Ahgassi Gopchang Korean BBQ

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for a while, and finally stopped by on a Saturday night. We ordered the small Beef Combo with boneless short rib (YUM!) and cheese corn. The egg custard and kimchi stew were included in the combo. Banchan were enjoyable and refillable. All the meats in the combo were great, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. The meal came out to be ~$150 (not counting tip) so it definitely was a pricier meal for two. Reservation highly recommended.

The place is really pretty and the food was really good. The severs are very nice and attentive. My sister dropped her chopsticks and got a stain on her jeans but they immediately came over with new chopsticks and a tide pen. Our server was Woo, very good job.

This place is an absolute rip-off. I came in with my husband and two children and ordered the “premium specialty beef set” for $189.99 — five meats in total. It wasn’t even enough food for two people, let alone four. On top of that, service was terrible. No one came to our table to cook the meat, and we waited over 20 minutes before finally flagging someone down. When we brought this up with management, they were completely indifferent. To make matters worse, the meat was low quality and definitely not worth the price. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid this place.

We had such an amazing time at Ahgassi Gopchang! We ordered the beef combo and everything was grilled to absolute perfection so flavorful and tender🙌🏽 It was also my first time trying steamed egg, and we were so pleasantly surprised, it was light, fluffy, and delicious! The stew was also super comforting and full of flavor. Huge shoutout to our server Sedrick; he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He really elevated the experience for us! If you’re looking for high-quality Korean BBQ in NYC with great service and expertly grilled meats, this is the place ✨✨

I went to this place for a late lunch, 2:20pm. It's a nice bright restaurant. We ordered the beef large intestines and offal stir fry. As always, lots of banchan. Everything was very good. I like a place that doesn't overcook vegetables. Theirs still had a nice crunch. They cooked the intestines for us on the grill. Nicely charred. A testament to good food is clean plates. The only thing remaining was some of the sauces. I would definitely return if I was in the area again.

This is the best Korean place I’ve been too! So yummy, heartwarming, meat is absolutely beyond this world 🤤🥹❤️. And there were so many delicious banchans… Special thanks for Sedrick and Niande for our wonderful time here! Recommend to everyone who have been to Korea and loves Korean food.

I visited this restaurant for the second time today, and once again, I was thoroughly impressed! The food is absolutely fantastic. However, today was extra special because I was on a diet and wasn’t planning on eating much. But our server went above and beyond to make my experience memorable. He kindly brought me a simple, yet perfect meal of salad, egg, and tofu, prepared without seasoning, so I had something to eat. Not only was he thoughtful, but his service was also exceptional! He was attentive, fun, and really supportive, making the experience even more enjoyable. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is, and I’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

Our server, Woo, was kind and friendly. We enjoyed the food and the music. I appreciate the server checking on us once in a while. It was a great place to eat kbbq. I would definitely come back again!!

cutie David was very professional, helpful and an asset to your establishment! would definitely recommend and come back again!

it was great! the food was really good and fresh. Nainde was a spectacular server for us! The ambiance was fantastic

This is my goto for KBBQ--quality and flavor are top notch! Respect, kindness, and atmosphere are the best here. Special shout out to Sedrick and Niande for their recommendations, attentiveness, and smiles

Wanted to try this "new" spot. Super stoked when I saw the menu and this KBBQ restaurant does Gopchang ( I believe literally translated it means small intestines but in kbbq format they mean like innards/ offal) as well as regular KBBQ so really you can get whatever your heart desires. It's à la carte, they do have some combos and it came in small or large. The small was recommended for 2 people. Our server was Scott and he was amazing! It was a pretty busy afternoon but he was very attentive and made sure everything was cooked to perfection. The banchan was very well done. Every dish was tasty and Scott checking in and refilling what we needed. The white kimchi was surprising, I wasn't expecting that much flavor from a plain looking kimchi. We got the seafood pancake because that's a must try at every Korean restaurant I go to. The seafood pancake here was huge! It was like a pizza size filled with chunks of seafood. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My party did Modeum combo- small which was basically all the stuff you'd find in a Gopchang combo. It included : Beef Small Intestine+ Honey Comb Tripe +Beef Large Intestine + Beef Heart + Beef Abomasum (I had to google this, it's the cow's 4th stomach) + Whole Garlic. I love Gopchang but it's not available everywhere. I know this is an acquired taste as not everyone grows up eating or enjoying offal, it's chewy and possibly an acquired taste. Small intestines were my favorite followed by tripe, abomasum (very chewy) and then the large intestine( I find it too oily in general). The heart was just a tiny piece so it was just a bite. The whole garlic they basically made a garlic confit on the bbq burner at the table. So happy to have stopped by, my new KBBQ spot in the city.

I was so glad that we found this place for our last dinner in NYC. I knew it's a good spot when I saw all these Korean celebs autographs at the entrance. :P We walked into this restaurant on a weeknight without reservation. They were able to accommodate us quickly. By the time we got to the table, we saw this beautiful banchan set welcoming us :) We ordered the premium specialty beef set (4 meats) and added the fried pork dumplings and sweet corn plate. The set also included tofu stew and steamed eggs. It's plenty of food for two adults and two kids. The meat quality is superb. Staff members grilled the meat for us and we had refills of the banchan too. I really love the flavor from their marinated boneless short ribs. My husband loves the wagyu flatiron very much. I don't often see white kimchi in Korean restaurant (at least in the West Coast). I was surprised to see that here in Ahgassi. But their cucumber kimchi isn't that spicy even though it has the typical red chili all over. Definitely please try their delicious kimchi offerings!! Interesting touch from our evening: they gave our kids room temperature rice... and they even scoped the rice out from the metal bowl to their plate. And their ventilation is excellent. We did not get the BBQ smell stuck on our clothing or our hair ;)

The staff was kind enough to let my friend and I order off the lunch menu 2 minutes after it ended! They were attentive yet didn't hover over us when we were there at a slow time. It's very aesthetically pleasing inside, super cute. I had the bibimbap with bulgogi & egg added. It was very tasty and filling. The bangchans were all so yummy and fresh! I love the cucumber banchan the most. After tax and tip, it was roughly $25 which is (unfortunately) standard for nyc ktown prices. I was able to bring home the leftovers so a two meals for less than $30 is amazing, girl math!

Food- daily a 5 star since everything is flavored well accompanied by delicious banchan. Service- everyone was extremely pleasant. On time with cooking the meats and timely refills on water. Will conversate but not overly chatty. Ambiance- plenty of seating and you're actually far away from others so you can have private conversations.

The restaurant was spacious and has very good ventilation. The bbq smell didn't stuck to my clothing. Service was excellent. They refilled the side dishes very promptly. Made good recommendations. We got the small beef combo with wagyu. The meat quality was excellent. We requested the waiter to cook the meat to medium instead of well done. If you don't have a preference, the waiter will cook the meat to well done. So stated your preference. The wagyu was so tender and melted in the mouth. The combo was a good introduction to different cuts of meat. If you have a preference on the cuts of meat, don't order the combo. The individual order of meat is more expensive but also a bigger portion compared to the combo. We had a great meal!

It was fun to dine at a restaurant of AAPI celebrities including BLACKPINK. I selected this place to take my sister and her Korean-American boyfriend who was missing Korean food. The meat for BBQ was delicious. Unfortunately, I found a bug in my salad and they quickly replaced it but were not a bit apologetic, hence the one star subtraction. I had to ask for clean set of silverware/chopsticks but I shouldn't have had to ask for replacement of where the bug touched. They run a tight ship, but seems some things were overlooked/rushed. The bbq meet was tasty and appreciated them cooking it for us. Service is fast. You are timed on your dining. Also, they have great ventilation, so you won't smell like food after leaving.

I had an amazing experience at Ahgassi Gopchang NYC! Our server, Sedrick, was absolutely outstanding--attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He recommended the squid pasta, the honey beef, and the boneless short rib, and every single dish was superb. The meat was incredibly fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The honey beef especially stood out with its perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Overall, everything from the service to the food was top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great Korean BBQ experience in the city.

Pretty spacious. You leave your stroller along the wall. Ban chan was great. At the time they had some tofu and I asked for some without spicy sauce. It was a very good choice for a toddler. The korean pancake was very crunchy and we liked it a lot. The jap chae was quite peppery. There were not many noodles. The waitress was very nice and gave us a steamed egg on the house since she noticed our tot. We got the marinated bone-in short rib, which was very tasty. All very tasty, but definitely quite pricey.

Came here late at night looking for a quick kbbq place. It was late at night and we were just looking for places that were open. Came here and ordered a small beef set. Our server was Sedrick and we had such a great time with him! He was very attentive with tending to our food and refilled our banchan with us asking. Super nice dude and would definitely come back another time. The ambiance was chill and nicely decorated. Meat quality was comparable to Jongro bbq which is my usual go to.

Amazing food. They cook the meat for you and our side dishes were already on the table when we sat down for our reservation. David was a fantastic grill cook. Shout out to him! The vibes are loud and they play great music. Best kbbq in nyc!

I try to keep my reviews positive even if there were perhaps downsides in my experience. But this spot just really rubbed me the wrong way. First of all, the food, as long as you get it, is actually very good quality and tasty. The service though both times I'd been to this restaurant needs improvement. I'd been here once for a small group dinner and most recently for a large group dinner. I want to focus on the latter experience because it was just so much worse than the initial visit. For our large party dinner, we needed to pre-pay and were subject to a prix-fixe menu. Due to our size, we were assigned to dine in the party room for a set time of two hours. While quality of the food remained high for both occasions, the experience with service went downhill from decent to inconsistent and condescending. We were supposed to be 14, and we all paid in advance and provided the selections, as required, for the prix-fixe dinner. The private room had two tables- one to accommodate eight, other to accommodate six people. We were told, due to placement of the grills, tables were affixed to the floor and could not be moved. Unfortunately, three people had to cancel last minute so we were actually a party of 11- nine squeezed to fit at one table, while other table had only two persons, including me. We had prepaid for a party of 14 and so much food and attention from the staff was going to the larger table. Our server was pleasant but it was annoying when my side ordered extra dishes a la carte they were being delivered to the other table. We asked for the dish and were told to go to the other table. We were near but not yet at our two hour time limit, and I was trying to get the attention of the staff to get in more food but was repeatedly ignored. The manager came over and I made a comment I wanted to get more food on my side and he retorted we need to start wrapping up. I let him know it was difficult to get service and he had the nerve to blame me and the other guest it was our fault we sat separate from the larger table. That was a rude comment from the manager considering the other table accommodates eight comfortably and the ninth party squeezed in at the end of the table. We were paid for 14 and were being faulted because of the restaurant's layout and inability to fit 11 at one table. I'm writing this review as a warning to anyone looking to have a large group dinner and may be unaware the party would be split into multiple tables. With multiple tables, the service may be biased. Plus, the manager is unprofessional so if you have any issues, he will probably fault the customer. Such a shame I would have liked to keep this restaurant on my list of recommendations, but I am keeping it off due to the distasteful service. The food is not worth the frustration.

We came for a late lunch so before the busy dinner crowd! The place is nicely decorated and spacious. Since it was just 2 of us, we went for smaller portions with 2 stone pot bibimbap and added spicy pork belly with spicy sauce and egg. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. The spicy pork was brought to us cooked so we did not do any additional grilling. Since we didn't actually do any grilling at our table, we experienced slower service as in the waiter didn't check on us after we got our food. So we had to get creative with getting additional side dishes. Other than the slower service, we still enjoyed our time here and left very full.

Came here while visiting NYC and loved it! The service was excellent (shoutout to Sedrick!) and the place has a really nice ambience -- clean, comfortable, and perfect for Korean BBQ. The BBQ itself was amazing (definitely the highlight). The steamed egg was so yummy, and the corn cheese is different from the usual since they use Korean coarse kernels -- a little chewy, but fun if you like that texture. Side dishes were decent and the stew was fine, nothing over the top but still good. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot and will for sure come back next time I'm in NYC!

We came on Mothers Day and we're not disappointed! Upon check in to our reservation, we were greatly warmly by the host Atsushi. He seems friendly and warmhearted. We ordered $145 set which is more expensive. But it was proven to be worth it. There was a person who cooked for us. He cooked everything to perfection. I highly recommend this place.

Signaled by the pleasantly colored purple exterior walls, you know you've found a delicious not so discrete kbbq spot. One of the best in the city. This place is visited by some celebs and its original location is in LA. We were seated in the second floor once our whole party arrived. The sides were already beautifully displayed on the table when we were seated. The food arrive quick and the service was efficient. Some of the best Korean bbq I've had in the city!

Ahgassi is definitely a godsend KBBQ restaurant that I think of when asked what is the best place for KBBQ. I've visited 3 times and would definitely recommend and go back. The aesthetic is up my alley with the pink and purple and the menu is just as cute. Ahgassi Combo - brisket, pork belly, pork collar, pork jowl. Pork collar was the best out of all the porks. We ended with the marinated short rib and it was the best. Beef Combo: brisket, skirt steak, marinated short rib Marinated short rib is still the best and wished they cooked it a bit longer. The marinated short rib is yum as always. It is number 1 in my heart. Also ordered Honey + garlic beef which is super chewy, it is not as good, the meat taste is still there after cooking. The japchae is oily and eh. Yuzu ice tea: sweet but very icy

Sedrick's service and recommendations were on point! Don't miss the marinated pork rib - perfectly done. Healthy portions, fun vibe, great experience. We will be back!

I've been to the one in L.A. so I wanted to try this one too. I love how you can make a reservation on Resy. So much more convenient than waiting HOURS. They really pay attention to detail. The banchan was so fresh. Green salad was refreshing to start. Fish cake, sweet potato, spicy zucchini, soft tofu, white kimchi (my favorite as I hardly see this at KBBQ in Cali). Their meat quality was better than Baekjeong, my go to place in Rowland Heights. Steamed Egg, seafood pancake, and housemate Chives and pork steamed dumpling nicely seasoned, and so tasty. Nothing was overly salted and seasoned just right. The boneless short ribs, the marinade was just spot on. We ordered the Beef Combo not wanting anything too heavy, skipping the wagyu. Wow. Loved every bite. Our server, Ye Jin, was very efficient and came to cook our meat in a timely fashion, not rushing us at all. We ate so much and I had draft beer (Orion) which was refreshing and paired well with the meal. Definitely taking my kbbq experience to new levels after this dinner. Loved love loved! P.S. You can also find signatures of k idols downstairs near the entrance. Found Yoongi

Great food, vibe and service. Sedrick and the rest of the wait staff were courteous and kind. Will be coming back the next time we are in the city.

My friends and I went to Ahgassi Gopchang on a Friday night around 6 PM. We had a reservation, so we were seated shortly after arriving. The staff let us know that we had 90 minutes to eat, which is totally reasonable for how busy it gets. We were seated on the second floor, and the space was buzzing but organized. We ordered the Ahgassi large set, tteokbokki, and a pitcher of melon makgeolli cocktail. The tteokbokki came with fish cakes and had the classic chewy texture you'd expect. The melon makgeolli was super refreshing and not overly sweet. What made it extra fun was that each cup came with a heart-shaped dropper filled with sweetener syrup pinned to the side, so everyone could customize their drink, such a cute and thoughtful touch! The meat was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Staff regularly came by to help cook and flip our meat, which made everything feel easy and enjoyable. Overall, we had a great experience. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving Korean BBQ, just be sure to make a reservation, because it gets packed!

Really really good Koran bbq. Came here on a Monday night with a friend from out of town. I joined the Yelp wait list feature so by the time I arrived, the table was already ready. In saying this - it wasn't a busy night either. We were seated upstairs and we ordered the popular set combo of beef and pork. All were very tasty. Had to order rice as extra as it wasn't included. Also ordered a pitcher of their melon cocktail. All in, it was approx $100 per person which included tax and tip.

Came here for a Sunday dinner, right before kitchen closed! We got the small beef one. Decent portioning and loved the quality of the side dishes! Sedrick was our server - he did an amazing job. Super attentive. Will be coming back!

I really enjoyed this little hole in the wall spot in Korea town. The meat quality and service was excellent. We left extremely full and satisfied. As Korean bbq connoisseurs lol we were very happy with the amount of food and all the banchan was so yummy. Only thing I would say is that I didn't love the way they served out water in these plastic jugs that just didn't look as clean as I would have liked but that's something that can be fixed easily! Overall I would come back!

Love that you can make a reservation. We booked for two and got one of the set menus with an additional seafood pancake. This was my sister's first time at kbbq as she was visiting from out of state and she loved it too. It was delish and too much food to finish. Sitting near the front door totally kept us from smelling like meat when we left.

Sedrick was great, the food was also really good. We will definitely be coming back.

Food: 10/10 The food in this spot is always a hit. Service: 10/10 Our server, Woo, was great. Ambiance: 10/10 We came at a really slow time so the place was not as loud and it was the perfect spot to catch up with friends and family over a meal.

Just to start off, I had a higher expectation coming into this restaurant. So I was a little bit disappointed with my experience. Major red flag was that our banchan was not refilled and we kept on had to flag the waiter down and get them refilled. For the price point, I think it's the least they can do. Meat quality is there. But just a bit disappointed is all. It's a nice decorated restaurant. We arrived early, so did not need to wait for a table. It was a Sunday rainy day, restaurant gets packed by 6pm. But personally I would not return but thanks for the experience!

Made a reservation, but came early since my friend and I were hungry. It's quite spacious (2 floors of tables), so I'm glad they were able to seat us early. We chose the Ahgassi combo and it was enough food for the both of us. Banchan was delicious and fresh. All the meats were prepared by the server and cooked to perfection (slightly crispy and for the marinated short rib, it was cooked to medium rare). We were so full that we didn't have room for dessert! Def coming back to try other items on the menu: it all looks delish.

Came here on a weekday after work with a group of 6, and we were seated within 30 minutes. We got the Ahgassi combo, along with the steamed egg, yogurt soju cocktail, and seafood pancake. The seafood pancake and the marinated short rib were crowd favorites! Overall pretty solid spot!

Eddie and Mario were excellent! Food ,service, ambience all were wonderful! Light and bright setting. Great lunch choice.

WOW this Korean BBQ experience did not disappoint! I came here earlier this month with 3 other people. We booked a reservation and were seated promptly with the banchan already set up before we were seated - loved that! We ordered the large portion of the Ahgassi Combo (with soft tofu soup), fried dumplings, and cold buckwheat noodles and shared everything between the 4 of us. My highlight was the marinated short rib! I also ordered a Yuzu iced tea - flavorful but REALLY sweet. The staff was amazing and very diligent about refilling our banchans and water. The vents are adjustable over the grill so that the restaurant doesn't smell at all. I also love that they change out the kind of grill based on the kind of meat they're cooking for you! I'd totally come back here one day! Highly recommend it :)

We loved Baekjeong so when we heard it was closed for renovations we were so sad but then we found out Aghassi was the sister store! Us four shared a large Ahgassi Combo which was brisket, pork belly, pork collar, pork jowl and marinated short rib which also came with a steamed egg and soup choice (we chose soondubu). It was delicious and the banchan was also great. If you only can get one meat, definitely go for the marinated short rib, it's so tender and the marinade is so perfect. Service was extremely fast and super friendly. I think the owner or maybe the manager was there and it was really so nice to see how he greeted people, honestly I think it made everything taste better. He and the other servers would welcome people loudly and the service was super fast and attentive. The interior is decorated so pretty as well, it was really spacious and super welcome after all the cramped NY places we had been to. Loved it, would definitely go back!

Been seeing/hearing much of Ahgassi and was finally able to try it out, thank goodness we made reservations. Oddly, it's known for their Gopchang right? It's in its name but I feel they push the meats more than the offal. I saw most tables ordering the meats and not so much the intestines. The banchan was kind of lacking too. They gave a huge piece of sweet potato, you can't cut it with chopsticks and a spoon and since it's one big chunk, no one wants to work for it. The soybean stew was very salty. The salad was nice and refreshing. With that said, I feel they are just average on both ends. I didn't think the beef/pork or the intestines stood out. It's good overall, and I like they have both to offer (most ppl aren't intestine fans). I totally understand the Manhattan pricing, I didn't think the amount eaten was worth the value. Me, living in Flushing, would say that you get more bang for your buck in Flushing.

It's a loud and bustling room. Fairly typical array of meats. The quality is quite good across the board. The side dishes were good but not that interesting. They brought us the cucumbers but we had to ask for the spicy kimchee- I guess because we were not Korean. I had a grapefruit citrusy cocktail but had to remind the waiter -- The Japchae was not great. It was a bit overcooked. The egg douffle was lovely. The kimchee stew was average. We liked our waiter who was friendly and aimed to please. The woman who came around to cut up some of the meat was a bit gruff. But overall we thought the high price and small portions were not a great value even though the food was very good quality.

Came here for a dear friends birthday dinner and the decor spoke to me immediately! It's pink and purple of course. The meat served was so fresh! We went for an early dinner at 5p and that was the perfect time Because the restaurant was not packed and we didn't have to rush. I definitely love going for kbqq with my girls.

Niande was our server and he was awesome! We got the pork and beef combo and I really loved it. Niande also suggested that we grill the sweet potato side dish and it was really good grilled!

This is my new favorite kbbq spot. The banchan is great, the meat selection and platters are a great price, and the service is quick and friendly. We got the Ahgassi meat platter - comes with brisket, pork belly and your choice of pork collar or jowl (we chose pork collar and it's now one of my favorite cuts of pork) and marinated short rib. The marinated short rib is seasoned perfectly and you don't need any sauce for it cause that's how good the marinade is. The order comes with your choice of soup - get the kimchi soup cause it's delicious. Also, an order of steamed eggs which are some of the fluffiest and best steamed eggs I've had at a kbbq spot in a long time. I love to order a side of white rice and add some of the egg to my soup and eat it with a spoonful of rice - so so good. The restaurant itself is super cute and clean and you don't feel crowded next to other diners.

Sedrick and Niande were fantastic! Between giving the best recommendations for meet and anticipating when we were ready for the next round to be cooked. Both were extremely friendly and personable, smiling during our visit. Food was served perfectly, great quality meats and one of the most friendliest and kindest service we've received at a restaurant. Thank you making our visit a fun one! Even better for remembering that we've been served by Sedrick before, even though we're from out of state and visit when can.

My friend was hit with a craving for intestines (yes, you read that right), and somehow that led us to Ahgassi on a Wednesday night. I'd never been here before, but hey, YOLO, so why not make it memorable with a plate of intestines? We went for the small Modeum Combo ($89.99) for two. Now, as a person from Queens, I gotta say - portion-wise, it's definitely not the "grandma-made-enough-for-an-army" portions I'm used to. But this is Manhattan, so I guess we're paying a premium for the vibes and the digestive adventure. That said, we DID get pretty full! Between the intestines, the sides, and whatever magical sauce they brought out, it turned into a legit feast. My first time trying Korean intestine BBQ, and I have to say, I loved it! Highly recommend giving it a shot, especially with that sauce. Is it normal to want to take sauce shots? Asking for a friend... Ambiance? 10/10. This place has nailed the "I might just be cool enough for Manhattan" vibe.

Came on a Wednesday night around 5:30. It definitely got packed as we ate so definitely make a reservation if you eat later! Loved the options of banchan the meal came with, everything was super good. We ordered the beef set, all the meat was good. They cook it here for you which is nice. The decor is super cute inside, they have an upstairs too so lots of seating. Service was great too, they came by often to cook our food. I will say for the meat you get, it is a bit pricey. I feel like I've had just as good meat for a bit cheaper. But otherwise great spot for some kbbq!

Gopchang was okay but daechang wasn't cooked until crispy. The waiter started to strifry the rice without even asking if we were done so that ruined our experience a bit. Waiter was not friendly. Banchan spread was good and owner was friendly.

This is my favorite KBBQ spot in NYC! The food quality is excellent and service is even better. They cook the meat for you, which is nice. The best part in my opinion is definitely the side dishes they offer you (unlimited refills!) I usually get 3 or 4 refills of the tofu dish. The white kimchi they provide is also excellent and pairs well with the meats. Your order comes with a egg souffle as well. I personally really like the thinly sliced brisket and pork belly, but they are known for the gopchang (intestines), which is also pretty tasty. The restaurant is spacious, well-lit, and colorful. Highly recommend coming here!

Great food, interesting format, terrible alcohol situation, hard to know what to order. 5/5 the short ribs, wow. Price was nice at $50 per person which included 20% tip 4/5 rest of the beef and the dumplings 3/5 good water service, tiny containers 2/5 some very weird food scattered around the bbq fire, some good, some hideous, no idea which is which. Tiny chopsticks 1/5 nearly every Asian restaurant is the same when it comes to beer, so I expect it. Hideous beer selection, not a single beer cracked 2.5 on untapped. Koreans in particular hate beer and it shows. Meh, I stuck to water and saved $$$

Jake was amazing! Love this place would come back! Food quality was solid - service great.

Absolutely fantastic k BBQ, would go again. Food was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful, the entire place had a great aesthetic. Recommend the beef and pork special combos! (Thanks for the recommendation, Jin!)

Eh, In a crowded Korean BBQ scene, Agassi Gopchang comes to us from Los Angeles. Its LA restaurant became especially famous when Jin of BTS revealed that it was his favorite Korean restaurant in LA. Unfortunately, the NY branch is only a shell of its original restaurant in LA. It appears that they only share the name and maybe some recipes for the gopchang, but otherwise is not good at all. First of all, pass on the regular non-gopchang meats. Quality was sub-par compared to other KBBQ places (i.e., Yoon Haeundae, Wonjo, Nubiani, etc.). I mean really low marbling, chewy, and funky, not so fresh smell. Gopchang is the way to go but honestly I found the sauces they put on it too sweet. It's like eating offal candy. Blah. Server was nice and she was trying her best, but they are way understaffed and therefore she was not able to provide the level of service she or we wanted. There is just too many good Korean BBQ joints in NYC to excuse this place. It's a pass for me.
