Came here with a group of friends for some pre-karaoke tapas. The food and atmosphere here is great! Loved having the little mini pans to cook meat with while sharing some apps. All the food was excellent, but I really loved the tteokbokki and stew. I also really enjoyed the spicy dumplings, which were spicier than expected. The tuna was mouthwatering but it came in a hilariously small serving, which I thought was a little out of place for a non-pretentious restaurant like this. Can't complain too much as it still tasted great. Service was polite and fast, and the indoor vibes were pretty nice. They can likely do a bit better with the tables and chairs, but it is a small space overall. Minor complaints aside, I still highly recommend this place if you are in the area! You also get 10% off if you pay with cash so come prepared.

My son lives in Manhattan. We went to visit him. He took us to this restaurant for dinner. Like all other places in the city, it is small. The restaurant isn't in the first floor. We climbed up a few stairs to get to this level. Once we entered, we were immediately seated. Our server was very attentive. There were a few small tables by the windows. This nice dimly lit room had additional seating for larger parties toward the back. The decor was simple yet classy enough for a nice evening date with family or friends. As for the food, We only had two dishes that my son ordered and we shared. Considering the portions were somewhat on the smaller side, we were still happy with both dishes. They both were flavorful enough for this Mexican palate. They had our favorite bottles or imported beers. Considering the the steep price of the food in the menu, we would have liked for the portions to have been a little larger.

pros: + fun food, different from standard korean food + cute, clean space + food came out quickly + good for big groups (we were a party of 9) cons: - my reservation was at 7:30 and didn’t get seated until 8. the host kept saying “soon/almost/1-3 minutes” - not really an explanation or apology - the space was really hot. we asked if they could turn on the AC but they said it already was? it was right above us and we didn’t feel it - serving sizes are small for what you’re paying for ($23 for a small iron plate of chicken with hot sauce and cheese) - tuna wasn’t really good

Food was incredible!! Service was amazing too. :) My friend is from Jersey and is willing to come out every week to eat and drink here. And she would usually never do that, ever. Jae was an amazing waiter - come out and you’ll have a great time. ❤︎

ordered the mussel soup, creamy tteokbokki, and corn cheese. service was fast and friendly, all the food tasted amazing especially the mussel soup, flavorful and tastes like the sea. you’ll have a great time here either if you’re eating or eating + drinking.

It's on the 3rd floor so to find it it's above new wonjo and you have to take the stairs up. We went at happy hour and the menu is small. It's a casual atmosphere, and the noise is decently loud. The food here is so good and is a must try. Everything in the menu seems so interesting. Overall, it's good Korean food with a modern twist. We ordered 3 dishes the Kimchi cream ramyon, cream popcorn chicken, and cheese bulgogi toppoki. The portion was small, but everything was so delicious. We asked for a side of rice to soak up all the sauce.

The melon Makgeolli soju pitcher was so good! Food wise the ttoekbokki and buddae jungol were the highlights; could have done without the spicy pork and kimchi tofu

Since we were doing so much authentic Korean dining, I thought this fusion restaurant might be a good change of pace. I made reservations for late-night dining, around 8 pm...and when we arrived, there were plenty of empty tables. I asked for a seat by the window, but was told it was already reserved for another party...and the same with half a dozen seats. As it goes, some of these "best seats" were lefty empty by the time we finished eating (?!?). ANYWAY, let me go back a bit. This is a restaurant located in the heart of Koreatown...but hidden upstairs...with absolutely no sign on the outside building! We had to ask 2-3 different people on the street where this place was! OMG?? Then the stairway to the restaurant was quite...well, disgusting. However, as things go in New York, following that disgusting climb upstairs, the restaurant wasn't bad at all. The place is basically a hipster joint/gastrolounge, with dark, party lighting accents. I can tell that if they got rid of the current plastic partitions (Covid safety measures), the place would look quite cool. Looking at their raving reviews (almost 5 stars!), I can tell this is a popular late-night hang out. Since the menu featured largely Korean-American fusion tapas, we ordered several items: Kimchi Okonomiyaki (Korean-Japanese Fusion), Popcorn Chicken, Bulgogi Burger and Truffle Fries. I personally loved their Okonomiayaki the best. I simply love the addition of Kimchi to this Japanese original! Popcorn Chicken was very tasty...but it wasn't really "Popcorn". This tapas dish was huge, and the chicken chunks were so big that I only ate half of it! My husband seemed to enjoy the Bulgogi Burger and Truffle Fries. Service was good (at least at first). At one point, my wife managed to scare the waiter with his sardonic sense of humour lol, and after that, we had to flag down for service. Also, I noticed a birthday party in one corner of the restaurant, and this place really cranked it up for that...as in Party!!! Definitely a fun place. Overall, I thought this was a cool place with an interesting menu. Although I wasn't blown away by the Popcorn Chicken, I really loved the Okonomiyaki. There were various other items on the menu that I'd love to try as well, so I'd definitely consider revisiting in the future.

The food was tasty and not over salted. The bad part is the 3 flights walk up and down. But was worth it. Server was good . Ordered food at the counter and pay after ordering. Which I had to order and pay for my take out order separately from my eat in order.

Great authentic Korean food with a slight American touch! Popcorn chicken is very good and I always get it! Tteokbokki is a must! Not too spicy (unfortunately 😂) so it's manageable for everyone! Bulgogi fries and pork belly are also very good as well, would recommend! Very chill vibes, if you like street-like places, busy and with good service!

Anytime Kitchen has been one of my staple spots to be. I love the new decor as well. The food always hits the spot and the new cocktails on the menu are delicious. Jerry provides top service - highly recommended.

Went after work with friends. Thank god this place opens late, the vibes were immaculate. The total came out to around $30 person with drinks. I would say it's pretty good for the area. Would definitely come again. It's a very nice place with great lighting, not dim club energy. Great place to sit and just talk. We finished everything we ordered. We were here at 12am.

This place is such an amazing hidden gem. (Don’t tell anyone!) As you climb the stairs your questioning “Is this really the way to an amazing speak-easy? Or am I being set up?” Lol But once you’ve reached the floor and push the heavy metal door open, you exhale in satisfaction. The ambiance is chill-hip-zen with low lighting, all staff are very polite and professional, the food is so flavorful and the drinks are refreshing. We even had a great interaction with the manager who was happy to see we were enjoying ourselves and bought us another bottle of Soju. So respectful. Need I say more? Perfect place for a date night or to catch up and share amazing food with your non-rowdy friends. I cannot wait to go back.

Been here twice. Good food and atmosphere. Service was alright. Less busy on weekday nights, which I enjoy more than the weekend. I recommend the regular and cream popcorn chicken and Army Stew. The stew can feed 2 people and 3 with a side dish. Soup base was good, but can use a little less salt. The Jiajang Teokkbokki was good, but portion was small with mainly onions in the dish. I will say some of the dishes are overpriced. If you go during happy hour, there's discount on certain food/drink selection. I'd def come here again.

Excellent spot for late night eats. I flew into town super late and was craving a tasty Korean meal when I stumbled upon anytime. I love that they have the BBQ option available, we tried the pork belly. + the popcorn chicken was very flavourful. 10/10 for the food. It was very busy so service was a little bit slow. Although they made up for it with the quality eats and tasty drinks.

This Korean kitchen was very delicious actually. The portions are good size, not small. I loved the Lychee cocktail with soju. We couldn’t find the place at first. You need to go up the stairs to the second or third floor (don’t remember) and it’s behind the closed door (without any signs on it). It’s a busy loud spot, make reservations. Mostly 20-30yo. The chairs are metal and cold :(

Delicious, authentic Korean food. Would recommend pretty much all of the dishes we have had, the tuna tataki, pork shoulder bbq , popcorn chicken, fried Brussels sprouts, tteokbokki and kimchi okonomiyaki - hard to choose a favourite! Very friendly, quick service!

My friend and I chose this place at random to try something new. We wanted something Korean but with a bit of an American touch. And here comes Anytime Kitchen to the rescue, with promises of distinct Ko-American cuisine paired with premium Soju cocktails. Is this a place worthy of visiting anytime? In short, yes. The menu is extensive enough where anyone should be able to find something to their liking. The bar offerings share this same detail, having a large amount of Korean alcoholic beverages while also keeping a decent amount of American choices close by. Personally, I try to stay away from American themed food when I'm visiting a restaurant of a different culture, and as such we started with the Hallasan 21 Soju. The waitress warned us that it was a bit stronger than your average Soju, and she was correct. It was still really smooth and enjoyable however. With that, we also ordered the Hot Wings and the Bulgogi Fries. I know, I said I like to stay away from American themed dishes, but my friend was in favor of these choices. I'm glad we got them, as they were both great. I think the Bulgogi Fries were better than the wings overall. There just seemed to be something missing from the wings. The fries were very tasty however. For entrees, I got the Unagi Teriyaki (Eel BBQ) and my friend got the Veggie Japchae. The Unagi came in a bowl with a miniature fire underneath which I thought was really cool. It was cooked to perfection and full of very balanced flavors. I didn't have a speck of food left on my plate. My friend wasn't such a big fan of the Veggie Japchae and ended up not finishing it. I ended up eating it and was confused as to why she didn't eat it. I thought it was wonderful. Presentation was excellent as well, just as it was for the Unagi. The service here was fantastic. Even while a bit busy, we never had to wait for our waitress when we needed anything. She was very attentive and quick, while never being pushy with any recommendations. The restaurant itself was very clean and the ambiance was perfectly intimate, but not so much where you could gather your friends for a celebration. Overall I think besides the Hot Wings and my friend not liking the Veggie Japchae, this place was absolutely fantastic. It's those two minor points that kept me from making this a 5 star review. I still recommend that anyone try this place. You won't be disappointed

The restaurant is not easy to find and the atmosphere is nothing special. The lunch dishes are served in fast food style. But the dishes we ordered were really good! Also absolutely cheap for NY. Therefore an unconditional recommendation!

SO GOOD. Visiting NYC from Tucson, and we have a place there called CupBop. This is very similar, but imo much better! Got the combination cubop with chicken katsu and spicy pork. Very very very very recommended. It's a bit hard to find: when you enter the door from the street, keep right to go up the stairs, enter in the 3F door to get to the restaurant. SO GOOD

New Restaurant! I can't say enough good things about Anytime Kitchen NYC! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel like a valued guest.

Really great atmosphere and excellent food. If you're a looking for a low-key spot with hip vibe, this is for you!

Amazing food. Every dish looks good. Got the tuna bite, dumplings, and popcorn chicken. Tuna was freaking amazing, highly highly recommend. Will be back to try more.

So yummy!! They have happy hour all day and we got the popcorn chicken for 10 bucks :) perfect, moist, saucey chicken, and the cocktails were yummy too!! Highly recommend

Walk up to the third floor for this hidden gem in K-Town. The popcorn chicken was definitely a favorite for us all, super flavorful and crispy, topped with small rice crips. The sauce was slightly sweet and sticky, the perfect unique addition to the tender chicken itself. We also ordered the Bossam, which was quite tender. The tteobokki was also decent, and the fish ball soup is always great. The star of the meal was definitely the popcorn chicken. Their signature cocktails are also a must, we ordered the lychee and white peach. They came out in those plastic bags, with ice. They were ABSOLUTELY delicious, would come again.

love love LOVE this place. This. Place. Is. The. Place. To. Be. 😩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 If you want good yummy drinks with yummy food, COME TO THIS PLACE!! I recommend their house cocktails!!! Also shout out to Angel for being such a sweet waiter!!! I will definitely be coming back!

Great place for late night eating after hitting the bars. Place is small and upstairs, but we were seated quickly. Had the popcorn chicken, super creamy ttekbokki, budae jungol (korean army stew), and corn cheese. super creamy ttekbokki sauce wasn't too sweet. I enjoyed the budae jungol the most as it wasn't too spicy or sweet.

The food was okay, but the service was terrible: my friends and I were barely waited on and had to wait ridiculously long intervals between each dish we had ordered. We couldn't even get the waiter's attention when we had run out of water multiple times and had to go up to ask for refills. Gratuity is already included in the bill for larger groups, so I guess they feel like they don't have to work for it anymore.

It was an amazing night at anytime NYC! I highly recommend this place to have fun with friends. The staffs were very gentle and nice and food was quick and brilliant! Would def come again :)

This new business is amazing!! The prices here are so reasonable especially in Koreatown!!! They have everything-from appetizers, lunch, dinner, drinks, and desserts!!! The service here is absolutely amazing!! Our server was amazing!!! She made our experience here even better than it already was!!! You'll have a really great time here with the wonderful ambiance and the clean space.

I enjoyed and loved the atmosphere here and could feel back home as a Korean. Food was in between fusion and authentic so I thought anyone would be able to enjoy. I absolutely recommend this place if you are struggling to figure out where to go in K-town!

Amazing service! The food came so fast and our waiter was sooo nice! I got the Unagi Mini Don and it was sooooo delicious! They literally nailed it! 10/10 would recommend!

Excellent food, service and drinks. Waiter was very attentive!!!

my first "real" Korean BBQ, and it was amazing. the crew works like clockwork

Definitely a place worth stopping over, and the food is awesome and well prepared, the prices are fair and it is always neat here. Keep it up!

Tricky one. The food was excellent, nothing less. Friendly staff, on time, cool spot to be if you also consider the karaoke upstairs. But minus 1 for being pushed to a five star review twice by the manager. even if offering a free drink. Happy to pay an extra 9 bugs myself for an independent review.

If you are looking for a quick bite, their popcorn chicken is discounted during happy hour from $15 to $10.95 and with a spicy mayo, it pretty good. Eating more than one will probably give you an upset stomach. The place is locked in the 3rd floor and normally has office workers enjoying a bite after answering to their boss all day. Update, my thoughts were right, thankfully I only ate a small bowl, my stomach started hurting.

Great drinks, great service, and great vibes! Got together with some friends here for a celebration and they couldn’t have been more accommodating of our large group. The cocktails were super tasty and they sold soju by the bottle as well! Looking forward to coming back soon!

Justin provided amazing service; the rest of the staff was attentive. The pork belly was very popular as I see a lot of other tables ordered it as well. The oyster hotpot hit the spot. It was enough to serve 2. Music was on point too. Great place, would definitely recommend.

Had a great experience here! Came here during happy hour and didn't have to wait long to be seated or have our food served. My friend and I were led to our seat immediately and had a waiter approach us within minutes. We both ordered popcorn chicken and drinks and our orders were served pretty promptly and tasted great! Can't wait to come back soon!

Great place in NYC that isn’t overly crowded. The Lychee drink was amazing. The prices for the main dishes were affordable and the food was great! Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick affordable bite of Korean food with a relaxed atmosphere.

It’s a good place to come by after night out for some late night snack and food. Personally,I think food is mediocre, truffle fries and popcorn chicken was good though. For the ambiance itself it’s a cool/ chill atmosphere and they played trendy Korean songs. One thing I have to mention The Service was one of a kind definitely a memorable dinner. If the food was better I would definitely come back because service and hospitality was great.

Amazing food, vibes and service! The popcorn chicken is a must-try, along with their Kimchi Okonomiyaki. Definitely will come back next time!
