Nice eatery, upstairs from the street..easy to miss. Food was very nice and tasty, freshly made, nice selection of dishes to choose from to cover all options and staff were lovely. Hotpot was very well managed, they present it to you cold and then the cook it in front of you and come back and keep an eye on it.

My absolute favorite restaurant in ALL of New York City. I’ve visited NYC twice, and both times I had to come back—this place has become my go-to. I’m vegetarian and they have plenty of amazing options; my top picks were the Popcorn Tofu and the Vegan Meat BBQ. The first time we found it, we actually hesitated to go in. It’s a bit hidden—you have to go up a dark staircase, and we weren’t sure if it would be worth it… but honestly, it was the best decision ever. I’m so glad we gave it a chance. The vibe inside is super cozy, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. I’d come back a thousand times. I already miss it so much! 🥹

There are so many Korean restaurants in NYC’s Koreatown and sometimes it’s hard to choose which to go. I learned of Anytime Kitchen on social media so I figured I’ll try them out. Good thing we did but we were thoroughly impressed. The portions were generous and each dish had its unique, bold, and rich flavors. An absolute delight! The overall vibe was super cool and chill. A great place for a date or a casual hang out spot with your friends and family.

This spot is perfect for a quick bite, whether you're dining solo or with friends. They offer a variety of options to fit different tastes, making it easy to find something you’ll enjoy. Plus, their late hours make it a convenient choice for a meal or a snacky snack any time of day. The casual atmosphere and quick service add to the overall experience, making it a solid go to spot.

Awesome place to grab some delicious Korean food! This restaurant has a fun atmosphere- a good place for a date or night out with friends. They have deals/specials so look out for that on the menu depending on when you go. Everything we ordered was yummy. The food came out quick. Also, you get a discount for paying with cash which saved us some money on the bill. Would definitely come back again.

Came in as a party of four and were automatically charged a 20% tip, even though the restaurant’s own website says that only applies to parties of five or more. No heads-up, no explanation. Service was average and the server barely acknowledged our table, and the portion sizes were small for the price. We normally tip 18%, but for this level of service, 20% was not deserved. Disappointing overall, and we would’ve appreciated the option to tip based on actual experience.

Food: Ordered chives pancake, tteokbokko, and fishcakes with rice wine and cocktail. Recommend the pancake and fish cakes but not the tteokbokko we ordered. Pancake is full of flavor and relatively healthier. Fish cask is soft and warm. The tteokbokko is kinda plain and nothing impressive. Service: waiters are nice. Food came out a bit slow, which is okay given it's Friday night. Vibe: went there Friday night and it's very busy. Highly recommend making reservations. The seating we got is on the side at the food stand style table. It's kinda narrow and tight.

he waiters here are as incredible as the food made here. Makes for a perfect date night experience or group setting Seriously, the waiters went above and beyond when I went. They are SO friendly and attentive!! But without being overbearing. I really appreciated them during my dinner The menu here has a handful of ramen selections, several sushi options and appetizers to start. Everything I had here was delicious!! I'm definitely ok'ing back and recommending this spot to my friends Alaskan roll -- 10/10. Everything I love in a sushi roll, down to the buttery baked salmon. It was perfectly savory Heart attack -- 10/10. Be careful with these, these are actually a little bit spicy! They're so tasty though, and a classic jalapeño bomb that's a great intro to your dinner Garlic edamame -- 6/10. This was the only thing that was a tad plain. Not in a bad way! I just wish there was a little more to this appetizer Miso butter ramen -- comfort in a bowl and certainly my go-to the next time I visit

Spicy Pork Chop Soup is a very tasty dish! It's big enough for 2 to 3 people. Don't order it if you don't eat spicy food. The fried luncheon meat was the food I ordered and I loved this. My friend ordered nori rolls which I tried and it was also very good. I can't pick any other faults except the price is a bit expensive! I will be coming back again.

Great restaurant!! A number of stairs to get to, but it is worth the several flights. The hostess was most kind and answered ALL of my numerous questions!! I ordered the Cheese Spicy Chicken tteokbokki and it was quite good!! The truffle fries were also AMAZING!! Great staff, quick turn-around on the food! A fine late dinner meal...in Koreatown!!

Food was amazing! We all tried each other's dishes and I loved everything I tried. I think everyone did... We were able to get things for the kids too. This is their first time trying Korean food so they weren't all in yet, but it was a good first experience and they had plenty to eat after tasting all the dishes and eating their rice. The atmosphere was fun and loud. I wouldn't say it was specifically family friendly, but they were certainly nice to our kids. Service was prompt and polite.

Tucked away on the third floor of a bustling K-Town building, Anytime Kitchen is a cozy, no-frills spot that delivers quick and satisfying Korean comfort food. Despite its small size, this quick-service restaurant makes the most of its space, offering a variety of seating options that cater to solo diners and groups alike. Service here is fast and efficient--our food arrived promptly, and the self-seating setup makes it easy to settle in and start your meal without delay. The focus is on Korean classics, with a lunch special that highlights street food favorites like Cupbop. The prices are wallet-friendly, though the portions can lean on the smaller side, so keep that in mind if you're extra hungry. We tried the Army Stew, Bulgolgi Cupbop, and Spicy Pork Cupbop. The Bulgolgi Cupbop was a standout--flavorful without being overly greasy, and the addition of unique toppings (like what we guessed was kimchi jam) added a fun twist. That said, the mayo drizzle felt out of place and overpowered the dish, which was a bit of a miss. The Spicy Pork Cupbop was solid, though not as memorable as the Bulgolgi. One minor gripe was the $1 charge for water during lunch, but it's a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. Overall, Anytime Kitchen is a great spot for a quick, affordable meal in K-Town. It's perfect for those looking to grab a bite on the go or enjoy a casual lunch without breaking the bank. While it may not be a destination restaurant, it's a reliable option for satisfying your Korean food cravings.

cool vibe, but a lot of their stuff online isn't updated. Plus the 'buy three get one free' doesn't include the pitcher. stuff is kinda pricey but the atmosphere is nice

Was looking for a late night legit dinner in K-town and this place fit the bill. On a weeknight, we were able to eat at midnight with full service & not being rushed out! Anytime serves Korean classics like fried chicken, rice cakes & spicy pork. They have a decent deal where you buy two entrees and get an app free- our app was popcorn chicken & it was surprisingly extra large. The individual grills & cast iron pans are a fun addition. (You're not cooking the meat, it's just keeping the dish hot & crispy) Definitely recommend if you're looking for a full dinner late at night.

This place is a fun time. Food and drinks were delicious. Came here on New Years Eve. We got kicked out at 11:20pm because someone reserved the table... even though there were couple of other tables opened. The army stew was by far the best. It's on the third floor. Careful of the slippery floors

I've passed by the entrance to Anytime Kitchen quite a few times on the way to the karaoke spot upstairs, and have always commented to friends how it smells good and that I wanted to try sometime... well last night was the golden opportunity for my partner and I! Stepping in fairly early on a Saturday and it was packed, so we knew we would be in for a treat. Sitting down and looking at the menu (which was online), we were pleased to see a buy 2, get 1 free deal. We picked those 3 items, and one additional (everything looked sooooo good) along with a bottle of rice wine which was delicious. While all the food was delicious, the fried pork kalbi was both out favorite dish. Vibe is chill and casual, service quick. Prices very reasonable. We already started gameplanning our order for the next time we come, which is VERY rare for us as we try to avoid repeating restaurants. Would absolutely recommend to others!

This restaurant is on the third floor of an inconspicuous stairway in the middle of Ktown so it is pretty easy to miss. We made a reservation on a Thursday night to be safe but it wasn't necessary. The place wasn't completely packed but there was a good amount of turnover and new customers coming in. The hostess was also able to move our party of 2 to a table of 4 because the table wasn't big enough to hold all the food we ordered. The BBQ pork belly came out first on a portable heater and was a great start to the meal. The creamy ramyun was our favorite dish of the night. The spicy chicken tteokbokki was a little bit too spicy for me but it was delicious none the less. The pork kalbi was okay, but definitely not a must try. All in all this was a great place to grab some dinner and chat over some food and drinks. The atmosphere was suitable for conversation without being too loud or rowdy. Food was good, staff was nice, would recommend.

Good affordable Korean spot where they sell Makgeolli slushies in a cute container for $30 ish! It serves about 5 glasses so not bad! Food wise I liked the jjajangmyeon and the katsu and we also got chicken wings! They also have stews and ttebokki and lots of other items! It is a trek to get to the restaurant since its upstairs but just keep an eye out for the sing when you're walking along the main 32 st!

Came here with my boyfriend, friend and her husband and had a good time. The place is large, has plenty of seating, is a beautiful and clean spot. I wish their korean bbq wings were a little better but my friend said it was an "off day" and I believe her. I want to go back and try again. The food was really good dont get me wrong, just not the best wings. Try the fried spam; I NEVER eat spam but my friend made me try a bite and it was a pleasant surprise. Food came out quick and it was reasonably priced, if not a deal/steal!

First off, I made a mistake because the ambiance and the vibes for this place is definitely for friends who want to get some drinks and talk. With that being said, I went with my family and we ate family style! My family has all sorts of allergens and food preferences, so it was pretty tough to get food for everyone, but we made it work! We got an abundance of food and honestly they were all pretty good. I think the only thing bad about it was the price. The service was pretty good but could be better. The ambiance was unfair for us to judge because we just didn't know any better. We were also a party of 5 so they charged gratuity and expected tips as well. I still rate it a 5/5 regardless.

Anytime Kitchen in NYC is a true hidden gem for those seeking quick, affordable Korean food. And I do mean hidden--it's tucked away on the third floor of a building, and it took us a bit of effort to find and walked by it the first time. But once I did, it was absolutely worth it. The prices are unbeatable, making it perfect for students or anyone on a budget in NYC. The food leans more toward casual Korean fast food, so don't expect gourmet fare, but it's perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. The atmosphere is laid-back with plenty of seating, even for those with baby strollers. The drinks were fun and strong, adding a nice touch to the experience! However, the service had its hiccups. They accidentally gave a few of our dishes to another table, and when things got busier, the main lights were dimmed, which threw off the vibe a bit. To top it off, we were almost overcharged by over $100. They had a deal where you buy 2 or 3 dishes and get 1 free, but they charged us for all the dishes--and even tacked on an extra soju bottle, even though the server had promised it as compensation for the delay. They also said we would get a discount if we paid in cash but forgot to include it in our final bill. Despite the miscommunication and mishaps, the staff was friendly and accommodating--they just seemed overwhelmed when it got busy. Overall, I'd give it another shot the next time I'm in NYC!

Okay future Rae - you ate here on a Tuesday and made reservations even though it wasn't necessary on the weekday. Yes it's trendy and nicely placed on the second floor but I mean - the prices and food were not matched. We ordered the spicy kimchi stew, pork belly (bossam), seaweed rice rolls, shishito peppers, and a side of kimchi. I was kinda shocked that their banchan (just the kimchi) was a chargeable item. Maybe I was expecting a different vibe. I felt like the food itself was okay - a little expensive for what it was and I still felt hungry after we left. The service and atmosphere was fun and cool but for the food? I think I'd check somewhere else for future outings!

This place is located in ktown. I came after work and they weren't too busy so we got seated pretty quickly. The staff was efficient and nice. This seemed like a fun and casual place to hang out after work. We ordered the pork belly, corn cheese, cheese spicy chicken tteokbokki as part of a special they are running where you order 2 entrees and get a free appetizer. The pork belly was cooked perfectly with a crispy sear but was still juicy and tender. The corn cheese was a classic appetizer that you can't go wrong with. The cheese spicy chicken tteokbokki was cheesy, flavorful and a wonderful choice! I would def recommend trying this place out!

This place was cool. It's located in Koreatown in New York City. We made reservations for 6 o'clock and it was a little empty but 30 minutes after the place was crowded. The service was great. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing if you're into Korean food this is the place.

They have a fun deal here where if you get 2 entrees, you get a side dish for free! We got the royal soup, spicy pork, and bulgogi fries. We would skip the fries next time. Its also a bit hard to find, make sure you go up the stairs! My friend and I sat down at the wrong restaurant at first.

We love Anytime Kitchen! The location feels like an (open) secret, which starts your meal with the same sort of illicit vibe that you get when you go into a modern speakeasy. The restaurant is three floors up from the street, and you get in by climbing a narrow staircase that begins past the endless line for Wonjo. You have a reservation upstairs, so no waiting in that nonsense. Once you get inside, you're in a super fun Korean Anju spot. Order some Soju and scan for the menu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Over several visits, we tried the Truffle Jjajang Ramyun Noodles, the Super Creamy Tteokbokki, Bulgogi Fries, Popcorn Chicken, and a Pork Shoulder BBQ which were all fantastic. The Kimchi Okonomiyaki was delicious, the Kimchi Cream Ramyun Noodles were creamy and a little spicy and then more Soju! Service has been quite good, considering how busy Anytime Kitchen is. It didn't seem to matter if we were at a two top or at one of the bigger group tables in the back of the room, the food came out quickly and we never felt rushed. I could see this place also being great for a private party.

This is such a fun place to be. Located in K-town, once you get to the address, walk upstairs/follow the signs It gets real crowded as soon as they open. Lively atmosphere, efficient and friendly service, taste dishes, reasonable prices. We love all of their cheese dishes & yummy eel , tasty rice ball appetizer. & they have zero sugar soju Highly recommended by @WineDinenVacay

4 stars for the food. 1 star for the service. Casual place on the 3rd floor in Ktown. We came on an early Friday night when it wasn't very busy. We started off with a bottle of peach makgeolli and this is where it all went wrong. 20 minutes after ordering when our food was arriving, our drink hadn't arrived yet and we had to ask for it. Someone went to get it and gave it to the table next to us instead of us. We finally got it and it wasn't cold. We asked for a cold one and the waitress just disappeared with it. We started eating and were about halfway through our meal, and our drink still wasn't back. The waitress said they were making it cold and went to get it for us. We weren't sure how they were going to make it cold in 10 minutes... and no surprise it didn't get cold in 10 minutes. So we asked for some ice, and we got pushback because she said the drink was cold! We basically had to demand for ice, and we're finally able to get it. Very frustrating when all we wanted was a cold drink to go with our food. On the other hand, the food was great, the octopus and pork belly stir fry was nicely seasoned and the Kimchi jigae broth was flavorful. The fried pork Kalbi was a bit bready and just seemed to be some edges of meat that were battered to cover what was actually under it. It was free because of the 2 for 1 promotion they have going on now, but I'm not sure I would get it for $28.

This place is so much fun and one of my favorites in ktown :) It's like a hidden gem, and serves some delicious and flavorful tapas. This place has soo many vegetarian options and something for everyone. I used to order the creamy udon but decided to switch it up and try the tteokbokki and the veggie japchae and it was next level amazing. The tteokbokki was SOO flavorful and cheesy and sweet. The noodles were round and squishy. The veggie japchae noodles were wide and chewy and seasoned so well. Definitely check this place out!

Anytime Kitchen is great and deserves all the praise it gets. They offer a great pick 2 get 1 free option and do not skimp on the portions. My cousin and I got the cheese spicy chicken tteokbokki, unagi teriyaki, and bulgogi fries. Everything was great but my personal favorite was the bulgogi fries. The service was also attentive without being overbearing. All in all, I would be back.

10/10 this is one of the places I am dying to eat at every time I visit. The bulgogi bowl is my go to. Everyone I've brought here has loved it as much as I have. I think about it while I'm away, I'm looking forward to trying more dishes. And everyone is so nice there, great service, ILY! Ps. The kimchi is delicious. A small addition to a meal but notable. Where do you get this delicious kimchi, Anytime?! Thank you x

First impressions of the place is that you go to eat and have a good time. The aesthetic of the venue is casual. You can come with a group of friends to enjoy good food and drinks. My friend and I came when it opened (would recommend getting a reservation) and had the Super Creamy Tteokbokki and Truffle Jajangmyeon. Both were reasonably priced and tasted as described. You can reserve via Resy or Yelp and they seem to have updated their menu. Try at least once for a taste of relaxing Korean food.

Made a reservation for a party of 7+2 kids at 6:30pm You can easily miss this place if you aren't paying close attention to the signs up to the third floor After a struggle of getting two strollers squished in a small elevator up to the third floor we were seated right away First thought was this place had a good vibe with K-pop music blasting and fun decor Food was incredible with everything full of flavor and having our mouth watering What we ordered: Pork Kalbi Bbq Cod Roe Cream Tteokbokki Stir Fried Squid & Thin Sliced Pork Belly Pork Belly Bbq Popcorn Chicken Cheese Corn Our favorite hands down the Pork Belly Bbq Overall great place for Korean food would definitely come back again. Service was attentive although the Cod Roe Cream Tteobokki was given to a different table and was forgotten, they made up for it by giving us a bottle of soju on the house. So I'll be nice and not deduct a star for that.

Came here for a late night meal with my friends and found the food to be delicious and filling. We ordered the 2+1 special - order two "main dishes" and you get 1 appetizer for free. Unfortunately I have to knock off three stars for the absolute abysmal service and attitude that we got from one of the service staff. I saw two of the window tables open up and asked him if we could switch there, but he asked me if I had a reservation and when I said I didn't, he rudely brushed me off. I then asked the server next to him and she said yeah it was fine to move to the window table. Later, we placed order for alcohol and had to WALK UP TO HIM multiple times to ask him where our alcohol was. People around us were getting their alcohol and even tables that had just arrived. Eventually (40 minutes later), he brought it out to us, but I think that was because the manager was there. So the moral of the story is if you get that dude as your server, don't accidentally piss him off somehow or he'll retaliate.

This place was a bit difficult to find, but it is so worth it. The food is delicious and in small portions that make you want to order seconds. Both my friend and I ordered the lychee cocktail. He wanted vodka in his, which was a $3 extra charge. When the waiter came over with our order, he said "this one has no alcohol." We thought he meant as in there is no vodka in mine, but it was apparently made virgin. It definitely did not taste like there was any soju in it at all, but it was still delicious.

It's in a K-town, 3rd floor of a building. You have to climb up 3 floors before you get there. It's worth a little exercise. They have a small menu for lunch, but I don't know if dinner time they have a large menu. I tried a combo dish with 2 different proteins (beep and fried pork (Katu) on the rice and another dish with shrimp tempura on the rice. They are delicious and perfect portions. The price was also decent. Not too expensive. I recommend that anyone check this place out if they are in Korean Town. I will return. The service was great, too. It was not too busy, so we got a table by the window without waiting on Saturday afternoon; we arrived around 11:45 am.

The entrance of Anytime Kitchen is somewhat sketchy and there was a sign warning customers to beware of scammers who were charging an entrance fee to get to the restaurant and karaoke spot. The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor and the door is easy to miss (no sign). It also slams really loud and it is quite annoying if you sit near it. First impression of the restaurant was not so great. Despite the exterior not being the safest, the inside of the restaurant feels very welcoming and has views of the bustling Ktown. Anytime Kitchen is more of a casual Korean restaurant that offers comfort dishes. Popcorn Chicken - A very delicious appetizer. The chicken was crispy and coated with sweetened gochujang sauce. Bulgogi Dupbop - It came with an abundance of beef, glass noodles, mushrooms and peppers. My favorite was the dough balls which were chewy and soaked up the broth. The broth was more on the sweet side. The portion was good for two people. Somaek - This is a Korean drink with beer and soju. I only tasted the beer. The waitress thought I said tteokbokki soup instead of bulgogi. At first, we didn't realize the mistake so we tried the tteokbokki and it was so flavorful and spicy. The waitress was very friendly and replaced the teokbokki with the bulgogi. However, I saw her throw out the whole pot which was such a waste. I would recommend this restaurant for a fun and casual meal with friends!

Came here after work and was seated right away, we had a party of 3. They currently have their summer specials (order 2, get 1 free) so that's what my friends and I did. We ordered: - Popcorn chicken: really good, tender, and flavorful. - Korean Army Stew: very nourishing and filling. Tasty and also had beans on the bottom. - Stirfry squid and pork belly: super flavorful as well but better with rice - Mango Aloe Makgeolli Slushy: Very refreshing especially with the hot weather and not a strong alcohol taste. Overall, super good dishes which such a good deal going on. Definitely worth checking out. Staff was attentive and made sure we got everything we needed.

Anytime Kitchen in NYC is a hidden gem for anyone craving quick and affordable Korean food. Quite literally hidden! Located on the third floor inside a building, it took me a while to find it. But once I did, it was worth the search. The prices are unbeatable, making it an ideal spot for students on a budget. The food is decent, more in line with Korean fast food, so don't go in expecting gourmet dishes. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, with plenty of seating available. It's a great go-to spot for students looking for a quick, satisfying meal without breaking the your wallet. If you can find it, it's definitely worth a visit!

A lil expensive overall because you want it to be a bunch of shareable dishes but really tasty, freshly made, served hot foods. The bulgogi fries I recommend along with the cream popcorn chicken --that's a definite one. My favs! We had medium service. They were attentive in many ways. A little hard to hear how quiet our server was. Also took 10 min to get the check after requested.

One of my favorite pochas and karaoke spots tucked into the heart of NYC Koreatown -- the energy here is fun and it's great for groups. You have to follow the signs to go upstairs, and they have karaoke rooms one floor further up. It gets busy, so snag a reservation in advance. They have plenty of vegetarian and pescatarian options too. I recommend getting food to share and (of course) bottles of soju -- personal favorites are the Creamy Ttebokki, Corn Cheese and Truffle Fries.

Fun spot with fusion foods - lots of cheese lol. Not super authentic Korean food but fun. Wish there were more authentic food and flavors. Service is average but atmosphere is fun. Buy 3 get 1 free drinks are fun. Popcorn chicken was a favorite. Portions are small.

This spot is truly something special, offering an entirely fresh and innovative approach to combining Korean and American flavors. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't your typical dining experience. One of the highlights for me was the self-cooking KBBQ--it's not just about the food, it's about the experience. There's something so fun and engaging about grilling your own meats right at the table while you catch up with friends. It really makes the meal feel interactive and memorable. We also had the chance to try a variety of their fusion tapas, and each dish exceeded expectations. Every plate was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing a perfect blend of bold flavors and unique ingredients. You can tell the chef is really passionate about balancing tradition with creativity. And let's talk about the drinks--wow! The premium soju cocktails are definitely one of the standouts here. They aren't just your typical cocktails; they're elevated in a way that makes the drinking experience just as exciting as the food. Each drink was expertly crafted with a perfect balance of smoothness and kick. But the real star for me was the Ko-Merican burger. This burger is a fusion masterpiece--combining the best of American comfort food with Korean twists that make it absolutely unforgettable. The flavors are so unique, and the patty itself is perfectly juicy and full of flavor. Overall, everything about this place is a testament to how food culture can evolve and adapt in creative, exciting ways. It's a wonderful mix of flavors, fun, and innovation that sets it apart from anything else in the area. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying even more of their menu items!

On the very busy 23 W 32nd street, Anytime Kitchen is on the 3rd floor and Anytime Karaoke is on the 4th floor. When you enter the building, you walk up the stairs. The door for Anytime Kitchen kinda camouflages with the wall so it can be missed. My friends and I came here on a Friday evening around 5:30pm and we were seated right away. It got crowded soon after. Happy hour is not available on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays. We ordered the popcorn tofu, truffle fries, chicken and veggie gyoza, tonkatsu (pork belly), and assorted Korean pancakes stew. The popcorn tofu has sweet and spicy glaze over the deep fried tofu and it was very good. The sauce was tangy and the tofu was fried perfectly. The truffle fries was maybe my favorite dish. It was so crispy. The 4 pieces of chicken and veggie gyoza with soy sauce had good filling and fried well. The smoked pork belly had good sauce and I enjoyed the shaved cabbage. The assorted Korean pancakes stew was kept hot on a burner and had a mix of seafood. It was very good. All the food was great for sharing. We had limited space on our tables so we needed to combine some leftovers. My friends and I had a wonderful time at Anytime Kitchen. I'm glad we arrived when we did. There is a cash discount if you pay in cash. Service was absolutely wonderful and friendly. They were very attentive. We will definitely be back.

We went to Anytime kitchen the first night in New York! Thanks for all the yelpers helping me find this place for late night snacks. We ordered their popcorn chicken with Korean soy garlic sauce, this is a bomb! You need to try them. It also comes with the mochi balls! Love the favor! Also tried their corn cheese. You can't go wrong with corn cheese for snack! And their drink - Maksa! It's a rice wine with spite. I tried the peach favor. Wow I think this becomes my favorite drink other than Soju. They also have many other drinks on the menu, particularly Soju! Many favors! Love love love! I really like this place as it's very welcoming, relax and chill. You know what it means after a long flight to New York and used their subway system. :P The staff are friendly and helpful. Place is clean and good atmosphere for hanging out! Oh reasonable price too! This place also opened late! And it's located on the 3rd floor so make sure you follow the sign and just open the door! It's right there (without the sign!)

The food at Anytime was great! We went right when they opened and wow, we were lucky because we're the last ones let in before they started letting others. They also take reservations so you can also book in advance. We started with the chicken and veggie gyoza which was pretty delicious. One thing though I noticed after eating there and looking at their menu, they have a happy hour special for 1+1 which we should have gotten with the gyoza, but our waiter didn't tell us about it. Additionally, we had the sweet and spicy chicken (cheese buldak). Food was good, but I think they could have given more quantity for this dish for the price. The kimchi sauce okonomiyaki was interesting - it was a true fushion dish of kind of like Jeon, but didn't have the thickness of Jeon. I think one thing they could do to improve this dish is cut it into pieces so that it is easier for those dining to eat and share with each other. The blue crab fish cake hotpot was absolutely worth it and delicious! They gave us free white rice on the side for happy hour which was great.

Review for delivery- Ordered in a Bulgogi cupbop. Decent portions and flavor that was a satisfying lunch option. The Kimchi was good and I liked the drizzle of sauce over the top of the bowl. Delivery was fast. Food was well priced. I'd still really like to try their popcorn chicken as I've read that's a big hit.

We ordered the pork kalbi stew, unagi, grilled mackerel, and stir fried pork belly and squid. All the dishes were so delicious! If you like your Korean food on the sweeter side then this is the spot you've been looking for. You'll need to climb 3 flights of stairs to get here but it's def worth it. Individual rice and kimchi side dish is an extra $1 each. And sadly no other side dishes available or included. I live in Cali and just visiting but Korean restaurants in Cali give you free side dishes. Maybe it's a NYC thing? The economy? Idk but otherwise this food is so freakin good. 10/10 would come again.
