Solid beer garden at the end of the street in K-Town! You get in by receiving a wristband from the staff and then order by scanning a QR code on the menu for the staff to bring drinks/food to your table. The drinks are pretty typical NY prices; I got a Maiden Korea Beer for $12 which I quite enjoyed. The cocktails my friends got were a good mix of Soju and fruit flavors. (I would definitely try one next time I'm here) Good place to sit down and try some unique drinks when the weather is permitting!

My friends and I wanted to come here last month, but it was close to the time they were closing. We finally came to this beer garden on a Saturday night around 9:45pm. We got seated in a booth. I liked the dividers between tables. You can order the food, drinks, and pay tip on their website through the QR code. Then the waiter comes with your orders. I love how you don't have to wait for a waiter to take your order. The only downfall is they have portable bathrooms (dark and stinky) and mosquitoes will bite you if your legs/feet are exposed.

The best dishes here - skewers and fried mushrooms. You can ignore the raw octopus in this photo because it tastes awful.

I have very mixed feelings about this place - First of all - it's closed most of the time, in very sharp contrast with Love in the other corner of the intersection of 32nd and 5th - Love is a Korean BBQ place that is always crowded and busy, though this place is always closed and dark. Their opening hours seem top-secret. Also, don't forget, this is an outdoor beer garden that has all its dishes outsourced. There is no tap water and if you are thirsty and don't drink alcohol, you will be doomed here. All their dishes are in plastic containers, which not only look so cheap but also sinful for the environment. However, their skewer dishes taste so good, especially the steaks. So do the fried mushrooms. I really want to know which restaurant in Ktown provides the skewer dishes to this place. That place must deserve a Michelin star!

How cute is this beer/food garden at the entrance of Koreatown? Love that you can order beer, soju, cocktails and bites from 2 local restaurants. The place is super cute with lots of separated tables and pretty lights for the evening. Support your local businesses!

At the corner of 32nd st and 5th ave sits a beer garden. Yes, a beer garden in K-Town... They serve their own beer as well as other korean beers and cocktails and soju; Food comes from the surrounding businesses; They do a Porter John setup for bathroom; and Everything is done via a qr code ordering system that's attached to your table so they know where to bring the food and drinks. 1. Decor (1 of 1 star) Thoughtful blue and yellow color scheme with white rocks lining the floors... Tropical style plants spread throughout...wrist band giving for age check... Picnic style tables that sits 6 comfortably 2. Staff (1of 1 star) Uniformed with fun branded shirts, the staff is at call through their online ordering system...very responsive... 3. Price (1 of 1 star) Cost was on par with the rest of K-Town... tipping is done once again through the online ordering system so no need to worry about leaving anything at the table. 4. Food (1.5 of 2 stars) So food comes from Kushi Kushi and Gopchang Story, you order it via the qr code, they deliver it to maiden, then maiden brings it to you....awesome! The selection is what makes me give it high ratings, bc you want sharable finger foods and not super messy foods that can't be eating while standing or moving around. The negative was that Gopchang didn't serve until 530pm and we were there just before 5, so maiden refunded us that portion of our order. Rounding up, 5 stars for this initial go-around....onto the next time!

Was really excited about this outdoor beer garden opening in ktown, but it was more of a miss for me. The prices of the drinks are pretty standard in NYC, but only worth it to get their custom cocktails. We absolutely love the food from the restaurants you can order from, so we were pretty excited to have dinner here too. Not anticipating this, but the food actually came out in take-out containers and if you know, food from Gopchang in a take-out container just isn't the same as the grill. Looking back on it, the take-out containers make sense, but adding that together with the price of the drinks, the overall experience is not worth it for me.

Nice spot in the summer to drink with friends. Food is ordered from restaurants nearby so it might take awhile but overall nice vibes.

The drinks here at Maiden Korea are so yummy!!!! I tried the Wild Baby's Breath and Grape Ivy. I can't choose which I like the best! I love the vibe of this place; it gives off such summery vibes and feels like you're not in the middle of K Town. The food is pretty yummy as well. I came here twice in one day, that's how much I enjoyed it!

Love their cocktails and the outdoor beer garden yet somewhat chic vibe. Super friendly folks too. Would def come back. Cocktails are like 16$ each for like a good size so no complaints there.

Grape ivy (too strong), maiden Korea (good), wild baby's breathe (refreshing & good)

It's a cool beer garden spot new to ktown! We were gifted with cool bracelets and checked out this place when they had just opened. We put our names down on a waiting list for a group of 3 and got seated in about 20 minutes. You scan the QR code and place your order & pay online. When we went there wasn't that big of food options (I think they added more options now) so we got the large intestine spicy rice cakes which was good, but when I needed water to cool down the spice it was hard to get a waiter to come to our table. That being said, we got the grape ivy, maiden Korea beer, baby's breathe - the friend who had grape ivy thought it was too strong but I liked my baby's breathe. Beer was refreshing too. The drinks were ~$16 each, which is standard for ktown price. I recommend coming here with a big group of friends to enjoy the outdoor weather as each table is pretty sizable and had good vibes & music.

Can be easy to miss if youre not looking for it (especially in my case as they have scaffolding…read moreoutside right now). It has a very chic atmosphere when you first walk in. 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.

Vibes of the place are nice!! Food is standard Korean food, nothing extraordinary. Had a lot of…read moredrink options - Soy & garlic wings: 10/10, flavor is great, and wings were juicy - Sweet potato fries: 8/10, gigantic thick fries. Good but I prefer my fries thinner. Sauce was meh - Seafood rose tteokbokki: 8/10, super creamy, but wish there was more rice cake. Lots of seafood!! 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

All of the food was amazing!! first time going here with friends and honestly this place blends…read moreAsian (Korean) and western cuisine's so much perfectly. The servers are all nice and its easy to have conversation in both the native tongue of korean and in english. The wait time isn't that long and the ambience is great with korean music. Recommendation: get the noodle fried rice, octopus tteouboki, galbi, or the tiger budae jigae. you won't regret it

Update: visited again and got the ramyun and bossam; while they were both good, they werent as…read morephenomenal as the hojok galbi and perilla oil noodles; i still liked it but im now lowering my rating just a tad bit because i do see room for improvements! 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!

Five senses has been around forever and is still a solid staple in k-town! Stopped by on a Friday…read moreevening around 8 and there was no line for two so we were seated quickly. They have a variety of the standard fare Korean options at reasonable prices. We tried the ddukbokki and bulgolgi dupbap which were both good. The portion sizes were on the bigger size and the ddukbokki were giant. I do wish the ddukbokki was a little less watery but overall tasted fine. The bulgolgi was pretty standard for what I'd expect. Overall a solid option in the area if you don't want to wait for a long queue outside of the other popular spots.

I was honestly surprised by the ratings for this place... I came on a Friday night and it wasn't…read moretoo busy. First time here and it was a really solid experience. Seafood Pancake: Great pick. Crispy on the outside and packed with seafood inside. Beef Belly & Mala Cream Noodle Soup: Loved this one. Udon with tender beef and baby octopus... so good!!! Spicy Braised Pork Rib Stew: Rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The highlight for me was the raw marinated crab. I spotted it on the wall menu and immediately had to order it. It's rare to find in the city! And honestly, this was way better than BCD's. So flavorful. Only complaint... the banchan portions are small and not a lot of variety. Other than that, I really enjoyed my meal and I'd definitely recommend this spot.
