Came to Gan Hoo for dinner as I love their meat options. First coming here, I was immediately impressed as the restaurant did not have a strong bbq smoke smell, thank god my hair and clothes will not be smelly. Then we were seated in our booth, which was so comfy! Obviously we ordered the meat stair case, extremely impressive meat selection! This came with shrimps, pork and of course many different options of beef, including wagyu! We had the leisure of cooking our meats throughout our meal. We also ordered the tofu stew and a few other menu beef options such as the marinated beef short ribs. Which was our fav ! Next time highly recommend to get the menu beef bbq dishes rather than the meat staircase. And if you write a review they give you free plum drink. Additionally to get you to keep coming back, they let you buy a $20 coupon for next time use for $2. Pretty good deal! Guess now I have to return again! read more

The banchan is lacking here! A big part of Korean BBQ is the banchan. I wish I had some kimchi or marinated fish cakes. We ordered the meat staircase. Good variety and tasty. Wagyu fried rice was bland. I wouldn't recommend. Service was good read more

Went on a Saturday night around 9:30 pm and believe it or not people were still coming in after we sat down. Joint agreement to come to this place not knowing that it is a Michelin star rated restaurant and has been for the past couple of years right in the hear of Flushing. I apologize that is was a while ago and I honest forgot what I had to eat but I can say that I would definitely go back. Earlier review started and forgot to come back and finish. read more

Had such a fun time at this Japanese BBQ spot in Flushing! The space is really spacious with a beautiful Japanese-inspired vibe that makes it feel special as soon as you walk in. The service was very attentive and helpful throughout the meal. I loved the huge selection of meats. cooking everything yourself at the table makes it such a cool, interactive experience. The fried rice was absolutely delicious and a must-order. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and a really fun night out. I would definitely come back! read more

This was my second time at this place and honestly it's pretty good. My friends and I got the lovers set because it had the most variety of different meats and every single meat hit the spot. You cook your own barbecue here which is also nice since you can cook it to your liking. The corn cheese was great with the corn being very sweet. The other two dishes I didn't really enjoy as much. I felt like the soondubu was pretty bland and the cheese corn beef was not really for me either. There is a lot of seating so it was a great place to chat and catch up with my friends without worrying about having to leave quickly. The service was also very good, they were pretty busy but were attentive when they could be helping us grab a couple of extra items that we needed. Defining a good place to check out for barbecue and still a place that I would revisit. read more

Not a great experience we had here. We came here for dinner with a party of four to celebrate a birthday. We were clearly there first and they sat another party that came after us and gave us an excuse saying they were outside. Ok fine since the it was only another 10 minutes wait for the next table. Our server was so absentminded. He got our order wrong and he left off part of our order. He didn't refill our water once and only picked up some empty dishes here and there. We told him we had a cake and he had a hard time finding it. He didn't even clean up our table so we can have the cake. He gave it to us still in the box and we had to set everything up ourselves. He only lit the candle and gave us a butter knife. Meanwhile the other said of the restaurant also had someone celebrating their birthday had the whole crew come out with the cake lit and they sang the song. So we were very disappointed and not satisfied with the service at all. For the food it was also mediocre. We had the meat lover staircase. The quality of the meat degrades as you go down the stairs. Only the first and second meat at the top was good. The premium brisket was very tough and not good at all. The fried rice tasted like white rice. Seafood pancake was okay. read more

Anyone coming into Flushing Queens for dining, rule of thumb is to always expect 15 minutes of added commute whether you're just walking down the street for 2 blocks. When in Flushing, try out the Korean bbq because of all the 5 boroughs, this is where to get quality kbbq at a good deal. Rainy day, did not want to endure an extra off Downtown Flushing walk for a quality sized kbbq restaurant that's AYCE. Gan Hoo BBQ popped up on my recommended list. Usually I'm on the fence for anything in the Downtown Flushing area because it's quick service and the food quality can be meh. This place took me by surprise and they exceeded my expectations in terms of all I look for in a kbbq spot. The selections of meats available for AYCE were phenomenal. I got the set meal this visit with 5 choices of beef and pork: galbi, Wagyu (yes you heard correctly), samgyeosal, kote beef, skirt steak, along with a basket of lettuce, bancham sides, and rice sides. Around $40 per person. Even with the AYCE option, it's around this price where you pick which types of meat if neither beef, pork, or seafood sways you. The meat quality was great where it was nicely marbled, flavor was rich in the cuts, and not marinated in shortcut manner where you would just over salt and dab with turnaround seasonings. The table next to us got a meat cut shaped cake with a candle sticking out which I thought was cool too. Anyone who isn't a mega sweet tooth but loves their proteins. Winning points was easy walk from the 7 train station, quality meats, good for easing in your wallet, and the decor inside was very traditional and minimalist. You will be responsible for cooking your bbq for those shy of grill responsibility. But all my good points above are worth it if you're looking for easy and quality kbbq. For drivers, this will be a tight place to travel to as parking in Downtown Flushing is always a challenge. read more

We were looking for a fun family Korean bbq experience in flushing and this was a direct hit. A good time was had by all as we cooked up meat and shrimp on the bbq and added our own mix of salt, pepper and bbq seasoning. The staff is super attentive, constantly changing out the bbq and refilling water. Bigger napkins would be nice, but everything is good here and it is very lively. read more

Came for AYCE lunch (on a weekend, which is great), and Gan-Hoo was very solid! It was pretty empty on a Saturday. I made a reservation online but would have been able to be seated immediately. The restaurant is nicely decorated, very large, and clean. The grills were more upscale than traditional AYCE spots. They had an array of choices for AYCE from all different cultures. As for dishes that were already made, there was cucumber salad, bibimbap, and Caesar salad, which was a fun variety. They had Coke & Sprite as their AYCE drinks as well. Meat quality was alright-- some cuts were harder than others but not too bad overall. My favorites were the flat iron and the bacon wrapped enoki. I'd come back! read more

Came back and finally got the AYCE lunch time at 40$. Does not dissappoint, all the same quality and now you can get AYCE. got almost everything on the menu, the garlic shrimp and ribs were the best. Service is fast and friendly as always. I always come here when I'm in flushing. read more

The space is ginormous. We didn't have to wait for a table late Friday afternoon. We only ordered under the AYCE sections of the menu. A lot of the meat was either very fatty or tough but good flavor. A few of the side dishes are Chinese style like the spicy cucumber salad. It was tasty and spicy but not what I was expecting and prefer more korean/Japanese flavors with bbq. I normally am not a fan of fusion style so this won't be repeat visit for me. read more

Overall: Came here multiple times in the past. This is probably my favorite Korean BBQ spot in Flushing. The place is clean and there is a good variety of meat cuts and veggie options. Only con is that it can get pricey if you eat a lot like me but there is a more restricted menu for AYCE at $40 for adults. I came here in a party of 4. The only reason I did not go for the AYCE option was that AYCE didn't let me redeem a coupon for $20 off after paying $2 coming here a previous time. Everyone enjoyed the experience and left full/satisfied. Food: The food was delicious. Everything was fresh. Lettuce for wraps were clean and very vibrant appearing. There's no traditional sauce station but they provided everyone with premade sauces and spices at eat table. Did not go for anything fancy, just the standard meat lover staircase with assorted cuts of beef, pork, and shrimp. This is probably enough to satisfy 2-3 people, but I recommend getting other items along with this. The meat staircase comes with unlimited pickled veggie side dishes, including Szechuan pickled cabbage which I thought was really good especially after grilled (helped me get my money's worth). I am a KBBQ button mushroom lover (grill by putting mushroom belly up, like a bowl, and watch as the mushroom juices pool; it's ready to eat once it starts to bubble and make sure to drink the juices)! The meat staircase comes with a few mushrooms and I always order more but they are pretty pricey. Also got a bowl of cold noodles (I was not a fan but the GF liked it) and chicken feet tteokbokki (this was good 5/5). One friend had her birthday the day before so they gave us extra sliced beef on the house (see picture). Service: No complaints here. During lunch was pretty busy and we were able to get our food within a reasonable time. Waiter was proactive in changing the grill. Ambiance: Busy but no table or music was overly loud. read more

Highly recommend!! This place was packed even on a Wednesday so I would recommend going early or making a res. The area was very spacious and welcoming. The food was delicious! What surprised me was that it wasn't just the meat that was fresh, the cooked dishes were also delicious. Both soups were extremely flavorful and priced so reasonably. We ended up ordering another bowl because it was so yummy. The cheesy corn was also hot and tasty. They give you free ice cream at the end, as well. The only thing I didn't quite like is that the servers stood by the tables the whole time. While it's nice that we were constantly being attended to, it did feel awkward having a man stand and watch us eat the entire meal... read more

This place is pretty fancy. The interior decor is really nice. You have to head upstairs for seating once you enter. Service is good. Banchan: Why're they all so spicy? 3/5 lotus root- spicy 3/5 pickled radish- hella spicy & sweet for me 3/5 pickled cabbage- so spicy 3/5 some beef dish- spicy 4/5 watermelon juice: They use actual blended watermelon. It was nice & frothy too. Wasn't too sweet, tasted very natural. Didn't taste like any added sugar/syrup or disgusting, artificial sweetener. Also, I don't think I've ever had watermelon juice anywhere before, so it's hard to compare with other drinks. However, in an age of crappy, artificial, food & drink (artificial refreshers, juices, teas, etc.), this was a nice change. I think I'd come back here just for this. 3/5 beef teriyaki: sweet, but not overly so 2/5 calamari- all tentacles, pretty bland 1/5 egg fried rice- very bland 3/5 sundubu jjigae ($14)- I requested mild, & the base was very watery, even tho it was still pretty spicy. Didn't look or taste authentic to me. Also, the only seafood in it was shrimp & fake crab. I expected what I expect when I order this dish at a Korean restaurant: a rich, savory, broth with clams, mussels, & squid too. In terms of seafood variety, authenticity, & taste (rich broth), I def feel cheated. Also, it didn't come with rice or gyeranjjim. I had to request white rice, cuz it's the only plain rice they had. What kinda Asian restaurant doesn't have purple sticky rice? How dare. What cuda been an amazing dish, sadly falls mediocre. 3/5 cucumber salad: spicy for me, but my friends didn't think so. Comes with peanuts. 1st time I seen cucumber salad come with peanuts. Why ruin a fine dish with peanuts? read more

Great selection of meats and sides, all options are fresh and delicious!! Great seasoning provided & their teriyaki steak was the best yet; the seasoning/sauce they leave the steak in is just a perfect match! We had reservations and were seated as we arrived, quick, friendly and efficient service. It's a family environment, noise level as expected but not obnoxiously loud. It's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for! A they are pretty clean and tidy, which is essential for these restaurants; servers attentive to changing your grill when needed. read more

We returned to this spot for the second time. Four people can sit in the booth comfortably. We walked in for Sunday lunch. We cooked the meat on our own, but the server was attentive and helped change grills a few times. We enjoyed all of the meat, sides, and seasonings. My favorites were the Szechuan pickled cabbage and cumin dry seasoning. The quality of the meat was good, and it came with any fixings needed, like lettuce, sliced fresh jalapeños, mushrooms, and more. The bill was not bad for four people. read more

Came here spontaneously on a Saturday night with 5 people and we were seated almost immediately! Once the food came, you grill it yourself. They didn't give us any instructions but everything was pretty intuitive. It's more like a chinese fusion bbq than kbbq, but the food was still delicious. Everything was very neat and clean. I really appreciated how the vents were built into the grill so we didn't have any bbq smell on us after. My favorite dish was the marinated beef. The fried rice and seafood pancake were also really good. read more

We had the AYCE lunch deal for ~$40/person. The meat cuts were very good quality. Our favorite was the flat iron - a thicker cut. The pickled cabbage and raddish were great side dishes to go with the meat. We also got the corn cheese and cheese mashed sweet potato. I do wish there was kimchi to go with the lettuce wraps, but I understand it was a fusion of Japanese and Korean bbq. The ambiance was very nice - they displayed the meats for you to see the quality! There was also pleasant decor which made the restaurant feel high-end without feeling pretentious. Service was excellent and our waiter made sure to change our grills consistently. It is a cook-it-yourself style so they don't grill for you. I'd definitely come back for special occasions. read more

This is my second here for the full experience. Made it here before 4:30pm for the AYCE. The food was good the first time that I was excited to come here. Again the place had nice decor and separated both to give some privacy. Since it was a Monday afternoon the place was average busy and we were quickly seated. We scanned the QR code on the table to see the selection of meats & appetizers to order. We also asked for a pitcher of the plum juice that came with the AYCE. The juice tastes plummy and good beverage to enjoy with the BBQ. Would definitely order again. We ordered about 7 types of meat to grill... Brisket, teriyaki short ribs, beef tongue, spicy beef, beef slices, pork belly, garlic shrimp, bacon with enoki mushroom, mushroom plate... We also asked for some banchan, lettuce and grilled squid to go with the meats. The grilling process is pretty easy. But the rest is unimpressive. The meat that are marinaded are very one note in flavor. Meats that are plain has no salt or any seasoning. Since it's AYCE, most of the beef grade are Chuck (also means pretty tough & chewy). The service was good. The bill after tip & tax came out to be $105 for 2. I would have preferred ordering a la carte. This second trip did not encourage me to want to return If you want to come I say order individual dishes. You'd be much happier. read more

Our server constantly switched out the grill without prompt and brought dishes out at an extremely fast speed. The meats were all delicious, the marinated ones were well seasoned.

This was a fun and delicious experience! It's the kind of place where you grill your own food right at the table, and I absolutely loved it. The setup makes the whole meal feel interactive and social perfect for a night out with friends or family. The quality of the meats was great super fresh, some were well-marinated, and the others you add your own spices. We tried a little bit of everything, and it was all flavorful and satisfying. The service was great too! The staff was really attentive, helping us get set up and checking in just the right amount. The ambience is warm and lively without being too loud. Between the good food, great service, and the whole grill-at-your-table vibe, it's definitely a spot I'd come back to. Highly recommend if you're in Flushing and want a fun BBQ night! read more

I came for their lunch AYCE, and unfortunately the food was pretty disappointing. The meat quality was decent, with a few cuts better than what I've had at other KBBQ spots, but overall it felt more like a Chinese take on Korean BBQ. Many of the side dishes were Chinese-style, such as cucumber salad and cabbage salad, which didn't really complement the BBQ experience. They also offered Korean dishes like corn cheese and soondubu, but neither tasted quite right. Corn cheese is usually hard to mess up, but this one tasted overly sweet and oddly unbalanced, as if the mayo was missing. The soondubu contained imitation crab, which completely overpowered the soup and made it taste nothing like traditional soondubu. On a positive note, the service was fast and the staff were friendly and efficient. I can see the appeal given the lunch pricing, but overall, it's not a place I would return to. read more

One of the best kbbq spots I've been to in a while! Great ambience, great service, and great food! While I didn't get come for the all all you can eat pricing, for marinated boneless rib, chicken thigh, white rice, and premium brisket came out to be around the same price and perfect for two people!

If you're looking for a dining experience that's as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food, Korean BBQ delivers on both fronts. From the moment you sit down, the aroma of sizzling meat on the grill pulls you in. The marinated bulgogi is tender and bursting with savory-sweet flavor, while the galbi (short ribs) are rich, juicy, and perfectly charred at the edges. The real charm lies in the interactive nature grilling your own meats at the table makes it feel communal and fun. The variety of banchan (side dishes) is impressive: kimchi with just the right tang and spice, crisp pickled radish, seasoned spinach, and creamy potato salad to balance the heat. Each bite is a new combination of textures and flavors. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and the staff makes sure your grill stays clean and hot. The only danger here is over-ordering everything looks and smells so good, you'll want to try it all. In short: Korean BBQ is less of a meal and more of an event one that's smoky, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe with a faint scent of grilled meat lingering on your clothes as a badge of honor. read more

Pretty good Korean bbq. A bit different on what I'm use too. The small dishes they give wasn't anything to talk about such as other k bbq spots. However, the meat stairs were pretty damn good and the marinaded chicken was delicious. I went for my friend's birthday, and the staff was great and even gave a meat cake. Only take away was they charged $3 extra every-time you request for extra lettuce shells which most other kbbq spots is given for free. The ambiance was excellent and very clean. read more

HORRIFIC SERVICE - all the one star reviews complaining about the service are true! Don't bother making a reservation because they don't honor them. Place is super overrated and service is sub-par. Avoid at all costs. My family and I dined here for our first time on New Year's day. We found this place on Google and were excited to try it out because of all the great reviews. Despite making a 7:30pm reservation, we had to wait over 40 MINUTES past our reservation time for our table with little to no communication from the wait staff. After speaking to multiple employees to better understand the situation, we were told that the previous customer was "finishing up his ice cream" and that there was "nothing they could do about the situation" except have us wait longer. Making reservations should not be an option for the restaurant if they are not going to be honored - if I have a reservation for 7:30pm, I expect my table to be ready at that time and not have to wait 40 minutes for it. By the time we were seated, several parties for 8pm had already been seated. When speaking to Daniel (the manager) about the situation, he was incredibly unprofessional and refused to do anything to alleviate the situation. He did not apologize, take any accountability or try to empathize with our frustrations. Instead, he blamed it on the fact that we were a large party. Daniel also told us that he could not compensate us for the wait because we were a party of 9 - according to him, if we were a party of 2 and we waited 40 mins then he could've compensated us. Makes absolutely no sense and incredibly inconsistent "policy". In the end, Daniel rolled his eyes at us and ended up giving us 2 vouchers (for a party of 9 people) for our next visit that were basically worthless and valued at $2. Will not be coming back - Daniel, you can keep your $2 vouchers. Food is pricey and you can find so many better options in the Flushing area. It's a miracle that a restaurant with this type of service is still in business. Hope they find a more competent manager to address customer complaints. read more
