Higher Class Korean

by wisebrain

This place is great for the east side. It's a good place for lunch. I enjoyed the bibimbop as well as the other little dishes you get with the meal.

Terrible for BBQ

by adnagnyc

Strolled in on a Thurs night with a friend in the mood for great Korean bbq. The staff that did the bbq for us had no clue what to do. She put the meat/shrimp on when the bbq wasn't hot enough so it just lay there limp, and we did not hear the familiar sizzle. Oh- and also, it's expensive for what you get. The big problem here is that they do not use charcoal for their bbq so you do not get the smoky flavor. Avoid this place if bbq is your thing- head over to K-town and visit Won JO instead. Great food, and better prices. More experienced staff too!

• Pros: centrally located near midtown east.
• Cons: horrible bbq- and inexperienced waitstaff.

Pricey for Korean food

by TardyKat

Staff was attentive and food was good. The place was so packed for lunch we were whisked away to the back part of the restaurant, which I assumed is usually for private parties. Like all Korean restaurants, there were free appetizers. I ordered the Park Avenue combo, for $18, you get soup, salad, bulgogi and dosot bip bim bop. It's a bit expensive but this being mid-town Manhattan, I guess that's to be expected.

• Pros: Good food, fast service
• Cons: Expensive

AMAZING

by richierich1977

Best Korean food above 32nd Street. The prices are good, and the food is very authentic. Friendly staff, and beautiful atmosphere. THEIR PIANO GUY ROCKS. BEST PIANO PLAYING I HAVE HEARD SINCE MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO PLAY. They also have the BEST pickled black beans in the world...but they dont have it all the time. Also the lotus root is very good too!

• Pros: Amazing everything
• Cons: none

Dante, Sung and Yubin Go to Korean Palace

by denzraw

The food is tasty. I had the Spicy Bar-bque Pork and it is very Delicious. Sung had the Soup with some spicy shredded beef and he gave it a 8 out of 10. Yubin had the same as I and he also enjoyed his meal. Overall the food is very good but the other reviews are right you need to go to K-Town to get better pricing. But if you work around the hood then this is a good quick fix if you are in the mood for Korean Food.

• Pros: Quick Service, Friendly Staff
• Cons: Price is High

Horrible food

by bratty55

I usually go to K town and for Korean food and I eat it often enough to know good Korean food from bad. I tried KoreaPalace because it is close to work but the food was just horrible. Their tofu stew was so salty and thick, I only ate a quarter of it and there was like 3 little cubes of tofu. Their bibimbab had mostly lettuce and hardly any meat and for 14 bucks I don't feel I got my money's worth. Their little side dishes were skimpy too.

• Pros: location
• Cons: bad food, not authentic Korean, not enough banchan

Good Lunch

by kcchoi

I got the hot spicy soup (YookHweJang) and it tasted great. Almost as good as mom's. My colleague got the Bulgoki Box, which had a lot of neat items to eat, next to the beef. Personally, I think the beef always tastes better off the grill, but if you don't want your clothes to stink, the Box is the way to go. The side dishes (panchan) were pretty good and I think this place is priced pretty reasonably for midtown. This was my second time there, so I have no complaints.

• Pros: convenient location, reasonable prices, good food

wow....midtown korean!

by ephman97

The food is good, the atmosphere is soothing (piano bar and soft lighting at nite), and it's in midtown! Huzzah! Recommend the yookgehjang (spicy red soup), the bulgogi (bbq boneless beef), and the bibimbap (rice and veggies).

• Pros: cute little sides, relaxing, good lunch deals
• Cons: a little pricy

Teriffic lunch

by nuno157

This is one of my favorite spots for lunch in the area. Nothing beats the Clay Pot Bibimbop -- fried rice served sizzling in a hot clay pot that "caramelizes" as you eat it. Hard to believe the negative reviews. The one minor complaint would be the generic dining room, but the staff is always friendly and the food is terrific.
