    (L) LA Galbi Lunch Combo
    Andy C.

    I've returned to sit down for bbq and a few more takeaway lunches. And I'm happier. Ambience is fine. It's chaotic but that's expected. Service is efficient, with staff buzzing around to deliver dishes and charcoal, and cooking. Have a drink and relax. Charcoal bbq is solid. I'm still not convinced that it adds or changes the experience too much but the meat and banchan are all of good quality. A regular combo is still too much for 2 ppl but likely not enough for 3 unless you add on appetizer which you should probably do anyway. Lunches are fine if you don't go with galbi tang perhaps. The rotating banchan provides variety and a good floor of value to bulk up a lunch soup, but if you need protein then the pricier combos at least give you a standalone meat entree. The galbi combo comes with a satisfying seafood tofu soup and a good solo portion of LA galbi. The galbi is well seasoned and cooked well. The grilled pork actually comes out in a seemingly smaller portion but it's tasty. Accompanying kimchi cold noodles are fine, with a wheat noodle in a light broth that isn't too sour. Another good midtown lunch spot. Order ahead to avoid a wait and enjoy.

    Stopped by in the evening and the tofu soup was probably the best of the choices. The kimchi was just okay while the fried kimchi rice was overly wet to the point of clumpy. It was not a good texture and didn't have a great taste. The service was average and on the slow side and the wait was about 20 min for a table even though we noticed some open spots. Maybe they were understaffed? Definitely would try something else on the menu.

    We had a great experience at New Wonjo. Can we make reservations. The place had a line out the door when we were leaving. They have both regular table service, and also barbecue service which is in a different part of the building. We were in the basement. Kind of small, cozy, but functional.

    Steak that was part of the Premium Combo for 4. You can see the one little slice of mushroom that was supposed to be for four people.

    Dinner last night at New Wonjo. Excellent service and the food was excellent. What I didn't like was the cramped seating and small portions. We ordered the premium beef dinner for four. It came with one slice of king mushroom that was barely enough for one person let alone four. The ban chan consisted of some kimchi cabbage and one small plate of pickled beets and pineapple. The egg soufflé was great but not enough for four people and when we asked if we could get another one they said they would charge for it. The ban chan did not include fish cake, bean sprouts, radish, or any of the typical ban chan you would expect other than the cabbage kimchi. The beef was tender and tasty though.

    Great dinner experience at New Monjo. We ordered the Korean prime rib BBQ for two, which was flavorful, tender, and fun to cook at the table. We also had the bibimbap, which was fresh and delicious. The set menu was a great experience overall, the service was attentive, and the location was perfect -- an easy walking distance from our hotel in the Koreatown area. Definitely a solid spot for Korean BBQ while visiting NYC.

    My friend is in town and he said " I miss New Wonjo." So ofc we got to bring him down memory lane. This restaurant has 2 floors. The lower level is mainly for the non- kbbq meals and the upper level is where all the grills are located. We were feeling kbbq that day, so we were seated upstairs. Because we went during the holidays, some of the staff were being festive and wearing mini Santa hats. Very cute! The staff were very sweet / attentive. They promptly grilled our meat and offered additional banchans when we were running low. Btw shout-out for giving us plenty of lettuce! ( Everywhere else it takes forever for then to replenish the lettuce or they ran out) It was NOT the case here, so I can enjoy my kbbq ssam styled! Because it was so busy, the staff members were assisting within the different sections. We have a few different staff members grill our meat and each one greeted us with a smile and friendly attitude. We ordered: Premium Beef Combo (for 4 people) ($198.95): Prime Ribeye Prime Marinated Boneless Short Rib Prime Brisket Prime Marinated Sliced Ribeye Complimentary: Bean Paste Stew Barley tea ( check with your server) It's a good amount of food for a group of 4. You won't be stuffed with one combo but it's enough to make you satisfied.

    BBQ combo - not good quality meat
    Essie L.

    Honestly don't see why this place is so popular and quite packed every time we went. They do have an extensive menu, and it's in the middle of ktown, but honestly, the quality of the food is meh. The BBQ combo is not good value, as only 2/3 of the meat is edible. The Seolleongtang is the blandest I have ever had, not because of the lack of salt which of course you add on your own, but it's so watered down you cannot taste any meat or bone broth flavor. Service is pretty good though, and efficient.

    Great lunch today at Wonjo. I got the lunch special Spicy Dak Galbi chicken Combo with kimchi stew. It was delicious. Love their Banchan. The server gave us dumplings on the house. It was a lot of food. I took mine home. Lots of soup and stew options . Highly recommend.

    Constance L.

    Incredible value for the lunch set special. For about $25 per person, you can get a mini bossam set and a stew, as well as the usual rice and refillable banchan. Easily makes two meals! While the pork belly wasn't as tender as I hoped, I was impressed at the efficiency of the staff, value for the amount of food we received, and variety of the dishes.

    Food: I came here on a week day for their lunch special. It was pretty good! They offer many lunch specials which is a combo of a main dish and either a noodle or a tofu soup. I chose the galbi and spicy seafood tofu soup combo. The galbi was excellent - perfectly marinated and grilled. They give you about eight pieces of short ribs with the lunch special. It also comes with a bowl of rice. The tofu soup was average and nothing special (much better at BCD). The ban chan was also average; my favorites were the braised radish and kimchi. Everything else was mediocre. Service: Service was just okay. They weren't particular friendly or welcoming. They also don't come to check on you throughout the meal. Ambiance: The restaurant has two floors and can accommodate both small and large groups. Seating is spacious and comfortable. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

    Whenever I'm in New York, I always go to New Wonjo Restaurant in West 32nd Street whether to have lunch or dinner. New Wonjo is one of my favorite Korean Restaurant in Manhattan that specializes in Korean Barbecue. If its not busy, you are seated promptly and your server takes care of you right away. After you order, drinks and appetizers were served. Food is delicious, complimentary cold tea is served after dinner. Casual dining and family atmosphere ambiance. Always a great time to be here. Check it out!

    Tofu stew
    Kammy F.

    Love the soon tofu and the ban chan is delicious. We can back for 2nd time. The ban chan is different from last time. We got a Try the combo of fried mackerel & non spicy soon tofu. Their tofu is so good I don't even want any spicy to mask the tofu nature flavor. The broth is so light but it pair well with the rich tofu the diced squash and seafood ( shrimp and mussels) I would like more squash in the tofu stew. Service is fast. Take around 10-15 minutes to get the main dishes ready It's a little loud over here. I want to try the BBQ but it looks like reservation ahead is a must. The wait for Bbq table at 2nd floor is long.

    Sliced spicy pork
    Cib S.

    This is a great place for Korean food. We came here as a family on a Monday around 4pm and we were seated immediately. The restaurant upstairs is very nicely decorated with lots of pictures and art. We ordered the Jap Che (glass noodles)with beef and the Dduk Boki (rice cake/gnocchi) and the Je Yook Gui (spicy sliced pork) to be grilled table-side. All of these were great and the BBQ order came with plenty of sides. Be warned, if it says spicy, it's spicy; Korean cuisine does not mess around when something is labeled as "spicy". They have lots a drink offerings and several beer options, I ordered an Allagash. The wait staff was friendly and checked in on us often, the food came out relatively quickly and we had a very pleasant experience.

    Wood burning coals for the BBQ makes all the difference. Everything is delicious every time we go. I go every chance I can.

With a price of $2 per skewer, we ordered 1 beef, 2 lamb, 1 chicken gizzard, and 1 chicken skewers. They cook all skewers to order and take credit payment (tap). 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 saw that they have music on certain days so if you interested in some music come check it out. We ordered the two meat meal with greens, mac n cheese, and corn bread. They didn't have any pork belly burnt ends ready so that was a bummer. The food came out fairly quick which was nice. Everything looked really good. The brisket was cooked perfect and nice fatty parts to it if you like that. There was some good smoke to it and nice seasoning to it. The ribs were a little overcooked and not much meat on them. The mac n cheese was really good, nice amount of cheese, noodles cooked perfect, and nice seasoning in it. The greens were also cooked perfect, not mushy, great flavor, and also seasoned right. The cornbread was off the hook, very tasty with great flavor. I like that they mixed corn in the cornbread. We also ordered the Banana Wafer Pudding which was delicious. NIce flavor and the wafers were fresh and crunchy, I just needed more of them. We tried to wait for Pork Belly burnt ends but we had to go. The BBQ sauces were just ok, nothing to say hey you have to try it. I'd definitely be back to this place if I'm in town. Don't know why they only have 3.5 stars. The service was also good. I so wanted to give a 5 star but I just couldn't.

Since our program covered the expenses, we didn't pay anything out of pocket. Now I enjoy a good BBQ cookout at home as much as the next family, but don't care for it as a dining experience. My employer catered BBQ luncheons from time to time, and even then I wasn't crazy about it. Here in Hill Country, a room was reserved for us (party of 36). Our dinnerware resembled army mess tins lined with sanitary papers; our glasses resembled moonshine jars complete with screw threads at the rim for lids. 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). Some members of the group ordered liquor (at their own expense) to celebrate the good time they were having. Customer service was less than stellar. The waitress did not inform us that soft drinks were complimentary until after we finished eating. That wasn't all. The restroom was located downstairs past the bar room. During my two visits - before and after the food was served - the same staff member was there cleaning. He had just finished the sinks when I went in the first time. On the second visit, the front door was blocked from the inside by a pail - he was mopping the floor. Couldn't he have waited till the off-peak hours to do that?? Customer service and cornbread were enough for me to not recommend this restaurant.

I tried to find the drink menu online, but they didn't have all the drinks posted.

I also tried another sweet drink that was very good but can't remember what it was. Husband also enjoyed his drinks. Sorry, I know this is less than helpful for the rest of you but at least I'll remember they had "my kind of cocktails" when I next go to NY and review my own reviews. Service was hit or miss; when we sat at the bar the service was definitely better. At the tables, we waited and waited and waited for the server to come back and eventually I gave up and went to the bar to place my second round order. On our second visit we did hear the manager giving the bartender crap for telling someone where to find the bathroom. I didn't love that; you should not be trying to guess whether someone is going to be a customer or not based on their appearance and if the manager wants to do that it's on them, I think it's totally inappropriate to ask the bartender to gatekeep like that. The ambiance is pretty typical sports bar, seats at the bar and high top tables in the front, I think some regular dining tables in the back.
