Hyun is one of Manhattan’s standout spots for Korean barbecue, but it’s nothing like the casual, smoky joints you might be used to. Located in Murray Hill, this upscale restaurant elevates the entire KBBQ experience with a focus on premium ingredients, particularly their exceptional selection of hanwoo beef —a rare, highly prized Korean beef that’s known for its incredible marbling and flavor. It’s one of the few places in New York where you can try it, making Hyun a destination for anyone serious about their meat.

The experience at Hyun is luxurious and refined, starting with the space itself. The minimalist, modern decor creates a serene atmosphere, and each table is fitted with a smokeless grill, ensuring the focus stays on the food without the usual barbecue haze.

The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, often grilling the meat for you to ensure it’s cooked perfectly. The hanwoo beef is the star of the show, but the menu also features beautifully crafted banchan (Korean side dishes), stews, and stunning presentations of everything from raw cuts to grilled perfection.

Hyun is ideal for a special night out, whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or just looking to splurge on an unforgettable meal. It’s the kind of place where every bite feels like an indulgence, and the experience as a whole leaves you feeling pampered. Definitely a must-visit if you’re craving something extraordinary!
