Ahgassi Gopchang Korean BBQ

I randomly popped into this spot while I was strolling by, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! We had to hang out for about 40 minutes because we didn’t have a reservation, but it was totally worth it. The food was fantastic, the meat was incredibly tender, and the service was on point. I’ll definitely return!

My favorite Korean BBQ in NYC. The store front was already eye catching, the aesthetic really great inside as well... But the food, the food was amazing. I would go out of my way to stop in NY just to eat here again. The staff were all super friendly and attentive, everything was just great. (Shout out to Jin for the recommendation, he really wasn't exaggerating)

Miranda my daughter and I were in search of a restaurant where we could enjoy some traditional Korean food, specifically grilled meat as he had heard great things about it. We found it by chance and the first thing that caught our attention was the pink exterior and flamboyant interior. What followed was an epic experience of culinary greatness. There’s music in the restaurant, it is very colourful with floral motifs and the moment you sit at the table, you find plates already served with tofu, salad, sauce, kimchi and the like. We ordered the Beef menu and it came with an extraordinarily good kimchi soup with pork belly. For more details, look at the images. Bottom line, worth every penny.

The beef combo is a must at this spot since every meat was cooked to perfection. I really liked the details like different sauce for each meat and additional veggies. Also, we ordered daechang where it was the best part of meal due to its crispiness. Overall, it was a pleasant dinner service. Next time I would ljke to come back to try different combo.

Really generous portion and side dishes. Staff was attentive and tried to cater to us as best as they can despite a Saturday dinner rush. I like that you can make a res (the old location didn’t have this option) which makes dining more seamless.

Had the best service from Se Won, she was super attentive, refilled our side plates and was very friendly. The best service we’ve ever had at a Korean BBQ restaurant!! Not to mention the food. Pork belly was cooked perfectly with a light crisp. Honey garlic beef was well flavored. The beef intestines were soft, juicy, and chewy. And the fried rice after was chef’s kiss. Would definitely recommend 👍

The food is amazing and the service is very great too. The Cold noodle is one of the best ones I have had so far. I would definitely recommend this place for a dinner with friends.

This place is very Instagramable. I can here for a friends birthday and we left FULL! I we got a combo for $119 for 4 meats, along with a lemonade, bottle of soju, 3 bowls of rice (RICE IS NOT INCLUDED) and a bowl soybean soup. The soup was oddly very good! The paste itself was a little spicy but not overpowering. The meat and veggies were seasoned perfectly! The Japanese bbq portion of the evening was good. Our server came around to cook our food in increments as we ate our food. The meat does NOT come pre seasoned. It is simply cooked and you can use the accompanying foods on the table to eat with it. The sweet potato was particularly good along with the soy sauce and the kimchi. This is a great place for authentic Japanese bbq. The grill itself does get hot but there’s a fan just above it to keep it from getting too hot. They also play kpop music in here! There are two levels here. You need to make a reservation in advance here. It fills up. Altogether we spent $170 with tax and tip included.

Their interior is interesting and their prime beef combo is worth the money. I would come back for the beef combo again.

Best BBQ I've ever had! Definitely recommend the marinated short ribs. Also, the brisket is to die for! 10/10!

Love that they cooked for us while I catch up with friends. Good quality meat. I would revisit again

Did a walk in about opening time and was able to get a table right away. Upon entering you see a list of celebrities far and wide that have either visited this location or the locations on the west coast. As we were seated, we saw all the banchan already waiting for us at our table and we were definitely ready to eat. This place does the grill for you, so it's a completely hands off experience. After selecting the house combo, they came out right away to fire up the grill. Overall, the food was tasty and the experience was great from beginning to end. No complaints whatsooooever!! Highly recommend to get a reservation before coming as this place can get quite crowded.

Came here for a dear friends birthday dinner and the decor spoke to me immediately! It's pink and purple of course. The meat served was so fresh! We went for an early dinner at 5p and that was the perfect time Because the restaurant was not packed and we didn't have to rush. I definitely love going for kbqq with my girls.

Came on a Wednesday night around 5:30. It definitely got packed as we ate so definitely make a reservation if you eat later! Loved the options of banchan the meal came with, everything was super good. We ordered the beef set, all the meat was good. They cook it here for you which is nice. The decor is super cute inside, they have an upstairs too so lots of seating. Service was great too, they came by often to cook our food. I will say for the meat you get, it is a bit pricey. I feel like I've had just as good meat for a bit cheaper. But otherwise great spot for some kbbq!

My friend was hit with a craving for intestines (yes, you read that right), and somehow that led us to Ahgassi on a Wednesday night. I'd never been here before, but hey, YOLO, so why not make it memorable with a plate of intestines? We went for the small Modeum Combo ($89.99) for two. Now, as a person from Queens, I gotta say - portion-wise, it's definitely not the "grandma-made-enough-for-an-army" portions I'm used to. But this is Manhattan, so I guess we're paying a premium for the vibes and the digestive adventure. That said, we DID get pretty full! Between the intestines, the sides, and whatever magical sauce they brought out, it turned into a legit feast. My first time trying Korean intestine BBQ, and I have to say, I loved it! Highly recommend giving it a shot, especially with that sauce. Is it normal to want to take sauce shots? Asking for a friend... Ambiance? 10/10. This place has nailed the "I might just be cool enough for Manhattan" vibe.

This is my favorite KBBQ spot in NYC! The food quality is excellent and service is even better. They cook the meat for you, which is nice. The best part in my opinion is definitely the side dishes they offer you (unlimited refills!) I usually get 3 or 4 refills of the tofu dish. The white kimchi they provide is also excellent and pairs well with the meats. Your order comes with a egg souffle as well. I personally really like the thinly sliced brisket and pork belly, but they are known for the gopchang (intestines), which is also pretty tasty. The restaurant is spacious, well-lit, and colorful. Highly recommend coming here!

Great food, interesting format, terrible alcohol situation, hard to know what to order. 5/5 the short ribs, wow. Price was nice at $50 per person which included 20% tip 4/5 rest of the beef and the dumplings 3/5 good water service, tiny containers 2/5 some very weird food scattered around the bbq fire, some good, some hideous, no idea which is which. Tiny chopsticks 1/5 nearly every Asian restaurant is the same when it comes to beer, so I expect it. Hideous beer selection, not a single beer cracked 2.5 on untapped. Koreans in particular hate beer and it shows. Meh, I stuck to water and saved $$$

Absolutely fantastic k BBQ, would go again. Food was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful, the entire place had a great aesthetic. Recommend the beef and pork special combos! (Thanks for the recommendation, Jin!)

Such a great experience here! The food is delicious and I like that they take care of the cooking for you and it doesn't get too smoky in there.

I was very disappointed. We went on a Wednesday night and there was no need for a reservation for two at 5:30PM. The service and banchan were good- no complaints. The small intestine (gopchang) was bitter when it came to the skin, unpleasant flavor inside, and it was missing that fattiness that you would usually get when eating it. There was no grit to it so it was clean but I got splashed twice with oil on my chest. I think Gopchang Story is still the best place for gopchang. They have a bigger portion, it's clean, and they have a safe guard so there's no oil splashing. The cold spicy noodles were pretty standard and was a refreshing change from the gopchang. The place didn't smell of meat permeating the air so it was very clean and well ventilated. The banchan helped save the meal but overall, it left me feeling very unsatisfied.

Saddened to see that Baekjeong is gone, but Ahgassi Gopchang provides a great KBBQ experience! As a party of 3, we came for a team dinner & had a great time! Reservations were relatively easy to get for a smaller party, but highly recommend looking in advance for parties larger than 6. They definitely fill up quickly towards peak dinner hours even on a Tuesday. We decided on the small Ahgassi Combo (brisket, pork belly, pork jowl, and marinated short rib), corn cheese, fried dumplings, and mul naengmyun. The combo came with kimchi stew & steamed egg. It was my coworkers first time having KBBQ, and this was the perfect place to be! Banchan here is plentiful and tasty. Interestingly, they had white kimchi instead of red kimchi. As for the meats, the brisket and marinated short ribs were my favorites. Both were so tender, and melted in your mouth. The pork belly and pork jowl were good as well, but it was a bit porky for my taste. Kimchi soup here is SO deeply savory, sour, and comes with a bit of a kick. Mul naengmyun portions are quite large here, but I did feel like the broth was more radishy than beefy. Service is super attentive, and we never felt rushed throughout the meal. Ventilation here is pretty good too - my hair & clothes didnt smell smoky after leaving the restaurant.

An AMAZING end to a great night out. We were looking for someplace to eat and I adore KBBQ. We went here on a whim, purely because of positive Yelp reviews. It was a great choice! We went with a combo for 3 of us. I appreciated that the staff cooked everything for us without us having to ask. They came by every few minutes to turn the meat, and let us know when things were safe to eat. I'm sure if you told them you wanted to handle it on your own that would be fine, too.

I've been craving KBBQ and this really hit the spot! My partner and I got a 5:00PM reservation (Friday) earlier in the day but it probably wasn't necessary since it seemed like there were tables available. The decor is super cute and fun. We ordered the beef combo with short rib and loved the marinated rib. Portions were great. We opted for the kimchi stew which was a great spice level for me. It had an interesting tomato-soup like flavor to it which surprisingly I appreciated despite not actually liking tomato soup. Our server was great at refilling the delicious banchan. My partner really appreciated the tofu. I found the white kimchi a lot of fun. We would definitely come back!

This was my first time having not-AYCE KBBQ and it was pretty good! The aesthetics and service definitely make this place stand out more so than the food imo. We were about 5 minutes late to our reservation and definitely felt the pressure, but the moment you sit down you can tell they're really trying to get people out. When you arrive at your table, the ban chan and everything is set up. Between the 3 of us we ordered: - Ahgassi combo (brisket, pork belly, pork collar or pork jowl, marinated short rib): We chose the pork jowl, which has more of a chewy/tough texture. All of the meats were very solid. Marinated short rib was definitely my favorite. It also came with a steamed egg (which I loved) and kimchi stew. - Flower-cut pork belly: Definitely on the fattier side if that's your thing. There was almost too much pork belly for me! - Yuzu iced tea: I'm not the biggest fan of iced tea but this was way better than I was expecting! A little on the sweeter side, but the presentation is very cute. This place is a little overhyped in my opinion. Food was pretty standard, but service was fantastic! They cook everything for you and really move things along.

Honestly starting off, I might have went into this place with higher expectations due to overwhelming good reviews. However, looking deeper into the reviews I concur with those who stated the price is unjustifiable with the small portion provided. I will however list some positives that salvaged the place from being a 1/5 star experience for me: - steam egg came out nicely seasoned and hot - sweet potato banchan - Yangpa Jjangachi (korean soy marinated onions) - beef heart was tender Cons: - Korean Seafood Stew came out looking hot, however upon eating it, the tofu was lukewarm. It was almost as if they put cold tofu into a hot stew right at the last moment before serving it. - cheese corn was so sad, not sweet, and almost stale. The cheese also did not mix well into the corn. - i received 5 pieces of pork jowl for the price of $42.99. The portion was immensely small compared to other KBBQ locations of nearby vicinity. Neutral: - the banchan was never refilled nor offered to be refilled despite finishing some in the middle of the meal and before our second meat was done cooking. However, unsure if I had to ask for refill or it was supposed to be offered. Therefore, I refrain from letting this be a negative aspect of the experience.

The meat quality was pretty good, and banchans (side dishes) were solid too. I liked that there was a decent amount of meat in the stew. The ambiance was pretty good, but I'd say they could be more attentive with cleanliness as I saw a chili pepper powder with water pitcher (which is fine, but it could be better)

It was a tuesday evening, couldn't find a table at other bbq restaurants where we were planning to go in the first place. This was the only place that had tables available. It was cute pink and purple filled with flowers. Their ceramic utensils were cute too. Service was fast and great. Food was amazing. We got ahgassi combo for 2 people and it was too much for us. We also saw korean singer Eric Nam there. So, i would say it a celebrity approved place. I would love to be back to try their gopchang.

Came here on a weeknight and was able to be seated immediately without a reservation. The restaurant is very spacious and even has an upstairs portion. The space looks very new and clean. We ordered the Ahgassi combo because it had both beef and pork. Good cuts of meat and good appetizers. Service was very quick. Also recommend their Japchae! Very moist and chewy glass noodles. One of the best I've had!

Delicious food! I did not know this place was very famous but I only happened to come here because most of the other restaurants had a longer wait. The spicy cold noodles were to die for and the bbq itself was delicious and service was great as well. Nice ambiance indoors and the restaurant I believe has two floors. They have an option for you to join the waitlist and on the weekend the wait was around 40 minutes for a party of 2

After returning to the States from Europe, we were desperately craving some Asian food, and what better way to satisfy that craving than to engorge ourselves with KBBQ? This place is not AYCE and will run you a slightly higher price, but it is full service and the meat quality is much higher. We came for a late dinner and this place was still bustling, so we knew it was going to be good. The walls by the entrance were decorated with autographs from various K-pop stars and other Korean celebrities! So cute! For our group of 4, we ordered the large beef combo, seafood pancake, and corn cheese. I'd say a large combo is probably the perfect amount for 4 people if you don't order any sides. With sides you can probably do between 4-6 people depending how big your appetites are (we still pretty much finished everything but we were stuffed). I felt everything was very high quality, from the meat, to the sides and banchan. Quick service from staff as well, they never let anything sit long enough to burn and were on top of grill changes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a premium KBBQ experience!

i'm picky w my korean food and this place sucks lol the food itself was not good flavor wise. corn cheese was literally just a huge ass pile of corn with cheese (supposed to have mayo under) the meat itself was eh portions were p small honestly and we ordered daechang and it was ass but should've known better than to order bc it's so hard to get it right also, they kept forgetting things. we ordered drinks, waited 20 mins and still didn't get it so we asked, waitress said she forgot to put in the order. we ordered more greens, it took 15 mins for it to come. it was busy but they had full staff so idk what the issue was. most korean places do very well when it comes to fast service at a kbbq spot but this place was mid af not worth what you pay

Favorite Korean restaurant in Manhattan. Affordable lively atmosphere. You will be stuffed before going home. Wonderful staff.

Finally got the chance to come here! There are choices of meat to choose from, we got beef combo, in Large and it was enough to serve 3 people. It had boneless rib, beef brisket and another type of beef. So good! They have a wall of famous Kpop/Korean artists who have eaten her. I believe that says a lot!

Food and service were good. A nice option for a no frills KBBQ spot! They have upstairs and downstairs, plenty of seating.

Got the small Ahgassi combo and really liked the last course, the marinated short ribs. Loved the banchan and free refills. The combos come with free steamed egg and a soup of choice (kimchi, soybean paste or soft tofu). However, I do not recommend the corn cheese plate. The cheese already arrives a bit hardened at the top and it was hard to mix/melt it, so you are essentially just eating corn. The small ahgassi combo is enough for 2. I was told the large combo comes with the same amount of meat as if you were to order the meat portions separately. Staff was attentive, helped grill meats.

Honestly, I felt a bit let down by my experience here - a group of friends and I (4 total) chose to come for a KBBQ night due to the high ratings and were fairly disappointed. There were a lot of open tables for 4 with the BBQ grill in the middle, but they had seated us at a long table in a side room where the grill was to the side, so we were constantly reaching over each other to grab food. Service was pretty slow and forgetful. The meat itself was fine, but the portion did not justify the price at all. Would not recommend going here, there are plenty of better options in the area.

Came to Ahgassi on a Friday night at @9PM, the wait wasnt too long (~20-30mins). It is a bit pricey compared to other gopchang in town, but totally worth it. Super cute decor with floral theme. Banchan is solid!! So many different varieties, free refill too!! Wasnt lot of meat and the egg tasted burnt, lots of fried rice too (we got the gopchang combo for 2 people, sooo full and ended up to go the fried rice:))

K town gem ! Great food and atmosphere, a must when visiting New York , food delicious

On the bones of Kang Ho Dong Baekjong rises this new KBBQ establishment. This place carries your standard KBBQ menu but adds gopchang to the menu which is incredibly popular right now. Unfortunately, my wife and kids don't do gopchang but I will say it looked YUMMY on the neighboring tables. We got standard KBBQ items - beef, pork belly etc. and the meat quality is certainly there. The banchan was also really good although I would've like it better if they refill them. Service here is good and the decor is really unique. Highly recommended if you want to try a new KBBQ spot in Ktown.

Ahgassi Gopchang took over the old ktown baekjong location. They made the tables bigger, and the seating waaaaaaay more comfortable to dine in. Gone are the days where you have to squish together to fit in a table especially for big groups. I made reservations for a Monday early evening and there was no wait. We ordered the ahgassi combo, and a half order of gopchang for 3 people. We left with our bellies full and our hearts happy. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and personable which I always notice in customer service. I love when they engage in conversation with customers. It makes for a better experience for me. Pleasant human interaction is always a plus. 10/10 I do recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped by Ahgassi Gopchang, former home of Baekjeong, on Sunday night to give it a try. They do take reservations and also have a Yelp waitlist - I was able to join the waitlist and gauge my arrival. The wait was about 30-40 minutes at 6:45pm. The interior was revamped with new furniture and wallpaper art, and all tableware was very pretty and on theme. When you enter the front there's a wall of signatures from celebrities ranging from Steven Yeun to Ateez and Jay Park, signed from the LA location of Ahgassi Gopchang. My party of 3 was sat at a table for 4 on the first floor, and right away, service was quick and friendly. The waitress and waiter answered all of our questions and food was out promptly. There was always someone checking on us when we needed something, and refilling our banchans. We ordered the pork combo large (server said it was for 3-4 people), and a side order of daechang (large intestine). This portion was enough to make all of us full full - combo came with a steamed egg and a kimchi or soybean soup. We also got a side of corn cheese (5.99) which I feel I have had better, but it was still good. We also got 2 Hummy soju seltzer cans (peach and Asian pear). Highly recommend Asian pear if you're into alcoholic drinks that barely taste like alcohol! 5%. To be honest, I was very pleased with this place because service was just as you should expect any Korean BBQ place to have -- quick and friendly service, refillable banchans (free salad and free garlic and free sides), and reasonable prices with great flavors. It's hard to meet all of these in NYC these days, with lots of restaurants charging for lettuce and limiting your banchan servings which would have been unheard of anywhere else. The only disappointment we had was not having a good and decent serving of kimchi, I think there was only white kimchi served. Overall I'd highly recommend this place for KBBQ in NYC! I'd definitely come by again, and try the gopchang combo next time. That combo comes with fried rice at the end, which I'm really looking forward to already. Note that you can also ask for aprons to wear if you're wearing light colored clothing!

I've been to the location in LA before and thought the Korean BBQ tasted great, so decided to come visit here. Came here for dinner on a weekend and I waited on the wait list for ~40 minutes. We just walked around until we got the call and were seated right away after we checked in. The restaurant was bustling and super busy, with lots of chatter and music in the background. The staff were friendly and helped give recommendations when we asked. All of the side dishes were delicious, and the soups were amazing as well. We ordered gopjang and marinated beef. I loved the marinated beef - so flavorful and delicious, but it wasn't on the menu so you would have to ask the staff when you order if they have it. It was my first time trying gopjang so I didn't know what to expect but my friend who's had it before said it was okay. I got food poisoning the next day but my friend was okay, so it just might be my body that wasn't used to eating gopjang. I really liked the other meats I've tried in their LA location and I'll be willing to give this place another shot for the rest of the menu! Overall, have to give this spot a good rating still because the food tasted good and we had a good experience in the restaurant.

Best gopchang place ever??? The food is super good, the kimchi jigae and the banquet noodles hit the spot for my Korean art. I love the ambiance here, feels like 명 동 and a downtown Seoul. The service is very speedy and they get your food on time. Will come back for more!

I miss Baekjeong. Service is good. Attentive and responsive. They communicate well on doneness, etc. Though they were quick to misunderstand and assume we were newbies and started over-explaining. But they definitely deserve credit for allowing us to eat and not rushing the next meat on the grill. This seems like a small thing but it was noticed and appreciated. Ambience is fine. They went with a wood and floral theme. The grill vents are appreciated but you'll still smell of smoke. On to the food. I'm not opposed to entrails but with my dining companion abstaining I didn't get a chance to sample their signature offering so the reality is, you should take my review with a grain of salt. Steamed egg and a choice of stew still come with the meat combos but the cheese corn is a separate paid order now. Seafood scallion pancake is fine, crispy with lots of onion and scallions but maybe light on the seafood. The sauce is great though. Looking back now, I think there's less batter so it's not as filling which in context could be a good thing. Banchan are about par, nothing really standing out. Props for them actually offering refills too. Meats are fine but the portions are smaller. A small combo used to be too much food (so we used to skip apps) but here we weren't stuffed with a small combo plus a pancake. They add sprouts to the brisket which soaks up the fat and juices but also prevents the char, which can be a plus or minus. Marinated and unmarinated ribs were good, but it's definitely a smaller portion of unmarinated meat. All in, it was a solid experience but I'm reluctant about going back. It didn't bring the same joy that Baekjeong did, even though objectively they did things well. Good execution but something is missing.

Depending on the table(s) you sit next to, this restaurant can be loud. However, the energy is all part of the fun, especially on a Friday night. The service is great; they do the cooking for you and immediately return with any extra orders. You don't get a lot of meat for the price, but the meat is quality. The marinated meats were my favorite; the flavor was amazing. Paired with rice and soup, it really hits the spot. I would honestly come back just for that marinated pork and kimchi soup.

My partner and I came here for a date night. We had a reservation for 9pm on a Saturday night in August. Despite the city being pretty empty this time of year, the place was jumping. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you want an intimate meal because the volume is loud and the vibes are party time. They will also not seat you until your whole party has arrived so keep that in mind. Noise level aside, our dinner was fantastic. The food was perfectly cooked and the ingredients were high quality. I wish our waiter took the time to explain what all sides on the table were. I've done Korean BBQ several times in the past but was unfamiliar with a few of the sides brought out. Overall we enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend it!

A really cute Korean BBQ restaurant. The aesthetics were cute tea party vibes. We ordered the intestine combo and added beef tongue and fried rice. The meal also included a choice of soup and steamed egg. The service was also really great, it was nice having your meal cooked for you. Beware of popping oil! Overall it was as a really nice meal.

I arrived on Sunday evening and was able to put my name on the waiting list, which was about an hour long. The space is tight and parties are close to each other. The service was attentive and they cook the meat for you. We ordered a set and some extra items. The food was good and we left full, but it nothing special for the price. I would return, but I would probably try other places in the area before returning here.

Solid kbbq spot. Good food and sides. I liked the pork more than the beef. The Ahgassi combo (5 meats) was enough for 4 girls. It came with a soft tofu soup and steamed egg. Typical kbbq environment, tho it did have a lot of pink. Kind of loud - slightly hard to talk. Make sure you have the right amount of ppl for your res - they have diff tables for diff size parties and won't accommodate changes on the spot... or they will but they'll put you on the WL and make you wait lol. Overall would recommend for kbbq.

Great communication ahead of our reservation. Best bibimpap I've had in the city Super cute decor!

Came during their soft opening and was pleasantly surprised. Their waitlist and wait time still need some work though. When getting on the waitlist the hostess told me it would be a 30 minute wait and then after waiting 15 minutes she said it would be 45 minutes. Feel like this could've been more efficient. The food and banchans were great. My favorite cut of meat was the marinated short rib. The large combo was more than enough food for the three of us. The corn was also amazing! The restaurant was really cute inside covered with flowers and very spacious.

Came during one of their soft opening days. There were already people lining up 10 minutes prior to opening. Space is pretty small, so it was good we came early and didn't have to wait for a table. They already had the table set up with banchan as we were seated. There was a good variety of banchan, and they refill it for you as you'd like. They don't have the common red cabbage kimchi that you normally see, but it wasn't a big deal. We got the Ahgassi combo to split between three people. It wasn't a lot of meat, but it was enough to make you not feel hungry. It also came with a soup, a choice between kimchi, tofu, or soybean. We got the kimchi soup that was quite spicy and came with pork belly in the soup. The set also came with steamed egg. The staff grill the meat for you. We opted for the pork jowl over pork collar. I think the pork wasn't the best I've had, but it wasn't bad. The beef was super tender. I loved that the brisket was a little fatty, and it was tender. The marinated short rib was also very tender, the marinated was delicious. I would probably get a side of rice or something carb-y if I came back. I wish their combos were a little different, that they had a mix of meats and offal for one of their combos or that they would let half orders of offal for people who are trying it for the first time.

Ahgassi Gopchang truly excels in offering an authentic Korean BBQ experience. The highlight of my visit was definitely the beef intestines--they were grilled to perfection and packed with bold, savory flavors. In addition to the marinated meats, the restaurant's atmosphere really sets the tone for an immersive meal. With its traditional Korean decor and lively energy, it's the ideal spot whether you're new to Korean BBQ or a seasoned enthusiast. This place delivers exceptional quality and a memorable dining experience that I will definitely return to!

In the former Baekjeong spot, Ahgassi Gopchang delivers on a very similar concept with refreshed decor and a few other changes like mesh steel cooking tops vs previous cast iron one. I kind of like the speed and sear of the metal mesh grill although cast iron provides for a more even heat distribution. We signed into a smart pad at the hostess station which quoted 20-30 wait. We were seated upstairs around 35 minutes in. Ordered all prime beef small combo, for 2. Opted for kimchi jiggae. Everything came out pretty quickly and the table was already set up with all the banchqn side dishes , including white (not spicy) and traditional kimchi, which was a nice touch . Everything was fresh and we didn't mind waiting for the meat to cook while we munched through the banchan. The thinly sliced brisket cooked quickly and had a nice crust. We dipped it in some of the leftover soy and sweet sauce leftover from tofu banchan. The waiter noticed and brought us more dipping sauce. The salt and ssam was already provided as well. This was definitely quite tasty brisket considering it's not a marbled meat. The other cuts of rib and short steak were well and expertly cooked medium rare. The jiggae was more complex than expected. Apparently they use a mix of pork broth and kimchi to make the jiggae more complex. We couldn't finish it. Although we were full I think it's worth paying up to large order for $149 since ordering afterwards meat supplement is ala carte price which is more. Definitely worth coming back !!

We came here recently to try gopchang for the first time. Service was fast and super friendly; they even came us a free corn cheese for reasons unknown! We got the small Modeum Combo and the small Beef Combo for 4 people. Felt like the perfect amount of food. The actual intestines were only just ok. I've had really good intestine in Korea, and these had a much stronger offal taste than those. It was also chewier and not cooked to as crispy a degree as in that in Korea. The beef was actually really good. The marinated short rib was super tender and well seasoned. The banchan were plentiful and good. I wouldn't come back for the gopchang, which somewhat defeats the purpose, but the beef part of the BBQ was great!

Awesome Korean bbq restaurant The good - great service - good cuts of meat - tasty steamed egg - didn't feel rushed The bad - make a reservation else it will be a long wait on a Saturday nite Recommended dishes - Ahgassi combo - marinated short rib - beef mountain tripe

This place used to be Baekjong and is now Ahgassi. The food was decent, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. The service was great, and the interior has a charming tea party vibe.
