We came to Olle for lunch, as we wanted to take advantage of their lunch menu. We went for their 'Mini Galbi + Naengmyeon' combo, in which you can choose between mul nengmyun or the bibim nengmyun. You get a mini burner with the claypot that had the braised beef short ribs, and an individual-sized nengmyun - the noodles were cooked well, and the bibim version had a super spicy kick. I wasn't really a fan of the broth of the mul, but the hubs enjoyed both. The galbi had mostly fatty pieces, and the flavor was more on the sweeter end; wished there was a bowl of rice or something, though, to sop all that sauce up! The banchans were a bit disappointing; the jeon was not that great, as it was mushy, and didn't seem to be cooked all the way through; could have been crispier. We were seated promptly, and the staff were friendly; they could be a bit more attentive, though, in terms of checking in with refills and getting the check. Avoid the restrooms - they don't keep them well, and it's pretty gross. +lunch combos +reservations accepted +friendly staff
The food here looks better than it taste. It's overall not bad but I think there is better available. Kalbi was not grilled and has pretty fatty pieces. Kimchi beef rib stew has almost no meat. Kim Chi is done well here but the rest is pretty average. Venue is pretty and staff is friendly.
Unyang bulgogi: SO DRY. Cardboard-y and meal-y. Crumbles under your chopsticks, and has had any moisture seared out of it. Do NOT order this. Skate fish: tender, but not very flavorful. Cold noodles: very sour. Service: unhelpful and impatient in ordering. Not attentive for fetching water either.
After a few days in New York, my mom wanted Korean food... I expected it! :) We did not make reservations as we were coming for lunch. When we walked in, we were seated almost immediately. The ambiance is modern, dark, with a slight twist of the Korean feel by utilizing the color brown. The service was slow as our server in particular seemed a little overwhelmed. After studying the menu and glancing at other tables to see what they got, the table next to us gave us recommendations. So there is what we ordered... Galbi Jjim (slow braised beef short rib) added the Bokkeumbab (fried rice) - Flavor was on point and the meat was tender. We were advised to leave some meat for the fried rice which is prepared table side. They chop up the remaining meat and added rice and other stuff to the plate and mixed it for you. You then wait for it to heat up to slightly scorch the rice before you enjoy it. 5/5 Byeong-uh Jeorim (spicy braised pomfret with radish) - We had to let it simmer for a while before eating as it didn't look like a jeorim. Once it simmered down, the flavor was good. I placed a piece of fish, radish, and sauce over my rice for a good bite. 4/5 Mini Sooyook (slow cooked pork belly) - We waited for it and it never came. When we inquired, our server said he forgot to put in the order. I regretted getting it since It was a little porky for me. 2/5 The banchans and dishes/plates used gave a very authentic Korean feel. I somehow expected the food to taste fusion but I was surprised how authentic it was.
One of the best galbi-jjim's I've ever had! Tasted like how my mom makes it! Decent space for seating, but I bet it could get very crowded during peak mealtimes, so reservations are probably recommended. We got the galbi-jjim for 2, with the addition of the fried rice and 2 naeng-myuns (cold noodles). This was for 3 people and we were stuffed! The meat in the galbi-jjim was so tender and flavorful, literally melts in your mouth. The naeng-myun noodles were chewy, with refreshing cold broth that just cools you down especially in the summer. Every side dish was perfectly seasoned, and the servers would come by to replenish any that were empty as well as to cook the fried rice in the leftover sauce of the galbi-jjim, which just elevated the experience. We also got a side of sundae (Korean blood sausage) to try, and it was delicious as well. Overall, I would definitely come back again. I would consider this place pretty expensive (came out to about $55 per person). But we were completely satisfied, and it's a great spot for good Korean food.
We went to olle based on my friend's recommendation and enjoyed it! We got the galbijim, bibim naengmyeon, and matcha lattes. The galbijim was the star of the show: super tender and flavorful, though with a bit of spice! I think the spice helps cut through the sweetness of the marinade. The naengmyeon was also refreshing and the matcha latte was surprisingly good. This was on the pricier side, though we all left very full and with leftovers.
Great for a group Korea town dinner! E. chose the spot and opened ordering with, "Who is in for hot soup" And most of us obediently raised our hands despite the 95 degree high of the day. The kimchi as a part of the banchan is solid. Galbi jjim is impressive wow, so tender and the Bokkeumbab add-on to the galbi jjim pot is a must. The servers are efficient and gracious, offering to cut up the noodles if desired. They are attentive and I appreciated how quickly they brought us extra napkins or anything else we requested. The Jang uh (eel) is amazing if you like unagi. And the kimchi jeongol is excellent too. Good-sized portions to share. Cold barley tea served with the meal. Make sure you make a reservation well in advance. Well-worth the experience.
It's been a while since I found an amazing Korean spot in KTown and this was it. I recommend almost everything on the menu
Restaurant with a nice ambience and a short wait. Service is good but prices are a bit high for the portion size. $80 for the galbijjim "for two" which is really only kind of enough for 1. Top up $12 for "fried rice" which is just the server bringing out a bowl of plain rice to mix in whatever's left of your galbijjim. Flavors are great, just wasn't prepared for the small portions.
I was able to get a last-minute reservation when they just opened at 5 pm. The place gets busy by 5:30 even on weekdays. The banchan are good, with unlimited refills, except for pajeon. Jokal muchim (cold pork feet salad) - it is spicy and lacks sliced pork feet, but has lots of cabbage. Golbaengi somyeon (spicy snail salad with wheat noodle) - it is spicy but refreshing on a hot day but I do wish they have more noodles to help with the spice. Galbi tang (beef short rib with glass noodles) - comfort broth with tender short rib and daikon
olle is so so good! some of the best korean food that i've had in new york. the ambiance is really beautiful and dim lit, upscale without seeming too stuffy and still very homey. service was fast and attentive. def make a reservation beforehand as it gets pretty busy. we ordered the combo of the mini galbi and naengmyeon, and it was so so good! the cold noodles have a delicious chewy bite to them, paired with the sweet brothy umami of the icey soup. the broth itself was quite acidic which i loved. the galbi itself was soft and tender, with a sweet sticky sauce that paired perfectly with the freshness of the noodles. the banchan was all very good as well. the lotus root was particularly stand out, with a great marinated crispiness. overall, loved the experience and all the food - flavor packed and full of heart!
A little bit pricey but very good tasting food! We enjoyed everything - mool naengmyeon, bibim naengmyeon, bossam, galbi Jim, bibimbap. The only thing that's not worth it is the bulgogi bibimbap, as it had the smallest serving of meat to rice ratio lol. Drinks were good too, especially the tangerine soju cocktail
Everything here was really good! No misses. My friends and I shared a few items, highly recommend: - Galbijim - Gamjatang - Eel - Cold noodles - Bossam One of the best korean food I've had in NYC
I've been here about 2 years ago, and idk why I took so long to come back. The food was so good!! They had a pretty good banchan spread. We ordered gamja-tang, bossam, nangmyeon, galbi-jjim and golbaengi-muchim. None of the dishes disappointed at all. Wish they had a dessert menu read more
This is such an amazing spot for galbi jjim in ktown. They operate on a 90% walk-in only which makes it really convenient to get a seat. The mood is nice and intimate, but still good for groups. They offer a mini version of their popular dishes, like galbi jjim, and naengmyeon so it's good to sample. I've never had a bad experience here as both the food and service are excellent. Their dishes are very flavorful and always cooked well. I also can't rave enough about their selection of banchan. Everything is fresh and changed out regularly. read more
We were craving Korean cold noodles on a humid, stormy night, and this spot came up as a recommendation. Although Ktown was quite crowded for a weekday dinner, we arrived with empty stomachs and open minds. Thankfully, we scored bar seats-an intimate yet underrated move for those who just want good food without a long wait. We ordered: Honguh Jjim - Steamed skate fish in soy-garlic vinaigrette Mool Naengmyeon Bibim Naengmyeon The service was attentive without being overbearing. Due to the heat, I'd keep an eye out for flies, as they tended to hover around the dishes. A server quickly replaced our flatware and banchan when we flagged an issue, which we appreciated. The food was refreshing and full of umami in every bite. The Bibim Naengmyeon, in particular, had a nice kick-great for those who enjoy sriracha or chili oil. Surprisingly, I enjoyed all of the banchan that came out, which isn't always the case for me. Would definitely come back for the cold noodles-or to try more of their other noodle dishes! read more

Came here tonight and what a wonderful meal! At this point, there are many Korean restaurants in the city... which makes us all lucky. What sets Olle apart is the care I can tell they put in the food. It helped I had someone who knows what to order but I can also tell from the other tables, that everything here is probably good . read more
It's good Korean food but nothing crazy. Lowkey occasional pieces of the galbijim I felt were kind of dry/lacking flavor. I really liked the cut up meat + fried rice tho. Naengmyun was also good but I think maybe tosokchon is better. The soup was fine but I'm just not that big of a fan of soup. Banchan was good! Seating and vibes inside were great. read more

I understand the hype-- the side dishes were delightful, the soup was warm, and the ambience was nice-- solid little date spot that some of my friends attend to! Cheers! read more
Food: The food is delicious here! The banchan was amazing and probably the best banchan I've had at any Korean restaurant. They had small Korean pancakes, spinach, rice cakes, kimchi, onions, fish cakes, and radish. Every banchan dish was so good. We ordered individual dishes (cold noodles, seolleotang with noodles) and then a braised short rib to share. Every dish was so enjoyable, and I would recommend all of them. Service: Service was phenomenal. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They were very attentive and kept checking in with us. We were celebrating a birthday, and they were kind enough to provide plates and forks for our cake without an additional charge. They told us they normally charge a fee for cake but wouldn't for us since it wasn't busy at the time. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size and can accommodate both small and large groups. Seating is comfortable, and the restaurant is kept clean. Decor is also really nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back! read more

Inspired by Jeju Island, known for its unique local ingredients and distinct flavors different from many mainland Korean dishes. Service: Good Quantity: Fair Cleanliness: Fair Price: Fair Appetizer: Jokbal Muchim (Cold Pork Feet Salad) - $15.96 A great choice for a hot summer day -- lightly spicy and tangy, with just enough sweetness to balance the heat. Refreshing and flavorful. Main Dish: Mool Naengmyeon (Cold Noodles) - $19.95 Cold, crisp, and perfectly refreshing. The balance of tang and gentle sweetness is spot on, with juicy Korean pear adding a burst of flavor. The noodles had that ideal thin-yet-chewy texture, cooked just right. Absolutely loved this dish! While the flavors are bold and satisfying, I did notice a couple of tiny gnats -- perhaps drawn by the aromatic dishes -- and the lively atmosphere can make conversation a bit challenging during peak hours. A touch more sound absorption could make the dining experience even better. Overall: A wonderful spot to explore vibrant Jeju-style flavors read more
The food and service is really good! The servers were very attentive and noted whenever we needed more banchan or water without asking. I was surprised that the restaurant had two floors. The upstairs also had a bar seating area, booths, and regular seats. My friend and I ordered 뼈다구감자탕 GAMJA TANG, 물냉면 MOOL NAENGMYEON, and 비빔냉면 BIBIM NAENGMYEON. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were good. I loved the BIBIM NAENGMYEON, but it was on the sweeter side. This is good for someone who likes spicy but also wants it a bit sweet. I highly recommend and I'm curious to try their other menu options. I'll definitely be back. read more

Thought the cold noodles were great and lived up to the hype for sure! Would go back again to order just these We sampled other dishes which were also great but did not think they stood out as much as the cold noodles. The bon chon was also amazing and the waiter was super generous with refilling them for us! The interior is decorated super well too and it's a great place for a nice sit down. read more

Food: Came for the dinner menu and ordered 3 main dishes to share: Sooyook, Jang Uh, and Mool Naengmyeon. First of all, I have to commend the side dishes as it is fresh, plentiful, and really tasty. Couldn't get enough. Everyone genuinely was just very delicious and well executed. The sooyook consists of boiled pork belly with accompanying delicious pastes and raw garlic and jalapeños. With such a fatty cut, it sounds counterintuitive to boil it but it really helps to tenderize the porky goodness. The Jang Uh was also a banger with its soy marinated, lightly charred goodness. Very reminiscent of Japanese style uni and accompanied by delicious mushroom morsels. The cold noodles were a nice refreshing tart bite that really helped to revitalize the taste buds. Service: The wait staff was efficient and got our food relatively quickly. Highly recommend getting a reservation because it definitely gets filled up fast. Ambiance: Really enjoy the moody cozy vibes. Elevated but not too stuffy for the regular commoner. The dark decor and low lighting makes you feel like you're in a speakeasy. read more
Solid Korean spot with more of a traditional flare compared to other trendy restaurants in K-Town. Decently sized place with two floors of seating and nice waitstaff. We tried several dishes here and most were all pretty good. The gamja jungol had tender pork and flavorful soup, the golbaengi somyeon's sea snail was fresh and paired well with the cold wheat noodles, I especially liked the gul gook which was a oyster soup that was very clean tasting without being fishy. We also tried the jang uh which was eel that came with garlic, mushrooms and seaweed that you can make little wraps- really delish too! The only thing that was mid was just this bulgogi beef fatty thing which was a bit dry. Overall, really delicious dinner! read more
The galbi jjim and nengmyun combo is the best! Definitely worth getting even though it's a bit pricey. Both dishes were well made and the service was also quick. The waiters also refilled the banchan when we ran out. The restaurant itself is very spacious so we didn't have to wait to long when we walked in. read more
I was in the mood for hot soups and stews after the weather turned colder and decided to stop by Olle! I liked the option of a galbi jjim and naengmyeon combo! The galbi jjim was very tender and flavorful. It was sweet, savory, and spicy! The mool naengmyeon was also solid. The noodles were very chewy despite the cold soup and remained the chew throughout. I do wish I got the spicy version tho! The gamja tang was what I was looking for! It was hearty with a well-seasoned broth. I loved the balance of spiciness, umami, perilla seeds, and perilla leaves/kimchi. The pork bone/pieces were tender. We also got the spicy moon snail salad. The moon snail wasn't as chewy as I had thought but I liked the mix of noodles and cabbage slices. I loved the banchan, especially their pancake and the savory mochi. Staff were attentive, but they forgot to refill our pancake banchan after telling us they were working on it. Restaurant has lots of seating on two floors with a range of small to big tables, so they can definitely accomodate different party sizes. Dark, sleek decor made this comfort food feel elevated and intimate. I'd be interested in coming back for other soups later on! read more
In the first few sips and bites, we knew this would be a restaurant that we will not shut up about anytime soon. On a winter evening during our annual NYC trip, we were looking for something new to try in Koreatown. I have to credit my husband for finding Olle after he did some online research and mapping. It's known for being majorly walk-ins and few reservations, which led to a 45 minute wait. I assure you, that 45 minutes was WORTH it. It smelled amazing throughout the wait and made us even more eager to try. We got the acclaimed Galbi Jjim which many reviews recommended. It was off the bone and flavorful (and we love seeing the bone too). We added on both the Bokkeumbab (fried rice made with the Galbi Jjim pot once finished with the meat) and the Janchi Gooksoo (hot wheat noodles in anchovy broth). Given the cold weather outside, the Janchi Gooksoo was revitalizing and soothing to the soul. Meanwhile, the food all came out at once, including a colorful medley of banchan (Korean side dishes) and the bright Hong-uh Jjim (steamed skate fish in soy garlic vinaigrette) with purple rice. The vibrantly colored Galbi Kimchi stew came out shortly after with the staff cutting the large and long cabbage leaves right in front of us into the stew. In fact the staff rearranged our table to get the right aesthetics since they saw me letting the camera eat first. We were almost drinking the sauce in the Hong-uh Jjim skate fish; if you saw me that night I was the one sucking the fish to the bone to get every piece of flavor. In the Janchi Gooksoo, all the noodles we fought to make sure it was perfectly even; we both wanted every noodle. The soup was savory and I made sure to keep enough to make it my last sip of the meal at the end. I was pushing every piece of rice possible from the Bokkeumbab once it was made tableside because the flavors were so perfect and crunchy. The staff also made sure we were enjoying our food, as well as accommodating my allergy every step of the way. Alongside the cozy "dinner in a basement home" vibes, it really felt like we were eating in someone's home. Despite it being winter, all the dishes warmed us up. Drinks were all fantastic, we ended up ordering the whole cocktail mocktail menu (one of each, some mocktail some cocktail). It was a fantastic date night celebrating my husband's birthday a little early. He was elated I picked a spot he recommended and it worked out so well. Honestly, we've already been recommending Olle to our Korean-food-loving family and friends. We'll certainly be back. In 2026 they expect to focus more on walk-ins vs. reservations. We'll be happy to wait again and be ready to get into Olle as soon as they open. read more
Wowow. Amazing galbi jim and naengmyeon. You can ask for fried rice to be made from the remaining galbi jim which is also delicious and a second meal! Service was prompt and tentative, our barley tea jug was always filled! read more

Olle is one of my favourite go-to restaurants in the ktown area, and I've been more times than I can count. The restaurant is deceptively large, and it's usually pretty easy to get a last-minute reservation or walk-in for a table. One of their well-known specialties is their naengmyeon, and rightfully so -- both the mul naengmyeon (regular) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy) are so delicious. I love how chewy the noodles are, and the cold broth is always super refreshing. The pickles and cucumbers are a nice touch (although I do remember when it used to come with a slice of pear / half an egg!). The galbi jjim is also super popular - while it can be a bit salty at times, the meat is so tender and just falls apart when chewing. I always recommend getting the galbi naengmyeon combo, which I think is a much better value than ordering the full size galbi jjim, even when you add the side dishes. I'm also a big fan of the soulongtang (rich and hearty broth that is perfect for a cold day) and the galbi tang (broth is so fragrant and a nice complement to the heavier galbi jjim). Some other quick notes: - chueo tang: kind of a miss. the broth has a nice smell but it's just too thick/heavy and weighs down your palate really quickly. - bibimbap: solid dish but nothing particularly notable about it. - janchi gooksoo: I think this only comes as a side to the galbi jjim. I think it's pretty solid as a light contrast to the salty/savoury meat. - bossam: I like the how clean and refined the pork tasted (cooked really well, very tender), but I think it can be pricey for the portion size The banchan are also always a hit -- I really love the rice cakes, fish cakes, and pancakes (?), but honestly they're all quite delicious. Price point can be a bit high depending on what you order, but it's nice in larger groups to be able to share (or get the combo like I suggested above! Perfect amount for 2 people). read more

The sooyuk (bossam) was way overpriced for such a small portion (the pieces are small too). The taste wasn't bad. The naengmyun broth was good, just a tad on the sweet side. Very refreshing but there's no meat included. Service is fine. Tip: Ask for the spicy bibim sauce on the side for the naengmyun read more
I was at this popular Korean restaurant with four others a while back. The place is pretty large, and we were set upstairs with the seating being quite comfortable. In general, I would say that the prices on the menu are a tad higher than the average Korean place, but I would say that the quality is a bit higher, and in most cases, the portion sizes make up for it. To drink, they gave us some boricha/barley tea, which was refilled when necessary. I also ordered a drink outside of this, and I don't really remember much unfortunately outside of it being summery and citrusy and being fine. The staff was friendly as well, refilling banchan and helping with some of the dishes. Speaking of banchan/side dishes, there were a bunch. My personal favorites were a tasty jeon/pancake (in this case with vegetables) along with some tteok/rice cakes. Outside of those banchan, there was a tasty eomuk/fishcake raw onion in soy sauce, two types of kimchi (standard cabbage and kkakdugi/radish,) and some type of namul/blanched greens. The first thing that arrived was the two appetizers. My preference of the two was easily the Unyang Bulgogi/언양불고기 for $15.95, which is simply listed as grilled sweet beef. This came with two patties and had a small scallion salad otherwise. The texture of this was unique, being more like a patty and almost reminding me of tteokgalbi but with bulgogi meat instead of short ribs. I liked this dish a lot and I would recommend it. More standard was the Soondae/작은순대접시, or Korean blood sausage, for the same price, which also came with some scallions. The rest of the dishes we ordered were quite large and obviously meant for at least two people, if not more in some cases. The cheapest and least favorite was the Sooyuk/수육 for $38.95, or slow-cooked pork belly served with raw garlic & assorted condiments. The pork belly was alright with my definite preference in terms of flavor and texture being some other places such as Her Name Is Han, among others. However, it did not help that the assorted condiments included some things that I can't eat, such as spicy raw squid, and others, so I might have liked it more if I were able to pair it better. There was also the massive Kimchi Jungol (or Jeongol/뼈김치전골) for $52.95 listed as a spicy pork bone kimchi hotpot. The waitress mixed up the dish at the table, revealing many massive pieces of pork inside. The pork itself ranged in terms of texture, with some pieces having a little bit too much of a chew, but it was nicely flavored. I almost liked the kimchi more, which had some of the pork essence, though I wish it were a bit funkier. I still liked the dish. The final main dish was the star of the night, which was the Galbi Jjim/평안동소갈비찜, listed as braised beef short ribs with oyster mushrooms, jalapeño peppers, and jujube. There is only a $10 difference between the small and the large dish, so we got the larger one for $79.95 (there is also a mini version served with a soup.) This was served in a large dish with a large bone on top of many pieces of tender meat. By comparison to many other spots, this was particularly outstanding with very tender meat while having a balanced sweetness. The mushrooms were tender, the peppers added a bit of heat and crunch, and the jujube added some sweetness when needed. I'm pretty sure this is the dish this place is mostly known for, and I can see why very easily. There are several extra options to order for an extra $9.95 with said dish, and we went with the Bokkeumbap/볶음밥 (though I was tempted to order a mini naengmyeon also.) Bokkeumbap refers to fried rice with the server coming once we had finished most of the dish and adding said rice using the bone on the plate as one of the cooking utensils. The fried rice was fine, being a nice nightcap with the flavor from the stew well incorporated, with some of it becoming nicely crispy. This is one of the more unique Korean spots, having a rather distinct menu, being much more family-style by comparison, especially with their best dishes. It's not my favorite I have been to, but I would definitely go back for that Galbi Jjim and to try their Jang Uh/grilled eel, which looked wonderful on another table. read more

Food was delicious and service was nice. They were attentive. We ate the banchan, which can be refilled, spicy pork belly, and soybean beef stew. The stew broth was not too salty and comforting. The spicy pork belly had a good kick and they kept it warmed. The banchan was delicious and savory as well. The only critique would be that the alcohol seemed light in the Pear Ade cocktail. read more
Very very pleasantly surprised. Beautiful, spacious, cozy interior to begin with. Went on a monday night and didn't wait at all to be seated. I got the Sooyuk, which was so worth the price. It came with everything in the picture, except the rice and was the perfect portion for one. Absolutely delicious food, and the kimchi was fresh too. Loved! Great, quick service too. read more

Olle is pretty big with some additional seating upstairs so I found it easy to get a reservation. It was quite dark and moody, with the traditional kind of hot pot tables laid out. The service was quite quick and they provided their opinion on some favorites and portion sizes. The pork belly was so tender and fatty, but the sides is what really made that plate even more exciting to dive into and kind of create a more complex flavor profile with the pork belly rather than just having it on its own. The cold noodles were pretty good, packed with umami and good broth. Definitely star of the show! The short rib, just melting in my mouth with a more expected flavor and marinate to it. Overall, a great meal and would love to come try some of their other noodles! read more
We came on a weeknight, so the vibes were pretty dark and intimate. I thought the service was pretty good as the staff were checking in on us frequently and making sure to refill our water and banchan as needed. I also enjoyed the unique options they offered for banchan, some that I haven't seen at a Korean restaurant before. The food also came out timely. For the food, we ordered: Sooyook: this was good. nothing super special but I liked it Chungpo Muk: this one was okay, I would've been okay without ordering it Gamjatang: I was a little disappointed by the gamjatang, something about it wasn't as good as other gamjatang I've had before. Also the amount of peppercorns in it was a bit overkill Galbi + Naengmyeon: I liked this naengmyeon, it was nice and refreshing. The galbijjiim was also tasty. I liked that this was an option to do a mini portion of both dishes. Overall, Olle had some good dishes, but some were misses and made the experience not as great. read more

Delicious galbijim and cold noodles (I prefer the spicy one). The banchan is also amazing. I could eat here everyday. You can ask for vinegar and mustard to eat with the cold noodles read more
I came here for a dinner one evening and had a great time. The interior of the restaurant is cozy and there are two levels. Their menu has a good variety of classic Korean dishes, and the service here was nice. My friends and I got their naengmyeong, their galbijjim (+the fried rice after), their gamjatang, and their spicy stir-fried pork belly. Everything was delicious. The naengmyeong was light, cold, and refreshing. Meanwhile the gamjatang was comforting and hearty. The stir-fried pork belly was also a favorite for some, and packed with spicy flavor (but wasn't spicy!). The highlight for me was definitely the galbijjim, which was full of flavor and tender beef. They cut the pieces for you and the sauce is amazing. After, you can order their fried rice and they cook it in the same pot. TO DIE FOR. Loved how they served the pork belly and galbijjim over a flame, so the meat would continue to stay warm as you eat it. The banchan here was also phenomenal, and my friends and I loved their seafood pancake. Would absolutely love to come here again. read more
Get the Galbi Jjim with fried rice. Josh was the best server and had great recommendations for food and drink. For drink, get both kinds og Makgeolli Jipyeong and mix them. Half and half is a good ratio but you can also mix to taste! read more

Came here with a group of friends on a weekday evening (with reservations) and found the place busy and energetic. Unfortunately for us, that day was quite warm and I don't think the restaurant got the memo so it was sweltering inside, even at night. We ordered a bunch of dishes: jaeyook bokkeum, galbi jjim, hooshik-mool, hooshik-bibim, bokkeumbab, naengmyeon-mool, naengmyeon-bibim, and shiregi galbi - we found everything to be delicious and satisfying. The naengmyeon was the star of the show for me as it was refreshing, light, and savory. This is a great place to come with friends, order a few drinks, and eat absolutely scrumptious food. read more

It was a warm day so my friend and I decided to stop by ktown for some naengmyeon! And omg it was so so so refreshing and delicious. Definitely hit the spot after such a long and warm day of walking. Would definitely come back to try out the other dishes especially the soups one day when it's cooler. read more
