Let's meat is one of the best all you can eat Korean barbecue places, especially in Manhattan where there are not too many all you can eat KBBQ restaurants. I would definitely recommend coming here with a group. It's really fun to share all the different types entrees and sides together, I would definitely recommend making a reservation because this place was absolutely packed, but the service was still amazing!

TIP: They are very strict with their 100 minute rule and they want your entire party to be here. 7 people to a single grill, once you hit 8+ you will get two grills. If you have a no-show you must eat the cost of that person, or be moved to a smaller table with just 1 grill. TIP: They hold your table for 10 mins after your assigned reservation time. It's super busy and the wait staff are holding it down keeping up with the constant influx of people and the packed house (we came on a Friday at 7pm). It's AYCE so expect AYCE quality but given that, they offer a good variety of items and offer a signature option that gives you more seafood (octopus, squid) and japchae. You get unlimited rice and tteokbeokki with the standard deal. Lots of banchan with refills, corn cheese. I advise bringing a smaller group so there's a higher chance they will all show. Otherwise you may run into trouble and be forced to eat the cost of extra people like we were. It's unfortunate because emergencies happen. read more

I've been to other locations in other states, and I have to say that the others were better. I wasn't too impressed with the beef options here and at other locations I can get the seafood for no additional price. The pork belly was also on the drier side. The star of the show was the pork jowl! I would go back for that one. I also don't know if they would swap out the pan during the meal, which was a downside because one of my friends doesn't eat pork and we ideally don't want the meats to touch too. They are a cheaper option compared to other AYCE kbbq in ktown but I feel like the quality wasn't quite there for me. read more

Let's Meat - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Don't know why my post got removed ... I've been here maybe 4 or 5 times already in the past. I came here the other day for the first time in over a year but I feel like my experience has gone downhill. I cant really eat as much as I used to when I first came here when the restaurant first opened. I know its all you can eat but seems that the portion of the meat they bring out has gotten less and the meat wasn't memorable. Also, dont bother ordering he non-meat food on the menu such as the spicy rice cake and spicy tofu stew because they are just mediocre Also, our server was cooking the onion and it fell on the table and he put it back on the grill. I dont think the tables are that clean The inside of the bathroom is very dirty. And as I was waiting for someone near the bathroom I saw a small roach crawl into the kitchen. I cant imagine the kitchen hygiene read more

Everything about this restaurant is great....the food, the service, the prices, the atmosphere.

I really loved the all you can eat vibes. This restaurant did not fall short of bringing out everything we needed in a timely manner. The meats were very tasty. At the end of dinner, I felt very satisfied by the experience. read more

Standard kbbq spot in ktown, not too crowded, accepts reservations. Staff members (front desk, servers, grill staff) were all extremely helpful and friendly. They were attentive throughout the entire night, providing refills and cooking, only issue is with the quality/variety of food. We ordered the premium package but felt it was definitely not worth it. Just stick with the standard menu. Thin beef brisket and pork belly were decent. read more

The cost matches cooking that takes time and skill. The menu items satisfied completely, yet Let's Meat truly impresses with its value and personnel quality. I experienced unknown components in this premium meal. I like food that's honest about what it is. The menu is wonderful and won't empty your wallet; ideal situation. read more

I'm here to say that we MEAT again. It has been a little over a year since revisiting New York and I have to say that this place is still HIM. The service is IMPECCABLE. I mean I barely wiped my mouth with a napkin and before I know it, someone came by and gave me another napkin. They cook for you, they give you more salad, sides, water, and food comes out fast. Every meat was well seasoned and the place is inexpensive for New York restaurant prices. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat. The whole staff synergy is above anything I have ever seen. If you want the bang for the buck and premium quality, I would come here. We waited only 30 mins for a party of 2 and it was worth the wait and more. read more

I tried coming once without a reservation and the wait was 2-3 hours so I left. This time, I made a reservation in advance and was seated within 10-15 minutes of my reservation time. The menu is on a QR code and you choose between signature or classic and everybody has to choose the same option. My party went with the classic, running at $42.99 a person not including tax or tip for 100 minutes max of eating.  We requested one order of each item listed on the menu and were quickly discouraged from doing that for whatever reason. We were warned that any unfinished food would be charged extra, but if you know my friends and I, we could eat. The options of meats are pretty limited. How are beef short ribs or galbi not on the menu of a Korean BBQ restaurant? The grill starts off with corn cheese and mixed vegetables. The first meat they cook is the thinly sliced brisket, which is one of my favorite cuts to order at Korean BBQ. It cooked quicky and had a nice char, but was chewy and not tender. The pork belly was just ok. It was tough and had a bit of gaminess to it. They must have had excess pork jowl in the back and plopped a big plateful that took up half the grill. Oil spattered on to the whole table as it was cooking. We also had the beef steaks and it felt like chewing on rubberbands. In the end, I lost track of what meat was what. Almost every cut of meat was chewy, and it was not the fault of the server who cooked it. I have to say the staff that helped cook the food provided great service, and so did the banchan girls (they made sure the kimchi, pickled radish, lettuce, etc were refilled without needing to ask). This is why I upped my rating to 2 stars. Last call is announced 1 hour in. We were asked if we wanted more food, but we couldn't decide what more to get because we didn't find any cut of meat to be outstanding. I found myself enjoying the loud music while sipping beer and soju from the somaek tower and eating the banchans with the corn cheese and white rice more than the actual meats. Let's not Meat here again. read more

Great AYCE Korean BBQ located in Koreatown. Surrounded by lots of restaurants and bars. Roughly $50pp for AYCE deal, with lots of fresh meat options. Plenty flavorful beef choices, must try the hanger steak!! The cheese corn, kimchi, banchan were all fresh and high quality. Beer tower is a must when going with a crowd, made up of 3 beers and 1 soju. Plenty seating available, and servers are attentive. Note on busy days, there will be a wait and they do not take reservations, and generally strict with the eating limit. read more

Amazing food and amazing service! Everything is cooked for you and comes out in rounds. I especially liked the chicken, the squid, the shrimp and the glass noodles. They had a DJ at night which really added to the fun vibe! One of my favorite AYCE in the city read more

We really enjoyed let's meat. We had a lot of excellent food on our NY trip but let's meat topped it all. This was much better than the dinner we had the night before at Namkeen in Williamsburg, which wasn't great... We highly recommend! read more

Let's Meat - The boys - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Wow! I'm so impressed with their all you can eat selections and their service is ayce! Great price for what one gets. There is a time limit, but it's aplenty - 100 minutes. We were stuffed within an hour. They cook it for you and it's so great to have them do the cooking. Although, I must admit that I like to control the meat type when it comes to the steak at medium rare vs well done. All good because I didn't have to cook this time on KBBQ, which was adorned! My favorite was the steak. It had a great bite to it and went well with the sauces that they provided as dip. Second, would be their pork belly. I usually don't order their tofu soup or additional banchan because I want to leave room for the meats, but their spicy tofu soup, really was well flavored. It complimented the meat flavors. Enter hungry, left happy! read more

So much fun and the food was so good. We were worried that it would be too heavy, but it was perfect for our group of four. The brisket and rib eye were standouts. The kimchi, rice, and sauces were good accompaniments. Service was very quick and efficient, and the place packed up quickly. It was very warm inside. read more

Lots of food. Stuffed. 6 of us to celebrate a birthday and we all had plenty. We did the $42 all you can eat and just went down the list of all the food. The pork chop was probably my favorite. They cook it all right in front of you. Very well cooked. Nice friendly service. They always brought out nice ice collllld water. It was awesome. Always refilled the sauces. Loud K-pop music, which makes sense to play, but it irked me. Volume? Style? Maybe I gotta culture myself more. In and after an hour and a half. read more

Wow, what an experience. We went on a Friday night and there was a long wait as expected, about 2 hours. Once we were closer to time, we were allowed to stay inside by the bar for a couple of drinks before being called in to sit. From the start, the service was very efficient and helpful. They grill the meat for you. Considering the price and it being AYCE, the meat quality and portion was better than expected. Pretty packed on weekend nights and noisy but creates the ambiance for a bustling kbbq spot. read more

Love this place for food!!!! They are so so quick , we just sat and they started bringing condiments. When we choose which selection of BBQ we want, they brought it up immediately. The meat was very fresh, the person who fried the meat for us, did great job. Not over fried , not undercooked. Just perfect. The only thing is I wish the shrimps would have been peeled(((. We will be back for sure . read more

I have got to say, for $60 total even though that's a bit expensive, food here was pretty damn good! I especially loved the marinated chicken and the sirloin steak *chefs kiss gurl*. What's cool is that they will actually make it right then and there for you, so you don't have to worry so much about making it yourself. You have a set time limit and if there is a good amount of meat you leave left over you will be charged for the waste of food! I came with a group of 10 and it was overall a great time! One of my new fav K-BBQ spots in NYC. Note--if you arrive later than 10 minutes they will forfeit your reservation! read more

Fantasticcc Korean bbq. The cuts of meat are high quality and the meat is well marinated

Pretty fun to go to from time to time, with another person or with a small group! Order from a slip of paper and they cook the meat for you. read more

This place is quite a popular one in ktown and I can definitely see why! AYCE with pretty quality cuts of meat! We did not make a reservation but arrived shortly before 5:30. We did wait maybe 10-15 minutes for a table but once we sat down, eveything was great! We opted for the regular AYCE (not the premium) and we were stuffed from all the banchans that they provided and refilled very diligently to all the meats we ordered. Our waitress was super nice, friendly and gave us a run down of all the meats and started us off with the non marinated meats. all the non marinated meats were honestly my favorite. Super tasty right off the grill or with a touch of sauce they provide. We also got a round of the marinated meat but everyone agreed it was a tad salty. We ordered some rice cakes and steamed eggs on the side. Also some rice for the meat and a bottle of soju because why not!! As our waitress was cooking and moving some of the plates around, the sauce of something was knocked over and spilled on my jeans. She was super apologetic and offered a bottle of soju on her. That was a nice gesture! read more

Mediocre AYCE KBBQ in the Ktown area. For $42.99 per person with the classic menu, the offerings really are quite limited with not much of a wow factor. Meats are decent at best, with the best items probably being the pork jowl and thinly sliced brisket. In both the classic and signature ($48.99) menu, they don't have galbi of any kind. Ribeye was again maybe decent at best, but not great. Chicken was super dry and bland. Soondubu was like the la croix of soondubus - reminiscent of what a soondubu should taste like, but far from delivering on it in terms of flavor. Service is attentive but a bit rushed at times. They had a 60-minute ordering limit, and our server really cooked meats endlessly and made it clear we were close to time. Friendly, but rushed for sure. read more

AYCE bbq is hard to come by in NYC so I was excited to try this out! First off, be prepared to wait at least 1.5-2 hours during dinnertime! It felt like forever before we sat down to eat. Thankfully, the service was fantastic! The servers did a great job refilling the meat and all the sides and sauces. We ordered the classic meats which included brisket, pork ribs, sirloin steak, spicy beef. Overall, service was great and the food was good but not amazing. I've had better AYCE Kbbq. read more

Amazing value for your money in the heart of Ktown. For $48.99 (approximately $60ish after tax and tips)/pp, you get all the meat your heart's desires. If you go to a regular Korean BBQ restaurant, that's like a dish and half. To be fair, you won't get premium cut meat here, definitely not Kalbi, but all the items they offer are very good and delicious. Definitely make reservation as the line was ~20 deep on a recent Friday night. Service is so attentive, our water bottles never dipped below halfway point and all of our sides were filled promptly. They would stop by and help cook the meat, which is also rare for a busy Friday night at an AYCE restaurant. Bottom line, highly highly recommend! read more

The food was great and the staff were amazing! The company I was with enjoyed their food and drinks. The atmosphere was a little loud cause we couldn't hear ourself talking to each other but the meat kept on coming. read more

If you're looking for an AYCE Korean BBQ spot in NYC, I'd highly recommend this place. We came at 5:30pm on a Friday night, and we waited 45 minutes for a table for two. It's roomier inside than I had imagined, and it was very clean. We went for the Signature menu for $48.99, which comes with a few more premium meat options. We really enjoyed the NY Strip, Marinated Shrimp, and Spicy Squid from the Signature menu. From the Classic Menu, we really liked the Beef Thin Sliced Brisket. In addition, the sauces and sides were good. Our server was kind and attentive, which enhanced our overall experience. This is probably my favorite AYCE KBBQ spot now! read more

Though it may seem a little pricey, I can promise you it's worth it! AYCE spots are hard to come by, but this is one to not miss. I personally loved the teriyaki chicken and the fish/ rice cakes. The waiters are super kind and personable and it's just a fun place to go get some grub! Don't expect a place to take a bunch of IG pics, do wear loose clothing to accommodate the food baby you've developed! read more

No Meat. No Life. This declaration and affinity for meat greets diners as they enter Let's Meat in Koreatown NYC. Yes, my reviews is a bit tardy. Alas, I guess this is better late than never, Dear Reader. COVID PRECAUTIONS (during visit in Nov 2021): 1. Proof of vaccination required 2. Masks required to enter restaurant NOTES: 1. My friend and I ordered the lunch AYCE, which is available daily from 12pm to 3:00pm. 2. Lunch AYCE = $28.99 3. The staff are also the "chefs" and cook the meats for you on the grill, which is a special type of grill imported from Korea (per their website). AYCE!: Some of the meats we chose on their lunch menu included the pork belly, brisket, and spicy pork. The meal also included vegetables and kim chee, of course. A bottle of soju completed our delicious meal. SERVICE: Quite good. Our server/cook was a capable and friendly young lady. She explained about ordering, answered all our questions, and provided a great recommendation for the soju (sorry I forgot which flavor, I think it might have been peach). Good service overall. BOTTOM LINE: A great AYCE meal in NYC. We left very full and content. Will surely be back on the next NYC trip! Recommended. read more

(Overall: 93% | A) - This is one of the handful korean bbq places I found in new york. The restaurant is rather large and nicely decorated, with a clean bathroom. The service was good too, and they actually help cook the meat for you. (Food: 92.5% | A) - In terms of actual food, there were a reasonable amount of options, with my favorites being the nonspicy bulgogi, pork jowl, and brisket. Some of the brisket and pork cheek is variable in quality, but reasonable overall. Even the chicken breast was good, and did not have the undesirable texture normally present in chicken breast. The sides had added a lot of balance as they either had a creamy or acidic component to help cut the fat. Very satisfied overall! read more

Let's Meat - KBBQ Feast! 5/5. IG: @amei.eats - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This was much better than my expectations for an AYCE venue with great ventilation, solid meats, and fast service. Be sure to get the Signature option which comes with 1 order each of strip steak (yes an entire strip steak) and shrimp, each, along with japchae and squid. It's worth the extra $6 - the strip steak is good quality and a generous 12-14 oz cut. If you are in a larger group, be sure to request one steak PER PERSON (they will try to talk you out of it but just politely ignore that). The other meat options like the bulgolgi and hanger are solid - I preferred the unmarinated beef cuts more and the hanger was solid (flavorful with just the right amont of chew). If you need a bit of white meat, the spicy chicken and pork jowl are good, lighter options. The only weakness here are the sides - the corn and cheese is pretty meh, as is the japchae. They are edible but that's about it. They also no longer have the seafood pancakes and skip the spicy fish cakes and rice cakes and tofu stew to save your stomach for the meats. The actual banchan is solid and the veggies fresh and nicely marinated. Service was efficient but they did try to incessantly talk us out of ordering food (which we nicely ignored and we did finish EVERYTHING - much to their chagrin - even our rice bowls) and, as soon as our 60 min of ordering time was up, try to rush us out, including a flippant drop of the check on our table. Overall, it's a decent option to grab some solid meat options in KTown at a reasonable price IF you are okay with ignoring the constant rushing by the staff. Will definitely be back for the strip steak again! read more

Imagine this scenario: you're in NYC on a Friday night and trying to grab dinner with a group of five people without a reservation... Thankfully we didn't need one at Let's Meet and were seated quickly. They do ask that your entire group to be there before seating you, with the option to get seated without them BUT the time limit starts the moment you're seated. They are strict on adhering to the time limit of ordering (60 mins) and eating food (90 mins) but the servers are very attentive and bring your orders of meat out pretty quickly after you order. I was also pleasantly surprised that they cook the meat for you on the grill. The quality of meat was good, my favorites being the jowl and the brisket. The type of grill they use is interesting as it's an elevated stone grill, with a hole to capture all the oil and fat drippings. They have an exhaust pipe right above the grill to absorb some of the KBBQ smell (though you still get some in your clothes and hair). We were a group of five seated at a four-seater table, so I felt like the table was a bit cramped. The good part of the waiter cooking the meat for you was that the raw meat orders were placed on an end table adjacent to our table so it didn't take up too much space. It was also a bit pricey for AYCE but hey, you're in New York. They didn't have some KBBQ staples like rice paper or steamed egg. read more

Really yummy place to get AYCE kbbq in the city! We went for lunch, which was $28.99 per person. I think this is a pretty good deal especially for ayce in Manhattan, kbbq can get pretty expensive in the city. Their lunch hours are from 12:00- 3:00pm. It wasn't busy on a Monday afternoon and we were seated immediately. They personally cook the meats at the table, our waiter was very attentive and our meats/sides were served quickly. We ordered a bunch of brisket, and the quality of the meat was very good, not too fatty. Our waiter cooked the meats very well too! I also really liked the banchan selection they offered, everything was so tasty! We also tried their spicy tofu stew which was just as yummy, not too spicy either! Solid place overall for kbbq, would definitely come back! read more

Decided to try a new spot for KBBQ last night and ended up at Let's Meat. We put our name down and ended up waiting around 45 minutes for our table. The three of us chose to go with the more premium all you can eat option since price-wise there wasn't too much of a difference and ended up leaving very full! We also got the beer and soju tower to complement our meat selection. We enjoyed our meal and think it's a solid option if you're in the mood for All You Can Eat. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! I've ate at other kbbq places in other major cities but this is highlight for sure. For the price you pay, the meat options are incredible. I went on a Sunday afternoon with friends on a rainy day and the tofu stew was such a perfect dish to have. The staff is so friendly we felt we were being "mom-ed" the entire time. We kept splashing tofu stew by accident and within seconds a staff member would be by our side with a wet wipe and napkins. Embarrassing for us but we truly appreciated the family feel of the service. Meat was high quality and staff will make sure it is cooked properly if this is your first kbbq experience! Would return again everytime. read more

Came in for a wednesday dinner and there was no wait for us at all which was nice! Inside was already full so i think we were just lucky coz when we finished there was already a line. Not too long but a line nonetheless lol The service was quick and the staff explained to us how the experience goes as it was our first time. It was eat all you can and we were able to order for an hour and 45 mins to dine that way they could also accommodate others while doing time management.There was only 3 of us and the times given were reasonable for us. Staff cooked the meats for and was great in dividing the portions so all three of us can enjoy the food as soon as they were cooked. The meat choices were also good. We enjoyed the hanger steak, the kalbi and pork belly the most although everything was seasoned/marinated well. Banchan was ok too and they did include a side of corn and cheese. Overall not a bad experience. This place is definitely good for even bigger groups. read more
