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!

Solid spot for AYCE, best sides for nyc AYCE! i love how the nangmyeon is homemade. the pancakes were also so good. paired very well with the thicker cuts of beef which were my fav More vid clips @katheriinezhang IG

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!

Can be easy to miss if youre not looking for it (especially in my case as they have scaffolding…read moreoutside right now). It has a very chic atmosphere when you first walk in. Sat at a high top by the bar and had a fairly light dinner. The Beef Tartare comes out with a cracked quail egg for you to pour into the meat yourself and the beef sat on top of sone sliced pear. It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef. The cured shrimp was delicious, I'm sad there was only 3 because I wanted 5 servings of it. The uni, roe, and soy shrimp practically melted in your mouth. The Uni Bimbimbap has rave reviews and I can see why. It was filling without being overly heavy and each bite had uni in it after mixing it up. If you're unsure about uni, this is definitely a great way to introduce yourself to it's flavor palette.

Sauce was meh - Seafood rose tteokbokki: 8/10, super creamy, but wish there was more rice cake. Lots of seafood!! Bb.q Chicken's rose tteokbokki is better imo - Pork shank: 9/10, really tender and juicy meat that fell off the bone. Hella pricey tho (-1 point) - Kimchi fried rice w/ prime hanger steak: 6/10, just okay. Not a huge fan of the fried rice, the steak was good, medium rare - Espresso martini: 8/10, really strong lol

Still, this restaurant remains super high on my list ramyun fried rice ($18) - the only time ill actually like bacon is when they make it like this! I like my bacons a bit more soft and chewy, which was how it was made in this dish - it was a blend of rice and ramyun but i didnt really see the value in adding the ramyun since they were very tiny bits that were softer than i liked - what i wished the dish could focus more on would be to have more ramyun flavor and seasoning mixed in the rice because it tasted more like regular spicy oil fried rice - i liked the dish and it's on the right track for that ramyun flavored fried rice but it's a bit faint right now and can use more kick soy glazed bossam ($36) - i was never too big on bossam because the ones ive had before were plain and dry, but this one is different - seasoning was just right, bringing out the pork's natural richness and fatty aroma without being overly marinated, too dry, or greasy - im a fan especially the pickled radish that came with it; it's my favorite meat pairing rather than a simple cabbage or kimchi salad - it also came with kimchi salad but it was too crunchy, hard, and dry for my liking rating: 4.6/5 - overall still one of my top korean restaurants in nyc because the perilla oil noodles and hojok galbi were just phenomenal; id say skip the ramyun but definitely order the perilla oil and hojok galbi - insanely fast service and welcoming; got our food minutes after ordering!

They have a variety of the standard fare Korean options at reasonable prices. We tried the ddukbokki and bulgolgi dupbap which were both good.

Overall a solid option in the area if you don't want to wait for a long queue outside of the other popular spots.

Other than that, I really enjoyed my meal and I'd definitely recommend this spot.
