They told you waiting time is 10-15min and then had you wait for almost two hours. Horrible services.

Every guests advised of a minimum 30mins wait at check in, and no guests waited more than one hour. While we regret if the wait caused frustration, seating guests without available tables is not possible. We kindly ask that reviews the situation accurately. Thank you for visiting Jongro.
Jongro BBQ was an incredible experience and the perfect place for my first time trying Korean food. I went with my friend, Chef Tae Lee, who insisted this was one of the most authentic spots in the city — and he was absolutely right. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant had that lively, energetic atmosphere that makes Korean BBQ so fun and communal.
We ordered one of the platters, and everything was exceptionally fresh and beautifully marbled. Cooking the food right in the middle of the table made the experience even more special — the aromas, the sizzle, and the whole interactive element made the meal feel exciting and immersive. The staff was helpful and attentive, guiding us through the process and making sure everything was cooked perfectly.
The flavors were incredible. Each cut of meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned just right, and the side dishes added so much brightness and balance to the meal. You can tell they take real pride in serving truly authentic Korean BBQ, and it shows in every bite.
For a first Korean meal, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Jongro BBQ delivered amazing food, great service, and an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and try even more dishes. Highly recommend!
Awesome K-BBQ experience in New York. I’m from La originally so my standards are high and this hit on almost all levels. Drinks were great with a wide selection of flavored sojus and beer. The meat itself was fantastic quality and taste, including a nice assortment of sauces and side dishes. Get a good bang for you buck compared to the other places in K-town and the service was fast and polite. Would definitely come back and with a good group of friends
Corn cheese and soup are Gluten Free and the pictured ban chon are GF. 3 of the 4 beef cuts on the large beef platter were GF (not the seafood pancake). The server knew exactly which items were GF and made sure I understood. So this elevates my experience over other Korean BBQ on the same street.
This place is super hip with the retro korean vibe. We used to come here quite often and liked it for the budget friendliness. However this place seems to have gotten bit more expensive and might have reduced the meat quantity. Still a good casual spot!
This place can get super busy and people lining out along the wall. Comjng bit early prior 7 helps.
