The brisket was fairly average, and the pork was just okay—I’ve had better. The galbi was the worst; it had a strange aftertaste that clearly indicated it wasn’t fresh and had been frozen.

We tried a lot of galbi and several other dishes, all of which we loved! I can’t wait to return soon!

The staff were exceptionally friendly and communicated with us in Mandarin, sharing their enthusiasm for food and the festive season. As a special holiday treat, we were served complimentary porridge and acorn jelly, but we were so full that we couldn't finish it all. The seafood pancake was enormous and incredibly crispy! The fish we ordered was perfectly crispy and complemented by a delicious sauce, while the soup was rich in flavor. Don't miss out on the side dishes; some of them are unique compared to what you typically find at Korean restaurants in Manhattan!

The service was outstanding—both ladies who served us were sweet, kind, and friendly. We ordered our usual dishes, and they were all excellent. We had originally come to Flushing with the intention of visiting our regular spot, but it was closed. So, we chose Mapo instead, and we’re so glad we did. Everything was superb, and we had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back!

The servers are very cold, other customers were told goodbye upon leaving and we weren?t. We love Korean BBQ and I will be looking for a new place to frequent. It?s not right that Asian customers get treated better than others. I have noticed this before when coming here but always wanted to give it another chance. After today, I?m done. Especially when one is spending close to $200 for dinner.

The beef is good and the serving is also good. They give a lot of side dishes and i love everything. Recommend for brunch and dinner with friends or family. read more The beef is good and the serving is also good. They give a lot of side dishes and i love everything.

The waitstaff insists on cash tips, and they often comment if you don’t tip enough. I came across their health score on another review site, and after seeing that, I won’t be returning. Also, they haven't updated their closing times on the website, so it's best to call ahead before visiting.

We ordered pork belly (galbi) meat but receieved pork shoulder meat. When we confronted the owner about the meat they lied and insisted it was pork belly. They even charged us the pork belly cost despite it being pork shoulder meat. We won't be coming back. This place would be a 1 star if it wasn't for the kind lady who served us that day.

I called the store and explained the situation, but the answer was that if you bring the pork ribs as is, they will cook them again. I was so dumbfounded. I asked for a refund and got an answer after a long time.Later I went to the store and got a refund. But I never heard an apology. There was no sign of regret. (I could have gone to the hospital because I ate undercooked pork.)I was very dissatisfied with the service of this restaurant.I will never visit this place againI would never recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat Korean BBQ.

Same goes for the galbi, it came out cooked so couldn't check the marbling on it, but never ate a galbi so tough at a restaurant so far. Servers and atmosphere is good, pork belly is probably the most decent meat out of the ones I tried there.

Every dish we tried was delicious, but we particularly enjoyed the Marinated Pork and Pork Neck. It was also my first time tasting Marinated Crab, and I absolutely loved it!

The Ribeye steak was incredibly tender, while the Pork Rib was a bit too soft for my taste. However, the Beef Entrails were well-seasoned and quite delicious. The meal also came with hot soup, steamed eggs, potato salad, and marinated onions, all of which were nicely seasoned. I was hoping to try the marinated raw crab, but unfortunately, it’s only available on weekends. Overall, the prices are a bit high, but the portion is generous enough for two people. The service was excellent, although the interior felt a bit dated.

The staff were incredibly friendly, speaking to us in Mandarin and eager to share their love for food and culture. We tried the special holiday porridge and the unique "squirrel angels," but we were so full that we couldn't finish everything. The seafood pancakes were enormous and wonderfully crispy! The fish we ordered was perfectly crisp, served with a generous sauce, and the soup was also very flavorful! Be sure to try the side dishes, as many of them differ from what you typically find in Korean restaurants in Manhattan!
