The restaurant is on the 3rd floor of the building they are in (which wasn't very clear, so heads up on that!). The vibes inside the restaurant were dark and sexy. The food was amazing. Our server was great, interacted with us the whole time, even brought me a tide pen when I spilled sauce on my shirt (BONUS points for that level of customer service!). All of the small side dishes they bring, they will replenish throughout your meal, so don't be afraid to over indulge.

I would argue that Nubiani is the best classy korean bbq place in the city. They really pull all the stops, whether in service or quality of food. Easily got a resy for 6--for large parties things may be a little tricky as a table seats 6 around a grill. May be able to fit an extra person or two but otherwise that's stepping over the limit a bit. The restaurant is also in a large building that you need to get to via elevator. Once you enter, you're met with a dark, upscale, and swanky vibe. The vent fans are so fancy that they ease the fumes into the sides of the grill rather than going up and down. You don't have to worry about carrying around a kbbq aroma for the rest of your day. For 6 we ordered: - Large Beef Package - Pork Jowl a la carte - Beef Tartare - 2 bottles of the 24% ABV Dokdo Soju/Sake It came with a plethora of banchan, steamed egg, and soup choice between soy and kimchi stew. Beef tartare was sweeter than most, but delicious and had a melt-in-your-mouth kind of essence to it. Pork jowl was perfectly crispy on the outside while maintaining it's softness on the inside. Our server, or sommelier was super informative and kind. If it weren't for him, we would've over ordered. But thanks to his recommendation the food was more than enough without breaking the bank. We had multiple servers come and cook our food for us, as well as change the grills multiple times. We were feverish for the short rib and everything after was absolutely divine. All the cuts itself shined brightly and were all worth it. The calamansi dessert syrup soft serve at the end was a crowd favorite that refreshed everyone after a greasy meal. Overall this meal was memorable and delicious. I would recommend going with a large group to split the cost, and would highly recommend taking any guests from out of town looking for a special experience here as well.

I came here with a party of 5 on a weekday for dinner. Great ambient lighting, definitely gives off a sophisticated vibe. Service here was good! We had someone cooking and serving us. They were also very attentive. We ordered the large beef package for the 5 of us. While it didn't look much at first, we were all pretty filled at the end of the meal! The quality of meat was on point. The drinks (soju) definitely was on the steeper cost side, but other than that, I had a decent experience!

Excellent food and service! We were the last diners in the restaurant and they kindly asked us to leave after playing "Closing Time" by Semisonic Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice KBBQ dinner in Midtown

The food at Nubiani was great but I was blown away by their service! We had a reservation for a Monday night at 8:30pm and was seated promptly. The inside is modern, beautiful, and sleek, and I really liked the big windows that you can see the street from. We ordered the steak tartare, the perilla oil buckwheat noodles, and the small beef package. As a party of three, we were stuffed at the end. The beef tartare was fresh and paired nicely with the Korean pear that came with it. I liked that it wasn't doused with seasoning so that you can still taste the meat. The perilla oil noodles were really interesting and very taste-I loved how refreshing it tasted and I also enjoyed the sesame sauce it came with. I will say that the quality of the meat is great but not the absolute best. But it was definitely still tasty! I think I liked the marinated short ribs the best. The side dishes that came were also super tasty-I really liked the sweet potato dish, the egg souffle, and the bean sprouts. The kimchi stew that came was very flavorful and packed with a lot of meat and kimchi. Oh and there's also soft serve at the end as well. Now onto the service-our server Michelle was absolutely amazing. She basically anticipated all of our requests without us needing to ask her. She split the soup for us into three separate bowls when she saw that we were too busy eating the meats. I also finished the sweet potato side dish pretty early and asked her if I could get a refill and she told me that she had already put in an order for it before I had even asked! This happened with the egg souffle and some other side dishes too. She also automatically refilled my wasabi before I even noticed it was out. Finally, the moment that truly stunned me was when my friend dropped his chopsticks-she wasn't even at our table, but 10 seconds later she brought a pair of replacement chopsticks without us even asking. The attentiveness that she had was outstanding. All in all, Nubiani is a great place and I look forward to returning again when I'm in the mood for some elevated kbbq! It's also pretty easy to get a resy and note that there's also a cash discount.

Absolutely love this place! Is an elevated kbbq experience that I think is so worth. We were seated at a bar table and the service is amazing. The waiters cook everything for you and are very attentive to how fast or slow you eat too so the meat doesn't get cold before you're ready. The space is nice with dim lighting and dark walls which make for the perfect date night ambiance. I also did not feel like there were any strong bbq fumes that you sometimes get at other bbq spots. They provide so many delicious side dishes such as soufflé egg as well as lettuce to make wraps with. We ordered the small beef platter for two people and we were stuffed at the end. Ended the night off with a delicious soft serve as well. Highly recommend this place!! Note that there is a discount when you pay with cash.

Nubiani was a very solid 9/10. Service (10/10): The service was outstanding! The team was accommodating and fun to chat with. I'd caveat that I went at a less popular time, but the ambiance was great in my experience. Well lit, not too loud, and not smokey. Food (8/10): The sides were so delicious, especially the yuzu bok choy and egg soufflé! The egg soufflé had a smokiness to it that we really enjoyed. We ordered the Shrimp & Beef Pancake, which was great with the sauce, but otherwise I don't know if I'd order it again (not a ton of flavor.) The Small Beef Package was a great and flavorful experience. I found some of the cuts a little tough to chew, but generally my preference is thinner cuts of meat, which the Beef Package was not. That's just my personal preference though! All in all, I would definitely come back.

Made reservations on resy for dinner for 2 a week prior and was able to get a 5pm spot sunday. (530-8pm was no longer available) We were seated at the bar area and service was 5 stars. The waiters were incredibly attentive and cooked everything for you. Instead of opting for one of the bbq packages, we decided to order the meats individually since my husband wanted to try the marinated short ribs and it wasn't on the small beef package. We initially wanted to order 2 different beef and 2 pork meats, but the waitress kindly reminded us it was probably too much food for 2 people, and after thinking for a couple seconds, I completely agree with her. I've been too used to going to AYCE spots and forget that these plates can be quite a lot of food if not at an AYCE. So we dropped the pork belly and opted for an order of marinated short ribs, rib eye, and a pork jowl. Banchan comes free and came with several different things. They were all decent. They have the scallion salad so complement the meats with as well as lettuce for your wraps. Free egg souffle as well, and it was huge and overflowing. Rib eye- nice and thick piece of steak. Cooked perfectly at medium rare for my husband, and couple pieces were more cooked for me since I was pregnant. It was good. Pork jowl- thick pieces as well which cooked nicely. They were nice and crunchy. I usually prefer pork over beef for K-Bbq so this was probably one of my favorite meats. Marinated beef short ribs- so tender and flavorful. Sadly I was already too full from the first 2 meats so couldn't eat too much of this. This was my husband's favorite. Kimchi soup- flavorful Cold Buckwheat noodles- good as well and it was a nice refreshing complement to all the meats. We ordered way too much food than we could handle so we had alot of leftover noodles and some meats which they packed for us in to go containers. They gave us complementary ice cream topped with a citrus sauce which was pretty good. Overall I had a good experience but looking back, we probably should've ordered a small meat package and then added an individual order of a different meat or something just to get a little more variety.
