About Baekjeong NYC

Baekjeong NYC is making its highly anticipated return in 2026 on multi-locations. As a long-standing celebrity favorite and widely considered the absolute best Korean barbecue in NYC, we are reopening as a brand-new, multi-level, high-energy dining and cocktail destination in the Manhattan / Court Square, LIC.

While this flagship location brings a modern, elevated approach to one of the city’s most vibrant culinary corridors, we remain deeply committed to staying true to the roots of our culture through our design, atmosphere, and overall guest experience. We are proudly building on the legendary reputation of our core menu - most famous for our signature marinated short rib, USDA Prime beef, daily house-made banchan (side dishes), and our iconic grill-side corn cheese and steamed egg.

By merging premium ingredients, traditional table-side grilling, and a dynamic, curated bar program into a polished, fast-paced environment, Baekjeong NYC honors authentic Korean hospitality while pushing the boundaries of the modern dining scene. Designed to be a must-visit destination for locals, travelers, and industry insiders alike, our venue is set to redefine the standards for immersive service in Korean BBQ.
