Chicken Teriyaki dish: amazing
Michael P.

Food was awesome, staff is really accommodating. Chill atmosphere that makes you feel you are in Asia the moment you start climbing the stairs. We watched a World Cup match up there. Great to not feel rushed out the door. Simple drink selection.

I only came here for drinks one night but had a good time! The vibes in here are great with lots of neon lights, a cool Korean fishcake stall-inspired seating area, and lots of tables for big groups. Service is so sweet. They have so many drinks and food deals here, it's perfect for a big group or night out!

The best Korean bar food I've had in the states and I'm from LA where there is a large Korean community. Everything was done just right. Millennial Korean music sets the nostalgic mood and staff are great as well. Would strongly recommend.

Came here to have Thursday dinner with my daughter's bestie and boyfriend, and celebrating a few October bdays. The restaurant is up some skinny stairs to the 2nd floor. It was somewhat crowded for a Korean restaurant. No parking but easier to get by train. We reserved a tale for 8 in the back but being in the back, service was always missed by the staff. We had a selected amount of dishes but none that was outstanding to me. I did like their wings, their pork belly bbq and pork Kalbi but everything else was ok. We did the buy 2, get 1 free deal. We did buy how many bottles of soju grape. Also the lychee cocktail was good. I thought the prices were a little steep for the portion we received but this place is not really for the food but drinking, I think as most tables had more drinks the food so we did the same. Hehehe. We had a good time none the less. Can't seem to think we would come back though because the service was lacking at times. [100R,2025]

Soup Bulgogi

We came there for a quick dinner before a concert at MSG, and we Loved it!!! Their menu offered great varieties, and we got 7 items for 6 of us. Everything was Flavorful and Delicious! Glad the portion wasn't too big so we were able to finish them all. If we had more time, we would have ordered more! Here are what we got... - soup bulgogi: rice cakes were so cute and bulgogi was tender - grilled squid: can't miss this - shrimp/scallion pancake: not enough LOL - pork belly bbq: not greasy, just perfect - chicken teriyaki: so tender and flavorful with chives - grilled mayo mackerel: delish - japchae: how can we not have this! Not enough though LOL The waitress was friendly and helpful w/ suggestions, and she cooked the soup for us too. The place is cute, on the 3rd floor, and they even have karaoke upstairs! Too bad we had a concert to catch It's only 7 min walk from Penn Station and MSG. So glad our friend suggested this place based on raving reviews. We will definitely come back here if we're in Korean town again!

Going to Anytime kitchen almost feels like a ritual when we're looking for a place to sit, drink, and eat good snacks on a late night out. The service is great as usual. For this visit, we opted for the Street Set which came with tteokbokki, fishcakes, veggie dumplings, and some form of veggie tempura. The fish cake was extremely filling. The dumpling and tempura were filled with glass noodles. The tteokbokki was good but spicy. We paired this with cocktails. Our table got the lychee, blue aloe, and white peach flavor. There is a current deal going on where you can buy three soju/beer/cocktail, and get one free (make sure you check out their website for any deals as there is one for Halloween right now). The blue aloe tasted the best. The lychee was too sweet but was manageable after the ice watered it down. Definitely skip the peach.

Alex M.

Overall: B // 4 stars Great Korean food that offers comfort style foods and many drinks at a competitive price. Their menu is expansive with lots of different categories of dishes, and its impressive that they can execute all of them seemingly well. (Fried Octopus: A) - Well conceived dish with tenderly crisp baby octopus tossed in an addictive wasabi herb dressing. Great item on their "B2G1 deal". (Anytime Su Yook: A) - Comforting and healthful dish that simmers tender beef, enoki, and garlic chives in a bone broth with a wasabi soy dip. (Brisket Ttbeokki: A) - A hotpot dish with lots to offer from rice cake to ramen to fish cake to beef to vegetables. Love that the broth has spice that complements and does not overpower the food.

Unagi Teriyaki BBQ

Anytime Kitchen is a cute little spot in the heart of Ktown! I visited on a weekend and it wasn't hard to get a table. The atmosphere is nice, fun, and truly a vibe. Service was standard. The food was actually pretty good. We tried the two entrees for a free appetizer deal, though I wouldn't really call it a deal since the portions are small and the entrees are on the pricier side. The hot entrees come out over a little heated fire, which was pretty cool and keeps the food hot. The eel was delicious and flavorful. I also ordered the sweet and spicy chicken, which was tender and tasty but not spicy at all. My favorite part of the visit was their cocktails, which come served in cute little bags. I tried the lychee and thought it was worth the $19. It's definitely a fun option to check out when in Ktown.

Eel
Dan G.

Convenient spot for food and drinks when out in ktown. The buy 2 get an appetizer free mostly serves to normalize the prices of the dishes, making it similar to restaurants around. For food, the eel was surprisingly good, and the popcorn chicken added as a nice appetizer. Their portions seemed slightly smaller than before, and their alcohol portions are also on the smaller side. The restaurant was quite packed when we got there, but considering that, the food came out in a reasonable time. Overall, would recommend this place as an option if wanting to get drinks along with dinner with friends in a semi-loud environment.

Michelle Z.

To preface this review, my friends got food poisoning here lol. I didn't though, but I didn't eat as much. The dishes were pretty mid. All the portions are so so tiny, which explains why there's that buy 2 get 1 appetizer free deal. The anytime suyuk blows. I'm not sure why it was beef shank, but it tasted like absolutely nothing and was paper thin for $31. Tteokbokki was hard and kind of cold. The baby octopus was good, but we suspect that this is what gave half our group food poisoning. My favorite thing was the popcorn chicken appetizer, but it was just standard fried chicken. The best thing here is their lychee makgeolli slush. So good so sososo good. But that's it! Not my favorite pocha in Ktown by any means and won't be coming back.

Anytime Su-Yook & Blue Aloe Punch

Great late night dining spot located on the 3rd floor of an unsuspecting building in Koreatown. This place has really good vibes and a nice selection of Korean dishes. No bells, no frills, just good times... As a side note, it's an easy walk to/from Madison Square Garden, so it's totally worth a stroll...

Brisket Doenjang Jeongol
Kathleen W.

Made a reservation for 6 here for a Sunday evening and was easily seated at a large table. We decided to take advantage of there buy 2 get 1 free deal and got Brisket Doenjang Jeongol, Budae Jeongol, Spicy Chicken and Cheese Tteokbokki, Popcorn Chicken, Spicy Squid and Pork Belly, and Vegetable Japchae. We also got cocktails which came in cute drink pouches. Everything came out pretty quickly and I liked how the stews were kept warm on a mini stove. All the food was pretty flavorful tho there could have been a bit more meat in the doenjang and the spicy squid and pork. My favorite was the popcorn chicken which had a nice crunch and spicy sweet glaze. Overall a good place to grab drinks and a get some classic drinking Korean foods.

Bar area
Tracy D.

Lucked out with this fun spot. We were looking for a place in Koreatown that wasn't crowded or a long wait, we walked in and were able to sit at the bar like area. We had popcorn shrimp, mackerel, lychee cocktail and beer. Place was hopping and has a karaoke area downstairs. The food was so very good. Yum, yum.

Is this a fun place for brunch or more casual, is there good music playing?

More casual sit down place. Not a bunch place. They do play music and itwas fun to listen to.

How far in advance do you accept reservations?

Hi, Thank you for reaching out to Anytime Kitchen!… 

How do I find it?

Great question! It's super hidden for some reason. There's another restaurant on the ground level with lots of glass windows. Walk towards that and you'll see stairs. Go up those till you see the restaurant. I couldn't find it at first either!

When is happy hour?

6pm - 8pm Sunday - Thursday

Nice accompaniment to the heavier dishes. -KFC: pretty standard for Korean fried chicken, but enjoyed. -Kimchi Pancake: I couldn't really taste the cheese, but this was good and I'd order again. Great to share. -Grilled Bulgogi: flavorful, lean. Would order again. -Spicy Grilled Pork Japchae: this was our least favorite dish. Not sure if something was off in the kitchen, but this didn't taste like japchae at all. We didn't finish and I wouldn't order again.

Unfortunately I didn't come with a big enough group to try everything, but I did get to try their kimchi fried rice ($17), perilla oil noodles ($18), and hojok galbi ($56) from their lunch menu. The meal came with a simple set of banchan-- some kimchi that had a good salty-sour balance, and an addicting sweet potato salad that was almost dessert-like. These banchan ended up pairing really well with everything we ordered, and we had to keep on asking for refills. I almost never order kimchi fried rice at a restaurant because it's something that I can make at home. However, I was glad I got to try it here. The bacon added so much smoky flavor and I was impressed at how chewy the rice kernels were. The perilla oil noodles were very refreshing. They came with a savory but light sauce. I really loved the combination of shallots, jalapenos, and seaweed that added so much texture and freshness to the dish. Finally, the galbi! Yum! The beef was so tender and the sauce almost reminded me of those microwave salisbury steak meals, but in the best way possible. The salad on the side was so good with the beef (+sweet potato salad = heaven). The chopped roasted peanuts added almost a Southeast Asian vibe to the dish. If I had to find something to complain about, I would say that the peppers on top weren't spicy enough.

It came with a raw egg that you crack into the soup and let it cook to your level of doneness.

Short Review- Outstanding Restaurant Week Menu. Get the Hoe Muchim, Yukhoe, Gangjeong, Galbi-Jjim,…read moreand if you want to be very full, the Pyongyang Cold Noodle. I went back to this Korean spot with a group for their $60 Summer Restaurant Week menu, which I'll abbreviate as RW from now on. I was not expecting the biggest portions as the menu is a bit pricey, but I was surprised in a good way. Compared to the regular menu, this is a fantastic deal, being both high quality and with large portions. You can see the previous review regarding the nice space, which is from a converted library. The only distinction this time was that they were much more crowded. The server was friendly, though he did rather haphazardly drop off all of the appetizers instead of giving them to the specific people who ordered them, leading to a bit of confusion. To drink, I shared a bottle of 24% Soju Dokdo, which another person had ordered at the bar prior to me arriving during happy hour. As per the other time before we got the other courses, they gave us some kimchi as well as a cold soup as an amuse bouche. The soup consisted of cucumber, tomato agar jelly, basil oil, and Korean pear. The soup is refreshing, cold, slightly herbal, and a little bit sweet, and worked perfectly to whet our appetite. The RW menu that followed consisted first of one choice each from three different options: vegetable, sea, and meat. Afterwards, there was a choice of main and a side dish, and then dessert. From the appetizers, my vegetable choice was the Lotus Root Gangjeong/연근강정, a pair of fried lotus root slices with a mild sweetness, presumably from rice syrup/물엿. The lotus root had a light fry, with a mild crunch, but it was the most basic of the dishes. Other people enjoyed the Asparagus Japchae/아스파라거스잡재 and the Acorn Jelly/도토리묵. I tried the latter, and it was refreshing and tasty with an interesting mix of textures. Compared to the other appetizers, this was also the only course without a supplement, which makes sense since it was vegetables. From the sea section, I ordered a dish I got last time, the Hoe Muchim/회무침, listed on the menu as seasonal fish, gochujang, and soybean powder, which all came with kim/seaweed for DIY handrolls. The dish is normally $24, and of course, the portion was slightly smaller, but it was still sizable. As this was the case with the other dishes, I won't mention that again. The fish in this case was raw salmon, which was buttery, and paired with the crunchy vegetables, the sweet/spicy/mildly fermented gochujang, and the nutty soybean powder. Another person enjoyed the Shrimp Pancakes/새우전, saying that there was plenty of shrimp inside, and no one ordered the $5 extra Abalone Salad/전복냉채. Finally, for meat, I went with the Yukhoe/육회, the Korean version of beef tartare with Korean pear and egg yolk, which is normally $28. The meat was tender with a mild fragrance from sesame oil and a bit of sweetness from the paired, well, pear. No one got the Spicy Fried Chicken/닭튀김, while someone else splurged and loved the $5 extra Beef Cheek Suyuk/소뽈살수육. For my main dish, as with a few others as per my recommendation, I went with the $10 extra Galbi-Jjim/갈비찜. Normally $52, this had soy-braised prime beef, Pyogo mushrooms, some potatoes, and some tteok. The short ribs were very tender, with some fat that was flavorful without being too chewy. The broth wasn't as sweet as some other places, with a delightful little bit of spiciness. This was outstanding, just like last time. Others enjoyed the Bossam/보쌈 and the Squid Stir Fry /오징어볶음, with no one getting the Tofu Mushroom Hot Pot/두부버섯전골. As a side, my choice was the Mushroom Sotbap/버섯솥밥, which is $10 extra, but shared between two people. Normally for $38, this had golden queen rice, mushrooms, foie gras, and a beef broth, and just like during normal service, they present the full pot before dividing it up. The rice had a strong umami with a bit of crunch from the scorched part, and was delicious like last time. Another person liked the Seasonal Vegetable Bibimbap/산채비빔밥, and one other had the portion of Pyongyang Cold Noodle/평양냉면, with the broth poured at the table. The portion was noticeably gigantic compared to every other dish, and the bit of broth I tried was delicious. For dessert, there were two choices. I got the Korean Melon/참외 with coconut and manchego cheese. The dish was well composed, with a granita/ice made from melon, some coconut sorbet on the bottom, and a very mild cheesy flavor. It was refreshing. A few had the Burdock/우엉 with burdock ice cream, chocolate mousse, and burdock chips. They found it mildly bitter with a bit of nuttiness, and one person liked it, and the other did not. I tried a bit, and I thought it was decent, but I preferred my dessert. This was again a very good meal. I wish I had better photos, but we all loved our time here.

Food, service, and ambiance were all amazing. We came here on a Thursday night with a reservation…read more The restaurant's interior is beautiful and has a modern church-like feel, making it a unique dining experience. The service was attentive throughout the meal. They offer a tasting menu, but we opted for a la carte so we could try a wider variety of dishes. The complimentary cold broth served to cleanse our palates was a thoughtful touch. The fried chicken wing was cooked perfectly with an incredibly crispy exterior. The uni sotbap was delicious, packed with rich umami flavors in every bite. The bossam was solid, tender pork belly served with fresh lettuce wraps. The cold noodles were refreshing, and I especially enjoyed the light, flavorful chicken broth. The galbi was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. Overall, every dish was delicious, and I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in town.
