    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!

    I would totally return for the awesome lunch set! For a little under $25, you can have the option to pick a set that comes with so many side dishes! I got seafood stone bowl and my friend got kimchi cream udon. Mine came with salad, croquettes, and sushi rolls. You get your moneys worth, and everything is delicious! We also loved the soy garlic wings! Despite so much good food, I was tempted to add an uni hand roll, too, which was a good decision because it turned out to be very tasty! My earl grey high ball cocktail was not bad, but I couldnt really taste any earl Grey flavor. There was only one waitress working but she was very nice and took care of all the tables well. Do be careful of the restroom lock, it doesnt seem to work!

    Im 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 - dont expect a warm welcome. However, the bartenders 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.

    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, dont miss out on this gem of a restaurant.

    A beautiful mid size restaurant selling Korean food. The open sushi was beautiful but somehow not that tasty. The soup was tasty but boiling hot. I literally had to wait 15 minutes for it to cool down. Alcohol is a bit pricey. All drinks on the menu were $18. Over through a beautiful experience. The bar is a little bit of a scene which was cute to see.

  • Review 6 (2024-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    We had the best meal here. Our server was excellent. She made.perfect recommendations and helped by reducing spice on dishes. She was super friendly as well.The cocktails were beautiful. I had the yuhzu bloom and it was delicious.We share a few delicious tapas...the galbi and spicy tuna half rolls, the KFC wings with the sweeter sauce, and the steamed dumplings. These were all so delicious!! We also split the spicy Korean seafood udon army soup which was excellent. They brought two bowls so we could split. All the food was amazing. Cute and clean interior. All the details are considered.

  • Review 7 (2023-10-29 - Rating: 4)

    Food was great hand rolls very good the kalbi do need to give it couple minutes to heat up but also good. Every dish no complaints and the yuzu beer topped off everything. Love how music was not blasting so loud so we didnt have to shout. Took off one star because the raspberry in our bingso was bad and ik its easy to not notice but i do still expect high quality restaurants to use fresh ingredients and if it wasnt this small berry overall my dining there would be nothing but five stars. Btw bingso was also very very good minus the mold berry.

    We came here for a group work dinner and were very happy with our experience.Ambiance: The vibe of the restaurant is very nice. Great for a date night or a group get together or just a nice simple event.Service: Staff was really nice and friendly. The service was quick and they came and checked on us often.Food: Im a vegetarian and there were plenty of options for me. I found the food to be delicious and well seasoned. I also like the creativity and uniqueness of some of the dishes.Drinks: They have really delicious drinks. There were at least a few cocktails that I wanted to try. The drink I ended up getting was excellent.Instagram Handle: @TheShahLALand

    Great tapas dishes and a solid choice for dinner! The food we got was honestly all great and it’s hard for me to single out any particular to recommend. The cocktails were also great and compliments the dishes.Our service was very fast and it was easy to get reservations on a week day here!

  • Review 10 (2022-11-18 - Rating: 5)

    Had a fantastic dinner here the other night. Its conveniently located within a short walk from Herald Square and the Empire State Building. Requested for a last minute reservation that turned out to be a good move as they were packed on a week night.Service is impeccable! Servers are super friendly, attentive, and very efficient. Our order came out relatively quickly, we never thought that we were left waiting too long, and our servers kept a close eye on us the whole time.We ordered the pasta noir, pork belly, open roll trio (uni, shrimp tempura, and house recommended galbi), Drunken Tiger cocktail, and bread pudding for dessert. The pasta noir was amazing, it has chili oil so we requested for a little less heat and it was just perfect for us. Its very generous with the toppings and was enough to share for 2. Other variations from other restaurants have similar dishes that were too rich, but Barn Joo got this one perfectly balanced. Pork belly was the same, great flavor and the white kimchi was refreshing and served as a palette cleanser. We originally ordered it for our kid, but ended up enjoying it with him as the serving was quite generous. The trio was equally great, I highly recommend the galbi, shrimp tempura, and uni varieties. They can be eaten in one or two bites, but each one packed a lot of flavor. The Drunken Tiger cocktail was smooth and balanced flavors with the alcohol pretty well. Finally, the bread pudding was a great finisher for the night. Its creamy, chewy, and had just the right amount of sweetness without being too decadent.Overall, Barn Joo Nomad is an awesome date night spot in Korea town, we hope to visit again soon!

    A high-standard place bar & restaurant. They make everything with a touch of Korean taste which is brilliant.🍝The seafood pasta was the VIP that night! They served a lot of seafood in the dish and the taste was rich.✨✨🦀Soft shell crab was great too. Two sauces that were served on the side were match with the taste. The presentation was beautiful too.🍖Pork bell was a little classic but the white kimchi on the side was impressive.🍰The only thing I will not that recommend is the cheesecake. The cheese cake tasted great but didn’t have the alcohol taste that was mentioned on the menu. A little bit disappointed.🍸I order the cocktail Colada Highball which was on the sweet side. Recommend for people who don’t like the alcohol taste.✨

    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!

  • Review 13 (2021-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    To start we had the open rolls that look like seaweed tacos, and we shared two entrees, the braised octopus and hwe bibimbap. The food was beautiful presented and tasted great. Both the outdoor and indoor had a nice vibe. Service was quick. I thought it was a little weird that we were two people and they brought out only 1 set of utensils and 1 soy sauce and wasabi bowl...were we supposed to share? 🤷🏻‍♀️ All in all though this was a great lunch spot find!

  • Review 14 (2022-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommend! The braised octopus and the chilly shrimp are the must try. The octopus is tender and the veggies in it is well cooked and nicely seasoned. The chilly shrimp is so much better than I expected!!! It’s not oily and the chilly sauce is sweet. The uni bibimbap didn’t exceed my expectations, but still pretty refreshing! I will definitely try other dishes again.

  • Review 15 (2021-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    This restaurant caught our eye so we decided to eat here for dinner and Im so happy with that decision! We started off with Tteok and Cheese which is topped with quinoa (adds a BEAUTIFUL crunch) and it was AMAZING, it was my favorite thing off the menu. As for entrees, my friend got the Bimbimbap which was surprisingly topped with a whole lot of raw fish. I got the Open Hand Roll Trio set which was $20. I took the waiters suggestions and got the Fried Shrimp, Eel, and Spicy Salmon. The Eel and Fried Shrimp were my favorite. Theyre topped with this yellow sauce that is so good. Its a little sweet and fruity but it tastes amazing with the protein. The rolls are just a little hard to eat though; however, the flavors were top notch. Each entree also came with a small cup of their bone broth soup which didnt really have any flavor to it. We also decided to try the Mákku which is a beer and I absolutely loved it. Its sweet and fruity and was refreshing to drink on a hot day. We got both the original and the mango and I prefer the mango a whole lot more.

  • Review 16 (2024-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best restaurants in terms of food in NYC. Tried their vegetarian handroll and the hot stone. Really good quality. Even the drinks were amazing. Will recommend 10/10!

  • Review 17 (2022-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    2022 February - Love love love this place.. Updated review! The fries improved, love it. They take reviews and comments serious.The open rolls are amazing, the chicken and bibimbap too. Oh and a nice whiskey selection.I have been here over five times by now, and I can’t stop lol. It is hard to stick to one place in NYC, but here I am a regular haha2021 November - Good service, good Korean food. The only upgrade is needed with the fries, maybe offer French fries instead of these big chunks? Would fit the menu much better. The ambiance is nice.

  • Review 18 (2022-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely delicate and delicious gourmet food. presentation was outstanding In my opinion the octopus was a little bit overcooked but everything else was extremely tasty and reach my expectations. Cocktails also were delicious and desserts came directly from heaven. Service was very attentive and professional. Vibe is sophisticated and elegant.

    My wife and I had dinner twice this past weekend!! They have great cocktails, and the food is phenomenal and incredibly fresh!!! Awesome place!

  • Review 20 (2023-05-03 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food. Went on Saturday night and they had live band playing upstairs also. Courteous attentive staff for our party of 6. Solid food and ambiance. Recommend for dates and group gatherings

  • Review 21 (2024-02-19 - Rating: 5)

    Their uni bibimbap is a must try. The best bibimbap I have ever had. Their raw oysters are fresh and price is very affordable. Service is good. Will go again next time in Manhattan.

  • Review 22 (2024-07-11 - Rating: 4)

    Had a delicious bibimbap with salmon. The oysters were very affordable, but you get what you pay for - they taste like absolutely nothing. The service is great. I’d come back here, just not for the oysters.

    We came across this place by accident as it was few steps from our hotel and we were looking for a place to eat before our flight - and we were so lucky to try this place!! Drinks were tasty and the food!!! So many creative options. We definitely recommend the octopus!

  • Review 25 (2022-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    Delish. Dark meat chicken nuggets and truffle fries are the ultimate foodie junk food. Insanely good. Service was great and amazing cocktails!!

  • Review 26 (2023-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    This was way better than I expected. Handrolls are generously filled compared to some of the other places. 3 for 20 is a very fair price for them.Octopus was good as well. Very tender.

  • Review 28 (2022-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    Went to Barn Joo for a late dinner around 9:45pm on a Wednesday and were able to sit at the bar right away. Their kitchen closes at 10pm, so make sure you have your complete order in before that time. We got the hand rolls and they were delicious! I would recommend getting 4 of them per person, if you are hungry because they are small.

  • Review 29 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 4)

    Wonderful meal. Food and service were top notch. Particularly good was our server. If I could give 4.7 I would.

  • Review 30 (2022-11-10 - Rating: 4)

    Delicious rolls, I had the tuna mayo, spicy tuna and galbi with beef bone broth to cleanse my palette in between. The Popcorn chicken was so good! Only complaint is the bar stools are uncomfortably small but the food and atmosphere make up for it.

  • Review 33 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Omg so yummy, the ladies were so nice to us and the food was worth the wait. However, there was a customer there that was being pretty harsh to the waitress and even cursed at her, when she did not deserve that but they handled it perfectly. They deserve more for what they do!! Everything was great despite that

    Stopped in for happy hour. A few appetizer and drink specials. The crispy tofu was tasty with a slight hint of heat in the glaze. A very cool/relaxed vibe and very attentive staff. The regular menu also looked good and I plan on returning for a proper meal.

  • Review 40 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite local restaurant and I LOVE their new udon dish!For appetizers, I recommend: happy hour oysters, hot & spicy korean chicken wings, and a trio set of open rolls. For entrees, I recommend: the sashimi bibimbap and creamy kimchi udon.For early dinners (around 5pm) theres normally plenty of seating and great service. On nice days they open all the windows which is so lovely.Pro tip: there is a second bathroom on the second floor.

    It was great food, cute decor, no wait and attentive service on a Saturday night. Oysters were fresh, seafood tasted good. They do really need to serve kimchi as a side dish tho. Not a complete Korean meal without a plate of kimchi on the table.

  • Review 53 (2024-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    The short rib steamed buns were aces!! Not too filling, delicious flavors. Got the oysters because we were there during the oyster special happy hours, they were good - came with those little dropper bottles for the vinegar and hot sauce which is always adorable. Split the creamy kimchi udon which had a nice kick to it, I think it would have been too heavy to eat the whole dish. Would go back.

  • Review 58 (2023-08-19 - Rating: 4)

    The restaurant has a very nice interior. Service was amazing. Food was also very good and of high quality. Most importantly though, I’d say it was extremely reasonably priced. For the experience and type of food being served, I’d normally expect such establishments to embellish prices majorly. This restaurant is very reasonably in its pricing. Only problem is that portions are on the smaller side. I can’t guarantee you’ll leave full. Nonetheless, a quality restaurant worth visiting.

  • Review 59 (2024-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely loved this place. Absolutely recommend the chicken buns and the potato croquettes. The buns were the most flavorful buns I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). And the croquettes were so light and airy. I can’t wait to go back. An unexpected treasure.

    Crispy seafood paella - shared as a decent portion for two ladies. Squid, shrimp, soft shell crab fresh were fresh. Side accompanied pickled radish was a good pairing along with a nice cup of warm beef broth. Great service and quality despite us ordering right before the kitchen was closing. It was a happy meal and such comforting food. Wow! Coming back for more!

    What a terrific spot to catch a really tasty meal, terrific cocktails and enjoy some nice ambiance.I cant say enough about the staff. They were superb! I sat at the bar with my buddy prior to dinner and had the pleasure of being served by our bartender Jessie. What a fantastic guy....extremely personable , engaging and he made an excellent Nomad Old Fashioned! His side kick Mike was also terrific!Once we were seated upstairs, our server was Rony. He was another fantastic and friendly professional! He made great recommendations and was very attentive to ensuring that we were satisfied.The food was really delicious. I loved the Korean Chicken Wings, Steamed Buns with Beef, Braised Octopus and the Uni Rolls....all freaking awesome!The food was great, but the outstanding staff made it truly an excellent dining experience.I really cant wait to come back!

    Went here for a quick dinner on s Saturday night and was pleased! They have an extensive menu with a lot of good options. We got oysters, shrimp, an uni roll, and calamari and everything was so tasty!! The service was good - the waiters were attentive. The place itself was nice. There were a few loud tables around us but it was a bar too so not surprising. They played good music. I’d definitely go back and recommend to others!

  • Review 70 (2021-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    The food was delicious. I have a nut, sesame, soy, and minor gluten allergy so I appreciated the attentiveness of our server in checking with the chef about the food we ordered. There was a mistake when they brought out the bread pudding and my friend discovered that it had sliced almonds inside (our original waiter went off duty during our meal and I guess that my allergies werent relayed to the new server). They brought us a new bread pudding sans the nuts and it was delicious. The octopus and the days beef cut (it was short rib that day) were delicious. The open rolls (shrimp, eel, and salmon) and accompanying broth were really good too. Our favorite drinks were the Serrano margarita and the lavender one (so fragrant!).

    YES YES YES! I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food was SOOOOO GOOD and not that expensive! The oysters were was AMAZING too.. we had 3 trays of them!! We also had Softshell crab (amazing) , yellowtail( which was so good)and other things too.. also the lychee Martini was very good!! The rest of the food was amazing too. I took pictures of everything!! I was definitely annoying but in a good way lol. The waiters were just laughing at me cause they knew i was having a good time and enjoying the food. The service was amazing! They did so good they got a 46 dollar tip (we had two waiters that night so I hope they split that). They were very sweet and kind to us there! The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing! The music was relaxing but also upbeat. Also must like Lo-fi music but with a bit of pop infused!Overall I loved this place and I will be back!

    We spent 5 glorious days eating our faces off across the city & stumbled over Barn Joo Nomad on the last day. It may have been our favorite meal of our trip! Big, explosive flavors & textures beautifully presented at a great price point. Not to mention the best sesame-washed Manhattan Ive ever had! Friendly service & a cool vibe makes this a perfect date night spot or place to grab a bite with friends. Well definitely be back!

    Good food and service in a nice setting. Not even that busy at 8pm on a Saturday evening. Cocktails were very nice also. Just wish the Salmon Sashimi could be separated out from the tuna and others. But I wouldn’t rate them any lower for it. That’s the chefs choice.

  • Review 77 (2024-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve come to Barn Joo quite regularly, usually for their amazing lunch special- unbeatable valuable in the city! Great tapas and fun Korean fusion dishes.Food is always delicious, service when they are busy (dinner especially) can be a little inconsistent, but all in all a solid experience.

    Excellent food, not too loud or crowded on a weeknight during happy hour. This is gonna sound pretty lame but their barn joo salad is probably the best salad Ive ever had: fresh fruit, a nice piece of house made bread, egg, corn, and not too much dressing. Top salad for sure. The mushroom + shishito pepper dish was also delightful. My only complaint was that there wasnt enough of it!The service was great and fast as well!

  • Review 79 (2022-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Service was excellent! We were a party of 8. No mistakes on our orders. They cleared the used plates quickly so we have space. Drinks were replenished quickly. They have a full bar with some unique cocktails. I dont drink alcohol so I ordered a Yuzu Lemonade yummy!Ordered almost every appetizer on the menu and everything was delicious. Every one enjoyed their entree. Even converted some picky eaters.Standouts were:Appetizers:Mushroom and Shinto Pepper - everyone loved this dish even someone who did not like mushroomsSoft Shell Crab - seasoning really complimented the crabEntrees:Braised Octopus - delicious so tender and perfectly seasoned, 3 of us ordered this and a couple other sampled it and we all loved itPorkbelly - delicious tender and the accompanying sauce just brought this dish to another level of deliciousness!Make reservations if you are a large party. Space is on the small side.

    Some of the most delicious oysters in my life in this cafe

  • Review 82 (2022-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    Food was so good and the atmosphere was really great with not so loud music or noise from other customers but it was still lively!We had the soy garlic chicken wings served with pickled radish, the barn joo salad with yuzu sesame dressing, and the steamed kimchi dumplings to start.Dumplings were a little dry, would prefer sauce on the side as an option. Chicken wings and salad were amazing !! Chicken wings were perfectly crunchy and the salad and a great balance of sweet and savory.We also had 2 bottles of the grapefruit soju which was perfect with what we were eating everything balanced really well!We had the beef krispy paella as our entree and it was truly so good i couldn’t stop eating it. We were so full with no room for dessert but maybe next time because I will definitely be coming back ! Everything felt super light and didn’t weigh us down after !

  • Review 85 (2022-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    This place is amazing! It’s has a really hip vibe without being pretentious. As food is prepared it is brought to the table. This may turn some people off, but everything was fresh. I highly suggest the Tiger Roll. I literally had a food orgasm. I ate with a friend who is not as into Asian food, and she was very satisfied with her meal. We topped the meal off with the Bourbon Bread Pudding. O.M.G. Seriously, don’t pass it up. This place will not disappoint. It would be a regular spot for me if I did not live out of state.

  • Review 88 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    I had been to the Barn Joo restaurant in Union Square (which was fantastic) and as we were in the areas again thought we would go to this one of their restaurants too. As usual the food was amazing, with the Korean tapas being a particular highlight. Popcorn chicken was spicy and crispy (our kids loved this!), soft shell crab was beautiful, wings had a great flavor to them and the pork belly was beautifully braised with kimchi - yum yum! Finally the oyster deal after 4 is wonderful value! Try this place out, you won’t be disappointed.

  • Review 89 (2022-04-18 - Rating: 4)

    Lovely Korean gastropub with a full moon backdrop. Menu ranges from small bar snacks perfectly pairing up with the soju, to a bowl of mouthwatering uni bibimbap.

    We really enjoyed this spot on a Tuesday afternoon lunch with some friends. The space was clean service was attentive and most importantly the food was really delicious. I would say one of the best pre fixed lunch specials I’ve ever had. I would absolutely come back.

  • Review 97 (2021-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    I randomly stopped in here with friends and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The Bibimbap was loaded with fish and just an excellent surprise. I definitely enjoyed their take on it. The pork belly meal was extremely generous and should be shared with the table. We also had the friend asparagus which was excellent and had just enough crunch without being greasy. The last thing I’d like to mention is their drinks. We had a spritz, Manhattan and the drunken tiger. All three of us loved them and would order them again.The staff was super attentive and wants our feedback as they had just opened. Very nice people who were excited to be opening a new space.

  • Review 98 (2022-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    It is our to-go place. Very berry margaritas are wonderful. I think its a little overpriced for the amount of food they serve. It is very creative, but portions are really small.

    Perfect spot for a group dinner! We had an array of appetizers and small plates from Barn Joo Nomad -- everything was delicious.

    This is the best value lunch Ive seen in the area. I struggled to put a dent into tempura, rolls, salad, soup, pickles and a generous bowl of delicious hwe dop bap. All of this was $22.50!! The tempura was a bit heavily battered but everything else including the wings were fantastic, flavorful and light.

    Overall food was good. The handrolls were great kalbi did need couple minutes to heat up but also good. Yuzu beer topped off everything well.Bingso was perfect combination of sweet creamy and fruity but i took off one start cuz the raspberry was bad and had mold. Ik its easy to not notice mold on a tiny berry but when im dining at high quality i expect the ingredients to be fresh. If it wasnt for the mold my dining experience would be nothing but 5stars. Also likes that they dont blast music so loud you have to shout to each other.

    Great little place in midtown. Super high quality fusion Korean. Ingredients are fresh, the Bibimbap fish combination interpretation was amazing.

    Bibimbap, yes! We got the beef one because the sea urchin one was sold out when we arrived at 10pm. Still taste amazing! Just a tiny bit salty.We ordered 4 open roll. Rating from top to bottom: eel, spicy salmon = tuna mayo, mushroom. I rated mushroom the lowest is because it was way too salty.We also ordered fried chicken. Again, it’s on the saltier side. Crunchiness is 10/10.Overall food is good and staffs are very friendly. I would come back again to try their sea urchin bibimbap!!

    Came here for dinner on Friday night at 6:30pm. The restaurant is taking COVID precautions seriously and asking for proof of vaccination. I ordered the open rolls (Galbi, Salmon, and Shrimp) for dinner and a few 1 Thyme drinks (which were delicious). Would definitely return to try the other open rolls!One minus would be that it was too hot and stuffy in the restaurant. Not sure if their AC was working despite it being over 80 degrees that night.
