Insa - Brooklyn

Expertly run Korean barbecue place with beautiful decor, amazing food, a charming bar, and private karaoke rooms. Some of the seating is family style, and on busy nights. It’s good to try and make a reservation before arriving.

I've eaten here four times in the past year and i am blown away by the dishes every single time. The service is sharp, the ambiance with the BBQ tables is fun, and the cocktails are perfect, but it's the food that keeps me coming back. As someone who is gluten free but loves korean food, you just can't beat this. There's also great BBQ options for vegetarians and vegans- im not veg but even I love the fresh grilled mushrooms! This place is a true gem in the brooklyn food scene, do not sleep on it

I just celebrated my birthday here tonight. I have ZERO complaints. Nothing but LOVE for Insa! First off the place is beautiful inside. It felt so cozy too. The cocktails were tasty! I enjoyed my margherita a lot they kindly made it the way I really wanted it. We ordered the Galbi, bulgogi, etc... It was all absolutely delicious. The Galbi especially was great. I can feel my mouth salivating as I am thinking about it right now. The service was good overall. The staff were so kind, helpful, and attentive. I love that they have private karaoke rooms here too. No need to travel to another destination for that. Super convenient. We had such a blast picking the songs through their app and singing along as a group. Then towards the near end of our karaoke session, a staff member came in and presented an ice cream sundae with a candle on top for my birthday. Everyone broke into the happy birthday song. What a sweet moment! Tonight was one of the best and most fun birthday celebrations I've ever had. Thank you Insa for making my night special!

We made a reservation online for this restaurant and encountered a small issue, but it was resolved promptly and we were seated within minutes. The food was delicious and my companions, who had never tried Korean food before, really enjoyed it. However, I advise sharing a main dish between two people if you also want to have starters because the portions are quite large. Overall, this restaurant seems like a fantastic choice for events and parties!

Very good Korean bbq spot. While alil on the pricey side, I’ve eaten here 2/3 times and the quality is consistently excellent. Whether ordering meats for the grill, or regular dishes, it’s all great. Come with a group of friends, stuff yourselves then rent a private karaoke room in the back and have a ball. You won’t regret it. Update, went again this past weekend (late 2023) and the food and service is still excellent. Also changing from 4 to 5 stars. I really enjoy dining at Insa because it’s consistently excellent. I look forward to dining here again!
