of the concept of veggie wings/fried cauliflower. The gochujang sauce and other seasonings as well as the fried brussel sprouts gave a flavorful bite. It was decent but lacked a balance that made it unmotivating to finish the entire dish. -- Pork Belly Katsu (4/5): The katsu provided was quite small, sized to approximately the length of the palm of my hand. The coleslaw on the side was also less than I expected. Flavors and textures however were fantastic. This joint's interpretation of katsu is loose with the pork belly providing fatty goodness and the exterior a deep-fried crusted panko. I appreciated the delicate infusion of wasabi, almost a slight whisper, into the coleslaw as well! *CUSTOMER SERVICE* Really great and timely - they consistently checked in to make sure we were doing well! *AMBIANCE* This spot is "hidden" in that it's on the third floor! Find Wonjo restaurant and enter that but walk up the stairs immediately to your right - it is located on the third floor and that's where you enter! The design was dark but spacious which allowed for conversation without having to yell over the table. I enjoyed the airiness that came from the height of the ceiling and the way tables and chairs allowed for a dining experience, even during happy hour. read more

Food - 5 Service - 5 Ambiance -5 I am not a huge Korean food fan, which I know is strange given my ethnicity, but this place is definitely worth a visit, better than just about any other korean restaurant I've been to. This is located in NYC's koreatown, not easy to spot from the street, and you need to walk up a big staircase to get to the 3rd floor, the restaurant is tucked inside a building. It's got a very cute, hip but cozy ambiance, and service is fast and efficient. We got several dishes to share: Kimchi Okonomiyaki, Cucumber salad, Popcorn Chicken, Creamy Tteokbokki, Gochujang pork belly. Everything was amazing, it was a perfect amount for four people. Reasonably priced. Good selection of food, again I would definitely go again when I am back in NYC/Koreatown. read more
