Jongro BBQ

We went there twice during our trip in NYC. The food was really good but my compliment would go to Terry, a staff we met during our second visit. He was very attentive and his service was amazing. He would ask if we want more side dishes or how do we like the meat, he would refill our sauce plate when it’s nearly empty without having us asking. I really want to mention his name as we didn’t get this kind of service at our first time there.

Jongro on the second floor opens and fills up quickly, it is very popular. We got a large beef platter, a bibimbap, of course banchan and all the sides, spicy squid, korean cold noodles, and a seafood pancake. It actually ended up being a bit too much food for 4 people. The tables have limited spaces- they bring a complimentary cheese and corn and a hot egg bowl. That was a nice touch. The BBQ area is quite big in the center and takes up majority of the table- can also make your clothes and hair smell when you leave. The squid was excellent- came with veggies and shrimp and pork. Seafood pancake in my personal opinion was just OK, but everyone else thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff here handle all the cooking and distribution of food and plates. The banchan is limited- pickled radish, scallion salad, kimchi and pickled onion. The meat and it’s quality was decent, the large platter had so much food! The bibimbap I also thought was just OK. The cold noodles were excellent. Overall we had a great experience here.

Jongro BBQ offers an authentic Korean BBQ experience right in the middle of Koreatown. The atmosphere is lively, energetic, and unmistakably authentic — the kind of place where the sounds, aromas, and busy environment are part of the experience. It may not be a quiet or refined dining setting, but that is exactly what gives Jongro BBQ its unique character and charm. The food was excellent, with flavorful dishes and high-quality ingredients that showcase the strengths of Korean barbecue. The combination of grilling at the table, fresh ingredients, and traditional flavors creates an enjoyable and memorable dining experience. A special highlight was the service. Our waiter was remarkable — he managed to remember everything without writing anything down, which was genuinely impressive considering the number of dishes, requests, and details involved. His attention, experience, and efficiency showed a high level of professionalism and contributed significantly to the smooth flow of the evening. Despite the busy environment, everything was very well organized. The staff handled the fast pace effortlessly, and the entire operation ran smoothly. The energy of the restaurant, combined wit

Loved Jongro BBQ so much had to return for a second experience. Completely nonchalant entrance to a tiny elevator that works more like a teleportation device, opening up to floors bursting from the seams with dinner goers. Loud, boisterous, food and family / friends focused eatery. Lots of selection on the menu, primarily focused around fresh sliced frozen meats that go on a barbecue at your table. Helpful staff progressed our meal from one stage to the next. Great for get togethers, conversations over food, show diners.
