Barn Joo Union Square

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Food was good, lunch special is good value and the bibimbap was really yummy. Our daughter enjoyed the tempura prawn and we also really liked their oysters and cocktail shrimp (very meaty and great value at $1.75 each). Service is good and they have some Gluten Free options as well but struggled a little bit ensuring the GF variant came out (i.e. the sauce on bi him bap is not GF but they brought it out). A bit extra vigilance required if you have gluten sensitivity but with that being said staff was very friendly and fixed it right away.

Definitely a fun place! They asked if we had reservations when we walked in- we didn’t but they got us seated quickly. Service was good and spacious. I was actually able to hear the my friend talking to me which was appreciated. Food was really good and they even listed gluten free next to the items on the menu (lots of options!). Would definitely recommend. Had the uni bimbimbap which was delicious. $28 but I would expect that for nyc prices. Interior and bar were beautiful. Would go back! Unclear why photo won’t post.

I haven't gone since 2019 but I had a good experience with Joon
