NUBIANI (Midtown East)

“(1000000000/100) As a Korean, I can confidently say NUBIANI is one of the best places to experience authentic K BBQ in NYC area. Everything about this place genuinely impressed me. The meat quality was outstanding, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly flavorful 🤌🏻🤌🏻 The banchan was especially memorable — so fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. You can really tell they pay attention to every detail. Even the appetizers and side dishes were amazing, and honestly there WASN’T a single thing we ordered that disappointed us. Every dish felt high quality and thoughtfully made. The atmosphere is modern and upscale while still feeling warm and comfortable, and the service throughout the night was excellent. If you’re looking for a Korean BBQ spot in NYC that truly delivers both quality and experience, I highly recommend NUBIANI Midtown East. Also, definitely bring cash 💵 cause they offer a cash discount — totally worth it!!!!! I’ll absolutely be coming back again.”

“I’m visiting from Korea, and the food here is amazing—honestly even better than back home! The kimchi jjigae and doenjang jjigae taste exactly right, just like what Koreans love. And the meat is especially impressive—much more tender and flavorful than what I usually get in Korea. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been to many Korean BBQ spots in New York, but Nubiani is truly the best. From the atmosphere to the quality of the food, everything was exceptional. The banchan was fresh and beautifully prepared, and the meat quality was outstanding. Every dish exceeded my expectations. If I have family visiting or an important gathering, Nubiani will definitely be my first choice. A special thank you to our server, Michelle, who was incredibly kind and took the time to explain each item in detail. Her attentiveness made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. We’ll absolutely be coming back.”

“Had dinner at Nubiani last weekend and we loved everything about it. This Korean BBQ spot ranks among the best I’ve been to in the city. Stylish and modern, you can tell right away this isn’t just another Korean BBQ restaurant. Service throughout was exceptional, and we were really well taken care of by our tableside chef. The meat quality was outstanding and the portions were generous. We ordered the small beef set along with an order of pork belly, which we probably didn’t need, but it was really good so no regrets. The banchan was also a highlight, all very refined and full of flavor. All in all, an excellent experience and a place I’m really looking forward to coming back to. One note though: it’s highly recommended to bring cash. It’s not required, but you get a 10% discount if you pay in cash, which is considerable at a place like this.”

“My first time checking out this location and I’ve gotta say, I definitely prefer it over the K-Town one! The vibes here are way more chill and relaxed. Our server was super attentive and really fun to chat with. We ordered the large beef package, cold noodles, and hamachi. She grilled out meat perfectly and all the flavors hit just right. Plus, our banchan were refilled without us even asking. Loved the whole experience!”
