Korean BBQ in Manhattan

[Nywoman]

Have some European visitors who would like to go to a Korean restaurant. There are several in the East 30's, that serve BBQ, but I have no idea how to select a really good one. Please need help

All the Korean BBQ restaurants I've been to are on E. 32nd St between 6th ave and 5th ave. There's Shila, Kang Suh, Choong Moo Ro, and Kum Gang San. Shila is open 24 hours. There is also Kun Jip. I've never been there, but I've heard from friends that it's pretty good.

Hope this helps

If they are looking for more upmarket Korean, and based on the strength of the euro, i bet they are, definitely give Bann a try -

or Woo Lae Oak (same owners)

my brother and i just had an incredible experience at kunjip (west 32nd btw 5th and bway).

we arrived around 7:30 on friday night and yes, there was a line forming. however, we were handed menus and our order was taken while on line...and 5 minutes later, we were seated! 5 minutes after that, our food began arriving.

delicious steamed mandoo dumplings, korean fried rice cake with beef and vegetables (my personal favorite of the night), juicy, flavorful bulgoki, and wonderful, slightly sweet yet also savory, boneless pork ribs (the bulgoki and pork ribs were both on the BBQ menu).

the service was superb, the food AMAZING, and i would highly recommend it for your next foray into korean BBQ...

DoSirak (in the village) is really good.

I have only tried Kang Suh but it was worth a revisit or 2
