Me and my friend went to Yoon to celebrate our anniversary. It was a wonderful time! I’ve been to Yoon before and it was so nice to dine here again. The food is always spectacular and the staff are amazing. My personal favorite menu item is the Prime Package. The meat and side selections are superb and the value is totally there. We also ordered some potatoes which were delicious and came with the most flavorful sauce. For drinks I had the Matcha my Seoul and my friend had a beer; and yes we did have 2 rounds haha. They have the option of tap, still, or sparkling water. I personally prefer still so we got Acqua Panna. But if you want sparkling they will bring you S.Pellegrino. The entire meal is prepared for you by the staff which I prefer as I do not like to cook the meat by myself like at some other establishments. This makes for a very immersive experience where the staff are constantly interacting with you but in a way that almost seems effortless. This is due in part to the fact that every thing is cooked in increments and you are able to have the privacy of the dining experience as well in between cooking times. May I also add that all of the staff walk around with tide pens in their little pockets on their aprons and it has to be one of the cutest and most mindful things I’ve ever seen for a restaurant wait staff. I literally dropped kimchi on my cream sweater and my server handed me a tide pen to clean it up. My shirt looked as if nothing was on it after she saved me from my red stained kimchi mess haha. Lastly, as a surprise, they brought out a very delicious dessert with a candle in it to celebrate our anniversary. I believe the dessert consisted of shaved ice with a cinnamon syrup and some tasty garnishes. It was very sweet of them. I will be going back again and again. Some of the pictures are from my first dining here back in June and then the most recent visit was so good I only got one picture! Ultimately I highly recommend going to Yoon whenever you are in NYC this restaurant is right in the heart of the city and belongs on anyone’s top 5 list!

I ate here recently for the first time for lunch with a business colleague and we had so much fun. The food is yummy. Some of the best Korean BBQ I have had in NYC. The dishes were well done and the beef was melt in your mouth soft and so juicy and tender. I don’t know all the dishes we tried but I highly recommend and want to go back soon for dinner soon.

It was a bit disappointing, which was a shame because I really wanted to like it. We ordered the full set for two, including kimchi stew and a potato pancake. With the side dishes, every dish was unfortunately quite mediocre, and the BBQ was a bit tough. The highlight was definitely the servers—their service was fantastic. The ambiance was also nice, but overall, I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.

This was a good korean bbq experience. Loved the dry aged short rib. The rest of the meat was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Jap che was pretty good! Service was nice and attentive and we had a great time as a table of 8. Good korean bbq, and ok-ish price for quality of food

The service is absolutely top-notch, and the food is just as amazing! I’m Korean, I’ve been missing authentic Korean flavors and sauces so much, and Yoon Haeundae Galbi truly delivers. All the side dishes and the Korean BBQ taste perfect for both Koreans and foreigners!! Pro tip: After finishing your meat, you must order the potato noodles — they’re unbelievably delicious! Also, it’s a halal-friendly restaurant with only beef, no pork Highly, highly recommended!

This place was highly recommended to me since I love Korean barbecue. The wait was not too long since someone I know has direct connection with the owner. The ambiance is modern and high end with two levels of seating. The service they provided was one of the best I have ever been served and the food and quality was out of this world. All the meats and cuts they offer is top of the line and carefully maintained. The drinks they make were very good and worth it. Yes this place can be pricey, but I was taught if the food is great the price don’t matter. I highly recommend this place for all the Korean barbecue fanatics and to anyone looking for great food and time. I definitely will be back since I’m addicted already!

Lovely experience at Yoon Haeundae Galbi from start to finish. Reservations were made easily on Resy. The restaurant had issues with the grills the night we went but they had great communication before and throughout our meal. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. They have a yuzu ade that is nice and refreshing. The Wagyu Kimchi Fried Rice was made with wagyu, egg, mozzarella cheese, and scallion. Cooked beautifully with mouth watering wagyu and a great cheese pull. The Pork Kimchi Stew had pork belly, tofu, and enoki mushrooms. A comforting and belly warming meal. There were also two dessert options and we went with the Chochung U-gua Gelato. It was topped with honey caviar, a rice cracker, rice syrup, and sesame. Will be back to try their grilled meats next time for sure. Recommend stopping in if you’re in the mood for some good eats and lovely staff. Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept. Seating is very comfortable indoors.
