    Brisket
    Chelsea D.

    Our go-to spot for late night kbbq. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Never had a bad experience. Highlights are the brisket especially when it gets crispy, the pork jowl (melts in your mouth), and their banchan. Service is always on point. You get staff refilling banchan every few minutes and servers bringing you napkins without having to ask. They always play the best music here too.

    Food was fast and efficient, they were really accommodating with requests. A lively atmosphere, somewhat loud but comfortable enough to enjoy conversations with friends without being overwhelmed.

    This place is legit! You can taste the quality of the meat with each bite which is surprising since it's AYCE. We had Susie as our server and one word to describe her is efficient. She was kind but also extremely fast with cooking our food, serving the food, and maintaining our table all while handling other tables. We never felt unattended which was awesome, especially since it's AYCE and we wanted to get our worth before getting full. Pro tip, you can order half portions which is ideal if you want to try more foods between a smaller party. The restaurant is also very clean and tidy. Good vibes all around

    Let's Meat is all you can eat Korean BBQ in Koreatown that occupies a large sapce and is perfect a big group. I came here with a group of six. The menu is simple with only two all you can eat options. They have a smaller list of meats to choose for $46.99 per person. Or, you can go for the larger list for $52.99. The more expensive option includes premium selections like strip steak and octopus. Compared to the other Korean BBQ places nearby, this is a steal of a deal for unlimited food. They also bring a large variety of appetizers for everyone to share in. These included: kimchi, radish, and more. My personal favorite was the cheese with corn. And of course, you can have as much rice and noodles as you want too. Some of the meats that we had included: pork belly, teriyaki chicken, strip steak, and beef ribeye. I thought all of the meats were well marinated though the beef was juicier than the rest. The server was also really attentive and constantly came by to check on us and to make sure the meat was grilled correctly. Keep in mind that the tip is added into the bill, so no additional tip is needed. For the price, quality and convenient location, this was one of the best Korean BBQ I have had in New York City.

    The beef was soooo good. The pork was kinda a disappointment but not terrible. The chicken (idk who even got this) was definitely not it. Would come back just for the beef and try more meats!! Definitely such a a vibe. The drinks were also great. Had the most delicious cheesy corn mixture as well. Beware the bathroom is beyond small and crowded though. The tables also small crowded and little dirty so that was an oof. The restaurant is also very crowded so definitely have reservations and don't come earlier than that time. Overall, decent place.

    I came here for lunch on a Sunday as a walk in. I decided to take my god son here for his birthday and this was definitely at hit! There was no wait and we were sat immediately. The options were great! I believe the lunch menu was around $29 per person, give or take. We were taken care of immediately and waste no time bringing the small bites and meat. Our servers name is Chin and was absolutely amazing. He was so attentive, cooked our meal so well and was kind. I will absolutely come back here on a sunday just to have him as my server again! This was such a great experience! Highly recommended and thank you so much!

    The servers were really friendly and attentive. Also informative of the meats and beer recommendations. The ambiance was busy, and loud. Clean bathroom.

    Let's Meat is a great AYCE KBBQ spot in Koreatown, perfect for groups. We came as a walk-in on a weeknight and was seated right away. We opted for the Classic option for $42.99 per person. They were quick to get our meat orders and bringing everything out. We had the beef brisket, beef marinated ribeye, pork jowl, pork belly, pork shoulder steak, and spicy pork short rib. As the meats came out, the server was always cooking for us and distributing the meat onto our plates. We also enjoyed the banchans and sides that included spicy tofu stew, cheese corn, and spicy rice cake. The tofu soup was one of my favorite items, so good. I did find that banchans were a bit more limited with only 4 kinds plus some lettuce to make ssam. Also not often that you find cole slaw as a banchan option. We also got the Somaek Tower ($38.99), which filled up about 6 cups. Beer towers are always fun during KBBQ, but this seemed like not much. Overall, it was a fulfilling and delicious meal, but I felt quite rushed with ordering the meats and their 100 minute time limit.

    One of the best KBBQ spots I've had in awhile! A lot of room in the restaurant, huge variety of meat and vegetables to pick from. One of the things I had to get used to was the waiter cooking the meat for us but they're professionals at it.

    We had a time!

    When in Koreatown, do as the Koreans do. I assume the adage carries. But this most recent trip to NY had me meeting my best friend and his wife (I guess that kind of makes her my best friend too, due to relational proximity which I'm ok with lol) where we went to Macys for Christmas town then on to Koreatown. We knew we were eating KBBQ but I didn't know what or where to expect. Cue "Let's Meat"! It really didn't look like much from the front. But as we followed the narrow corridor in, the place opened up to what I was used to seeing at a barbecue place. The sounds, the smells. It all hit! From the jump, the service was better than most. Especially for a place where the dress code is casual, you almost never know what to expect. But our hostess was inviting and the dude cooking for us... well, he was no Saja Boy in the face per se, but he definitely was trynna be my idol. He managed our food like a master of his craft. He perfectly cooked all the different items we threw at him (not literally. Via order obviously). From the brisket to the veggies and even the cheese corn (ohhhhh how I love the cheese corn!), everything was made with the utmost of freshness and brevity so we were eating non stop until we finally tapped out. The bill was a little hefty for my liking but luckily my hosts picked up the tab because they know I love them so much (and that I was broke that night)! But I will say, you definitely get your moneys worth. And considering where we were and the vibe... it was well worth it. So thanks Scott and Tiff! Can't wait to see where we eat next

    I was able to get a reservation for a party of 9 on. Saturday over the phone and was able to keep the reservation despite one person couldn't make it. Decor is modern and clean, there is a bar at the front and dining tables are at the middle and back. We were informed by the waiter that we have to choose between the lunch, regular, and premium meat options beforehand. The entire group has to follow the same meat options and there is a 90 mins dining limit and 60 mins ordering window. They also cook the meat for you which is convenient. Side dishes were refilled frequently and the meats come out as the previous batch gets cooked. Very attentive service and the meats were delicious. I loved wrapping a few of pieces of meat and various side dishes with lettuce. Overall, we had a great experience and it was more affordable than ordering a la carte at other kbbq restaurants.

    Last night, SO and I both had the signature menu, which includes the classic menu. The classic's thinly sliced ribeye was heavenly and the brisket along with the pork belly were also pretty good. The additional $6 for the signature was worth it for the NY strip (limit 1 per person)...SO was already stuffed before the 2nd round, so she gave me hers. The service was excellent...sides and napkins were being replaced exactly when needed. This is pretty good value for all the types of protein offered and great service!

    Let's Meat is one of those New York City oddities in that they consistently deliver on service & quality at a, seemingly, unsustainable price point. We arrived at 5:15pm fully armed with the knowledge of no reservations and, as NYers, uncomfortable with waiting. Scan the menu & we're off to our table. Smiles & searing scents everywhere! We're delivered water followed by an avalanche of the traditional Korean salads, pickled root veggies and kimchi. A waiter takes our order of marinated chicken breast, spicy pork ribs, hangar steak and ribeye steak too! We also each order the spicy tofu soup and sides of rice. Remember...it's an ALL YOU CAN EAT bbq! The meats are seared at our table by the conductor of meatstuffs & we serve ourselves to this excellent assortment. The cheesy corn is ready too & exquisite. We, somehow, order more...beers, brisket, marinated ribeye and another o' them hangar steaks please? It arrives, is cooked and delicious again. Poof! I'd suggest steering clear of the brisket as it's both too fatty and not a satisfying bite compared to the other options. You decide when you visit...

    How do they handle large groups so that everyone gets their money's worth within the time limit? For example, will they use more than one burner? Bring out serving sizes proportional to the group? etc.

    Which credit cards are accepted?

    Visa and Mastercard for sure

    Do they accept solo diners?

    They do except your paying as if you are dining for 2 people. Each person pays $40 for unlimited with minimum of 2 during each sitting. So if you want to dine alone, you can but you'll be paying $80 for all you can eat. It's cheaper for lunch but… Read more

    Is the price total or per person? Do I need a reservation?

    Per Person & Worth every penny

    Single girl here Can I get a table for 1? Can you dine solo?

    No, you would have to pay 80$.

    What are the current prices?

    40 dollars for regular, 45 dollars for premium for dinner on weekends.

    Do they have covered and heated outdoor seating?

    Yes they do. But you don't cook outside. You order the items what you want from your server and they cook it in the kitchen and bring it to Your table cooked already.

    I wan to go here for my birthday, is there still indoor/outdoor dining?

    Yes both indoor and outdoor dining is available

    Are they doing indoor dining yet?

    Yes!

    Are they still only doing outside dining?

    No.. there's indoor dining and the annoying waitresses will burn the meat for you!

    Are there grills for outdoor seating or do they just bring the cooked meat out to you? Thanks!

    No grills outdoors. They bring the cooked meat to you.

    Is let's meat doing all you can eat at the moment!?

    Yeah but they cook it for u

    I made a reservation for 4 but only 3 of us can make, I don't wanna cancel my reservation because I know there going to be a long wait time does anyone know if I'll get charged the $10 fee for my friend not showing up?

    No charge... 3 people, they will still give you a 4 people table.

    Is it safe for someone with a seafood allergy to dine here?

    Absolutely... you can check their menu if they have seafood items... if the remember correctly, most of them is meat and limited vegetables

    Can I fine solo?

    Of course! But it's going to be better with friends. You can eat more cuts of meat when you have multiple people there to help you eat it all!

    Do the servers cook the meat for you or do you cook it yourself?

    The servers usually cook everything, but when it's busy, sometimes you have to do it yourself so it doesn't get burnt

    For lunch, do they give still give all the banchans, such as the corn, steamed eggs ... etc?

    Yes

    I can't make a reservation any day for 4pm, are they closed 4pm-5pm?

    Yes. Lunch ends at 3pm, dinner starts about 5pm. I believe they leave 1 hour gap to allow people from lunch to finish and for them to get ready for dinner

    For a party of 5, do all of us have to pick either premium or original for the AYCE menu? Or can 2 of us pick premium and 3 original for our table?

    You have to pick the same menu for the table!

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

The first thing I noticed was the plates. I actually looked them up hoping to buy them but they're custom made for the restaurant and feature their own logo. Sad!! The banchan was excellent, especially the kimchi. It was very fresh and was one of the highlights of the meal. What I liked most about the food overall was how clean everything tasted. Nothing felt greasy, heavy or too salty. The flavors were balanced and very comforting. We ordered the pork bossam, kimchi pancake, and chicken kalguksu. The pork was tender and had a clean flavor that really let the quality of the meat come out. The kimchi pancake was topped with a poached egg which was interesting.... Personally, the poached egg addition wasn't really for me, but my friend loved it. The pancake itself was crispy flavorful. The chicken kalguksu was exactly what I want when I'm craving comforting and warm food at 11 PM after watching a musical. The broth was light but flavorful, and the noodles had a good chew. It felt homemade!! The ambience was very very cozy and nice. The interior is warm and cozy and intimate, it's great for a night with friends, or even a date night!! I love any spot with soft lighting. Even late at night, the restaurant felt relaxed and inviting. Service was also great. The food came out quickly, and every staff member that came to our table was very friendly.

I ordered the soju flight but I ended up not liking it so my cousins shared it. The meal comes with different veggies as well as your choice of soup. We got the spicy tofu and split it 6 ways. The spice lived up to its name, so I didn't eat very much. The best part was meat. Despite there being 6 of us, there was plenty to go around. I think you have the option to cook it yourself or have them cook it for you and we chose the latter. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was more space. Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

We walked into a stylish but relaxed space that feels suited for both casual dinners and a night out with friends, with an atmosphere that balances energy and comfort well. The room gets lively when it fills up, but the noise level adds to the experience rather than detracting from it, making it feel like a place built for sharing and conversation. The food is where Hojokban stands out. The complimentary banchan sets the tone for the meal with flavorful sides that add variety before the main dishes arrive, each one thoughtfully prepared and offering a different texture or flavor profile. The gomtang soup is one of the more comforting options, bringing together tender meat, a rich broth, and classic Korean flavors in a way that feels hearty without being overly heavy. The galbi dishes are also a highlight, with the meat cooked well and carrying the sweet and savory balance that makes Korean-style grilled beef so enjoyable. The portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. The menu has several unique dishes worth exploring. The truffle potato pancake is one of the more memorable items, combining a familiar Korean staple with a richer, modern twist that adds depth without losing the essence of the original. The perilla oil noodles are another standout, offering a lighter but still flavorful option with a distinct nutty aroma that lingers on the palate. The beef tartare adds a more refined element to the meal, fresh and well seasoned, while dishes like the ramyun fried rice bring a fun comfort food element with bold, savory flavors. Together, the menu covers enough ground that you can build a meal around both familiar favorites and more creative choices. Service is friendly and the overall experience feels welcoming rather than overly formal. The staff are attentive without hovering, and they handle the busy flow of the restaurant with a pace that keeps the meal moving without feeling rushed. The menu is designed for sharing, and the portions make it easy to order several dishes across the table, allowing you to try more of what the kitchen has to offer. The lively atmosphere adds to the meal, making it a good fit for group dinners where the energy of the room matches the pace of the food. Hojokban does a good job blending traditional Korean flavors with a more modern dining experience. It is a place where you can come for familiar comfort food while still finding dishes that feel creative and different. If you enjoy Korean cuisine and want a restaurant with a little more personality, this is a spot worth checking out. It delivers a meal that feels both familiar and fresh, striking a balance that makes it easy to return to and explore more of the menu.

Would love to see them partner with GFFG more and bring over more concepts. Great ambiance. Modern furnishing, perfectly dim. More elevated/creative than Take31/Her Name Is Han but menu still anchored by pub food style starters (the honey fried chicken and truffle potato pancakes are awesome). The Hojok Galbi is a must get. Perfectly tender beef - sweet, savory, slightly spicy from the peppers. Beer and soju are reasonably priced. Versatile, fun spot - highly recommend for casual dates or groups. Will definitely be back.

    One of my guilty pleasures / comfort places to visit is BCD Tofu House. I have been coming here…read moresince I was a student and it doesn't disappoint. The food tastes good, the lunch prices are reasonable and honestly they have better ban chan than a lot of other places. (And where else are you going to get a full fish as a complimentary ban chan?) When you go you just have to get one of the soon tofu. It is their iconic dishes We ordered: LA Galbi Seafood soon tofu Tripe soon tofu Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the soon tofu.

    The food was solid, the atmosphere was exactly perfect for an earlybird dinner reunion of college…read morefriends that happened to be taking place between World Cup matches (so the place was full but there was no line when we arrived; when we left there was an outdoor queue with a stanchion separation for groups of 1 or 2, vs 3+). The servers kept things moving but with very minimal interference and no extra visits; we would have liked a little more attention when we finished some of the banchan and kind of expected they would be replenished, but we certainly were fine without it. And the entrees were delicious and even with other tables almost on top of each other it never felt crowded due to partitions that I saw them remove for some larger groups needing tables "together", and I never felt part of someone else's dinner convo. Presentation was amazing and food was delicious - Soon Tofu Soup with seafood for me, which arrived bubbling like a cauldron. It came with a raw egg that you crack into the soup and let it cook to your level of doneness. Hubs got hot stone bibimbap and as we all know the crispy rice is the best part of it... it's just tough to separate it from the actual stone dish so you can eat it, especially if you wait until it cools and fuses. If I was there with more stomach space I wanted to try the galbi, and in fact there's a weekday lunch combo that could facilitate that.

    Jeong Yuk Jeom is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in K-Town! I stopped by for lunch and was…read morereally impressed by both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. The Ssambap Set was incredibly satisfying. The beef was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the fresh lettuce wraps, rice, banchan, and soup. Every bite was well-balanced and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Mixed Katsu Set, which was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and cooked to perfection. It came with generous portions and made for a comforting, filling meal. The restaurant has a modern and welcoming atmosphere, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything arrived fresh and beautifully presented. If you're looking for a delicious Korean lunch in NYC's Koreatown, Jeong Yuk Jeom is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back to try more of their menu!

    Good portion sizes for the 2-person shared BBQ lunch- be it Bulgolgi beef, stewed soup, or Banchan…read morewith 6 varieties of small dishes. Soup and Banchan both receive high marks for how good they taste. Also ordered a separate beef short rib lunch special, the rib was cooked to perfection and the sauce applied was very flavorful. Servers were friendly and mostly attentative, restaurant decors and cleanliness of interiors and bathrooms were quite good. Would come back again next time in the Herald Square area.

The galbi-jjim was perfectly tender like I could literally pull it apart with my chopstick. The addition of the rice cake, pumpkin, and pyogo mushroom were a nice touch. The soy sauce base was a little sweet and if you take a bit and pour it over the mushroom sotbap, it is soooooooo good!!!!!!! The mushroom sotbap is so umami. There is foie gras in it which maybe be in a little overpowering for some people but I really enjoyed it I could easily eat a whole bowl of their freshly made kimchi. It was perfect. Not too salty or spicy or fermented. Literally perfect!!! I actually asked for seconds. The cold cucumber broth was really refreshing Highly, highly recommend making a resy!!

There's a main dining room and a mezzanine. I sat at the mezz and got an amazing view of the main dining room. Service here is amazing. The only thing that I thought was a bit of a shame is that there's a $10 cake cutting service PER PERSON, if you wanted to celebrate a birthday. We got their fried chicken, beef tartare, 2 galbi jjim, and their bossam. Everything was phenomenal. While I think we could've skipped the chicken, the galbi jjim is a must-try. Cocktails are also great here. Amazing dining experience, food, ambiance, service, and I highly recommend.
