One of my favorite Korean restaurants. Love their happy hour till 9pm. My favorite is their lychee martinis. Everything is delicious. We ordered the sushi roll, croquettes and chicken buns for appetizers. For mains we had the chicken bibimbap and the salmon. Excellent meal.
Not traditional Korean, and not inexpensive, but quite good. The meat was a little too sweet for my taste, and we ordered a carafe of makgeolli that tasted like the artificially sweetened stuff you get at H-mart. Stick with the cocktails and soju instead.
Let me start by saying that this restaurant was a very good choice for restaurant week. There are a few things that bring this from a five-star to four-star restaurant but let me start with the good things! The apps that we got were the potato croquettes and the sesame chicken wings. These were very special and well done and super delicious. The sauces were unique and gave the appetizers a really good taste. The desserts that we got were also unique and not too sweet. I would go back just to eat the desserts!
The cuts of meat for the main entrees were really good and high quality, however I felt that the main entrees weren't that unique and were a little bit pricey for Korean BBQ. Otherwise the flavor and taste was there. The service was a bit slow because of restaurant week but that is understandable.
Thoroughly enjoyed coming here for a fine Korean dinner! A solid menu offering of classic Korean dishes to BBQ. Dishes are nicely and beautifully put together and there was plenty of it for the cost you pay. You also get to DIY BBQ, which helps one to enjoy the meal at their own pace and not feel rushed by the typical table service anticipated.
I went during restaurant week and got the BBQ, safe it say it was amazing. The flavors meld very well with each other, and everything tasted so good. I even ate the salad with glee and I normally never eat salads. I truly recommend this establishment.
Loved this place. We couldn't stop talking about it the day after. Had the beef short rib and pork belly BBQ. Delicious!
You cook your own meat over grills built into the tables. Would be a great date spot since you have plenty of time to chat while the meat is cooking. Excellent service. Would go back in a heartbeat.
I've been to Bann before and was never impressed with the food because it's not authentic Korean food that I'm always searching for but this visit really pleasantly surprised me.
Ambiance: it's nice inside. It can be romantic, it can be casual, it can be elegant, it can be cozy, it's great for date nights, girls night out, family gatherings, or even happy hour with co-workers.
Food: the food isn't authentic Korean but it's great Korean food with a flair. We had the fried calamari which was doughy but crispy and delicious. We also had the steak tartare bibimbap with generous serving of the steak tartare as well as the dish itself. And we had the Korean chicken soup which was delicious and big enough for two.
Service: very attentive. We were especially pleased with out server who took our order in Korean although he clearly wasn't. Love it!
There were signs for a happy hour by the lounge area which we did not take advantage of. Looked like a $5 cocktail deal.
Fantastic Korean BBQ walking distance from Time Square. Excellent service and reasonable portions too - not too big, not too small. The bulgogi was the big hit of the evening. I suppose reservations are helpful. We were there before 6pm (after a matinee) and there were open tables. Worth a visit!
Really good Korean, fairly authentic with a modern flare. Staff was really friendly and attentive. When we ran out of bon chon they would bring more without asking. Grills are small but have great ventilation. You don't smell like BBQ when you leave, which is a huge ++++. Will be coming back again.
Convenient and delicious. We found this place very close by after watching a show. It was spacious, clean, and quiet with tasty food. After having Korean ceviche, pork buns(unbelievably yummy), and the miso stew, I’m definitely coming back in the future. The only suggestion I would make is to set a changing table around the restroom area.
