    Bulgogi fried rice
    Mark S.

    I really liked this modern take on Korean food. The flavors were executed very well with a new modern approach while still maintaining the classic Korean flavor profile. The banchan was amazing. It paired really well with the spicy garnishes. The bulgogi fried rice had great flavor, and the bottomless tteokbokki was an amazing touch. Our dessert of the Dalgona tiramisu was the perfect way to end this great meal. The service and ambiance were both solid, and overall this place is excellent.

    Crispy Corn Pancake
    Laurina Y.

    Great pub food! We sat in the back in a small sectioned off room so it made the service a bit hard to get to but overall it was a great experience. The food we got were all very good and would recommend all of it! I liked the corn pancake a lot but it was pretty flaky.

    Cod Roe Seafood Udon

    Cod udon is the best here. The shaved ice drink is also amazing!! Service is great and LOVE the unlimited tteokbokki!! Not too loud; good to bring friends yap, enjoy vibes and the food!

    Short Rib Chapaguri
    Katrina D.

    Complimentary and unlimited tteokbokki?!!! say less!! Dining at take 31 was pretty affordable for korean food. Everything came out to be around $35 per person including the tip. The standout was definitely the braised pork belly. Great portion for the price and sooo flavorful. Very tender and just has such a nice bite to it. I love the amount of green onions they give you. The short rib chapagurri was pretty good especially mixing the egg in and the flavor of the short rib was just soo good!

    Bossam and tteokbokki
    Corianne M.

    Came here with one of my girls for a holiday dinner, and the vibes were absolutely lovely. I believe walk-ins are allowed, but I'd definitely recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait--while we were there, we saw quite a few people waiting outside. The food was amazing, and you even get free tteokbokki and fish cakes with your meal! The bossam and Korean fried chicken were definite highlights. I loved the service, loved the energy, and loved the restaurant overall. Will definitely be back!

    Pork Belly Rice Crepe Wraps, scallion pancake
    Will N.

    Great atmosphere, great vibes, great food. Hard to critique anything! The Pork Belly Rice Crepe wowed my whole table so much that we ordered it again. Highly recommend. The Seafood Udon is super delish as well. Had to lick the pan clean. The chestnut makgeolli is a delightful sweet (but not too sweet) drink. Not a typical flavor you see but it was surprisingly good. The banana has a very natural flavor but the chestnut just hit the spot.

    Tteokbokki
    Mark W.

    One of my favourite restaurants in K town. Staff are super nice and friendly, and it is easy to get in for table of 1. However, the restaurant is crowded when you get in. Once you order an entree, a dish of tekbokki was served, they are pretty spicy and you can get unlimited of them!! I have ordered the Short Rib Chapaguri, the noodle is chewy and the sauce is sweet. The dish is even amazing with the diced short rib. It is such a great comfort food.

    Crispy Corn Pancake
    Caitlyn F.

    Second time here to celebrate a friend's birthday - we had to spend $35 each for a group of 7. It's a small, but cozy spot. We got a few diff items from the menu to meet the minimum, but the highlights to me were the crispy corn pancake & the cajun seafood fried rice. The fried rice had a great flavor to it and I was pleasantly surprised since I didn't have any high expectations for it. Everything else we got was just ok for me flavor-wise. Service was good, they let us bring in our own cake without paying a cake cutting fee, but they couldn't store it, which was fine.

    Garlic Crust & Spicy Chicken
    Jessica Y.

    This was a nice, casual spot for Korean food for dinner. It has a fun, lively vibe but wasn't too overwhelming or noisy. We ordered the Garlic Crust & Spicy Chicken and the Cod Roe Udon. The portion of chicken was more generous than I was expecting, but I've definitely had better fried chicken. It was relatively crispy, but lacked the umami kick I look forward to in KFC. My friend really wanted to try the cod roe udon, which I was initially iffy about at first since I'm not a huge ran of cod roe. However, it wasn't fishy at all! The udon was cooked nicely and the cream sauce wasn't as overpowering as I expected. Overall, pretty solid food but nothing super special. They let us take our time with dinner, and we didn't feel rushed at all.

    Cod Roe Seafood Udon. $23.95. They liked it
    Glenn C.

    I went to this popular Korean place which is from the folks behind Her Name is Han next door along with a whole lot of other Korean restaurants a good while ago as per most of my recent reviews. By comparison to next door, the inside is more industrial looking which is a unique touch and while Han does nice versions of Korean classics, this place does more spins on food from Korean Pocha/drinking culture. The food by comparison here is a bit heavier and a bit richer but I liked it as well but I have preferred some other spots. I believe, though I lack a photo, that I shared a bottle of Chestnut Makgeolli with someone else and liking it a lot. The one banchan they give is excellent consisting of Ddukbokki, or rice cakes served in this case with eomuk/fish cakes which had a good chew and a good spice to it. My favorite of the food overall was the Pork Belly Rice Crepe Wraps for $25.95 consisting of grilled pork belly covered with toasty injeolmi and soybean powder and served with homemade pickles. The fatty pork belly pairs really nicely with the chewy rice crepe on top while the injeolmi and soybean powder add some sweetness and nuttiness. The pickles help with the richness and overall, it's fantastic. We also liked the Crispy Corn Pancake for $15.95 which consisted of a sweet & savory pancake with corn, cheese & Cajun powder. The sweetness from the corn wass balanced out by the salty cheese with the powder adding a nice little kick. Sure, it's a big greasy but it's delicious and I would recommend it. The Spicy Soft Tofu Soup/sundubu jjigae had Korean chewy noodles, beef finger ribs, shiitake, Korean chives, and a poached egg was large and tasty. The flavors were more bold by comparison to SGD with the beef inside being tender and well flavored. I'm not that surprised that their jjigae are good as the the best dish next next door are usually said stews. The other people seemed to enjoy the popular Cod Roe Seafood Udon for $23.95 consisting of udon noodles sautéed in spicy cod roe cream sauce with shrimp, squid and clams which I couldn't eat due to my cephalopod allergy. They complemented the chewy noodles and liked the sauce and overall compared it nicely to the various mentaiko udon spots. The Spicy Short Rib Lasagna for $25.95 with braised spicy short rib, lasagna, and Japanese pumpkin with bechamel gochujang sauce topped with blended cheese had and interesting mix of spiciness and sweetness almost like Yangnyeom chicken though I would say a bit more sweet than spicy. It was a bit rich but I liked it and it was plenty big enough to share. The Garlic Crusts & Spicy Chicken for $25.95 with deep-fried boneless chicken tossed in spicy sauce served with crispy garlic crusts was good. The chicken had a good crunch and a bit of a kick though not as much as I would expect with plenty of garlic flavor of course. The Short Rib Chapaguri for $20.95 consisting of Korean ramyeon noodles with special jjajang sauce, greater Omaha short rib, onion, scallion & fried egg sounded better than it tasted. This version of chapaguri, made famous by Parasite, had a lighter jjajang sauce than I'm used to being not as salty or rich compared to places such as Hyo Dong Gak among others which was surprising as the rest of the food was so bold. Also with beef was the Bulgogi Black Garlic Fried Rice for $15.95 consisting of fried rice with bulgogi, black garlic oil, and scallions. The fried rice was a bit small compared to the other dishes but was tasty with a hint of sweetness and richness coming from the black garlic and bulgogi. I wish there was a bit more beef but it was good enough. We also got the Rolled-up Cod Roe Omelette for $18.95 consisted of Korean-style rolled up omelette with cod roe & cream sauce. I wish the cod roe was a bit stronger in the dish but the egg was nice and fluffy. It was alight overall. Both this and next door have faults but also a lot of merits. If you're looking for richer food and don't mind a less spiced/complex flavor palate, I would recommend this place. However, if you want more unique flavors, Her Name is Han is better along with spots such as Hojokban and others. As I prefer the latter, I prefer their other restaurants but this is all palate and I certainly preferred the food here over other pochas (will have to compared to Dangol soon however.) Mid 3 rounded down for general quality as nothing truly wowed outside of the pork belly.

    Tteokbokki
    Olivia C.

    Nestled in the outskirts of ktown, we happened to be waking by when we saw the menu outside and were instantly drawn into the small nook and cozy feel of Take31. We left our name and were called back soon after but there was actually quite a wait after that because people were still at the table we were going to be seated at - it would be nice if it were more accurate with the call back timing. The dinner starts off with some tteokbokki as the banchan served. We ordered the roe omelette which was actually very nice. Not too fishy, with roe inside and out. Soft, warm, and smooth. The seafood roe udon was our favorite dish. Creamy with a light clam/roe flavoring, would definitely get again when coming back. It comes with a couple small shrimp pieces in addition to the larger one, some squid?, and a few clams. I usually don't like udon but this was an exception! The pajeon was ok - it comes with rice shrimp chips on top which in my opinion take away from the dish more than it should. It's like covering a pizza with potato chips, there's no need! It would've been fine without it - still not bad, though makes it extra oily. They have a new dish that is basically a deconstructed pizza - with beef, tomatoes, kimchi and cheese on top. This was ok - the taste was good, but the cheese was not as cheesy as we were hoping to start. Overall, really good with some things falling short of amazing but honestly the udon was so good would definitely come back.

    Not my first time here but def a spot I always come back to when I'm visiting the city. I came on a weekday without reservation and had to wait about 25mins. They text you when the table is ready so was able to walk around while waiting. We got the crispy corn pancake, pork belly rice crepe wraps, cod roe seafood udon. The corn was sweet and crispy. The pork was a good mix of salty and savory from the pork and injeolmi powder. The rice paper wrap added a chewy texture. The seafood udon was creamy and the roe added a nice texture to each bite.

    I was a little wary of eating here with my friends, so I was notttt expecting this place to be this good. every dish was extremely flavorful and piping hot. the meat was so so tender in every dish we ordered. I especially loved the short rib ramen dish we ordered. absolutely loved that we got free Tteok-bokki. was pretty spicy but the texture and chew was perfect. a little disappointed in how small the portions are, especially considering the price point. service was speedy, tho! they also let us sit down and start ordering despite one of our friends not being there yet.

Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I was lead to this great spot for a late dinner and cocktails on a Friday night. The hostess was really friendly and quicky sat us at a two seater near the bar, which we appreciated. The ambiance was light and friendly and they even had a DJ playing all the good jams! I think I danced a bit, (definitely liquid courage). The DJ read the room and created a fun ambiance. The waitress came over a few minutes later and quickly took our drink and meal order.

We sat at the bar, which runs about half the length of the space, and there were also plenty of tables throughout. The back section of the bar feels a bit separated from the main entrance area. There are some TVs throughout, and everything inside seemed fairly new and well maintained. It was not very crowded on a Tuesday early evening, so service was quick and the staff was very friendly. We did not order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for happy hour drinks in the MoMA/Midtown West area.

The moment you step inside, you're transported to the Victorian era, with ornate details and charming décor that make the entire space feel like an experience in itself.

Honestly, I think it worked out for the best--the bar felt more spacious than the table seating and had a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere for a Wednesday afternoon.

The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and impressively efficient, striking that perfect balance of great service without constantly interrupting your conversation.
