    lunch special till 3pm weekdays 4/5 Sundubu jjigae $16- really good but a bit too spicy for me so I'd say it's a medium spicy Banchan: 3/5 Dubu- the peanut sesame sauce is sweet, cuda done w/o peanut, Tofu is plain w/o it 4/5 kimchi, kkaktugi- pretty fermented, spicy but so good 3/5 bok choy- actually wish it was spicier 3/5 Odeng- sweet 3/5 Japchae- decent, cuda done w/o bell peppers Took awhile To awhile to get our check & to-go containers cuz there was only 1 server

    With so many places to choose from in KTown, we decided to give this place a try. We ordered a premium platter for 2-3 people since we had 3 people. It we all ate some stuff at a reception earlier. Being a Wednesday, we got a piece of wagyu each as a free bonus. There were so many different bon chons and our server was attentive and explained each cut of beef we were tasting. All of it was AMAZING! We were offered refills of the bon china if we wanted. The place was spacious and clean and quiet enough for conversations. So happy we came to Antoya.

    All the stars to this place!!!! Wow what a fantastic experience. From beginning to end, we were so happy. We ordered the premium meat platter for 2. It came with the most delicious side plates and the meat was fresh, fatty and juicy. It was phenomenal!!!! I highly recommend this place for a fun Korean bbq dinner.

    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!

    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!

    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 :(

We ordered their large beef package which was more than enough for four people. We even had some leftovers! The meat was so tender and practically melted in your mouth.

The whole space felt luxurious and upscale which made the experience feel extra special. Another thing I really appreciated was that I didn't leave the restaurant smelling like Korean BBQ! It is on the pricier side, but if you're looking for high-quality Korean BBQ with excellent service and a luxurious atmosphere for a special occasion, this is a great place to go.

We got the large set for 4 and there was more than enough food for everyone.

They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end. Another nice bonus is that if you pay in cash (there's an ATM inside), you get about 10% off. If you don't mind spending a little more for really good quality and service, I'd definitely recommend this place!
