Baekjeong NYC
This branch of a South Korea-based chain offers table-grilled Korean BBQ, plus noodles & cocktails.
When I came to New York I had never heard of “Korean BBQ”. By now I’ve tried a few Korean BBQ restaurants, but the one that sticks out is Baekjeong. Here you choose meat and vegetables from the menu and the waiters come to your table and cook it on a small private grill situated in the middle of your table. In the meantime, a large variety of small side-snacks is served and refilled as needed. Despite the lack of my chop-stick skills I still manage to finish before everyone else. It's too tasty!
