I had a great meal at GAN-HOO BBQ. For me, the two most important things at any BBQ are the sauces and the side dishes. And, both were really good! You order with the staff and don't believe there's a limit with how much you can order at once. However, they did forget a few of our dishes, so it took us about 10-ish minutes to get our side dishes. I would probably order the meats and side dishes separately next time. The szechuan pickled cabbage was my favorite! The beef tripe was also surprisingly delicious. The stews were also really good, but just keep in mind that they come in huge bowls. One order was enough to feed our entire table, so I'm glad they forgot to put our other orders in.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This is a high quality, clean, and energetic KBBQ restaurant in Flushing. The complimentary sauces and sides were delicious (ask for extra sides at no additional cost). The protein and veggies were on the expensive side, especially for Chinatown but also in general. Everything was tasty and the servers are friendly. They offer to grill your food for you if desired (or you can grill everything yourself). It's fun to grill the first few pieces on your own, but you'll probably grow impatient like us and just ask the servers to help while you eat. There was a special when we dined there - a free portion of pork if someone from your party posts three photos of the food on social media. We ended up ordering way too much - in the future, we will just get 2 proteins and 2 veggies as a couple. You can't take raw meat to go, so the server grilled up all our leftovers, packed it up, and added some sauce on the side. The flavor and texture of the meat were just as good as leftovers. read more
Super happy with this place. Came 1 pm on a Saturday and was seated almost immediately. Walked in to great ambiance/decor, dividers and space between all the tables, and very kind service! We were served cold appetizers in the beginning -- beef, radish, and tofu -- all delicious!! Got the Meat Lover Staircase along with an additional Altar Beef Rib and it was more than enough for 3 people. It is also a great choice if you want to try a lot of the beef cuts, including chicken, lamb, shrimp, wagyu, etc. Quality BBQ meats, quality cooking from the waiter and highly attentive. Just solid solid solid all around It is pricier but is worth it for the quality!! Would love to come back again. read more

Another internet famous place in flushing. They have nice interior design. They give you free meat if you post your picture on WeChat friend circle. Smart marketing strategy. if you are hungry, order some rice or noodle while you wait for your meat.We appreciated they cooked our meat for us and changed our bbq plate 6 times. However, it was very slow and sometime our meat were over cooked. We had party of 6 and had to wait 15min to cook our meat per order. And we could only shared 2 pieces of meat after waited for this long. I guess if you have less people you can wait less time for your food. If you don't order some other rice or noodle, you would still end up hungry after 3 hours. Or not sure we can cook our food by ourselves, then we can finish our food faster. The meat quality is mediocre and over priced. Overall it is not worth the hype. read more

This is a must visit barbecue place, located in flushing. I have been trying to visit but it's always packed and the wait is quite long. That's how good Gan-Hoo is! I advise to put down your names first. The do have a waiting area with chairs where you wait until they call you in. The meat is very fresh and delicious! Much thought was put into the presentation of the dishes. We got the wagyu fried rice and was very impressed. It was yummy but a bit too greasy. We also ordered the Meat Lover Staircase which everyone seems to get here. Such an assortment of meats! You can grill it yourself or ask the workers to. The garlic mushrooms were a bit salty. Very good service, our waitress was very friendly. They have very unique dipping sauces and sides that compliment the meat very well. Very happy they had pickled radish slices. Overall, we loved the ambiance and service! A lot of attention was placed into the interior design. In the ladies restroom, they even offer hygienic products! read more

My new favorite bbq place! The meat staircase immediately caught my attention when I came across this place online, and it did not disappoint in real life. The variety that comes along with it, along with the beautiful presentation, made the experience amazing. If you're going to get anything from this restaurant, I highly recommend the staircase. This also has the BEST value for Wagyu/A5 Wagyu that I've personally seen! The bullish wagyu presents about 8 slices/bites of Wagyu (I believe SRF Wagyu) for ~$28. The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu is priced at $0.60/g, which is around $16/oz. I've seen places with double (and more) of that price, so I was super happy! For an a la carte bbq place, Gan Hoo was worth what you receive. The customer service was also great; the servers were constantly approaching and attending to our needs & being proactive in their service. From the overall restaurant aesthetic/feel, to the presentation of food, to the delightful customwr service, Gan Hoo made my experience a 10/10! read more

You can't miss this place with the amazing decor from the outside. They follow standard covid procedures with temperature check at the door and jotting down your information. The food and service is amazing. Get the meat lover stair combo, there's a little bit of different meat cuts. Melts in your mouth. Also the corn cheese if you're a cheese lover. Service is amazing and staff are very attentive. read more

Very beautiful food presentation and elegant ambiance. The meats were high quality. The only issues we had was that our server didn't offer to help us grill our meat and that before our meal was close to finished, we were asked to pay and tip early, and as soon as we tipped the waiter disappeared. read more

Think we got lucky because it was quite busy on Saturday night but we were able to get one of the last tables for 2! Came around 7pm and the atmosphere was amazing not too loud and great decor (: the food was delicious for the price and servers were attentive as well! Would def make a reservation if you have a larger party. Recommend the assorted beef platter, veggie platter and extra side of wagyu if you still have space in your stomach! read more

Bring your own liquor will save u some $$. Overall still a nice establishment. read more

Firstly, the interior of the restaurant is so beautiful and culturally authentic. It felt like we were eating in a restaurant in China. We came in on the 3rd week of opening so there was a 40 min wait but I would say the wait was worth it. Our party of 4 was seated and our server was Lee. He was great and attentive the whole meal. We appreciated him taking us through the menu as we had several questions before ordering. Lee was patient with his answers and suggestions. Service was great! We ordered the kings steak, pork belly, pork shoulder, chicken wings, chicken gizzard, kimchi fried rice and cold noodles. Out of everything we had , the kings steak was the best so we ended up ordering 2 plates. The food tasted fresh and we liked the flavor. The 4 stars is really because the grill wasn't oiled before the meat was cooked so it ended up charring some of the meat. All in all we would come again read more

Been here about 3 times already and it's always a pleasurable experience. This place is huge but very packed and busy. Make reservations! The quality of the meat is good, especially for the price. My favorite was the snowflake beef. Their other dishes such as black truffle fried rice and jjigae were really tasty as well! On your birthday, they serve a "cake" made out of more beef for you to grill! Their birthday song is pretty lit too. For drinks, I recommend the mango orange mojito. It's tasty and refreshing, but there is no alcohol in it. However, they serve plenty of other alcoholic beverages. All my friends loved it! Also, their bathrooms are stocked with mouth wash and sanitary pads for females, which I thought was pretty cool. read more
Guys this place is gooood. The meat staircase was perfect for 3-4 people. The waygu fried rice and seafood pancake were delicious too. It's a beautiful place, nicely decorated. Sorry for the weak pic of the fried rice - we hit it pretty hard before I thought to snap a pic! read more
First time at a Korean BBQ restaurant, so I was excited, this was a great experience. The food was good, the vibe was great, and the decor of the place is lovely. Waitstaff is attentive and service is efficient. My fam and I ordered the meat lovers staircase which consists of beef and pork. The fried lotus was AWESOME! The layered crepe dessert is delicate and light, quite yummy. My only con is that they do not ask patrons if it's the first time they dine at the establishment and explain the process of grilling the food. Overall, it was a great time. I will def return. read more
A delicious and delightful experience. There are no faults at this restaurant. The service was great, the price was reasonable, the portions were filling, and of course it was absolutely delicious. Start with a selection of their meat combos and then add an appetizer or two to round you off. Throw in a pitcher of beer and you're good to go. Definitely a place I would come back to with a group of friends for a cool experience in Flushing. Seats fill up fast so ads your name to the waiting list about 1-2 hours in advance. read more

I was here for lunch a few weeks ago. We ordered the Gan-Hoo beef combo. The meat was tasty! However, the overall experience was not good. I was confused by the service. The first waiter we had told us to wave anyone down when we were ready to order. We did as he said and it took them quite a while to have someone else come over and take the order. Then a waitress came over and started to cook the meat for us. She was very nice. However, she was not able to tell us anything about the meat. Which was frustrating because I wanted to know what we were eating. They had everyone sitting in the same area, instead of spreading the tables out throughout the entire space. Finally, it was so loud and impossible to even have a conversation. read more

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Do they take reservations online?
Yes, they take reservations online via minitable system.
