We had the place to ourselves! The food was fresh and tasty. I recommend the Kalbi and the Bulgogi (of course) I believe you could ask for more sides, but I'm not 100% sure. The waiters were very attentive and helped us cook the meat. The place is so cute and cozy, perfect for a date. *I would recommend to call if you're a large party* read more

Kalbi House - inside - Korean Near Me - White Plains, New York

This restaurant is great! I think it's the best Korean restaurant in Westchester and Fairfield. We were surprised to see Kalbi Jim on the menu, and it was delicious. Seafood pancake was also really good with a lot of seafood. We got bbq beef brisket but it was a little bland. Service was great. Our waiter was super nice. The restaurant can be a bit busy, and it's a cozy restaurant. Highly recommend it. read more

Kalbi House - Korean Near Me - White Plains, New York

I've passed this place at least a hundred times in the 30 years I've lived in White Plains. I finally gave it a try. My guess is Kalbi House is reasonably authentic given the very high ratio of Korean clientele. Food was good but nothing memorable. The ambiance is definitely no frills. I've had better Korean BBQ. read more

Worst Dolsot Bibimbap I ever had. The egg was raw not fried and the dish was cold? How could it be cold when it's supposed to be served piping hot? It was served in a stone pot but there was zero heat. I should have known when it came out so fast. My friend's first time at a Korean restaurant and I felt awful both of our dishes were so bad. The rice was white and sticky, no flavor. No crispy rice bottom, what a damn disappointment. The meat was chunks of beef rather than ground. Shame on me for not speaking up and returning the dishes. The banchan was fishy, every dish had a fishy taste that overpowered and actually tasted old. read more

Kalbi House - Korean Near Me - White Plains, New York

I grew up in Somers, NY but have lived in Southern California since 1996. I use to spend a lot of time in White Plains, NY and at that time before 1989, there were no H-Marts in Westchester County, let alone Korean BBQ restaurants. A couple weeks ago I drove to try Kalbi House but ended up eating at the Korean restaurant inside the H-Mart food court, which is always a good option. Last night I tried Kalbi House before picking up a few items at H-Matt. I was the only person eating but that will never deter me as I know, Tuesday and Wednesday nights are typically slow for most restaurants. I discovered father and son purchased Kalbi House about a year ago and the son was working and was very nice and easy to talk to. I ordered the a la carte beef brisket and an order of kimchi jjigae. Both of which were good. The beef brisket was a bit small on the portion size for the price and the quality of meat was okay, it was not melt in your mouth like I am used to, hopefully they consider a new vender. Considering I am helping my Mom in Somers and Mahopac has an amazing new option now in Choi's BBQ (the owner lives in Flushing Queens so it is legit and his meat quality is too notch) i will stick with Choi's. My son works at Wang Cho Korean BBQ in Riverside, CA and their meat quality surpasses any a la carte menu. Price means absolutely nothing, it's all about quality. Living in Southern California you get so spoiled with all the ATCE options! I support all small businesses though and I wish Kalbi House all the best. I would eat here again when in the area. read more

Was craving korean bbq and this is pretty much the only one in the Westchester region. We came here without a reservation around 2p on a Saturday and with plenty of openings. There were street parking outside and were pretty easy to find. The restaurant is pretty small but typically korean. You immediately get a kbbq vibe. Our servers were efficient and nice, nothing to complain about. The food was pretty typical korean, exactly what we expected. Did not blow us away and definitely not one of the fancier and memorable korean bbq places, but has your standard stuff and will satisfy your cravings. I see why it could be rated poorly bc each order of bbq did not have that much meat in it yet it is more expensive than your usual kbbq prices... However, I think being the only one around the area gives them a pretty big advantage. I probably will come again for the convenience. Hope to have more food for what we pay for though in the future... read more

Ben wanting to try this place for a while and finally went with family. Place is small and cozy. Their menu has options for BBQ or you can order dishes. We decided to do the BBQ option and staff helped us with the cooking. Portions were good and loved the side dishes. Meat quality and seasoning was good. We also ordered fried rice and soup and they were so good. I do have to say, all the other tables got white rice but we did not, that's why we ordered the fried rice. I'm not sure if it depends on the dish. Although the service was good, I did think it was a little pricey for BBQ. Will have to go back to try the individual dishes read more

Kalbi House - Korean Near Me - White Plains, New York

Located about a block and a half up the street from the hartsdale h Mart this place is pretty authentic from a lot of experiences so far. Service was very pleasant and efficient. Nothing is really rushed between your appetizers and entrees and the little mixed platters of pickle that you usually get with traditional Korean food. I tried the lunch special box with the kalbi which was just right portion wise. Something I've not experienced previously at any of these joints was the cinnamon / ginger tea as a post meal apertif. read more

Fantasia meal with the family. Wait staff was attentive. Very clean and really a gem!

Great experience, filled up a bit on side dishes! It was a Thursday night, a few family members I had not seen in awhile. No wait time, seated right away, I have to admit some seating I felt was a little spaced too close but not enough to interrupt any meal time. Luckily other patrons were pretty quiet. Started with some nice hot sake and a beer. Could not remember the brands but will update next time. Ordered some gyoza and edamame to pair with the alcohol. Gyoza was fried with a light coating and still enough with a crisp in bite without it being overdone. For the Main you need to try the Korean BBQ here, you can have it cooked or cook it on the cook top yourself, it is an experience in itself. As a Korean BBQ, whatever main dishes you order for the BBQ comes with sides. Always love Bulkoki sometimes spelled Bulgogi was a great choice, Jae Yook Gooyee and of course Kalbi, I mean its in the name of the establishment! The Jae Yook Gooyee was marinated thin slices of pork belly, not really spicy but looks amazing even uncooked. I always like to add a pork option, seems to give variety to every meal and fat content tends to lead to tastier results. The Bulgogi and Kalbi are both prime rib but cut differently, bulgogi was more thinly sliced while the kalbi was larger cut pieces. Both marinated in a similar sauce, they both cook on the grill very fast and both super delicious. Now while it was Korean BBQ and sometimes portions do get smaller with time, inflation and etc., I can tell you that for a bigger framed person I could be satisfied with just 1 order if I were alone. The best part was all the side dishes that come with your entrees, and while it may not be advertised they are seemingly unlimited, just ask for more of a side dish. Now lets go through the list from top favorites to least, on top you have the small cut sweet potatoes, I am not sure what sauce they were soaked in, I am leaning towards sesame oil and soy but they are a good starchy add on to anything your eating there. Fish cakes one of my favorites, has a tiny bit of spice like from marinade but not to deter anyone away from trying. There were also sides of broccoli, spinach, bean sprouts, lettuce, and of course kimchi. You do always geta side of white rice but they also have some gochujang and another dip provided, however making your own lettuce wraps in addition to pairing it with rice is a suggestion to enjoy your meal more then just one way. It was a great experience, I do recommend stopping by, wait staff was attentive, food was good. I have to mention that parking in their parking lot is extremely limited if you are trying to go on a Friday/Sat. Sunday of course is free parking outside on the street and Weekdays more availability. I was having such a good time that I did forget to take a lot of photos, like I mentioned food did cook pretty quickly. Have fun and enjoy! read more

There's a reason they named this place after short ribs. It's a ridiculously awesome dish. I love this place from the cozy ambiance, to the service, to the table BBQs, and, especially, to the food. I'm a huge fan of the Kalbi BBQ and the Chapchae dish. That's all I need, but they still bring me awesome side dishes. The kimchi is fresh, the cucumber salad has a little sweet kick, bean sprouts are spot on, and the lettuce wraps never collapse. The side of rice has just the right amount of vinegar. Remember to cut your Kalbi with the scissors before it goes into your dish for the lettuce wrap. The waiters and waitresses will always be happy to help you cook, or cook for you, if you want. Remember to tip well. read more

No good again, we missed the original owner here, looks like they are 3/4 turned over and all new faces here. We been here many time since 15 yeas and met 3 past owners. This time I really want to say it is my last Time. The quality is really downhill here read more

Service here is excellent, where Daniel was considerate enough to bring us more of our favorite side dishes without us even asking for it, which was very sweet of him. The food is definitely on the pricier end, but the quality is definitely up there. The ambiance is very spacious with lots of seating so you don't feel overly cramped. We got the cold noodle, the kimchi stew, and the beef stone bowl, all of which was delicious! Thank you for reading and good luck! (: read more

It's been a long time since I've found a place I can rave about, and this is my place! Thank you Google! I was looking for a place to quench a hankering for Korean, and with gas prices rising I wasn't feeling the trek to Fort Lee or Queens, plus who wants to pay a toll. A little bit of searching on Google, and we found this place. It's my first time here & I gotta say it's nice that they had parking in the back & you don't have to feed a meter. On a Wednesday evening it was just our party & one other. The service here is attentive, friendly & plain perfect. There are plenty of tables, and a couple of TVs playing Korean movies or dramas, not sure? We ordered a seafood pancake, vegetable gyoza, shrimp tempura, eel over rice, and of course the kalbi with a couple of Korean beers. The ban chan was set & the food came out piping hot. I must say the food was delicious, the seafood was fresh & cooked perfectly. The food tasted authentically Korean. Only reason I mentioned authenticity was because after looking at their menu on Google, I thought they might be a Korean Japanese fusion, but they were not. We all agreed that this could be our new spot, no more driving over bridges for great Korean food! Also, for those who care to know, the women's toilet was spotless. There's literally nothing I can complain about. We all left here feeling full & happy, it was a great first experience. This is a local family owned business, they are originally from Queens & I'm so glad they moved here. Everyone treated us like we were regulars. We will most definitely be regulars after this. Happy Yelping! read more

Came in for lunch recently, and we were so pleasantly surprised! Dolsot bibim bop was legit. It came out sizzling hot and it was a very hearty dish with an abundance of ingredients. The rice at the bottom got all nice and crusty too, just like it should in these hot pots. It ended up being too much food for me, so my dining partner was more than happy to finish the rest. He liked it so much that he said he would order that dish the next time he comes in. Protip: it comes with a raw egg, but you can ask them to fry it instead, which they were more than happy to do for me. read more

On a cold day, Kalbi is the place to go to grab hot spicy soup, and BBQ, To Bad they didn't have Hot Pot where I can add my ingredients into the broth. Too bad they don't have a sampler of meat for the grill. I believe this is the only Korean bbq in white plains on central ave so can't go wrong, H Mart and K Town are different scenery. it's kind the pricy , the service is fast and quick; went on Sunday for lunch, wasn't too crowed . Nice cozy seating booth. read more

As a Korean food lover, this place should not be in business as is. We spent $360 in so called Korean food, that didn't resemble, taste or price like traditional Korean restaurant. I had to give one star because that's the only option I had, if I have it my way, at least negative 10 stars. Run as far away as possible from this Korean restaurant wannabe... read more

was told there was only going to be a 25 min wait for a table for 2 so we sat in the restaurant and waited. ended up being an hour 20 wait. the entire time they allowed a table to sit with their bill paid and talk for over 35 minutes which I find completely unacceptable. When you have a lot of parties waiting especially; there were about 8 to 9 people behind us in line waiting for a table. They also had several tables that they marked off as reserved the clearly the people they were reserved for were arriving late as 2 tables again remained vacant for over 35 minutes. For a place that is Korean BBQ, which generally encourages people to gather in large groups and mingle and stay for a while this place is frankly way too small. We didn't even get barbecue but still had to wait so long for a table. Our food did come out quickly when we got it but what made me feel weird was I got bibimbap and the waitress mixed it for me at the table which I've never seen done before and did not appreciate. Our waitress also never checked in on us until we had already been waiting for a while to get the check my dish also was way too sweet. not worth the hassle at all The food was decent, but the wheat, and then the lack of consideration, for the way that we had made it completely not worth it, and I won't come back for that reason definitely a way to respectfully ask a party to leave if they have paid their bill and it's a very busy night and I'm just frankly offended that it was not done read more

4.5 Stars I chose Kalbi House to meet with our Korean-born friend who lives in Portchester - i decided to meet her here, instead of her coming down to the City (and trying to navigate parking in K-Town , and to give her a connection home-away-from-home close to her). Everything we ordered passed the 'authenticity' test. The broth of my Ji Gae vegetarian soup stew, and the cod stew (be mindful of the bones) also passed the 'authenticity' test. My husband and I have tried to cook Korean at home and can attest that what we had for dinner at Kalbi house is a standard that we were not even remotely close. Our friend was impressed by the quality of the side dishes - also, all 'authentic'- i.e., simply prepared , pickled sprouts, vegetables, of course the ubiquitous kimchee. The service was fabulous and friendly. We enjoyed an amuse-bouche ginger cinnamon tea for dessert, along with Godiva dark chocolates. There is parking behind the restaurant and the restaurant is wheelchair friendly (myself). A memorable evening all-around. read more

Wow! Hands down the best Kalbi I've ever had! Kalbi house is a small and homey Korean restaurant located down the street from hmart ~5 minute drive. We ordered Kalbi and bibimbap to share and the portions were more than enough for 2 people. The Kalbi was so flavorful and cooked just right. The dish came with traditional Korean side dishes and a small bowl of rice. Service was great and bathrooms were clean (mentioning because another review suggested otherwise). Will return! read more

4.5 stars - .5 because it's quite pricey but they don't cheap out on the quality of the appetizers, and they ask you if you want more which is a major plus. The meat is a little bland because they assume you will use the rice, lettuce and soybean paste, which is a huge plus for me, otherwise it would've been too salty. I loved it but that's just something you will need to be aware of if you were just planning on munching on rice and meat. The largest attraction might just be their beautiful restroom. Definitely well kept and is an absolute comfort. read more

I have been here for twice. My first visit was OK but not so special. My second visit was awesome. The food tasted so good this time that I almost thought that they may have hired a new experienced chef or something. The side dish was amazing - just like what I would imagine as "mom's food" in my hometown. The main menu we had (Kimchi soup, Daegu Maeun Tang, oxtail bone soup) all tasted authentic. People who work here have lots of happiness, joy, and welcoming spirits in their face. I just loved how we were treated by them. Amazing lovely people. This is the "must-go" restaurant for me when I visit White Plains. read more

Came in for dinner a few weeks ago and was very disappointed. The portion size for bulgogi were small and expensive. We ordered two bulgogi so that we could grill the meat at the table, because if you only order one they cook it in the back. I could not believe that what we had was TWO portions and the price that came with it. The meat itself was flavorless. Service was also not good, felt like a nuisance to the staff. Will not be back. read more
