AUTHENTIC KOREAN BBQ & WINE BAR IN NYC

Ask any Korean in their 20s to name their go-to KBBQ spot, and they’ll point to Jongro. A regular stop in the late-night K-Towner’s Saturday night, Jongro is a not-so-secret second floor restaurant more for eating and imbibing than for sitting down with the family.

Brisket, Korean marinated short ribs, and skirt steak are the centerpiece foods here, but orders of spicy rice cakes, kimchi stew, and thick, fried seafood pancakes can also be seen at almost every other table. The high-capacity space makes it the ideal group destination, so roll in with your six favorite friends, and an appetite for soju.
