    26. Jaeyuk Bokum 제육볶음

    Wanted to try another restaurant next door but it was packed. This didn't disappoint though, and I'm glad we came. They had plenty of banchan (not pictured) and seating. I remember coming here several years ago and the quality has remained pretty consistently high. - Galbi, (4.5/5): my fave of the 3. Perfectly marinated and had a nice chew. Lots of meat so I think the portion size is worth it. - Spicy stir fried pork, (4/5): it was saucy, pretty standard, and had a nice kick to it. Lots of stir fried veggies as well (though it did feel like there was more veggie than pork) - Seoullungtang, (4/5): warm, soulful and comforting. My main complaint is that there were not many beef slices, but I liked the customizable additions for salt. Surprisingly finished all the food as a party of 2... thought I would have food to take home but we were pretty hungry!

    I'm a Spicy Pork enthusiast (I order it 90% of the time!) and I paired it with the Ox Knee Slices here. The flavors were standard K-town fare but the highlight of the night was definitely the server. She was hilarious and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a friendly atmosphere, this is the place!

    Came here for a quick lunch on a week day. Service was very fast which I appreciated. Side dishes were fine. Bibimbap was okay. It was hot, but it didn't come in the traditional stone bowl which makes the rice slightly crispy. Overall, I would probably return again if I needed a quick bite and was in the area, though I would not seek out this restaurant again.

    If you want to be seated rather quickly and just need a quick fix of korean food or just happen to have a large party, this place gets it done. I thought my meal was lacking flavor and the some of the banchan tasted old. You know something's up when the potato salad tastes like blue cheese :( There's barely any meat in their soups too, I only had a few small pieces. So I felt ripped off paying $30 for soup and pancake

    We originally planned to go to the restaurant next door, but we were late and there was already a long line, so we decided to give this place a try instead. At first, I was a little worried the food might not be as good because there was no line at 12 PM and only a few tables were occupied. But we immediately regretted not trying this restaurant sooner. The bibimbap we ordered was the best we've ever had in NYC. It wasn't over-seasoned, the ingredients were very fresh, and the crispy rice at the bottom was perfectly crunchy and delicious. I strongly recommend that the restaurant update their menu and banner to let people know their bibimbap is one of the best in NYC. They deserve more customers.

    This is my go to spot whenever I'm craving bean paste stew or sul rung tang! I'm always able to walk in. The space is large for NYC standard. Their bean paste stew is my favorite! Every bite is flavorful and every ingredient soaks up the bean paste nicely. The sul rung tang is creamy and beef essence.

    Yes, it's an easy spot to hit up if cho dang gol's line is too long (which it always is) but it's also a cozy, authentic restaurant as well. The servers are all super nice and they refilled our banchan happily 3-4 times. They have such an extensive menu, including lots of vegetarian options! I got the japchae which was large enough for two meals, and it was pretty decent! My friends loved their dishes as well. The bibim guksoo was very refreshing and perfectly sweet and spicy. The galbi jjim, i thought the soup was pretty light but the meat was so tender. The stone pot pork over rice was okay imo but my friends also really liked it.

    Came here with some friends and got a bunch of dishes to share. The inside was quite large with lots of seating, but you should still expect a bit of a wait (we waited 15min so it was not bad at all). The portions were smaller than I expected but the food tasted homey and comforting. It didn't stand out but it wasn't bad at all. The service was not the best, but it might have been because we don't speak korean. We asked for some bowls a few times but the waitress never brought them to us (maybe there was a language barrier?). Overall this place is pretty good if you don't want to wait in the long line that the other korean restaurant had. But the service left something to be desired if you don't speak korean

    Han Bat is a small, straightforward Korean restaurant located just outside the main Koreatown area, though it's still in that general neighborhood with other Korean spots nearby. The place was quite crowded when we went, which is usually a good sign, but we were seated almost instantly. The service was fine but felt a bit slow at times, and paying was a little confusing since you have to go up to the front register yourself rather than having the waitstaff collect the check at your table. The banchan, or side dishes, were pretty standard. They did include one that was like a sweet mashed potato, which was a nice little change, but the rest were what you'd typically expect at any Korean restaurant. For our meal, we got an assortment of bibimbaps and a kimchi bokkum. The bibimbap was quite standard, very similar to what you'd get at other places. It was a satisfying and hearty meal, but we didn't feel it particularly stood out from versions we've had elsewhere. The kimchi bokkum was better, with a solid spicy kick that wasn't overwhelming. It came with a good mix of ingredients like chewy rice cakes and pieces of pork mixed in, which made it more interesting. It's a reliable spot for classic Korean comfort food in a no-frills setting.

    Dinner special 1 entree & 1 small stew for $28. 3/5 sundubu jjigae- requested extra mild, but was still way too spicy 3/5 jeon- decent, not as bland as other places, was able to eat it w/o salty soy sauce 4/5 kimchi cheese fried rice- pretty good, wish it was a bit less spicy Banchan: 4/5 broccoli- pretty good, seasoned 2/5 potato salad- not a fan of anything with mayo 3/5 Japchae- pretty decent 3/5 kimchi- very spicy, very fermented 3/5 tofu kimchi- spicy

    Banchan time!
    Lucia C.

    My grilled squid tasted ok. It definitely tasted like it was something you buy frozen from a pack but the Soon Doo Boo Chi Gae reminded me of my mother's. I will order that again next time as an entree alone. This is the 2nd time I am coming here. Service can be hit or miss.

    Sarah Y.

    Really delicious Korean food! Mahbe I was just hungry but it was sooo good!! We ordered 3 dishes: a bibimbap, LA Kalbi, and a Japchae. It was quite a lot for 2, but delicious. I will say the banchans were just ok, we didn't ask for refills so they never refilled, just took away the plates. One of the best japchaes I've ever had, and the Kalbi was amazing as well, as was the bibimbap. Service was great as well and we didn't have to wait!

    At Friday night, it was packed with so many people both inside and outside of the restaurant and I was so excited. The menus are very consistent! We ordered couple things for sharing. I will be honest but they didn't taste enough as authentic as they should. Even tofu soup. Kinda shocked to find out this way. Moreover, a dish of squid was ... looks delicious but very odd smell like definitely not fresh. Couldn't finish dishes. Stars for sweet waiters and service. I wish they could improve.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

There is also bar seating. It's a bit tricky figuring out what to do with your coats since the chairs aren't really meant to hang winter coats on, but there is a clothing rack in the back that someone can help you with. Everything is ordered via your phone using Toast Tab which was convenient since you didn't have to wait for your server. There was also happy hour when we arrived (6:15pm) so we ordered two hand rolls ($5 each). We ordered the chirashi bowl and the shoyu ramen.

We were guided toward the back, past white marble tables with beautiful mustard colored velvet chairs to the long countertop facing the open kitchen. We scanned QR codes to pull up the menu, and despite no omakase noodle offerings to be found, decided to stay because the menu options they did have sounded too good to pass up. Of course they had classic shio and miso ramens, but they also had a duck tsukumen, a red snapper ramen, a black truffle ramen, and the dish I set my sights on-- the uni mazemen. There were also lots of appetizers and a long list of high end onigiri featuring proteins like scallop lemon shio, A5 wagyu ponzu, and bluefin chutoro on offer. This place was the real deal. Our group shared the tebasaki wings-- so crispy and so flavorful, I could have inhaled a whole plate of these. The salmon, ikura, and apple appetizer that was served in a glass chalice was superb but even better was the bluefin tuna avocado sashimi with wasabi. That one was a winner across the board. And then my uni mazemen, which really stole the show. There was a very generous portion of uni that mixed with the savory sauce and al dente ramen noodles perfectly. This dish was rich, unctuous, and fresh and definitely delivered in value, though it was double the price of most other noodle bowls. Uni is a delicacy. Having just returned from a second trip to Japan I can say this place is really as good as any restaurant I visited in Japan, and it's right here in Murray Hill. These Murray Hill bros are lucky.

The hostess and our various waiters (they all seem to assist all diners) were all very friendly and welcoming. We love to try new things so we had to check out the Little Alley Pig Ear appetizer, and I also wanted to try the Shanghai Crispy Eel. For entrees the husband ordered the Eight Delicacies in Chili Sauce and I got the Soft Shell Crab with Rice Cake. Pro tip- their appetizers and entrees are hefty, with two apps and two entrees we were stuffed at the end. The food! The pigs ears were our favorite thing we tried- they well seasoned and so unique I've never had anything quite like it. We didn't read the menu carefully and were surprised it was a cold dish- I imagined the crispy was from being fried but it's just the texture of the cartilage! It's probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed the new experience and the flavor and spice were great. The crispy eels were also tasty, though with such a large portion split between just two people I found the sweetness of the sauce a bit much. I started dipping them in the chili oil from the ears and enjoyed that, but I'd still only get the eel again with more than 2 people to split it. For entrees the 8 delicacies was tasty, all the meat was nicely cooked and tender, and the sauce was pleasant. I wasn't super wowed by this dish compared to some of the more interesting things we tried but it was a solid well-cooked entree. The fried soft shell crab over the rice cakes was delicious and again a very unique experience. I found the sauce a tad sweet but I think I was still a little over the eel dish so I may have been extra sensitive. That being said, it was fun and delicious and I'd eat it again! I can't remember the cocktails we bought, I know they were good but the food definitely distracted us! Little Alley was great overall and I'd love to go back to try some dumplings; sadly we were just too full at the end of the meal!
