From the service, to the food, to the ambiance, everything is actually perfect Came on a Sunday night at 10 pm so it was relatively quick to get a table for two. But I can see why there would be such a long wait during normal dinner time hours. The inside is so cute. It's very cozy and comfortable The staff was extremely friendly, smiley, attentive. All around exceptional attitude and service like this can be hard to come by. It really seemed like they loved their job and loved being there, the authenticity of their service made my dining experience truly memorable. They would come and ask if we were doing okay multiple times, refilled our waters whenever they ran low, asked if it was our first time dining with them and since it was, they explained everything to us The meals, wow!! I ordered the stir-fried squid and my friend ordered the bulgogi. Both were packed with flavor!!!! The stir-fried squid is spicy. I definitely liked the bulgogi more since I can't tolerate spice but i would definitely come back to try the other menu items as well. I would come back again, even if bulgogi was the only item on their menu. The side dishes were my favorite because it elevated the meal so much. It was so fun to try everything and even though there were so many different flavors, everything was seasoned well and tasted delicious I must say, not every viral IG spot is worth the time and effort but this restaurant is a must. I would wait 1 hr,10x over 100/10 recommend!!!! read more

I won a gift card from a popup for this restaurant, so I figured, why not come by and try their lunch specials? It's nearby where I used to hang out a lot growing up, and I've never seen this place so definitely a recent addition to the neighborhood. I came by for lunch two separate times, and ordered the pork bone soup one time, and the donkatsu another time. Both came out SUPER quick (within 5 minutes), faster than most, and the food was piping hot and FRESH. Now that's some really speedy service haha. The portion sizes, especially for lunch prices, is a VERY good deal. The pork bone soup had multiple bones in them with very big chunks of meat attached to it, and the donkatsu came with two freshly fried filets topped with their own unique sauce. And both come with side dishes that to pair with it. The pork bone soup comes with chives, marinated onion, cucumber kimchi, and rice, and the donkatsu comes with potato macaroni salad, pickled radish, shredded lettuce topped with dressing, and a bowl of rice as well. The pork bone soup was nice and hearty, and the soup had some decent flavor to it. The meat on the pork bones was tender, with a lot of flavor, and a bit of chew still to it, executed very well. I love the fattier bits in particular, mmph. The cucumber and kimchi on the side were nice too, but I'm very partial to the marinated onion, that soaked up all that sweet marinade into it and softened it up. I think it complimented the soup so well. The donkatsu was also super crispy, and not at all dry, a feat considering that it's pounded paper thin before frying, which can lend to it drying out superfast amongst other things. The fried pork was good, and the sauce that's paired with it is its own thing, a bit like american style gravy, but with a sweeter, tangy element added to it to make it its own unique Korean donkatsu sauce. I like that it's not like japanese tonkatsu, it's its own thing, that they created for their own preferences and tastes. It pairs very well with the pork cutlet. The entire cutlet is all lean meat, but I would prefer a little bit of fat to it hehe, personal preference ( who doesn't love fat with meat right). The potato macaroni salad was excellent too, nice and creamy to cut the fried aspect of the main part of the dish. I didn't even notice it the first time I came here but at the end of the meal, you are also allowed to get a free hot drink from the machine near the exit, either a coffee or hot chocolate. It's just a little something but I think it's a nice, cut touch to end off the meal. Overall, the service was fast, quick, and nice, the food is tasty, with big portions and a good price point for lunch, and the ambiance is almost exactly like the taxi driver restaurants in Korea (except a little less dingy, maybe because it's still a pretty new restaurant haha). A very good location to the neighborhood! :3 read more

Very comfy vibe in here. Super packed and you will need to get here early to walk in and get a table but on a busy night you could be waiting for 2 hours. A good date night restaurant. I loved everything. i ate everything until my stomach hurt the strawberry rice wine was good too!! the wait time was long though ~2 hours so worth it though read more

Comforting vibes, comforting food. The ambiance suggests home-style cooking, and it clearly appeals toward a mass audience. The service was really great, the portion was generous, and I enjoyed my spicy pork. However $32 is a high price to pay to not have (as traditionally expected) free refills on banchan and the side veggies. I have never experienced personal banchan so that was cool. I'm glad I tried it. I only wish I got to try the drink that everyone mentioned at the end! read more

This place has blown up all over social media, so it was not a surprise that there was a wait. My party of 3 waited about an hour before getting seated. Menu is pretty straight forward, you pick 1 out of the 4 main dishes and they all come with their own side dishes. Very filling and everything was very fresh. Each dish comes with rice and soup (unless you order the Bibimbap, only the soup comes). This restaurant is on the smaller side, so I would recommend coming earlier before the dinner rush hour to snag a seat! read more

Came here on a Thursday night as a group of 3 without reservation. We arrived at around 6:30 and were told the wait time would be around 2 hours. We ended up waiting for around 1.5 hours and got seated at around 8. We got the spicy pork and Bulgogi for our entree and the meal came with different banchan, rice, and soup. My favorite banchan was the rice cake and sausage skewers! The rice cake was crispy and the sauce on it was sweet and savory. The other banchan were just okay. Between the spicy pork and bulgogi, I liked the spicy pork more. The spicy pork had a nice charred flavor but it wasn't really spicy. It was one of the best Korean spicy pork that I have had though. The restaurant had a cool retro vibe but I don't think the food was that special for that long of a wait time. I would suggest make a reservation if you can and I certainly won't visit if the wait time is anything longer than one hour. read more

I was happy to goto a traditional Korean place that had only a few things on the menu but boy they were really good and perfectly executed (as best as you can get in NYC outside of Korea) Absolutely make a reservation before coming because it's very tiny, because walk ins will most likely wait an hour or more depending on the day. The ambiance is just like korea so you eat and go, which they are good at hustling the people out you know to keep the same culture vibes haha. read more

Food 4.5/5 Service 3/5 Value 4/5 I've been wanting to try Kisa since they first opened, and they did not disappoint, food was incredible! We didn't make a reservation beforehand, so the wait was pretty long on a Friday night - about 1 hour and 15 min for a 3 ppl around 7:15pm The menu is super simple. They offer about four main dishes, and the rest of the experience revolves around quality banchans. Each person is required to order a main, so we tried one of each protein: bulgogi, spicy pork, and spicy squid. All were cooked perfectly with that delicious grill charred flavor! Gave it that extra oomph The banchans were also amazing - fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. That said, the service could definitely use some improvement. Staff weren't very attentive - we didn't get our barley tea even after asking, and no one came by to refill our water throughout our dining experience :/ read more

Lunch Review Donkatsu is amazing. It was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. The sauce was savory and delicious. Our favorite item Gamjatang is hearty and filling Portions are huge Limited banchan with meals. Will definitely go back for dinner especially in the winter. Perfect winter meal. Also get the pear puree soda Service was fast. Staff was attentive read more

I've been here several times, always on a weekday, and always a walk-in. I've never waited longer than 20 minutes. In the times I've eaten here, I've tried everything, but the squid, and the spicy pork is my by far my favorite. What makes this a place that I keep going back to is the banchan. Yes, some are better than others, but overall, their assortment of banchan is well-balanced. Given that I can't drive to Flushing after work every time I want Korean, this is a great option, and I'd recommend checking it out. read more

My friends and I arrived 15 min before opening and we were towards the back of the line and almost made it in, but our friend was late so we had to put our name down and wait another 40 min since they only seat completed parties. The wait was worth it though! Each person has to order their own dish so we ordered the squid and the pork and both were very flavorful and yummy! The banchan were equally as good and the rice and soup just completed the meal. The restaurant is small, but gives a home-y and authentic vibe. Will def come back and bring more friends & fam to try! read more

Probably one of the best meals I've had in New York. I went for the dinner menu and I loved it so much. We got there around 6 and there was an hour wait, my partner was recommended this restaurant by a friend so we just had to try it. To my surprise there was only one thing on the menu, which was Baek Ban. But don't get thrown off because this dish comes with an array of flavors. According to Kisa, Baek Ban is a traditional Korean meal comprising of rice, soup, and banchan, simple yet absolutely perfect for dinner. They had the option of choosing bulgogi, spicy pork, spicy squid, or bibimbap as the main entree. I went with bulgolgi and my partner chose the spicy pork. Eating this meal was so much fun, with all the bonchon, rice, and meat they gave us the flavor combinations seemed endless. There was spicy, savory, sweet, sour, tender, crunchy, and crisp bites all throughout the platter. It truly hit EVERY spot in my taste buds. The bulgolgi was perfectly marinated and tender and the spicy pork and a smoky flavor that went partner loved. The bonchon given was: marinated shrimp, kimchi, seaweed, mung bean jelly salad, sausage and rice cake skewers, omelet roll, and potato jorim (like a beef stew). All these flavors paired well together harmoniously. There wasn't a bite I mixed up that wasn't jaw droppingly delicious. I LOVED the meal so much. No bad notes at ALL, not even in the slightest. The service was quick and efficient, the waiters checked in a good amount of times. My partner got a bloody nose while we were waiting outside and the staff kindly provided us with paper towels. Being inside the restaurant felt like I was in someone's home, the vibe of the restaurant was comfortable and lively. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to enjoy their food, the staff looked happy to be working there, which all just made the dine in experience more enticing. I would definitely come here again and would recommend everyone to go when they're looking for a bite that is simple but makes you feel every sensation in your taste buds. This meal was comforting, the staff was amazing, and it's worth the wait if there's a long wait. read more

This place gets busy fast right after opening - highly recommend making a reservation! You get to choose 1 of 4 dishes and it comes with a large variety of side dishes. It's fun and unique to be able to try so many things in one go, but would say most of the side dishes are either dry, lacks flavor, or just wasn't that good. The spicy squid was a great main dish, but bulgogi was really dry and lacking a bit as well. Worth coming once! read more

Kisa - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Celebrated our birthdays here in January during the girls trip to NYC (my two friends and I have birthdays within a month). I'm a huge fan of Korean food so I'm kind of picky when it comes to it. This place exceeded the expectations: both food quality and service were spectacular. It's probably one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to, actually. The server got us two complimentary rounds of shots and had them with us, the experience was fun! The place itself had very limited seating, and they fill up QUICK so plan ahead and make a reservation if possible. I will 100% be back when I'm in NYC again. read more

Super tasty, great value! We were craving some Korean flavors for dinner and happily came across Kisa Saturday night. The dining room was totally full but we got on the call list and got a table in 15min. If you're visiting on the weekend for dinner it might be a good idea to get a quick reservation! The dining room is cozy and bright, and pleasantly decorated in that homey way that often signifies good meals to come. Everyone is required to order a platter, but you'd be missing out not to anyway. There are 4 main protein options, and it comes with soup, rice, and 7 bonchan. We loved our squid stir fried in gojuchang as well as the bulgogi. This was a ton of amazing food for $32pp. A sleeper hut is the fried tteok skewer- so savory!! Kisa hit the spot! read more

I came here for dinner with one of my friends one evening and we had a great meal. The interior of the restaurant is very cozy, warm, and inviting. Service is also really nice and attentive here. I would definitely recommend reservations if you can as it was super busy when I went. Their menu is very simple, consisting of four different options: bulgogi, pork, squid, and bibimbap (veggie), accompanied by a variety of side dishes. My friend and I got their squid and bulgogi, and both were delicious. The portions were great and I loved the variety in their side dishes. Definitely amazing, authentic and comforting food, and I would love to come back. read more

Got here a little before noon in a weekend and was able to get seats before the lunch crowd. My friends and I ordered the bulgogi, spicy pork, and spicy squid. The amount of meat given was good, and the spicy squid was especially good. I also really liked the yellowtail side dish which was in this light mango-ey tropical sauce, it was fantastic. The other sides were also well done and I really liked the wings with potatoes and carrot. I think some lighter veggie sides would have been nice. The inside is clean with a good amount of tables altho then space is a bit small. The tables by the door are not great because of the cold draft coming in everytime it's opened. read more

Great food, great service, great experience! The restaurant is on the smaller side! Parties 4 or smaller can make a resy. If your party is larger than 4, you will need to go and wait in line. On a Sunday for a party of 6, we waited an hour. Everything we ordered was delicious. Each dish comes with your own sides. Gamjatang was so delicious! Can't go wrong with the donkatsu and the bibimbap either. Their menu is small for lunch with only those 3 items for $18-$19. If you come between Tuesday- Friday, they have soondubu on their lunch menu Looking forward to coming back for dinner! read more

Loved the simple menu, ease of ordering, abundant banchan, the red bean drink after dinner and the accommodating and friendly staff. We shared the bulgogi and squid and i preferred the bulgogi. The kimchi, seaweed, braised short rib and surprisingly the raw shrimp were my favorite banchan dishes. Don't forget to grab a warm drink when you enter or leave! They are unique flavors read more

Really great food, really annoying walk-in system. We went for lunch on a Sunday and while there were only a couple of tables-worth of people waiting, it ended up being more than 45 minutes. They won't take names, they just kind of keep it casual so it feels a little haphazard. Not a deal breaker but wish they had a little more organization there. Really enjoyed the main dishes. The pork was delicious and the bulgogi was very good too. Some of the banchan were better than others and the fruit dessert had a hair in it so I skipped it altogether. We were never offered any refills on the banchan, which I admit surprised me. Going for 4 starts because most of the banchan was pretty forgettable and it was pricey for what it was. I don't begrudge them their pricing but it was a lotta hoopla for a serviceable, tasty meal without a ton of bells and whistles. We did enjoy, I'm just not sure we'd go without a reservation again and it's not really the kind of place I'd bring people...it was pretty clear they wanted people in and out. read more

I've had Kisa on my list for a while now. I love the idea of a banchan-forward restaurant! I was able to snag us a Tuesday reservation for 6pm about two weeks in advance. We were seated when we arrived about 15 minutes early. I love the vibes in the restaurant - it really gives off that old timey Korean cab driver restaurant feel. For dinner, they only have four proteins on the menu - bulgogi, spicy pork, spicy squid, and bibimbap. I had picked the spicy pork and my husband picked the bulgogi so we could try both. It came with so many banchans, I loved it. I love banchan. My favorites included this incredible spicy stewed chicken and the yellowtail tartare-like dish. I also loved this soft, silken tofu. Honestly, no notes. All the banchan were great. You also get rice and soup too. Food was so good. Portions were very generous. It is a little pricey, since we paid about $100 for the two of us, but it was worth it. read more

Made a reservation about two weeks ahead for a Thursday night. I wasn't the biggest fan of their other restaurant C as in Charlie, but had heard good things about Kisa and I'm glad I gave it a try because I loved it! My boyfriend ordered the bulgogi, and I got the spicy pork. We added ssam ($3). Both meats were amazing, and I loved the radish soup. Kimchi and chicken banchan were also great. Only thing I didn't care for was the marinated salmon. Would definitely come back! read more

Prompt and fast service. Came during lunch so ordered off their lunch menu which had about 3 options. The food was tasty but nothing spectacular.

I would definitely come back to try their dinner menu. read more

Very cute interior, extremely friendly service. I was able to get a table here by showing up right when they opened at 5, but if you want to come later you might want a reservation. I went with the spicy pork as my entree, which had a pleasant sweetness to it and a great texture. Actually, most of the dishes here had a bit of sweetness to them, which is generally something I dislike about Korean food in my limited experience of it, but here the sweetness was balanced so well by all the other flavors. I ate a raw shrimp for the first time, which had an unfamiliar texture but a delicious marinade. The beef in the curry was beautifully tender and the sauce was rich and complex. I found that there was such an attention to detail in the food here. Not only was the plate bountiful and colorful, each small component was balanced and delicious, even the simple soup. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Kisa - Spicy Pork - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I made a reservation 2 weeks out for dinner (it was the earliest I can get one for prime dinner hour, 7pm). The banchan definitely lived up to the hype! The banchan I got included omelette, stewed meat & potato, rice cakes in perilla oil, tteobokki & sausage, raw shrimp, kimchi, and seaweed. My favorites were the raw, marinated shrimp and omelette. I got the spicy squid and my partner got the spicy pork. I found the spicy pork to be way too smoky. The spicy squid had a milder smoky flavor. They did give us a side of kimchi soup, but I think this meal would've been 5 stars if a soup was a main option over the stir fried proteins. I found myself enjoying and grabbing the banchan before my main entree, the spicy squid. The black bean latte at the end was a nice touch! It was creamy and not too sweet. I think this place is great to try and I would only return if I have a reservation. The 45mins-1hour+ isn't worth it in my opinion. read more

I struggle between 4 and 5 here, but ultimately going with 4 because while the food is definitely good, I'm not sure i will be rushing back. I thought most of the banchan was really good, definitely the highlight. The spicy pork main was good, but not especially memorable. Was not spicy at all and a little one note for me. Vibe is great and everyone is very friendly, though we did feel a bit rushed out. Overall, I think there are better places for Korean in nyc at similar or lower price, but still recommend trying if you have the chance. read more

This place always has a long line since it's difficult to get a reservation if you don't book early. You want to factor in a 30+ min wait if you don't have a reservation. Their menu is pretty simple. The banchans are set but you choose which protein you want. My friend and I both got the spicy squid - it's so good. However, the highlight of this restaurant is not the main protein, but definitely their aesthetically pleasing banchans. You also get complimentary soup as well. I love the different texture and flavor you get from this meal. It's a lot of food so come hungry! read more

Kisa is definitely worth the hype. Reservations are hard to come by but if you can snag a resy, definitely do it! The moment you step into Kisa, it feels like you stepped back in time and sitting in a cozy old school diner. The service is amazing. The waiters were super attentive and constantly filled our water. Now to the food. There are two menus, one for lunch and one for dinner. The lunch menu does not come with as many banchans as the dinner menu, but the food is still amazing. We ordered the gamjatang, bibimbap, chicken donkatsu. All three dishes were delicious! The sauce on the chicken donkatsu was a bit sweet but it really complimented the savoriness of the donkatsu. There's a little coffee machine near the entrance, so after your meal, you can get a free drink! Go for the black bean latte and you can thank me later! Overall Kisa was an amazing experience! It is popular, so expect the noise level to be high. So if you want to have a proper conversation, don't expect much of that. But will definitely come back for good Korean food! read more

Kisa became popular very quick in the city, so wait times can be long. If you're able to get a reservation, better to you. We came on a Saturday at 7pm to put our name on the waitlist. They estimated 2 hours, but it ended up being 1.5hours until we got the text that our table was ready. It was a snowy night, so I appreciate the waiter offering napkins to help us dry ourselves when we sat down. The menu is very simple with only 4 different dishes to choose from: bulgogi, spicy pork, stir-fried squid, and bibimbap. My friend and I each got the bulgogi and spicy pork to share. Each order also comes with 7 banchans; and they're not your basic banchans either! Apparently the banchans change seasonally, but we had the steamed egg, Korean fried chicken, shredded potato, kimchi, spicy squid, raw marinated salmon, and some kind of fishcake. In addition, the meal is paired with a bowl of rice and soup too for a fulfilling meal. Everything I had was delicious and we finished the entire thing, but was quite stuffed. The kimchi has free refills, but all other banchans were an extra $2. In the end, we didn't get the quarter for our drink at the machine though, which I was a bit disappointed about reading from other reviews. Either way, it was a delicious meal and I really loved all the variety you get. Each meal is $32, which is solid for dinner in NYC. read more

Service: 4.3/5 Food: 4.5/5 Price: $$$ ($30-50) Love the simple menu concept, tho theirs might be too limiting. As a person who doesn't eat beef + can't handle spicy, i'm basically out of options for my protein. I think part of their gimmick is that they're constantly changing banchans, so every time you come it'll be different. That also means you'll always be chasing certain banchan dishes you saw online. Large portions, my group had degrees varying from stuffed to pleasantly satisfied. A little noisy inside, which made it hard to hear the staff at times. They were running a promo/collab so we got to try nongshim ramen snack + got a free tote bag at the end of our meal. Note: only kimchi is free refills, might offer free tea up front? What I Ordered: - Spicy Stir-Fried Squid: hard, but not chewy - Kimchi: mild, not too spicy or funky - Potato Jorim: ate by mistake, almost like japanese curry, supposed to contain beef tho I didn't get any of those bits - Raw Marinated Shrimp: refreshing, I liked the pickled onions - Mung Bean Salad: thought it was radish at first, better than others i've tried, still pretty bland - Roasted Seaweed: classic, reminds me of Auntie Omakase from Culinary Class Wars - Sausage + Rice Cake: surprisingly sweet, love the crispy texture - Omelet: classic, good palate cleanser - kimchi jjigae?: a little spicy, oily, honestly so overwhelmed by the food I didn't drink it read more

Kisa - Gamjatang - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Their lunch and dinner food get very different scores, so I'll average the score to 4 stars. Dinner is so good so I will definitely be returning! Their squid entree with banchan is delicious and filling. I loved all the banchan and the squid has a nice spicy kick. One bummer is that they use to give refills on banchan, but they've since stopped that. Really bummed about that. I definitely will return for dinner. Their lunch however leaves much to be desired. It has a limited, focused menu much like their dinner experience and I didn't think the food was memorable. I got their donkatsu which is a great portion, especially for the price, and it was prepared nicely, but I didn't enjoy it. The sauce is needed because the cutlet would be too dry without it. I thought the sauce was too sweet for my liking and overall just not memorable. I did like their potato macaroni side that came with it however. Their service is always good and the ambiance is pleasant. It's always busy and boisterous inside, but you can still hear your own group talking. Don't forget to get a free black bean latte. Overall, I'd return for dinner but not lunch. read more

Came here after learning that Kisa is a sister restaurant to C as in Charlie, which we also visited on the same NYC trip. I actually enjoyed Kisa much more - though it's like comparing apples to oranges since C as in Charlie is more Korean fusion, while Kisa leans more toward authentic, home-cooked style Korean food. Kisa keeps things simple in the best way. You just have to choose 1 of 4 bowls (spicy pork, bulgogi, squid, or bibimbap) and it comes with soup, rice, and nine banchan dishes. Our table enjoyed everything we ate. Service was excellent, and they also have a self-serve coffee machine where you can make a hot drink after dinner. We tried the black bean latte, which was interesting and something we'd never had before! Definitely recommend this place. Make sure to make reservations - they fill up pretty quickly! read more

(Overall: A+) - From the moment I walked in, I already felt transported to a Korean diner with cozy decor and even a drink machine with a very intriguing black bean latte. The staff are extremely fast and attentive, which is impressive given how much there is going on. The menu only has four options, which makes it easy to order, without the neglect for flavor development or diversity of food. I greatly enjoyed this meal more than most of the ones I had in Korea. Highly recommend. (Bulgogi Set: S) - I love this hearty set covers so much of Korean comfort food in a single platter. We start off with a comforting bowl of beef bone soup and the classic banchan such as fish cake and kimchi that have unapologetic but not overwhelming spice. There are also more premium appetizers with korean fried chicken, and soy marinated salmon, both of which were procured so beautifully it tastes much better than some shops that specialize in these actually. For the choice of main, I went for a classic bulgogi that was forwardly seasoned and went well with the rice. For $3, I opted in for the ssam which added some fresh greens to the already fulfilling meal. The fact that each little dish is plated with purpose and quality controlled really displays the care for food this restaurant has which is highly commendable.
