★★★★★ 5.0 Olexandra Tupalo · Dec 2025

Had absolutely amazing experience at Howoo. First time trying Korean BBQ and it’s going to be hard to beat this place. Food was absolutely delicious. We got the elite duo package and the meat was the best we’ve had and cooked perfectly. The side dishes were very delicious as well, and they get refilled if you ask. Pot rice and cold noodles were so unique and tasty. The staff and servers were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Ambiance and vibe was very sleek and nice, great for a date night out.

It’s one of the best Korean bbq experience in the city! The meat quality was amazing. Side dishes(banchans) were authentic and the soy bean soup as well. The cold spicy noodle is lil spicy at the end. Highly recommend

Howoo Korean BBQ was hands down one of the best Korean BBQ experiences I've ever had. The ventilation deserves special recognition--absolutely outstanding. There was zero smoke smell, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The service was warm, welcoming, and extremely attentive. What truly elevated the experience was that the server cooks the meats perfectly for you, allowing my friends and I to fully relax without worrying about timing or technique. Our server checked in often and made sure we never ran low on side dishes, happily offering refills whenever needed. Speaking of the banchan, there was an impressive variety and every single one was delicious. The meat selection was excellent, the wagyu truly stood out--incredibly tender and literally melted in our mouths. O

We had a fantastic time celebrating my birthday at Howoo. My husband who’s a vegetarian was able to get a kimchi stew, an egg soufflé and a good selection of banchan that are vegetarian friendly. Even we didn’t get to order much meat and thus a lower dollar bill, the staff and manager were so friendly and thoughtful - they treated us so nicely. I will definitely come back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Wendy Zhou · Jan 2026

Super impressed with this place - it must be an old nightclub venue because it just gives off that energy with the coat check, door separating hostess table from the dining area, the second floor balcony, everything! For the dinner itself - we got the $165 duo to split between three people and it was an ENDLESS amount of food. Granted we are three women, but it would be really hard to leave hungry with all the endless banchan and sides they provide, not to mention the soft serve at the end. The meats were cooked perfectly, our server was very attentive and made helpful suggestions throughout the meal as to how to best eat each cut, and the side dishes were diverse and flavorful. Seriously impressed overall, and I don’t think the price point is actually that high for what you get. They al
