MADANGSUI

New York

Korean Restaurant

$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Sam Sifton called Madangsui “Manhattan’s best Korean barbecue restaurant” when he reviewed it in 2009, and while we won’t confirm that early-KBBQ-era declaration, Sifton is accurate with his ordering suggestions: get a round of all the BBQ classics, including the ribeye, the pork belly, and galbi. The humble fried mandu is notable as well, and goes well with the order of japchae, or sesame oil-stir fried glass noodles.
