Ahgassi Gopchang Korean BBQ

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)

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.

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.

Solid KBBQ in NYC. Service was great, friendly, food were delicious, price point is just right. I really would have loved it even more if they had perrila leafs! Will come back every time I am in town

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 👍

Stumbled into this place because of the awesome aesthetics after work. Loved the meats, loved the service (the dude at the front desk was such a friendly and fun character) and loved the experience. The melon drink was tops!

This place was so much fun and so cute!! The staff were so friendly and helpful with cooking the food and asking if we needed anything. The sides were so good! The salad, melted cheese corn, and the sweet potatoes were my favorite!! All the meat was delicious and tasty! We will definitely be back!

Amazing experience at Ahgassi Gopchang Korean BBQ! The food was absolutely top-notch, especially the gopchang (intestines) which were cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The selection of banchan (side dishes) was also generous and delicious, adding a lot of variety to the meal. The service was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and helpful. The staff made sure everything was cooked just right and were quick to respond to any requests we had. Despite being busy, they never made us feel rushed, and it really enhanced the dining experience.

There were a lot of people dining in on Saturday evening. Nonetheless, the service was still good, and marinated beef was amazing! Recommend coming and visiting!

First time trying koren BBQ and was 100% satisfied. Amazing portions, food and service. Definitely will try again!!

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!

This space is RACIST! Period I just walked by and saw the space. Very beautiful I took some photos to send to a friend and I was going to walk in to ask a question or two an AGGRESSIVE man came out the door before I entered and said " You need help" what? I'm a paying customer. Nope wrong space, I'm not allowed? ok, you don't like people of color. I literally look like a tourist. Do NOT EAT HERE Review on Google as well

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 !!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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:))

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.

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!

Comparable to the LA location for sure! This is a korean celebrity staple rec and it definitely lives up to the hype. We got the small modeum combo and a half order of boneless short rib with fried rice made with our leftovers at the end. Definitely worth getting the fried rice, so delicious especially with the cheese! The area was private and well designed, and they cook the food for you. A huge plus! Glad to have Ahgassi in NY.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Great new kbbq place. Service is good, recommend to try it out! I like the marinated short rib the best

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.

We got to this restaurant in anticipation of filling our belly with some delicious Kbbq. And to our expectations, food was DELICIOUS!! We managed to arrive before the crazy dinner rush, so the wait was not bad. We sat on the 2nd fl and got to order immediately. Got the larger beef combo, a doshirak (lunch box), and a cold noodle with a side of Melon Makgoki cocktail. When an establishment serves a consistent quality of food, that's a huge plus. Started with the thinly sliced brisket (cha-dol), and needless to say, it was gone in a blink of an eye. Then 2 more types of beef, including the marinated galbi meat, which again won the love of the foodies on this table. Along with a very filing meal for three, we got to try the rice wine cocktail (makgoli) in melon flavor. They serve it with a cute green syrup squeeze so you can control the sweetness, how clever! Overall, we enjoyed the delicious meal & the great service by the attentive staff. Can't wait to return again soon.

Amazing food, great service. 100% recommended. The places has great vibez, very colorful. They are very helpful with the menu and with any request you have. The menu is fresh and everything super tasty

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.

Been to a few korean bbq restaurants in NYC and so far, Ahgassi Gopchang is no. 1 on my list. At first, I only tried because of Jin of BTS but he wasn't kidding when he said it's really good.

The food was great and flavorful. I'm glad this is here and renewed! We always have a good time when we come here and the prices are great. You get a lot of food and the kimchi soup is soooo good, the broth is thick, spicy, and sour, that was my favorite part of the meal! Wonderful service and will definitely be back, the ambiance is great for large groups too!

Good Korean barbecue that checks all the boxes. Is a bit pricey compared to other store in the area.

We popped in on a Thursday afternoon for an early dinner/late lunch and lo and behold, the restaurant seemed empty, but Stray Kids were hanging out upstairs after their meal!! My first time having intestines at a KBBQ place and it didn't disappoint! There's a good amount of options for two, which was nice. My only wish is there was an option to balance the amount of intestines and just plain beef options. Huge variety of banchan. I really loved the white kimchi and asked for at least four refills of it during lunch--I wish they sold it so I could just take a jar home! Also really loved the onion side dish for meat and the little salads it came with. They cook the meat for you and take special care, which I appreciated! Most of the intestines were good but there was one I particularly disliked because of the gritty inner filling. I read online that the fancier places remove the insides of the intestine for you, so unfortunately this place did not. I don't think I would opt for that again. The staff pay attention to you to a certain extent at the beginning of the meal but tend to be more on the lax side towards the end, which made it hard to get refills of things later on. Overall the restaurant itself is delish. They pull out all the stops for a grand experience which I really appreciated. It came out to about $52/pp after tip and tax, which wasn't horrible given there was soooo much food (+soup, ban chan, etc). I would definitely come again and take my bf (hopefully not too crazy of a wait if we were to go during more regular hours).

I can't help but compare the experience to baekjeong, the environment is definitely korean "cafe" cute with the new decor they have installed. Their signature beef large intestine is richer than I expected and something that I will order again! However the meats were not as high quality as I remmeber Baekjeong to be and portions seemed smaller. When we asked for our first banchan refill, we felt a bit of an annoyance from our server which wasn't very nice considering it was our first ask and we were a big party of 5. I would still come back but ideally in a smaller group. P.S. I did not like the pork kbbq meats as I did the beef, they got dry very quickly

Long wait but definitely worth it. Easy way to get on the waitlist if you didn't make a reservation. Waited ~1 hour to get seated but def worth it. This new location offers offals in addition to your traditional bbq. The modeum gopchang offers you with the entire intestine with some other offals. Great way to try other parts of the cow. The offals tasted very clean and flavorful. The service here is great as well. It can get pretty loud so be prepared for the loudness. Otherwise be prepared to enjoy a great flavor bomb experience.

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!

"Do you know Aghassi gopchang? It's a Korean restaurant. Better than Korea" -Kim Seokjin, BTS. I haven't been to Korea but I can say that this was delicious. We arrived around 630ish and were seated right away even on a Saturday. There were 3 of us in the party and we had the beef combo. They cook the meat for you. We also got mountain tripe cheese fried rice. The kimchi stew was so delicious. All the Banchan tasted nice and fresh. They are super friendly and make you feel welcomed.

Food was amazing! Service was outstanding. The meats were all fresh and tasteful. Party of four and we ordered quite a lot of food but thank goodness we were able to finish all. They are currently running a promo. Write then a review and you get five dollars off. Would definitely return with family and friends.

Nice ambiance and yummy cuts!! Got the pork and beef combo. Feel spacious and good service. Great for groups or a date. Would come back again!

This place is so freaking good. My boyfriend and I came here for lunch at 3pm and got a table immediately since it was off peak lunch hour. We ordered the Ahgassi Combo small size which comes with brisket, pork belly, pork jowl, and marinated short rib. It also comes with either kimchi, soybean paste, or tofu stew AND a steamed egg. There's also plenty of amazing side dishes and you can ask for white rice to go with the meat. The staff cook for you so you can sit back and relax. I also think it's in general so hilarious that the building is so purple and there's so much pink everywhere haha. If you're a fan of kpop/kdramas, you'll want to take a look at all the celebrities who have dined here and left their signatures at the front. All in all, a really great meal and I would definitely recommend coming here. It's a bit on the pricey side yes, but also it's really not if you consider everything you get from the meat to side dishes and steamed egg and kimchi stew. Ahgassi Gopchang has to be one of my favorite meals in NYC so far! :) Can't wait to come back!

Wowowowowoowowowowowowoowowowowowo This is the best kbbq spot ive had so far Trust me or ill be mad

I really wanted to check out this place. Their service and food were right on point. Fresh, clean and tasty gopchang. We loved how they cooked it for us and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely want to come back to try their meat variety. Their menu has lots of different dishes and lunch was a perfect time to enjoy some quiet time away from hectic k-town crowd.

This is such a cute place. We immediately loved the decor and the vibe. The food was delicious. My favorite was the scallion pancake.

BEST Galbi I've had in NYC (and I've had my fair share of it)! I wish I could give this place 6 stars. I was doubtful when Ahgassi Gopchang opened up, partly because I thought they specialize in gopchang and other types of intestines. To my surprise, their regular Kbbq menu is phenomenal! Ahgassi Combo is the way to go if you wanna try a wide variety of beef and pork, along with a side stew. Unlike many Korean bbq places that serve "fatty beef" or "beef belly" as part of their combo, Ahgassi actually serves real brisket! Their pork belly and jowl were good also, but the highlight is the perfectly seasoned (not too sweet not too salty) Beef Galbi. The service is great, and our table was checked on about every 5 minutes by servers making sure our meat is being cooked perfectly. I'm so glad to have found a new favorite Kbbq spot in K-town!
