Gangnam

Wow! So impressed with this BBQ place! Food came out very quickly and staff were so attentive and friendly :) They let us sit while we waited for the rest of our party and we never felt rushed. Every meat we ordered actually showed up, which was a really nice experience!My friends and I were so shocked by all the extra snacks, veggie section, drinks, and ice cream. I'd love to come back again. Cuts of meat were really good and not too fatty. Environment was very nice, clean, and well decorated - great for a nice dinner out!Only downside is when bbqing with 6 people, you have to share one grill, which slows things down.

Great options and extensive menu - with also extras such as deserts and a buffet style of garnishes, sauces, vegetables, etc.Service is efficient and attentive The space itself is one of the more appealing KBBQ/hotpot places.

Decent place for AYCE hot pot and bbq!The inside is very spacious with seating that can accommodate large parties. The style for this restaurant is to order with the worker for bbq meats and seafood but self serve sides, veggies, hot pot meat, and beverages, which is found more convenient, as I prefer seeing all the options in front of me. For the hot pot, I thought that the broth was lacking in flavor. One major issue that I had was that they served the hotpot with plastic ladles sitting in the broth, which I thought was strange since it can release microplastics especially sitting in the hot broth. My friend even forgot about it and it was completely melted in the pot! One suggestion for the restaurant is to change those ladles to something safer or give a friendly warning to customers. However I enjoyed the quality of meat for the bbq portion of the dinner and their selection of sides and veggies were tasty

I finally came here on a weeknight after months of passing by the place and I have to say it did not disappoint. Gangnam has to probably the most thorough in terms of what you can eat amongst the all you can hotpot/bbq spot in the city including the outer boros. Not only are their ingredients top notch as others have said, they have a wider assortment of menu items and buffet items. In addition to the usual cuts of lamb, beef, pork, chicken, veggies, etc. for the hotpot and buffet, they have fresh fruit in the form of bananas and sushi rolls. The place exceeded my expectations by a mile. I would definitely recommend them.The ambiance is pretty chic and modern and pretty spacious overall. Service was fairly quick. I would definitely come back again.

We were excited when a new ayce hot pot opened right in our neighborhood, but wanted to wait for them to get out the kinks. We finally decided to visit them today. The restaurant is very spacious with lots of seating and large tables. You can do ayce hot pot or bbq or both. We went with hot pot for about $35 per person. The interesting thing about this place was that everything other than seafood, is self-service. Order your soup base and seafood, then head straight to the back and load up on what you like. There's quite a bit of variety including sushi rolls and fried appetizers. Everything was quite good. We loved the self serve aspect. Drinks and ice cream is also included but the variety is limited. You can order beer and wine for extra cost as well. Overall we'll come back. It's still not our favorite spot but you can't beat the convention or the abundance of seating.

One of the cheap all-you-can-eat hot pot / bbq places in Chinatown / Flushing. The selection of food is good for the price, as soft drinks and ice cream are included. The inclusion of drinks makes it better value than K-Pot, which is similar in terms of food selection. The hot pot / bbq option already includes some hot food (gyozas, fries etc) and some sushi rolls. You can also order sushi nigiri separately, I think they are only $1 each. Service was good when we went, all the servers we had spoke English. The decor is also quite nice for a cheap all-you-can-eat place. Food quality isn't the best, but you can't really expect top quality meat or seafood for all-you-can-eat places under $40.

This is only for the kbbq portion of the menu. As an AYCE, it offers enough variety for everyone ($38.99 for kbbq only). Must orders include the beef tongue, the marinated pork belly, & the frog legs. Vegetables and appetizers are located near the sauce station. Frankly, I am surprised by the drinks refrigerator as it offered both soy milk and Walovie (red can). Ice cream & fudgsicles are available for dessert. Service is prompt and very helpful in navigating the menu options. Our server had to show us how to open the soy milk drink bottles. Bathrooms are clean, but very few. Reservations are recommended on a busy night.

Gangnam is my new favorite hotpot restaurant! I went with a friend for the AYCE lunch buffet special for $20 a few weeks after it opened. It was pretty astonishing how much was included--besides the hotpot, they offered appetizers like sushi, kimchi, shrimp tempura, and lots of other pickled and fried items. For dessert, there was ice cream, fried pumpkin cakes, fried coconut balls, and fresh fruit (watermelon, melon, honeydew), among others. In addition to all that, they had a case of canned and bottled drinks like Wang Lao Ji, soda, and soy milk. Was the prepared appetizers and desserts the best I'd ever had? No. Was the cut fruit ripe? No. But still decent and can't complain based on the price. The hotpot itself was very good. The ingredients were fresh and abundant. There are some items that are only available for dinner, but the main meat, seafood, tofu, vegetables, dumplings, and noodles are all there. I really liked the clean, calm, and pleasantly decorated interior with the booth seating. The staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, definitely a spot to return to with other family members in the future. They do have a discounted price available for kids.

Such an underrated and hidden spot in Lower East Side!As they are recently opened, it feels like an underground spot that not many people know about. It's really difficult to find an AYCE KBBQ/hot pot spot with such a good price in Manhattan: $34 for AYCE, add $5 to have both hot pot and KBBQ. I had KBBQ and was thoroughly impressed with the selection and quality of meats. They cook for you, and service is amazing, very friendly and fast. AYCE also includes a sauce bar, with some fried foods and sushi. You can pick up any vegetables, as well as drinks and desserts. This really is my new favorite AYCE KBBQ place!They have many tables, and it's great for either a date or a dinner with many friends. It feels classy with the dark interior. They also have a bar downstairs, if you're not feeling AYCE. Definitely go try Gangnam!

David was such a great waiter he made the experience very easy and comfortable for me & my bf first experience. We were a bit lost ! He gave a quick tour and even helped us start cooking our meats. Now when we go back I'll be fully prepared to do it on my own and try more options. He gave suggestions on what to get & each was tasty. He made our drinks really good and even got to know us a bit. I'll definitely recommend asking for David each time. The only downside was he told to put his tip in the jar & he really was deserving of the full tip. He was really great but I'll definitely visit again
