Korean Express — Restaurant in New York

This is a very dissappointing korean food place.. we arrived at 8pm, we ordered a bibimbap. Where can you find bibimbap where the rice is served separately and the ingredients are like a salad bowl?

Bibimbap consists of a sunny side up egg. Here it is an over fried egg. It also didnt have any shitake mushrooms. No tofu. Instead it was just a lettuce,cucumber,carrots,slices of bulgogi beef,no bean sprouts

The bibimbap was served over a bed of lettuce like a salad. It is not a salad bowl. The staff argued they have always served it like this, telling us that their working for 17years in the shop. but i find that hard to believe considering i have ordered this dish many times and have never seen this presentation. They claimed only the hot stone bowl was served over rice. Even if that was the case, the bowl of lettuce should not have been there.

There is a small dining area. We asked for plates since we were sharing two dishes, but the cashier told us they were not allowed to give out plates. They gave us 2 takeout bowls instead, the kind you would use for a small soup. Meanwhile, the staff was sitting at a table in the back using plates, but customers are not allowed?!?

They dont know how to cook a korean food. I would not recommend this place. It was a waste coming here. A very bad experience. The staff should not argue with the customer when they clearly did not make the food properly. Hello!! We know better the...

I found this restaurant when I was looking for a quick meal before heading home after a recent shopping trip to Bloomingdale’s. After reading the reviews I decided to try them out. Korean Express is a fast-casual Korean restaurant. Most of the restaurant is taken up by the open kitchen and counter but there are plenty of small tables.

They offer the standard Korean fare; japchae, mandoo, wings, kimbap, etc. Since I was in a hurry, I decided on a ordering the Korean Fried Chicken 6 piece wings ($8) and crispy fries($5). The wings were actually really yummy! It had a nice crunch and good flavor. The meat was very juicy, and the pieces were pretty large. It was a really nice surprise.

The crispy fries were okay. They did not look like shoestring fries as was described on the menu but rather regular French fries. The fries themselves were fried perfectly and not too oily. It came with an aioli mayo dipping sauce that was kind of bland. Nevertheless, it went pretty well with the wings.

This restaurant is an inexpensive option, especially for this neighborhood. The décor has seen better days, but the food is actually pretty good. And the service is quick and friendly. Next time I’m in the neighborhood, I’m definitely...

My wife and I came here for an early dinner- the food was okay. Not outstanding but okay. It didn't taste as good as other authentic dishes I have been served in the past. Many dishes were not as warm as they could have been. I ordered Ramen and kimbap, and ttoboki, Service was not as great as it could have been. I felt like I was being treated like I was a burden rather than a customer. I had to tip so it felt like I could have been treated with more friendliness. The staff was not rude but definitely NOT ATTENTIVE either. However, I do appreciate the many small dishes we received to compliment our food and the Korean spicy sauce was delicious. The prices were not reasonable either. It is a pricy restaurant for the lack of service and mediocre cuisine. My wife and I will not be returning. To add- They never pick up the phone. My wife and I wanted to reserve the tables here however we could not reach anyone. It is busy so we may be understanding there.

To those reading the review- we would suggest better Korean restaurants for the prices they give here. The price is not worth the food here or service.
