    We've known about this place for a few months now but finally decided to give it a try today... and as much as I try not to give anyone or any restaurant a low score, I can't give this place anything higher than a 3. Service was great, they use a button system that lets staff know if we need assistance and the staff was very attentive. So there's no fault there. The food was okay; it wasn't bad but also not extraordinarily good either. This place could've been a decent KBBQ on the westbank, but the price to quantity drops the score. $32 for about 6-8 pieces of Galbi & Tofu Soup, really steep IMO.

    ROACHES ON/UNDER TABLE (see pic attached) - - after having lunch and paying our bill, we see roaches! One going up the table another underneath. Meat was decent, the sides tasted off & old just not fresh at all. The corn cheese had a weird metallic taste, maybe from container they give it to you in for cooking. The best thing we tasted was the steamed egg, but after seeing the roaches - I wish we had not eaten there! our servers were good however. It is definitely not worth the 230$ bill for a family of 5. They also add automatic gratuities and an insane service fee that we were unaware of (see pic of receipt) - AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

    A Korean gem next to Hong Kong Market! We went for lunch on the weekend and got seated right away. The dining area is so nice! The service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes. Tteokbokki, japchae, bulgogi, and a side of mandu. All hit the spot. I even grabbed some kimbap to take home for dinner. Sooooo good! Even the banchan stood out to me. The cucumbers were my favorite. Our server was so kind to bring me extra. The kimchi tasted homemade. You can even buy some to take home! Korean food is not common in New Orleans so it's always exciting to see a new place open up. Definitely give this place a chance! :)

    The service was great. The kid was super swamped and still did the thang. But the food was so mid. I had high hopes since there are so few Korean places in town. The galbitang meat wasn't tender and the soup didn't have a complex flavor profile. The wings were really good though. The bulgogi was fine but it wasn't solid.

    I am so excited that the Westbank has a Korean restaurant! Korean food is the one food that is lacking in the New Orleans area. I stopped in today for lunch and I'll be the first to admit I really know nothing about Korean food. However, everything on the menu sounded great and, thanks to good old Google, I was able to easily figure out what I wanted. To start, the waitress brought out a sampler of a few items just to get us started. For an appetizer, we got the Kimchijun, which is a Kimchi-flavored pancake dish. We also got Kimchi Jigjae, which is kimchi soup, and Bibimbap which is meat, egg, rice, and a few other things served in a hotpot. It was all fantastic! Like I said, I am very green when it comes to Korean food, but the food here was excellent and packed with flavor. The restaurant is still in "soft opening" mode, and plan to visit again to try a few more items.

    Ate at this restaurant a couple of times now in the last month. First time just a few of us trying it out since it had just opened, the second time with a large group because food really is good! So happy there is finally a decent Korean food place in town!! Dishes we tried so far: Kimchi hotpot - I love spicy food and the flavor is on point! They bring the pot out with all the food items already cooked (for the most part) and heat it on a gas stove on the table. Tofu, glass noodles, meat bites, rice cakes, veggies, soup... very delicious! Beef bone hotpot - flavor is also very good, if you don't like spicy, this is a great alternative! Comes with similar items in the pot, tofu, glass noodles, rice cakes, veggies and very generous portion of beed bones with meat on the bones and tendon pieces! Seafood pancake - also very legit with big and lots of green onions, crispy texture on the outside and soft once you bite into it! Banchan - the selection of small side dishes is just okay, the flavor of them is also just okay, I've had much better (not in NOLa area though). Japchae - simple and good flavor! Galbi and bulgogi - you don't cook them yourself on the table (so no worries about smelling like smoke after the meal!), they are brought out on sizzling pan, flavor is good! Wait staff is very friendly and the overall experience had been great the both times. I do think that their prices are high, especially compared to what I'm used to in SoCal, but I guess when there aren't many (if any) competitions, you can have a higher price point. I will definitely return to try other dishes like soon du bu, jigae and bibimbap. It is located inside the Hong Kong Supermarket entrance, there are no signs on the outside!

    My family and I dined here on the 2nd day of their grand opening. We ordered the Tteok-bokki (Korean spicy rice cake), Beef Rib & Bone Hot Pot, and Grilled Atka Mackerel. The service was nice, but the entire restaurant was very unprepared. For starters, they didn't even have bowls for us to eat our hot pot with. So they just told us we had to use the tiny plates from our side dishes, which is very unprofessional as the plates are not meant for a hot pot dish (broth and meat couldn't even fit on the small plate). Also, the mackerel was too salty to eat. Another thing is that they did not even serve us rice, a common side dish every Asian restaurant should at least have. The actual hot pot was decent, but overpriced for the quality. For the side dishes, they were not enough to feed 3 people (the amount of people for our table). The Tteok-bokki was okay, but we were already upset about the unavailability of bowls. They weren't even packed when we arrived. As a restaurant establishment, they should've been prepared with equipment (especially on the most important week for the business). They're literally next to a supermarket (Hong Kong Food Market), so they could've just instantly bought bowls over there if they didn't have them. The total came to be almost $100, but we felt like our meal should've been cheaper considering everything we had to deal with. I truly hope this restaurant changes for the better soon, but overall my family and I didn't have a great experience with K Town.

    Tofu soup, and La Galbi

    The restaurant is highly recommended, they have so many traditional Korean dishes and service is best here in all New Orleans! We love to go here, the environment is clean as well.

    Been a lot of buzz about The Joint lately and was in the mood for bbq so had to check it out…read more Wasn't sure about parking, but needn't have worried. There was tons of parking all around the park across the street. Inside had something like 6 or 8 tables and a bar to sit at. They also have outdoor seating. You order at the register and they bring it out to you. I ordered the 2 meat 1 side combo. They didn't have burnt ends at the time, which I'm still dying to try. Instead I went with ribs and chicken with Mac and cheese. I've been getting used to bbq places bringing you small wimpy ribs, but this says two ribs on the menu it's more like three and some change they're so big. These ribs were so juicy, perfect amount of char, tons of flavor. Throw some of the table bbq to dip in and wow. Same with the chicken juicy, with a light crispy skin, and also even better with the bbq. Mac and cheese was also great. It was super cheesy and had a nice kick to it.

I ordered the brisket burnt ends and the ribs with a side of baked beans. The food came out pretty fast. The burnt ends were delicious. Tender and seasoned well I also loved the bbq sauce. The ribs were okay. They were Luke warm so they got cold pretty fast and were over cooked. I enjoyed the baked beans and they give you a hearty portion. Overall pretty good I would definitely go back to get another order of burnt ends.

    Overall delicious BBQ!…read more Smoked sausage was good and tasty. Smoky with a little spicy heat. Crispy Brussel sprouts were a highlight! Soaked in a delicious sweet and flavorful sauce. Mac N Cheese was cheesy, but not soaked or water, with a good crunch with the bacon. Pulled pork would have been a little better with BBQ sauce, which I forgot to get on take out.

    I really need to update my review here from 9 years ago. Central City has really upped their game…read moreover the years. They are truly one of New Orleans' only places to get BBQ from. I still love their boudin, of course, but I recently tried their smoked turkey salad! I love that they have a salad on their menu because generally, any BBQ you go to will never have a salad. And this one is really good! They aren't stingy on the ingredients either. The turkey was so juicy and I don't know how they did that, turkey is usually dry. Maybe they spatchcocked it. In any event, this juicy, moist, turkey salad was so good, I could not eat it all! It was so much food. DONT SLEEP ON THE SALAD AT A BBQ PLACE! :-D Also, mac n cheese is really good. We also ordered their meats, their brisket and pulled pork are great as well. Love their BBQ sauces. This is a side note, but I wish they would have made a second Central City BBQ when they instead did their tex mex Las Cruces. Metry has no good BBQ and I think CCBBQII would have made a killing! Keep up the fantastic work in Central City, I will be back for sure!

When I want a bite and don't want to cook (rarely) and I'm in town I will stop and get a bite to eat bc I will be satisfied. It is definitely a vibe and of course the service is great. I love coming home (in town) and interacting with my people . There's nothing like my New Orleans people. As long as this place is around we will visit when we are in town.

    Sigh. Disclaimer: the food just isn't the same anymore…read more My parents live on the Westbank, so whenever I come home to visit and stay more than a few days, I always make a stop here, specifically for their stewed okra on Tuesdays. I hadn't eaten here in over a year, but two years ago that okra SMACKED. It was so good I had to stop myself from eating the entire container in one sitting. This time, though, it tasted completely different. Honestly, I mostly picked over it. It did have a decent amount of seasoning meat in it, which I appreciated, but the flavor was just off. My mother agreed. I also ordered the stuffed catfish, and unfortunately the catfish tasted almost entirely like blackened seasoning and nothing else. It used to have much more flavor and balance than that. The yams were fine, and the seafood dressing tasted the same as usual, but I was really disappointed because the okra was always the star of the show for me. Since that's no longer hitting the same, I honestly won't be back. And mind you, this was after standing in line for ~90 minutes. I will say the workers still have that Southern hospitality, and the customer service itself was pleasant. But while standing in line and watching the workflow, it was easy to think of multiple ways the business could improve efficiency. I'm honestly surprised those issues haven't been addressed yet. If you want to go for the experience, then sure, go for it. But don't expect to be blown away. For me, the wait time, prices, and food quality just didn't live up to the hype anymore.
