What People Are Saying About Kunjip Korean Restaurant
The Owner

When you sit down at Kunjip Korean Restaurant, expect the best, most authentic Korean Cuisine you can find in Midtown. Kunjip, or ?The Big House? in Korean, does mostly Korean classics & you get a great variety of delicious dishes, tons of sides to choose from, and freshly prepared rice, which really make yor dining experience. All the spices are imported from Korea as well as the fresh Korean vegetables. If you are looking for a late night/early morning spot, stop in to Kunjip where you will receive quick and efficient service any time of day. Kunjip is open for business 24/7. The room is simple and relaxing, even with a line out the door. In summertime, get the traditional nang myun?cold beef broth with buckwheat noodles, super-thin slices of beef, even thinner slices of apple, and a boiled egg. This spot is great for dining in groups or going to lunch with coworkers and friends.

In Short
The frantic energy is apparent as soon as you step in off the street. A perpetual line stretches to the front door as frantic hosts seat diners with alarming efficiency. Why the all the hullabaloo? That would be the food: The spicy seafood casserole is very popular, and items like the Bo Ssam (a plate of broiled pork) go beyond the usual Koreatown offerings. Don't worry though, the classics like bi bim bob and noodles are still available.

The place is crowded and loud. We had to scream to one another just to be heard. During our dinner, we were constantly disturbed by all the commotion that was going on. The food was good but, nothing spectacular.

Have dined here twice in the past few weeks and both times I had outstanding food and service. I went to this place based on a recommendation from a friend and it was certainly a good find. Friendly staff, speedy service, a nice crowd, and located in a cool neighborhood for sightseeing.

we left a 15% tip which was $6 dollars. i wrote my tip ($3) on my receipt for the use of my credit card and my friend left her portion of the tip ($3) in cash. as we were leaving my friend ( i was already outside) was stoppped and harrased initially by the angry waitress and then the manager as to why we only left $3 dollars as tip on the credit card receipt. they accused her/us of only leaving $3. we were not sure who took the bill, but we left our 15% tip ($6). my friend was made to feel like a criminal for the tip we left. first off, no customer should ever be scolded by the staff for the tip they choose to leave and secondly we did leave a 15% tip and it is not our fault other members of the waitstaff who collected our tip of $6 perhaps pocketed the remaining $3 dollars. this incident of being scolded by a waitress and a manager ruined our entire afternoon and made the food that we ate stomach churning.
