Ahgassi Korean Barbecue

Aghassi Gopchang - Review - Koreatown - New York - The Infatuation

"Ahgassi Gopchang’s first location is in LA, and it’s BTS-approved. The second is in a bright bi-level space in Koreatown, with pink flowers on the walls and gas grills on every table. It’s a fun, slightly upscale spot for KBBQ, and perfect when you need two things: fantastic galbi and the intestinal cuts known as gopchang. Unlike many of its neighbors—Gopchang Story across the street, for example—it excels at both. Get one of the combos, starting around $90 for two people. Or, if you’re going a la carte, focus on the large intestine stuffed with melty fat and juicy short rib that forms a nice crust on the griddle. Skip the cheesy corn—it gets a little congealed—but do order some tangy kimchi jjigae and a bottle of soju for the table." - Bryan Kim
