"Both the dungbok fundido and the pork korean barbecue were very good."
"The bulgogi and sablefish were exceptional!"
"Every bite takes your palate on a thrilling ride and you will want to try every dish on the menu."
"The bulgogi especially the pork and the bibimbap are to die for."
"The jalapeno fried chicken was another solid dish - juicy, tender chicken with a nice crispy batter and a sauce with just the right amount of heat."
"Featuring arguably the best galbi-jjim in NYC."
"The whole fish was fresh and lovely."
Cons:
"But every now and then you come across a restaurant that has such terrible service you leave not caring about how good the food was."
"Really disappointed years later. Not what it used to be I guess."
"For a place that was trying to pose as an inventive fusion type restaurant, it was quite a letdown."
"Not authentic. Too sweet."
"Everything was super heavy, bland, and sweet- the wings were way too syrupy."
"Nothing tasted extraordinarily amazing and portions felt small for the price."
"Pork belly stew is too salty."
Service
Pros:
"The service was superb."
"Our server was awesome, she was very kind, attentive, and someone we would go on to describe as 'great vibes.'"
"Keith masterfully paired drinks that danced with each dish."
"The service was a bit on the slow side, but well worth the wait!"
"Service was excellent."
"By far the best servers ever!"
"Every server was friendly, professional and knowledgeable."
Cons:
"Our waitress routinely refused to make eye contact or ask us how things were."
"Service was quick but we felt ignored by our initial server but everyone else was nice!"
"Service is bad. We were in a cabin outside: took 40 minutes to get orders taken, hostess spilled two pints of beer over us."
"Staffs are not friendly nor welcoming."
"While waiting for a table with a friend, a couple came behind us... so the waitress gave them a table. When we confronted her about it she did nothing."
"Knew it would be cold outside so made sure it was for indoors but they still put us outside."
"Sadly it did not live up to the hype."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"It is sparsely decorated, however, the decorations they do have create a cozy atmosphere great for a date or small intimate groups."
"First, when you walk in you notice the open layout and the warm inviting atmosphere."
"The atmosphere was mellow and nice, and the servers were all very nice and accommodating."
"The interior is airy and inviting."
"Love Haenyeo’s outdoor seating options - plexiglass walls divide the individual table groups with heating."
"Located on charming corner, the atmosphere at Haenyeo is intimate yet so welcoming."
"The space has a very warm welcoming vibe."
Cons:
"We had to move from a table in the back where the noise made it impossible for us to talk."
"It’s a bit loud inside, they could work on their sound dampening."
"Over all the place lacks the energy and fun of a Korean place in K-town or Flushing."
"Our experience was HELL."
Price
Pros:
"Would i go back yes $140 for two appetizer, two meals, and a cocktail is not bad!"
"To top it all off, the food was very reasonably priced."
"And t bill was $75! I am not sure why some reviewers mention the food is expensive!"
"The cocktails were reasonably priced, great tasting, and well matched to the dishes."
"Portions were generous and prices right!"
"Not too expensive."
"AND our elaborate meal did not break the bank."
Cons:
"The meal was pricey."
"Pricey too."
"It's way too expensive for what it's worth."
"I don’t know I think the price point is out of whack with other restaurants of its ilk, but it’s definitely on the pricey side."
"Fun plates but slightly overpriced."
"Solid flavor but slightly overpriced for what you get."
"It can be super expensive if you order couple soju with some dish."
