New York | How Amazing Is It to Eat Grilled Live Eel at a Hole-in-the-Wall Joint?
Maria PerryMaria Perry
My boyfriend and I went for our Valentine’s Day dinner and boy did we pick the right place! The food was amazing - every dish we had. The complementary appetizers were all great as well. The waiter helped us picked the food for us, making very good suggestions on the menu. We ordered a LOT of food between the two of us, and for the price, the portions were hefty. We got a bottle of Soju (each), the thin sliced pork belly, the prime rib (see photo) the spicy beef japchae, and the galbi. Everything was delicious. The marble texture and seasoning of the galbi was especially exquisite. They also brought us out some complementary dishes, an amuse bouche if you will, of the egg soufflé and a very earthy vegetable soup. The service was excellent. Both gentlemen who helped us were friendly and knowledgeable, chatting with us while cooking our different meats at various times. Victor cooked most of our meat, and a gentleman who I assume is the owner took our order and also cooked some of the meat. We appreciated that we didn’t at all feel rushed. We were able to take our time and enjoy everything a little bit at a time. It was a great evening. I also appreciated the 90s rap they were playing which was a nice cultural juxtaposition to the food and nostalgic for me. The owner even added a special valentine’s day touch with a small gift bag of chocolates. Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service were excellent. Definitely check it out! (FYI parking is a bit tricky so get there with extra time).

🔥 Korean BBQ Night Done Right (Mostly)! 🔥 We came hungry, left hungry, and still dreaming about those marinated short ribs! Here's the delicious lineup we devoured: 🥩 Maeun Galbi – De-boned beef short ribs in a spicy marinade 🥩 Yang Nyeom Galbi – Marinated, de-boned sliced beef short ribs 🍲 Galbi Jjim – Braised short ribs 🐷 Pork Belly – Classic and juicy 🥞 Haemul Pajeon – Seafood scallion pancake Let’s get into it: The Maeun Galbi and Yang Nyeom Galbi were absolute standouts—tender, flavorful, and marinated to perfection. Honestly, I could’ve eaten a second round of both and still wanted more. The pork belly hit that rich, savory spot too—crispy edges, juicy inside, solid all around. Galbi Jjim had great texture—super tender—but the sweetness was a little too much for me. Still on the hunt for my dream galbi jjim! Now, let’s talk Haemul Pajeon—crispy, golden edges with the perfect seafood bite. Loved it! Crunch factor: 10/10. 🙌 Service was warm and attentive. Shoutout to the gentleman who grilled our meat tableside—expertly done, sir! If I had one gripe, it’d be the portion sizes. For the price, I was expecting just a little more on the plate. Everything was tasty, but a bit more generous serving-wise would’ve made it even better.

My recent visit to Ssam Tong restaurant was easily the worst dining experience I can recall. I had the unfortunate pleasure of going there with a date, and it turned out to be a complete disappointment from start to finish.

First of all, when we arrived, the staff seemed completely disinterested in welcoming us. Instead of leading us to a table, we were left standing awkwardly at the entrance, unsure of what to do. It took some time before someone finally acknowledged our presence and...

Our party of five was able to get seats without any reservations but it was at least a 30min wait, not bad at all on a Fri. evening.

The owner gave those waiting in line free beer for the wait, that was very unexpected & awesome of him.

Once seated we were able to place our orders, brisket, LA galbi, spicy squid, japchae, and the large intestine.

The brisket was fresh, galbi was marinated with a flavorful sauce, chef’s kiss. The squid wasn’t too spicy and it was the kids favorite,...
