    Bossam (tasting menu portion)
    Alexis B.

    I had dinner at Danji last week before a Broadway play and had a very good time. I was enjoying a glass of orange while struggling to decide what to eat (the downside of a solo dinner - you can't try as much from the menu) when my waiter suggested I go with their 7-Course "Danji's Greatest Hits" Tasting menu for $83. I love a tasting menu, so I said yes please. With the tasting menu, I got to try: Yellowtail "HWI" Sashimi (with gochujang vinaigrette salad); Crispy and Soft Tofu (with ginger scallion dressing); "KP" Spicy Chicken Wings (with creamy onion dip); a Bulgogi beef slider (beef, spicy cucumber, and scallion salsa on a milk bread bun); Bossam pork belly (pork, pickled mu radish wrap); soy poached sablefish with rice (Alaskan black cod and braised daikon radish); and black sesame ice cream. All the dishes were good, but the tasting menu was too much food! I hate wasting food, but it was too much to finish (the last two savory courses were paired down a bit from their "Large to Share" size but were still sizable for a tasting menu). The service was great, and Danji has great ambiance (it's cool but small and intimate and still very comfortable). I'd happily return.

    The beau and I have wanted to try Danji for a while now. We decided to go during what turned out to be Restaurant Week which we normally ignore. However they had a great featured tasting menu that we both chose so we could taste multiple things between the two of us. The food is flavorful, bold, and some items are quite spicy! The atmosphere is warm and cozy allowing you to really settle in and enjoy the experience. The manager was wonderfully accommodating and kind, something you don't see so much these days, especially in a restaurant of this size. These guys definitely know what they are doing.

    11.06.2025@8:25p Walk-in for 3. We didn't have reservation so we sat on the bar. Is a cute little place. The service was friendly, especially the bartender was great. It gets busy here and there and he still try to keep up with us even though we didn't order any drink. Also gave my hubby a compliment glass of liquor . I am very please with the foods we have order and we all love the dipping sauce for the wings. We clean out every bit and pieces of everything we have order tonight . Would go back and try the rest of the menu items when get a chance.

    Small cozy restayrant that serves tapa styles Korean food. We were debating doing the 7 course tasting menu, but decided against it because we wanted to try to galbi dish which wasn't included. We opted for three large plates, the bossom, galbi Jim and kimchi fried rice. The bossom was well cooked, and served with thinly sliced radish and scallions/pickled dried radish to make a wrap. All the elements paired well together. The galbi was a nice chunky tender piece of meet in a sweet beef stew. The kimchi fried rice fell short and was a bit bland, and kind of pricey for what it was. Dishes were served individually to share, and probably had to be because the table was so small!

    We got the greatest hits seven course menu Food: - yellow tennis sashimi was perfect, light and well balance -Soft tofu was a stand out. It was perfectly balanced between the crispiness on the outside and the soft texture on the inside and was packed with flavor. This is a must order. - Wings were good but average. Probably our least favorite dish. - Beef sliders were delicious and an interesting play on Bulgogi. Every bite was a perfect blend of flavors. - pork belly was perfectly cooked and well balanced with the Radish - sable fish: second favorite dish of the night, hearty and decadent. - blood orange sorbet was great, Matcha ice cream was OK Service was outstanding It's on the smaller side so reservations for more than four or a must Would definitely go back and try the other dishes

    My friend had recommended for us to catch up at Danji over dinner as she wanted to finally try it after the unfortunate fire, so I was excited to have an opportunity to try another spot of the Korean dining scene in NYC! The space inside the restaurant is definitely tight, but the dim-lit atmosphere made it seem more cozy. I did appreciate that there were wall hooks to hang coats so I didn't have to worry about my puffer while eating. For our meal, my friend and I shared the crispy tofu, bulgogi sliders, and bossam. Starting with the tofu, I did love the juxtaposition between the crunchy exterior and the soft interior, but felt that there could have been more flavor or dressing. The bulgogi was great, but the star of the sandwich was the milk buns. As for the bossam, it was so tender and juicy and I was glad that there were radish wraps available to complement it. However, I had two issues with our experience. First, my friend and I felt really rushed at the end of our meal. The servers were attentive in that they removed plates, cleaned, and brought the next dish very promptly...but it was a little too immediate - as soon as we took our last bites, the servers whisked everything away. This was no problem until we had just finished the bossam and then right away, we were asked if we wanted anything else and when we said we were thinking about it, the waiter came back again in two minutes to ask again. This time, when we said no, the check was brought without us asking for it yet, and then we were checked in on again in a minute for our cards. I understand that speed and efficiency are important both for the quality of service and the running of the restaurant, but it was the manner in which all of this was done that really confused us. We had been sitting for less than an hour and were basically ushered out. I would've understood if we had been lingering for over 90 minutes (which I feel like is a standard allotment of time for a table), but this was not the case. This was disappointing as the point of going to a fine dining restaurant like this is to savor the food AND company of the meal. If we wanted to quickly eat and leave somewhere, we would have picked a fast food chain. We ended up having to search for a spot nearby to continue the last 20 minutes of our conversation and had a bad taste left in our mouths. My next issue was concerning the price and value of the meals. I understand that restaurants are entitled to setting their prices based on the hard work, ingredients, and finesse that goes into the dishes, and I respect the effort that it takes to produce a restaurant meal. I am also aware that at fine dining restaurants, there will be higher price tags on dishes that may be cheaper elsewhere. However, I felt that these dishes in particular were overpriced for the portion sizes and items that we received, and not worth the amount of money. This is my own personal opinion so please take it with a grain of salt, but for context, I am Korean and grew up cooking or going out to eat Korean food every day so this was my basis of judgment. I am not writing this amount of detail and opinion to purely bash on the restaurant, because I honestly thought the dinner was okay and I love to support Korean-run businesses and hope that Danji continues to do well. I just wanted to provide some details to show why this is a three-star rating for me and why I'm not pressed to return.

    Upscale Korean-fusion place! They have good food with great service! Definitely a date night spot!

    Fried tofu was delicious perfectly fried on the outside and soft on the inside. Would order again. The fish tasted familiar like mom's cooking in the best way. Bulgogi burgers were a little sweet for my taste but still yummy. Service was attentive.

    Danji is the best Korean food in the city. I've been going to Chef Hooni Kim's restaurants since I've moved to NYC 10 yrs ago. All the food is locally sourced so you know where all the ingredients are coming from. Best spicy rice cakes hands down. Danji is a must so don't bother with K town

    Do they have a private dinning room?

    No they do not.

    Is this restaurant wheelchair accessible?

    I would say a wheel chair can get in and out. Street level. Moveable chairs in the dining area.

    Is it okay to bring a child and do they offer high chairs?

    I'm not sure officially but in my humble opinion, as a parent of a now 2 year old, no. The space is relatively small and half the tables are high tops. If it was family friendly I would probably dine there at least once a week!

    Anyone know if they offer the tasting menu for lunch?

    I don't believe so.

Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

It's a small area with the tables pretty close together. We were given a table in the far corner, which was perfect for comfort and looking out at the restaurant. Two of us each ordered a glass of house wine, which were "ok." We opted for the Boqueria Experience, which is $65 per person and includes a variety of chef-selected tapas, a paella and an order of the restaurant's special JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA, which is described on the charcuterie menu as aged 48 months, with deep marbling, rich and nutty flavor. We enjoyed most of the tapas, including the potatoes, the beef/lamb balls, the salad and bruschetta. The croquettes were "ok" with the heavy aeoli masking some of the flavor. The seafood paella was good and was different from ones I've had in the past, with the caramelized layer on the bottom. Yum. Honestly, none of us was a big fan of the Jamon Iberico de Bellota. I'm sure it's special and luxurious, but we found it not to have much flavor. Frankly, it was a big disappointment for us. The service was beyond excellent. We were very pleased with the timing of the presentation of the meal, the superb water service and the general enthusiasm and pleasantness of the Staff. We will come back and try different items on the ala carte menu. I thought there would be more seafood and meat tapas offerings in the "Experience". Instead, it was a lot of cheese, vegetables, dates and bread. Although $65 per person likely was a good value for what we got, I think the tapas items were heavy on the lower cost tapas and that it wasn't a true top-of-the-line "Experience". A seafood dish or even a chicken dish (chicken wings) instead of one of the two croquette offerings would have helped.

The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.
