A pretty solid value for all the food you're getting. We ordered a couple of bottles of soju as well. Def make a reservation, the day we went they were turning away walk ins!! read more

All meats were tender and juicy. Our only problem was we ate too much meat! The grilling pan was HUGE so more meat can be cooking at same time. Watch out for the numerous splatters. I could have had more fixin's like lettuce leaves to make wraps. I didnt see them on the menu. read more

The quality of the meat have definitely degraded since my last visit in late 2021. In my recent visit, I was left disappointed and unsatisfied with the quality of meat that I've received. Me and my partner ordered from the dinner menu number 13 - 16 and 20. When we received our first 3 order of meat(14, 15, 16), we noticed the poor quality and color of the meat as shown in the picture attached. The meat tasted like how it looked. We were satisfied with one the marinated steak while the other two tasted very bland like it was in the fridge for a long period of time. The beef thin brisket (13) was tasty but the same cant be said for the spicy squid (20). This food experience left a bad taste in our mouth and we eventually decided to leave earlier than we had plan. The quality of the meat left us very unsatisfied and given the total bill for 2 person almost $100 (Tips and Tax), it's a place we would not go back to. While the food left a bad impression, the service was wonderful. Our waiter was very helpful and quick to assist us. read more

Won KBBQ - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

Come hungry. And call beforehand to get on the waiting list if possible. $38 + tip/tax per person for dinner and weekends/holidays. Expensive but plenty of options. Also a more limited, more affordable lunch menu during weekdays. Great service and they cook everything for you. Favorites are probably the brisket, spicy chicken (barely spicy), small intestine (cooked crispy), and the pork jowl. read more

My mom and I walked into this place because we were hungry and trying to get out of the cold one Saturday so we didn't realize it was AYCE. Obviously this was our bad, so can't blame O2 for this so take this review with a grain of salt. On weekends, they charge dinner prices ($38pp). I recommend only ordering the marinated meats. Anything else stinks when you cook it and why not choose marinated when you have the option? I wish they had more variety in their menu (lots of variety in meat, just not much aside from that) because neither of us are huge meat eaters (we go to K-Bbq places for both the bbq meats and the appetizers which round out the meal) so if you are a serious carnivore, you'd probably enjoy it here. I would say the quality of meat was just ok. It's AYCE so manage your expectations. In terms of service, ours was ok. My main gripe was with our server immediately piling our entire serving of brisket on the grill and standing there cooking it for us before we politely had to tell him we could manage ourselves. There's only 2 of us so it would make more sense to cook in sections instead of overcooking our meat and then having it get cold because we couldn't eat it fast enough. Other than that, the servers were moderately attentive and got us extra napkins and lettuce pretty quickly. Out of personal preference, I wouldn't revisit, but not discouraging others if they absolutely love meat and have been curious about this place. read more

Came here since Padam Padam closed and never again. The waiter with the Toronto Blue Jays hat is awful and pushed bulgoogi on us as our first three meats even though we did not order it. Then he overcooks everything where much of the meat was inedible. The female waitress was nice but experience was already ruined. Banchan is limited and bland. Party of 5 so mandatory 20% tip already included. All in all a terrible experience. Go elsewhere. Trust me it's a waste of $50 a person. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I've been here about 4 times now for dinner and this is one of my favorite ACE spots in Queens. For $28 you get a great selection of meat + sides. All the meat here is seasoned perfectly. I would recommend getting the pork belly and the steamed egg which are my two favorites here!! I love that they cook everything for you too. 10/10!! read more

This was my second (and last time) coming to O2. Not sure if it was just an off night, but it was a really poor experience. 1. Service was NOT good.. maybe it's because we were in the back room but we were pretty much ignored the entire night. There is absolutely no help cooking the food here. We were 40 minutes in before getting a chance to order a bottle of Soju and get second round of meat. After we ordered 2nd round of meat, we never saw a waiter again. We had to ask bus boy to get our check. 2. Ventilation is nonexistent. We all smelled horrible and had to all go home and change our clothes. Also maybe no there is no AC but it was really hot in the back room. IMO - the back room shouldn't even have tables, it was a terrible dining experience! 3. No one ever came to refill our sauces. 4. Price went up significantly. It's now $34.95 per person (before tax/tip). 5. Other complaints - steamed egg wasn't good, lettuce wraps were all broken or had holes, sauces also lacking quality. O2 - what happened!? read more

The only time I travel far to Bayside, I go for food so you best believe I had high expectations! Coming here on Memorial Day holiday, the wait was painfully long. The restaurant was a lot smaller than I had thought with a main room and then a smaller area in the back. For a group of around 11, we were separated into 2 groups. Throughout the meal, there was one worker serving us. He was really chill in that he was young and actually tried to converse with us. However, he may have been too chill as he just grouped our order with the other group when we didn't want the same foods. The worker cooks for you (pretty slowly) but it's much better to cook it yourself so your time limit doesn't get taken away faster. And yes, they are apparently strict with their time limit as they were counting us down since the beginning. I prefer their beef over their pork. Their pork belly was too dry and stiff. The beef thin brisket was my favorite. Honestly, the place fell short of my expectations. The food was good, but there wasn't anything spectacular about it. I would go back again for the food, but not so much their customer service. read more

Great service - our server was so friendly and attentive. Good selection of meats for the price.

So much fooooddd but it was good! Good spot for an umpteenth date. I left there full!

So last night I went to this place and it was my first time ever eating Korean BBQ. We were a group of 6, we got there around 5pm on Saturday. We had to wait about 30 minutes since most tables only seat 4 people. Once we were seated, the table was already set with water, salad, two different types of kimchi as well as several dipping sauces. I really liked that each person had their own set of everything! The menu consists of different types of beef, pork and chicken to order. Everything we tried was delicious but our favorite was the spicy bulgogi pork. We also tried hanger steak, marinated chicken , shaved brisket and top blade steak (super tender and tasty). We also got two bottles of peach makgeolli which is a super light rice wine. It was really like juice, us three girls finished the two bottles like nothing. The guys got a bottle of soju, I'm not sure which one but the server asked if they preferred cocktails or hard liquor and they said hard liquor and boy was that stuff strong! The service was great, they cooked the food for us since we were all newbies to Korean bbq and they always kept our grill full. All in all it was a great dinner and we will definitely be going back. **The only reason I did not give this restaurant 5 stars is because when they brought over the chicken, they placed it on the grill next to the almost cooked steak. So then there was raw chicken and raw juices all over everything:( Tip: don't order chicken, it takes forever to cook and all of the meats and pork are way better anyway! read more

Came in here on a Monday night and were seated in about 10 minutes. The dining hall was rather packed but seemed to flow nicely. The waitstaff were tending to all the tables efficiently and frequently replenishing the tables with more meats to grill. Our server took our orders quickly and verified the age of all our children. Kids 4-7 are 50% of the adult fare which is $26. Pretty awesome! We tried different meats/marinades/cuts. It was a bit underwhelming in flavor so I asked for garlic, jalapeños and lettuce wraps as these were only provided upon request. The portions are very large (but maybe they were accounting for our larger group) and the waitstaff tend the iron cast inverted top flipping and cutting the meats to grill. Their steamed egg was a favorite...in total we ordered 6 of them! And their fried rice cakes are super spicy!! Great place, comfortable & quick seating, friendly staff, and an abundance of food granted them four stars!! One star left off for lack luster flavors. read more

My expectation was probably set too high before coming here. O2 took over a previous BBQ business at this location. We enjoyed cooking with the dome and the food BUT the waiter really took his time getting us more food and we had to sit several times waiting for food to come. It got annoying after a while especially when he disappeared for a while and the other waiters wouldn't help us. Hope you experience is better. read more

Came here on a Tuesday lunch time and I'm pretty shocked how much has changed cause of Covid. The servers do not cook at your table -- which was fine for us because we prefer to cook our own meats anyways. The quality of the meats were way better than we anticipated. Ordered the beef brisket, marinated pork steak and BulGoGi, and spicy pork steak. The BulGoGi came with onions which was nice to cook but I wish it was more tender. It was rough to eat. All the other meats were great in quality! And tasted amazing! Although we ordered the lunch set, I wished it included the lettuce. It's an extra fee if you would like it. read more

Everything is really good! I like the concept of all you can eat Korean bbq but it's A lot. read more

Hands down one of the best AYCE Korean BBQ spots ever! They tend to get pretty packed during prime eating hours, so anticipate a wait if you plan to go. You get to choose up to 3 meats from a set menu when you put in your first order. Their order sizes are decently sized, so make sure not to order too much or you won't be able to finish it! We ordered a variety from the Lunch B set and i think my favorite was the beef bulgolgi because the meat has been marinated and it was very flavorful without the need of the sauces they provide. We also tried the spicy fried rice cake and to be honest, it was not my favorite. I thought it was too doughy and glutinous that it just didn't really taste like other rice cakes that I've had before. The experience at O2 was overall great and I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

W O W. I never had korean bbq before and was super excited to finally try it out. My 2 friends suggested O2 so we all went one night for dinner. Parking was a little tricky since we had to find street parking. We parked not too far away so it is possible, you just have to circle around. We went on a Sunday night and it looked like a long wait since there were 2 bigger groups waiting, but was only 10 ish minutes. When you are seated, there are already sauces and condiments and the AYCE menu on the table. I attached a picture of the all you can eat menu. It is priced at 26 and change for unlimited meat and some sides such as rice, steamed egg, and a house salad. You can order up to 4 different meats at a time but can always order more afterwards! The service is very good; they cook for you right in front you and always are there if you need something else or are ready to order again. Just a tip, sometimes the oil from the cooking meat can come hit you at your seat so bring a sweatshirt if you are uncomfy with that feeling! Also don't put your cup too close to the cooker where the oil will usually hit. Since the cup is plastic it can get melted if it's too close (that happened to my friend's cup lol). Also gratuity was already included in our check! Loved this place and am ready to go back!! read more

My kids were pretty impressed with how fast and attentive the staff morved here. They were really friendly and recommended their choice of meat .. Which I listened to because "hey why not? They are Koreans at a Korean BBQ spot rite? The flavor of the marinated beef was really good and the sauce was to die for. So far in the bayside area, this is somewhere on the top of my go to AYCE, beating out picnic garden by a long stretch. And way cleaner also! read more

Two hours of all you can eat? SOLD. There are tons of Korean BBQ in the city, but O2 is by far the best I have had, although I still have a couple of KBBQ places to try. We came at 10:30pm on a Tuesday night and it was hella crowded... for a Tuesday night. We waited about 20 minutes which isn't too bad but given we were all hangry and the smell is delicious we were antsy to sit. During the weekend and Holiday, you have a limit of 100 minutes to sit down. Fair enough. We ordered the hanging tender steak, pork belly, pork jowl, top blade steak and spicy chicken. The hanging tender steak and the top blade steak was so good we ordered it twice. Staff was attentive. Great ambiance. The restaurant itself if fairly small, hence why the wait can be pretty long. If you don't mind eating good food, while listening to K-Pop then this is the place to go! read more

As a Native Korean, I think this place was too sweet for me. The side dishes and the marinated meat were too sweet. One thing though, the quality of the meat was definitely a lot better than any other AYCE BBQ place! Their side dishes need some upgrade and needs to be less sweet though. P.S. their kimchi wasn't that good but if you order pork belly and cook the kimchi on the side, it was okay Q. Would I go back? A. Eh, maybe when I'm craving it AYCE BBQ and until I find a better spot? read more

My sisters and I went for dinner here on last Sunday around 8pmish. Luckily the restaurant was not full, so we were able to get a table without waiting. There were so many varieties from different raw stuff, vegetable pickles, anyway you can choose as much as you like. Perfectly seasoned meats, not too greasy. It was definitely an amazing experience. Adding the reasonable price and helpful staff made it a perfect dinner out! read more

Won KBBQ - Spicy chicken and grapefruit soju - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

No Frills, just good quality meat. Limited seating , sometimes there is a wait. The service is great. Never disappoints!

Been trying to check out more kbbq places, saw the reviews and decided to give this place a shot. We came for dinner during a weekday. My friend and I were greeted fairly quickly and seated in the back. The menus were clearly posted which I definitely appreciated. Our server came and let us order, we decided to try a good variety of meats. Our server informed us that we had to cook ourselves due to covid (which was fine) but he also didn't give any instructions for how long to cook different cuts of the meat when I asked and just walked away. The food was still good but it wasn't until an hour and a half in when someone brought us more of the sauce that we found out they had given us old congealed sauce which was likely sitting there for awhile. Overall I was pretty disappointed with the service and I've had significantly better quality options for the same price. I'm guessing from the prior reviews that this is probably an abnormality but doesn't make up for the poor service. Unsure if I'll be returning. read more

This is an AYCE (All You Can Eat) Korean bbq place. It's a very busy place here so come early for seats. I love the fresh salads that they give. It's crisp and clean. You can tell it's made fresh. The selection of meat is great and the bulgogi is my favorite. I'm not a fan of the tteobokki though. The staffs bring you your order right away and they're friendly. read more

This is my first time trying this restaurant in bayside and it's so good! I was very full after eating the meats. I like that the grill is not an actual grill and it's a hard surface. Would definitely come again. Best time to come was 11:30pm on a weekend. No wait at all. read more

Won KBBQ - Beef brisket - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

So disappointed in their service and food. We were given a 100 min time limit but not sure why they keep lowering the gas grill to low when we change it to medium or high. We spent about 15 min cooking the thin beef brisket which should have cooked really quickly. Also, I would have to order multiple times because they keep forgetting... The servers were very inattentive too. As for the food, the marinated kalbi was basically not marinated. You don't get any kalbi marinade flavor from the meat. I won't be coming back. Going back to cast iron pot for ayce kbbq. Cast iron pot may be a little bit salty on their marinade but their servers are attentive and doesn't keep lowering the heat on the grill. Also the servers at cast iron pot let us know when we are reaching our time limit so we could order our last round. O2 didn't. Just kicked us out. read more

Came here for the first time on a random week day evening around 6pm and the place was packed. Waited around an hour for a two-top. $26.95 for AYCE is a great deal. This was the first AYCE KBBQ place I've been to where the servers cook the meat for you as well. We started with the spicy fried rice cakes and a steamed egg. The steamed egg is what made me choose this place for dinner. I love steamed eggs and O2 didn't disappoint. The egg was fluffy and flavorful. The best part was that I could order as many as I wanted! The fried rice cakes were good as well, but I didn't want to fill up on them. The protein choices are a bit limited here, but what they have is pretty good. The portions are HUGE, so if you're here with just two people, it is better to just order half portions so you can try more of the meats. We had the beef bulgolgi, the top blade steak, the pork jowl, the tender steak, and the spicy pork. Of all the meats, I enjoyed the pork jowl the most. They also give plenty of lettuce wraps, pickled daikon wraps, and salad to help round out the meal from being just a bunch of meat. My only complaint is that the meats they have are mostly very lean. So they tended to eat sort of dry. Part of it might have been that the person cooking for us tended to let things cook a bit more than they should have. If I were cooking myself, the meats would have spent 25% less time on the grill. The omission of kalbi is pretty evident here, but for $26.95, can't complain about them not giving a premium meat like that. They should have an option to add-on a portion of kalbi for an extra charge. read more

I love the O2 name. Breathe in the aroma! It may be packed and the wait can be over an hour, but it is certainly worth the wait for AYCE KBBQ. They've only been open for 4 months, so the newness/popularity is still sizzling. If you are waiting in the vestibule area, they keep the door open because the huge ventilation fans needed for the table grills creates a huge draft that blows in through the front door. They also keep the 2 separate air conditioners running full blast and if it's humid, water is dripping down, so stand away from those. You notice all these things when you're watching K-Pop videos for an hour. There is a 2 hour limit on AYCE, but I noticed that most people don't stay the full 2 hours, nor can they eat that much, so the turnover is relatively fast. Next time, I think we will eat later since they open until 2am on Fridays & Saturdays. After 9pm should be optimal after the crowds have dispersed. Once seated, a limited array of banchan are laid out, including a tossed salad. Besides the meat, you can order additional items such as beef soup (clear broth), bean paste stew and fried rice cake. These are AYCE also and I love the steamed egg. We accidentally ordered an extra steamed egg and we polished that off too. We also ordered extra bowls of rice and the waiter gave us a weird look because who orders more rice when you have unlimited meat?? But the meat always goes good with rice and you can top it with steamed egg. You can also ask for romaine lettuce if you like to wrap your meat before consumption like my wife does. The XL grilling dome looked to be cast iron and heated very evenly from the gas burner. It was at least 16" in diameter and easily handled 3 different types of meat with room to spare. The bottom trough channeled the grease through a hole and into a bowl. Just be careful if water gets on the hot grease because it will spit and splatter at you and I felt some on my bare arms. Ouch. But it's all about the MEAT! We started with bulgogi, marinated chicken and hanging tender steak. The steak wasn't marinated so needed a little help with the course salt or sesame oil & salt. Next on the grill was thin sliced brisket, pork belly & soy pork rib. The owner who was out front taking names stopped by and said that he made the onion, garlic and jalapeno dipping sauce himself and that we should try it with the pork belly. An excellent combo! I was pretty much done at this point, but my wife insisted on trying the spicy pork bulgogi. It was a good choice and required another bowl of rice to cut the spiciness, which I split with my son. Downside? No Kalbi! We didn't stay for the whole 2 hour limit, but we were close. I don't think we would have been tossed out anyway because it was quieting down and there was nobody in the waiting area . The trio of guys next to us should have been tossed out since they were way over 2 hours grilling the whole time we were waiting plus the time we were eating. And they had the gall to leave an embarrassing 8% tip because we heard them say they were low on cash! SMH read more

See if you can find parking in the shopping lot right across the street or you will most likely have to find parking in the neighborhood. As a group of 5 friends we had about a 30-40 minute wait around 8pm, so get ready to grab a seat in the lobby or hang out outside. If you do hang outside they will go outside and call your name when you're up. This is my second time here so I had a more focused choice, beef brisket and bulgogi were our favorites, maybe a little basic but I think these are great. You have about a little over an hour to eat as much as you can! Continually order after every completion. You can order the grape soju, my friends love it. The servers were great, funny and accommodating, we had John, a cool dude. Ask them to teach you how to play the cap game with the metal cap of a soju bottle. read more

This is such a good place to have a solid Korean barbecue lunch. Now I'm not a KB connoisseur I'm just a regular Joe Schmoe I think this place is amazing. I've been here probably five times since they opened and every time the food is amazing, the only reason I give it a four star review and not a five star review is because the service is constantly changing. One day I'll grow and the servers are very friendly and open to bringing you meet without giving you weird luxe the next time I'll go every time I ask for a plate of brisket it takes them 15 minutes to bring it out and they put it on without really being friendly as though they want you to leave. I would definitely go to the spot but just ignore the customer service because it's not going to wow you! read more

Food is 5 star amazing but service was average (-1 star). Different from other AYCE places. Given a list, you choose the meat and dishes and they will bring it, and cook it. Already on the table are side dishes and sauces. Their dipping sauce is great in my opinion, sweet and a hint of garlicky flavor. There are options given to you, for you to adjust the taste. Coming from someone who rarely eats meat, I love their beef thin brisket. Meat was seasoned nicely, and cut thinly. It cooked relatively fast. Wide variety of meat but lacks option in other dishes. Rice cake were quiet plain. It was basically boiled rice cake, stir fry for a hard texture and plated with hot sauce. Beef soup was alittle bland. Lack flavors in beef. Coming in super excited to try the place, quickly shut down with indifferent attitude greeting me. No side dishes were refilled. Hard for me to get the attention from servers/waiters. read more

O2 is my favorite all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant. I came here more than 5 times and so far I am quite satisfied. The best part is the good service provided by all male oppa. They take all the order you make and never complain you order too much! Also they would keep coming check if the beef is good or not they would also ask if you need more or not. The choice can be a bit too limited and there is no seafood options. But the meat quality is quite good. For a all you can eat restaurant the meat quality is better than other All you can eat BBQ restaurant. All the side dishes as well as the steamed eggs/soups are unlimited and you can order as much as you can! We love their steamed eggs:-))) Super recommend a good choice in Bayside! read more

They don't have kalbi, but they have everything else. O2 is my go to kbbq buffet. They are $10 less than the competition, have amazing selection (makchang is my favorite), cheaper beer and liquor than any other kbbq I've been to in NY, and most importantly the service is great. There's a reason why the wait for a table during dinner is so long. They are great. I've been going essentially once a week since they opened. I highly recommend O2. read more
