    Devil's Cake
    Prathika A.

    We stopped by BRBQ for a late dinner on a Friday night. It wasn't too crowded and the service was prompt. We tried the Korean fried chicken wings and Seafood scallion pancake for appetizers. The wings were crispy and fresh. The seafood scallion pancake had a good amount of seafood and was well flavored. For the entree we had the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. It was served alongside several traditional Korean BBQ sides. We also ordered the Kimchi fried rice. It was lot of food for two people but the food was really good. For dessert, we tried the devil's cake - if you are a chocolate lover do not miss this one! It's a decadent chocolate cake for sure. All in all it was good dining experience

    Finally got the opportunity to visit them. Been wanting too since we heard they are opening in the neighborhood. Made a lunch reservations on a cold windy day before Valentine's Day. Looking forward to the food and experience. Picked lunched items. Chicken wings, kimhi rice and others. Overall, food was ok but great service and atmosphere. Not sure if it was normal but the dessert was warm outside but cold inside. Still a good experience. I think dinner time would be a better time to go. BRBQ gets a recommendation.

    Bulgogi bibimbap
    Sein S.

    I went out for dinner with friends on a Monday night, and we all had a great experience. I ordered the Bulgogi Bibimbap, while my friends tried the tofu and chicken varieties. Everyone really enjoyed their meals--the vegetables were seasoned perfectly, and you truly can't go wrong with a classic runny egg on top. The highlight was definitely the rice, which was perfectly crispy at the bottom of the bowl. It's a solid, reliable spot for a flavorful dinner, and the quality was consistent across all the different protein options we tried. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a well-executed, satisfying meal.

    5 stars all around for food, service and ambiance. This is NOT a traditional kbbq place where you're seated around a grill. This is more of a fusion place where they grill dishes in the open kitchen and they're served to you. My group of 4 ordered the below and loved everything. Appetizers: grilled leek (anchovy, parsley, pistachio, Calabrian chili vinaigrette), scallion pancake (charred scallion pesto, calamari, shrimp, Parmesan) and house sausage (galbi pork and glass noodles). The flavors of everything were perfectly balanced and unique. Entrees: galbi for two, spicy pork bulgogi and kimchi fried rice. The meat was tender and flavorful. The bulgogi is served with corn tortillas, guacamole, tomato salsa and sour cream which was an interesting twist. Also, the kimchi fried rice was wasn't just your average kimchi fried rice you make at home. I was hesitant to order it but I'm glad we did. I would definitely come back here again to try more rice, noodle and seafood dishes. It's a decency sized space but I can see it getting popular fast so make a reservation while you still can!

    Food (4/5): Alright so some of the dishes are overpriced with dishes like the bulgogi being over $35 and most other dishes being in that $20-40 range, but the quality is solid. We got the kimchi fried rice, katsu chicken and tteokboki and all were great. My favorite was the katsu chicken which was crispy and had great sauce. Service (5/5): The restaurant seemed a bit understaffed but the people there were great and helpful. They were friendly and the food came out fast. Ambiance (5/5): Beautiful modern interior with nice booths, tables and a bar decor in the middle. There were also Halloween decorations with candies when we came.

    Super yummy new Korean spot in JC! Loved the Galbi and the ricotta toast!!! The vibe is great and the service is so good too.

    Tried takeout from this new Korean place under Urby (same owners as Domodomo) and located a few minutes walk from Journal Square Path. Staff was nice, though lunch takeout options were limited. Ordered cold noodles, donkatsu, and calamansi salad. Portions were generous--donkatsu came with two large pieces (a bit dry but tasty with the sauce). Cold noodles were crunchy and well-spiced, and the salad stood out with smoky shrimp and bright calamansi flavor. I think the vibe is more for drinks with friends and chill, but would love to come back and try the dinner menu! The galbi and samgyeopsal was on the takeout menu, but only available for dinner.

    I stopped in with my family without a reservation and we were able to be seated right away, though the restaurant was definitely a bit busy. Started with what the menu called "Spicy Corn Noodles". When it arrived, the waiter called them "Spicy Cold Noodles", which was disappointing. No corn in sight and when I translated the Korean characters, no corn goes into making these noodles, so it's just a misleading typo. These were fine and the portion size was pretty good, but I wouldn't have ordered them if the menu was correct. Looking up from there, the fries we ordered came out and they were absolutely perfectly crispy and seasoned, 10/10. Our Korean fried chicken wings then came out, also a very nice portion size, crispy and tasty but no flavor reminiscent of Korean wings, they're just good wings. For the main course, our Galbi for 2 came out. My husband mentioned a shellfish allergy and we were told that one sauce on the side included shrimp, no problem. When the platter came out however, there was a nice sized bubbling bowl of soup/stew which the waiter said was clam stew. Highly disappointing that this would be included without being mentioned on the menu or by the waiter, especially after discussing the allergy. As such a large component of the platter rather than just a small banchan, it should have been mentioned. The entire bowl remained untouched and sadly went to waste. The meat itself was very tasty, we all enjoyed it. The dessert sorbet was very good. I was interested in the Devil's Food cake, but as the description said "charcolate", I passed. Is it a charcoal/chocolate mix? Another typo? Didn't want to take the risk. BRBQ: please fix your menu Service was friendly and overall I'd recommend a visit.

    I've been wanting to try this place ever since it opened but never got around to it even though it's so close. Now that I've finally been, it's going to be dangerous because I'll want to come here every day. The food was incredibly tasty and flavorful and we didn't leave a single bite behind. The service was phenomenal and everyone was so kind. The ambiance and decor were also beautiful. Very hip and cool. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

The ambiance is…read moreperfect--moody, upscale, and consistently chic--making it a great choice for a high-end night out. The Food: The star of the night was the Spicy Rigatoni. The creamy Calabrian pepper tomato sauce delivers a legitimate, vibrant heat that doesn't hold back. Breaking into the Italian burrata is essential; the creamy center beautifully tempers the spice, while the micro basil adds a nice hit of freshness. We also started with the truffle fries, which were executed perfectly--crispy, aromatic, and a total highlight. The Service: While the food was top-tier, the service wasn't great which is why I deducted 2 whole stars. I ordered a ginger ale that never made it to the table, yet it still appeared on our final bill - not cool. It's a small detail, but at this level of dining and price point, you expect those things to be caught. Also, the service overall was pretty slow which was disappointing. Verdict: Even with the minor billing oversight, the culinary execution is elite. If you're a fan of bold, spicy pasta and a great atmosphere, this is still a JC must-visit. Just double-check your tab!

Came here for the first time in the early weeks after it opened in Summer 2025. Pretty much half the menu, through the appetizers, small bites, entrees, and dessert, was unavailable/out of stock. This was during a prime seating slot, around 8pm (was on a date) on a Saturday evening. Okay, opening kinks, fair enough. But still---a restaurant opening to much fanfare, and dining during a prime slot, 40-50%-ish of what is already a somewhat limited menu should not be unavailable. This was gravely disappointing. Nevertheless, what limited items we were able to order were, again, REALLY good. So I made a note to return. Fast forward about 8 months: got seated at the bar, as a walk-in, just before 8pm on a Saturday. Once seated, took a rude amount of time to even be acknowledged. Was close to putting on a face of noticeable frustration and impatience, of which, I guess, the bartender must've noticed the emerging cracks and took my order. Recognizing this was the same bar tender from my first visit, and seeing that one of the extraordinary specialty cocktails that I enjoyed during that visit was no longer listed on the menu, I asked if it would be possible to order it. No; it's "no longer on the menu." Turning on my "benefit of the doubt" hat, perhaps it required specific ingredients that are not kept on hand; fair enough, and, if true, understandable (I do hope this was the case so that there is a sensible explanation). But when I replied something like "aw, you can't just make one anyway?" e.g. as one might prepare any other known cocktail that exists but does not appear on a specialty menu (asked in a way, to be clear, meant to seem friendly/fun, not at all pushy/demanding) bartender replied with a simple "No" (or maybe, to their credit, "no, sorry.") Next, out of only three entrees on the menu, the one I ordered was, you guessed it, out of stock--at 8pm on a Saturday. I had gone to Maxwell Alley to try that specific entree of the three, and had no interest in the other two. If a menu contains only three entrees, they really ought to be in stock at 8pm on a Saturday. I declined the server's invitation to order one of the remaining two, got up and left. As I departed 15 minutes after being seated, no staff--hostess, maitre D etc--said a word. I've worked at upscale places and was always trained never to allow a single guest--even the very content ones--to leave without being acknowledged, told thank you/goodnight etc. A guest departing within 15 minutes of being seated might, one would think, have caught someone's attention and asked whether there was a problem, etc., but I guess not. Still--believe it or not--despite the limited menu, and this place striking out twice, the food during my first time was, in fact, so good that I do intend to return yet again--third time's the charm??? I'll try for 5pm on a Thursday or something, in hopes of ordering from the full menu.
