Im giving it 1 star because there is no option for no star. First of all, Im a Korean who will eat mediocre Korean food just because its not easy to get outside of Korea town. That said, I have to say this place is just horrible. But as bad and as over-priced as this place is I would give in about once or twice a year and order from them simply because there was nothing else Korean around here (I wouldnt say its over priced if the food was just mediocre instead of horrible). Now, I stopped ordering from them altogether and order from Koko Wings and Mokja. These are not Korean restaurants with a full menu, but Koko wings is good for what it is, and Mokja is at least better than Mill. When I say the food is horrible, I mean that they use the lowest quality ingredients to make food that taste like it was made by someone who thinks they can cook but cant. In addition, twice they had the nerve to deliver food that had gone bad (if youre not familiar with Korean food you might have eaten it thinking thats how it tastes and got sick), and thats twice out of maybe 10 times I ate food from there, which is high in percentage (thats about 10 times over 6 year period or so). I seriously dont know how this place is able to stay open all these years: maybe there are enough desperate Koreans by Columbia University who keeps giving them business. Maybe enough people who are not familiar with Korean food think its good- anyway, think twice before ordering from them. There ARE other Korean options in the neighborhood now.

On Dec 9, 2015 our party of three dined at The Mill Korean, a restaurant at 2895 Broadway and W. 113th Street near Columbia University in New York City. Since it was packed with Korean students, we assumed we would find a good, inexpensive Korean meal there and we were right. We read the menu, looked around at what others were eating and asked the waiter a few questions, and then made our choices. One of our party chose the tigum udon soup, a mild but very tasty and filling seafood broth that included thick Japanese noodles, shrimp, vegetables and other ingredients. The second person had saewoo bokumbop, which was a combination of shrimp and fried rice. The third somewhat spicy entrée chosen was the kimchi and pork dolsot bibimbop, which consisted of pieces of pork, cooked vegetables and kimchi (Korean style fermented vegetable) set atop a mound of rice and topped with a chili pepper sauce. All of the dishes were very tasty and satisfying, they were straight-from-the-stove hot and the price was right: $44.00 for three entrees, excluding tax and tip. A nice complimentary Korean tea was served. Will be back to explore the rest of the menu. Definitely recommend.

한식이 정말정말 먹고 싶을 때만 가요.. (그렇지 않으면 안 찾게 될 장소) 한국인으로서 뭔가 안타까웠어요. 외국인들에게 한식에 대한 좋은 기억을 주지 못할 것 같아서요. 맛있는 한식집이 다운타운에 얼마나 많은데.. 심지어 비싸요.. 한국에 있는 대학교들 학식보다 훨씬 비싸면서(거의 두세배) 맛은 그닥ㅜㅜ차라리 십오분 더 걸어서 Mokja를 가겠어요. 지난학기에 결국 한번 가고 두번 다시 안 가는 중이에요. I recommend that you go to Mokja, 15 minutes walk from here, if you want to try good Korean foods. As a Korean, its really sad that this is the only Korean restaurant near campus.

This was my first time having Korean so it was pretty good. Something that bored me though was the service. I noticed how all of the other customers (asians) were treated differently then me and my friend. Others were given a pitcher of water and we had to ask them for it. When we were finished we werent asked if we wanted anything else they just brought the check right away. My friend wasnt finished with her food but when she had walked away to go to the bathroom they grabbed all of our plates. I would understand the rush MAYBE if it was really busy. But it wasnt busy it was just full inside. I would have liked to have sat a little longer had some tea and tried a dessert (if it was available). They arent really stroller friendly or have high chairs available for the young ones. If your looking for cheap good food this is the spot. Just expect that youll be rushed out after they think youve finished.

TL/DR: A roll of the dice. It may be excellent, or it may be the last time. Now the review: The first two times I ate here the food was good, hot, and fresh. Service was very brusque and inattentive but it was still a 4/5 overall. I went back. My third time eating here was one of the worst food experiences I have had in NYC: my food came out cold, my "fried veggies" included a chunk of over-fried whitefish, the staff ignored the patrons unless you physically walked to the kitchen, and some of my food tasted like mothballs. Yes, mothballs. Just like one of the cooks smelled like mothballs when he walked through the restaurant for smoke breaks. It was disgusting, and a real shame. Eat here at your own risk: 2/5 stars in the off chance you get lucky.

I agree with most of people who reviewed. The service can be improved and the food got to be tastier. I was dying for cold noodle soup and I cant find any Korean food around here West Harlem so I decided to try it out. It had most of ingredients but it just wasnt tasty. Beef was too tough, noodle was flavorless, even soup could have been better. Kimchi and anchovy were pretty good, but rest of the dishes were pretty bad. I walked in and no one knew I needed to be seated for a while. Place wasnt even full. Later a waiter pointing at a table and asked me to sit but there were bunch of dishes still on the table. If you know the what the dish is supposed to taste like, dont go here. Youre gonna get disappointed.

The atmosphere was very good and the place was really popular. So naturally, I had great expectations. Sadly, the very opposite was true. The price was standard, but the food was subpar and our server was very rude. He insisted on taking away the plate still half filled with food. And he made sure multiple times we knew where the check was... the check we never requested for that he brought out in the middle of our meal. When we finally got up, he ushered over the next set of customers, before we could even put our coats on. Needless to say, I will NEVER be coming back again. Do not be fooled by the rating. Ive had better Korean food with cheaper price and better service plenty of times.

The place is almost always full. The ambience is cozy and you are transported to a Korean provincial home. The dishes are tasty and savory. The drinks are cool and unique, my kids call them "yummy" and are always looking forward to the green and pink lemonade or the lime ricky. This is one of our neighborhood gems. The prices are affordable for those on a budget . Service is fast. The different authentic Korean dishes are very tasty and are worth the try at each visit. The restaurant is very clean . This jewel of a place definitely adds vibrance and color and uniqueness to our diverse neighborhood.

Hidden gem in K town than you traditional Korean BBQ.They have very good duckboards! We like their set menus since it comes with chasers to keep you cool after eating their delicious spicy noodles/cakes.We got the mild, since its quite spicy!!! Even though you order a mild, you will want to get a couple rice balls! My favorite is the spam ball like a Muslim and their banana milk!Parking is tricky but they have a valet for $2.Would come back-- and bring my fire extinguisher.
