I really do not like waiting for a table in cramped quarters. Or getting spotty service. So why do I like this place so much? Because this is what Korean food should taste like. Ask anyone waiting in the line that always stretches out of the restaurant. The food is the draw: they avoid the common mistake of going too cheap with the bul go gi meat, the Korean pancake is glutiny goodness, and the ban chan spread (Korean side dishes that include kimchee and other delights) is diverse and delicious. With a large group, you can get a large stone pot of rice, and at the end of the meal, an Ajima will come by and pour hot water into the bowl to free up the crusty rice at the bottom, providing a warm drink with which to cap the meal, just like my own emo does it. The interior decor, with Korean newspaper for wallpaper, is straight out of I-tae-won, ca. 1984. Being shuttled around into the few little pockets of clear space as we wait for our table sucks, but it's worth it in the end. So worth it.

I know Korean food, and this place is one of the best in NYC. The food is authentic and sure to warm the soul. The menu has a nice variety of dishes, and this is the place I take people when they want to try Korean for the first time. Although the wait for a table may be long (especially on Fri/Sat night), it's well worth it.
