“God, that’s f***k’in awesome. If I had only one night in New York these days, I’d probably come here.” – Anthony Bourdain.
Well said Tony, we agree. This small, Japanese-Korean-style BBQ joint is hands down one of our favorite restaurants ever. FOR-EV-ER. Raised in Japan, Korean Chef Takashi excels at delivering beautifully marinated, insanely flavorful, high quality cuts of meat, which are then sizzled on your own tabletop grill. The tender kobe short rib slivers melt in your mouth, while the more adventurous beef cheek, tongue or belly slices will catapult you into epicurean heaven. It’s a place. The flavors are superb and the quality of the meat is unmatched.
Start with their famous Niku-Uni or delectable steak tartare and pair everything with an always refreshing Orion beer. Late night on the weekends, they serve THE best ramen in the city. It’s reason alone to risk being ‘hangry’ for a few hours to save room for the 11:30pm bowl of noodles.
GET THE: Kobi Kalbi Short Ribs, Steak Tartare, Grandmom’s Steamed Beef Shank Buns, the Shio-Tan (beef tongue) cut, the belly cut, and definitely the ramen on weekend nights.
