Gin Korean BBQ Restaurant

The other reviews being left was false. They do not secretly charge you tip. They literally show you the amount. Otherwise, the food was amazing. The banchan was delicious, the mac n cheese was new. It didn’t looked that appealing. The short ribs were delicious

Very authentic food, very generous portions, delicious! Very happy my wife and I came here and left very full after just the first round of 3 meats.

Great experience! Only place of it's kind we've ever experienced in Louisiana. We drove 3 hours to get here and we're not disappointed at all! I would definitely recommend trying it out for yourself. 😁🍚🥢

You better show up hungry. This place is excellent and has exceptional service. I've lived in Korea on two occasions and if that is what you are expecting, go to Korea. But, if you want good food go here.

Way overpriced. Waiter seemed to be ok but turned out to be slow and shady. Restaurant is an interesting concept on the surface but inefficiency of the waiter made the experience more notable for what was bad than what was good. When you sit down you have to scan the rules on your phone. The bring meats to your table and a grill is part of the table. You have 2 hours to cook and eat your meals but are limited to the pace and the attentiveness of the waiter. I had my family (4 adults and a 10 year old). We all had water. I interacted with the waiter. He brought what I asked for. Most things required a substantial wait because he was serving multiple tables. Here's the shady part. The waiter added an 18% charge to my bill because he "served" 5 people. THAT WASN'T IN THE RULES. Our bill was almost $200.00. I seriously don't recommend it at that price point. ($35 for each adult and $15 for children under 10). It is an interesting concept but, hustle not withstanding, underwhelming and forgettable.

What a great place to enjoy kbbq! I was pleasantly surprised by the clean atmosphere and great electronic music. The food was just incredible. I had the all you can eat for $35 deal and I couldn't be happier. All of the meat was juicy and succulent and salad was crisp and refreshing. Korean bbq is always a fun time, it's a meal and an experience. There are few places I would rather visit for this than Gin!

Been awesome everything we've gone so far. We get all the trimmings and the beef bulgolgi. The trick is to not over cook the meat, but even if you do... it will be ok.

Nice place, a bit overpriced and paced to keep profits high, but overall good food and pleasant experience. I'd definitely visit again next time im in town.

Food is delicious and the atmosphere is a vibe. Music selection is on point, not to mention the great service amtasty bulgogi. We'll definitely be back, thank you so much Nari!

Coming from NY where Korean BBQs are all over and great, this place is a poor substitute. The meat comes in small servings, which is fine but if you have to wait for rice, lettuce and the next batch of meat. It's irritating. We asked for lettuce 3 times and we were told, we can't have anymore. WOW, it's LETTUCE and NOT even the right lettuce. Red leaf is what real KBBQs serve. The Japchae is al dente LOL, it's not Italian! I asked for gochujang and ssamjang, the waiter gave me gochujang and said, we only have ssamjang FUNNY! The banchan are not tasty Eh! The ambiance is fine, a little gloomy in the back. It's really the service that sucks and the waiter presents you the electronic bill and asks for a good tip. I gave 20% but Not going back. Overall it's only 2 1/2 stars.

It's our first time at Gangnam Korean BBQ with a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) on a Saturday evening and overall the food, service, and ambiance was a solid OK at 3 stars. Dinner is at 34.95 for adults and since there were 4 kids they said we could only have one grill to cook (which is fine I guess), 4 year old kids and under are free. From the meat selection, my favorite was the galbi. The meat selection was decent, but I've had better elsewhere. The sides (not pictured) as we dug in them were pretty good my fave were the pickled carrots and the macaroni with apples (that was different). Overall a solid 3 if you're looking for a kbbq place in Metairie area. Service was ok... I felt like it could be better.

A surprisingly authentic Korean BBQ grilling experience from the self-help service buttons to the meat scissors. Our dining experience here was amazing--the grilled meats were tender and juicy cuts that left us happy and full to our stomachs. We ordered an assortment of both chicken and beef, but our favorite cuts were the short rib and sliced brisket. The dark meat spicy chicken was also a yummy selection. For KBBQ, I definitely recommend ordering a side of "ssamjang" (or soybean paste) and lettuce to wrap the meat in--the paste will give the meat an extra boost of flavor and the lettuce will cut through some of the fat. 7/10 a great bbq night with all your friends^^

I've been here twice and I really like it. It is the only Korean BBQ place in the area and they have all you can eat like most KBBQ places. I really like the beef bulgogi and marinated skirt steak. I'm not a huge fan of pork belly but my brother really likes it!! They don't have a ton of side options from the menu but I like the corn cheese and they give you lots of pickled sides and kimchi and stuff. The employees were super nice and the ambiance of the restaurant is great! Don't hit your knee on the grill under the table like me because it hurts so badly!!!

All you can eat Korean barbecue. Everything is delicious! Service was great! It was about $25 a person on the weekend. One of my favorite spots in Metairie.

Thank you Nari for dealing with me and my unhinged friendz. Your service was immaculate and the food was delish.

Shout-out to Rico for the experience. Food was delicious !! Definitely will be back!!¡!!

Sadly we went right before closing but still had time to eat our fill. The service was so great and speedy. Wasn't a fan of the cheesey corn but the pork belly was great. The kimchi was spicy so was the cucumber.

Korean BBQ is a unique and fun dining experience. Gangnam didn't disappoint on Tuesday night. The format of cooking your own meal requires some "work", but thankfully my nephews were up to the task. I liked the simplicity of the all-you-can-eat pricing. We ordered a variety of items including the tradition side dishes (banchan), salad, wings, and the Korean prepared meats. My favorite banchan items were the kim chee and the fish cakes. Very tasty. The chicken wings (cooked) were excellent; a sweet and spicy glaze. Of the meats, my favorites were the marinated pork belly and the LA galbi. Service was good even though them seemed understaffed. Our waiter was quick with getting our orders and he performed several grill changes without issue. The price was $35.95/person without tip, and I thought that was very reasonable.

Service was great as usual, food comes out timely, and the quality was great. I've been here a few times so if anyone wants advice, it is that you should cook fast moving from one item to the next. You should be eating as the next item is getting cooked. There's like 2 hour time limit which is plentiful but implemented to prevent people abusing their stay there.

Slow service. No bar with sides or sauces. No vents for smoke. Odd color of meat. Thought it was marinade but after ordering a second round realized it may have been the actual color because it tasted very spoiled. Cheap quality meat. As in very touch "ribeye" really no marbling on the meat. "Unique" flavors to meat and somehow still bland. Not worth the money. I've been to many many ayce Korean bbq places - mainly in Texas : higher quality there for the same or even lower prices without maximums on the amounts you can order.

I've been here twice and am glad I decided to give them another try. The first experience wasn't bad, but there was nothing special about it either. The quality of the meat is decent but they could benefit from adding more seasoning overall. I do like the unlimited small plates and sides. This was my first time having sweet potato noodles and I really liked them. Gangnam is a bit pricey for what you get and they'll charge for any meat that's leftover at the end of your set time. Order wisely lol!

Service sucks, food limited and expensive. No recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good place to get all you can eat Korean BBQ. The service was very good. The chicken wings were one of my favorite things, super crispy and flavorful. The meat quality was pretty cheap. I was disappointed that we could only have a small sauce bowl for the gochujang sauce among 5 people. Overall good experience.

Delicious food great service . The Marinated steak was the best and the sides were enough .

Was an okay experience. Me and my friend went there for dinner and got seated at a very compact table. There was a tad bit of burnt food left on the grill and there was a consistant beeping noise coming from somewhere nearby our table. All in all 3/5 not the worst korean bbq I've been to but I don't think I'll be coming back soon.

For all you can eat KBBQ with soju, $45 is pretty steep for the so-so quality of the meat. There's also a limit to a) how many orders of meat you get per round, and b) bowls of ramen you can pretty much make at home. You're limited to 2 meat orders at a time, and 2 TOTAL bowls of *instant* ramen per table. We were a group of 6, so this didn't make any sense... and we weren't told that until we tried to ask for more. I liked the brisket, galbi, and cheese corn. Skip the bulgogi!

This place has a really cool atmosphere. I have had Korean barbecue before so I kind of knew what to expect but it was still nice to have our waiter who is very friendly and helpful go over things because their process is a little different here. The food was good for the most part and I enjoyed the variety and drinks. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

We eat here probably once a month. Love it! Great food and great service! Ask for Nari, she's so sweet and a great server!!

Hmmmm this is my second time, honestly I liked the first time I've been there, food was really good at first time, but second is not what I expect, but services both time were good. Just don't serve any kind of sauce anymore.

had a great time and great service. our server Nari was great! The food was really good, I will definitely be back.

This place used to be wonderful. While their rules are strict, it's upsetting to see it go downhill. Last time I went, we had a party of like 6, and we all wanted chili paste and soy sauce, and they only brought a tiny bowl of the paste, and like 6 little to go packets of soy sauce. They then said "we can only give you 6 at a time, and if you want more just keep asking" so we literally had to ask every time the waiter came to the table. They used to have bottles of soy in the table, this is obviously to cut down on cost, or maybe table set up time, but it's ridiculous to have to open tiny little packets of sauce to get enough to dip food in. The price has gone up, and that's ok, but they are always so busy it's not like the demand isn't there, and lastly, the rule for 2 or more to eat there is RIDICULOUS!!! I used to come here every two weeks with a friend, and now we really just don't mind not going. This is the downfall of a business that is enjoyable to a business that just wants to make money.

First time going here and the food was pretty average for a Korean BBQ restaurant. Pros: Customer service was good. Whenever I needed something there was a bell you can press and your server was there within seconds. The waiter was very informative about the ordering process since it was my first time dining there. Their menu policy is pretty strict when ordering. First round you get to choose 3 meats from the menu. Second round then you choose 2 meats. Cons: Certain side dish had a limit for ordering. For example, a side of lettuce you can only order 2 plates, which is kind of silly considering it's all you can eat restaurant.

Dinner at Gangnam was quite the experience! It's just something about going to a restaurant and cooking your own food! I loved the beef brisket, steak, shrimp, squid, glass noodles, and fish cakes. Had some delicious Plum Soju to make the experience authentic. There was K Dramas playing on the Tv and a nice top 40 pop mix. Wait staff was extra friendly and all around amazing. I would highly recommend this place.

After watching multiple YouTube Videos of people eating Korean BBQ in Korea, I research the availability of Korean BBQ in New Orleans and this was my option. I am pleased to say that the restaurant is run by a Korean couple. She makes the Kinchi- and I now say that kimchi is as good as described on YouTube! I admit, I am at a point in my life where I am not willing to eat Cabbage because it tastes nasty and makes my digestive system not happy- it produces bloating. But, not made with the pepper sauce and fermented. It is tender, does not taste like cabbage and it made my digestive system happy! She prepares the dumplings and the 8 dishes served with the items to be cooked on the BBQ metal plate heated by a ring of natural gas. Those sides include the cabbage and radish kimchi- I asked for more and was brought a larger bowl- which was empty by the time we left- my daughter tried it and loved it too, particularly the radish in the kimchi. There was also a dish of seedless cucumber half slices prepared as Kim chi, thin slices of fish cakes, two types of raw radishes- sticks of white radish with at hung sticks raw carrot & thinly sliced- obviously a mandolin was used- of pink radish, both were perfect with the grilled and perfectly charred on the edges nicely marinated and. on edges and then I cut them into bite sized pieces, along with the bulgogi marinated beef and pork cut in super thin pieces of fatty beef and pork- both nicely fatty. It is all you can eat in 2 hours. Minimum of 2 people per table that normally seats 6. Beverage and appetizers are ordered first. You are shown the drawer at the edge of the table. It has a nice supply of clean Spoons and butter knives When the hot appetizers are brought to the table andd you are shown t, The marinade and the way the meats are cut are done by the husband.

The food quantity was good, but the meats were all bland. They don't have many sauces like other kbbq do. They have all you can eat and the first round of meats were able to take to-go if you can't finish it. We had to ask them come replace our grill grate because it was burnt. They have a call button so it wasn't that big of a deal. Everything was incredibly expensive, which is fine for dinner, but the quality was not good, and they don't have much selection.

Minimum 2 people to a grill. So I can't come by myself. If I do I can only order off the togo menu. Crazy Hot Pot has Korean BBQ now. And it's way better than this bullcrap.

Come knowing what you want ! I still go brisket and pork belly and we finish with an order of the noodle soup. Be sure to order veggies, ask for plenty of garlic. Service has been great I've been 3 times over the past year and I'm from out of state (unbeknownst to the staff, so s/o to them)

Pretty good KBBQ. Currently, due to Covid19, they only offer walk-ins, no reservations. Customer service: 2.5/5 Our daughter was sleeping in my husband's arms and I asked for a booth. We ended up with a regular table. I get it, it's almost rush hour, at 6:45PM so save the booths for larger party. Husband had to hold our daughter the entire time we dine until she woke up. I'm not sure how many booths they have at the restaurant, but there's at least 3 booths with no customers, but they were not cleaned yet. We were willing to wait for a table while they clean, yet we got a regular table. Service was alright: 2.5/5 Server didn't seem too interested in serving us, other staffs were nicer to us. Not sure if we were suppose to ask for a grill change, but we had the same grill the entire time. It's a 2-hour all you can eat KBBQ. One staff asked us if we needed a grill change when we were both completely full. The grill was completely black. It's literally our first time at this location and she didn't pay much attention to us. Food: 4/5 The one thing we appreciate was it tasted pretty good. We didn't order much, compared to what we generally would have at any AYCE KBBQ. We're a fan of plain pork belly and plain brisket. We do like their marinated meats. One thing that I tried which I never get at any KBBQ was baby octopus. Tried it and already knew this is why I never get it at any KBBQ. Not worth it. The cheese corn was pretty good. My daughter loves it. The corn is sweet and the portion size is great, 2 aluminum trays each time we order. The jap chae tasted okay, we make jap chae at home, so we didn't care so much for it. We didn't order the spicy chicken wing, since it's spicy. I don't like super spicy food. Atmosphere: 3.5/5 The interior design is pretty, but a bit distracting. The blue light makes it hard to tell if the meat is fully cooked. They play American songs and that's one thing I'm not used to when having KBBQ. I would have prefer KPOP. Not sure if they change music on certain days, but we went on a Saturday. Parking: 4/5 They have their own parking lot with lots of spaces. But you have to drive over an elevated curb. Be careful if you have a low front car. TLDR: good food, average customer service, good parking lot, pretty interior, no KPOP

Came here at around 4 with my boyfriend and was seated by the host, but wasn't served by anyone. And two tables after us were served before we just left. Don't recommend this place.

Notes: 1) went twice, recently and before then 2) mask mandated (or 1 dollar at the door) Pros: 1) good food 2) decent service Cons: 1) time limit 2) restrictions on food quantity Total: 4/5 I can say that I can't complain about Gangnam. Each time that I go, they always do us right with the food quality and the service has been good. Our waters would get filled on rare occasion which can be bad for those that drink lots of water. The atmosphere is interesting as there are tons of televisions with random YouTube videos of either Kpop stars or a random kids channel. It's not what I would go for but it can work for some people. The quality of the meats was good. There are some things on the menu that are not that well prepared such as the cheese corn and also the salad. The kimchi soup was good. The cheese corn seems a little bland. The salad had a sauce on it but it was nothing impressive. For the price, it's a decent deal. The lunch price that I went to was more worth it, in my opinion.

*first and only experience with this type of dining but I was satisfied.* Definitely come in a group going here. It's a great way to combine a fun activity and a dinner. The service here is good and they come regularly to come with a clean cooking surface. My favorite thing was the cheese corn. The meats we chose were delicious and well seasoned. It's neat to try different meats I wouldn't normally choose. Their glass noodles are good here as well. Everything seemed to be fresh as well. Everything is also given to you cut thin which is good so it's not a worry really if it's been cooked thoroughly. Also if you don't like spicy stuff don't be weary of trying this place none of the meats I had (some were considered spicy) were actually spicy. They were tasty though just not spicy.

Nice place for a couple's date or for a group! The sides of cheese and corn were food and the spicy wings. Nice vibe and we loved the K-Pop music

This was my first time having KBBQ, so that's a disclaimer about this whole review lol. This place is incredibly stylish and clean inside. They really make it a cool atmosphere with the music and futuristic styled furniture. There was barely anyone there and they had one empty table in between each full table. The employees stayed masked the whole time. When they brought out the appetizer plates I was so impressed! I had never had fish cake before but I was scarfing it down. The kimchi and daikon were pretty good. The marinated radishes were another thing I kept ordering and reordering. I was shocked to see a tiny plate of potato salad meant to be eaten with chopsticks. I had never eaten potato salad with chopsticks before and didn't know it was Korean food. It was very good potato salad! It's all you can eat but really if you were to eat more meat than they served you in the first round you might be crazy! They really throw down a massive portion of everything you order. Maybe try asking for half sizes so you can try more things. The pork bulgolgi and steak was pretty good, but I was really all about the short rib. The pork bulgogi was the softest pork I've ever had, but I wasn't a fan of the flavors. My friends were though. The short rib though... it was like a different meat experience. It was so soaked with delicious juice and it felt velvety to the touch. I dunno how to really even describe it. My friends got octopus which I wasn't a fan of, but they liked it. It's cool to see whole baby octopus. Not for the faint of heart! The ramen side and the corn side were shockingly low quality in comparison to all the other sides. They're just silly! Don't order them. The wings though..... wow. I'm a huge fan of sticky sweet sauce on meat and this just really hit that spot. It's UNLIMITED STICKY WINGS. I ate like eight of them but I could have gone there just for the wings really. The glass noodles were very good and had a good sauce that I had never tasted before. We also ordered the yogurt soju and had two bottles. The mango was the best... strawberry is a little medicinal. It was sugar overload but I did it anyway and it was fun. If yogurt alcohol sounds bad to you, don't listen to yourself. It really tastes like a fun juice for kids that just so happens to get you a little tipsy!

They brought a receipt at the end that had 18% tip included, but then used a device to pay that already included the 18% tip in the total and then asked for additional tip on top of that. Be aware that you don't get rushed into tipping extra. Service was chaotic the entire night and had to be constantly reminded about missing orders. The food was ok, but there are much better options for asian BBQ in the New Orleans area (Little Korea, Gyu-Kaku)

IKYFL. This is one of the worst all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ locations I've ever been to. First, they have so many restrictions on what you can order and how you can order it. They limit the amount of meat you can order, which doesn't make sense if you are making people pay an extra $15 for left over food. Let me eat my GALBI. Please and thank you. SMH. Second, they don't even offer a full selection of meat or side dishes. It's very sad. For someone who has never been, it might be okay, but for someone like me..... this was a huge disappointment. They don't even have all the sauces, or rice papers..... I just... I just can't. Won't be back, won't recommend, and won't comment any further.

This place was so tasty and so much fun! A perfect spot for a date! It's perfect because you get food (all you can eat for 2 hours) and an activity. Very fun. The food was fantastic too. Our server was really great. He was knowledgeable and happily gave us his recommendations. He told us cooking times for every meat and walked us through the process patiently since we had never been there before. My recommendation is to skip the chicken altogether. Takes the longest to cook and your other options are way tastier. My favorites were the beef short ribs and the marinated pork bulgogi. They also have seafood options for you pescatarians. We didn't have any of the seafood this doing but vowed we will next time! The sides were bomb. I was a big fan of the cheese & corn (I mean so simple who wouldn't be?) and the veggie glass noodles with mushrooms and onions. Yum! They have a full bar even, but we just got cokes so can't speak to the tastiness of the booze situation. Overall, we loved it. We'll definitely be back. If you've never tried Korean BBQ, this is an awesome experience. Great chance to try something new and push yourself outside of your comfort zone while making memories with your loved ones.

We went Saturday May20,2023 with our grandkids. This restaurant is horrible. Strick rules...! The manager is a ugly, mean man. He slaps your bill onto the table because YOU ONLY HAVE 2 HOURS TO EAT. The sides other than the wings were horrible bad. One bowl of rice for 6 people, we good never received after asking a few times. The wings, were good. Most people don't exactly go to KBBQ for the wings. The meats were bad and cheap cuts of meats. There are few meats that you can only get 1 time for a table of 6. Also, due to how the grilling works 6 people use 1 grill. The high price for an all you can eat restaurant id ridiculous! The ladies bathroom was broken. It was HOT, the AC is broken and with grills going it is even hotter. My granddaughter was so hot we had to go outside in 80+ degrees. It actually was cooler outside. We will never go back. My suggestion, is chose another restaurant. Don't spend your money eating there.

Place is a joke; don't go here. If you show up as just one and want to dine in, you can't. You must have a minimum of 2 people to dine in. Seriously???? Never heard of such crap! The owner needs to stop being cheap with the charcoal or just charge a surcharge if only one person. Do yourself a favor, go to a real Korean restaurant in K-town in Dallas, Atlanta, LA, etc. Don't waste your time with this wannabe Korean restaurant.

Food was decent, servers were friendly. With that being said, bring a mask or you will have to buy one for one dollar Fairly expensive, 2 hour limit. But they are pretty fast with bringing the food so you should have time to cook most of it if you aren't in too large of a party. But if you didn't know, BRISKET is the fastest to cook. Kimchi was too salty as were some of the other dishes. There is a limit on the amount of Galbi you can order in addition to the kimchi stew/soup. I'll probably come back for lunch at some point rather than pay the dinner price. Also, the server was unsure if tip was added on automatically by the machine for a party of 5... but it certainly seemed so. Keep that in mind. Parking is somewhat limited as well

Food is great and server is very punctual. Great costumer service and would highly recommend. Our server always on time Carlos is on point I'm very impressed. I would keep him in a job and give him pay raised. Big time recommend carlos if you can pick a server.

Ran out of RICE, side dishes, chicken wings, and veggie tray one hour and a half before closing? On a a weekday at that. Disappointed!

This place is really good. I'd always drive by it and was always curious if it was any good, but let me tell ya! It was pretty busy when we first got there and it took the waiter a second but it wasn't a big deal. Andre was our server and he did an awesome job. The food was good along with the soju. The KPop was also jamming up in the there so that was cool. I'd definitely go back.

This place is interesting to go if you want all you can eat Korean BBQ. Our waitress Vicky was great! She took the time out to show us what is she recommends. This place is under new management and seem to be renovated too. Kinda disappointed about the LA Galbi tho. We were limited on it. It's my favorite. The marinated pork belly was excellent that she recommended. FYI you do have to cook it yourself not like in NYC or LA where they cook it for you.

New AYCE Korean restaurant located where Gin used to be. Decided to try it out for lunch at $16.95 per adult. Pretty straight forward menu with rules to follow. Be sure to read over all the rules before ordering! One said they'll charge for unfinished food and no togo boxes for leftovers. Order accordingly. Their meat selections for lunch were mostly pork, so if you're like us who don't eat pork, your choices are limited. We ordered the marinated boneless dark meat chicken, thinly sliced beef brisket, marinated beef bulgogi, and all the sides. Chicken was basic, brisket were low quality and bulgogi were too sweet for my liking. The portion though were filling. I wonder if any couple or pair actually get to round two? Our server was friendly and attentive. They'll change your grill as needed too. One thing I didn't see them do was oil the grill before we cooked. So of course the grill became burnt fairly quickly. Overall, I wasn't super impressed. It's ok, maybe we'll give the dinner menu ($26.95) a try next time as there are many more selections to choose from. Almost forgot! They're offering 20% off your bill for the month of August as a grand opening special.

Great for meat lovers, horrible for vegetarians. Good Spicy Pork Bulgogi and Chicken Wings.

The service is terrible here and the food is quite bad quality. It's a little bit dirty for the chairs.

All you can eat Korean BBQ. Pickled cabbage, pickled radishes, pickled cucumbers. Marinated steaks. All very good. Cook it yourself at your own table BBQ grill. My favorite is the spicy pork Bulgogi. There is a 2 hour limit.

My family and I love Korean BBQ esp when we're the ones cooking it. We used to live in San Diego so we always look for places we're used to and Gangnam was on point. All you can eat Korean BBQ so worth it. It's sad that we always have to drive about 70 miles from Denham Springs because Baton Rouge don't have any. Gangnam will be our go to rather than going into the city for Korean bbq. Our waiter Dalbert was great and very helpful!! Everything on the menu was self explanatory but if you have questions the people there are friendly, we highly recommend Gangnam and we're definitely going back.
