    Food/drinks: got 2 sets and shared with a party of 8! And we were full! Really good variety, can't complain Really good for last minute reservations for large parties! Atmosphere: typical dark lit kbbq atmosphere and has 2 floors! Service: they cook the meat for you here!! Price: pricey but normal for NY

    Meat

    Food wasn't amazing- the combo meat meal with the steak Was pur best option and honestly we didn't need appetizers! Just bbq meat all the way. I did like the sauce condiments as they include the salt pepper and the garlicky orange sauce. No lettuce but rice was include - the small Side included a salad.

    Love the atmosphere, fun music and lots going on. Lovely. Service was mid, not bad, but also we found ourselves waiting for long periods of time. Our waiter helped us bc we didn't know too much abt korean bbq. Food was delicious, loved the everything in the meat combos

    Bibimbap with sliced beef
    Gab G.

    Walked in at 5:50 PM on a Saturday and there was no wait for the two of us. My boyfriend and I ordered the marinated short ribs (galbi) and bibimbap with sliced beef from the à la carte menu. It ended up being the perfect amount of food for us - we didn't want leftovers because we were heading to a show. The galbi was amazing! I also loved the sauces - the chili paste was sooo good. Great banchan, too. Finally, our server was really friendly. We visited the famed Agassi Gopchang next door a few weeks later, and I thought Love was better. Will definitely be back.

    À la carte bulgogi

    This was my second time coming in, first time dining alone. I wanted to make a reservation but was running late so I just walked in and was seated promptly. The place was busy but not super packed. My waiter came quickly, I ordered the bulgogi kimchi fries and the à la carte bulgogi. The fries came out quickly and the special sauce was amazing along side the cheese sauce. A definite must. The bulgogi was cooked to perfection, and I enjoyed all the sides including my favorite the kimchi. I didn't get to enjoy the salad so I took it home with the rest of my bulgogi. And my waiter even gave me some extra kimchi! Service was great and quick, place was busy but not super loud. Prices were pretty good too, when I came the first time I came with my friend and we did the all you can eat which was about $100 per person. That was an enjoyable experience too. I'll definitely be back!

    First time trying not a bad experience I am not an avid meat eater but if you are you would enjoy. Staff from beginning to end was great, attentive and polite Cute laid back atmosphere. Note you will definitely leaving smelling of food All in all nice experience.

    The first time I came here years ago I vowed to be back. I have been to Korean BBQS all around and none of them match this places vibe. I love that the workers here get to know you, everyone is nice, friendly and willing to help you have a good time always. In the middle of the city you never expect kindness like I've received here. This time around I ordered different things and as usual everything tasted amazing. This time we had the server cook the food for us which turned out to be quicker and more effective so I do recommend that if you're not too excited to cook yourself. There are many bbq places in the city but the food here is quality and never leaves me with a stomach ache like I've gotten at other places. The drinks here are also fantastic and in general the location is the best! Thank you for an amazing time and I will 100% be back.

    Love Korean BBQ is situated in a prime location in Koreatown and my family and I were craving KBBQ. They allowed walk ins which was great! They have an option for AYCE ($100 for 90 min) or a la carte, and we opted for a la carte. We got the beef set A which included an option for boneless rib, tenderloin, or Denver steak. We opted for the boneless rib. The set also comes with ribeye, brisket, skirt steak, rib finger and bulgogi! It also comes with an option of sides and we opted for the cheese steamed egg. This set was perfect for my family which was a group of 5 ladies! We also got the corn cheese which everyone really liked! We got the regular banchans and rice included for the meal so this was perfect way to pair everything. This restaurant also has a DJ playing music but I didn't think it was too bad and we could still hear and talk to each other. The service was great - they help cook the meat in front of you which I always appreciate! Highly recommend this spot!

    Bimbimbap
    Brian L.

    Overall: Love KBBQ is a pretty solid Korean BBQ spot. They have good service and fairly generous portion sizes. Food: I got the bimbimbap and it was fairly large. It came in a large stone pot and the rice on the bottom was nice and crispy. Added the gochujang and I was all set. Service: The service here is pretty fast. We came at a not too busy time. Ambiance: This is a casual sit-down place. Lots of seating.

    Came to this restaurant after recommendation from a Korean friend who works in the industry. Our table was of six people so we were seated downstairs, a pretty place with dim lights and lots of big tables. Service was fast and they explained everything well, but there was some difficulty with communication about the drinks. Twice we asked for a bottle of sparking water and we had to ask multiple times, as if we were ignored (lol); a friend ordered a drink and was brought a glass of wine by mistake. No problem, they changed it. But both that drinks and my old fashioned tasted like straight up gasoline. Probably having some wine would have been better. But they had these drinks on the menu so I thought it was weird that their execution was so poor. Anyways, the meats were marbled and amazing and tasty, cooked perfectly, you can see the quality of it. So I'm not too mad... but drinks were $17 each would come back but order Coca Cola instead.

    Perfect for a spontaneous night out with friends. Big portions, good food, and casual but friendly service. As expected at 9:30pm, our party of three didn't need to wait for a table. The music is banging and the place is open until 1 for anyone who wants late night kbbq and soju shots. For our party of three, an order of bulgogi kimchi fries, spicy octopus, and marinated kalbi was the perfect amount of food in addition to the free banchan. Everything worked tasted great in combination. The kimchi fries and marinated kalbi were delicious while the octopus was a little chewier than we would've liked. Flavor-wise, the octopus tasted great and was sautéed with vegetables and udon making it a filling dish. Split amongst three people, this was a decently priced and filling dinner that prepared us for the long night we had ahead. No complaints.

    Pork Belly, LA Galbi, Beef Bibimbap, Cheese Steam Egg, Seafood Tofu Stew, and Kimchi Pork Stew
    Michelle H.

    LOVE Korean BBQ is an informal KBBQ joint that offers AYCE and a la carte. For a restaurant in NYC, there are a decent number of seats and tables. The servers were fairly attentive to my table and the food came out quick. My friends and I came in during the weekday and got their lunch special which was a la carte. I ordered the Pork Belly and Cheese Steam Egg. Since I got their lunch special "meat," the Pork Belly was already grilled for me. It was really good! The cut was thick and juicy. I just dipped the pork belly in salt and ate it with rice and it was tasted great. I do think that the order of Pork Belly was too much for me to finish on my own, but I have a small stomach. The Cheese Steam Egg was not to my taste. It had truffle oil of sorts on the top and I think there was too much cheese. The egg was also cooked thoroughly and it tasted more like an omelette as opposed to a steamed egg at KBBQ. The sides were good and I especially liked their kimchi as it was spicy. Overall, I think this is a nice place for KBBQ, but the prices were a bit high than what I am used to and what I like.

    Phil cooked everything for us
    Michael M.

    I went for Valentine's Day and had the best meal of my life. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the servers cooked and cut it for us. Our server, Phil, was extremely attentive and kind. We ordered a Valentine's Day special; we got to try several meats with sides, a bottle of wine, and a big slice of cheesecake. It was great. I can't wait to go back one day.

    Ask the Community - Love Korean BBQ

    I see answers about eating alone, but is it possible to order BBQ on your own?

    Yes, you can.

    The reservation widget on Yelp isn't on. When I call the restaurant, it goes straight to vm. How to reserve?

    Not sure, but I went directly through their web site

    Is this all you can eat?

    Nope! It's regular dining with some sets to choose from

    Do you cook your own meat, or does a server cook it for you?

    The server does it for you.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    It's a bit loud and trendy but no reason children can't eat that I saw.

    Hi, can I come alone to eat or you have to come in a group?

    You are certainly allowed to eat solo. Group is not required to dine in but Korean bbq at a place like Love is better with a group or with someone. Price is the same for a la carte orders or bbq sets. And seating is still based upon availability.

    Do you accept discover credit cards?

    Yes we do!!

    Do you accept Apple Pay here?

    Yes!

    I just made reservation online but I couldn't tell our seat is indoor or outdoor. Is there a way to figure it out?…

    Hello I can help you out please give me your reservation info

    Hi- your phone number keeps ringing and goes to voicemail, and your mailbox continues to be full so no one can contact you. I am trying to confirm a reservation ASAP for Thur 9 people. Please advise on what I am supposed to do?

    Reservations can be made on their website for 8 or less. If you can't get through, and need a reservation soon, I would go elsewhere.

    Hi, do you have another phone number? Been trying to contact for additional questions but your phone is still down for quite a while. The date today is 9/15/2021.

    Hello I’m sorry we had technical issues with the phone for any questions please call now.

    Hi, I've been trying to call to make a reservation for 9 people, are you open?

    Hello please call again.

    Do you have to have reservations?

    Hello yes please call the store for more info.

    Do you currently have a cocktail drinks menu set up yet? Looking to go on a date this weekend with my boyfriend and want to know.

    Hello yes we do. You are more than welcome to visit our website and check on our menu. If you have more questions please give us a call.

    Do they have desserts? Anything for someone celebrating a bday? Thanks

    Nothing in house but I've seen them accommodate parties by purchasing from local bakeries.

    Do they offer drinks?

    Yes, they have a drink menu. I've only tried their frozen margarita and love frose but they do offer more drinks.

    Do they offer heating for outdoor dining?

    Yes

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....

We got the large beef combination platter which comes with ribeye, thin skirt, brisket, marinated kalbi, and marinated chuck flap. Most people stuck with water, while a couple got ginger ale.

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.

    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.

    Have you ever had a meal and you never wanted it to end? That was me for this meal. I would come…read moreback here in a heart beat and when I do, I can't wait to try the other items on the menu!!! Galbi-jjim and mushroom sotbap is literally a match made in heaven. 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!! Deff a classy establishment

    I came here for my birthday celebration recently and had a good time! The interior of Moono is…read morestunning and spacious as it was once an old cathedral. 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.
