Notable Picks
#1
Mapo BBQ
8.4
A Murray Hill charcoal-KBBQ standby built around marinated galbi and a deep bench of banchan that keeps tables camping out. Come here for classic, meat-forward satisfaction and a fast-moving dining room that prioritizes grilling over ceremony.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mapo galbi (marinated short rib), Sang galbi (non-marinated short rib), Steamed egg (gyeran-jjim)
What makes it special: Charcoal-driven KBBQ with marinated galbi as the main event.
8.3
A compact Murray Hill grill house where the move is Korean BBQ with a seafood-leaning edge, especially grilled eel alongside the usual beef-and-pork rotation. It’s strongest when you lean into the specialty items and let the banchan do the supporting work.
Must-Try Dishes:
Grilled eel, LA galbi, Seafood soft tofu stew (soondubu)
What makes it special: KBBQ that’s especially strong on grilled eel and seafood sides.
8.2
A late-night Korean kitchen that leans pocha-style: loud energy, shareable plates, and comforting hot pots that keep groups ordering ‘one more.’ Best used as a seafood-pancake-and-soju kind of stop when you want variety and momentum more than fine edges.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seafood pancake (haemul pajeon), Fried chicken (Korean-style), Army stew (budae-jjigae)
What makes it special: Pocha-style late-night menu built for sharing and hot-pot comfort.
A Korean BBQ-and-noodle hybrid where cold noodles are not an afterthought—they’re part of the strategy. The best meals pair one grilled meat combo with naengmyeon for a clean, chilled reset between richer bites.
Must-Try Dishes:
LA galbi + naengmyeon combo, Mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), Spicy tofu stew (soondubu-jjigae)
What makes it special: KBBQ paired with legit cold noodles for a balanced meal arc.
8.0
A small, family-run KBBQ room with solid marination and a straightforward, no-show approach to grilling. Expect a tighter space and simpler setup, but strong pork-and-kalbi payoff and a dependable steamed-egg side that rounds out the spread.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pork belly (samgyeopsal), LA kalbi, Steamed egg (gyeran-jjim)
What makes it special: Family-run KBBQ with strong pork cuts and friendly pacing.

A tofu-stew-first Korean spot that’s built for fast comfort: sundubu bubbling, banchan refills, and a menu that stays focused on dependable staples. It’s at its best as a quick sit-down for stew-and-rice satisfaction rather than a long multi-round feast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Kimchi soft tofu stew (kimchi sundubu), Seafood soft tofu stew (haemul sundubu), Lunch special set (stew + rice + banchan)
What makes it special: Sundubu-focused comfort with reliable banchan and quick turnaround.
Worthy Picks
7.9
A soup-house style Korean spot that leans into bone-broth comfort—hot, savory, and built to be eaten with steady focus. The right move is one deep-broth bowl plus rice, then use the table seasonings to tune it to your heat and salt preference.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seolleongtang (ox bone soup), Oxtail soup, Bossam (boiled pork)
What makes it special: Bone-broth soups that hit as true cold-weather comfort.

Must-Try Dishes:
Bulgogi lunch set, Bibimbap, Spicy pork lunch set
What makes it special: Fast Korean lunch sets with standout value and banchan support.
