Five Senses

Excellent variety and flavorful selection of banchan. You can request for more as well.Seafood pancake was very tasty and is shareable among our table of 4. I settled on a classic bibimbap and seafood tofu soup which was an additional $5. Tofu soup had a surprising about of seafood considering its size. Bibimbap was tasty and had all the essentials of the classic dish, however portion size was on the small end. It was also quite expensive for the little amount of beef it comes with.

One thing I love about New York is you can have a list of a billion places to try and yet always strike up a new place by chance. I stayed near K-town and we were looking for something quick before going to a concert in brooklyn and then CLICK BOOM we stumbled upon Five Senses.The restaurant is very laid back, like going to someone's house for a meal. The food was great for what we needed but just alright. The pork cutlet was way tougher than it should be and the soup was quite bland but it came with about 6 different banchans which we lovvvve to see. The portions were also huge and the soup came with plenty of rice cake though I wished a little more short rib had been added since we paid extra. The fast came out fast and we were in and out. A lot of places close between that weird 2 hrs of 2-4pm so glad to find them.What we got Pork cutletRice cake & dumpling soup with short rib $Food 6Atmosphere 5Service 7

I hadn't been here in years but recently went for dinner because my mom had specific dishes in mind and Five Senses had everything checked off on her little list. It was brightly lit inside and service was prompt enough, whenever you could flag a server down. - Kimchi Fried Rice - this was good, we ordered it a second time without cheese which everyone liked better - LA Galbi - the meat was really tender and flavorful, ordered it twice - Budae Jigae - for $27 the portion was sooo small- Korean Fried Chicken - not that crispy or saucy, there's better elsewhere- Kimchi Pancake - wished it was crispier, ours was really doughy and soft

5/5 Banchan - variety and quality were great! 5/5 Seafood Tofu Stew - had a generous amount of seafood, broth had great flavor without being overly spicy4.5/5 Bulgogi Ddukbaegi - a slightly sweet umami broth with loads of bulgogi and tteok!

This is a decent spot to go to if other restaurants in the area are too packed. I wanted some korean food and definitely wanted get some sort of soup. This place felt pretty big and my friend and I got a really decent table so all good there. The budae jigae was better than the spicy pork because it had a lot of flavor and I typically like soup dishes from korean spots more in general.The banchan is ok, it has multiple items with a little more than some restaurants offer but I only cared for about half of them. The service is quick, it's a convenient location in ktown, and I know there are other things I'd order off this menu so I'll be back but it's not some amazing restaurant I try to go to every couple of months or crave when I want korean food. But another option for anyone who hasn't been or needs a spot because other places are busy.

Food was a little salty and on the higher end of pricing. The budae jigae (army stew) was also pretty small portion despite thinking it'd be bigger due to the price. The chicken wings were unexpectedly the best dish there.

Came on a friday night and everywhere in Ktown was packed! We decided to go for the shortest line and it was still a 20 minute wait. The place is a bit crowded and we sat in the middle of the restaurant at a large table that had small dividers between groups. We ordered a seafood pancake (was alright , solid choice) & galbi tang (a little bland but good for the soul). It's a solid restaurant overall but nothin too crazy.

Restaurant is good for large groups and you can get seated easily, but food and taste is lacking compared to other places you can go to. I got the Ogam Gul Gukbap Soup (Oyster Soup with Seaweed), and was a bit let down by the lack of taste, especially for the price.I probably wouldn't come here again unless I'm with a large group of people and there aren't better seating options in the area; definitely can find somewhere more worth.

Food was just...not good. The galbi tang was the most palatable but it lacked depth of flavor and the galbi was very tough. The chicken was really bad--each piece as small, over sauced (tasted like general tso's), and for some reason they sprinkled Parmesan over the whole thing. The egg was fine but had a strong burnt/gas flavor to it.Service was actually very good--really appreciated the wait staff here who are very nice and attentive.Ambiance is fine. Average for ktown.Overall: would not recommend, maybe other places nearby with better food

I wanted to visit Five Senses to try raw marinated crab. They had the gochujang flavor. It's my first time trying this crab, the middle part of the crab had the most meat. I thought that the gochujang flavor was a little strong. I also got the soondubu army style. I like the flavor of the hot soup. Of the banchan, I really liked the macaroni salad.
