    Kim Kimchi Pancake ()
    Jenny X.

    Came here for a quick team lunch and enjoyed how cozy it was! Good: - Good portion sizes - I liked the jjajyeon noodles a lot - great texture and also huge portion size - The kimbap was good but a bit flavorless - The kimchi pancake was super tasty! - Good value and the staff were nice Bad: - Took a bit for the food to all come out - The banchan was a bit small Overall this was a cute place tucked away and would try more stuff here.

    I had lunch on a Friday. We were the only table (we were a group of 7) at 12pm but by the time we left at around 1:30pm there were quite a number of tables filled. I had the pork cutlet. Though the portion was quite sizable, I found it quite salty especially with the small amount of rice included. I would recommend just serving the normal portion of rice that comes with all the other meals. My colleagues all enjoyed their meals and a few had enought leftover to take home as well (they had ordered the hot bowls of soup). The prices are very reasonable for the area. Would recommend.

    10/10 neighborhood spot! We went to Lim's Kitchen for a lowkey dinner to end the weekend and had a great experience! The restaurant was spacious and clean-- there were lots of tables available. The food was great too. We had the Army Stew and Korean Fried Chicken and both were delicious. The Army Stew was flavorful, the ramen was nice and chewy, and they are generous with the sausage and spam chunks in the soup. We opted for the Soy Garlic flavor for the wings, and those were wonderful too! Super crunchy, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Service was super friendly at Lim's Kitchen too. I will say, they seem understaffed, especially in the front. There was one employee who was acting as the host, bussing tables, taking orders, handling the delivery orders, answering the phone, literally everything. We didn't mind because we weren't in a huge rush. Just a reminder to stay patient with small restaurants and businesses:-) Would totally return!!

    I'm surprised on how not many people know about this hidden gem around the area. I would get lunch from here since it is close to wear I work and all of the times I've been here, their customer service is always nice & friendly. I personally like their squid kimbap the most. They don't skimp on the squid and it's very well seasoned. For the kimbap- they give miso soup on the side which makes it even more filling for lunch. Seating wise- there's ample amount of tables so dont worry. You'll be able to snag one even during lunch time. Would definitely come back again to try their other items on the menu. Tip: they accept card with no minimum.

    Wasn't the biggest fan of the Jajangmyeon, perhaps I should've went in person (tried adding some gochugaru on top). I've seen good things of the gimbap but I didn't have a chance to order that one unfortunately-- still in search for good jajangmyeon in the city Cheers!

    Tuna kimbop, rice cake with sausage, kimchi cold noodle, bibimbob, cheese stick and pickles were all very good. We had them delivered so fried dumpling was a bit soggy but still good. I would order again.

    Kimchi Stew ()

    The kimchi, soft tofu stew was fantastic. Now I'm gonna try the kimchi stew which also includes pork.

    From the outside it looked closed, but it's actually opened. There's seating inside but mainly people order take out from here. I went there to place my order. It didn't take that long as I decided on the bulgogi kimbap. Yes, it was delicious and it filled me up even though I didn't have any breakfast. It took me a while to decide as the menu had a lot of korean dishes that I wanted to try. I went by convenience and price point. I say to check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

    I must've come on a really off day because my experience was mediocre at best, and the way that some of the banchan looked, it did not feel authentic at all. Personally, I feel like there's much better Korean food in the city (though I liked that this place is closer to me than ktown). Our kimchi fried rice also came with absolutely no spam (lol), but the server was pretty nice about it and switched it out. My biggest ick was that it smelled strongly of some weird chemicals inside the restaurant, and the smell clung onto my clothing even hours after coming home (my friends all agreed). The only thing we really appreciated was how nice the server was, who always made sure our water and side dishes were full.

    My friends and I came by for lunch on a Saturday as the restaurant just opened for the day so we were seated right away. We ordered a few different dishes to share: a pancake, fried chicken and jajangmyun. The fried chicken was very good, but I think the jajangmyun had a lot of onions on top. Overall we enjoyed the food at the restaurant and it is a cozy place.

    Two way fried chicken and wings with sauce on the side. Bibimbap, kimchi... pickle daikons.

    We stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted to order some takeout. Gave this place a try as it has good Yelp review. Took some time to wait for the food, but we didn't mind. That told us that they are not premade the food and reheating them. Wow, we like everything we ordered. The dinner area is very clean, too! And the gentleman who helped us was very polite! Like the other reviewer said, this is a hidden gem, if you are in the neighborhood, go taste it yourself!

    The army stew (budae jigae) was excellent. Perfect on a snowy and cold day. A nice new find in East Midtown.

    HOLY this place literally gives the BIGGEST POUR of wine... I'm def not a light weight but I swear…read moreI had 3 glasses and I was doneeee for the night. Service was 10/10 and ambiance was superrr cozy and cute. I'd def recommend this place if you want a good pour of wine for a good price. Maybe not so much if you're super picky with your wine though... the wine list didn't seem too big.

    Long story short: my husband used to come here about 12 years ago and had really fond memories of…read moreit. So when we were back in town, we decided to stop in--fully expecting to have just one drink and move on. That plan did not happen. We ended up staying a couple of hours, ordering food, and having many drinks. Bin 71 is mostly a wine bar, with a few beers mixed in, and it definitely feels like a locals spot. The bartenders knew a lot of the people coming in, which added to the friendly, laid-back vibe. It's very small, so it can get cramped, but in a cozy, everyone's-in-it-together kind of way. Food-wise, we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the grilled cheese and my husband got the fish soup (cod, I think?). Both were delicious, but that grilled cheese was spectacular--honestly way better than expected from a wine bar. I'm not much of a wine drinker, so I won't pretend to give a detailed wine review, but everything we had was enjoyable. What really stood out was the atmosphere. We ended up chatting with other people at the bar, and the whole experience was just genuinely fun. If you're looking for good wine, surprisingly great food, and a friendly local vibe, this place is worth checking out. Maybe don't go wildly out of your way for it--but if you're in the area, absolutely stop in.

It's pretty cool that this Turntable location is fully decorated with records, record players, posters, etc. and of course, with jazz playing in the background. We ordered the Medium Drums & Wings Combo which took about 30 minutes to prepare. In the meantime, we enjoyed the Kimchi Fried Rice w Chicken which was pretty solid. It was cooked well, good balance of savory & spicy flavors from the kimchi and the sunnyside egg added more umami and creaminess. I still felt it was a bit dry and could've used like spicy mayo but that's just me. The Medium Drums & Wings Combo was perfect for sharing among 2 people. Both flavors were delicious but the hot spicy just had more depth than the soy garlic. The pieces are large and the crunch is insanely addictive. And no better way to wash it all down than with a Sapparo on draft! Great try!

We went with an order of cheesy corn, a spiral potato each, and a medium order of boneless, Half and half. I thought it was strange that they specifically warned us that it would take some time to make it. I mean that's what I came for, some proper Korean Fried Chicken that's made to order! The cooking method literally takes time to fry it at least twice! As strange as it was to see them do this at every table, apparently it was because some uncultured dum-dums got their KFCs confused. I mean damn, imagine having to work in a place where you have to overexplain the obvious to each customer! "Welcome to Moonbucks! By the way ma'am, our hot beverages comes out very hot. Yes ma'am, that includes the pumpkin spiced latte. Yes ma'am, it is flavored with cinnamon." Derp. The decor around here was pretty cool, all hip and shit. And by our meal's end, this place was poppin'! If you and your crew decide to dine put here, better hustle on over right after work, cuz it's gonna be packed!

There was a special order a 10 piece, and get 5 additional wings for free. We chose the sauces on the side because we did not want our wings to arrive soggy. The wings arrived cold, with sauce on the wings. The taste was bland definitely had better wings. The Dan & John's on the Eastside has wings that come out perfect. 14th Street location food is not worth the hassle. We tipped $5 for our order to arrive cold, and not as the instructions, which were clearly written on the receipt correctly. The kitchen did not pay attention. There are excellent wing spots in Manhattan, this was not it.
