Grill marinated Busan-style short ribs in Midtown Manhattan

The dining room runs wide and calm, with purple-toned walls, a herringbone tile feature, and grills set into blond-wood tables. Yoon Haeundae Galbi takes its name from Busan's Haeundae district, and the kitchen leans into that heritage with marinated short ribs and flavorful skirt steak cooked over the coals in front of you. The meal opens with Galbi dumplings and a bright beet salad before the grilling starts, and individual portions of banchan keep everyone's side dishes tidy. Portions land generous, service moves quickly, and the room stays comfortable for a long group dinner. Weekday lunch sets pull in the Midtown crowd, while weekends stretch late into the evening. Reviewers flag the lunch sets as pricey and the cocktails as uneven. Steer toward the grill and the marinated cuts. It sits on West 36th Street, an easy walk from Koreatown's core.
