JT T.

Not sure what happened to Turntable.. years ago I felt like this was one of the top go to place for Korean wings and somehow this time around left me with a "meh" experience. This may have set the tone for me to go elsewhere for wings in this area. Soy garlic wings -3/5 - missing that soy garlic flavor. Don't know if they're skimping on the sauce or what's going on but it was alright Spicy wings - 3/5 - my initial thought after the first bite was "i don't remember these being salty". It was also alright Service on point so nothing to complain about there and the jazz theme is still going strong for this location. Unfortunately, I can't say this is one of the best places for k wings anymore and I'm disappointed since I used to rave about this place. Definitely has gone down in quality. RIP Turntable

Funny enough, I found this spot by overhearing people at the Met talking about how good it is. And sooo glad I came to check it out! The size of the wings were pleasantly surprising and the flavors (hot & spicy, garlic/soy) were punchy without being overbearing. Service was quick and attentive. Although we were leaving around 10pm, it looked like it was starting to pick up and had fun punch bowls for larger groups. Glad we popped by for a late night snack!

Service and drinks here are always amazing! Food can be a hit but it's not really a miss, just your staple bar food with a korean twist. Vibes here are great, too. Perfect for first (or tenth) date!

Ambiance (5/5): The decoration from floor to ceiling is SICK. The bookshelves, music records, wooden panels/lighting is such a vibe! The noise volume is moderate. There's also another dining room to the back of the restaurant. Service (3/5): The hostess allowed our party to partially sit vs wait for everyone. We ordered drinks and food before the whole party arrived. The food takes forever to arrive including a corn on a cob that took 30 minutes from ordering. Understandably, fried chicken takes time to cook. Drinks are quick though. Elote Smokey Corn (2/5): Nothing special about this. Skip! Bulgogi Burger (5/5): Super flavorful and delicious sauce with a bun that held well. Fries were cooked with a crunch which I preferred. Fried Chicken (5/5): Wonderfully breaded and flavorful. The wings are large/juicy. $18 soju bottles which feels like a robbery.

Medium Drums & Wings Combo (~$28)
Aya E.

Ordered: Medium Drums & Wings Combo (~$28): half soy garlic & half hot spicy; with pickled daikon radish Kimchi Fried Rice w Chicken (~$21): sunnyside egg, stir-fried rice, assorted vegetables & kimchi, and chicken Sapparo on Draft Pint (~$6 HH price) Aya's take: Korean fried chicken is truly one of the best styles of fried chicken out there and we decided to try it at Turntable Chicken Jazz. It's pretty cool that this Turntable location is fully decorated with records, record players, posters, etc. and of course, with jazz playing in the background. We ordered the Medium Drums & Wings Combo which took about 30 minutes to prepare. In the meantime, we enjoyed the Kimchi Fried Rice w Chicken which was pretty solid. It was cooked well, good balance of savory & spicy flavors from the kimchi and the sunnyside egg added more umami and creaminess. I still felt it was a bit dry and could've used like spicy mayo but that's just me. The Medium Drums & Wings Combo was perfect for sharing among 2 people. Both flavors were delicious but the hot spicy just had more depth than the soy garlic. The pieces are large and the crunch is insanely addictive. And no better way to wash it all down than with a Sapparo on draft! Great try!

I love this place! I've been twice now and I can confidently say this spot will be in my restaurant rotation moving forward. The highlight is definitely the ambiance, the food coming in at a close second. It's really nice to be immersed in this place by the sounds of Jazz and the impeccable record collection on the walls. So much rich history and culture brings a warm feeling inside. So far I've tried the Korean Fried Chicken which is super crispy, flavorful and filling. The chicken fried rice is perfectly starchy and rich. It will fill you up quickly! I'm blanking on the name but the spiral potatoes are also yummy & my go to beer is the German grapefruit Schöfferhofer which is nice to enjoy on tap. Great place to come with a small or big group as they're very accommodating and wait times to sit aren't long. You should be prepared to wait 20 mins for your chicken though! Super worth it.

Last week I went to turntable chicken jazz with some of my colleagues for an after work, happy hour. The interior design of this place is phenomenal and really gives off a warm cozy vibe. The service was really good, we were brought to our table that we were reserved fairly quickly and we were able to get someone's attention without having to wait too long. I will say the chicken is good, but it wasn't anything out of this world. I would still recommend this place to anyone looking for good chicken and a great ambience.

Corn cheese
Cindy C.

Tasty food plus good vibes! I came here with a friend on a Friday evening while I was in town for a few days. We had made a reservation for 6:30pm but it didn't look overly busy when we arrived, though the place was definitely lively (and maybe a little too loud at times since we had to raise our voices to hear one another). We both ordered the soy garlic chicken (I got wings while my friend got boneless) and shared the corn cheese appetizer. Food came out pretty quickly and everything was solid. Corn cheese was tasty as a classic appetizer, and I liked that the crunch of the chicken held up nicely with the sauce and it never felt soggy throughout our meal.

Nicole D.

Very cool place. Great music and vibe which gets 5 stars for me. I think they have a DJ there some days. Metal chairs at the bar weren't that comfortable. Food was very good. We were told the chicken wings would take 30 mins which seemed like a long time, however that wasn't our experience and I was happy it didn't take that long. We wanted drinks but seeing their prices, we knew we could go somewhere else not far away for a better deal. I'm sure they were good since we saw lots of drinks leaving the bar. Enjoyed the lemonade mocktail and would have that again. If we come back, I'd opt to sit in their dining area in the back. The stools at the highboy tables in the front did not seem comfortable or supportive either. Service from the bartender was cool. All and all, it was the music and decor that stole the show.

Pickleback Shot
Serena C.

Such a cute place! The decor is so beautiful--filled with vinyl records, books, cool lighting--and there is plenty of seating. The service was standard and the food came out pretty quickly. The food itself was really good! I think it's a bit pricey though. The hush puppies are good but not worth the price imo. The Korean fried chicken was AMAZING tho. So crispy and sweet. I tried the pickleback shot and it was soooo good. If u rlly like pickles and pickle juice you should try it!

fried chicken
Sophia W.

Really good fried chicken and truffle fries! It's expensive, but it's kind of expected in K-town. I liked the ambiance; it feels upscale, which is rare for a fried chicken spot. The staff were also very friendly. Be aware that if you order fried chicken, it can take up to 30 minutes for them to make.

Soju drinks
Sreyoshi B.

Longtime fans of Turntable Chicken Jazz in Koreatown, we were excited to return after a long hiatus. While the atmosphere remains cozy and inviting, with its dim lighting and LP-inspired decor, we were slightly disappointed to find that they no longer offer the lychee soju for two option, which was a highlight for us. However, our regular favorites still hit the spot - the lychee martini, potato twister, and small chicken drumstick were all delicious. The vibes are still on point, transporting us from the bright NYC streets to a warm, intimate space. Overall, we'd still highly recommend Turntable Chicken Jazz for its food, drinks, and ambiance. Hopefully, they'll bring back the lychee soju for two option soon, if not, we just have to return with friends.

Combo
Amisha R.

Turntable is total vibes, very cozy, romantic, and hip spot. The combo half sweet and spicy hit the spot and was gone within minutes. The sweet balanced out the spicy, and the spicy stole the show. The service was quick and upfront letting us know that the chicken would take a while to prepare, but it was worth the wait.

Ask the Community - Turntable Chicken Jazz

Do they have outdoor seating?

I went a couple weeks ago and there was outdoor seating available

Do they still have the potato twister? I can't find it on the new menu.

Yes.there last week. Amazing wings

Any issues with reserving. Do you get a confirmation email right away?

Reservation is seamless for me. I did it via their website since we are a group of 10+ individuals. I got an email and text confirmation the same day. Quick replies, same day, for questions and adjustments.

Anyone know their happy hour menu?

$7 beer $9 wine $12 cocktails… 

Do they take reservations for just two people? Or do we need to walk-in? How long is the wait for walk-ins?

You can just walk in. It gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights, so go early or be prepared to wait.

Is there actual jazz here?

Hello! Currently we play Jazz from our Record Setting collection of vinyls but in the future we might have live Jazz!

What is a yelp check in?

When you are finally seated, at your table or at the bar crow like a rooster for your requisite discount.

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 ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice ( Yum), Guinness Wager Sliders (Nom Nom), Korean Chicken Boas (My Favorite!) and Carnitas Tacos.....I'm embarrassed to admit that we cleaned our plates like a couple of savages. Bartley Dunnes is a great choice to come solo, meet up with friends or come as a group of no more than 4, unless you make a reservation. They have a second floor that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to check out, so I can't write about that. However, I did see people coming and going straight up. I'll be back!

They have a great happy hour running from open until 8 PM, including $6 beers and $8 cocktails, which is a great deal for the area. ordered the Bartleys Spritz (Aperol Spritz) and a Tequila Mule. 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.

My main squeeze got the "ghost stories" (similar to a pumpkin old fashioned) and I got the "hot gossip" which is similar to a margarita. I did ask for Spicier version if that helps. The place was PACKED on a Friday night around 6:30pm. I would definitely recommend Oscar Wilde for at least 1 drink if you're in the area and a fan of spooky Halloween decor like me :)

The hostess told us there were two seats left at the bar. So we grabbed them. It took a couple minutes to catch the bartenders attention. We ordered a specialty cocktail a "Cup of Joe" (Expresso Martini) $19 and a beer. Once we placed our order, the drinks were made quickly. My cocktail was fantastic! The bartenders really work their tails off here. Think this restaurant could use more bartenders, considering the large number of customers. Interestingly, I said the same thing from my last review in November '24. Anyway, it's always fun to stop in Oscar Wilde's to check out their holiday themed decor.

The army stew was one of the better ones I've had, super flavorful but has a bit of a kick. The corn pancake was also really yummy, something you don't find at other restaurants.

I needed a fried rice or something to offset. The wagyu is tender. - Injeolmi pork belly: this is so good. I'd get this again. There's a crispiness too that is reminiscent of katsu. It is on the sweeter side. We got the chestnut maekgeolli, and it is not as nutty or sweet as chodangdol but still good. Frozen slushie style is not my preference but it melted eventually. The unlimited ttokbokki and fish cakes was nice but I couldn't flag down the staff to refill it.

It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef.
