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!

If you want to pay in cash, make sure you have the exact amount. The meat was so flavorful and the fat was rendered beautifully off of the meat! I'm docking 1 star because they had accidentally given us 4 skewers instead of 5 that we ordered when they gave up the skewers wrapped in tin foil, anddddd after consuming the skewers did we realize we did not get the variety we ordered, but instead 4 lamb and 1 chicken gizzard. The lamb was honestly so delicious though we weren't even mad!

Since our program covered the expenses, we didn't pay anything out of pocket. Now I enjoy a good BBQ cookout at home as much as the next family, but don't care for it as a dining experience. My employer catered BBQ luncheons from time to time, and even then I wasn't crazy about it. Here in Hill Country, a room was reserved for us (party of 36). Our dinnerware resembled army mess tins lined with sanitary papers; our glasses resembled moonshine jars complete with screw threads at the rim for lids. Our dinner was a catered set of longhorn cheddar mac & cheese (quite good), sliced brisket (meh), market chicken (a little tough), fresh baked cornbread (dry & hard) and collard greens (good but could be saltier). I consumed massive amounts of mac & cheese and collared greens to help swallow down the almost rock-hard cornbread. Desert was chocolate chip cookies (that wasn't bad). Some members of the group ordered liquor (at their own expense) to celebrate the good time they were having. Customer service was less than stellar. The waitress did not inform us that soft drinks were complimentary until after we finished eating. That wasn't all. The restroom was located downstairs past the bar room. During my two visits - before and after the food was served - the same staff member was there cleaning. He had just finished the sinks when I went in the first time. On the second visit, the front door was blocked from the inside by a pail - he was mopping the floor. Couldn't he have waited till the off-peak hours to do that?? Customer service and cornbread were enough for me to not recommend this restaurant.

One thing I really appreciated was how good their ventilation system is. Unlike most Korean BBQ restaurants, you don't leave smelling like grilled meat, which is a huge plus! The best part? They cook the meat for you! Our server was amazing and made the entire experience feel so effortless. We could just sit back, relax, and enjoy our meal without worrying about cooking anything ourselves. A few things worth mentioning: The restaurant is on the third floor of the 315 office building, which was a little tricky to find at first. The elevator is also extremely cramped. It might fit a wheelchair, but I honestly wouldn't count on it without checking first. On the bright side, we had no issues walking in without a reservation! Overall, such a great experience!

I tried to find the drink menu online, but they didn't have all the drinks posted. I think the drink I loved was the Bomb Pop or something similar, it was bright blue and super sweet and very delicious. I got one both nights. I also tried another sweet drink that was very good but can't remember what it was. Husband also enjoyed his drinks. Sorry, I know this is less than helpful for the rest of you but at least I'll remember they had "my kind of cocktails" when I next go to NY and review my own reviews. Service was hit or miss; when we sat at the bar the service was definitely better. At the tables, we waited and waited and waited for the server to come back and eventually I gave up and went to the bar to place my second round order. On our second visit we did hear the manager giving the bartender crap for telling someone where to find the bathroom. I didn't love that; you should not be trying to guess whether someone is going to be a customer or not based on their appearance and if the manager wants to do that it's on them, I think it's totally inappropriate to ask the bartender to gatekeep like that. The ambiance is pretty typical sports bar, seats at the bar and high top tables in the front, I think some regular dining tables in the back.

I ordered 3 items from the happy hour menu. Sliders / wings / tots. It was a long day, and I was starving. It takes an oddly long time to get my food. I realize that the waiter mis understood my wings order - no big deal. I try the sliders first. Bottom bun is hard. It was most certainly sitting under a heat lamp for 3ish hours. Maybe longer. Inedible. But I'm starving so I remove the bottom hard buns on both and eat them. They're not good. They're just bland and bad. I go for the tots. Grossly soggy. Flavor profile decent, but sogged out loaded tots defeats the purpose and I only have a few still undercooked bites before pushing it away. Lastly the wings - meh.
