I came here with a college friend on a Tuesday night back in November 2025. We had made reservations online beforehand and were promptly seated once we arrived. Immediately I enjoyed the decor and vibe, though I occasionally questioned why such sad Joji songs played while we were eating. What stood out to as well was the service - my friend has allergies to shellfish and nuts, and when we inquired what menu items contained either, the server immediately whipped out a mini paper menu and marked which ones we're dangerous to eat on the spot which we were both very impressed by. I believe their best dish was the corn dumplings. I feel like I could've eaten 20 of them in one go. I would've traded every other dish for that if I were judging purely based on flavor. However, I really enjoyed the presentation of the other dishes, especially the beef ragu x rice cake. They were all gorgeously created, and I deeply admired the handiwork of the chef. I especially liked my dessert, which was both cute and delicious. Overall, next time I am in NY I want to come back for the corn dumplings and excellent service. read more

I came here for a solo dinner during this year's winter restaurant week. For $45 I got a four course plus an extra $17 for a glass of sake. Ambiance for a weeknight was popping for a small spot. Service was overall quick and accommodating because I arrived late because I got lost. I started the dining experience with the Yellowtail crudo, which was refreshing and paired well with the sake. I followed up with their popular corn dumpling with truffle salsa verde which was to die for, definitely a must order and masks the remnants of the sake after alternating a bite with a sip. For the main course I got the Berkshire rib, which hit the spot and complemented well with the sake. After consuming the rest of the sake, I ended the dining experience with their famous pop rocks with matcha and strawberry dessert. If Mokyo participates in restaurant week, this is worth dining. read more

4.5 stars. My partner and I had an excellent meal during Restaurant Week. I knew this was a tapas-style spot and worried the portions would be too small, but they didn't skimp at all. I actually had to pack some food to go. We split the scallop ceviche, yellowtail crudo, corn dumplings, pulpo a la Mokyo (octopus skewer), Berkshire ribs, fried rice with lobster, and bread pudding. My easy favorites were the yellowtail crudo (I scooped up every last bit of the salsa macha) and, much to my surprise, the corn dumplings. The filling was decadent and savory, a luxuriously fluffy cloud, and though I'm not a truffle fan, it was such a light touch that I smelled more than tasted it. The octopus was tender and nicely charred, with bites of potato, but the flavor wasn't particularly memorable. The scallops were buttery smooth and delicious, milky yet refreshing with tiger's milk and grape slices. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a sweet and savory sauce, though the muhammara dip felt random, almost like an afterthought. The fried rice had more lobster pieces than expected, and although I thought the XO sauce overpowered the flavor of the meat a little, it was still tasty. I'm glad we had the ribs and lobster together so there was starch to balance out all that meat. Unfortunately we could only pick one dessert to split. I wanted to try the pop rocks, but we ended up compromising on other dishes and getting the bread pudding. My partner enjoyed it, but I'm not really a bread pudding fan, so it was unsurprisingly a bit too sweet and heavy for my taste. I did like the contrast of warm and cold with the vanilla bean gelato though. Some dishes were really inventive, and I already know I'll be thinking about the corn dumplings from time to time! read more

Delicious tapas place! Ordered the corn dumplings, the ribs, the lobster roll, and the noodle. My table's favorites were the corn dumplings and the ribs. I would definitely recommend ordering a minimum of 3 plates per person (2 if you're not that hungry). Service was friendly and attentive. The place is a bit small so I wouldn't do super large groups, but overall it's a nice restaurant and I'd come try it again! read more

Mokyo is not your average Korean spot. The food served here is elevated, I was taken away by how complex some of the dishes tasted. Especially the gochujang cauliflower; it felt like the taste kept evolving as you kept chewing. The corn dumplings were fragrant and interesting in both texture and taste. The lobster rolls were delightful albeit pretty small. I would say the yellowtail crudo could be skipped, unlike the other dishes this one was a little boring. Taste overall was fantastic. The sake sampling was also nice but the food portion sizes were really small, so it does come out to be a little pricy. Not an every day meal, but still worth a visit! read more

Mokyo - Sake flight - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Had a fun time at Mokyo with their modern Korean tapas! They recommend about 2-3 dishes per person. -Corn dumpling: my absolutely favorite (and we ended up getting a second order). I love the prominent corn flavors but with a cheesy, gooey filling. I loved how the dumpling skin was intact and chewy. The truffle sauce with some tangy flavors helped cut the richness of the cheese. -Yellowtail crudo: really enjoyed how the black pepper on top and in the sauce complemented the raw fish slices, along with some sliced fruit and peppers. -Noodle: loved the al dente noodles and how most of the flavors were delivered by the chili oil (with minimal chili/sauce etc). The use of cashew over other nuts was quite interesting and I liked it! -Oxtail spring roll: solid filling of tender wagyu oxtail and crunchy on the outside, but nothing to write home about. -Asparagus ceviche: wanted to get some veggies for the table and liked the leche de tigre sauce, as well as the seaweed paper. Could skip next time. Tucked away in the East Village, this place actually is very vertical and has a lot more tables/space in the back and than expected. It was nice, cozy environment - perfect for meet ups and a good dining experience. Staff were attentive. Interested in returning to try the other dishes and their drinks! read more

Winter Restaurant Week Review 5/6- I went to this popular Korean-ish restaurant around a week ago for Winter Restaurant Week. The menu is $45 here for four courses, though the dessert is split between two people, so I guess it's more like three and a half courses. The place was very loud in the front, by the bar, as well as at most tables near it, but we were thankfully seated in the back, which was a little quieter. We were waiting a bit for the last person, so a couple of us ordered drinks. I went with the Tenryo Koshu 'imperial landing' Junmai Daiginjo, which is $17 per glass. As per the name, this isn't just a junmai daiginjo but rather a koshu, or aged sake. This style is uncommon in Japan and quite rare in the US, except for some sake bars. The age of koshus can range from a couple of years, such as this one, aged 3 years, to much older, such as Daruma Masamune, which almost tastes like a blend of cognac or brandy and sake. This was a mildly dry mouth-coating sake with a bit of fruitiness, and was delicious. Another person enjoyed the $14 Lychee Reach Rich with soju, lychee, and mango, a collaboration with Thursday Kitchen, and it had a fun presentation with a light inside. All alcohol aside, the first course was mostly a choice between various crudos. I went with the Scallop Ceviche with tiger's milk and sunchoke. There was a good handful of sweet scallops, and the sunchokes added a bit of crunch. Aside from sweetness, I would not have minded some heat or citrus, but otherwise it was tasty. Another person liked the Yellowtail Crudo with salsa macha & grapefruit, and I might try that next time. For the second course, I went with one of their signatures, the Corn Dumpling with truffle salsa verde. The dumpling had a light skin, and the inside was sweet and salty from some cheese sprinkled on top. The salsa verde was herbal, with a bit of a kick and a mild truffle flavor. This was enjoyable, and I can see why it's popular. Another person liked the Wagyu Oxtail Spring Roll with kohlrabi kimchi. My third course, the Fried Rice X Lobster with XO sauce, was alright. There was a bit of lobster in there, and the dish had some good crispy rice with a bit of scallion on top for freshness. The sauce had a good kick but lacked a lot of umami, so it almost felt more like a chili crisp than an XO sauce. This was decent, but I would get something else next time if I were to go here again. Another person who tends to avoid spicy food enjoyed the Berkshire Rib with soy and muhammara. For dessert, we chose the Injeolmi Mousse with cocoa leaf and hazelnut. The mousse itself was soft, with a nice roasted soybean flavor, and the hazelnut added some crunch. While not the biggest dessert to split, it was still tasty, and I would recommend it. Some others liked the Bread Pudding with bourbon sauce and Valrhona Jivara vanilla bean gelato. This wasn't the most filling restaurant week meal, but we had a good time, though I probably would have disliked my experience much more if we had sat in front, as it was way too loud. Not everything worked, but it was worth it for $45. Mid 3 rounded up (would have been rounded down if we were in front.) read more

I've been waiting a while to come here, so when a last minute reservation popped up on a friday night, I snatched it right up. There's a lot of parallels between mokyo and its sister restaurant thursday kitchen from the vibe inside, the fusion elements of the menu and the pouch-style cocktails. everything is small plate to share, 2-3 items is a sweet spot per person. server was kind, almost a little shy, but he didn't rush us at all despite being there near closing time. the corn dumplings were my favorite bite of the night, really reminiscent of the edamame dumplings at thursday kitchen. the dumpling didn't have whole kernels of corn, instead it was a flavorful pureed filling with notes of parmesan that sat on top of a warm sauce. I enjoyed the crudo, saw the attempt of latin-asian fusion with the chipotle, but I did find myself craving a lighter ponzu or soy based-sauce instead. the scallops were another favorite bite, almost didn't order as I wasn't familiar with the listed ingredients but turns out vichyssoise is essentially upscale mashed potatoes, and they immersed the scallops with so much flavor. lastly, I've heard a lot hype about the lobster roll from a friend, but think it was my least favorite of the dishes I tried. It was fine, an interesting mix of cheese and lobster that didn't enthrall me. great bites with lots of interesting and creative flavor combinations. i'd come back to experience other items, but not compelled to repeat a majority of the dishes I tried. st. marks place is also packed with bars, so plenty of spots to continue the night after dinner! read more

Came here on a rainy Saturday night, and it was definitely a cozy spot to be with friends. Since the menu is tapas style, the five of us were able to try almost everything, which was a fun experience. That said, none of the dishes really stood out. Most were tasty, but not elevated enough to make me want to come back for them again. The highlights were the gumbo and the wagyu spring roll, which was surprisingly good. Everything else was solid but not outstanding, and the fried rice was overly salty--maybe we caught them on an off day. Overall, for the price point, I did expect a little bit more so this feels like a try-it-once kind of restaurant. read more

Korean restueautn that has a rotating seasonal tapa menu. It was pretty crowded and made a reservation. The food was great. We got the Berkshire rib, pop rocks , and gumbo.

It was dimly lit space with great service. read more

Mokyo - Berkshire rib - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I've had korean tapas in several places, but this might be one of my favorites! The fusion here is more apparent in the dishes, and the environment is very chill. Here's what we ordered: - Oxtail spring roll - Sweet plantain - Tuna tataki (substituted for yellowish crudo) - Corn dumplings - Berkshire ribs - Noodle- basil, mala chili oil, and cashew The noodles and ribs were my favorite dishes. While the noodle dish is simple, they were cooked al dente and the sauce was loaded with flavor. This dish probably surprised me the most. The ribs were also really delicious and so tender! They have really unique dishes and definitely worth coming at least once even if it is a little more on the pricey side. Food also came out super quickly! read more

I found this place because I am going through a corn phase and wanted to try their corn dumplings. We has a reservation for two around 8:30 PM on Thursday. We were seated immediately after walking in and ordered. The vibes are underground, dimly lit. Everyone is dressed nicely. One note, the music is extremely loud, so you have to scream to speak to each other. Their menu is very small and curated. There are decent vegetarian options which they separate to the top of their menu. We ordered a couple of items: corn dumplings, cauliflower, scallop, noodle, and Injoelmi Mousse. Corn dumplings ($15) - These were delicious. The truffle flavor was so amazing and the sweet creamy corn on the inside paired perfectly. I would come back here just for this. This is a must try! Cauliflower ($17) - I would not recommend this dish. It just tastes like a sweeter and less crispy gobi manchurian (Indian cauliflower appetizer). The rasins also did not pair well with this, but the little dots of labneh were good. Scallops ($19) - This is also a must try. If you like seafood, then you will love this dish. The scallops are swimming in this creamy potato puree with so much flavor. Noodles ($17) - The noodles were a filler dish. Tasted like plain noodles. Not as bad as the cauliflower, but not great. If you are hungry, then order this to fill you up. Injoelmi Mousse ($13) - The description of this does not do it justice. This was actually so delicious with a chocolatly/hazelnut crumble and crunchy inside. I really enjoyed this dessert. I will be coming back whenever i'm in ny to get some corn dumplings!! read more

The corn dumplings are pillowy and heavenly, we ordered a second serving as they only come with 4 pieces. Changed my perspective on what a dumpling should taste like! So creamy and dreamy yet dumpling like at the same time. We also ordered the lobster rolls which were pretty good and buttery. We ordered the noodles which are a must perfect spice level and chewiness. I enjoyed the oxtail spring rolls they had a great crunch and unique flavor to them and were super filling. Also got the sticky ribs which I thought were decent but not my favorite. Loved the little bites at mokyo they are such a fun variation on traditional asian food and creative! Would definitely return. read more

Tried Mokyo after passing by for so long and intrigued by the fusion Korean tapas style. If I didn't know beforehand I would have guessed this was an American restaurant though. Reservations aren't difficult but do get booked so should plan ahead. They don't necessarily rush diners but seem to try and fit as many as possible in a night so they move things along. The restaurant is quite cozy but the tables are pretty close together and there's some bumping; I think bar seating was actually better at least for 1-2 people. Went with the tartare, cauliflower and scallop - the tartare was solid with decent taste from lovage and yuzu and I enjoyed the chips balancing out texture. The cauliflower tasted more like American BBQ sauce than gochujang for me, wasn't bad but just not the food I was expecting. It was crunchy and solid also. Finally the scallop I found dry though it was basked in sauce that was quite creamy but I didn't find it with much flavor and was fairly bland. Drink menu has numerous options, i got a carafe of sake but what I actually got seemed about 1.5x the size of typical carafes. Overall not a bad but not an amazing place. I imagine it's likely consistent and safe, not too pricey in my opinion for the food, but not as Korean fusion as I'd expect. read more

Food was great. My favorite was the noodles, cauliflower, and corn dumplings. But the rice cake with beef (usually lamb but changed for today) and fried rice were good too. The oxtail spring roll was good, but a little bland in my opinion. Note the soju was described as "pear and ginger" flavor, but we couldn't taste it all haha. Wish we'd gotten a cocktail or something. But the service was very good, and it's especially nice when the weather is nice and they open all the windows. read more

My friend and I dropped by for an early dinner on Saturday. The vibes were nice and cozy albeit tables are a bit small and positioned quite close to each other, which sometimes felt precarious to walk in between. So volume level was also a little on the louder side to catch up with friends, but not impossible. We ordered primarily dishes that our waiter recommended to us, including corn dumplings, cauliflower, lobster roll, wagyu oxtail spring rolls, and the berkshire rib. Wagyu oxtail spring rolls - We first got the spring rolls which were crisped to perfection. The oxtail inside was surprisingly like pulled/stringy (like think texture of pulled pork but more tender) with some barbecue-esque sauce inside. I enjoyed how crispy the wrap was, but was a little thrown off by the filling and wished it had other ingredients in it other than just the oxtail and the singular flavor of the sauce. Lobster roll - This was two nigiri-like pieces of lobster over two rolls of bread. I did really like the bread but found the lobster to be lacking in flavor - either that or the sauce was just overpowering of any other flavors. Corn dumplings - These weren't bad but just not my cup of tea. They reminded me more of like an italian dumpling (maybe like agnolotti or something of the like) where the filling is more mushy/creamy as opposed to Asian dumplings which are more structured/textured, so this is just against my personal preference. My friend enjoyed these a lot but if you're also more averse to similar textures I'd probably opt for something else. Cauliflower - The cauliflower is glazed in this gochujang sauce, so quite sweet and somewhat crisp. If you didn't tell me this was cauliflower, I don't think I'd be able to tell. These were somewhat addicting to eat, but my friend and I agreed that it was kinda like a fancy vegetarian version of orange chicken - nothing mind blowing or worth $17 for. Berkshire rib - I think these were probably the best bang for our buck at $18 and a reasonable portion size for a "small plate." For the most part, the meat was pretty tender and fall off the bone but a little dry in certain parts. Overall, the food seems to be very centered around sauce with essentially every dish we ordered being slathered in sauce one way or another. Sometimes this worked well, but other times, it overpowered all other flavors. I, personally, prefer when the natural tastes of ingredients are more preserved or wish that at least there was more of a balance in sauces. Additionally, many dishes seemed to share a common ingredient (perhaps in the sauce?), making some of the dishes start to taste similar. I don't think the food was BAD but it's just not food that I'd crave or want to have again. It was more of a fun dining experience rather than a place I'd consider a go-to. read more

Decided to try out this new spot for dinner. Its on a nice street near st marks. It happened that the street was closed to vehicles (not sure if thats a regular summer thing), so it was nice to walk around. This particular street is packed with quite a few restaurants so you have lots of choices. The space is cozy and the servers were nice and explained some items in the menu. Some of the dishes were a miss. Plantain appetizer was plain and not much flavor, similar with cauliflower dish. The yellowtail crudo was ok, but the portion was tiny. The highlight dish was the fried crab rice, good portion and tasty. Short ribs were very flavorful as well. Overall it was a mixed bag of good dishes with some underwhelming ones. At this price point, i think the menu would have to change significantly for me to pick this place over all the other options to explore in the area. Plantain appz - plain Cauliflower - ok Short ribs - very good Yellowtail crudo - ok, super small serving Friend rice with crab - very good read more

Very cute restaurant that is intimate inside. Recommend as RSVPs are a bit hard to come by. All the items are made for sharing and kind of smaller plates. The drinks also come in little bags if you get the capri options which were a cute addition. Food overall was quite good, with my favorite bring the gumbo. The rice with octopus was quite spicy...corn dumpling was my least favorite due to flavor profile. read more

Mokyo - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I actually came to Mokyo on the whim because the restaurant we originally wanted to go to was closed. But this was actually a blessing in disguise because we got the try this new Korean Tapas restaurant. We came when it opened on Saturday and had no issues being seated at the bar. Due to the small menu we got to try a variety of options: Corn Dumplings ($15) - Normally if I saw this on the menu I wouldn't have considered it, but due to other reviews recommending it, I ordered it. This ended up being one of my favorite dishes! I've never had a dumpling with such a soft, creamy filling. The wrapper was al dente, which created a good contrast in texture. And with the addition of the truffle salsa verde it just brightened the whole dish. Tartare ($16) - This was decent and fresh. It included lovage, yuzu, and crisps on top, but I did not really taste the citrus. Flavor reminded me of guacamole. Yellowtail Crudo ($17) - This was topped with salsa macha, which complemented the fresh raw fish very well. Would recommend. Scallop ($19) - I love scallop, but this dish has a little too much going on. Included vichyssoise and gim oil. The mushrooms were too salty for me and I don't think the creamy soup was a good combination. I think the gim oil added a good flavor to the scallop though. Gumbo ($15) - This was also another surprisingly delightful dish. I'm used to gumbo being thick and including a lot of rice, but this was light, had a good spice, and filled with andouille sausage and crawfish. Staff were attentive and nice. There is one bathroom stall each for men and women. read more

One of my favorite spots in the city! The concept is a Korean fusion restaurant serving tapas style dishes.

So delicious and creamy, would definitely order all of it again. The servers were very friendly and attentive, able to answer any questions we had and made some good recommendations. The restaurant itself has a very calm vibe and it smelled like delicious food when we walked in. I would give 5 more stars if I could! read more

The ragout was amazing but did not work with this menu. It was super weird. Oxtail spring rolls. We get these every time and remember we shouldn't. Tartare. Meh. So many place do amazing tartare.

Great spot for an elevated meal or date night! The interior is quite intimate and cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. They have a creative menu of Korean tapas with a lot of interesting creative takes. The presentation of each dish is beautiful and carefully crafted, but be warned that the portion sizes are quite small so you may need to order more than you planned! We tried the cauliflower (highly recommend), plantains, ribs (our favorite), the noodle (also yum), and the mousse for dessert. Loved every dish, but again, small portions so you gotta savor each bite! I liked how they brought out each dish one after the other like a coursed meal, which helped to savor each dish and give it your full attention. read more

Mokyo was a lovely experience! We arrived at were unfortunately sat right next to the bathroom, but next to a beautiful little nook as seen in the photo! Alright, now what we're here for-- the food. The dishes are TINY. Definitely tapas style and we were both starving so we opted for 6 plates, but we could've definitely gotten 7 or 8. I loved the size of these dishes so we could order a lot but the prices were quite hefty as each dish was $15-$20 range so it adds up. Also, note the place doesn't sell liquor so only wine, sake, and sake-related cocktails. Ok, the food was all incredible! Plantains came with pistachio crumbs to dip them in and were cooked beautifully. The duck fried rice was super smoky if you're into that you'll love this dish. The lobster rolls substituted truffle sauce for slaw and it worked quite well and will be one large bite. The STARS are definitely the oxtail spring rolls with another truffle dipping sauce and the CORN DUMPLINGS OMG. They were so sweeeeeet and cooked perfectly as well. Never had corn dumplings before but would LOVE to eat 10 of these some time again shortly. They bring the dishes out one at a time so you're not overwhelmed and the timing was perfect. The staff were also super friendly! If the menu seems a bit overwhelming feel free to ask for help and they'll guide you in the right direction. Super great dinner spot! Definitely try it out and you won't be disappointed. Just expect to pay a good bit given dish sizing. read more

This was a cool spot for creative fusion food. I tried four of the vegetarian dishes. Asparagus ceviche - creamy and tart sauce, and perfectly cooked asparagus. The cracker on top added a nice crispy element. Corn dumplings - I'm not usually a huge fan of truffles, but these dumplings were an exception. The truffle flavor wasn't overpowering, and the corn's sweetness balanced it out well. The light broth at the bottom was also nice. Definitely my favorite dish. Plantains - just okay. The two skewers were grilled simply and served with a bit of sauce on the side. In comparison to the other dishes, this was probably the most standard. Cauliflower - the crispy exterior plus the sweet and spicy sauce reminded me a lot of gobi manchurian. The labneh and herbs over top provide balance. The meal was certainly expensive, reaching about $80 with tax and tip. The creative dishes here are definitely worth a try. read more

"Inventive and reasonably priced Asian fusion" I really enjoy their sister restaurant, Thursday Kitchen which has been a long time favorites of mine and a seminal restaurant in the East Village. And for that matter, renowned amongst many foodies in NYC and recognized by Eater. So it's been on my list for awhile. It did not disappoint. What's to cheer - Great assortment of small dishes - Good portions sizes...equivalent to "medio" - Strong list of sake - Oxtail spring rolls and Gumbo were standouts!. The steak and corn dumplings were ok but I don't know if I'd order them again. What's to jeer - Sake prices are a little expensive - Limited drinks if you don't like beer or Sochu - Dessert options were weak read more

Came here with a reservation for my birthday dinner and absolutely loved it. The interior is intimate and cozy with mood lighting. We ordered half of the menu, some of which is pictured here, but my favorites were the yellowtail crudo and lobster roll. We loved the lobster roll so much that instead of dessert we ordered another two rolls! Only thing I would skip is the steak, it was fine but there are so many other exciting dishes here it just didn't stand out. Service was fantastic, the waiter explained all of our dishes and gave recommendations. Prices are a bit on the higher end considering you need to order a few dishes per person so this is more of a special occasion spot for me but it is definitely worth the price and I will be back! read more

Two words: corn dumplings. To begin, I'm not sure if it's a permanent thing but the street is blocked off to pedestrians only. Not that we sat outside, but good to know it was an option. We sat at the bar and decided on the plantain app however the server let us know it's cooked in the same oil as meat dishes so we switched to the heirloom tomato app instead. Speaking of, it was just that- while I appreciate a good tomato, it's a hefty price tag for sometime I could make with my home grown veggies. But the corn dumplings were out of this world. So good in fact, we ordered it twice! The filling, the shaved fennel and that sauce! You just have to try it. read more

Superb flavors and exquisite menu optionality. You will not be disappointed with any item you order, especially when you're sipping on an adult Capri Sun drink. Korean-style mini plates, recommended 2-3 per person but if you have an appetite I would recommend 3-4 to fill yourself up. My only reservation is that the portion sizes are very small, with some plates consisting of 2 bites while others contain a decent serving size. The braised ribs were a hit, and I would highly recommend. Your $/calorie eaten will be high at this restaurant but its flavors and authentic ambiance make it worth the trip! read more

Typically when I go to these more expensive restaurants, I do a lot of research. But then for some reason this placed appealed to us enough on Google Maps to want to go and I'm so glad we did because it's now one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. We made a reservation beforehand on a weekday night and I think that is a bit of a must as there was quite a bit of people inside. We ordered 6 dishes for 2 people and it turned out to be a lot of food. I feel like 5 dishes could've been enough. I have noted them down based on my favorite (corn dumpling) to my least favorite (steak). - Corn Dumpling - Suprisingly this was my favorite thing of the night. I didn't really care for the sauce or the breading of the dumpling as I thought it was too thick, but the filling was to die for. It was a bit sweet with a lot of corn flavor. It really was just something I've never had before which is quite rare. I would eat the filling inside straight up. - Gumbo - I feel like this is a really weird thing to like but I actually loved their gumbo. The flavor profile was almost a combination of tomato soup, which I loved. On top of that, there were so many ingredients inside, especially crawfish. For a high-end restaurant, I was really happy that there was a dish that would both fill me up and also taste great. - Noodle - I don't know what they did to this noodle. In fact, these noodles don't even have any sort of protein inside it but I absolutely loved that they were super garlic-y but also had a kick of spice. - Berkshire Rib - This was my boyfriend's favorite dish of the night! The first bite was marvelous as not only were the ribs incredibly tender but the smoky flavor was present throughout the entire rib. I feel like a lot of BBQ restaurants claim that the flavor is in their meats but this one was probably the most I ever resonated with that statement. After a while of eating this, I felt that the rib was a bit much and wish there was some sort of pickle or whatnot to cut through the meaty-ness. - Lobster Roll - I actually really liked the bread of this dish, but I still like the more traditional lobster rolls more. I did enjoy the pickled celery a lot though! Steak - I thought this was actually one of the weaker dishes of the night. The steak's raw parts were a bit tough, and the mushroom sauce cracked a little, which was interesting. Overall, fantastic eat and I will be back to try more of their foods. Also, I really am excited now to try their sister restaurant, Thursday Kitchen, to see what is the difference. read more

it's been over a year since we visited but had to drop in and write a review because i still think about the corn dumplings! honestly, everything that we tried that night was absolutely delicious. portions are small (tapas style) so you may have to order multiples of one dish if you have a large group. however, it did allow us to try quite a few items. not including the alcohol, the below (for a group of six) averaged out to be about $55 a person. corn dumplings ($15) - the crowd favorite. we ended up getting four orders of this alone. adult-capri [lychee reach rich] ($14) - had to try this for the gram wagyu oxtail spring roll ($21) tartare ($16) yellowtail crudo ($17) noodle ($17) gumbo ($15) cauliflower ($17) rice with octopus ($19) scallop ($19) steak ($19) read more

Needed a downtown dinner spot so we picked Mokyo. First thing first, the multiple texts and warnings on time limits was pretty uncalled for. That was a tad miffing but let's move on to the food stuffs. Drinks- pure strawberry, it comes in a gimmicky baggie and was meh at best. Soju Negroni was a bit better and was at least served in a glass. Food - wagu beef spring rolls, a tad on the oily side, a bit spicy but tasty. Corn dumplings, my favorite of the meal, so creamy and silky with a wonderful sauce that reminded us of kimchi and i just ordered another one just because!. Beef tar tar, I liked it but hubby was meh on it. Very fresh and had a tang but very tiny bit of chips to go with it. Its's potato chips people, not gold. Yelowtail crudo, why was this sent out 4th out of these dishes. It was ok but I did get some tough spots. And lastly was the cauliflower which was spicier than I expected and had more bitter notes than I liked. Doesn't mean it wasn't good but it was more the hubby's taste than mine. It was missing a bowl of rice to be honest. Oh, should I mention that there is a single ladies and men's room and the vague smell of bathroom hovers near it? Make sure you're not seated there. Anyway, ok meal, but I won't trip over my feet returning. read more
