Came by a few times, twice for lunch and once for dinner last night, great deal during lunch time with $10 deals and all you can eat dinner will definitely fill you up! Meat quality was decent too, from marinated hanger steak, flat iron steak, shrimp, pork belly and chicken all were good. Sides are good too, tofu soup, bibimbap, radish and salad and cold noodles plus buy one get one free beer deal will be about $70 a person with tip and tax, kinda pricey but good value still comparing to other BBQ spots in the area.

The lunch specials offer things other than bbq, but the banchan is disappointing except for the egg soufflé which is excellent. Portions are good but I'd prefer if they provide a choice of brown rice or purple rice.

Iron steak, marinated chicken thighs, marinated shrimp, and spicy mini octopus

This place was pretty pricey. However, it is all you can eat. There were four of us and our bill came to a little over $220. They do give you a time limit on how long you can be present. And they change out the grill a good amount of times. I love how they give random items such as vegetable dumplings, fried chicken, and any kind of stew you want. The tofu stew was very good and the kimchi was extremely flavorful. My favorite was definitely the fried chicken. They put sauce on top which made the flavor definitely beyond top tier. The service was great and everyone was very helpful. Overall, this place was a good find. I noticed there are two locations one on the main street and the other one is the second story across the street. I did like this one, however I will try the other next time.

Soondae lunch set ($9.99 w/o tax)

A delightful find in Ktown, the Jongro BBQ market has really delicious lunch sets (all $9.99 w/o tax) dine in only. There are about 8-10 options and they come with 3 banchan dishes, rice, and the main entree. I highly recommend the soondae soup as it tastes more like soulongtang rather than the gaminess of blood sausage. The chicken katsu is also good along with the vegetarian japchae. Bathrooms are clean and service is prompt and friendly. Be warned that you cannot wrap anything to go. Tip starts at 18%.

Came to take advantage of the $9.99 lunch special again. Heard that they added chicken cutlet on the menu so wanted to try. It was not too crowded but started to fill up as time passed. It is a big spacious restaurant with ample seating. Got the chicken cutlet that came with a side salad, rice, kimchi and potato salad. It has a unique sauce that's kinda sweet. Also, tried the chive& scallion pancake which came with rice, kimchi, veggies, and potato salad. It was all right. I prefer seafood pancake. Can't beat the price for lunch with quick service. Only available Monday - Thursday, 11:30-2, excluding holidays.

Great spot for large groups and delicious food! I made a reservation for a party of 14 and the team made it very easy to arrange. They have large tables but not one for 14 so we sat at two large tables back to back which wasn't a problem. A lot of the people haven't had KBBQ before and I wish they explained how it works at the beginning. As soon as we started, they put the sides on the table and didn't even say what they were or how the AYCE worked. Food wise, I loved that the AYCE included meat, fish, and chicken options as we had some folks who allergies and others that didn't eat meat. It also had other sides such as stews and dumplings. Definitely recommend for a fun experience with friends!

milkis

Went here before a concert at MSG, it's so close by, all you can eat and was fucking delicious. I loved all the the little side dishes they brought-- glass noodles, onions, salad, veggies, pork belly (there was kimchi too but I don't eat kimchi so I have no thoughts) out but nothing more than the potato salad which was basically mashed potatoes. They are SO GOOD and go perfect with the grilled meat. For that we got some beef bulgogi and hanger steak and the hanger steak was definitely my favorite. I loved it. We also got bibimbap as a side which was great too. I also tried Milkis for the first time and it was sooooo good, a highlight of the meal for sure. Overall a really fun experience and would definitely go back!

tofu Kimchi Stew
Stephanie N.

There are several Jongro BBQ, my sister picked this one, and upon arriving there were not many people. Wednesday is a special deal of 38.99 per person for dinner menu. I got a bunch of side dishes, tofu stew, kimchi stew, bibimbap, cold noodle, tteokbokki, and the banchan of course. The noodles were TOO COLD. Tofu stew was too oily, everything else was OK. Not a bad deal, the meat quality was decent and good service. You get 1.5 hour ordering time- we ordered two rounds squid, octopus, flat iron steak, hangar steak, bulgogi, shrimp, spicy chicken. We were all super full at the end.

Nice open and streamlined interior for good flow of patrons and servers, who may be carrying hot grills.

I stopped by Jongro BBQ Market with the same friend I reviewed initially almost a year ago and found Jongro BBQ Market has actually improved slightly since the first time. Jongro BBQ Market is not the high end of KBBQ, but it offers a consistently good value where you can afford to return anytime you please and we did. They don't skimp on the banchan here and this time we ordered a boiling hot cauldron of the kimchi stew for each of us, because we liked it so much before. This deserves to be highlighted, especially on these bitter cold wintry days. The deeply rich and spicy broth with tofu, the fermented cabbage, and tomato base with small pieces of what I assume is spicy pork bulgogi is tremendous. Careful, they bring it out smoldering hot and it remains warm in that stone cauldron for a long time. I found the scallion pancake cut like a pizza, offers a nice crisp crust, and goes well with the kimchi stew. I could take a pork bulgogi loaded kimchi stew home as a to go order with that scallion pancake and be very satisfied. Our first order included much of what we liked before: spicy squid, marinated shrimp, spicy pork bark bulgogi and beef bulgogi. We later added the thick cut pork belly a few times. The beet infused daikon, which we ordered a few times, goes very well with the thick cut pork belly and I would imagine it would go well with the pork and beef bulgogi. For those who miss the lettuce, the beet infused daikon deserves your attention, as well as that thick cut pork belly, which cut markedly improved over the first visit to Jongro BBQ Market. Each order of the thick cut pork belly is four beautiful cuts and is probably not unlike that served at the more upscale Jongro BBQ. The shrimp and squid were fantastic and they grill quickly for those who are hyper conscious of the ninety minute timer for AYCE. The spicy squid really sets it off and the shrimp are really quite flavorful. The seafood offers a juxtaposition to the meat for your palate. The spicy pork bulgogi and beef bulgogi are your main and star players at Jongro BBQ Market. You'll keep ordering these and probably together each time. They are consistently good to great and you will keep them on repeat several times in your ninety minute AYCE window. They are satisfying and do not take as long as the thick cut pork belly to grill for those conscious of that clock timer. Jongro BBQ Market is kept very clean and they continually check and replace your grill several times in your ninety minute AYCE window. Petra was our main server, but she will not be the only one to check on and replace your grill. The servers operate as a team, as I have seen at AYCE KBBQ spots. Petra was great and kept tabs on allowing us to reorder at our pace. Jongro BBQ Market is not at the upper end of the KBBQ scene, but offers a solid and affordable AYCE KBBQ experience in KTown for fifty bucks. It offers the highlights of KBBQ and has improved over the initial visit after they opened, which bodes well for the future. 3.7 stars!

Tofu stew lunch special
Sam K.

Amazing lunch deal for an amazing price! For $10 (at this time), the portions are generous, especially if you are ordering the stews (I got tofu stew), with refills for side dishes. However, the service can be unresponsive because it gets busy with the lunch rush, and they only had one wait staff managing the entire floor. My partner didn't get their order for 30 mins, even as I was finishing mine, and we ended up canceling the other lunch. Still, it's spacious and clean inside, and surprisingly free of oily residue or smoke despite it usually being a BBQ restaurant at night.

Nico Samneil S.

Wonderful experience for us. Great food, service and price. They have two sets of menu the unlimited korean bbq $38 something and meal seat $9.99. We took the unlimited. Ample space between tables. Highchair and koala kare seen. Accepts credit/debit. Clean restroom. You can split the bill into max 3. See images for reference.

Chives & Scallion Pancake
Chelsea D.

So thoroughly impressed with Jongro Market! Really loved how many options there were for side dishes. The kimchi stew and tofu stew along with the scallion pancake and tteokbokki were among our favorites! The meat selections were great too. The pork jowl is my favorite!! Something for everyone. Service is awesome. Super attentive staff. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and they play really fun K-pop music. My type of place haha. Been here at least 5 times, and love it every time!

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!
