Went for bites and sips before a Bon Jovi concert. Stopped here and thought it was great. Food and service was excellent- and it was happy hour. Great place to stop before garden event - presumably is packed before ranger and Knick games- hopefully because has a nice vibe and is fresh and clean. We are in from out of town and just expected the garden variety bar like you would encounter outside a stadium or ballpark/ was pleasantly surprised. read more

Wooga is very convenient especially if you're heading to or from MSG. It is literally right across the street so it's an easy pick if you're looking for a casual spot for drinks and korean bar food. The space has a fun vibe with tons of tv's throughout. Showing a variety of sports games. One thing to note is that they play Korean music so you won't hear the game audio. Unless you sit right by the bar. Something to keep in mind depending on what kind of viewing experience you're looking for. I went after the game at MSG and it was a great place to wind down. For the table we got the pepper fried chicken which was crispy, well seasoned chicken thigh pieces with peppers. For my main, I ordered the beef tartare bibimbap, which came with rice and a selection of small dishes. Portion size was great. We also added the parmesean French fries for a small bite which came with two different dipping sauces. To finish it off, we got dessert. Which was the cheesecake topped with strawberry drizzle and cornflakes, plus two scoops of raspberry ice cream and one scoop of chocolate ice cream. Everything about the meal was great. Overall, I think that Wooga is a great go to spot to check out if you want good food, drinks, and a nice atmosphere. read more

We visited Wooga for dinner the night we arrived in NYC at the recommendation of lunch server. If we were in party mode, this would be a great spot! It's dark with neon decor and great music. The menu is interesting. I expected only Asian but it was fusion. We were a party of 3. One friend ordered a teriyaki beef dish, one ordered something called cheese dukbokki, and I ordered rose pasta with shrimp. I'm not a huge pasta eater but they had me intrigued with the rose sauce and it was as good as it sounded. The sauce was the best part of the dish. I wasn't impressed with the other two plates and neither were the gals who ordered them. The non-alcoholic beverages such as Coke Zero are not fountain drinks and are served individually. The service was good and the restroom was clean. All in all, we had a good experience. read more

Wooga was amazing! it looks a little like a bar, but you have to go downstairs and have your meal there. People bring options to you and then you change the one that you want. They come directly to the table and make it for you at the table itself. We had a really delicious stirfry with the soup. It was large space and they have a lot of seating with larger tables more for like eight people almost. The food portions are really large as well. they adapt and adjusted based on the number of people in your party. I will say that it does look a little bit like an in indoor bar space but it would be great for a winter especially when it's cold outside to have delicious hot soup. The staff was really helpful and communicated well and told us what we needed to order and how they had the system set up. read more

Wooga lunch menu is back and it's amazing. On my latest trips here I've had the spicy pork bibimbap and fish katsu. The katsu is out of the world and I hope it stays on the menu. The drinks are happy hour priced during lunch and they're very well priced for a midtown location. This place deserves a lot more fame. read more

When you walk in, there's a bar, which was a cool vibe. The you go to the back for the restaurant. Decent amount of space. Service was quick, and we appreciate that they were realistic about the amount of food. The hot pot was huge but honestly not that good. The kimchi pancake was solid. Menu wasn't too interesting. read more

This space is much bigger than I had anticipated based on pictures and reviews. There's ample seating and it's well staffed. I didn't try any entrees - as I mostly went for the appetizers and drinks. As far as apps go, the dumplings were flavorful and a bit on the sweeter side. The edamame was as one would expect. I had a strawberry highball and it was definitely strong. The strawberry syrup was very artificial tasting though, I'm not sure I'd get it again. Staff was attentive. read more

The food was ok. The service from the host was suspect. However the bartender realized I was waiting way too long and tried offering me a drink. I declined. I just wanted my food so I could go. This place is very much a dive. I would have never gone here on my own from walking by. It was recommended to me and I think the food was a win. However, don't tell a customer something takes 15 minutes that takes 25. Not cool. The lighting is dim but that's expected because it's a Bar and Lounge. Again I would like to point out that the bartender tried. We got wings, 5 for $12 we got spicy and sweet and those were tasty. The soy garlic was not. Very mid. Mozzarella sticks 6 for $10. Best thing in the order. I'd eat these again. Parmesan fries for $10 not Parmesany at all. No seasoning. read more

I have been here twice, once at the bar n once in dining area. My friend suggested this spot to catch the Knicks game and I must say it's definitely a nice n lively vibe. I got the spicy wings ($9) which was solid and has a kick to it. The Wooga cheese burger ($16) comes with fries and chicken nuggets! On my second visit I got the prime marinated galbi ($48) which was delicious and the chicken sandwich ($16) which was tasty. If you're in the mood for good food and drinks with chill vibes, I highly recommend Wooga. * 4.5 Stars * Bar and dine in area (Both sections have TVs) * Good service * At the bar, tip is included on bill (Ask to confirm) * Fair prices * happy hour read more

Being able to catch up w/friends Happy Hour ending at 7PM Tasty food AND dranks Cute decor Wooga will definitely see me again! Came here after work and caught up w/a few friends. The service was a bit slow in beginning BUT I got there a bit later than my friends. However, after that - everything was great. Had the following: Honey Soy Garlic Wings (not as great as Mad for Chicken, BUT it beats trekking it to Qns. I haven't visited the others) Fried Beef & Pork Dumplings Yuzu Margarita w/sugar rim (now this was smooth AND delicious which equals DANGEROUS ) Lychee Martini (the vodka comes through the one but the Lychee isn't far behind.) Spent $45 (tip included; remember this was HH) read more

A small group of us came on a Thursday evening for happy hour and it was pretty packed. We had to wait for seating at the bar to open up. I wished I known to make reservations ahead of time for a table. They have a happy hour deal on drinks. The calamari was good and easy to share. I definitely hope to come back to try their army stew. read more

Been to this place multiple times and always sat in the very roomy bar area in the front. They also have a big dining area in the back. They use to have happy hour until 9pm but now it's only until 7pm. However, their drink prices (and food prices) are not high at all for the area and the cocktails are very strong and tasty. Food is also very solid. We got the wings and stir fry gizzards this time and both were very yummy. This spot will continue to be a staple for us especially being right across the street from Penn station so easy to catch the train. read more

Came for a birthday dinner and it had nice dinner vibes. We ordered the Beef Japchae which was pretty meh. I feel like it was a lot of veggie and some noodles. The prime bone in tomahawk w/ fries was pretty large even for the 4 of us. I wasn't the biggest fan of steak and it didn't make me change my mind. The wang galbi hotpot was nice and warm. read more

Their happy hour menu is amazing. Most items are less than $10 and have a good portion size. I have come here twice, and I highly recommend. The first time the wings were a little off according to my friend who frequents so, I decided to give them another shot and I was glad I did. The food is so good! I am NOT someone who eats spam but, their fried spam is really good as well. I wish their corn was also a little cheesier but its seasoned well. The service is great, there is plenty of seating downstairs if upstairs is crowded. Overall, a great space with good vibes and better food. I will go back whenever I am in the area. read more

Despite being a Korean restaurant but they have very good steaks, especially during the daily happy hour, the price is unbeatable. Everyday they serve a different cut during happy hour at a discounted price. They change from time to time. I was there on a Monday when the served galbi, the meat is so tender and flavorful. Two of us ended up ordering two because it was so good. The chicken wing are also amazing, very crispy and flavorful, still very crispy when glazed heavily with sauce. Service is fast, just wish the table is a bit bigger feels a little tight as we were trying to fit everything on the table with the complimentary sides read more

COME HERE FOR THEIR HAPPY HOUR after 4PM!!! Wooga Crispy Chicken with Fries $12 (1000/10 ) Soo juicy and tender. I think it's the best crispy chicken burger I've ever had!!! Lychee Martini $9 (100/10 ) Really good I had about 4 of these! Broccoli Rabe $9 (10/10 ) Really good and smart to have on the bar menu because there aren't many vegetable options. Soy Garlic Wings $9 (8/10) I was expecting more which is probably why it disappointed a little. A little too dry for me but it may be because everything was too good in comparison! I don't recommend their lunch buffet weekdays 11am-2:30pm. Not my favorite meal and you have an hour limit. But I've been coming back for happy hour! I cannot wait to come back for their steak!!! read more

The all you can eat lunch option at Wooga is so worth it! $20 for an hour of eating and $9 house cocktails? Totally worth it. A big party of us came for 1.5 hours of eating and when we sat we had the option to start eating and ordering right away. My favorites include the Inari, kimbap, chicken wings, japchae, and the kimchi options. Lots of protein, carbs, fruit, and veggies to choose from! My lychee martini was only $9 and it was strong! I'd definitely recommend! read more

Wooga - Buffet plate - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Service is pretty good, the waiter did take a while to come after i stated that i needed more time to decide on my food. Food took a while to come. Food was really yummy. Im not sure if i would come back again, but i may for the fried spam masubi. Fried spam masubi was delicious, definitely recommend. Really and i mean really spacious, and has a cool vibe. Feels like both a pub and a diner. Fried chicken is really filling, so i would recommend a small. Turntable burger was good, just a little too much cheese for me, and the first slice wasn't melted on the patty. I was just on there. The burger is also only cooked one way. But it was really flavorful. The sauce also comes on the wings NOT on the side. Overall, this place is good and would recommend to others. read more

Came here to celebrate my bday and the back nice area was completely empty on a tuesday night. The servers were nice but didn't seem to know too much about the different types of meats that they had. The ambiance near the bar area is completely different from the area in the back. The back is more fine dining vibes. Prices were a little higher than their values especially because I didn't think any of the dishes were too out of the ordinary? They were good, but nothing too special. The sides that came with the steak were just so so and felt like they were kind of there to just fill you up. The portion size was good though! The marinate is really good for the pork so you can choose that for the cheaper option than the galbi!! I would like to come back for the more casual, bar area for their wings and happy hour specials! read more

Overall rating: 4.5 I went here with a group of 6 friends and was very shocked by the quality of the food. From the reviews I read before coming, it seemed like an all-you-can-eat spot, which wasn't what I was in the mood to try. In an initial view, the place is very loud. It's a bit hard to hear anything, including your thoughts. But the drinks hit. And the food was amazing! I was so surprised!! Only have one picture because we ate it all. Around 8 dishes for 5x people was perfect. It came down to about $25 pp. Definitely a place to go with a group! read more

Stopped by with friends for happy hour and loved that they offer a late-hour option at the bar--such a great perk! However, I wasn't too impressed with their cocktails and would personally opt for a bottle of soju instead. That said, the wings were fantastic--crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely come back for a full sit-down meal next time! read more

Wooga - Receipt - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This spot became quite popular recently due to its affordable all you can eat Korean barbecue buffet lunch special, and I had a chance to visit for a work lunch last week. For $23 (excluding tax and tips), you get to choose from a buffet of Korean barbecue meats, rice, pasta, sushi, kimbap, soups and fruits. You get an hour which I think is enough for that price to be honest and you'll likely fill up quite quickly if you get a lot of the meats. I thought the selection was pretty great and tasted just as great! I'd say the only thing I wish was on there would have been pork belly but the pig trotters were also very nice. Maybe they have them for the dinner menu. Other than that, for just $23 a person, it was definitely worth what was available. The place itself is very clean and spacious and I'd be interested in trying out some items from their dinner menu. read more

Came in for the special which was the $10 for all you can eat wings til the last day of February. First we waited on line for a good hour til the doors opened. I saw previously from their Instagram posts that there will be a long line. So we decided to get there early. When the doors opened, they sat everyone at the bar for the special. Huge bar. (Small seats). We were packed in there (which was to be expected). Was told that there was a drink minimum. Ordered the margarita. It was ok. They came around and started asking what kind of wings do we want to start with and was informed that there will only be 3 rounds of wings, so not so much unlimited, even though it was plenty. 6 wings comes per serving. They had about 3 options. I started with the soy garlic wings. They were delicious. Crispy. Tasty. I loved them. The second round I ordered plain crispy wings. They were tasty as well. I couldn't manage to get the third serving because I was stuffed. So thanks so much for that. Service was amazing. They kept refilling the water. Bartender was on point. She did her thing. She made sure everyone got their drinks. Food came out prompt and hot. I liked that. I will return for more food options. Looking forward to it. Thanks. read more

Came for happy hour upon a friend's recommendation and we learned that it was happy hour all night long?!? It was a great deal with solid drinks/snacks! Drinks: -Yuzu margarita was very refreshing (especially in this hot weather). Citrus flavors were prominent but it wasn't too sweet or strong! -Pineapple highball was perfect for someone like me who likes sweeter drinks, but you can ask for sweetness/syrup adjustments. -Plum highball also solid with more of a herbal profile Snacks: -Takoyaki were tasty overall but felt like the outer layer was a little too thick -Wings - there are 5 different flavors to pick from. They came hot and crispy, although felt like the meat could have been a little bit more seasoned -Broccoli rabe - Love that they have veggie options for happy hour menu!! These broccoli pieces were actually good with a garlic/soy based sauce. The location was pretty spacious with a bar in the front and a whole restaurant area in the back. The neon lights were very appropriate for the bar vibes. Everything was clean. Staff were nice and polite. They also sat us down even when our larger party wasn't complete. Overall a great deal for happy hour in Ktown!! read more

Came here shortly after this placed opened and was attracted by the amazing happy hour. The prices for drinks can't be beat. The cocktails could use a little refining but overall pretty good. The moscow mule felt light on ginger and heavy on lime. The food itself was a little hit or miss. Some things were lacking flavor and some things were amazing. For food, we got the Parmesan fries which were great (though hard to mess up. The seafood pancake was standard. Boneless fried chicken was really good. Service was friendly and really they were really nice. I think they hinted at making some changes, so I would come back again and see what they cook up! read more

My friend and I came for the $1 wings promotion happening all month long. The wings are really good and crispy. They have three flavors to try and we got the Soy Garlic and Spicy Soy Garlic.

It's really good Korean fried chicken and I'd highly suggest taking part in this promo before March ends! read more

Went to the ayce lunch at 12 had a good selection of korean staple foods. Highlights for me include the kimbap the spicy pork the fried chicken and the fried squid and the galbi The ambiance is very fancy and intimate with timeless music playing. The kimbap is classically made and authentic taste. The fried chicken was crispy and golden brown tender and juicy. The galbi was sweet and tender.The kimchi was not very pungent and not strongly fermented so it was forgettable and could easily be a skip for me. I heard from the server that they change out the food everyday so they have differing options everyday so I would go again to try something new. Also there is happy hr available so u can pair your meal with a quick cheap drink as well. read more

I was so intrigued by the setup of this restaurant. Walking in, you'll see an area that looks like a typical bar on a Friday night. (Even on a Monday evening, the bar area looked almost fully seated, but that might have been because of the grand opening promotion.) The back has a section that looks like the perfect date night spot. The Sweet and Spicy Boneless Thigh is perfectly crispy, and the sweet and spicy flavors were perfectly balanced. This might just be one of my favorite Korean fried chicken places in NYC, no lie. The Wooga Dukbokki's fried dumplings were perfectly crispy. As someone who has honestly not had kim-mari before (due to my long seaweed-hating phase), the kim-mari was also really good and crispy. It all had a perfect hint of spice. Usually, I eat tteokbokki just for the rice cake and not the toppings, but if I come back and order it again, it would for sure be the other way around. The service was also great, and the servers were very attentive. I would come back someday to try the steak. read more

This is a solid place to go to for lunch if you are in the 34th St., Hareld Square area. Since it's a lounge, it's not very crowded during the lunchtime hours, but that doesn't mean you won't get a nice piping hot fresh meal. The staff was very nice and answered all our questions. This place is no longer a lunch buffet, though they offer a decent size lunch menu with the choice of chicken wings for five for five dollars as a happy hour special. I ended up getting the pork broth soup, which was with pork slices And a mild soup base. The banchan was plentiful and fresh. My kid had the Bulgogi bowl which was very tasty and even had a good layer of crispy rice on the bottom that was delicious. Her also came with a side of kimchi soup. Everything was fairly priced at around $15 per entrée. read more

Have been here twice and was blown away by the service! The staff are all so kind and recognized us on our second visit. Their happy hour deals are really great and it's nice that it ends at a reasonable time. Highly recommend the dumplings (fried to perfection), the skirt steak (so fresh, perfectly cooked with fresh herbs, and crispy fries) and the seafood pancake! The space is pretty big so it's nice that we never feel rushed during our meal to leave. Highly recommend next time you're in K-town! read more

This place and brand new, but they get a lot of things right. Location is really convenient for any folks trying to catch a game at MSG or train at Penn Station. It's 1 avenue away from most ktown restaurants and bars but has the heart of a ktown establishment - excellent music and great food For food, we got the Parmesan fries with their gochujang ketchup (very tasty), seafood pancake (also good), boneless fried chicken (really recommend), and the uni stone bowl which was pretty good as well. I would order everything again. The drinks are decent but some cocktails could use some fine tuning. We loved the vesper martini and the margarita, but the Moscow mule could use more ginger beer and the Manhattan could be a bit more intense (maybe more whiskey?). Overall, this is a great spot and would go back again. read more

Came here to meet up with visiting family. Made a reservation but the app needs a credit card for the reservation. If you use the app, watch out for cancellation fees. But if you will be eating early dinner, better to walk in. We were seated and ordered 5 items from the menu. The tomahawk steak we wanted was not available. Its only available on certain day. Best to ask what is good and recommended, which we did and glad that we did so. The eating area is dark but clean. Service is attentive and friendly. Food was good, but not something to remember. Overall a good experience. Recommended. read more
