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.

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

Must-Try Dishes:
Pork belly (samgyeopsal), LA kalbi, Steamed egg (gyeran-jjim)
