Barn Joo 35

I visited Barn Joo with my friends for a late lunch. It was quiet since it was between lunch and dinner so it was easy to chat. I enjoyed the music, atmosphere, and food. The restaurant is a bit small so the tables and chairs are close together but everything else is fantastic! I ordered the bibimbap stone pot and it was absolutely delicious. My friends each ordered the lunch combo with galbi and all of the food was great. The portion sizes are very generous for the price, especially in NYC and I would absolutely come back!

Delicious Korean style tapas. The seafood pancake was pricey and I don’t think it’s worth it, but besides that, everything I had was good. Love the mushroom and shishito pepper. The crispy tofu was a pleasant surprise. Pork, potato, and rice cake was delicious. Buns were also good. Service was good. I am looking forward to coming back to try more things 😊

Such a fun restaurant!! Delicious food and great vibes. I will say the music made for a louder ambiance but the music was bangin. I was so tempted to get up and dance multiple times. As for the food, my friend is the Korean expert so I can’t say I can recall all of the dishes and their names perfectly, but I will call a couple out: 1. The fried chili shrimp tapas was delicious. The flavors in the sauces were delicious and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. 2. Katsu was great. 3. Hot stone bowl with bulgogi was arguably my favorite dish. 4. The glass noodles in the bulgogi hot pot were also prime. Honestly this dish was sooo much food, total price performer. 5. Spicy pork main was DELICIOUS. I know I got really enthusiastic just there but I loved the flavors in the spicy pork and it was totally bearable from a spice perspective. Also bonus points because they had tall 12oz. Skinny coke cans. This was a vibe because they are rare.

05/20/23; First meal in nyc this summer and had it with this LA来的NYsoul. (Was trying to go to Chong dang gol but the line was too long.. The galbi-jjim is okay, mainly sweet which I don’t hate, but I’d say it’s lacking other flavor like savory and spiciness. The soft shell crab is pretty nice with the sauce. Also got the special soju cocktail 🍹☺️ 姐姐 dropped her hat when we finished walking out on the street.. but gladly we found it back

Adorable, intimate, Delicious, friendly. These would be the four word I would use to describe Barn Joo 35. We had a party of 6 at 8pm on a Saturday and didn’t have reservations but the staff got a table together for us in the blink of an eye. The restaurant is quaint and has a lovely atmosphere. The rear open kitchen concept allows you to see what’s happening or focus on your own party. The food was outstanding. And the kitchen prepares and brings everything out family style. But everyone had food within 5 minutes of the first dish being dropped off. Perfect levels of spice and heat. I highly recommend the seafood Japche as an entrée and the shishito peppers and mushrooms as an appetizer. Samantha was an amazing server, but the entire staff was so friendly and helpful. 10/10 will be returning.

Had a fantastic time at this restaurant! The ambiance was delightful, and the interior had a charming vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. The added bonus of spinning the fortune wheel for free food and drinks with a reservation is a great touch(only for those who have reservation) . Don't miss out—call and book a table for a memorable dining experience!
