1/2 soy garlic, 1/2 snow cheese
Hailey C.

I have wanted to try snow cheese for the longest time and was so excited when I saw that K-Bap had it on their menu. We ordered a ton of things off their menu and everything was really good. I wasn't the hugest fan of the snow cheese seasoning since it was really sweet, but I'm glad I tried it. It's a nice casual spot.

Crispy rice cake and chicken wings
Sarah K. P.

These prices are outrageous... for street food?! There is no tipping at this establishment and is head there's an up charge which I'm ok with it's clearly marked and written on the napkins and things so that makes sense. Over 23 bucks for treokbokki is highway robbery... at least based on what I saw for those who ordered around me. The chicken was mediocre at best had decent flavor and ok crunch but wasn't double fried Korean fried chicken I'm used to. They were able to give me half and half wings in a smaller amount (6 count all flats) which I did appreciate. The crispy rice cakes were delicious though! I'd come back just for those to eat while walking around the city!

It's a simple menu. Fried chicken, rice cake skewers. No need to figure out what to tip. They also sell snacks from Korea. It's a cozy place in a secluded block in midtown.

Who would have guessed? A tiny hole in a wall in midtown Manhattan that can serve decent Korean fried chicken? There are plenty of mixed reviews on this place, but I can only judge on the fried chicken, as that is their main staple here. While the restaurant looks unsuspecting from the outside, it is quite cozy inside, and the staff is very friendly. They sell their chicken not by pieces, but by weight. The tenders were $35.00 for 350g or 200g for $20. We went with the 200g since it comes with about 20 pieces. We also ordered the 8-piece bone-in wings. Both orders were super crispy, super flavorful, and I did not suffer from that greasy after effect I normally experience from Korean fried chicken. The price was right, the flavor was right, and the service was right. This is definitely a go-to spot for me if the nearby Koreatown is too busy to service me.

K-Bap & Wings fills up upper midtown's desperate need for a watering hole. I walk in and it never fails to amaze me the diversity of their patrons. You have your weebs, loners (me), stoners, bros, and all types of hoes. For me, I'm always struggling to find something to eat in this neighborhood that doesn't require a full course meal. And I suspect many others considering how rowdy it gets. Enter K-Bap & Wings. I normally opt to try many different items before writing a review but every time I've come back, it was always for one thing: their curry wings. Their snowing cheese is great too but as far as I'm concerned, the curry wings is an nyc item unique to them. If you're looking for something other than your soy garlic or hotter-than-a-K-pop-star, I hiiiighly advise the curry wings. It's not Korean curry (do they even have a curry?), it's good ole-fashion Jamaican curry from the supermarket but it's sold everywhere for a reason (the reason is it's delicious). Side note: try curry powder on your pizza, you won't be disappointed. The staff always seems frantic but that's the standard for our economy while surviving on slim margins. Maybe we should stop paying federal taxes and take care of our own. It's a great place to solo dine and deepthroat some chicken and probably an even greater place to bring your friends because there always seems to be a group enjoying themselves at the big table.

Soy Garlic Wings
Kai J.

We got the soy garlic wings, the tofu soup, and the shin veggie Ramen. General Experience - Waiters were very quick to take our drinks, appetizers and orders - Tight squeeze to get around, the place isn't very big Soy Garlic Wings 4/5 - Wings were huge so plan for that - Wasn't the best soy garlic flavor I've had but definitely good - came with gloves which was helpful Tofu Soup 5/5 - Nothing to note. This was a good soup Shin Veggie Ramen 3/5 - A little lacking in the amount of food but was good otherwise Good food, good atmosphere, wouldn't mind stumbling back.

Very disappointing experience. This was what made me realize that I really can't blindly trust online reviews of restaurants anymore on social media. Ordered wings and soondubu after hearing good things about this place. I'll admit, the wings themselves were decent, hence the 2 stars instead of 1. But when we asked for pickled radish, which is a staple pairing with Korean fried chicken, we were given Vietnamese style pickled radish and carrots. Not only did it not taste good, but it completely missed the mark. Korean fried chicken and pickled radish go hand in hand. It's the most basic, non negotiable part of the experience. You can't claim to specialize in Korean food, especially Korean fried chicken, and not serve it properly. Then came the soondubu. I wish I could've taken a picture to show how watery and unappetizing it looked. We didn't even need to taste it to know how bland it would taste. We were absolutely appalled. I tried taking two bites to see if it would grow on me but I genuinely could not see myself taking another bite of it without being disgusted. It tasted like water with a sprinkle of pepper flakes. This was the first time in my life I ever requested a restaurant to take the food away and cancel the order. They eventually did, but with no follow up, no apology, and no effort to ask for feedback. The interaction came off as unfriendly, despite me being polite the entire time. Between the food and the service, the whole experience left a bad taste. There are plenty of better options in the city, for both wings and Korean food, and do not recommend coming here.

Bulgogi Beef K-bap
Matthew C.

Been around since 2005. We got the bulgogi beef k-bap, army stew, and soy garlic and sweet & spicy wings. Everything was amazing and a total hidden gem for a satisfying, quick and casual meal. We definitely will be back.

Cute spot, great korean wings and friendly staff. The snow cheese was so good! Stumbled into this spot and sure glad we did. I will be back!

6 Wings - Sweet and Spicy (Left) and Soy Garlic (Right)
Vivian C.

3 words: Get the wings! My friend and I went on a Wednesday for lunch. Even though we were seated right away, there was a steady stream of people either dining in or ordering take out. That was the first good sign. The second was the friendly staff and comfortable ambiance. The whole set up gave it a casual pub-like feel. The music was not blasting. I would definitely come back to grab some wings/drinks with friends. Happy to finally find a decent Korean wings spot located outside of Ktown. Food We Tried: - Shrimp Ramen: Tasted good but expensive for what it was. - Bulgogi Beef Over Rice: Would not recommend. I was not a fan of the kimchi, the hard boiled egg had no taste (I wish it was an over easy egg), and the sauce was too watery for my liking. - Wings: The best thing in the menu! We were pleasantly surprised at the size of some of the wings, it was definitely worth the price. The soy garlic and the snow cheese were delicious! Curry didn't have much taste. The sweet and spicy was too sweet while the spicy soy garlic was too spicy.

6pc wings (spicy soy garlic, curry)
Sophia W.

Pretty good prices for good Korean fried chicken! Bulgolgi beef kimbap had very fresh ingredients, pretty big pieces. 6pc wings is very filling, I had spicy soy garlic and curry flavors and both were delicious! It's a casual restaurant with decent seating, you can be in and out pretty fast. The staff are extremely friendly.

Rianne A.

$12 wings (curry flavor is best, soy garlic next), army stew flavor p good. played katseye and blackpink MVs the entire dinner. was packed on weekday dinner. super close to central park so nice to stroll after :)

Korean fried chicken, fries, white rice, and the rice cake skewers.

The food was so so so good! The service was quick and the food came out hot and fresh. The place is small but super cozy! I visited NY for the first time in February and I can't wait to go back to have their fried chicken again.

Does their army stew have beef in it? Called the restaurant but no one bothered to pick up.

No, it doesn't. But it does have sausage, spam, and pork!

Anyone else here get a surcharge for eating in? They added $1 per meal for eating in. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. We tipped anyway, but just would like to know since they didn't do this the last time we ate here

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.

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.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but the galbi-jjim (갈비찜) and tteokbokki (떡볶이) were the standouts. The galbi-jjim was rich, tender, and deeply flavorful, while the tteokbokki had that satisfying, authentic Korean flavor I look for.
