    steak and 2. BBQ Rice Bowl
    Maisune E.

    a solid place in a solid korean food court. nice to see that this tray was $19.99 in manhattan. if you want good kbbq without the whole sit down, then this is a reliable spot. i wanted a different flavor of sauce but i couldn't articulate it. it needs like more savory vibes. the soup was very spicy, i enjoyed as much as i could before i couldn't but that's on me and my annoying gut. the service was quick and helpful.

    I always love Korean BBQ and can honestly say this place was average. The service and ambiance was good for food court standards. I ordered the bulgogi bowl combo that came with a soup. The bulgogi was standard and the portion was small on the meat vs rice ratio. You also don't get the choice of soup which was upsetting because the only option that you have was the super spicy soup. Unfortunately I was unable to eat super spicy and was only left with that option. For like $16.99......., it would have been nice to have a little more bulgogi to rice ratio and have an option for none spicy soup.

    Bbq curry chicken
    Shamario P.

    This place was a definitely a must try for me every time I went to Food Gallery 32 in k town. It always smells good when I walk by it. It's one of the small vendors in food gallery and they serve a variety of different bbq meals. The curry bbq caught my eye as I never considered to mix bbq and curry. It was decent but definitely better curry around the area. I believe it's just what I ordered but the server was nice the entire time. I'd def recommend trying it if you have the chance. It was an interesting choice.

    Order of BBQ Chicken Curry Rice w/ the Curried Rice & BBQ Chicken served separately but still very delicious
    Lonnie K.

    The BBQ Curry Rice ($16.99) tastes very delicious and is very fulfilling indeed nonetheless, just not what I have expected from seeing the menu pic or by reading the food description. In fact, I find it as bit of misleading in a way. What I have originally thought: BBQ Chicken Curry Over Rice meaning the rice and chicken would be drenched in curry sauce. What I actually got: BBQ Chicken in a tray-like dish served with a decent-size bowl of curry with rice separately on the side. Umm certainly not what I've expected nor pictured in my mind but okay, I guess it will have to do. Service tends to be fast and lady seems to be friendly. You can pay with credit/debit card or cash. Food will be ready in 10-12 mins. They'll hand you a rectangular buzzer and the receipt after you've paid & placed your order. Buzzer will then vibrate & flash in red when it's time to go pick up your food. Ambiance wise is just another vendor/booth inside Food Gallery 32. Restroom is on the 3rd floor of food court. Nothing more and nothing less as you can see. The price range is considered as fairly reasonable because this is K-Town after all despite inflation times and that prices have generally gone up for anything including food nowadays. Curry tastes more like Japanese-styled which is on the sweeter and thicker side but I wouldn't have minded if it has a spicier kick to it. There're some bits of carrots and potatoes which I appreciate. However, three pieces of broccoli and some diced scallions look rather sad on top of the curried rice because they could have offered more veggies in the dish. My suggestion would be to add more variety of veggies like zucchini, snow peas, cauliflower, eggplant, onion, bell peppers and maybe even chickpeas as well. Another thing is that, I would've liked to see more rice included since I don't think that's actually an entire order of rice to begin with. Moreover, the ratio of rice vs curry isn't quite balanced out (meaning it's not split 50/50) ~ more like 50% curry + 40% rice + 10% the so-called few pieces of veggies. I did enjoy the food in the end. I might try getting other dishes next time. Lastly, I still think they should definitely fix the wording & put a more accurate pic to match what it exactly looks like on the menu. Therefore, nobody would be able to say that the outcome doesn't even look like anything in comparison to the stuff from the menu. |*******[END]*******|

    Ate here today for lunch by myself after picking up my pair of solar eclipse glasses at B&H. I had brought the BBQ pork belly over rice and asked to add a sunny side up egg. It had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and great. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    Pork belly platter and kalbi with noodles
    Sandy T.

    Located inside Food Gallery 32, a food court in Korea town, on the first floor to the left. This is a quick, casual place for food. Everything was flavored nicely, especially the pickled side dishes, but the pork belly texture was too soft. Would've been much better crispy. The kalbi was delicious. You bus your own dishes after. There is a disposal room toward the front entrance of the court next to the stairs.

    Tried the three meats bowl and thought the pork was good but the chicken was lacking. It was pretty slow on a weekend as well. Overall, it was okay

    4. Curry Rice Combo
    Chris S.

    I wish I could give this a 3.5. I'll give it a 4 because I didn't hate it. I was just underwhelmed. I paid $19 for the curry bbq pork bowl and the quality didn't match the price. While the food was decent it just felt like it was lacking. I couldn't say if it was the flavor or as I mentioned the quality. If it was a few dollars cheaper then I'd have no problems with what I got. It was decent tasting food and with a decent portion. However for $19 I expect more than decent. I don't think I would go back based on the quality of food I got even if it wasn't a bad meal.

    Bibim rice bowl
    Katie G.

    I got the bibimp rice bowl. It was delicious but my only complaint was that they did not have a side of gochujang. I'd recommend going to another stand to buy some or even coming with your own.

    If there's a long queue for Kobe Bryant's signature, that's a Kobe-queue. All of the Korean eateries and stalls inside Manhattan's shiny new and amazing Food Gallery 32 are pretty excellent, and most of them are Korean - this one has Korean BBQ. It's not the best you'll ever have (unlike my Barbie), but it's a lot cheaper than most that you'll have (unlike my Barbie), especially in New York City - and I appreciate it along with all the other great stalls in this excellent food court.

    Beef bibimbap
    Stephanie Q.

    I came here a little before closing, and they only took cash. I ordered the bibim rice bowl, and they had already run out of most of the meats. The only meat they had was pork, so I made do with that. I like the fact that they guy prepared my food right after ordering so it was nice and fresh. It came with a spicy soup, that was very very spicy. The food was just average, it was not bursting with flavor. The portion size was not big at all. For the price I paid, I expected more food.

    1. BBQ Rice Platter
    Hui L.

    I read the rave reviews about this place so decided to try it out. I settled on the bbq rice platter...and was really disappointed with what I got. Basically paid $15 for white rice, beansprout soup and corn, beansprouts and shredded carrots. It was a meager amount of bulgogi (the meat I ordered). It tasted standard and I regretted my purchase. Maybe I should've walked further to the back and ordered bulgogi over rice from there instead.

    Eel BBQ rice bowl (top, $14.99) and BBQ wrap with bulgogi meal (bottom, $11.99)
    Juliana T.

    I'd first learned of Kobeque when I stumbled across their Yelp page and saw that they have a Korean BBQ burrito (hello, delicious!) This tiny food stall is located inside Food Gallery 32, a food court in K-Town with primarily Korean food options. We came on a Thursday afternoon for lunch, when the place was not terribly busy. We had the BBQ wrap with bulgogi ($11.99) and the eel BBQ rice bowl ($14.99). The wrap comes with a side of chips and mild salsa, and the bowl comes with some pickled radish, cucumber kimchi, and some kind of broth with bean mung sprouts. Note that Kobeque does not sell any drinks, but you can always visit another stall that does while you wait for your food to be prepared. The food so very delicious, especially for a fast food stall! Both the bowl and the wrap were PACKED with flavor and had the Korean signature balance of sweet and savory. Yum, yum, oh my god yum. My only complaint with regard to the food is that the wrap had a bit too much liquid in it that dripped all over the place while we were scarfing it down. Service is a little slow, but not terrible for the lunch rush. Seating is limited on the 1st floor (where Kobeque is located), but you can take your food upstairs where there is more space.

    This BBQ spicy pork at Kobeque! And it is so tasty  the pork is nice and tender with that kick of spice.

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!

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found the restaurant moderately crowded. We were greeted promptly and seated upon entry. I found the space comfortable and relaxed. Our waiter was polite and attentive. We ordered the corn bread as an appetizer. I prefer sweet cornbread versus jalapeño, so it wasn't my thing. However, my cousin is the opposite and she really enjoyed it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, greens, and biscuit. I didn't care for the greens, but the biscuit and pulled pork was excellent. My sister had the ribs, greens, and dirty rice. She didn't like any of her food. She said the ribs had a lot of gristle. There was very little meat on the bone. I tasted the rice and agreed with her assessment. It wasn't that good. Our cousin had the chicken, mac-n-cheese, and baked beans. She liked her food. My cousin had been to Virgil's before many years ago and said this experience mirrored past ones. We all ordered dessert as well. i had the strawberry shortcake, which wasn't great. The strawberries were fresh, and I liked the whipped cream, but the "shortcake" was actually the same biscuit that was served with my meal. It wasn't sweet enough and just didn't work well. I ended up picking over the dessert, so most of it went to waste. My sister had the key lime pie which she didn't like. My cousin had the banana pudding which she enjoyed. Overall, the experience got mixed reviews, but I'd visit Virgil's again in the future for sure. The bill ended up being about $150 plus, if I recall correctly, because we ordered alcoholic beverages as well.

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).
