    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!

    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!

    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.

    Cheese corn ribs

    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.

    Seafood pancake

    Really solid beefs and at a decent price point, their seafood pancake was not the crispy style but still good. Good variety and focused on beef. The interior was super large and they had a cute birthday beef cake as well.

    Meat lover staircase
    Daisy C.

    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.

    Wagyu beef combo

    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.

    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!

    I went here on a last minute Tuesday, there was no wait time and the food was great. We hot the ladder and 2 orders of fried rice. It was enough for 4 people, the aesthetics and feel of the restaurant was great too, will be back soon.

    Cooking some meat. I mean, what else did you think was happening here?
    Matt K.

    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.

    AYCE lunch
    William W.

    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.

    Jenny L.

    Food was pretty good!! Service was fairly quick!! Waitress seemed miserable though!! All you can eat from 12PM-430PM for $40 per person which is not bad!!! Definitely going back for more!!!

    Birthday meat cake? Don't be fooled. It's a bowl with a thin layer of meat outside.

    Ask the Community - GAN-HOO BBQ

    Is there take out option?

    I am not sure, sorry.

    There was no info on pricing. Is this a buffet? How much is it to dine here?

    Standard pricing scheme is a la carte and set items. There is an AYCE option in the afternoon for $40 per adult.

    Are reservations required?

    Usually reservation are not required but weekends and holidays get crowded and it’s better to have reservation.

    Is there ayce on the weekends? How much is it?

    Yes

    Does the dishes come with ban Chan, and rice? Do they charge for getting extra lettuce? Most of the places I go for k bbq don't charge for extra banchan, rice or lettuce.

    It comes with ban chan but just like 2 and it's not the ones we get at Korean places. Yes lettuce is extra and I believe so is rice.

    Is this place wheel accesible?

    To enter the restaurants there are couple of steps. I did not notice a ramp

    Is this all you can eat?

    No unfortunately, it's not.

    Is there a menu I can take a look at? Their website does not provide one.

    Their website has an option for Online Order on top; the menu options are pretty much the same for eat in.… 

    Are they byob since they don't serve alcohol? Is there a private area/room available for parties?

    We did order beer and sake, so they may have added alcohol now.

    Do they take credit cards?

    Yes. We do take all kinds of credit card

    Is it easy to find parking?

    It's always gonna be a bit tough to find parking when the restaurant is in the heart of flushing, but most sidewalk parking is free after 7 PM. If you go earlier, you can either pay for sidewalk parking, or park in the nearby Skyview parking lot. $3… 

    How kid-friendly are you? We have a 2.5 year old and 5 month old. Would it be safe for the kids?

    We have hight chair for kid with any age. We also provide Disposable tableware for kids and free chicken nuggets and fries for them.

    Is there happy hours?

    We don't currently have happy hours.

    Since it is Chinese fusion bbq does this place have banchan? Good kimchi?

    No kimchi and the ban Chan we got was this cold meat dish, radish and that's pretty much it

    Is this place Chinese doing Korean bbq and not Korean bbq?

    Yes, it's definitely a fusion place that's more of a Chinese interpretation of K-BBQ rather than authentic, traditional K-BBQ.

    Is this AYCE Korean Bbq Resto?

    No - this is a la carte.

    Are vaccines required to be seated?

    Yes..

    Do they serve alcohol?

    They're still in the process of getting a liquor license.

    Do they take reservations online?

    Yes, they take reservations online via minitable system.

    I went here trying to look for good lunch deals, and given that it was near my workplace, I decided…read moreto go check it out. The actual space is pretty nice and gives a family restaurant in a good way. It was a little awkward with the waitresses, who seemed to be on the quieter side, but nonetheless, they were kind. I got the abalone in the ponzu sauce ($8) and the wagyu beef sukiyaki lunch set ($21). The abalone was actually really good, and as my first time trying something like that, it was well worth it. The wagyu set was also pretty filling and very much worth the price. It came with a salad, an egg soufflé, sliced lotus root, pickled ginger, and rice. The actual sukiyaki was light and slightly sweet, but refreshing. I love that they packed it with vegetables in the sukiyaki. They even give you a complimentary ice cream at the end of your meal. The only thing that docked a point for me was that one other table, and I was the only one present at the restaurant, and there were two waitresses, and I believe another man was working, not too sure what his role was. All three of them would continuously check up on the other table, whereas I would have to flag them down if I needed anything. I noticed them making small conversation with the other table, but they would not really speak to me. It felt a little weird, given that we were the only two tables and somehow they had three people check up on them, and I had zero. The servers were still nice when I flagged them down, but it was just a little strange to be given that treatment. I'm hoping it was just an off day, as I do want to go back and try the other items. The menu was extensive, so I'm really interested in seeing what the other items are like.

I normally…read moredon't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one. For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu. The place is clean and nice. For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced. We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it. Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things. The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it. The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow. The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty. The vegetables are fresh and clean. After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy. I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like. This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy. So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.

The menu should be revised so customers who can't read Japanese know exactly what they're ordering. For the 180 dollars I spent this was an extremely disappointing experience.

This was my first time at their Flushing location and this time, we ordered a la carte. You order on the iPad which has its pros & cons but overall was pretty simple. Their appetizers are well-priced and good portions at ~$6 each for the Edamame, Seaweed Salad, and Kani Salad. Their Seaweed Salad is delicious and is a must for me with sushi. The Kani Salad was also great but I'll probably try the spicy one next time for more flavor. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was fresh, bright, and slightly spicy. We got the Party Box which was perfect for sharing. Everything was beautifully presented, tremendously fresh, and full of flavor. My only complaint was that it wasn't served all together which I would've preferred and would've been a nicer presentation. The reason Akino is my favorite is their rice portion & fish quality! They don't try to overstuff you with carbs, their rolling technique is expert, and the fish is unbeatably fresh and good quality. All the rolls we got were delicious; I honestly can't pick a favorite and would get all 4 again. Amazing dinner!

On our previous visit, at least got a Haagen Dazs ice cream bar, so disappointed there was nothing this time but lollipops.
