My cold-weather go-to for decent homemade tofu (free starter pp), soondubu (Korean tofu stew), Samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup) & banchan. Better wait times 4 a table vs. 32nd st shops.
This Korean "bingsu" spot (vs. Snowdays) has better-tasting, lighter shaved ice options: Lychee, Mango, Strawberry! Fresh fruit toppings sliced on spot..so not to easily bruise/rot. + best Milk Tea!
A hidden gem (but not for long) with perfectly spicy Korean hot wings — layers of heat with rich black pepper flavor — and a full kitchen of hit-list dishes: katsu, soba, curry, bi bim bop, et al. ❤❤❤
Nishi’s pistachio cake comes from executive chef Joshua Pinksy’s mother. The super nutty, moist slice is served with a quenelle of thickened ricotta that is texturally similar to a scoop of ice cream. Подробнее.
The cace e pepe is by far the star of the show, along with the chicken and dumplings. The spicy beef Sichuan was ok but nothing special.
David Chang's awesome, new Korean leaning Italian restaurant. Feels like Ssam Bar in ambition, quality, and price. Get all the pastas: Cace e Pepe, Chicken & Dumplings (soup), and Clams Grand Lisboa.
Lives up to David Chang's reputation. The dishes are inventive and flavorful. The pastas in particular are not to be missed- we enjoyed the Ceci e Pepe, Clams Grand Lisboa, and Spicy Beef Sichuan.
New ramen import by way of Korea. They make their ramen on site and their broth is on point. Loved their black ramen and tonkotsu ramen. Their gyoza is must.
Happy hour 3-7. $3 drafts & $1 oysters. Light discount on the delicious wings. Do try the truffle fries. Yum. No Wi-Fi unless you know the password for Rong's Wi-Fi. ;)
Kimchi jigae at Hahm Ji BachNext time you’re craving a sinus assault at 4am, head to Queens for the kimchi jigae at 24-hour Korean restaurant Hahm Ji Bach. This traditional stew arrives in a bubbl...
Come after midnight and you can literally split an entire galbi/kalbi meal with soondubu and hella banchan for around $12 between 2 people. Best, probably yummiest late night deal in NYC ❤️
Very good food. They have a brunch of nice lunch sets. Loved the Beef and the chicken. Tofu soup was also very good
Gyoza stuffed wings hype is justified. One of the best Korean fried chicken I've had (v. Boka & MFC). If you're a saucy foodie, go for the other flavors. If you're not, original fried all the way.
There's three floors: ground floor for walk-ins and smaller reservations, the second for private parties, and the third for large group reservations.
Korean BBQ taco & rice bowl truck has rolled onto the scene w/ delish must-trys - spicy pork! Here Tue's & Fri's around 11am-3:30pm.
Not many decent Korean places on UES..so, this is my go-to delivery. Pricey for a shabby takeout w/ only ok kimbap, mandoo, pajeon, bulgogi & bibimbap. Save w/ the $9.95 M-F Lunch w/ 2 entrees+1 side.
High quality Korean bbq. Your best bet is to go with the chefs recommended fixed menu for $45 and add Korean bacon, a highlight. Place is quite overhyped as noted by users Foursquare rating
Unlike others that entertain w/ same mediocre Chef tricks, show & food, Kiku serves a # of options apart frm tasty teppanyaki: amazingly fresh & creative sushi rolls & other yummy Korean dishes.
Love how surprisingly fresh & creatively plated the sushi is. Just save me a spot at the sushi bar & order the perfectly fried gyoza along w/ the uni, Grilled Tuna, & Volcano rolls.
Good Korean food in the neighborhood if you are lazy to take the subway down to Korea town! We ordered Vegetarian and bulgogi bibimbap, both were really good. Don’t forget the kcloud beer!!
