Reviews for Dons Bogam & Wine Bar (Original) in New York, NY
Delicious and fun experience for a Korean barbecue. The service was very friendly and they were patient with us helping us... choose the items on the menu. The barbecue is prepared by the servers there and you can ask them how you want your meat cooked. Read more
I used to go and eat here , before covid lockdowns. Went here after a long time .. nothing much has changed . Tough to get seats... in the evening or on weekends. Actually love the setup inside with low chairs and grills.. sat outside this time . As always ,they bring starters which is sumptuous and awesome . Kimchi, sprouts, bean jelly, radish, seaweed and beef I think. Most of theveggies tasted awesome . I wanted chicken dish , but there weren’t many . Mostly beef. I ordered a spicy chicken dish and itwas OK . Not special . Had few asahi too. Overall a good Experience ! Read more
Hands down a 5 star place both for food and service. Korean seafood pancake was fantastic. Sitting down and getting up can be... tricky because of the tables arrangements but if you are comfortable sitting down and getting up of the floor you’ll be fine(unless you are wearing mine skirt). Read more
I found the food to be pretty good (not amazing) but the prices were noticeably higher than most of the other places in k-town.... So the value is not great. For example, that same Baekjong next door has meats that are just as delicious but are $5-10 cheaper.Their alcohol is even worse with cocktails at $17-20 and small soju bottles being sold for $20 that’s way above what you’llfind in surrounding restaurants. I suppose they position themselves as a higher end restaurant as opposed to some of the rowdierestablishments. But I didn’t really get any sophisticated vibe: it’s quite small, the decor is average, presentation ofdishes is standard. Read more
It was a great night visiting the place! Food was good, services were perfect, people were friendly. ???They have various side... dishes and are refillable like a real Korean restaurant! I really respect this part. 3 ppl we ordered a soup, a pancake, and twoorders of bbq (with two bowls of rice.) And we were full! (Thanks to the side dishes lol) Definitely recommend this placealthough personally I will not go for the bbq but other Korean dishes next time. Really want to visit again. Read more
With all the choices you have in NYC, this needs to be on your list. The staff, the decor, the food, and the wine are the best... of the best. I left hours ago and I can't wait to go back. It's the real deal Korean BBQ. You can cook at your table or orderof the fully prepared menu. It's located in a great location in the heart of the city and they are doing everything right. And Iwould try every dumpling on the menu. We had one of each and there was not one that disappointed. The management has just putevery thought into each item on the menu and trained their staff to deliver a top notch culinary delight. I can't say loudenough you need to go there today! Read more
Food was really good, but the portions are small and very expensive. I went with a friend for lunch here and we had a... reservation which was nice. Place has a nice ambiance. We ordered the 2 person portion with spicy marinated short ribs,marinated rib eye, marinated short ribs and mushrooms. The mushrooms were literally just 4 slices and we were done in no time.It was $109 for very little food though. They were checking vaccine cards though and service was attentive. Read more
This place was phenomenal. It was so clean and modern and sleek and well designed. For a grill your own barbecue kind of... restaurant I didn’t expect this level of professionalism and cleanliness and all the servierswere very beautiful and attentiveand I was so impressed by how professional and courteous they were. I’m not gonna lie I had a little bit of an attitude cominginto the dinner because I thought this place was located at a different location that was on Google maps and I just had a reallydifficult day in the city but they were so accommodating and even when I was a little bit snippy in the beginning they were sokind. I ended up having a really wonderful conversation with one of the servers and we bonded as people who wanted to go intothe same field in the future. The workers were very personable and I think that made all the difference. Overall I had such agreat time here and I highly recommend. The food is amazing and there’s such good traditional dishes as well as bomb cocktailsseriously such a good place. Highly recommend! Read more
