Barn Joo Nomad

Great place. They have happy hours every day in food and drinks, this include oysters for $1 each. Service was friendly and attentive and we came without reservation and got a table but it seems so get crowded. We came for a quick bite so we had the popcorn chicken that was good and flavorful, some oysters and a glass of wine that was also included in the happy hour. Thanks for everything.

I recently visited a small yet charming restaurant that left a lasting impression. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a great vibe that made the space feel vibrant and alive. The music added just the right touch, perfectly complementing the ambiance without being overpowering. The food was delicious, clearly made with care and attention to detail, and the cocktails were equally impressive. They didn’t hold back on the alcohol, so each drink packed a flavorful punch. It’s clear this place values quality in everything they serve. If you’re looking for an intimate spot with great music, excellent food, and strong cocktails, this is definitely worth a visit!

I'm a fan of this spot for its fantastic happy hour deals and tasty small plates. The service is no-frills, with a classic New York attitude - don't expect a warm welcome. However, the bartender's spicy personality (matching her spiky hair!) is part of the charm. Drinks are consistently well-made, making it a great spot to grab a drink.

After my friends and I had fun in Koreatown, we hopped right over to Barn Joo Nomad. Arriving just before their happy hour ends, we were able to order some delicious cocktails. Not only are they refreshing, but the sweetness were perfectly balanced with the strong alcohol taste. The atmosphere were lively and relaxing. My friends and I were able to converse amongst ourselves without being overwhelmed by conversations from neighboring tables. As for the food, it was beyond delicious. We ordered several small appetizers to share, while having a main entrée for ourselves. The Truffle Fries were sweet and salty. You can enjoy them with or without the condiments. The Braised Pork Belly were so tender. It melts in your mouth and there is a good portion of meat with a strip of fat on top. The real kicker, was the Pasta Nomad Noir. The squid-ink pasta was a jaw dropper. Not just of its color, but the perfect blend of chili oil and seafood. I definitely look forward to coming back to try more of their menu. As I frequent Koreatown, it seems like I will be coming back sooner, rather than later!

We visited Barn Joo Nomad during happy hour and were absolutely blown away by the experience! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant yet cozy atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The oyster special during happy hour was a highlight—so fresh and delicious that it felt like they were straight from the sea. The open rolls (spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and crispy fish) were nothing short of immaculate. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was stunning. The popcorn chicken and truffle fries were perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor, making for ideal shareable plates. The braised pork belly was a dream tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of fat and served right on top of a grill to maintain its warmth. The Galbi hot stone bowl was a showstopper, both visually and in taste, with rich flavours that left us wanting more. The Korean army soup was hearty and delicious, though it could have been a touch more authentic. Still, a very enjoyable dish. The Pasta Nomad Noir stole the show! The squid ink pasta was creamy, rich, and an absolute must-try. The cocktails were as impressive as the food! The cucumber tonic was refreshing and perfectly balanced, while the lychee martini was a delightful mix of sweet and exotic. Barn Joo Nomad exceeded all expectations with its creative dishes, impeccable flavors, and beautiful presentations. Whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or just looking for a memorable dining experience, this is the place to be. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

Delicious food but upstairs is not maintained well. No music so we can hear everything the other tables are saying... they were so rude and so loud. Had to ask the waitress to put some music on because the other table was so loud and my ears were hurting. I can't believe Barn Joo didn't do anything about it. I don't think I will be coming back..

Crystal W the server is wonderful. Attentive, quick, just perfect. The food… if you get lucky enough to get the lunch specials do it!! Above and beyond this was a 10/10 place. Will be back. Price was perfect, good food, great service. Thank you!

walked in around 5:30pm. Waited a while at the door until got seated down. It’s 24 Celsius outside. The waitress then left without leaving us any water. The kind neighbor lady at the bar table saw us trying to get the waitress, and asked the bartender to call the waitress to take our order. It was during happy hour. There was oysters special and 2 cocktail specials. Both were good, except that the waitress accidentally poured some of the lychee martini out… Without apologizing nor exchanging for us. Checking out was pretty fast. I guess they should hire more staffs during busy hours, and train them to replace a drink if it’s was poured out accidentally by them.

Absolutely loved this spot, stumbled upon it on Yelp and had to try it. Highly recommend going for happy hour, the deals are just too good to pass up! We went during Halloween and they had the whole place decorated with the theme which was super cute. They played awesome music the whole time which is always a plus for every meal. The bento boxes on the lunch menu are HUGE, and we ended up staying long enough into happy hour where we got drink deals and even more food deals. They have $1 oysters which I am always on the hunt for!! Everything we ordered was amazing: - Uni Bibimbap Combo Set - Creamy Kimchi Shrimp Udon Combo Set - Chicken Wings - Truffle Fries - Potato Croquette Service was great, super friendly and the food came out so fast. We had such a great experience and would definitely come back with more friends :)

I had a delightful experience here. My server greeted us at the door and was super friendly, we were sat right away and were 20 minutes early to the reservation. Great place for a quick and relaxed bite as service is fast as well. The chicken wings are amazing! Super crispy outside soft on the inside. I love a soy garlic chicken wing so got those but also got citron. I was unexpectedly blown away by the citron flavor and liked it better than the soy garlic but both were very good. Got an appetizer with rice cakes cheese and truffle which was also tasty.

Fun Korean fusion in Korea town. A beautiful little shop with cute decor and a fun vibe. The sashimi trio had fun flavors and beautiful plating, but I wish the fish would have tasted fresher. The Drunken Tiger Cocktail was a little on the juicy side and could have been served colder. But the flavors were great. The Braided Pork Belly is where the we were impressed. It's delivered on a sizzling Cast Iron Bowl that stays heated. It was like when the table next to you orders fajitas and you change your order. The sauce was a fascinating pairing. I would return because of this dish.

Great spot in general for a good time with a lot of seating available and has the option to do KBBQ or just a la carte and you are sitting away from the bbq if you do ala carte. Highly recommend the bibimbap as its made with quinoa and has a great flavor. Could eat a bowl by myself.

So delicious!! Got some items from the HH menu, the $1 oysters, popcorn chicken and crispy tofu. Also from the regular menu, tried the creamy kimchi shrimp udon & tiger roll - amazing!! Service was great so friendly and attentive, gets pretty busy so recommend a reservation, I really enjoyed the food & reasonably priced, so I will be back again!

Came here for girl dinnerrr on an early friday night. We ate at the second floor which was nice and quiet, I thought the decor was really cute lol. I ordered two drinks-the cucumber tonic and the yuzu blossom. They were both good drinks, nothing amazing but were tasty. They have a happy hour special for oysters everyday from 4-7 PM, $1 per oyster. I am a sucker for an oyster deal so was really happy about this. For my main I got the creamy kimchi udon which was so decadent and yummy! You can adjust the spice level but I got it spicy which helps to cut the creaminess of it. It was a good portion too so I could take half to enjoy for leftovers :) My friends got the open roll trio set which is a great deal for $20! This was a great casual place for dinner that I'll be returning to when I'm next in KTown!

Barn Joo is a Korean gastropub with three locations in Manhattan. I came here with some friends for food and drinks. The place is clean and modern but we found the menu to be lacking. The food menu has only the basics of Korean food with bowls of bimbimpap, different gimbap (Korean sushi) rolls, and a bunch of tapas. The drink menu is a mix of different cocktails like margaritas and martinis. The tapas are a mix of American and Asian appetizers like dumplings, Korean fried chicken, calamari, and truffle fries. While the goof we had was tasty, those coming here for Korean food will be disappointed. I would have much rather gone to a larger restaurant in Koreatown with a full menu of Korean food and drink.

This place is great for small parties but if you call ahead and make a reservation they could possibly accommodate larger groups (6-8 people). We called ahead for a table for 3 and when we arrived we didn't wait long. They even had a booster seat for our toddler. We started off with the truffle fries, calamari + nuts, and lychee martini. All were so yummy. We had the creamy kimchi udon and the fisherman's soup. It was full of flavor. We will definitely return. The servers were so nice and helpful. Our daughter loved the food as well!

We stumbled upon Barn Joo's 3rd location in the city today after the gym. We were delighted to discover that they have a happy hour daily from 4-6 pm, and $1 oysters from 4-7 pm. We opted to sit at the bar, and our bartender, Jesse, was very attentive. The happy hour cocktail menu here was slightly different from the one at the Union Square location. I ordered my usual beeline, while my partner went for the lychee martini. Both drinks were delicious, but the lychee martini was on the sweeter side. We also decided to take advantage of the happy hour food menu and ordered the popcorn chicken and crunchy tofu. Both dishes were incredibly tasty. As for the oysters, they were fresh but slightly smaller in size. The first floor of the restaurant had plenty of seating, with additional seating available on the second floor. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, don't miss out on this gem of a restaurant.

Tonight I just wanted to get something quick to eat near my hotel. I saw this place Barn Joo Nomad at 816 6th Ave. New York. I have to admit I was lured in by the $1 oysters for happy hour, I always love oysters but unfortunately those were not great, oh well at least it was cheap. I was sitting at the bar and asked the barman what were the open rolls on the menu as I never had those before, I just wanted an explanation and he looked at me like I was an idiot, not the friendliest for sure, he looked miserable the whole time, I guess you cannot always be happy but hey make an effort as it is not my fault if you are in a bad mood and you still expect a tip for the service. In any case the open rolls were really good. I could have ordered more but because of the atmosphere I just left, sometimes it is not just about the food, good service can make the whole experience better.

I can't express how delicious this dinner was and that was after a day with a full lunch. Kimchi Udon pasta was worth the two lactaid pills lol. Cheese rice cake was double whammy. Highly recommend the pork belly. Somehow still had room for dessert - the cheese cake is delectable. I wish I have time to take more pics but I'm too busy eating the place is cute and service is impeccable. We stayed until closing and they're so nice to us. Would 10/10 come back here

came for a party of three. The interior finishes feel very warm, the wood columns and ceiling look very interesting. It is a very cozy space overall, thanks to the size of the bar and number of seats. Great for a small party, specifically couples rather than a big party. We had soft-shell crabs, oysters (served after 4pm), salads, three sashimi set, and calamari. Surprisingly none of them disappointed us; fresh, visually pleasing, well-paired with dressings. The drink menu includes Draft Beers, Cocktails and some high-end whiskeys. We started with Toki-based high ball, Kona Golden Ale, and finished with a glass of Yamazaki. Highly recommended.

Food was delicious. I got the uni bibimbap, I loved the combination of flavors. The uni seemed a little funky but that's uni for you; personally I'd try the sashimi bibimbap next time. The cold tofu appetizer was fantastic. My bf loved his seafood noodles, the crab was nearly impossible to eat without crab cracking tools. I do with there were more gluten free options marked on the menu. The music, however--- horrible for dining! It was like being at a club. Loud and extremely high-tempo, upbeat music created the weirdest ambiance. The food is so unusual and high class and the music was so intense and clubby, it kind of ruined the experience for me. Five stars for food, 0 stars for ambiance marred by the music.

Convenient location. Nice vibe and friendly service. We came mainly for the $1 oyster during happy hours, and the oysters don't disappoint. But the other dishes (we ordered two different stone soups) are overpriced standard fare.

I came to Barn Joo Nomad with a friend on a Saturday night. I have been to Barn Joo 35 before and this spot was a lot smaller. I wasn't as big of a fan of the layout and we were seated near the entrance so it was a bit chilly. The waiter brought out sparking water which was interesting since usually the default is tap. We ordered the pasta nomad noir and the galbi hot stone bowl. Both dishes were so so yummy. The pasta nomad noir featured a black pasta packed with various seafood items, from calamari to mussels. The galbi hot stone bowl featured galbi and vegetables atop a bed of rice but the ingredients mixed together to provide a variety of textures which came together cohesively. Overall, super impressed with the meal!

This place has plenty of space (there's an upstairs) and solid service. I would say the food is on the pricier side and smaller portions. Like the army stew comes in a traditional bowl for tofu soup, usually I expect this to be a larger pot that is shareable. It was quite spicy (in a good way) and I was expecting some spam but it was mainly Vienna sausage and meatballs. I didn't get to try the hand rolls although they look good. Speaking only for their army stew, I think there are other places around the area that does it better.

Maybe for happy hour? The food was pretty good, the cast iron bites had the most flavor. The drinks are tiny, weak, and expensive. The worst part though was the service. Waited a long time for absolutely everything, even water, because they literally had one server for the entire first floor (inside and out). Gorgeous restaurant if that's any consolation.

This was a casual spot with a small bar and a few tables. There also appeared to be outdoor seating when the weather was suitable. The menu offered creative Korean inspired dishes and snacks. The service was friendly while the food came out promptly. Three different appetizers were ordered and shared, the trio set of open rolls ($20), homemade steamed dumplings ($12), and steamed buns ($16). There was also a cup of soup that came that was warm and refreshing. The open rolls that were chosen were crab meat, galbi, and salmon. If I were to explain these, they were essentially "sushi tacos." Each one was also filled to capacity with filling. The crab had a crab meat mix, cucumber, daikon, sweet potato crunch, microgreens, and tobiko. This was very tasty. The crab meat appeared fresh and went well with the crunch from the sweet potato. The galbi consisted of beef short rib, galbi sauce, cucumber, Asian pear, sweet potato crunch, microgreen, and chojang. This was even better. The beef was tender while the pear gave just enough sweetness where it did not overpower the roll. Finally, the salmon had tartar sauce, tobiko, microgreen, and a sweet potato crunch. This was definitely my favorite one even if it was the simplest. The salmon seemed to be of great quality and that made all the difference. The three dumplings were filled with pork and of good size. These were solid. The pork flavor was just right, and the dumpling texture stood out as it was not too hard or soft. Regarding the steamed buns, we opted to go with a short rib filing. They came with cucumber, chayote, mixed greens, tomato, tartar, and a sweet chili sauce. These were much bigger than I thought they would be, and they were great as well. The short rib like the open roll was tender and flavorful while the actual bun held up with all the toppings that were there. I thought the buns could have been a tad more flavorful, but hardly an issue. It was an all-around great couple of dishes. Will I go back? Definitely.

We had an enjoyable time here. Good service and food was very tasty. Only recommendation, mark some items spicy that are. Chili pepper needs to be on the kimchi shrimp udon dish ;) was super spicy.

Very cute restaurant with calm lighting comfortable seats and cozy vibes. We sat at the bar and waited for a long time to get a table. There were tables open, but there was a big party in the middle gathering all of the attention of the staff. Once seated it took a long time to get a glass of wine, and to place my order. I wasn't in a rush, but wasn't planning on being at the restaurant for 1.5 hour for 2 small app size dishes. The overall presentation of the food was amazing. There were 2 pieces of the meat that were very fatty and grizzly making it impossible to eat. Was only a bummer because there are not many pieces to begin with. I am glad I tried it, but unfortunately came at the wrong time to receive poor service, would rather have been turned away.

I am a BIG FAN of the dinner I had here!! The service was quick and there was no wait on a Saturday at 8 PM surprisingly. This seems to be a great date spot since their tables are primarily for two. My boyfriend and I tried the oysters to start. I was IMPRESSED to see how dressed up and high quality these were for $1.79! Bell peppers, onion, sprouts, and various sauces... this was better than most oysters you could find for triple the price! The garlic cocktail sauce was tasty and the oysters were incredibly fresh. We also tried the Sashimi Bibimbap, which had a generous portion of fish. They give the gochujang on the side, which is considerate. Everything was fresh and had a lot of texture. I definitely recommend the Uni Bibimbap though - especially with the hot stone bowl! This was heavenly! Lots of fish roe (three kinds!!) and they gave about 4-5 pieces of uni - which is great for the price. The raw egg added a lot of depth to the cripsy rice as well. Overall, an amazing meal! Sooo good I came back here twice in a week.

Another great meal at Barn Joo in Nomad! This Korean Pub has really become our go to when in Nomad. They consistently serve up great food and drinks in a great location at the corner of 28th and 6th Ave. Korean pub dishes we love include Tteok + Cheese (rice cake, corn, olives in a bowl of melted cheeses), Korean hot & spicy wings (must try) and Spicy Tuna "open roll" (sort of like tuna tartare wrapped in a single seaweed sheet). It's all good! Highly recommend!

I've been many times to Barn Joo Nomad and every time the experience has been amazing, the drinks are awesome (I always go for the lyche martini, shout-out for my guy Jessie he is an amazing bartender), I've tried many dishes on the menu and they never disappoint, on this visit I ordered my favorite dish the sashimi trio and it was heavenly as always. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, specially the manager Michael, he makes us feel always welcome on every visit. Overall if you are looking for a great place with good food, drinks, service and atmosphere Barn Joo Nomad is definitely the place to go.

This is a smaller version of the original barn joo. The service was great and the food was also good. There was some portions that were really small and some pretty decent sized. The atmosphere of the place is friendly. Overall good but nothing special.

I've been to Barn Joo Union Sq location quite a few years ago, and this is the first time I've been to the Nomad location. I didn't know they have a second floor. We got there a little past 8pm without a reservation on a rainy Friday night and got seated right away. We ordered yuzu beer, sashimi trio, nomad bite, fisherman's soup, and Bourbon bread pudding. All the dishes we had were delicious. The fisherman's soup has regular or spicy option, and we ordered the regular option, but it tastes spicy, so they might have mixed up the order. We finished the soup regardless. The service was ok. They didn't refill the water until we asked.

DELICIOUS FOOD. Creamy kimchi udon was sooooo good. So creamy, savory, and flavorful. Also the galbi was also SOOO DELICIOUS. Beef was so flavorful and soft. Cooked to perfection. I love stone bibimbap. Drinks were strong and delicious also. We got a free shot on the house. Presentation was nice. Service was good. Will deff be back

I recently visited this gastropub and unfortunately, I can't say I had a great experience. While the food looked nice, the taste just wasn't there, especially for the price. The oysters were disappointingly tiny and the hot stone galbi bowl should have been crispy but instead was just soggy, oily, and lacking flavor. Our friend tried the yuk gae jang, but it was watery and bland. To make matters worse, the staff was often inattentive and seemed to give us rude glares. We had to repeatedly ask for water, but they still didn't bring us enough jugs. The TVs were playing loud nature noises, which was odd and distracting. The only saving grace was the live music, which was enjoyable, but unfortunately, it was too loud to hold a conversation. To add insult to injury, when we got the bill, we saw there was a mandatory 25% tip which we felt was excessive given the poor service and underwhelming food. Overall, I found this restaurant to be significantly overpriced and would not come back.

Been there twice and both times it was a good experience. The food was good and service was nice. It was not spectacular but good for price. It's a nice meet up spot with a friend for drinks.

I loved the food I ordered but I am writing the review about the kimchi because it was so good that I ate two large bowls of it. And then came back the next night... to eat it again. It's tangy, fresh and lovely in that it's served layered like a korean kimchi lasagna... between each cabbage leaf is the Gochugaru paste. Yum! I also ordered and loved the Fisherman's stew - great broth and fresh tasting seafood. It's a light refreshing dish. I also ordered the Tiger cocktail with turmeric and orange. Refreshing and also obsess worthy. More could be said about the good food but I had to post so people know about the kimchi... youre welcome.

Stopped by for a quick lunch in between meetings. Ordered the yuzu lemonade and few tapas plates. I wish I took photos but I was enjoying everything a little too much! My favorite dish was the tteok. It was cheesy chewy goodness. The fried marinaded tofu was also out of this world. Service was phenomenal and I loved that they had all the windows open to an allow the warm summer breeze through. Can't wait to visit again (and take pictures next time!)

We squeezed 5 of us including a 1year old into a tiny table blocking the path to the bathroom for lunch on our last day in NY. Very hungry and looking for an epic experience and although a tad uncomfortable, once the food arrived...it was worth it 100%. I can't wait for an excuse to go back to NY just to visit Nomad again!!!!

I wasn't a fan of Barn Joo Nomad unfortunately, I had better experiences at Barn Joo 35. Buns were nothing special, the open rolls (handrolls) were really bad. The yellowtail was fishy (didn't taste fresh). The spicy tuna was awful, like a tuna salad. Yuck, I don't know why it was cooked. I would never expect cooked tuna in a hand roll like this. The uni didn't taste fresh either. Tiger roll was the only thing I liked here, everything else was drowning in spicy mayo.

Came with friends for dinner and their rolls were so good - not sure what the veggie they used was, but it complimented the toppings well. We stopped by with no reservation Saturday night and they seated us immediately. We also got the kimchi udon which I recommend too!

An amazing experience. Great staff and delicious delicious food. My daughter and I went here before a concert at MSG and have been talking about it since. The $1 oyster happy hour ( not exclusively at the bar) was a deal. We had their soy garlic wings which were out of this world. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We got the octopus grill and fresh Kim chi. So good! The cocktails were amazing as well. Will be back. Many times over. Also the playlist was fire!

Discovered this spot when we decided we couldn't stand on the line for Kazu Nori The Original Handroll Bar. They sat us next to the window when we said we didn't have a reservation. It was pretty empty except for the bar. The size of the tables are on the smaller end and because we were sitting right next to the bar it was a bit tight. Luckily my friend and I are thin so it was fine. They bring you a clean water bottle along with cups/plates/utensils. They refill it too. We both ordered the sashimi bbim bbim bap ($25) as our mains and corn cheese ($15) as a side which didn't disappoint. It is pricey, but delicious. The service is great and the ambiance is cozy and trendy. I will be coming back in the future.

Came here because my friends from out of town wanted to check this place out. They do have other locations. Which I believe that I checked out pre covid. But each have different menu and a vibe to it. We met up at 6:30pm so reservations weren't necessary. However, more people started coming in around 7pm. Anyways, the service was great and everything, but the food was a bit lacking. I totally get the price point as it is the city. What do you expect as we all need to pay the bills??!! For food we ordered the open rolls which you can order 3 of a kind or 3 different versions or just one. Asked the waiter for his top 3 and we got those. I think an open roll is similar to a handroll. But perhaps the handroll is more filling? Got the tiger roll to share amongst the group too which was alright. The krispy seafood paella felt like it was missing something. A bit bland to me. All in all, I'm probably not going back as there's tons of restaurants in the area with better food.

I've been here twice and love it. The service is always attentive and the open rolls are incredibly delicious. It's a convenient easy location in Nomad. They have some unique and delicious cocktails too.

Korean fusion seems to be all the craze nowadays, and I'm so glad to have found another set of yummy restaurants to add to my go-to list! Barn Joo has three locations, and I'm told that the one we went to (in Nomad) is more suited for a full meal (as opposed to a more drinks vibe at the Ktown location). My friend and I shared the yuk gae jang ramyun and the creamy kimchi udon. The yuk gae jang was really fragrant - a perfect broth for such a cold night - and I really liked the shredded beef, which had a really good flavour and was very tender. This is the first time I've had yuk gae jang with ramyun (usually with glass noodles instead) but I am definitely a fan! It makes the dish feel more like a stew than a broth which worked really well with all the various veggies (I learned what bracken was during this meal). The udon was so yummy, too! Definitely a really powerful example of fusion cuisine, where the taste fluctuated between kimchi / stir-fried udon in some bites, and pasta carbonara in others. The sauce was not very spicy but had a nice depth, and all of the various toppings (tobiko, cheese, shrimp) really created a lot of neat combinations of flavours and textures. At first I thought the focaccia was a strange addition, but it worked surprisingly well to complement the creamy sauce and crunchy kimchi (and the bread was delicious in and of itself, too). Portion sizes were so big - we barely finished (if at all) and were absolutely stuffed by the end of our meal. Price point fantastic too, and between all that and trying all the other appetising options on the menu, I can't wait for my next visit :)

Surprisingly was not too crowded on a Friday night and we were seated immediately. The happy hour oysters are a must if you come here. They are extremely fresh and sweet. We also got the stone/regular bibimbap and truffle fries. I got the stone bibimbap which was delicious and I would definitely get it again. The truffle fries were also a good snack while we waited for our food. Overall, great ambiance and food!

Great spot in nomad for great Korean fusion food! I would come back for the drinks! Food: they have lunch specials even on the weekends, which is exciting! I got the crispy chicken burger, which honestly hit the spot! It was so well made and the Korean touch to a typical western dish was amazing! It came with these really crispy fries and I got the yuzu lemonade (very delicious). The chicken krispy paella was probably my favorite dish! So we'll seasoned and actually loved the crispiness of both the rice and chicken! The hwe bibimbap was the perfect summer treat! With a lot of veggies and a good amount of fish, it definitely felt more On the healthy/ lighter side! Price: reasonable given the sizes - expect to pay ~35 for a dish! Ambience: I loved the spot itself! It had this warmness about it that made it feel cozy! Service: good service! Something I found interesting was that they brought the dishes out as they were ready (as opposed to when everyone's order was ready)!

Okay, I was so surprised by this place and I mean it in a good way. I was out shopping and needed a little pick me up and this happened to be nearby so we walked in. The moment we got in we were greeted and attended very quickly. I ordered 3 of their hand rolls: Uni, spicy salmon and yellowtail. All 3 rolls were absolutely incredible but you MUST get the Uni roll. The way it melted in my mouth, I was in love. Prices I thought were reasonable as well. Definitely a must try!

We sat outside and it was very hot in the outdoor seating area. Service was good. The food is good, but is not very filling for the price. They have oysters as part of their happy hour menu. The open rolls are all unique and taste great!

Came here with a friend and I enjoyed it! I was impressed by the menu -- a lot of very creative dishes and I thought there was a lot of creativity which stood out to me. I ordered the soft shell crab to share and then the bibimbap. Both were great! Enjoyed the crab and the sauce that came with it. Would recommend! They had some pretty interesting looking cocktails too which I'll have to come back to try. Great service and good vibe for date night of friendly hang.

Amazing food in NYC. The food was tasty. The restaurant was loud but the service was good.

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The highlight for me was definitely their lunch specials. The variety of dishes they offer during lunch is impressive, and the quality of the food is top-notch. In addition to the delicious food, the cocktails were a delightful surprise. The mixologists here really know their craft. I tried a few different cocktails, and each one was expertly balanced and incredibly flavorful. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Love the big moon. Big moon vibes. Loved the menu too -- Korean fusion with lots of seafood! Uni Bibimbap came in a stone pot but wow it was super hot. Lots of yummy veggies and delicious things going on! Which kinda overwhelmed the uni a bit -- while presentatin was beautiful, the composition could have centered the uni a bit more. Portion is huge like the giant moon behind me. Unagi taco! The taco was super cute and the unagi is front and center! I think the Uni Bibimbap was really unique and I'm so glad I got it. Maybe I'll get it cold next time though since it was too hot on an already hot evening.

I stayed at the Fairfield Inn across the street and came to Barn Joo three days in a row! Yes, a dozen oysters per day for three days! Their $1 oysters during 4-7pm was too hard to pass up. They were always clean, fresh-tasting, and delicious! The staff is welcoming and attentive, and the space is lively whether it's 4pm or dinner time. We also tried the uni bibimbap and while it was soooo delicious with all the veggies and fish roe, I wanted more uni since the flavor was really masked once you mix the bowl. They have two uni donburi and we opted fkr the cold one instead of the stone pot one because i love roe.

Amazing, great oysters for happy hour. Fresh and top notch!!! The hand rolls were amazing and the uni was so fresh and good!!!

Sushi taco trios were very good and the tofu salad. Service was excellent too. And we got wet napkins, thumbs up.
