    Came here during a World Cup game and the atmosphere was great. The Uni Bibimbap was the best thing we ordered and absolutely worth getting. We also enjoyed the tteokbokki, hwe muchim, chicken wings, and galbi jjim. Bonus points for the strong AC on a hot NYC summer day Would definitely come back for the uni bibimbap.

    Bing soo/Korean shaver ice
    Jennifer Y.

    I'm only hesitant to give this 5 stars just because I only came here for the seasonal shaved ice. This may be the best Korean shaved ice I've ever had. Mandarins, raspberries, blueberries, candied nuts, injeolmi (rice cake), red beans, ice cream and a wafer on top for decoration. Everything in ample portions - I think the $17 price is justified and can easily feed 2-3. The ambiance is clean, quiet and low key. But I understand it's a drinking establishment so might get rowdier on the weekends/in the evenings. Service was polite and amiable. I wish this was year round and not seasonal.

    Food was decent, hit the spot but was very pricey for what it's worth. Glad I tried it out but will definitely explore other options in the area next time.

    Chicken Wings and Fried Chili Shrimp
    Kassie E.

    Have been eyeing this place for a while and decided to come during happy hour! It wasn't very full when we arrived but between 6/7 the restaurant started getting busy! Happy hour was a great way to try multiple things for the first time especially with there only being two of us. I truly don't have complainants. Everything was tasty. The only thing I probably would order again are the wings. Everything else I loved. There's also so much more on the menu I'd like to try. Great restaurant for multiple occasions. The staff were friendly and the food came out fairly quickly!

    Be aware that there's two locations!! One is in union square is more casual/ quick bites. I made a reservation at the wrong location but thankfully they were able to accommodate my party of 5 on a weekday night Food was okay - I've definitely had better pancakes before and the bibimbap was lacking a bit of flavor. I really liked the soy garlic wings though. My friends rave about this place and come here often so maybe we went on a bad day? I don't know if i'd be willing to try it again

    We had a really great dinner at Barn Joo. We didn't even realize we came in close to closing time, but we never felt rushed, which immediately set a good tone. Meeting Janice was honestly the highlight of the night. She was wonderful and gave us amazing service throughout!! The restaurant was clean with a really nice, relaxed ambience. When it comes to food, the buckwheat cold noodles were my favorite. They were refreshing, full of flavor, and the sashimi was super fresh. We also ordered the fried tiger rolls, which were crunchy in all the right ways and tasted fresh. Overall a really enjoyable experience from start to finish.

    Bulgogi tacos
    Natalie T.

    I really thought this place was great and have no complaints! I love the tapas style options. We ordered: crunchy tofu (our fave, delish and the kimchi was so good), soft shell crab, fried pork dumplings, and bulgogi tacos. I think four tapas for two people is perfect. Ggreat service and refreshing soju cocktails.

    Chili Shrimp. Crunchy Tofu, and Wings
    Huiwen C.

    Great spot for happy hour with discounted prices on drinks and food! I recommend the wings, crunchy tofu, and chili shrimp. All items were tasty and easy to share. The mains are a lot smaller than the pictures show, but do taste delicious. Staff were friendly and we were allowed to stay quite a while for happy hour.

    Matcha Cocktail
    Chelsea D.

    Decided to come here before a concert with a friend, and left pretty satisfied! I've only ever had takeout from this place so was surprised that the service isn't as great as it should be. It took some time to get our order in and get napkins, but not a huge deal. We both got sizzling stone pots (I got the spicy pork, she got the mushroom one). Really great and was perfect for pre-concert fuel. We also got drinks. I tried their matcha cocktail and I wish I had a bigger glass of it! So tasty.

    Alex M.

    Overall: A // 5 stars Much smaller and calmer than the union square location, but they also offer an exciting wheel of fortune to spin for those who make a reservation -- in which we won some peach soju shots -- which set off the meal at a positive vibe. I love the diversity of the menu covering everything you could want to eat in Korean cuisine from healthful choices to comfort classics. (Uni Bibimbap: A) - Colorful bowl with plentiful amount of sea urchin at the $35 range. I love how they took a beautiful Korean dish and infused it with flavors from other cuisines, from the crunchy quinoa, to the colorful roe and greens and salad.

    Spicy fried dumplings
    Julia C.

    Excellent and high quality Korean food! The restaurant is small, I'd recommend a reservation. It's pretty loud inside, but we didn't mind it. We got the fried spicy dumplings, the bulgogi main, and the fried chicken baos. Everything was absolutely delicious, and very filling. The main is big enough to share, and I really enjoyed the variety of sides it came with. I also ordered the melon soju cocktail, it was so refreshing. I loved the ice cube on a stick it came with. Food came out very quickly, and service was great. If I'm ever in NY again, I'd return.

    Spicy Bulgogi, Corn Cheese, Popcorn Chicken, Army Stew
    Alana L.

    First time here and definitely not the last! The truffle fries (not pictured) were the table's favorite! We loved trying the soju flight because all of the drinks were so good! They're perfect to share with a group because likely everyone find a new favorite! The service was attentive and kind staff.

    Visit & Service We came here without a reservation after visiting the Empire State Building (in the area) and were looking for a dinner spot on a weeknight. When asked if we had a reservation, I said no and asked if one was necessary. The staff member who greeted us was really nice and said it wasn't a problem, taking us to a table immediately. It was such a breath of fresh air compared to service we'd experienced at other dining spots in the city. Food We had to order the wings and tried both flavors, they were both good. We also ordered a few other items. Funny enough, I had looked through Yelp photos beforehand to decide what to get and noticed my dish in the pictures came with three pieces of corn, which is my favorite. When my dish arrived, it only had one piece. I asked the server, and he explained that they used to serve three but now it's just one. He kindly brought a few extra pieces on the side since we were three people. (They charged us for them, which was fair.) Overall Experience Overall, it's a cute spot with friendly staff, which is refreshing in a city not exactly known for warm service. You might want to make a reservation just to be safe, but even without one, the experience was enjoyable.

    Yes it is loud and bustling downstairs but it was hopping. Staff was extremely accommodating on my visit and I did not feel rushed at all. Keep in mind that I was a single diner and your experience may vary. I don't know about happy hour on Sundays.

    What time is their happy hour? The BarnJoo website says 5-7PM but their BarnJoo 35 website says 3-6PM.

    Checked the website and was wondering, is there someone to email/contact about a dinner reservation for a large group?

    Yes, you need to email event@barnjoo35.com for parties of 8+. I emailed this account and they got back to me within the hour.

    How to make a reservation? I tried to call in yesterday and they told me to email you and I did, but no reply until now.

    It's a walk in place. We got there 1230ish and found a table easily. Mayve been lucky.

Starting with the brussel sprout starter, which was crispy, bright and delicious. we then ordered tteokbokki, described as a rice cake, but much more like little bowl delicious rice gnocchi with a creamy chase sauce. We followed with jjambong gambas, a creative and tasty shrimp dish, and the seafood ramen, very spicy and a real treat. If you get a chance, do not miss out on this sweet spot. Incredible food, astounding and attentive service, and all in a magical cozy dining room.

My food finally came and she went back to talking to him and he went back to prepping for the evening I suppose, cutting up fruit (that she started to eat by the way as he was prepping. ) The level of unprofessional behavior blew my mind as he never checked on me. I requested hot sauce and as my glass sat there empty ,eventually had to ask for a glass of water disturbing their conversation once again. It's really a shame as the food was pretty good, (particularly the chicken which I added to my salad) but can never make up for the poor service exhibited today. I have no idea who the young lady is hanging out at the bar engaging with the Bartender maybe the owner's daughter, but I have no clue what role she's performing other than distracting him from doing his job.

I ordered two tapas: Croquetas de Jamon Serrano (Ham Croquettes) and the Albondigas (Meatballs). The croquettes were nicely presented, I enjoyed the sauces that adorned each croquette, they had a slightly crunchy outer layer, and the serving was four. The meatballs were amazing. Each ball was flavorful, the serving was EIGHT!, and the accompanying sauce was succulent and was enough to fill every piece of bread. For dessert, I had the EZ Flan.

BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way).

DO NOT GET the queso - it's literally a couple thin slices of cheese, a tiny bowl of almonds, and some tomato mixture. You can add bread for like $7 on top of the original $16 price - actually ridiculous for what you get. The roasted duck breast was flavorful and tender, and the bavette steak was even better.
