Mapo BBQ

19 Standout Korean Restaurants in Murray Hill, Queens

"A destination spot whose charcoal barbecue renown has surpassed the Murray Hill community, Mapo has sadly been weathering its share of troubles since the pandemic; the death of its owner and a temporary closure have cast a pall over the typically lively space. Now reopened, its standout barbecue remains. Over crackling embers, high-quality cuts of galbi or black pork sizzle and yield tender, juicy bites of meat. Don’t skip on the yukgejang here either: the broth is rich and spicy and the soup altogether is loaded with ample amounts of shredded beef, fernbrake fiddleheads, and scallions." - Caroline Shin
