TAKE31 is FUEGOOOOOO. It was literally so good we forgot to take proper photos of the food... we INDULGED in free tteokbokki, wood ear mushroom salad, the acclaimed braised pork with rice crepe, and the delectable corn pancake.. had to take a pause my mouth is watering from writing this review. Each item was great, but DEFINITELY try the braised pork with rice crepe as it's so unique. Tbh we were not big believers in this combo and almost opted for something else, but we were happily surprised at how well the rice crepe worked with the pork belly. The tenderness of the pork and softness of the crepe add such a fulfilling texture that's complimented perfectly by the sauce they drizzle over the dish. The service was great-- quick and efficient. What more can you ask for? We were sat in the very back of the restaurant in an almost private space which was super nice and a bit more quiet which is always hard and unexpected in NY. ILL BE BACK to try more items on this menu. Definitely make a reservation though! We saw a lot of people waiting outside to be seated when we walked right in. Highly recommend this joint. read more

I've seen the Injeolmi Pork Belly all over my page and have wanted to visit for the longest time! We went a bit overboard and ordered so many dishes, but glad we got to have a bite of everything! * Roll-up Cod Roe Omelette - salty and soft egg omelette, would pair nicely with spicy dishes but was a bit overwhelming for me * Prime Short Rib Chapaguri - featured in Parasite! I was expecting this to be very sweet but surprised there was a familiar spice/smoke end note - I feel like they used ramen spice packets to add an extra oomph to the dish. I really enjoyed! The noodles did not swell/bloat and the sauce stayed loose, making this easy to share. * Pork Belly Rice Crepe Wraps - the star of the show! You get a chewy yet crisp barbecued pork belly bite with the nuttiness of the Injeolmi powder - truly an explosion of flavors. * Crispy Corn Pancake - crunchy & sweet * Cold-Kimchi Noodle - refreshing, but wish they had given spoons for us to slurp the delicious broth * Garlic Crusts & Spicy Chicken - also one of my favorites: super crispy and flavorful with super soft and juicy chicken! I'd love to try the Lasagna or stews when the weather gets cold - would pair perfectly with their refreshing Shaken Sojus. read more

This place was everything ! It exceeded my expectation food was on point Real young adult vibe here

Modern takes on korean food, and it's well done. Lasagna was surprisingly spicy, so do note that. Wasabi cream chicken was crispy and sweet. The corn pancakes were chewy and crispy read more

We came right at opening with a reservation and were seated pretty quickly. The space has a lot of seating that moves into the back, but it felt still pretty homey and was decorated nicely. The menu was pretty aesthetic and overall had a nice selection of foods. It has a lot of modern twists on a lot of different Korean dishes, but also does the classics decently well. We decided to share 3 things as a group of 2 and overall, this was a little too much -- I would probably recommend two dishes unless you're good taking home leftovers. The free tteokbokki they serve was pretty nice and had a good flavor. The drink we got as well was pretty refreshing and not too strong. I would recommend getting the crispy corn pancake as that was unique but still very tasty and the pork belly rice crepe wraps; the latter was surprisingly a little sweet but super tasty. The Korean army soup was good, but honestly not too special in my opinion and wasn't worth the price; other places serve a dish similar to this as well and it's not like you can't get it elsewhere. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here as the menu was pretty unique and the flavors overall were very solid. The price is a little steep, but the service was good and as long as you get a reservation, with no wait this made for a good experience. read more

Food here was decent! We started with the yogurt rice wine which was really yummy, and in terms of food, the standout was definitely the pork belly rice crepe wrap. It was cooked really well!! Everything else was solid but nothing too standout. I'm glad I got to try the chapaguri but it got a little too saucy at the end. The braised pork belly meat was also a bit tough. Docked a star also for service. We ended up waiting double the time we were quoted. Not necessarily the restaurants fault, but the table before us did not leave for another 20 minutes after their table was cleaned and set up for us. Would have been nice to have some gesture that there was another party ahead, especially if everything was already cleaned up and prepared for us. read more

Not to be dramatic but this is one of the top 5 best korean places I've ever had. I can't really explain it but everything I had was top tier. I would probably avoid the dishes that don't sound korean though i.e. the chicken with cream cheese, lasagna, etc. Had the chicken and wasn't a big fan. Everything else was phenomenal though. A thousand percent order the Pork Belly Rice Crepe Wraps and Soon-Dae hot pot!! read more

I'm a big fan of Hand Hospitality (Her Name is Han, Jua, Atomix, etc) and was excited to try their spot Take31. Stopped in for dinner on a weeknight without a reservation and the wait wasn't too bad - about 25 mins for the two of us. I tried: + Wasabi cream chicken + Crispy corn pancake + Short rib chapaguri The highlight was the chicken, and the free (bottomless) rice cakes that they give you were also amazing. Overall excellent! read more

~ Braised Pork Belly ~ The pork bellies are tender and soft, with a right meat to fat ratio, doesn't taste much of anything as they rely on the sauce on top for flavours. The sauce is quite citrusy and not too sweet/salty. I really like the green onions on top, goes really well with the sauce and gave it a refreshing taste. ~ Cold Kimchi Noodle ~ The noodles are slightly disappointing, we are expecting noodle made with buckwheat and potato starch, instead this one is somyeon/somen, and not very chewy and springy. The sauce is ok, not as flavourful as I hoped, but there are some thin sliced apple and cucumber making it extra refreshing. There is also some kimchi / gochujang slushy to keep the noodle ice cold, it was quite fun eating that. Will I be back? Probably yes The dishes we ordered are pretty average, nothing particularly good or bad. My friends mentioned some other dishes are better, so probably will try those next time! read more

Rating: 4.56/5 Wasabi Cream Chicken - Crispy chicken with honey butter and whole grain mustard sauce with wasabi whipped cream $16.95 (4.7/5) - the wasabi whipped cream was very fresh and paired so well with the crispy chicken - I would recommended eating the chicken when it comes out since I noticed it was not as crispy after it cooled down at the end of the meal -v - Really unique cream, definitely the highlight of the dish, could have fries or anything else really with it.

We came on around 6:40 on a Wednesday and there was roughly a 20 min wait - also limited to 1.5 hour seating - Also no same day reservations, so I couldn't hold the seats for us because I was early -m - I loved the plates & table set up & food came out quick-v - Usually at Korean restaurants, they will give you banchan which are side dishes. Most places I've visited served us multiple but at take 31, they served us tteokbokki which is usually on the menu instead. It was a bit spicy and chewy and paired well with the whole meal. - v rating: 4.7/5 vs m rating: 4.5/5 Other comments -v - Since I came in the past I would highly recommend trying the pork belly rice crepe wraps. The flavor was very unique and I never had a dish like this at other restaurant. I remember the chicken tasted really good the first time too which is why I insisted we ordered it again. - I've had the shake it drinks in the past and recommend trying at least one read more

Love this! Officially, it's my favorite spot in NYC now. So I saw this on Instagram and decided to give it a shot. It's a pretty cozy restaurant. We didn't make a reservation since we decided on this restaurant at the last minute. But we did not have to wait long to be seated. Which was nice. We ordered a bunch of food that was recommended on Instagram and we absolutely love every single dish! White peach Makgeolli is a must!! Seafood udon was amazing too! It tasted similar to the ones I had in Toronto. The omelette was soft and fluffy too! Which tasted nice and addictive. Definitely coming back here again! read more

I came here with some friends for an early dinner. Service was really nice, they were attentive and our food came out at a nice pace. We got the crispy corn pancake, seafood and chive pancake, and army stew, as well as some slushy soju shakers. I loved that they provide some tteokbokki as a free appetizer and it was delicious too. The corn pancake was the best item hands down. Crispy and the perfect combo of sweet and salty. The seafood and chive pancake was good but didn't blow me away. I wish it was bigger, as it was on the smaller side. It's a good size for 2 people and maybe 4 people if each person only wants a single slice. The army stew was large and had a ton of meat. I wish it had more ramen noodles but the broth was good and not overly salty, which army stew has a tendency to be. The soju slushy shakers were also really good. They have real fruit slush/juice in them and are nice to share with the table. For 4 people, we got 3 (orange mango, yuzu grapefruit, and kiwi apple). We agreed kiwi apple was the best flavor. Overall I enjoyed Take31 and definitely want to come back to try their other items, particular their fried rice or seafood udon, and pork belly crepe. And would definitely order the crispy corn pancake, can't recommend it enough. read more

Booked a reservation and this place was super packed at only 6:30 pm on a weeknight. The crowd knew what it was doing, as the food was very good and fairly priced. Very attentive and efficient service as well. Foodwise got the corn pancake, the pork belly, and the seafood ramen. I liked the pork belly the least, needed more flavor and texture but still solid. read more

Take31 - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I freaking love Korean Food! This area has some of the best that NYC has to offer, although a bit off from the main strip of where most are located. My friend who lives closeby (I know, what sane person would want to live here?!?!?) took me to this place. The entrance was covered by construction so it was hard to find. The place is a bit small and narrow but we were greeted and seated as soon as we went in. The decor and furniture aren't of high quality, but something you should expect for decently priced food. They also compensate with good and fast service. The food is great. We ordered: Seafood & Scallion Pancake - huge portion. Tasty. Although a bit too greasy for my tastes Braised Pork Belly - tender, flavorful. Pretty pricey for what you get. Short Rib Chapaguri = Delicious! My favorite of what we ordered. We ordered a couple of other things that I don't see on the menu any longer. Such as the traditional and street food Korean staple teokbokki (short rice cakes), which were flavorful and not too spicy, a coffee drink which was tasty but super overwhelmingly sweet, and BBQ chicken wings (good for what they were here but Korean chicken wings are supposed to always be a hit). I like the place. It's definitely different from my usual 3am stops after clubbing on W 32nd St. read more

Came here without a reservation on a Saturday evening, and we were seated within 20 minutes, which was awesome! Definitely a busy spot, with a young, modern and fun vibe. Ordered the Prime Short Rib Chapaguri, and it was quite good! The sauce had a great, balanced spicy kick to it, and the noodles were perfectly cooked and coated. The short rib was great, but definitely with there was more meat in the dish. Great portion size! The staff was kind, but service was somewhat slow despite us getting seated quickly. The host was great and the kitchen staff were kind, but we were definitely waiting on our food, receipt, and service for a while. At some point, we believe that our waitress forgot about our table, as we were waiting and done eating for over 30 minutes before we were able to flag someone down. Definitely a bit on the pricy side for what you get, but good food and will be back to try more! read more

Take31 - Prime Short Rib Chapaguri - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I came here on a friend's recommendation and really enjoyed it! It's pretty amazing that their free bottomless banchan is ddukbokki, and it's great! The rice cakes are tender but not overcooked, and it has good flavor. I also thought the soju slushies were a great deal -- for $17, we were able to fill 10 shot glasses. I do wish the slushies were more frozen, but they were otherwise very delicious and accompanied the food well. I also really liked the spicy galbi stew -- there were two versions of galbi in the stew, and both were very tender and flavorful. The broth was rich and flavorful without being heavy. I would get this again. The other dishes we got were decent but I probably wouldn't get them again. The crispy corn pancake had a great crunchy texture but was a bit too sweet, the jjapaguri was pretty unremarkable, and the "Korean ceviche"/mulhwe was good but not great. I could definitely see myself coming back again -- the staples of bottomless ddukbokki and delicious soju slushies give Take31 a strong foundation for a delicious meal in my mind. The ambience is cool and bustling and the staff are kind and attentive. read more

The service here is attentive, and the ambiance is a bit loud so it's a little hard to hear at times. Crispy Corn Pancake (7.5/10): Always nicely fried and flavored, no complaints here Wasabi Cream Chicken (7.5/10): This was quite tasty and the wasabi had all the good flavor of wasabi without the spiciness which I really enjoyed. Garlic Crusts and Spicy Chicken (7/10): This was one of the most ordinary dishes here. It tastes like any other Korean fried chicken. Spicy Short Rib Lasagna (8/10): I did not expect to like this as much as I did. The flavor combination with the pumpkin Pork Belly Rice Crepe Wraps (9/10): This is my favorite dish I've ever gotten here. The rice crepe wraps are a perfect chewy texture, and the meat is very flavorful as well. The injeolmi and soybean powder add another layer of flavor that elevates this dish. Cod Roe Seafood Udon (8.5/10): This is one of the best cream udon I've had in NYC out of other Hand Hospitality restaurants. The cod roe adds a nice touch to it, but it's a bit lacking in actual seafood. Short Rib Chapaguri (7.5/10): This is pretty tasty, but without the short rib, it seems like I can make this myself at home. Spicy Soft Tofu Soup (8/10): This has good flavor, fresh ingredients, and everything you'd want in a stew. Hard to get a table at sometimes and would definitely recommend reservations. Still also very delicious as takeout read more

The restaurant was very lively and the service was quick. I've been here a few times and noticed the prices have gone up. That said, if you're coming here for the first time, I would definitely get their cod roe seafood udon. Their chapaguri was a little bland. read more

Overall: 4/5 The food was really good but I would say the portion size is small. They give free tteokbookki and fish cake as a side which is nice and they offer free refills. We got the cod roe seafood udon($23.95, 5/5), prime short rib chapaguri($19.95, 4/5), pork belly rice crepe wrap($23.95, 3/5) and the white peach makgulli(17.95, 3/5). I would say the cod roe and the chapaguri was the highlight of the night. The pork belly rice crepe wrap on the other hand was falling apart so it was a bit difficult to pick up and indulge in. The ambiance inside is nice and cute. There's a whole back area that I didn't know of until recently and can sit a ton more people. This place is great if you're craving a good cod roe udon! Would definitely come back to try the other items. read more

Highly recommend this place! Pretty much everything in the menu was great. This place is great for sharing. The corn pancake was nice and crunchy. A must have is the pork belly. It had a good amount of pork and toppings. We got the seafood soup but spicy. It had a kick to it for sure. There was also a good amount of seafood and veggies in the soups. My least favorite was the lasagna. I thought it was too sweet. There was a purée in it as well. I thought it had too much purée and it overpowered the dish. Service was great too. Our server was nice and helpful. The inside was so cool. Take31 has a very nice interior and good amount of seats. A note, I booked my reservation 2-3 weeks in advance. They do get booked up pretty quickly. read more

This time, I tried the spicy short rib lasagna, creamy seafood udon & white peach makgeoli. My most favorite was the cod roe seafood udon - super delicious, creamy, al dente udon & shrimp. My least favorite was the spicy short rib lasagna - It definitely was not a traditional lasagna type, as there was not that much "cheese" in it. The short ribs were spicy, but I found it weird that there was some sort of sweet potato in this item. The white peach makgeoli was good - was not strong & tasted like peach slushy. I would highly recommend the creamy seafood udon! Service was great - foods came out quick & staff were attentive. read more

Made a reservation here for a weekend night with 5 friends and we got these dishes. Also not pictured but we ordered the spicy galbi hotpot as well. The service was pretty standard and the food was pretty average, it was good but I wouldn't consider it amazing. It can definitely get loud here during the dinner rush sometimes. One thing to call out is that the portions are smaller than they look, something to keep in mind before coming here. Would also recommend making a reservation on Resy since the lines can get long especially for dinner. Some people on line were waiting 30+ mins to get in since they didn't have a reservation. Overall good experience here. read more

All I have to say is get the Makgulli because it's freaking delicious, specifically the Chestnut Makgulli ($17). Comes in a 23 ounce glass so this is for sure something you share with the table, not consumed by yourself. Although you could if you really wanted to. read more

Ambiance (4/5): The back dining area inside is a bit dark but not too loud. There's a front and back dining area. I didn't feel cramped at all. You can see the kitchen from the front dining area. Service (5/5): They seated us without having the full party and we never felt like we were being rushed out of there. There was always someone available to take our order or help with anything. I like how the servers also instructed us for what to do with some of the dishes (e.g., break the egg, or eat the noodles first, or provide context to the dish) Slushy Soju - Orange Mango (5/5): The little bottle definitely packs a punch! We shared a bottle among our party of 4 and it was enough to sip on throughout the meal. Braised Pork Belly (4/5): The pork belly was super tender! The braising seasoning did not stand out very much but tasted great with the heaping topping of scallions and the spicy Chef's sauce. Rolled-up Cod Roe Omelette (4/5): Be sure to eat this dish while it's hot! It's a very unique dish w a thin layer of cod roe within a rolled-up egg. The sauce drizzled on top gives it another element of umami. Spicy Soft Tofu Soup (4/5): I was a big fan of the tofu soup as there was a lot of depth of flavors. The portions were plentiful and there a lot of variety in the dish. Short Rib Chapaguri (2/5): The chunks of short rib were pretty tough to chew. The Jjajang sauce did not stand out as anything special. Wasabi Cream Chicken (3/5): There a nice crunch to the chicken nuggets. I could not really taste the hints of honey butter or mustard. The wasabi whipped cream was very light in flavor. I would definitely come again to try their other dishes! read more

I loved Take31. It's definitely not authentic Korean food but it is amazing! We sat down and the vibes was so nice! Everybody was chatting and this was a great place to catch up with friends. We got a some free tteobokki which was so flavorful and spicy in the best ways! We followed this up with army stew, short rib lasagna (which does take 20 mins) and the soy garlic fried chicken. If you want a fun twist on pocha food and great vibes I think this is the spot for you. Also you cannot skip out on the short rib lasagna. It was so amazing.

Lucky to have visited during a late Sunday night, so no reservation needed. The Spicy Soft Tofu Soup was flavorful and not too spicy. We left the noodles sitting in there a little too long so they got soggy (for awareness). Never had anything like the Pork Belly Rice Crepe Wraps, delicious and fun.

Definitely get a reservation ahead of time! It's very popular at the moment. Honestly the highlight of the meal was the maekgeolli! It's a wonderful slushy texture, and the flavors are more natural and not artificial and too sweet. I liked the banana flavor a lot! You get a big carafe for $18.95 which isn't too bad, but the alcohol content is low so don't use this to get drunk :) The food was good as well, we got the creamy roe seafood udon and the injeolmi pork belly, and the one side they provide is tteokbokki! The menu isn't too big which is nice, but all the items are unique. Service was prompt, and the total came out to about $50 pp. read more

Looking for a place to drink in the city? This is the spot to go to. We lined up before their opening to avoid waiting long. The line piled up right behind us so we were happy we came at a good time. My friends and I didn't have reservation but they said they could squeeze us in for about an hour since they had reservations coming. We ordered one dish which was the braised pork and it was so tender when eating it. The rice cakes that came with it was super soft and chewy and the sauce was packed with flavor. We also got two pitchers for drinks. The soju slushy was okay, we were hoping for the strawberry banana flavor but unfortunately they were out of stock so we opted for the mango orange(?) flavor. It was good until we got the banana rice wine. That drink took over the flavor of the soju we previously had. This drink was creamy and sweet and I was surprised to have liked it because I don't like bananas too much. Overall a great experience and I would definitely go again! read more

I failed to make a res online so I decided to walk in. I was the first in line when I arrived at arnd 5:05pm on Sat, but the line expanded rapidly right after. The restaurant absorbed the crowd quickly, which I believe you could still grab a table if you arrive when it just opens. ＊Rolled- Up Cod Roe Omelette This cod roe omelette was a slay. Take 31's one was drizzled with generous mentaiko mayo. The egg rolls were pillowy and jiggly, and most importantly not overcooked. I've tried Cho Dang Gol's one but the cod roe fillings didn't live up to my expectation. ＊Prime Short Rib Chapaguri Their Prime Short Rib Chapaguri was literally the real standout. The beef was tender, while the ramyeon noodle was chewy and sauced with right amount of sweet black jjajang sauce. I wish it was served in a bigger portion. Forgive me, I was reluctant to share it with my friends. We fought for the last bite and cleansed the whole plate lol ＊Korean Army Soup Hate to say it, but the Army Soup was a miss. It was much more expensive ($26.95) than the other noodle options but winded up underwhelming. The hot pot was filled with spam, sausage, hamburg patty, ramen & American cheese in a kimchi-based stew. The processed meat tasted mid, and the whole pot wasn't flavorful. ***Note that they only open at night, from 5:30pm till late night My Recommendations: Short Rib Chapaguri, Cod Roe Omelette Worth Returning ?

This place has become one of my favorite restaurants to visit in k-town for a casual dinner with friends. I recommend making a reservation since it can get crowded. I went with a group of 3 and we shared a few dishes: Cod Roe Seafood Udon - 5/5 I was afraid that this dish would be too fishy for my liking after my experience with the Cod roe udon at UdonLab, but to my surprise it wasn't super fishy at all! It was creamy, noodles were perfectly chewy, and the flavor was nicely balanced. Definitely, my favorite dish of the night. Garlic Crust & Spicy Chicken - 4/5 SUPER CRISPY. This is your typical korean fried chicken dish, but it was delicious. Prime Short Rib Chapaguri - 3/5 This dish was good, and the short rib was well cooked, but there wasn't too much meat and honestly just seems like instant noodle with some short rib thrown into it. It looks like something you could make at home. Mango/Orange Soju Slushy - 3/5 It was okay, tasted just like orange juice with soju in my opinion - I wish there was more of a mango flavoring. We shared one bottle amongst 3 people and each of us were able to get around 3 shots from it (so total 9 shots). Overall, the food, service, and ambiance here were all great. I would definitely go back to try more dishes! read more

Prepare your taste buds for a culinary adventure! I'm currently craving their delicious offerings as I write this review. For a party of two, we ordered a variety of dishes. My boyfriend was craving the Spam rice balls (4/5). It was good with the mayo! The corn with cheese (5/5) was a savory and comforting treat that left us wanting more. It was super crunchy too which we loved. The braised pork belly with rice wraps (4/5). The melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of the pork paired with the freshness of the wraps created a symphony of flavors that was simply divine. The Prime Short Rib Chapaguri (3/5) was decent. It was basically ramen noodles! The Cod roe seafood udon (5/5) was a bowl of comfort with a seafood twist. The udon noodles were perfectly cooked and it was extremely creamy. Each bite was a journey through a sea of umami goodness. I must give a special shoutout to the dukbokki side dish. It was not only delicious but also unique as restaurants usually give multiple side dishes. The ambiance at Take 31 is dark and cozy, creating a perfect setting for a casual experience. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, helping us navigate the extensive menu with ease. read more

don't make the same mistake as I did and go next door thinking it was same Take31 restaurant. They are the same owner apparently but completely different menu! Take31 has WAY more options ! first off, as soon as you sit, please just do yourself a favor and order one of their makgeolli. I tried their Bam Makgeolli and ITS AMAZING!! They have other flavors and i'm pretty sure they are equally amazing! Complimentary dduekbokki! usually things that are complimentary aren't that good but what?! this was SO GOOD! It has a more garlic-y taste to it and don't be afraid to ask for more. Workers there are great and service is quick! There's more seating in the back of the restaurant. read more

The crisp with the soft rice wrap makes the textured of the pork belly amazing. We also enjoyed the fish roe omelette as it was flavorful. We also had the crispy corn pancake, but I compare it too much to corn cheese and it was not that flavorful. I also had white peach makgeolli which was smooth and fruity.

This place is awesome! It was actually my 2nd time visiting the spot, and was surprisingly able to get a 5:30pm reservation the day before. There was a long line when I arrived and this place seems to just be getting more popular, so make sure to plan ahead! Two of us ordered two apps and one main dish - though they were all pretty similar sized. Once you order, there's also complimentary Tteokbokki which arrives and can be refilled which is such a nice surprise. They are also really tasty! Pork Belly Rice Crepe - This dish is so unique and it comes with pickled radish which provides a nice palette cleanser! The pork belly is tender and crispy, and the rice wrap on the outside provides such a fun, more chewy texture to balance the crispiness of the pork belly. I just wish there was more sauce/glaze since it was tasty! Crispy corn pancake - If you like corn, you're going to love this dish! It's both sweet and salty at the same time, and it's covered in grated cheese. It's super flavorful and cheesy, and is a perfect starter! Great to share for 2 people as well Bulgogi black garlic fried rice - This fried rice was so flavorful! The bulgogi was a great addition and there were many components to it. Super tasty and would recommend if you're looking for a solid fried rice. Anyway, check out this place! You can't go wrong with any of their dishes. read more
