“ The Korean bbq is really good. All the other dishes we ordered were good as well. Our go to spot for Korean food. ”
“ Quite night, looks like all new here. Service is great and food is always good. Wish they have more selection of Chicken or Fish as one of my party doesn't eat beef. ”
“ The food here is consistently excellent. The ban chan is also over the top -- more than ample with a wide variety, so you are almost full before dinner. I have come here many times and never been disappointed. They have great hours as well. The staff is always super friendly even though I don't speak any Korean. I don't understand how anyone could rate this place any less than 5 stars. I have been to many many Korean restaurants in NYC over the years, and this is one of the best. ”
“ I've been coming to Sansoogapsan since I was in middle school, and now, at thirty years old, it remains one of my go-to spots for Korean BBQ. While the restaurant doesn't always get the best ratings, I think that might be because of the inconsistent service, which can be a hit or miss at times. But for me, it's all about the food, and that's where Sansoogapsan shines. The quality of their meats is consistently great, which is why I keep coming back. Whether it's beef or other parts of beef you can always expect well-prepared, high-quality cuts. Their side dishes are also fantastic--especially the yangyum gaejaeng (spicy marinated crab), which is always flavorful, along with their perfectly done steamed eggs and hearty dwenjangjjigae (fermented soybean stew). Despite the mixed reviews, if you're looking for a reliable spot with great BBQ meats and solid side dishes, Sansoogapsan is worth checking out. ”
“ This place has changed a lot since I last came here. Looks like the place was renovated with a clean look and an open concept. I'm glad to see that they still offer valet parking but I haven't had any issues the last two times I came here. Things we ordered: 1. galbi - I did not have but it was liked on the table. 2. samgyupsal - I did not have but it was liked on the table. 3. fried mackerel - a large portion and grilled maybe slightly over. But I did not mind it. 4. soonduboo jigae - I actually liked it here. Pretty flavorful. 5. duboo kimchi - I did not have but every liked it. Has some duk into too. 6. bibim naengmyun - disappointing as it had no flavor and noodles were overcooked. Banchan here was overall good but not the best that I've had. The first time we came they gave us free spicy gejang which was nice. I think the real knock here is the service. They often miss and forget things that you ask for. We had to flag them a few times. Overall, I'd go back and would recommend. ”
“ Must try the marinade short ribs is very tender & juicy. Also, the Korean seafood pancake is super duper crispy. The pork combo was normal as well. The service is fantastic, we dine in like an hour before they closed. They didn't rush us n keep refill the side dishes n tea for us. ”
“ Came here about twice, and both times there were speedy service. The servers cook the meat for you, but they do cook pretty fast and to medium rare, so if you want something else (for me I like to eat pretty slow and my galbi cooked REALLY well.. like a little burnt..) you can just speak up and they will adjust to you. Highly recommended the mul naengmyeon to complement the marinated galbi!! Rice is not included with the meal, but steamed eggs and a soy bean paste stew are, as well as various side dishes which vary each time I go + veggies/wraps. When you ask for the check, you get a refreshing cinnamon drink which is a nice finisher to all the flavors that you put into your mouth :D ”
“ I've been coming here for years and is the place to go to when it comes to lunch and dinner. My mom and aunts also frequently visit this restaurant as well. They have a variety of dishes like soup, stir-fry dishes and KBBQ. During the summer, I order Bibim Naengmyeon with Kalbi. Other times, I may just want some good old Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef Soup) or Kalbi Tang. Recently, I came here and ordered Yukgaejang while my sister ordered the Yukhwe Bibimbap after leaving my car nearby for an inspection. It seriously hit the spot. Yukhwe Bibimbap consists of seasonrd raw sliced beef, raw egg yolk, assorted veggies, pear, and rice (on the side). They provide red pepper sauce (gochujang) to mix with the dish. It's one of those dishes that people recommend to eat during the winter because it might get spoiled easily. However, when I tried a bite, it was delicious with a mixture of sweet, spicy, and salty. My sister had no regrets. My Yukgaejang was hearty. Thr soup was filled with scallion, shredded beef, cellophane noodle, and egg. Although it says spicy, I did not find it spicy at all. At the end of the meal, they gave a small bowl of a Cinammon Punch drink called Sujeonggwa. Do remember that this is not some fancy restaurant with superior service. You might need to flag down the staff if you want a refill of water. I would probably pass with the different pancakes they offer (seafood and kimchi) aa it's a hit or miss. They also have a lunch special menu that runs from Monday through Friday. ”
