Ahgassi Gopchang Korean BBQ

I came here with my girlfriend on a Saturday, and it was 120% booked. So, make sure to secure a reservation. Despite being busy, they allowed us to push back our reservation by 15 min after we called ahead and left a message. The food is pricey, but the quality is premium. The Marinated Beef Short Rib was delicious and tender, the Beef Large Intestine just melted in my mouth, and the drinks complemented the meal well. The servers cook for you, so we didn't have to worry about that. The service was good, but because it was so busy, our server neglected our grill for a bit and burned our large intestines. He promptly took it away and got it replaced. The manager was very apologetic. However, the overall experience was great. The interior is very clean and the vibes are good. I'll probably come back to try some of their combos.

Best meal I had in 2025 so far! It’s even better than what I had in Seoul! The small intestine were really crispy and easy to chew, the big ones so fat and juicy. And the fried rice in the end completed the whole thing.

This is a very nice place for K BBQ. High quality meats. Clean facilities. Nice staff that cooks the meat for you on there grill at your table. Manhattan prices so bring your credit cards 💳. Always busy so be prepared to wait. Give this place a try. We will definitely be going back.

I love gopchang and love it here! The intestines were well seasoned, and we also ordered pork jowl and it was so good! Recommend to add $10 for the fried rice with cheese. The portion here is generous, and the banchans were delicious as well! I’m obsessed with their honey potato banchan😂 service was great!

I HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME! Staff is welcoming and accommodating! Asked right away about allergies and I had no peanut problems! Food is beyond amazing, best meat I’ve ever had in my life. (And great drinks!) I had a great birthday and definitely plan to come in the future. Also good music at a hood volume too okay now I’m done lol

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)

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!

Came for late dinner, and such an amazing place for Korean BBQ. The owner was so kind to seat us. The table was all set with the veggie appies and sauces. The combo we got was very delish and filling! The service was amazing and best compared to many Korean restaurants we've been to across the globe. Highly recommended!

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

We were really excited to try this KBBQ spot from LA and it lived up to its expectations! From the moment you walk in, the interior is pleasantly intricate and beautiful. The restaurant is well ventilated so you don't smell the barbecue smoke. We ordered the Ahgassi Combo to share between three people and we were very content with the amount! It was a large portion of meat and could be shared among four people. The refillable banchans were all delicious and the staff were super diligent on refilling them so we barely had to ask because they were so attentive! They cook the meat for you too. Overall, this is definitely a delightful addition to Koreatown and if they can keep the quality at this level, I can see it remaining a popular place!

We came here for a weekday lunch with a party of four. We made a reservation but doesn't seem like one is necessary - there were quite a few empty tables around us. The interior of the restaurant is very lively and bright, setting the tone for a great meal. Each table and space is a bit smaller and cozier than other KBBQ restaurants I've been to. Their ventilation system works well, so you won't leave the place smelling like smoke - a major plus for a BBQ spot. While the meat portions here are not super large, the quality of each meat is very good, as all our meats were very flavorful and juicy. We ordered a large Ahgassi combo for four people, and we all left feeling content, not stuffed. The cold side dishes are normal for a KBBQ restaurant, and the kimchi stew and steamed egg were also good. We also ordered a fried rice which I would recommend. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They make sure your grill is always fresh and hot. Our server did burn a bit of our bean sprouts, but our meat was cooked to perfection. While Ahgassi Gopchang leans toward the pricier side, it's nothing unexpected for a premium KBBQ restaurant in NYC. Overall, I recommend trying out Ahgassi Gopchang if you're in the mood for some KBBQ but don't want to become nauseous from overreating like at an AYCE place. There were also some solo diners at the tables near us, so this spot is perfect for group dinners, families, and solo foodies alike!

Been seeing/hearing much of Ahgassi and was finally able to try it out, thank goodness we made reservations. Oddly, it's known for their Gopchang right? It's in its name but I feel they push the meats more than the offal. I saw most tables ordering the meats and not so much the intestines. The banchan was kind of lacking too. They gave a huge piece of sweet potato, you can't cut it with chopsticks and a spoon and since it's one big chunk, no one wants to work for it. The soybean stew was very salty. The salad was nice and refreshing. With that said, I feel they are just average on both ends. I didn't think the beef/pork or the intestines stood out. It's good overall, and I like they have both to offer (most ppl aren't intestine fans). I totally understand the Manhattan pricing, I didn't think the amount eaten was worth the value. Me, living in Flushing, would say that you get more bang for your buck in Flushing.

Solid KBBQ. The service was good and the staff was attentive to our needs, refilling our banchan, and cooking our meat. We got the Ahgassi combo for our group of 5 as well as an order of cheese corn and spicy rice cake, which was more than enough food. The aesthetic of the store was cute, which was a plus. Overall it was a pretty good KBBQ experience, but it didn't "wow" me.

I went here for the first time for gopchang and was slightly disappointed. This may have been because I like big intestines more than the small ones, so I did not enjoy my meal. I went two other times for korean bbq though, and I enjoyed it much more. I got the premium combo the most recent time, and my partner and I were skeptical if we were going to get full from the food. Fortunately, we were! However, my partner proceeded to get food poisoning. We are unsure if it's from the restaurant, but it seems that our experience has been hit or miss because I enjoyed my second time I was there.

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.

Amazing service and food! They cooked the meat right in front of you and the sides are all so flavorful and fresh. The server also took time to explain each dish and was super helpful!! My friend told them it was my birthday and they gave me a free makgeolli shot on the house (with a candle!) and sang happy birthday! The drinks are also so good!! I would come back again with more people since I ate so much I almost burst haha I wish I took more pictures of the food but TRUST it was GOOD!!!

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 $$$

We were visiting NYC over a long weekend. 4 of us ate here and absolutely loved it! My son has eaten at a lot of places like this, having live in Seattle for some time. He said that this one was the best. I believe that we got the Aghassi combo and added small intestine. The server helped us out so much with the sauces, etc. He did a great job. The food tasted great. And the vent worked so well. No smoke smell on us at all, that we could tell. I highly recommend this place.

Super busy! But service was quick and friendly. The ambience was bustling and casual. We ordered the beef combo and highly recommend it for the steak and boneless short rib. So soft and juicy! The banchan were good too! They seemed fresh! The soft tofu stew was a great accompaniment. The yogurt soju cocktail I ordered was so refreshing and tasty! I wanted a second one! But needed to refrain. I would come back!

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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:))

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

I was coming to this establishment since 2014, when its name was Kang Ho Dang Baek Jong. They have done a complete renovation and rebranding. There is always plenty of Bon Chon. Our server(John) was attentive and friendly. We ordered corn with melted cheese, Stone Bowl GOP Dol Bibimbap, Dwen Jang Stew. There was so much food that we were able to take home leftovers. I'll continue to recommend this great establishment to everyone.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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 !!
