Overall this place was pretty good for kbbq. however, some of their meats are quite under seasoned. i would say the service was great. the guy that served us cooked for us and was very considerate to split our big dishes into multiple bowls so our gathering could all try. he even stood on a stool to help us take a picture with a good angle. gave us complementary japchae and orange slices which was all tasty and flavorful. overall would maybe come back if i have another gathering as food and service was better than some of the other places here.

Our experience at this restaurant was decent --- the service could definitely be improved, but other than that, the food tasted great and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. We had stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around Koreatown in search of a place for lunch. When we walked in, we weren't greeted by the friendliest person at the desk, but rather someone who seemed as confused as we were since we thought we were walking into a different restaurant. When we eventually decided to stay, we were seated and looked at the menu. When my friend had an inquiry about the different fish dishes on the menu, the waitress was extremely unhelpful. She basically reiterated exactly what was written on the menu, as if we didn't care to read it all before asking for help. The useless dialogue

Great dinner experience at New Monjo. We ordered the Korean prime rib BBQ for two, which was flavorful, tender, and fun to cook at the table. We also had the bibimbap, which was fresh and delicious. The set menu was a great experience overall, the service was attentive, and the location was perfect — an easy walking distance from our hotel in the Koreatown area. Definitely a solid spot for Korean BBQ while visiting NYC.

It is a whole experience! One of the busiest Korean barbecue places in K town. Service is good and fast! You get to try a whole bunch of things and it is quite exciting. The place is packed in the evening so definitely make a reservation. We got Prime Ribeye for 4 and it was great! Glass noodles dish was also excellent, all of us thought it was really tasty. You get an egg dish and your choice of soup with it, and of course a lot of small appetizers. Yum!

Look, K-Town is overwhelming. You walk down 32nd Street and there are a hundred people trying to shove menus in your face, tourists everywhere, and a line out the door for every single spot. It’s easy to just settle for whatever looks decent, but trust me on this: do not settle. Walk straight to Wonjo. I’ve been coming here for a while, and the reason is simple: Charcoal. Most places in the city have switched to gas grills because it’s easier/cheaper/whatever, but Wonjo still uses real charcoal, and you can taste the difference immediately. It’s not even a subtle thing. The meat gets this incredible, smoky char that you just cannot replicate on a gas grill. When you walk in and that smell hits you—that mix of smoke, garlic, and sizzling fat—you know you’re about to have a serious meal. W
