    If you know Koreatown in NYC, you know the drill - authentic spots everywhere, but good luck getting a table on a busy night. We lucked into Antoya and honestly couldn't have done better. Turns out there's a reason they've earned a spot in the Michelin Guide. The quality here is a notch above, with a wide variety of meats served in sequence so you can actually savor each course. The restaurant spans multiple levels - you might end up seated upstairs or even higher up - but wherever you land, you're in for a proper Korean BBQ experience. This is the kind of place where you settle in for the evening, traditional Korean style, with friends, family, and a serious amount of alcohol. We ordered the beer tower - literally gallons of beer with its own tap. One tower is supposedly enough for the night. We got two. Let's just say we stumbled out very happy. Fair warning: whatever you're wearing is now BBQ and garlic scented for life. Plan your outfit accordingly. You've been warned, and it's absolutely worth it.

    Atoya's attention to detail really shines. The food quality is immaculate, we tried the beef combo and loved it. It is more than enough for a party of 2! The kimichi stew was hearty and reminded us of the kimichi stews we grew up eating. Loved that they also provide some vegetables to ease the mind on the grill. The egg soufflés were wonderfully fluffy and there was a good spread of sides. They do not have radish paper but do have lettuce wraps. Staff were friendly and attentive, plenty of seating especially for a NY establishment.

    So happy I got to experience Antoya. I started with the half and half wings. The garlic wings are undoubtedly my favorite over the sweet and spicy. I've already made plans to come back just for the garlic wings. The bulgogi bibimbap was my other favorite - the whole bowl was flavorful and I also can't wait to come back for this bowl too. The glass noodles were cool, even better with what I imagine is a teriyaki sauce [the brown dipping sauce next to the orange dipping sauce]. To my surprise, the wagyu was my least favorite and I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected to. The mango mocktail is good.

    Looking for a high quality kbbq spot? Then get the premium platter from here. All the beef cuts were amazing. Every time I hear the sizzle, when we place the meat on the grill, my mouth just starts watering. It is on the pricer end for kbbq, but you got a treat yourself once in awhile. We ordered: PREMIUM MODUEM SO GUI (PREMIUM BEEF) MINI SOONDUBU

    This spot was nice and in the center of Koreatown in downtown. It was not a KBBQ that I was used to. They actually grill the meat for you right here, and you just eat! It was a pretty cool feature to experience. I went with a group and enjoyed meat and the rice. There was a lot of other stuff to eat, but not much of it was to my liking. We also tried their flatbread with scallions and pork potstickers which were pretty good. The premium meat we ordered was really good and flavorful. I have been to better places than this, but the best thing about this, was the vac they had for the smoke because I didn't go home smelling like smoking meat. I'd give this place a try, if you're into all the small stuff they bring to the table.

    Came here on a weekend evening and it was fairly busy. Thankfully we were able to be seated quickly for a party of 4. Ordered the following: beef platter - great variety & the scallion pancakes are delicious. The stir-fried glass noodles are ideal for sharing. For beverages I ordered the Bae Bae, perfectly sweet and an ideal compliment for the dishes. Great mocktail options as well. *bonus points for great playlist which featured Mariah Carey and Beyonce, and other classics. tldr: incredible Korean bbq, perfect for group or family settings. Would highly recommend

    Lunch sets here are amazing!! Really good deal and you get a ton of food for the price. Sides are also unlimited refills! The soup is delicious as well. FOOD: Chive and Brisket Lunch Set (8/10) - Haven't had chives in so long but super delicious! Goes well with the rice. Braised Short Rib Soy (8/10) - Solid short rib as well. Not mind blowing, but for the price, makes it feel amazing!

    Modern, clean, high quality Korean BBQ in Koreantown. This is a great choice if you have a mixed party of newbie to seasoned Korean bbq lovers.

    This is our second time here, my boyfriend has been a few other times on business trips because this places ambience and service never disappoints! We love being cooked for and the attentive team oriented staff make it great. We ordered premium combo of beef and lived all the varieties of banchan since that's important to us. We got some soju as well and everything tastes so fresh and has great quality. The meat was cooked perfect for us and we absolutely loved this meal. Don't sleep on Antoya it's the bomb!

    Tried out this place. Ordered the pork platter and an order of brisket. It was really good only thing I wasn't a fan was the marinated pork. It was too sweet for my tasting. Otherwise def recommend to check out this place!!

    Meat quality was exceptional! The rib eye was so juicy and tender. They bbq it for us which is nice. Lots of banchan included. The drink selection is good. I would definitely come back again.

    it was okay! i've seen this place in ktown for a long time and finally tried. i only got a la carte menu items, didn't try the real bbq. It was decent! but i feel like it's not as good as the other new and rising korean restaurants in the area. the bartender was my waiter and took care of me. he is so sweet. didnt love the ambiance as much as nubiani, aghassi, etc.

    Vaccination still required?

    Sadly yes they still require vaccination as of 3/25/22.

    When is Antoya's last call for food and/or reservations?

    Do they accept solo diners?

    Yes but becareful of what you order . They are not clean .

    Do you have to make a reservation?

    Recommended but not necessary!

    I just made a reservation for tonight 5 minutes ago. I want to cancel it - will I be charged the cancellation fee?

    Does it serve BBQ for lunch?

    I went during lunch so yes!

    Will the BBQ be delivered as cooked or raw? For delivery, not stay or take out

    The BBQ is serve raw. The server will help you cook the meat at the table but we find it more enjoyable to cook it ourselves. Korean BBQ is always better to dine in, It's more of a dining experience with the companies you're with.

    Can we bring our own bottle (of wine) to this restaurant?

    No I don't think so.

    Is there a coat/bag check?

    no there isnt :(

With a price of $2 per skewer, we ordered 1 beef, 2 lamb, 1 chicken gizzard, and 1 chicken skewers. They cook all skewers to order and take credit payment (tap). If you want to pay in cash, make sure you have the exact amount. The meat was so flavorful and the fat was rendered beautifully off of the meat! I'm docking 1 star because they had accidentally given us 4 skewers instead of 5 that we ordered when they gave up the skewers wrapped in tin foil, anddddd after consuming the skewers did we realize we did not get the variety we ordered, but instead 4 lamb and 1 chicken gizzard. The lamb was honestly so delicious though we weren't even mad!

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found the restaurant moderately crowded. We were greeted promptly and seated upon entry. I found the space comfortable and relaxed. Our waiter was polite and attentive. We ordered the corn bread as an appetizer. I prefer sweet cornbread versus jalapeño, so it wasn't my thing. However, my cousin is the opposite and she really enjoyed it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, greens, and biscuit. I didn't care for the greens, but the biscuit and pulled pork was excellent. My sister had the ribs, greens, and dirty rice. She didn't like any of her food. She said the ribs had a lot of gristle. There was very little meat on the bone. I tasted the rice and agreed with her assessment. It wasn't that good. Our cousin had the chicken, mac-n-cheese, and baked beans. She liked her food. My cousin had been to Virgil's before many years ago and said this experience mirrored past ones. We all ordered dessert as well. i had the strawberry shortcake, which wasn't great. The strawberries were fresh, and I liked the whipped cream, but the "shortcake" was actually the same biscuit that was served with my meal. It wasn't sweet enough and just didn't work well. I ended up picking over the dessert, so most of it went to waste. My sister had the key lime pie which she didn't like. My cousin had the banana pudding which she enjoyed. Overall, the experience got mixed reviews, but I'd visit Virgil's again in the future for sure. The bill ended up being about $150 plus, if I recall correctly, because we ordered alcoholic beverages as well.

The restaurant has a very authentic Korean BBQ atmosphere, making the dining experience feel even more enjoyable. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. One helpful tip: if you're making a reservation, be sure to double-check that you're going to the correct location. There's another restaurant with the exact same name directly across the street, so it can be a little confusing. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Since our program covered the expenses, we didn't pay anything out of pocket. Now I enjoy a good BBQ cookout at home as much as the next family, but don't care for it as a dining experience. My employer catered BBQ luncheons from time to time, and even then I wasn't crazy about it. Here in Hill Country, a room was reserved for us (party of 36). Our dinnerware resembled army mess tins lined with sanitary papers; our glasses resembled moonshine jars complete with screw threads at the rim for lids. Our dinner was a catered set of longhorn cheddar mac & cheese (quite good), sliced brisket (meh), market chicken (a little tough), fresh baked cornbread (dry & hard) and collard greens (good but could be saltier). I consumed massive amounts of mac & cheese and collared greens to help swallow down the almost rock-hard cornbread. Desert was chocolate chip cookies (that wasn't bad). Some members of the group ordered liquor (at their own expense) to celebrate the good time they were having. Customer service was less than stellar. The waitress did not inform us that soft drinks were complimentary until after we finished eating. That wasn't all. The restroom was located downstairs past the bar room. During my two visits - before and after the food was served - the same staff member was there cleaning. He had just finished the sinks when I went in the first time. On the second visit, the front door was blocked from the inside by a pail - he was mopping the floor. Couldn't he have waited till the off-peak hours to do that?? Customer service and cornbread were enough for me to not recommend this restaurant.

First, the burgers are very small, lack flavor and there is nothing special about them. I've had a better tasting burger from Steak & Shack for a fraction of the cost. The fries were very cold and looked like they were sitting on a holding table for an extended period. I sent the fries back only to be served with more cold fries. Service was also lacking. When I complained about the cold fries, the server didn't seem to be pleased and was very hesitant to take them back. At a cost of more than $45 for two burgers and fries, I expected more.
