Authentic Korean Barbecue cooked over charcoal. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the combination meal with ribeye, short ribs, and spicy pork. The sides are delicious. We also enjoyed the fried dumplings as an appetizer. The spicy soft tofu stew was also great.
One of the best if not the best Korean BBQ place I have visited. Service is top notch and super friendly and the food quality is superb. No wonder it was under Michelin radar I believe few years ago.
Wonjo can serve 8 of us on Friday night. I tried several restaurants around the area and none can do that. We ordered the premium set of bbq. The good thing I like is they cook for us. I usually overcook my streak when I m doing the bbq by myself. I like the pork belly and the rib eyes the most. They give us extra side dishes when we request and veg wrapping too. Service is good. This is my third time back.
Wonjo is a busy and popular kbbq restaurant in the heart of ktown.
With only a 20 minute wait for a party of 5 on a Friday evening, this already put it higher on rankings for kbbq in NYC.
We ordered the Wonjo Combo, Spicy squid udon, Spicy cold noodle with soup, and fresh raw crab. The food was tasty and rich, but the portions were smaller than advertised,
Service by staff was also good; however, we did feel pressured to finish faster given that some staff members were always looking over our should at the table. We understand that they are only looking to see if we need any new plates and whatnot, but we felt the rush regardless.
Overall, a good spot to go for a quick kbbq meal in ktown.
Korean BBQ on a super hot summer day is a must at New Wonjo. It’s an amazement to watch real wood charcoal grilling your favorite meats while the AC is blasting! Friendly staffs carefully grill the meats and place them on a separate dish over lettuce to keep it more juicy.
New Wonjo was my first stop once I decided to explore Korean dishes and I loved it. Still do.
Went back today after a long while and ughh I missed it. Haven't had korean side dishes in a while and was glad to try a new one at NW today, pickled wild sesame leaves. It was quite strong, as in salty and intense at first taste but I kept going back for more. It added flavor to the 부대 찌개 🍲 (dudae jiggae) I ordered.
I went in there thinking, "I'm not too hungry so something simple and small is all I need" but I left after emptying every dish on my table, an extra bowl of rice and a bottle of flavored soju and a teacup of cinnamon tea (to help my tipsy self)😅.
The food aside the service is as I recall, awesome. You will find someone at your side as soon as you try getting someone's attention, or they will approach you to make sure everything is OK.
Ps: They other empty dishes are absent because they cleared the table as soon as they were empty and I reassured them I didn't need anymore for fear of exploding.
We visit NYC yearly and make it a point to try a new KBBQ place in Korea Town each time, and I have yet to leave a review for any of them, until now! New Wonjo is probably our favorite so far… for portions, price point, quality, service, and compared to other K Town places New Wonjo is definitely unbeatable. We got one of the combos that included some of the BEST grilled pork belly I’ve ever had. My husband doesn’t even typically like pork and he couldn’t stop eating it when we went! On our last trip, we ended up going back 2 nights in a row lol the 3rd night we tried another spot only to regret not going back to New Wonjo for the third night lol also love that they are open until 5 am for the nights we get in late!!!
Fast service, good food, please make reservations and go as it's a pretty popular joint with the young and trendy. Had a wonderful dinner with family enjoyed every moment of the tasty dinner 🍽️
This was my last evening in NYC and I just walked out from different restaurant due to terrible experience. I walked to K-Town and came to New Wonjo (recommended by my Korean friend). I was hungry and tired. The restaurant was busy, but the staff have seated me and offered beverage which arrived in no time as well as the usual starters. I have ordered hot starter and main course and within next 10-12 minutes my food was on the table. The food was delicious and so flavourful and the service was amazing. The staff was very courteous, multiple people have passed by the table to check if I'm enjoying my meal and of I need anything. I definitely recommend New Wonjo,can't wait to be back! Try it out, don't miss out their Korean Barbecue!
My experience at Wonjo was really good! This was my first time trying Korean barbecue, and it did not disappoint. Our servers. were extremely attentive. We went for the premium beef combination. All of the meats were cooked to perfection. My favorite was the short rib, the dipping sauces and sides complemented the meats perfectly. The charcoal definitely gives the meat more flavor. Our combination also came with a pork and kimchi soup, which was so hearty and had a good amount of spice. To drink I had their homemade lemonade , which was very refreshing.
I will definitely be dining at Wonjo again
