Since 1981, this K-town restaurant has served up authentic cuisine for those craving galbi or bulgogi like you'd find in Seoul.

  1. Woo Chon is the best Korean food I've had in New York City and I've eaten my way through many Manhattan Korean restuarants.
  2. The bulgogi (marinated chargrilled BBQ beef) here is the best.
  3. And the food is great
  4. The clientele is often mainly non-Korean, which is a surprising but refreshing testament that the sometimes putridly pungent but wonderfully flavorful ethnic dishes are universally enjoyed.
  5. The service was terrible and the food was good but not good enough to make up for the service.
  6. Most of food, I like BBQ and Bibibap the most.
  7. The soups are very "authentic" and rich.
  8. The quality of meat is very fresh and delicious.
  9. Took my best friend who had a bad Korean meal the last time and she loved it.
  10. The bulgogi was awesome, the service was fast and friendly and the food never stops coming.
  11. Went to Woo Chon to experience table bbq in a big group (12).
  12. No ethnic foods are "traditional" in that the old countryfolks were often too poor to eat delicious food.
  13. Will definitely return again for good food at a reasonable price.
  14. Probably the best place to get good Korean food around the 'little Korea town' area in midtown, but don't count on getting spoiled by the staff.
  15. BBQ is really really delicious.

The Best Korean BBQ

by BB1970

I tried many korean restaurant to enjoy them with my friends. Most of food, I like BBQ and Bibibap the most. Woo Chon's BBQ is the top of the korean restaurants. The quality of meat is very fresh and delicious. Service is also great. I forgot her name Mrs......she is very friendly. I got Soju with BBQ, that's fantastic...

Best Korean Ever!

by lisalisa0812

Ate at Woo Chon last Thursday night. It was fantastic. The service was flawless and the owner so sweet. They were very helpful and kind. Took my best friend who had a bad Korean meal the last time and she loved it. She is a very, very picky eater and even she said she would go back and eat there again. Absolutely wonderful and we will be back.

  • Pros: Awesome cuisine
  • Cons: A little pricey.

Best Korean BBQ

by snappiest

Woo Chon is the best Korean food I've had in New York City and I've eaten my way through many Manhattan Korean restuarants. I don't feel the need to go anywhere else. The BBQ sides are fabulous and they are happy to bring a bit more of something you liked and will exclude foods you might like to avoid. The staff is so excited to have you try new tastes that they will actually bring small amounts to the table, explain what it is and show you how to eat it. Clearly the Korean community knows this restaurant well since you will likely be the only non-Koreans in the restaurant. Sit downstairs, order the Golbi, and enjoy.

  • Pros: Savory food, attentive staff
  • Cons: None

Tasty Food and Friendly Service

by sramspam

Went to Woo Chon to experience table bbq in a big group (12). Service was friendly and attentive. Bbq dishes were very well seasoned and tasty (Galbi and Spicy Pork were the favs). The assortment of accompaniments were spectacular and all were spicy and delicious. Kim chee was very good as were all the greens. Will definitely return again for good food at a reasonable price.

  • Pros: delicious bbq
  • Cons: one table burner not working
