No frill, good food fast service in and out. This is what I like. We came on a Friday night 6pm. They were busy but we were seated right away. For 2, we ordered the Naemyong and seafood pancake to split. The banchans were plentiful and everything was delicious. We finished and left quickly to free up tables for waiting patrons. Would definitely return to try other items.

The food was great to have after a long day of travel. I highly recommend the 파전 for all visitors coming to Five Senses. The corncheese and the cold noodles (물냉면) were great to have as well if you share with a family with adults and children. Some people say it doesn't suit to their tastes but for what it is, I would give it a 5 star rating.

While visiting NYC from Seattle, I just had to satisfy my on going cravings for Korean food. We walked from Times Square to K-town to eat at Five Senses. The place was lively and full on a Thursday night. Almost all diners were Korean, always a good sign. Despite the crowd, we were still seated right away and service was prompt. As expected and desired the food was fresh and hot (temperature hot). Everything was delicious. By the time we left, there was a line out the door. I would highly recommend eating here when in town.

I hear only good things about five senses, and actually have been here before, but probably never took pictures then. Anyway , I want to leave a review given I enjoyed my meal so much and already planning my next one. We came in for a weekday lunch and were seated right away, nice place in the heart of KTown. We ordered the silken tofu soup ( So good ), kimchi fried rice without meat, and bibimbap. Every dish was beyond our expectations, spicy, hot and delicious. Highly recommend if you love Korean flavors like kimchi and spices.

I love the food here! All the dishes we ordered were delicious! I definitely recommend any of the star items (chef recommended) ones because each one of them was excellent. The food is definitely pricey, but for the taste it is worth it. The service was prompt. Since we came on a Saturday at 5pm there was no line yet and so we were seated quickly. When we asked for extra utensils for the group they made sure to give us extras. The restaurant itself is quite nice. It's a mix of modern with warm brown wood. Also weird side-note: The sound doesn't travel quite well inside (everything gets muffled somehow) so it was a bit difficult to hear others across the table. Overall I will definitely be coming back because I love the food here and every dish was delicious!

I came here once before in 2018 and returned now in 2024, very consistent food! Came here on a Monday night around 7 and we were seated right away, but right when 8pm hit, the crowd started coming. We both ordered the Ogam Combo - Seafood Bibimbap with Kimchi Stew and Beef Bibimbap with Soybean Stew. First, love that they refill the sides, thank you!! Can't get enough of the bean sprouts, fish cakes, and kimchi. The Bibimbaps are so flavorful and getting it in the hot stone is definitely the way to go to keep it pipin' hot. For the beef, I wish there was a little more beef. The stews were good but we were too full to finish it, almost did. Customer service was great, didn't feel rushed even when the crowd came in. Will definitely be back!

Was walking around Koreatown and picked Five Senses because it was affordable compared to the other restaurants around and restaurant menu had more variety. Even thought there was a small line, the wait was very short and service is quick. Service was also good when it came to refilling waters and asking if we needed anything. I ordered the corn cheese rice and chicken hot plate, and both were very good. The corn cheese was something I never tried, but I do warn that it is spicy but if you like spicy you'll love the sauce. I normally don't like tofu but I loved the soup. I will warn that they have a credit card price and cash price. It's not much of a difference but good to note.

Alright, let me spill the tea about 5 Senses in Koreatown. First off, their banchan game is strong--fresh and flavorful, it's like a little taste of Korea on your table. And don't even get me started on their tofu soup; it's like a warm hug on a cold day. But, here's the kicker: the mandu? Meh, it didn't quite hit the mark. Luckily, the soup totally made up for it! Despite the so-so mandu, 5 Senses is still a go-to spot in Koreatown for a legit Korean food fix. Trust me, you won't leave hungry or disappointed!
