Korean Express

I have been to this casual Korean place a handful of times for their lunch special. It is $12.95, which is very reasonable for Midtown East. This is evident from the number of people online during those hours ordering takeout or eating in person, with a line commonly forming. The special comes with one base and two dishes. The bases include various styles of rice, such as Kimchi fried rice, japchae/잡채 (or as they write jab chae,) salad, or fries. The dishes range from the standard KBBQ options like bulgogi to other dishes such as Tteok-bokki (or as they write teokboki,) dumplings, and Korean wings.

A very nice spot for a quick and tasty meal.My order was ready in about 10 minutes super convenient.The chicken was perfect:crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

the food tasted like nothing. overdone teokbokki, dry bulgogi rice, and bland kimbap. its a horrible sign when the fries are the best part of a korean meal. really put a damper on our night in nyc

Best korean lunch special you can find in Manhattan. Very generous portions of food. Tasty pork bulgogi and wings. Kimchi rice is good and that extra kimchi is so good! Very chill place, fast service!

She really thinks we don’t do groceries shopping or we don’t have common sense that we can’t differentiate types of beef. If you charged the price for beef short rib, please make sure give what we or
