Korean fried chicken, global plates & cocktails fuel patrons enjoying LP tunes & karaoke singers.
"What It Is: A casual Korean tapas spot in the East Village Perfect For: Affordable Group Dinner, Casual Weeknight Dinner, Birthdays Turntable Chicken Jazz’s East Village location has the same kind of perpetual-birthday-party feel as the original Midtown spot (think a Pitbull playlist and a wall covered in vinyl records), but with funkier Korean-ish tapas. That said, when we went to Tapanju this week, it seemed like everyone was still sharing the same chicken wings and color-changing beer towers they’re known for at their Midtown spot. And you should do the same. The food isn’t the best, but the place is an overall fun spot for your coworker’s going away dinner that you planned last-minute. The Verdict: Good to know about for an affordable East Village partytime dinner." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
"Turntable LP is the marriage of New York’s Korean fried chicken craze of the mid-2010s and noraebang, the Korean concept of private singing rooms that, stateside, is widely referred to as karaoke. The restaurant has a feel reminiscent of the popular record bars in Seoul’s Gangnam district and beyond. Fried chicken, which can be slathered in a hot and spicy sauce or a milder soy-garlic version, is a highlight of the menu." - Eater Staff
