Seoul Transmission Brings Late-Night Korean Barbecue to Lower East Side

Seoul Transmission Brings Late-Night Korean Barbecue to Lower East Side

Seoul Transmission, a new Korean barbecue restaurant, opens July 13 at 137 Orchard Street. The spot will offer late-night service until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Seoul Transmission will debut its first location this weekend on the Lower East Side. The restaurant will specialize in tabletop Korean barbecue and remain open late, targeting both neighborhood residents and visitors. It is the latest addition to the area’s growing Korean food scene.

Co-owner David Kim, previously of Insa in Gowanus, says the team aims to recreate the atmosphere of Seoul’s barbecue houses. Diners will cook cuts of beef, pork, and chicken on tabletop grills. A selection of banchan, soju, and Korean beers will also be available.

The kitchen will operate until midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Kim said the menu is designed to accommodate groups and late-night diners, including industry workers. Reservations are available online, but several tables will be held for walk-ins each night.

The restaurant occupies a space formerly home to an Italian café. The interior features wood-paneled booths and overhead vents for each grill. The opening reflects continued demand for late-night dining options south of Delancey Street.
