Baekjeong NYC

The 15 Best Restaurants In Koreatown - New York - The Infatuation

"On a street loaded with KBBQ, Baekjeong—which started opening locations in California in 2012—stands out as the most consistently good option. Apparently, the rest of the city agrees, because wait times at this restaurant can be horrendous. Either make a prepaid reservation (available for parties of six or more), or arrive early. Every table is outfitted with a tubular stainless steel vent that looks like a slightly intimidating probe, and you should expect loud music and a mostly-drunk crowd. All of the meat options are fantastic, and everything else—from the pork mandu and seafood pancake to the egg custard and cheesy corn—is just as great." - bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, matt tervooren
