Barn Joo 35

Located in Midtown Manhattan along 35th street. Barn Joi 35 is the place to be if you love Korean food and pair it with your favorite drinks. They have an intensive drink list - cocktails, soju. Upon entering the restaurant, you're greeted by the hostess and seated to your table. The ambiance is cool and chill, perfect for group dinners, family night out and date nights. The drinks! I love love it!!Try the Midtown Forsynthia or better get the four soju taster combo. Also recommend the Matcha, such a refreshing drink with hint of pineapple and not so sweet. We tried some of their appetizers which I truly recommend. The soft shell crispy crab, the soy garlic wings, the calanari with nuts and the fried dumplings! For main dishes- we tried the bulgogi hot bowl and new york strip entree. Absolutely delicious. And presentation was excellent! Overall, the experience was incredible. Such a cool spot to have a great time.

My friends and I decided to try this Barn Joo location after trying the one in Union Square. Service was friendly and quick as the place was pretty empty when we arrived. We did make a reservation ahead of time though. The restaurant is nice and good vibes for a large group. We ordered a lot of shareable items and the portion sizes were small for the high price point. Highlights were the buns and the shishito peppers for me as these were the most flavorful. I expected more from the corn & cheese, but it was lacking flavor and once we got to the bottom, all the cheese was gone since it was a deeper dish vs a flatter one where the cheese can spread evenly. My friends ordered the mocktails and they expected the piña colada to be more slushy, but it was just juice and was very sweet. Same with the mojito, which tasted like sweet juice. Overall, the food was pretty one note, but a good spot for a large group.

Solid but a little overpriced for the portions and taste. If you make a reservation, you can spin their wheel for some freebies - we got kimchi, which was very fermented. There's no banchan served (!!!) so this was it.Fisherman's Stew: this was the best dish, it was so so spicy and full of seafood. But the portion was really small, just barely shareable for three people and while we opted for the ramen noodles in here, I'm really shocked that was a whole pack of ramen because I barely got any? Galbijim: much too sweet for me and the japchae noodles stuck too much to the pot. I think there were only about five small-medium pieces too so not enough to go around as wellCalamari and peanuts: we all wondered what was the purpose of the peanuts as it didn't add anything to this dish at all (flavors wise) Soft shell crab: it's just one crab and while it looks pretty big, it's mostly just breading so it wasn't the best at all

I really enjoyed their galbijim! It was different from what I was used to, more on the soupy than saucy side but really tasty and very tender. Its a nice restaurant with friendly service too. I'm not a fan of their clientele if I'm being honest, I had 3 separate occasions in one night where other customers had lack of situational awareness/feel they are more important than others around them. This isn't the restaurants fault but just wanted to call that out that it attracts a certain kind of person.

Korean gastronomy? Love it. Where kimchi meets french fries! We went fur lunch, When I first came in, they made me spin the wheel of Fortune and it landed on free french fries! Yay! The portions are huge. I had the ssam galbi and it came with lettuce cup soup, side dish, rice, and Galbi of course. I couldn't finish it so I had to take half home. We all had different things so it was nice to taste. I'll definitely come back! I'mHungry just looking at the photos! Service was friendly & courteous.

Made a reservation for 14 for a friends birthday on a Saturday evening and they were super accommodating. Our host was very easy going and helped us set up the tables quickly on the second floor. They held our cake, prepped it with candles and gave us free shots! The food at Barn Joo is never a miss, and I beasted my entire seafood japchae. Everyone got their order quickly and it was all pretty good, especially their lychee soju cocktail and bulgogi dishes. Definitely recommend and i'll be going back!

Overall a 3.5 stars in my book but the staff was really nice so rounded to a 4. It's super fun with the wheel out front that each table gets to spin for a chance to win something like a free glass of wine.I really liked the fried tiger roll out of everything we had. I had the uni bibimbap but it was the smallest portion of uni ever and kind of sad with how little they gave for a giant bowl of rice. I'm almost fine paying more if they could give more for a better ratio of uni and unfortunately the uni wasn't the best quality with the fishier flavor either. My friends also said they liked the bulgogi bibimbap but beef lacked enough flavor. Room for improvement but maybe worth giving a chance.

My daughter brought me here several years ago & ever since I've been having dinners here. Located on 35 St. between 5th& 6th Ave, this restaurant has a great selection of Korean food & great Cocktails, including beers & wines. I love the Truffle Fries & the selection of delicious appetizers & main courses served hot, cold, steamed or fried. The atmosphere & decor is tasteful & modern. Of course, they have their big lighted signature Moon on the wall. The staff is friendly & attentive & the place is good for dinner for two, groups of family, friends or co-workers. This restaurant is worth going to eat if you're in the city & in the area.

Solid but a little overpriced for what you get. The portions are also pretty small, so definitely come with others and share a few dishes. There was no wait when I came on a Friday night but it was lively inside.

I love this place and return often. It's a go to for a quick meal and good drinks! And I love the bathroom so cute
