After hearing raving reviews about Gan-Hoo, I knew I had to stop by! My boyfriend made reservations through yelp, and we were seated on the dot at 8pm on a Friday night. Vaccination cards + IDs were checked. We originally wanted to do the meat staircase ($80) but after some consideration, decided that we didn't really want half the things on the staircase (chicken wings, squid, shrimp), and opted to order the Beef Combo Platter ($60) + Pork belly a la carte ($15.99). We also ordered a wagyu fried rice ($11.99), lettuce ($2.99) and 1 of each of the mojito drinks ($4.99 each). There's also an instagram promo - you can follow them for a free plate of chuck eye roll. This was just the right amount of food for 2 of us. You're really paying for the quality of the meat here. The beef combo platter was fresh and well presented, as was the pork belly. What I didn't quite like though, was the service. Our waitress haphazardly cut through our initial pieces of meat, and we decided that we would prefer to cook it ourselves after witnessing that. If you're going to advertise high quality meat, you should treat it as such... instead of just snipping at it unevenly with scissors, with no thought to how it would cook/if the meat would dry out because of it. One of my pet peeves is when BBQ places try to cook all your meat at once, and everything ends up getting cold. I made it clear to our waitress that we would like to eat slowly, and would like to cook the meat ourselves. She was okay with that, but came back when we were at the more expensive cuts and once again butchered the meat without asking us first. It's upsetting! Taking a star off this review because of the service. Other notes - like others mentioned, this isn't a KBBQ spot. It's like a mix of chinese bbq & japanese yakiniku. I wish there were more pickled side dish offerings like KBBQ, to lend some acidity to the rich meats. The mojito drinks were just okay - not great, and was a bit reminiscent of childhood cough syrups. Wagyu fried rice is also just okay to me - it's like any good Chinese restaurant fried rice but the pieces of meat in it were quite tough. Worth $12? Probably not. Overall, I would come back again for the meats. Would probably skip the drinks and the wagyu fried rice the next time around though. And I hope our waitress is more considerate with how she treats the meat... read more

4.5/5 I were expecting Korean bbq but soon realized this was Chinese and Korean (and Japanese?) fusion. Anyways, different from KBBQ. We ordered the Meat Lover's stair combo ($80) which was extravagant in presentation. I wasn't too sure which meat was which and how long to leave on the grill. I wish they would had made this part more clear. I don't think the meat was marinated because it was on the bland side. They do provide sauces on the side. The meat was definitely fresh and high quality. I also tried the Wagyu fried rice ($12) -- too much rice or too little wagyu but still tasted good. My friend thought it was too salty though. Waiters were friendly and attentive but there was still a language barrier as they don't speak English. read more

Food was okay nothing special we got the all you can eat for 40 dollars per adult and 20 for children. Like the service was very condescending and cold. Like nobody greet you or guide you, no smiles like if everyone hates their job there. I was confused the whole time our meat came out to be put in the cooking bbq but the sides took so long to come out our rice. Honestly nothing spectacular. I have gotten to better Korean bbq places. The ambiance very cold in here it's not a welcoming place. There is really nothing to offer on the drinks side. I asked the lady if they have sparkling water she said just tap water with lemon. Not for me will not return. Far better places in flushing. read more

Came here on a Friday night after seeing so many great reviews but was really disappointed by the service and portions. Disclaimer - this is more of a Chinese/Korean infused BBQ place! The restaurant vibe is nice and clean. You can view the menu on a QR code. Once we were ready to order, none of the waiters spoke English (only Chinese). We had to order using pictures on the menu and it was extremely difficult to communicate with them throughout our experience. The side dishes were all spicy, which was sad since I'm not great with spice. They gave spicy radish, spicy cabbage, and thin pho-like beef (which was not as spicy as the rest and the best one). We ordered the Pepper Beef, Garlic Shrimp, Pork Belly, and Hanger Steak. All were very high quality delicious meats but very small portions. I saw a lot of people rave about the Wagyu Beef and Meat Lover's staircase but they were way too expensive for us. Rice is about $1.50 as well, per bowl and does not come with the meat. With a party of 3 girls, we were still SO HUNGRY after we finished all our dishes. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon, unless I'm with a Chinese speaking friend and if we're feeling rich enough to drop big bills on a Meat Staircase. read more

Solid overall experience, I'd go back again. Cuts were decent, environment was comfy. service was attentive enough. Interesting spot for an Asian fusion BBQ spot (Chinese spices were provided, Japanese beef is being sold, and some slices were marinated in a Korean style). Food: 5/5 Price is slightly on the premium side. We ended up getting the Kindom Steak Combo, Meat Lover's stair combo, mushroom platter, vegetable platter, and beef tongue. All of the cuts and varied items were very enjoyable and came with an interesting aesthetic. The Kindom combo came with dried ice smoke while the stair combo as the name implies was placed on a stair. The veggies tasted pretty good having getting a nice char on the grill. I would say that one nuance is that the restaurant operates on a cook it yourself model, which was perfect for me but might not be as fitting for others. I did not feel rushed at all and was able to take my time. Environment: 5/5 The place was spacious and well decorated. I felt there was enough room all around. Lighting and trinkets hung up were nice. The staff at the restaurant primarily speak mandarin Chinese so if possible, I'd recommend going with someone who knows the language. Additional Note: This is a somewhat shady practice but there was a promotion to give a 5 star review on Google Reviews for a pitcher of the strawberry soda. We ended up doing it and the drink was nice with chunks of strawberry puree. read more

Tried Gan-Hoo for the first time with friends and it lived up to its hype! There were 3 of us so we ordered the meat staircase and a few other items. First off, the variety of meat that came with the staircase was great! The garlic sauce that comes with it is amazing! Our waiter took our order and within 10 minutes our food was coming out to the table! Definitely a place with great food. read more

GAN-HOO BBQ - Meat staircase - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

Looooove the variety!!! They have some pricy items, like beef tongue, included in the AYCE menu that would be been charged way more elsewhere. Seafood soon tofu was ok, would like it more spicy but packed with seafood. Liked the corn cheese, but the cucumber salad was super refreshing, acidic, spicy, and got the nice addition of roasted peanuts. Made it to my list of worth it's for ~$50/person for it's quality and variety. Also got plum juice, no additional fee. Service was amazing as well. Kept a close eye on our grill and kept changing it frequently, to the point I was starting to feel bad for clean up crew lol. But they're not overwhelming with their service. Also gave us a different grill for the cooking the mushroom platter so they don't fall through the grids of the grill, very attentive. Ambiance was not too dim like some other bbq restaurants and not too loud as well so you can hold your conversation. Beautiful Chinese oriented interior and decorations. Huge restaurant and it was nice that they have a stand at your table if you ordered too much to fit at the table. read more

We were expecting Korean bbq but soon realized that this was the Chinese version of kbbq. I was actually pretty excited at how spacious and grandiose the place looked but I'm a value for money kinda Yelper and if the food falls short, then none of that mattered. We were offered 3-4 sauces but since one was peanut sauce, and another was red pepper chili (I think?), and neither of those sauces pair well with kbbq, I ended up using only one sauce, or none at all. Also, the appetizers are very different from what Korean bbq places serve. For instance, the radish, which is typically sweet, was spicy in here. This place comes up with a lot of gimmicks to make things interesting (ie having a bunch of guys bring over your food while chanting a birthday greeting). Mine wasn't a bad experience, it's just not my kind of experience. read more

The restaurant atmosphere was alright nothing too special imo. I didn't care for the monotone lighting. The food we ordered was pretty good. The king steak was the best but the brisket was also pretty yummy with the sauces. Honestly not the best Korean BBQ place I tried and it's a little pricey. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for our early Valentines Day dinner. I made a reservation through Yelp and I recommend doing that since they were fairly busy when we got here around 5:15 pm on a Saturday and they got more and more busy as we were there. You do have to show your vaccination card and ID prior to entering; you scan a QR code to get a menu and then order from there. We decided to get the Meat Lover Stair Combo which I think is a good amount for two people - it comes with different cuts of beef, pork and there is also seafood there as well (mussels and shrimp) and also a box of a variety of different mushrooms. It also came with sauces and some side dishes. We also decided to get drinks - I got the strawberry mojito which was not bad but a little bit syrupy and sweet so if you are not into that then I don't recommend it. For the staircase - you are actually suppose to cook the seafood, mushroom (in the box on the grill) and beef first before cooking the pork. The meats itself was pretty good - different cuts some tasted better than others but overall pretty good. The mushrooms were also seasoned and they were pretty good and flavorful. The seafood was pretty fresh as well and the shrimp were all peeled as well and the mussels were seasoned with garlic on top. The pork were also different cuts but they were all really good. Overall - good vibes in this place and the staff was super helpful regarding how to cook the meats. You mainly cook yourself but they do come over and assist if you are struggling which was nice. Definitely recommend coming here for dinner!! read more

I'm so happy I tried this place recently because it's a 10/10!!! The vibe, the decor, the service, the presentation of the food, the TASTE of the food... the price! Everything was amazing and I'm already dreaming of going back. We got the meat lovers stair case which is a must-have, it includes beef, pork, mussels and shrimp. Also comes with garlic, jalapeños, sauce, mushrooms and lettuce. Sooooo good & pretty filling! We also tried the Twilight and Chinese Sling soju-based drinks which were yummy as well, not too sweet. Highly recommend!! read more

During Covid-times, we would order Gan-Hoo for delivery and then cook all the meats at home for our own personal Asian BBQ experience since we couldn't dine out. Just on delivery alone, it was very delicious. They packed all the sauces and seasonings and sides. However, having it in person at the restaurant is a whole another experience. Scoot over Gyu-Kaku, there's a new BBQ king in Flushing. : ) Reservations: Firstly, the line can get LONG at peak hours. Thankfully they do have a decent reservation system but if you plan ahead you can bypass painful wait times. Download the app and put yourself on the list. The time on the app is pretty accurate and you can plan ahead and get there when the app notifies you. Just know that they restaurant is making sure there queue is full and so when they tell you that they are ready for you, expect another 10-15 minutes. Atmosphere: This place is HUGE. Don't be fooled by their outdoor appearance. They have a lot of seats inside with plexiglass partitions to hopefully create some more spacing protection during these times. There's a lot of friendly wait staff and I would have to say, the service is pretty on top of things. Food: What's more to say? Get your BBQ on! I believe the popular ones are the flight of stairs combo and then they have a 9-box item combo. You'll see it in all the pictures. If you're looking for a full out experience your first time, get the flight of stairs. Insta-worthy of course lol. They serve a few bon-chon appetizers as well. We also always get either the cheesy corn or the wagyu fried rice. Yum! I would say lots of people come for the wagyu meats as well. Service: Quick, fast, friendly from our experiences. Summary: Great place in Flushing to get some Asian style BBQ. If you're going all out, get the stair flight combo as well as the cheesy corn. Wait can be long so try to get the app early and add yourself to the list ASAP. read more

I'm glad to see a Chinese/Asian fusion BBQ restaurant in Flushing. My friend and I came here on Sunday evening for dinner. We had a reservation for 6pm and we arrived a bit early and got seated right away. We ordered lamb, thick cut wagyu beef tongue, scallop with vermicelli, mushroom combo and vegetable combo (I didn't take pictures of any vegetables). We also ordered wagyu with black truffle, but it wasn't available. I really like the thick cut wagyu beef tongue. It's a great presentation with the smoke and it's also very tasty. Lamb and beef are great for BBQ as they both take a very short time to cook. The meat here are good quality. I wouldn't recommend ordering potatoes, squash or mushrooms for BBQ as those vegetables take a bit longer to cook. The service is great. Our server was very responsive. He helped us cook and also changed the baking rack. I'd definitely recommend this place for Chinese/Asian fusion BBQ if you want to try something a little different from Korean BBQ. I'd like to come back again with a larger group and try other dishes. read more

GAN-HOO BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

I came here 2 months ago and I can't believe I forgot to write a review. I celebrated a friends birthday and we went all out. Maybe a little too out, our stomachs of course. We ordered the meat lover's stair combo but it should really be called the stairway to heaven combo. We substituted any lamb on the combo with beef instead because we do not eat lamb. We also ordered an extra plate of pork jowl on the side. We knew it was too much food for two but decided not to skip the corn cheese and wagyu fried rice. First off, there's only 3 sauces, and there tomato dipping sauce was soo good. It is sweet with a bit of tang. You get all the sauces with your bbq. That sauce and the spice seasoning was my fav. Secondly, the meat was super fresh, you can smell the char once it hits the grill. Our meat was grilled to perfection. I was also impressed with the squid, you think that the highlights are the meat but they also did exceptionally well seasoning the squid. I am definitely going to order extra squid next time. Lastly, the food I think was meh was the corn cheese, it was a big platter and we couldn't eat it in time for the cheese to stay melted. It was good though but I can skip on this. The wagyu fried rice didn't have much beef in it. It was probably better to order the wagyu bibimbap. Also did I mention how the interior was super nice? Well it is. read more

With no reservation for two on a Sunday night, my friend and I waited about 20-25 minutes for a table. We ordered the meat staircase, an additional enoki mushroom because I didn't realize they already come with the staircase, a black truffled fried rice, and a lychee cocktail to share. The cocktail drink was so yummy, not overly sweet and the best part was that it was PINK! So perfect for our girls date haha. The fried rice was so fragrant because of the truffle, but the taste wasn't too evident in truffle. I would try it again in the future because overall it was still a solid fried rice. The meat was awesome. Everything was juicy and tasted like high quality. The servers did try to help us cook but we did have to take over because there were times when our food started to burn and they were no where to be found. I would return to get this again! read more

How are people frequenting this place?! I'm being generous even giving them 3 stars. I thought maybeee it could just be because it's Mother's Day weekend, but after one of my friend told me she also thought it was average at best, I was like okay it's not just me then. Therefore, I definitely do not care to give them another chance again. The presentation is nice, but don't let all these pictures and peoples snap stories fool you and rope you in to coming here. The meat quality might look great but it's truly just average. The taste was mediocre and the whole experience was poor. Some of the seasonings were off, some cuts weren't as tender as it should be for that cut. The "banchan" is non existent and one of it actually came to us SPOILED. My boyfriend tasted it and immediately said it tasted spoiled, so I grabbed it to sniff it and it smelled so sour! Disgusting. Seafood pancake was wack asf. Only the sauces were kind of good. Got the staircase combo, I guess it's a cute presentation but the actual portion sucks and the meat that's on it is meh (standard or even below average) and really just whatever. The service was absolute garbage. They never gave my side of the table the "banchan" I asked for. The second round of 'beef lover' combo took FOREVER to come. It's not hard to bring us already pre-marinated and pre-sliced raw beef. You cook everything completely yourself, with no guide or insight... luckily that's easy to do for our group, but for other people good luck. Honestly, I'd rather eat Gyu Kaku for the same exact price... so if you want jap bbq then that is even a better spot overall. Or just stick to ANY of your regular Korean BBQ place, and that will already be better on its own. I've even paid just $20 for a wayyyy better executed BBQ experience before. Save your money and stomach space elsewhere. read more

Presentation is on point. This place looked amazing, as well. We ordered their Staircase meat platter, which came with a variety of meats for us to try, and we loved every single bite. It was a great way to sample the meat selection off their menu, so you can always order more of your favorite cut of meat later! We also ordered their cucumber appetizer, which is a bit spicy, but refreshing, and they were super generous with their portions. We went during lunch time on a weekend, and it seemed as though they were slightly understaffed. There was only one person manning the entire area. We asked for help with the cooks on our meat, as my group didn't feel comfortable doing it ourselves, and because the wait staff was so busy, some of our food ended up getting burnt. Sometimes the grills weren't changed in a timely manner, but it just seems like a staffing issue. Outside of that, we all had a great time dining at Goo-Han. read more

First of all they do have very nice presentation for all their food. I think this is the number 1 selling point. Everything must look good first. Now if I'm comparing this to KBBQ or JBBQ I think it's an unfair comparison. This is chinese bbq with Korean bbq influence. So don't expect Korean food. Ordered couple of combos along with the wagyu. Stairways steak combo is a must. read more

It's Korean BBQ meets Japanese BBQ, but ran by Chinese people (one of the dipping spice is the same spice they use for meat on a stick)... that's the best I can describe it in terms of setting, cooking style and the Chinese music... . The menu is very extensive with lots of different cuts of meats. Sometimes too much can be overwhelming... So to make things easier, just order a combo/set. We got the meat lovers staircase, which has 15 different items for $79.99... since it was my bday, we got the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu, which is $0.60 a gram... suggested gram is about 50 per person... . You pretty much cook yourself but staff walks around pretty often to make sure nothing is burned.. they also cooked the A5, you wouldn't want that over cooked... we were there for almost 2hrs... you aren't rushed or anything like that... . Highly recommend making reservations - it was packed on a Monday night, lucky I had reservations... read more
