Pretty decent AYCE lunch for $40. I like that is also available all week from 12-4pm. The menu is on an iPad but you have to order with the server. I think the options are a bit limited, there could definitely be more vegetable options. The meats were pretty decent quality and overall pretty good. I'll say it felt more like a fusion of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese flavors. We tried pretty much all of the meat options and I enjoyed the brisket the most. There's also some options for appetizers but we only tried the corn cheese and the cucumber salad. When the cucumber salad came, I was beyond shocked at the sheer size of it. It was huge. 80% peanuts and 20% cucumbers. It tasted delicious but the sheer size scared us from ordering any other appetizers afterwards. The AYCE also includes certain soft drinks and ice cream. Service was a bit slow, it was hard to get someone's attention sometimes. I do like the overall ambiance and the decor of the restaurant.

My friends and I were looking for an all you can eat KBBQ place, and came across this restaurant. We reserved online for dinner time and selected it was for AYCE. Once we entered the restaurant and sat down for the reservation, we find out that AYCE is for lunch only. It also says lunch time in the menu section of their website. That may have been our mistake but I feel like the reservation system should not have that option since we chose this restaurant for the all you can eat option. Once we were already there, our group of 4 would have been charged $15 per person to cancel the reservation, so we stayed We ordered several items and planned for it to come close to the AYCE price we were expecting which is fine. We ordered Kimchi fried rice, the name itself made it seem like it was just kimchi flavored or mixed rice. It was a surprise when it came and had beef or bulgogi on top of it. Someone in our group we were sharing with can't eat beef. Since it was already made, we couldn't adjust it and just ordered an additional kimchi fried rice and they accommodated it by putting more cheese The rest of the items were for the BBQ. It was a mix of chicken items. They tasted fine but nothing that really stood out to me. Nothing tasted good enough where I needed to request another serving for. We were also coming from an event earlier that day and had bags from that. There was not really any space to put the bags. I think people should come here expecting that it should be the main event of the night and not bring much else with them. The booths are just for people, it is a little tight in the restaurant and you have stove underneath the table. This also means not a lot of leg room if you are a taller person. Overall, I just did not enjoy my time here. There was a lot of miscommunication. I would say the best dish was the Kimchi fried rice, even though the one I had too much cheese and I had to eat around it. They did try to work through issues but I don't think I want to come back here

3.5 stars There's a lot of kbbq places in the ktown area and I thought I'd stop by and try this out! This place is cheaper than many of the others so I was excited for a new potential go-to spot. We got the meat staircase for 2-3 people (we had two of us) and we were absolutely stuffed. We had to take leftovers home since we couldn't finish it. I loved that there were so many different types of meat for us to try, but they didn't label anything so we had to blindly guess and try each of them. The meat quality was also just okay, I wasn't really wowed by anything. I could tell that the quality of the meat reflected the price so I was a bit disappointed given the presentation, ratings, and ambiance of the restaurant. Service was great, they constantly walked by to check on us to see if we needed anything.

Cheesy Potato Bites

Stopped by with some friends and opted for the Kingdom Steak Combo, Seafood Pancake, and Cheesy Potato Bites. We noticed they offer an All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) option after ordering--we missed it this time around, so I'm curious if our combo featured more premium cuts compared to the AYCE menu, but it's definitely something to compare next visit. Note for first-timers: This is a self-cook spot, and it wasn't clear whether staff assistance is available if you need a hand with the grill. The Food: Cheesy Potato Bites: Surprisingly, this was the absolute highlight of the night. As simple as it sounds, it was executed flawlessly with a incredible, satisfying cheese stretch and perfect texture. Kingdom Steak Combo: Generous portioning that easily feeds 3 to 4 people. Flavor-wise, it's standard mid-to-high-end cuts--solid quality, though nothing mind-blowing. That said, the marinated short rib stood out with a rich, flavorful marinade. Seafood Pancake: A nice, classic side to round out the meal. The Drinks: Ganhoo Citrus Party Tower: Clearly designed for a younger, party-minded crowd. Complete with flash lights and a mountain of fresh fruit in an Asian-influenced sangria, it's fun visually--just be prepared for a heavy hit of sweetness! Cocktails: If you prefer something more balanced, skip the tower and go for the Yuzu Sunset or Ruby Lychee Negroni. Both pack a nice kick upfront and finish with a smooth, bright fruitiness.

Gan-hoo BBQ did NOT disappoint. The Meat Lover's Stair Combo was stacked with beef, pork, seafood -- and yes, Wagyu Add in great cocktails and apps and we were officially rolling out the door. Worth it every time. I need to come back for lunch - they have an AYCE lunch for just $39.99 - literally can't beat this!!

Kindom Steak Combo
Edna L.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and I am so glad I did! We had a reservation here for a random Thursday night at around 6pm and were seated immediately upon arriving. To be fair though, I'm not sure if the reservation was needed since at around 6pm there were plenty of tables open. It did get crowded around the 7pm mark though! We asked for bags so that we could place our jackets and belongings into - from our vast experience, at hotpot or kbbq joints, it is known that your clothes and belongings will have the lingering scent of food well after you leave. We were quite disappointed that they didn't acknowledge our request- it is unclear if they have or not but it'd be a good idea to bring your own protective bag next time. Don't get me wrong, the food smelled absolutely amazing- we just didn't want to smell like kbbq while we were strolling around afterwards! Besides that, the service was great! The waiter was friendly and smiled and constantly came to refill our water when needed. Food came out promptly and they checked in to make sure we had everything we needed including refills of lettuce (for wrapping the kbbq meat), kimchi and radish wraps. FYI though, unlike other kbbq joints, they don't grill anything for you or tell you times in which to grill the meats. It's more of a you grill what you eat to your liking kind of setting. We also loved that they changed our grill once the first one got all burnt from the marinated meats. The food itself was also great! The quality of the meats are absolutely amazing here for the price you pay. We ordered the Kindom Steak Combo, The Vegetable Platter, the Korean Seafood pancake, the spicy Cucumber Smash, and the creamy Baked Cheese Corn. They kbbq also came with 2 condiment sauces for the meats- a yuzu based one and a "spicy" red one which wasn't actually spicy but tasted good. The Kindom Steak combo does come with plenty of vegetables to grill, hidden under the cuts of meat and decorative greens. Almost as much as the order of Vegetable platter itself. All were appropriately sliced and were quick to grill and enjoy. The Korean Seafood was generous on portion. It came with a delicious soy sauce based dip, making it much better- more flavorful! It also was topped with lots of bonito flakes. The spicy cucumber smash was refreshing but be warned it does come with a slight kick... this coming from one who loves spice. For my friends that couldn't handle spice and tried it, they needed plenty of water and other food to neutralize their taste buds. I did love that it was very cooling and came with plenty of sauce and peanuts for extra crunch. And lastly, the creamy cheese corn left a lot to be desired. This, honestly, was the only disappointing item we ordered. We heated up the tinfoil bowl of creamy cheese corn on the grill until we could get that cheese pull satisfaction from eating it. After serving, it didn't take long for it to cool down and was back to being a glob of cheese corn, mostly cheese. It was also pretty greasy! This was the only item we sadly did not finish. Would not recommend this one item. But everything else we ordered was great! To end our meal, the waiters also brought us each a bowl of oolong tea pudding. They were very silky smooth and had a lot of oolong tea flavor. Also very cooling/refreshing and tasted delicious. After trying GanHoo BBQ for dinner, I am curious to see what the AYCE lunch offers and how it compares to our dinner that we had. To my understanding, the AYCE lunch is offered for $40 per person, from 12-4:30pm on weekdays AND weekends. Looking forward to my next meal here!

chicken wings,  cucumber salad

I usually go to the one in Flushing, so this was the first time here. Had the AYCE, and was stuffed. Amazing value for 40$. The selection here is slightly different from Flushing but still great. All the meats were excellent. The service was great, they brought over what you ordered very quick. Definately will be back. Probably my new fav in the area.

Cheese corn
Holly C.

Came here on a Saturday night with my party of 7 people. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a staff member and were seated right away upon telling him my name under the reservation. It was busy so I would recommend making a reservation on the weekends. We were seated in a booth, which technically will only fit 6 people comfortably but since we have 2 kids in our party, we made it work. They don't have any big tables (at least on the section where we sat and I'm not sure if they have another side of with more tables) so I don't recommend going with more than 6 people. We ordered their seafood pancake, creamy baked cheese corn, rice cakes, and cheese kimchi ramen to start. Their seafood pancake looked funny as they put bonito flakes on top which is the first time I've seen it ever. The pancake itself had a lot of seafood, but there's very minimal scallions in it and it was like paper thin. The sauce that came with it seemed off as well and looked like there's a lot of cilantro in it so I didn't even try it at all. Definitely not authentic and would not recommend it. The creamy cheese corn looked sad. $6.95 for a very small portion of corn and mostly cheese. The cheese cooled down quickly and it was very hard to scoop it out. The rice cakes were ok as it was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. It wasn't bad but nothing memorable either and definitely not worth $11.95 for only 6 of them. The description said it's supposed to be drizzled with brown sugar syrup and sprinkled with roasted soybean powder. But I tasted nothing like that as they only managed to drizzle the syrup on the top 3 rice cakes and there were nothing at the bottom. The cheese kimchi ramen is something you can make yourself at home so save yourself $16.95. I wasn't a fan of their kimchi as the flavor was just spicy but lacks depth. Another thing to note is their banchan was also very underwhelming. We were presented with a very small portion of kimchi, lettuce and carrot salad, some kind of sliced beef (which I didn't try because it didn't look appetizing, and same Saam mu (which sliced picked radish). Their kimchi was so chopped up that it looked like it's the leftover scapes. I normally like to grill kimchi to wrap with my meat but it was so chopped up that it's hard to grill it without it falling through the grill rack. For bbq, we ordered their kingdom steak combo, an additional rib eye, thick cut pork belly, pork jowl, and some veggies including king mushrooms, corn and asparagus. The combo was listed as a 2-3 people portion but I was surprised with the generous portion size. The meat quality was good given the price point. We all also enjoyed the pork belly as it had a good fat/meat ratio. The only thing is they didn't have any aged kimchi to go with the pork which is how I normally like to eat my pork. I also wished they told us all the meat dishes come with king mushrooms so we didn't have to order a separate plate of king mushrooms. All the veggies were fresh and portion size was very generous. Another thing is unlike most Korean bbq restaurants, they do not grill for you but this didn't bother us as we like to grill ourselves anyway. They also do not include rice so you would need to order them separately. Their service was generally good and they were very attentive at refilling out water. But they completely forgot when I asked to have more kimchi. I also read other reviews after one meal that they were given oolong pudding as desserts but we were not offered any at all which was a little disappointing. However, I noticed they do have great ventilation system as I did not walk out smelling like a piece of grilled meat so that's a plus. Overall, this is not your typical, authentic Korean restaurant. Their menu is limited and I was disappointed that they do not have naengmyeon as most people eat it after the bbq to cleanse your palate. The best part is their bbq and if I were to return again, I would just stick with their meat and skip everything else.

chicken nuggets

We came here as a group of 4 for the $40 AYCE lunch special on a Sunday, and I think it was good value and quality for the price. The flatiron was surprisingly good and probably my favorite. I also enjoyed the various briskets they had. I'm normally not a pork belly person, but their pork belly was not super fatty, which was nice. They provide lard for you to oil the grill, and everything is to be cooked yourself, which makes sense for AYCE. They also have a different grill plate for some of the fattier meats like the beef toro, so if you find that your grill is smoking up too much, you can ask them to change the grill plate. Some of the sides were also very good - the radish was delicious and the chicken nuggets were a surprising standout. I didn't like how they slowly they brought out our orders, and there is no iPad to order, so you have to tell the waiters what you want. Definitely better to come when it's less busy - we came right at 12pm and there were only like 3 tables, so the service was quite good. By the time we finished eating, the place was definitely busier. I also wish they had galbi!

All the food was we came as a group and loved it. It's a really good price and we were so full. Really appreciated them having a good amount of vegetables to choose from like oyster mushrooms, other types of mushrooms, cucumber salad, kimchi, lettuce wraps, white rice, mixed flavored rice, and soup. The cucumber salad was a bit too spicy for us though. It would be nice if they had a very mild version. All of the meat selections were great. It's very filling, straightforward and easy. The service was excellent. They're so kind and attentive. Really appreciate the water refills and having lemon in the water. Definitely coming back!

We came by on a Friday night with a reservation and were seated in a few minutes. The restaurant is on the second floor and is fairly large. We had the staircase meat platter and the seafood pancake. The meat platter had a variety of beefs, pork belly and pork jowl and shrimp. My favorite was marinated kalbi. The pancake was nice and actually tasted even better crisped up on the grill. The staircase itself is probably good for 2-3 ppl. Overall food was good and service was fine. My only complaint is that the place gets really smoky and needs a little bit better ventilation.

Ambiance (5/5): The interior is larger than it looks but not too much space. For lunch, a small corner of about 8 parties were seated. The 2-person table felt a little cramped but otherwise the area was well-lit, clean, open, comfortable. Service (5/5): Our servers were wonderful in providing suggestions, floating the floor for additional requests, helping to change out our cooking grates, and even helping us to cook at various points. They even went out of our way to give us another soda before we asked for it and packed up our leftover soup! Service here is through the roofff Food (5/5): AYCE $40 for lunch is expensive but it does include tons of great cuts of meat. Spicy beef was our favorite (marinated with a cumin seasoning). Skip the pork belly. All other beef cuts tasted great. Included are several appetizers (wings, stews, salads, corn etc.) and sides (examples: kimchi, white rice, pickled radish, fries, etc.), unlimited soft drinks! Seafood Tofu Stew (5/5): Portion size was big enough for 2 people. It had tons of flavor and stocked with enoki mushrooms, tofu, small chucks of calamari and baby shrimp.

Oolong tea panna cotta
Esther P.

had to go to midtown location once I heard it opened, I've been to the flushing location 3 times! It's so good! Food was great, the meat was great price and quantity. Service was great we got lots of refills on side dishes , plus our server helped us pick which dessert to get . I really liked the ambiance inside it was spacious and was very nice inside. Definitely check it out for Asian bbq in the city

I just love this place - never disappoints The…read morecollaboration with Kwame Onwuavhi was excellent

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I was really happy to finally visit on a…read morebeautiful day and snag a seat outside. Naturally, I wanted to try as many classic dishes as possible, especially since the menu had so many items that caught my eye! Food: 4/5 I'm not gonna lie: when I go to a place that advertises chili and spicy dishes, I expect HEAT. I want my mouth on fire! Unfortunately, outside of the marinated crab, I didn't get quite the level of spice I was hoping for, even when trying their traditional spicy sauce. I understand that not everyone wants to suffer through a meal, but for those of us who love spicy food, I was hoping for a little more kick. That said, the food was genuinely delicious. The wings were beautifully fried with this almost lime-and-sugar-crusted flavor. They were crispy and tasty, but definitely not spicy. The mussels were another highlight. They were smoky, incredibly tender, and cooked beautifully. I would absolutely order them again. However, the marinated crab was the star of the show. It had exactly the level of spice I was craving, and I kept going back for more because I just wanted that burn! It was seriously addictive. I was also pleasantly surprised by their happy-hour seafood tower. For around $45, you get clams, oysters, shrimp, and marinated crab all on one tower. Honestly, that's a fantastic deal for a shareable platter of seafood that can get pretty expensive elsewhere. I would absolutely come back during happy hour just to order this again! I also tried the crab fried rice and sweet limeade. The fried rice was worth trying, while the limeade was refreshing but nothing particularly memorable. I've heard great things about their cocktails, so I imagine those might be worth exploring if you drink alcohol. Our total came to around $150 after tax and tip for the seafood tower, marinated crab, wings, mussels, crab fried rice, and limeade. It's certainly not the cheapest outing, but considering how much we ordered, I thought it was reasonable. Service: 5/5 Honestly, the service was fantastic! My server was attentive throughout the meal and made sure to explain the best order for the dishes. For example, she recommended serving the raw seafood tower first, before bringing out the cooked dishes, so we could enjoy everything at its best. I really appreciated how patient and flexible she was, especially since I'm a little indecisive when ordering. We started with the seafood, moved on to the cooked dishes, and then I ordered the crab fried rice because I really wanted to try it. The pacing felt thoughtful rather than rushed, and the team was accommodating throughout the experience. I genuinely have no complaints about the service. My server made the experience that much better! Vibe: 4/5 I really enjoyed being able to sit outside on such a beautiful day. The restaurant was a great place to enjoy a variety of seafood and share several dishes without feeling rushed. The happy-hour seafood tower also makes it a particularly appealing option for a group looking to try different things without spending a fortune on each individual seafood dish. All in all, I would definitely come back, especially during happy hour for that seafood tower and the marinated crab. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I thought the overall value was pretty good considering everything we ordered. My one note: If you're a serious spice lover who wants every dish to set your mouth on fire, this might not be the place to satisfy that particular craving. There are definitely other spots in New York City that deliver more heat. But if you're looking for delicious seafood, a great shareable platter, and excellent service, this place is absolutely worth checking out!
