Kimbap Set
Marilu S.

I was craving kimbap so I decided to stop by the food gallery since I was nearby. I thought the beef didn't taste too fresh and my half of my kimbap was falling apart easily when I touched it with my chop sticks. The kimbap tasted alright. The service was attentive I requested a dipping sauce and he suggested spicy mayo. The spicy mayo went well with the kimbap.

Not sure why this place has just three stars. I am going to say that the tuna kimbap was EXCELLANT. Appreciate that the customer service, the quality of the food and how quick they were! I would definitely try the spicy tuna kimbap next time! Menu boosts many other options available to all Korean snack lovers including spicy rice cake, tempura, fish soup, blood sausages, dumplings, truffle fries, cheese sticks, buns and more! I would definitely come back to try other options and get a little taste of Korea! Also - head up to the third floor when you get your order and enjoy the views of BTS and BlackPink!

This food stall is inside the Food Gallery 32 in Korea town. It is a Korean snack shop - so you can get things like corn dogs and tteokboki! Hubs got the tteokboki with a side of beef and 3 small fried corn dogs. The rice cakes had a really nice chew texture and mouthfeel and I liked that you can add on meat toppings!! The corn dogs were freshly fried and very filling. Lots of seating in this food hall, go upstairs if the bottom floor is too crowded!

This stall is inside the Food Court on 32nd St The spicy rice cakes were okay, thought the extra sugar wasn't necessary. This is considered street food for 13 dollars. It is def overpriced but it's 32nd St! Everything is overpriced because the rent is too too high!

Set C: assorted fried + rice cakes
Hurjane V.

September 2022 visit I had an insane appetite and was craving for more than just my spiced seafood soup, so I also ordered this set. Kinda pricey, $16. Rice cakes was smaller than I thought but probably for the best given I had another dish LOL. The fried items were good. I liked the blood sausage the best, but the dumplings were too oily. Rice cakes have a nice spicy after taste, but I would like it if it was spicier and hotter (temperature). Would I get this again? Yah! I think I want to just get blood sausage next time.

Tastes great. Got the deluxe bimbap with kimchi, tuna, kale, pickle, and something else I forgot. But it was very yummy and filling. Paired with a bowl of rice cakes but it leaked almost all in the takeout bag, so I didn't try. Also got the cinnamon sugar rice cakes. They were fried but were good! Overall the food was decent but indeed overpriced (2 things + small bowl of rice cakes = $22).

They're located on the first level, on the left hand side when you enter the food court. I noticed how good their tteokbokki looked from other customers' trays, so I got what I thought would be the best of both worlds: Combo A, which had both kimbap and tteokbokki ($12.25). I picked bulgogi for my kimbap, which comes with 10 pieces. What I failed to realize, which wasn't clear from their signs, is that the tteokbokki in their combos come in a very small sized cup, rather than the regular black bowls. If it was clear, I would've ordered a full sized bowl of tteokbokki to go with my kimbap, as I would rather skip the disposable small cup and have the regular bowl. The kimbap goes great when dipped in the tteokbokki sauce, hence why the regular bowl would've been a great pairing. You order first and pay and wait for the pager to alert you when your order is ready for pick up. There's seating downstairs, but with several businesses on the first floor, you're better off heading up for more seating if the first floor is all full.

bulgogi tteokbokki

This stall inside of Food Gallery 32 has pretty typical Korean fare including tteokbokki and kimbap. We waited around 10 minutes for the food after ordering. I got the bulgogi tteokbokki, which was $17. While the flavors were consistent with what you would expect from tteokbokki, the portion sizes were lacking. There was not that much meat nor rice cakes. The black takeout container was only filled a little more that halfway and much of it was just sauce. I would not say it was worth it.

Spicy Rice Cake with cheese
Marni M.

My friends and I wanted to try a little something from each station. The rice cakes looked good so that's what I ordered with cheese on top. Was kind of disappointed when she didn't bother melting it even a little. Rice cakes themselves weren't that chewy or even tasty. Seemed to have been over cooked and fish cakes were also almost disintegrating in the sauce. Not sure if I would try these again but possibly other items from their menu may be worth while.

Bulgogi/ Fish cake soup combo with Tteokbokki
Mei C.

Shop's stall is located inside Gallery 32, decided on this stall since there were too many people lining up at the others (there's a reason why). The menu has a variety of combo meals to select from and decided on the Bulgogi Kimbap with Fishcake soup, also wanted to try the tteokbokki rice cake as well. Waited for about ten minutes as my buzzer rang me in. The kimbap lacked flavor (Queens has some better ones), so dipped the rest of my kimbap roll in the tteokbokki hot sauce. The fish cake soup was also a bit bland as well- dipped my fish tofu in the spicy tteobokki sauce as well. The rice cake was okay, not the best. Will probably try other kimbap places in the area next time

Ember H.

Service is not good. The attitude I got is they don't care about customer service. But I was really craving for hot fish cake soup. Fine. Quickly checked out and then I left. The soup is good for rainy weather. But the service can be improved a LOT.

I love this place. It's located ibsyde the Korean food gallery 32. So happy they are open again! All my favorites are here. Bulgogi Kim bop for $9 comes w soup. Spicy rice cake. Service is fast. Perfect for picking up lunch. I try not to go often to the Korean food gallery n I would definitely gain weight. This place is a must for a quick Korean street food fix.

Spicy Rice Cake
James B.

I was in the food court checking out places and tried this one out. I ordered the spicy rice cakes, it was incredibly mediocre. While the sauce was spicy, it also tasted a touch too sweet and was way too thick. The rice cakes themselves were ok. But the sauce was just not that good. I'll likely pass on this stand next time.

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.

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

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.

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.

This may be one of the best authentic Korean restaurants I've tried in NYC that isn't…read moreMichelin-starred. I was genuinely surprised by how good everything was! The restaurant itself is huge, with two stories, yet it still has a lively and comfortable atmosphere. The menu is extensive, with plenty of traditional Korean dishes, and the lunch specials offer especially good value for the quality and portions. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the galbi-jjim (갈비찜) and tteokbokki (떡볶이) were the standouts. The galbi-jjim was rich, tender, and deeply flavorful, while the tteokbokki had that satisfying, authentic Korean flavor I look for. Service was excellent--attentive, efficient, and friendly even with such a large restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, reasonable lunch options, and a huge selection. Definitely one of my favorite Korean restaurants in NYC and a place I would happily return to.

It's extremely crispy and very high quality. A large issue I had at this establishment was the service. The server felt unfriendly, and whenever we tried to flag him down, he wouldn't even look at us. It took around 20 minutes after our meal to get our check which was ridiculous. It was a shame because this was easily one of my favorite meals in NYC, but I don't know if I would return solely due to the service.
