“ The food is always so good. With great friendly service. All in a hipster cool vibe. I definitely recommend coming here for lunch and the Suchi burrito ($28) ! Follow me for more incredible food experiences insta : @noodlesoupr ”
“ Unbelievable deal for lunch! I got the sushi lunch special- it came with 5 open faced rolls, tempura, broth, and a salad. Everything was delicious and I am still in awe of how much good food you can get for only $25! Will definitely be back! Service was quick and attentive. Definitely recommend ”
“ I had just finished attending a conference and was finally free to hang out with one of my best friends who lives in the city. She recommended this place for the good vibes and the good drinks. Our bartender recommended I get the Rose Queen because I asked for something sweet. I loved that the rosemary was torched and still lit when it was served to me. I come from a family of people who love rosemary. My drink was delicious and it was a nice start to great evening. ”
“ Super cute k bbq place in union square. Went during the holidays and it was completely decked out with holiday decor. If you book a reservation in advance, they let you spin a wheel to win a prize. I absolutely loved the japchae and seasonal drinks. Would go back again. ”
“ Having tried their other branch on 35th street before, I wanted to come back to this location to try out some other items on their menu. We ordered the tteok & cheese and Fisherman's soup. Tteok & cheese (4/5): great flavor and the tteok was nicely chewy. It also comes with a few slices of bread that you can use to dip into the cheese afterwards. Fisherman's soup (5/5): features a variety of seafood simmered in beef broth with thin cut noodles. Flavor is on point and there's a good amount of seafood. There's plenty of seating inside, but I'd still recommend making a reservation if you are planning on coming here on busy nights as the place can get filled quickly. ”
“ A lively (and surprisingly large) spot tucked right into Union Square area -- they serve up great Korean bar food. Most things are either fried or cheesy, so would make note if that's not what you're in the mood for. The Tofu and Mac and Cheese were delicious, Seafood Udon was alright. Pro tip: make a reservation so you can spin the wheel for a prize. We won a free beer! ”
“ Big bar/restaurant in the heart of Union Square. It's a good place to meet people for drinks and snacks - Happy Hour is from 4-7 I believe. Lunch deals are good value, the portions are huge. They have two sorts - one that's more Americanized with burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, etc, and the other that's more of a Korean lunch set. The food is excellent but less authentic than in Korea Town and I think it's a good introduction to the flavors of Korean cuisine. The servers are friendly, and the decor is nice. However, they still have plexiglass dividers between tables that they installed post-pandemic, which I don't mind, but it is a bit odd. It is a good spot if you find yourself in Union Square, great for larger groups and there's also a Korean BBQ setup upstairs which I haven't tried yet. ”
