Came here for restaurant week and didn't know exactly what to expect. The appetizer bowl was actually really nice. It had nice texture from the fried seaweed and a decent amount of seafood in it. I enjoyed that the most from the fixed menu. The lamb chops really weren't special at all, decent sear on them,but otherwise not that memorable. The hanger steak tasted like kbbq and was cooked perfectly medium rare. I liked combining it with the sweet potato puree and it made for a nice dish. Didn't like either dessert so I wouldn't go there for those. Not sure I'd come back here outside of restaurant week.
Really don't know why 8282 has such great reviews. I honestly thought the food was ok, passable with hit and misses, but mostly misses sadly. We went with a group, which they told me over the phone already that there would be a minimum pp charge. I said that wasn't a problem but then we'd get some restaurant week menu and some à la carte. We were obviously able to go above the minimum without an issue. First the restaurant is extremely small. We had a table by the window which was so uncomfortable, there was a seat we couldn't even sit in because it was literally cramped up against another table. So definitely not ideal for large groups. And the chairs were so uncomfortable! Especially for preggie me! My behind was definitely hurting from the hard chairs. It was also hard for me to get around the restaurant because obviously it was so small. I had to walk around to get to the table. Fine, this is east village. What can you expect ! I thought to myself. Our server was good, nothing extraordinary to note. We did order 4 RW menus basically 2x of all the courses. And from à la carte, we ordered the shrimp skewers, beets salad, octopus, and clams. And we also got the scallops and 8282 steak. Ok let me start, the apps, shrimp skewers is a huge miss, shrimps were SO salty and just horrible. The beets salad was so sad and just wasn't fresh at all (the beets were DEHYDRATED beets! Not even fresh beets!) The octopus and clams were decent. I liked the octopus, was tender but nothing extraordinary. But definitely avoid the Gochugaru shrimp skewers and the beets salad. The RW apps, the ebi tuna, uni tartare (I did not try, but others said it was ok, but the rice underneath was good!) And the shrimp from RW has a good thick corn sauce, which I enjoyed. For the mains, I enjoyed most the 8282 steak! That had a delicious marinate! Definitely loved this. Also got the seared scallops dish, which was bland. The RW mains were a sirloin steak and cod fish, which were both ok. The sirloin was cooked almost rare, so I did not try. The cod fish had a glaze, which was ok. Overall, I honestly do not understand why this restaurant is hyped. The dishes are nothing special, salty and many misses than hits. Only hit for me was the 8282 steak and octopus. I had high expectations for 8282, and it missed.
honestly, this place is one of my favorite Korean spot, especially in lower east side. Everything was so good. It was hard to choose a favorite. Well worth the price. Service was amazing the server make sure that we are always comfortable and that we were enjoying our food. It does get pretty packed inside and it is only good for small groups or dates. They also have an outdoor seating if the weather is nice!
I've had this place on my radar for a while, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it out! Everything is designed for sharing, and we were recommended 4-6 dishes for a group of 2. Every single dish we had was delicious - standouts were honestly the clam sujebi (the broth was flavourful without being heavy, and the chewy noodles were such a pleasant surprise) and jjajang rice (just so yum, loved the black bean sauce and the scallop / shrimp on top), but you really cannot go wrong here. Service was a little bit on the slower side, but we came during peak hours on a weekend, so that was totally understandable - great vibe for talking and catching up with a friend. I'll definitely be back!
The place looks cozy and small inside. I would totally recommend making a reservation in advance. There is a two hour eating window for each table. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. We ordered a couple dishes to share with friends. 4 of us total. My friend started out with 4 shots of the day. To be honest, even though I enjoy girlie drinks, the shots were like juice lol not strong enough hahaha. We tried to order the original soju (typical green bottle) but surprisingly the restaurant doesn't have it. Maybe it's because we asked for the no-flavor one The restaurant gave us an alternative. The bottle looks slick, but I would prefer the green soju bottle. Wish i could have taken more pics... too many drinks
All the dishes were exceptional, with the hanger steak and octopus dishes standing out. The ebi, tuna, and uni restaurant week item was quite tasty.
I have mixed feelings about the food here. Came here for restaurant week so I'm not sure how representative those dishes are of their regular menu. I found their cocktails just alright. For the food, first off, the presentation of all the dishes was beautiful. However, the shrimp in the shrimp muhammara was definitely overcooked. Octopus was perfectly cooked and tender but kind of oily and I didn't think the accompanying sauces had much flavor. The seafood rice bowl with tuna tartare, shrimp, and uni was good and the seafood fresh, but didn't particularly stand out to me. Favorite dish was definitely the cod-- very flaky and went well with the sauce. Got the parmesan ice cream dessert because it intrigued me but I found it a very confusing dish-- flavors didn't mesh well, found the Parmesan pieces too large and obtrusive (I think grated would've worked better); I actually think I would've preferred the ice cream on its own.
Favorite dish that I must get again: the shrimp shawarma. That flavor has the power of shawarma spices, but has its own seasoning blend to make it taste uniquely Korean. Even when the shrimp skewers were done, I wanted to go in and slather that sauce on everything I had. The ttekbokki is probably their biggest starter dish, so if you're looking for something a little bit more carby to make the meal a little fuller, go for this cheesy skillet. The entrees were good as well. The mushrooms were a flavor bomb of umami and just so meaty and juicy, pairing well with the scallops. But nothing Service was really delightful. The person who helped us had great attention to detail, recommended dishes to make sure that we had appropriate portions to share between the both of us, and was considerate of our wait time/any inconvenience that occurred. Our total bill came out to be ~$200, including tip. Was the food good? Yes. Would I go again paying that price tag? No.
This place seriously deserves more hype! I have been here several times already and have never left disappointed. I came back for my birthday this time, and our server Jenna made the experience feel extra special. Some of my favorite dishes here are: EBI IKURA UNI TARTARE - A generous bed of fish over seaweed rice. I especially loved the seaweed tempura that came with it. LITTLENECK SOOJEBI (my favorite) - The broth was light and comforting. The clams were cooked perfectly and the noodles had a chewy texture that I really enjoyed. PERILLA OIL PASTA - Savory, nutty, and refreshing all at once. JJAJANG BORI BAP - Thick, sweet scallops served over savory barley rice. The flavors worked so well together. You really cannot go wrong with anything here. I would recommend coming with a group so you can try more dishes. As for drinks, both the Yuzu Matcha and the White Rabbit slush were dangerously good.
8282 had always been on my list to try, and I was finally able to go last week, and it definitely did not disappoint! They have a pretty decent sized space with some tables, and bar seating as well. Located in the heart of lower east side, 8282 is a great place to start the night before you go bar hopping (which is what we did). I definitely recommend making a reservation to eat here. There is a cancellation/no show fee, but they get pretty full quickly. They were super accommodating when I called to adjust my reservation from 3 to 4 people, and had set aside seats at the bar for us instead. Seating time is also 2 hours max, and you don't need to have the full party there to be seated. Alex was our bartender and waiter, and he was the best. He gave me and my friends free shots, was super friendly throughout the night, and all in all made it a fun night! The yuzu matcha magic cocktail was so good, and whatever magic shot Alex whipped up was delicious. The food was spectacular. We were hungry, so we ordered 5 dishes, and they were all hits. My favorite was definitely the beef tartare, it was savory and flavorful, yet somehow refreshing at the same time. The jjajang bori-bap and 8282 steak also got snatched up quickly among us. If I ever go back, I'd actually consider doing their pre-fixe menu instead, so you can try way more dishes! All in all, I'll definitely be back. Another friend of mine also visited a couple days ago and also loved their food. 8282 you will be seeing me again!!
We tried 8282 during restaurant week and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant week menu came with a salad, appetizer, entree and dessert. I love the ebi ikura Uni tartare appetizer which came with fried seaweed and rice underneath. The seafood is fresh and the shrimp was amazing. The grilled ribeye according to my partner was super tender and flavorful. I love the miso cod as well which was well seasoned and could easily be break apart by spoon. The portions were actually decent that we felt full afterwards which rarely happens with restaurant week menus. We were not that big of a fan of the injeolmi ice cream since the cheese texture felt a bit odd with the ice cream. But overall good service and an overall nice date spot!
I've walked past this restaurant so many times and finally made a reservation and I'm glad I did. The service was absolutely wonderful everyone was friendly and when my food was ready who ever was available brought it over and explained the dish so I got to meet everyone and got my food fast. I was sat at the bar which was fun to be able to watch the drinks get made. I got the beet salad, scallops and the shrimp ikura. The beet salad was the best beet salad I ever had and definitely want to return for that, the scallops were so delicious and everything blended well and the shrimp ikura was fresh and a really great amount I left full. The yuzu matcha magic was absolutely magic best cocktail ever. Loved the restaurant and service. 2nd visit was absolutely another 5 star visit. I had to get the beet salad again which was just as delicious as the first time, this time I did the pre fix I got the octopus, the miso cod and the panna cotta and wow everything was perfect the flavors were on point the octopus has a lovely char and the burrata helped balance the spice the miso wow the mushroom sauce and it was tender with the glaze honestly chefs kiss the noodles were refreshing and the panna cotta definitely a favorite. Service at the bar was absolutely wonderful friendly fast the drinks were on point and I was even given a lovely lime shot. Definitely my favorite spot and can't wait to go back and try the other items.
Came here with my husband for a date night and left here pretty disappointed. Here's everything that we tried: Ebi ikura uni tartare It looked amazing and I was really excited to try it. While the portion on the uni and ebi were pretty generous, everything was kinda tasteless? Not sure why but I just couldn't taste anything but sesame oil Cheesy Tteok-bokki It just tasted okay. The chicken was cut too small to find in a pool of sauce. The rice cake was also too soft for my liking 8282 steak Worst dish out of everything that we tried. It was too salty and sweet Grilled lamp chops It was also only okay. I really liked the mint perilla puree though Bibim guksu It was part of the pre fixe menu. Probably my favorite dish out of everything. The yuzu dressing was very refreshing Yuzu panna cotta Also only okay. It's not too sweet at least! Overall, my experience here was really just okay. Presentation of the food looked great but it really just tasted mediocre. I also found it weird that they didn't ask how we like our steak and lamb cooked. They were both medium well. The restaurant was also kinda cramped and it was very loud. Don't think I'll come back again.
Came here for Summer Restaurant Week and it was really worth it. For $60, you get 3 courses plus a canapé. My friend and I ordered the RW menu for 1 and then added 2 other dishes from the main menu. My favorite was the Ebi Tuna Uni Tartare, which was so fresh and delicious. The 8282 Steak was also memorable because it was such a big portion. I know all the dishes are meant to be shared but this one in particular NEEDS to be shared. It's a lot of steak for just one person. Another highlight was the dessert. We got the Goguma Pudding from the RW menu, which was surprisingly cheesy but balanced well with the sweet potato, and the Injeolmi Ice Cream (vanilla ice cream with Parmesan cheese). You do have to like savory desserts to enjoy these, which I really do. My friend thought they were just okay. Tip: Google Maps points to the corner of Stanton and Allen, but that's a bar. This is actually located next door at 84 Canapé (gazpacho) 7/10 Ebi Tuna Uni Tartare 10/10 Grilled Octopus 9/10 8282 Steak 10/10 Honey Miso Glazed Black Cod 10/10 Goguma Pudding 9/10 Injeolmi Ice Cream 9/10 Gochujang Margarita 9/10 read more
Great spot with tasty cocktails, creative food, and generous service. Went here for a bday dinner and the team were very nice. We ordered a range of food, wine and cocktails. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The chicken, steak, and tuna tartare were some highlights. I really like the yuzu matcha cocktail, and the lychee martini! The restaurant is not huge so recommend reservations, and there is a bit of outdoor seating. Lots of red lighting inside. read more
Came for RW menu mid August after my friend made a reservation for the two of us. Service was attentive but the food came out very fast, almost to the point where we felt a little rushed. *canape: mussels with cheese foam, the mussels were sweet/not fishy tasting at all and the cheese foam was a delightful pairing *first course: ebi tuna uni tartare, came with both seaweed sheets and seaweed tempura sheets. I liked this course a lot, the egg yolk and uni are both very luxurious tasting and the different permutations that can be made with the different ingredients was fun. Shiso and green onion was a nice balance, and the rice was seasoned well, could taste the individual grains. *main course: miso cod, the pasta was cooked al dente, and the cod was flaky, but the rich sauce was eventually overpowering and missing some acidity for the brightness *dessert: injeolmi ice cream: I was not a fan of the Parmesan cheese as I felt like it was distracting both taste wise and texturally Left very full, $60 PP felt reasonable for the variety and quality of the food. The space inside is quite limited so the tables are very close together, and we were sat at the table closest to the restroom (of which there is only one) so a lot of people were coming/going or waiting in the vicinity of our table, which was not ideal. read more

I went during restaurant week and thought it was such a good deal so had to stop by. We unfortunately did not get sat by the wall and since it is a small intimate restaurant, we had people constantly walking by the table on both sides. Now that's the only downside to our experience. The food? amazing! The uni/shrimp + cracker was so good that I was shocked since I haven't had that tasty raw shrimp before. The octopus was perfectly cooked and tasted great with the sauce it comes with. The 8282 steak was soooo flavorful with the mashed sweet potato and pesto! delicious! The scallops were cooked well but the flavors were a bit bland. And by the time the lamb chops came out, we were stuffed full but the spice was great and lamb was so juicy! read more

So so good. I've been meaning to try this place for months and finally got the chance to The plates look small but it catches you off guard and makes you full. The uni dish had rice under it, unbeknownst to us. It was so fresh and creamy, you have to get it The clams were good but what made this my favorite dish was the fact that there were some thick noodles attached. It's so flavorful- another must have. The jjang had juicy big scallops but I was never a fan of black bean sauce- still good butI'd pass on this next time. The perilla oil pasta was another surprise. It's light and the flavors were like nothing i've had before. I'd recommend this dish as well We got the melon drink, and the waiter was kind enough to give us free shots and a lychee drink as well. So nice!!!! read more
Came here because there was a reservation opening at 5:30pm. This spot usually has a line. The restaurant is kinda small and packed. Has good vibes for dates and small groups. They also have bar seats. The waiter we had was very attentive. Food here was average 4/5. The dessert were 5/5. Overall good experience. read more
3.5/5 but I'll round up because the servers were nice. I'm sure this place is great with the normal menu but the restaurant week was NOT worth it. We definitely felt hungry afterwards lol. We basically got one of everything on the menu - they give you two options for each course so it's a little limited. The rice bowl was actually really good but there was too much rice. My bf got the shrimp which was basically 3 shrimp in a yummy curry sauce. My black cod ravioli was divine- so so good but sadly I need more than 3 ravioli!! My bf liked his steak but they never asked his preference on how it should be cooked and it was served medium/well-done. The ice cream dessert was really good and by far our favorite over the watermelon slush, which was literally just watermelon slush with pop rocks. Everything was really good (besides watermelon slush) but simply not worth the $60 pp price. I'd come back here to order off the regular menu. read more
We went there during restaurant week. It was really good and service. The place is really small so I would recommend getting a reservation in advance. The food and portions were good. We took the dinner restaurant week menu and I ordered a cocktail as well ( with Gochujang ! Delish!) The wagyu meat balls were very juicy; the miso glazed cod was tasty. We also got a special squid appetizer which was amazing read more
Walk in on a drizzly Saturday. Seated right away at the bar. Started with gochuchang margarita. Bit on the sweet side but tasty. Moved on top "chirashi" Korean style with ikura, uni and ebi. Seaweed toasts were crispy and paired well with all seafood. This was my favorite dish. Next came scallops. I was expecting larger u12 but these were also good. Surprisingly they had no color. Rice with shrimp and squid ink was good but was a touch sweet . Everything could have used acid. Last came out clams. Tasty but again a bit too sweet !! read more

We are 8282 regulars for birthday dinners! Small intimate vibes with a great playlist all night! Their rotating drink menu is always intriguing and the staple dinner items are very solid! Cocktails: 5/5 White Rabbit 4.7/5 TQP 4.5/5 Yuzu Matcha Magic We tried some newer interesting menu items that unfortunately needed some work on the execution standpoint. 4.5/5 Lemon Sole -- fish was cooked perfectly, tender and flaky. Tomato based sauce was lovely, missing the hint of lemon though. 4/5 Gochujang Butter Chicken -- not particularly reminiscent of butter chicken, maybe similar to a Southeast curry vibe, but tasty. 3/5 Pork Wellington -- the one menu item we really couldnt get behind. Waited 30mins for this dish to come out, and the puff pastry was raw and stodgy still. Flavor profile was like a classic side at Thanksgiving, heavy on the sweet potato and apple. Redeemingly quality was that the pork was exceedingly tender. The menu items I stand by: 5/5 Chawanmushi -- very umami, generous seafood! 4.5/5 Clam sujebi -- lovely mesty clams, chewy sujebi, a bit of a citrus kick from the broth! 5/5 Scallop Boribap -- perfectly cooked scallop, usually not a fan of barley but this was done so well. 5/5 Dakgalbi Kimchibap -- so rich and flavorful! 4/5 Perilla Pasta -- brazino was great, pasta sauce was a bit watery for my preference. (complimentary) Birthday Shots 1st visit: coffee liquour,banana liquour, oatmilk! Most recent visit: chestnut makgeolli Thank you to our waiter for these off menu shots! read more
I'd recommend 8282 for a fun date night. We had a reservation on a Saturday just when they opened, so although the space is small, it didn't feel cramped. We got to pick a corner table at the window, which added to the cost vibe. We chose the KFC and clams for appetizers and shared the steak. Both appetizers were very good, and the clams had a few noodles in the broth - unexpected, but nice, and that made the dish more unique. But the real star of the show was the steak. It was the first time I had hanger steak, and it is now my new favorite cut: very flavorful and tender, and complimented beautifully by the ultra-smooth sweet potato mash and pesto on the side. Although we were pretty stuffed, we couldn't help but order dessert. We got the yuzu panna cotta and the choco ooyoo pie. The pie was pretty good, but a little bland in flavor; both the chocolate and the pistachio were quite mild. On the other hand, the panna cotta packed a huge punch! If you like sour flavors, this is the dessert for you. We loved it. They have a short N/A cocktail list, and I ordered a last summer spritz which was very good. Like the panna cotta, the yuzu-matcha combination was refreshing and nicely earthy. All in all, 8282 is worth a trip, especially for their steak and panna cotta. read more

Came recently for the NYC restaurant week menu. It was priced at $60 pp which I felt was a great deal for the portions. The pre fixe comes with a starter, entree, and dessert. I had checked out this menu prior and if I'm being honest I came for the ebi ikura uni tartare. I thought it was delicious and i loved the seaweed chips it came with they were super flavorful. The scallops on the main dish were super fresh and seared nicely as well. I think it was on a bed of barley? Wasnt a huge fan of the texture but the sauce was good. It reminded me of the korean black bean noodle sauce. The dessert was probably my least favorite item. The base itself could have been enough for me personally (maybe topped with fruit or even just plain matcha powder). but the marshmallow and pop rock combo was a tad overwhelming. Overall great set up for restaurant week with good portions! read more
Everything here was good. Perfectly shared between the 4 of us. GRILLED OCTOPUS. Just had octopus in Mexico and was hesitant to get it but glad we did. This def hit. 4.5/5 CHEESY TTEOK-BOKKI. Prob one of the best I've had. 5/5. LITTLENECK SOOJEBI. I like the concept. Could have used more soojebi. 4/5 PERILLA OIL PASTA. Didn't have much flavor. 3.5/5 GOCHUJANG BUTTER CHICKEN. Def tasted non-korean which was a good mix from what we already ordered. 5/5 JJAJANG BORI-BAP. One of the most creative dishes. 5/5 8282 STEAK. So tender. Melt in your mouth 5/5 L.A. IBERICO PORK GALBI. Good but not wow. 4/5 Overall one of the better restaurants in NY. Great experience read more
Genuinely one of my favorite restaurants I have tried so far! Everything was SOO delicious! The only con I will say is that we were seated in this kind of awkward table in the corner (not the bar or couch seats they have). They also recommend you order a lot more dishes than you need, but definitely at least 1 dishpp. - Ebi Ikura Uni Tartare SOO Delicious!!! If you're here, definitely get this! They gave options of both regular and fried seaweed crisps. The rice was fluffy and well seasoned, where all the toppings on top making it even more delicious, especially the raw shrimp. However, the photos make it appear a bit bigger than they are - kind of small in portion size (maybe good for 2-3 ppl to share). - 8282 Steak This steak was SOO tender, so juicy, and so flavorful! They come with a side of two sauces (i'm not sure what they are called), but even the sauce cooked with the steak was delicious. If you're here, this is the one dish I would definitely recommend getting!! It was so yummy, we ordered two of these LOL! - Lamb Chops These were extremely flavorful as well, and super tender. One order came with four lamb chops. It comes with this red sauce (which isn't spicy!!) at the bottom, which really added a nice flavor to the dish. - KFC Chicken Pretty average, but had great flavor (as all the other dishes). It's just fried chicken with their sauce coated on top, so nothing too crazy. - Perilla oil pasta This was kind of underwhelming in my opinion; there was nothing too special about this dish, but it tasted good. I would try a different dish if I were to go next time. It comes with this sauce, a bunch of perilla on top, and a seared branzino on top. - Cheesy tteok-bokki Tasted pretty good! Rice cakes are a bit bigger than the ones I normally get at the supermarket, but they come with chicken inside, which I didn't expect! This was super flavorful as well, and not spicy at all. They were very generous with the cheese on top, and had a nice cheese pull, haha. Overall, great experience and would definitely come back! read more
Service: Great ~ Everyone is friendly and super helpful with any questions! Ambiance: The place is cute but maybe a little small and gets a bit cozy once it gets busy, but the servers are doing amazing navigating the space. I did see two tables at the front that were pretty squished together (pictured) but it also lowkey blocked the entrance for a little ~ There's also outdoor seating! Food: Overall yummy! Cute creative menu with nice presentation :) Def want to go back try some of their other items ~ I think we got more "traditional" korean items which were yummy but nothing that really wowed Loved the Ebi, Uni, Ikura Tartare ~ great quality and super yummy The Perila Noodles, DakGalbi, and Iberico Pork were also good but again nothing amazinggg ~ But good! The fish on the noodles was actually the star of the dish. I think maybe management needs to work on space and how many tables they take at a time but I think the service is really working with what they have!!! read more
the presentation here is amazinggggg but portions are teeny weenie. expect to spend lots of $$$$ or leave hungry, might be a me problem. The color combos of dishes and textural flavor balance is just perfectttttt They have outdoor seating but it's a bit cramped read more
We came here during restaurant week and the first thing that greeted me was the boisterous energy inside. I loved the feeling and the vibes reminded me of the pojangmacha in Korea. I really enjoyed the food overall with the cooked fish leaving me wanting more. I wished the interior matched the vibe more, but overall would definitely check it out again. I'm not sure how different the experience will be though in a regular setting since I went during restaurant week. read more

Food was great! Steak was a standout. Super juicy and the sauces were great, however they were arguably a bit too strong (too sweet) so I wouldn't douse my steak in the sauce but a slight dip would suffice. The tuna tartare was too salty and the fish wasn't super fresh, hence the 4 stars. The beet salad was wow. So sweet and juicy and those lil cream dallops were a great touch. Perhaps could use a bit more lettuce or a different type of lettuce. The Parmesan on the ice cream were too long and the dryness didn't really melt in with the flavor so I'm not a huge fan of it, ice cream and the nutty sauce in the bottom were whatever, I wouldn't come here for the dessert. Expect to wait for a table on a Friday night. read more
Stopped by for restaurant week and was pretty satisfied that we got to try the majority of the dinner menu! We were seated outside, and were a bit frustrated that the food we ordered kept being forgotten. In terms of the food, I like how they provided a canapé of chili oil tofu, as I found it to be a very refreshing start to the dinner. We started with the ebi ikura uni tartare and Chilean sea bass. I personally preferred the sea bass more, but the tartare was a full portion and was quite filling. We then tried the lamb chops and jjajang bori-bap. The lamb was my personal favorite, though my friend preferred the jjajang dish. I found the scallops to be incredibly flavorful, but the jjajang sauce was too heavy of a pairing. I was not the biggest fan of their desserts either. But overall, I liked the dishes and would come back for the lamb chops and tartare! read more
Trendy Korean fusion restaurant in Lower East Side NYC. We came to 8282 on a Tuesday evening with reservations and were seated promptly. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. For food, we ordered the Tuna Tartare + Kim Bukak ($26), Littleneck Soojebi ($20), Mushroom Party ($16), 8282 Steak ($28), and Jjajang Bori-bap ($28). We also ordered all three mocktails - Gochujang Margarita Zero, Last Summer Spritz, and Coco Calpico, which were $14 each. For dessert, we tried both desserts - Ooyoo Pie ($14) and Injeolmi Ice Cream ($12). The Tartare + Kim Bukak was made with bluefin tuna with sesame oil and aioli on a fried seaweed chip topped with uni, capers, and egg custard. It was delicious. The Littleneck clams were really good and came in a butter scallion pepper broth. We ordered a bowl of rice just to have with the leftover broth. The Mushroom Party had an assortment of roasted mushrooms, portobello tempura, rosemary panko, cashew, tofu yogurt, and mushroom purée. It was unique and tasty. The 8282 Steak was a grilled soy-marinated hanger steak that came with mashed sweet potatoes, and pine nut basil pesto. The Jjajang Bori-bap were seared scallops and shrimp with black bean sauce, truffle paste, and mushroom paste over barley. Both were so good. All of the food was amazing. The mocktails were good, maybe a little pricey. The desserts were really interesting. The ice cream was a vanilla ice cream with Korean multigrain, honey and parmesan cheese. The slice of pie had some passionfruit or citrus flavor and was very good. Overall, we had a great dining experience at 8282. The food was superb, the drinks were good, and the desserts were great. The lighting was pretty dark so couldn't get too good photos. read more
Food here was solid. Not to mention our waiter was very attentive and gave us many great recommendations. As a party of 5, we ordered a ton of dishes to share between us. Every dish was very flavorful to make us all eat to our hearts content. I also ordered a Banana alcoholic drink, which was a little on the pricier side for a small glass, but no complaints here, the vibes were good! My favorite dish was the 8282 Steak because it paired really well with the mashed sweet potato and the pine nut basil. Overall, a 10/10 for this experience. Would definitely come back to try their other amazing dishes as well. read more
