Hands down one of the best Korean BBQ spots in Midtown, Manhattan. We ordered their Beef Platter for dinner and it did not disappoint — the meat was tender, flavorful, and paired nicely with the generous selection of sides. One of their staff kindly offered to handle the grilling for us, which was a great touch and elevated the service experience.
They were also very attentive in refilling side dishes, especially the potato salad and tofu with sesame sauce — both really tasty and fresh. The place itself has a great ambience, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that it spans three floors of dining space, including private rooms for small groups, which is perfect for gatherings.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience — great food, thoughtful service, and a lovely setting. We’ll definitely be coming back!

: 8/10. We love this Korean barbecue spot! Me and my friends family went there for a nice dinner and it was truly a treat. We order a beef platter, chicken wings, kimchi soup, fried dumpling and refilled a lot of side dishes! The beef were all very fresh, nicely grilled by our server, and flavorful! I really enjoyed their fried chicken wings as well, it is bombed with garlicky flavors and just purely delightful!
: 8/10: I love that our server came over and grilled the meat for us! The waitress that served as was very kind, very attentive and very detailed oriented!
: 9/10: This place is right in the heart of K-Town NYC! I love the ambience, black and white, modern and classic! The seating we’re all very comfortable, we don’t feel cramped, and we didn’t feel the rush to finish eating and leave.

Tried the uni & fish roe rice bowl at this Korean restaurant today — overall, the food was really good. The uni was fresh and creamy, the roe added great texture, and the bowl itself was beautifully presented. Most of the side dishes were tasty too, so from a food perspective, I was satisfied.
However, there were a couple of disappointing details.
First, one of the soups that came was already cold, which took away from the experience a bit.
More importantly, the service from one female server was extremely poor. When she cleared the table, she handled the plates so roughly that soup splashed onto my clothes — and she didn’t apologize at all. She just threw a few wet wipes on my table. Later, when I asked for a takeout box, she dropped the lid on the floor and seemed completely spaced out the whole time. Very careless and unprofessional.
To be fair, the rest of the staff were friendly and attentive — it was just this one person who seriously dragged the experience down.

I’m not impressed and I’ll not go into details too much.
The meat quality is good, it was tender, but for $149 beef platter I think you should get more meet. Side dishes are either bland or seasoned too much fir my taste, and weird (not funky): fish cake, pickled radishes, onion salad, soft tofu…Our ribeye was VERY thin, flat iron steak, seasoned cubed short ribs and short rib. I love that a girl came over and grilled the meat for us, but service was inconsistent.
Booths are very sturdy and uncomfortable.
There are much better places if you want to try Korean BBQ.

Antoya Korean BBQ in NYC is easily one of the best spots in the city to satisfy any Korean BBQ craving. The menu has something for everyone with delicious options from premium Korean BBQ cuts grilled to perfection right at your table to comforting classic Korean soups and stews, savory pancakes, noodles, and plenty of shareable appetizers. Everything we ordered was delicious and so satisfying, especially if you’re craving authentic Korean BBQ. The vibe is laid back and modern, with gorgeous flower archways and photo friendly backdrops that make the whole experience feel extra fun and celebratory; perfect for a night out with friends or family. The service can be a bit slow at times, so there’s definitely room for improvement, but the overall experience still makes it a spot worth visiting.

Had a really great dinner here on Saturday. Our server (tall guy, possibly Korean(?) I don’t know his name) was so kind and professional. He cooked the meat perfectly, was attentive without being overbearing and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. He even brought us extra banchan and a yogurt at the end, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything we tried was delicious, and the quality of the meat was excellent. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely love this Korean BBQ spot! The meat is always fresh and perfectly marinated — it’s delicious every time I come. The side dishes are clean, fresh, and taste just like homemade. The staff are super friendly and attentive, and the whole experience always feels satisfying. Definitely one of my go-to places!

I’ve been to Antoya Korean BBQ four times now, and every single visit has been incredible — largely thanks to Daniel (aka Dan). I’ve been lucky enough to have him as my server each time, and he is truly a standout. His energy is just beautiful. He’s warm, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely taken care of.
His recommendations always hit — from the wine pairings to what to order off the menu. He knows exactly what will make your meal perfect. The food is amazing on its own, but Daniel elevates the entire experience.
If you’re coming to Antoya, ask for Daniel (Dan). He’s dope, and he deserves all the praise. One of the best servers I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

The soy marinated crab lunch set was so good, I went back 3 days later.
The lunch set is 49.99 $ and you have the option to add uni on your rice for an additional 15 $.
Service was fast and efficient but not pushy.
