Elegant, delicious food at an affordable price! I came here with a friend for dinner on a Friday evening -- we had no trouble making a reservation the week before -- and had a fabulous time trying the summer menu. The interior of the restaurant is elevated and upscale without feeling stuffy. The service was warm and attentive. But most of all, the food was incredible. For $52 each (about $68 after tax and tip), we had a four course pre-fixe menu that looked and tasted a lot more expensive than it had any right to. Every course was thoughtfully presented, fresh, creative, and perfectly cooked. Highlights were the lamb and the chilled beef broth over rice and spring vegetables. I came hungry and left very full. My only regret is that I didn't have room for dessert! Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for upscale, delicious dining that won't break the bank. I can't wait to be back! read more

The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They were not only attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, but also warm, funny, and genuinely made the experience enjoyable. The food was delicious, every single dish felt thoughtfully crafted, with intentional flavors that really stood out. We loved everything we tried. It's a fixed-price menu, but surprisingly affordable, which is refreshing to find in NYC. You also get to choose some of the plates. The drinks are also amazing so do try some of the recommended cocktails. The only thing I'd mention is that the portions are on the smaller side. That may have been because we chose some of the lighter dishes, but if you have a big appetite or arrive very hungry, you might still have room for more afterward. Overall, I absolutely loved this place and would definitely come back! read more

Odre has an amazing 4-course pre-fixe menu for $52 per person. It's incredibly intricate, and the menu changes seasonally. I tried the spring menu and really liked the mackerel, spring noodle, and kimchi pancake. The two mocktails I tried, spring bloom and omija sunset, were both very good as well. Tip: order the strawberry cheesecake! It's absolutely delicious, with a yakgwa crumble on top and a makgeolli ice cream on the side. The staff were so friendly and attentive, explaining each dish to us in detail. I loved the interior - elegant and modern, with lots of sunlight. read more

Great and relatively affordable Korean prix fixe meal in the city - and not too difficult to get a last min res! I loved having the 4 course structure with multiple options to choose from. We did a few add-ons like the uni/roe dip and chips which was delicious as well. read more

I've had Odre on my list for a long, long time. When we wanted to find a semi-affordable (what I mean is, we're not shelling out $200 per person) spot for our anniversary dinner, I thought it would be a good time. Well, we somehow picked one of the coldest days of the month, but we still made it out. We opted to do the $42 prix fixe menu, which honestly feels like a great deal. For the prix fixe, you get 3 courses with options (about 3 each) and a seasonal bibimbap. Dessert is extra on top of that. For our first course, we both had the Jokpyun - Korean Beef Terrine, Mango Mustard Sauce, Buckwheat. This was very good and we loved the "chips" that came with it. For our second course, my husband had the Kimchi Pie - Smoked Pork Belly, Brussels Sprout and I had the Dried Pollock Guksoo - House-Made Noodle, Seaweed. I think, in terms of size, the Kimchi Pie is the bigger portion and I think I liked it more. The guksoo was a bit of a smaller portion and just felt blander in comparison. For our last course, we did the Tteok Galbi - Prime Beef Short Rib, Ma Gui, which had a $8 surcharge. This was really good. The beef was super tender and I am a big sucker for any kind of meat patty. The seasonal bibimbap was Oyster Gang-Doenjang Bibimbap with Soup of the Day. I loved this! It was so warm and comforting. Really hit the spot on such a cold day. For dessert, we had a Sweet Potato Cheesecake, which was really interesting and quite yummy. It wasn't too sweet, which, as you may know, is the highest praise you can get from an Asian person about dessert! Service was really friendly, very attentive. read more

Early dinner with a good friend checking out this prix fixe menu. The menu looks small, but by the end of the meal you wont be able to fit any more food. The menu changes seasonally, so theres always new to try. Service was attentive and quick. The space itself is nice and clean, but nothing memorable. A few of highlights were the scallops, beef short ribs and branzino dishes. For the price I think it was good value, but not necessarily a menu I would seek out. read more

From the team behind Ari Ari and Her Name is Han, Odre offers an affordable 4 course prix-fixe menu at $42. I had a good time with their comforting dishes! Started off with their citrus red shrimp naengchae which featured fresh and sweet shrimp with a mix of pomelo, grapefruit and orange. Enjoyed the sweet and savory combo of flavors! The jokpyun was their beef terrine that paired nicely with their buckwheat chips. We added on their hwe muchim which had a mix of uni, scallops, and tuna in a spicy, soy-sauce based sauce with finely diced olives and bright citrus flavors. It came with crunchy seaweed and the ingredients were all really fresh. For the second course, the dried pollock guksoo was ~delicious~! It reminded me of the Cantonese shrimp roe noodles but with an even more pronounced fishy and umami flavors. The noodles were chewy yet firm in texture and the sauce added more umami flavors! I loved how the abalone mandoo included a generous amount of fresh crab. The abalone was tender and the creamy sauce with caviar tied it together nicely. Be sure to enjoy it when its hot and warm! For the third course, the cod jjim was tender and well-seasoned, although similar to other ones I've had in New York. The tteok galbi were presented in the form of patties. They were tender and juicy; paired well with the leeks and veggies. To end it off, the oyster gang-doenjang bibimbap provided a nice spicy kick and a balanced bite of oyster, veggies, and sauce. I didn't find this as impressive as the courses before and I wish the rice was more firm. The seaweed (almost like sea moss) soup was a tad too salty but I liked the flavors. For dessert, the sweet potato cheesecake was very creamy with a mild potato flavor and potato chunks embedded inside. The crust was tasty by itself but it was hard to cut through and separated from the cheesecake immediately. The makgeolli ice cream indeed had a fragrant rice wine flavor in each bite. Staff were polite. We had to wait for our table despite arriving on time. While we awkwardly waited by the bar, we were not offered water, drinks, nor menus. Although branded as "affordable," the portion sizes were quite small and my partner was still hungry (when other tasting menus typically fill him up). Besides the pollock noodle, I'm not sure if anything else blew my mind. I am curious to check out their other seasonal menus nevertheless! read more

Had this spot recommended to us so gave it a shot. We had a reservation right at opening for dinner on a weekend. We were seated right away and the folks for our tables were all friendly and bright. The food was overall good. Interesting combinations which were nice to try. I will say sometimes the wine pours can be quite quite light at times. The ambiance was nice - dimly lit intimate spot that's good for a date or a night out. But definitely when you factor in the price, the value is pretty good. read more

Dropped by for dinner at the recommendation of a friend. We both got the prix-fixe menu, which has been updated for fall. We got everything to share so we could each try more dishes. For the first course we got the caesar salad and beef shank naengchae both of which were good, but I thought the caesar salad tasted like your typical chicken salad - not particularly interesting. For the second course we got the perilla sujebi and the jeju bingtteok. It was the first time I had bingtteok (it ended up being sliced buckwheat crepes filled with veggies and beef). I liked the perilla sujebi more - good flavor, slight crunch from the perilla seeds and chew from the noodle and the mushrooms added a lot of earthy flavor. The bingtteok I thought was just ok - a little on the bland side. We got the branzino jjim and duck gui for the third course - both were well cooked and I liked the butter sauce used for the branzino. Finally the last course was the spicy red shrimp jang bibimbap with a cup of clam soup. I'm usually not a huge fan of clams but I enjoyed the soup, and the bibimbap was good as well. I was worried we were still going to be hungry at the end since we didn't order any add-ons but I felt surprising just the right amount of full at the end (but some people might not feel satisfied with the amount of food). Overall it was a fun experience with solid execution at a reasonable price for what you get! read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants in NYC. Everything from the food to service to ambience was perfect. Ambience: we sat at the bar and were so happy with that decision bc we could see the chef and bar tender make everything in front of us. The restaurant is spacious but fills up fast! Food: we got the pre-fixe menu and it was amazing! Honestly, I loved everything. All the dishes were so perfectly curated and so delicious. Service: I loved our waitress who was also the bar tender. She provided recommendations, was so kind and fun. She made this experience even better read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday with my friend and absolutely loved the experience - one of my favorite meals in a while! It's a set prixe fixe menu for $42, where you choose one dish from each section. We loved everything we had, especially the galbi, ricotta gochujang jeon, and beef shank with apple and dates. The takju makgeolli from hana makgeolli paired nicely with our meal. Our waitress also gave us a fun grape appetizer and some wine on the house which she drank with us! The space itself is also modern and cozy, and perfect for an intimate dinner. Absolutely loved my experience here and will definitely be back! read more

Odre is a newish Korean tasting menu spot from the same folks as Her Name is Han and AriAri, and starts at the affordable $42/pp for 4 courses. Made a reservation for a weeknight dinner, but I saw some walk-ins that had no problem. We came during their version of happy hour, so I tried the Pear Breeze which was super strong and not my style, but worth a try at $13. My friend got the Rice Lager which was also fine. For our dinner we tried the Scallops, Lamb Jeon, Snow Crab Mandoo, Duck, and Galbi. They start you with an Amuse Bouche which was a tiny black sesame tart that was fine, very strong black sesame flavors. Scallops were delish- my favorite bite of the dinner. A bit overpowered but the tomato vinegary sauce, but still delicious. Lamb Jeon was crispy and had a good amount of spiced lamb, very unique. Snow crab mandoo was a bit of a letdown, squash blossom didn't add anything. Duck was tender and fatty- my second favorite dish. Galbi was fine, tasty, some bites were tender while others were a tad tough. Finally they bring out the bapsang, which was a tasty anchovy broth served alongside rice with banchan. I mixed mine all together and honestly it was a great end to the meal. I loved the crispy anchovy in particular. Overall a tasty meal, would probably come back when the menu changes to try some other dishes! Service was pretty good too and the space itself was very minimalistic/industrial modern which was nice. read more

$42 prie fix menu- simple & elegant fusion-Korean. Love the decor with sotbap and overall, you can have "fine dining experience" with reasonable price. I think they change menu seasonally and I look forward to trying their fall/winter menu as well. Highly recommend if you want to have Korean fine dining experience at reasonable price, i would say the vibe is very similar to atoboy! read more

I've wanted to try Odre for a while - I'm a big fan of other restaurants from Hand Hospitality Group (e.g., Ariari, Her Name is Han, Atoboy). It's a 4-course prix-fixe meal for $42. It's nice to be able to have a prix-fixe experience at a more affordable price point, but the portion sizes were pretty small and we would've been hungry if we didn't add anything on. We added on another course and dessert so we still spent around $80 per person after tip and tax. I was full after but my friend was still hungry. The meal comes with a free amuse bouche. For the first course, we got the scallop tomato naengchae and kong guk-soo. For the second course, we got the snow crab mandoo and sesame leaf jeon. For the third course, we got the duck gui and the branzino. The fourth course is a seasonal bansang which was bibimbap and soup. We added on the jeyuk and then got watermelon bingsu for dessert. The presentation was nice, but flavor wise I thought everything was just ok and I feel like the execution wasn't always 100% there. For example, the snow crab mandoo sounded interesting and looked pretty, but the squash blossom is just placed on top and there's no other wrapper so it's just loose crab underneath. The 3rd course was probably my favorite flavor wise but like I mentioned earlier the portion wise is pretty small, especially for what's supposed to be considered the main course. Overall, I think the service was good, but the food was just ok and the serving size was small. I'd probably choose one of their other restaurants to go to in the future instead! read more

This modern Korean spot has an affordable prefix menu. It's 4 courses for $42 with options of supplement for an additional cost. It's a good amount of food without the supplements which is nice. The restaurant is sleek and minimalist and the staff were friendly and explained the menu to us. For each course, each person gets to choose their own dish. We picked different ones so we could share and try all the options. The highlights were the scallop tomato naengchae, sesame leaf jeon, and the branzino jjim. Afterwards they served us a bibimbap and a delicious savory soup with cabbage. Everything was beautifully plated. Definitely would have gotten the supplements if I was hungrier. Overall it was a great meal! read more

A great prix fixe meal for $42! Some items are additional costs though and you can add on additional dishes. The dishes come out fairly quick and the service is great. There is a small bite to start which was potato salad. For the first course, both the hwe (+$4) and the chicken salad were refreshing and light starters. Personally I wouldn't do the hwe next time as it wasn't anything special, just normal raw seafood although it was fresh. For the second course, both the snow crab mandoo (+$4) and the lamb jeon were delicious. The snow crab mandoo is so sweet and stuffed with so much crab meat. This is worth the additional cost! The lamb jeon was crispy and slightly spicy. The main course, we chose beef shank and duck. The beef shank is so tender, while the duck is perfectly cooked. I think the beef shank tasted better. The kimbap was delicious with the bouncy egg. All the banchans were tasty and the soup was full of umami. The strawberry bingsoo is an add-on dish that I recommend! It's the perfect way to end the meal! read more

I tried ODRE's Summer 2025 menu, so this review and the pictures are a bit delayed. I loved the interior of the restaurant and thought the service was friendly as well! I realllllyy enjoyed my cocktail. If my memory (and context clues based on the color) serves me correctly, I believe it was a melon drink. It was light and sweet! I really enjoyed most of the courses as well, especially the Scallops that we had to start and the Snow Crab Mandoo. The ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the flavors worked really well together too. The duck and gable were both delicious as well. We tried to pick a favorite, but honestly couldn't because they were both super solid. I was most excited about the Bibimbap because of the unique toppings but was honestly a bit disappointed. There was nice variety in terms of textures and flavors but some of them were misses for me. The soup served on the side was also an acquired taste. It was a bit bitter, which was unexpected. We had the Watermelon Bingsoo for dessert. It was a refreshing way to end the meal, but I think the taste was a bit too light for me and would've appreciated stronger flavors. ODRE is definitely a spot to try, especially since the prix-fixe menu is only $42 and you get to try an array of different dishes! read more

4.5 and rounded up. I came not knowing what to expect and left impressed! Saturday evening I came with reservations for two, having seen the spot pop up on Yelp as a local suggestion. Seemed pretty new with only 36 reviews though overall favorable (even more so on g-maps). On their IG they noted they were chosen as 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand pick so that was intriguing* The space: simple, clean mid-century modern decor. Medium-toned wood, cream walls, clean lines and curves accented with black canister lighting inset into the ceiling. Bar directly to the right when you walk in, seating for about 40. The staff: in one word, wonderful. In a few more words--friendly, helpful, informative and attentive. A few people came by to take orders, ask about our meal, explain the dishes. I also heard a staff member explaining in detail to the table next to us some of the restaurant's wine offerings. The meal: fabulous. They do a $42 prix fixe using seasonal ingredients and it's well worth it! - Kong Guk-soo: the corn, shrimp and potato brought together familiar flavors, the creamy soy pine nut broth/sauce kicked it up a notch. I kinda wanted to drink it all. - Scallop Tomato Naengchae: fresh scallop carpaccio, so tender! The vinegary tomato sauce it was served in was also delicious. I might've eaten a few spoonfuls of just the sauce. - Sesame Leaf Jeon: good crisp on the pancake with ground lamb, perilla leaves added a pleasant herbal note, and the mint sauce complemented it nicely. On the salty side. - Snow Crab Mandoo +$4: they really stuff the squash blossoms with crab. My dinner mate commented that the salad might've been better chilled, I thought it was good room temp, though the squash blossoms for me didn't really do much outside providing an encapsulation. -Yukgaejang Noodle +$15: good flavor, nice crunch from the vegetable, a bit of numbing spice, a little too much oil. - Branzino Jjim: fish was cooked perfectly, felt a bit heavy-handed on the salt for the fish itself. The butter sauce was divine. - Duck Gui: duck was cooked a textbook medium, terrific flavors and the two perilla and modified hoisin sauces were an elegant counterpoint to the duck breast. - Seasonal Bansang: a tasty petite serving of bibimbap served with a side of (red?) miso soup. -Watermelon Bingsoo $15: they froze watermelon juice then shaved it and added fresh fruits on top, very refreshing and tastes just like frozen watermelon on a hot summer day. A daintier portion which some may find a bit underwhelming though flavor-wise a terrific end to our meal. - Gangjang Negroni $15: a slightly savory take on a classic, the soy sauce added a bit of oomph to the drink, I'm a fan. Total with add-ons came to about $85pp incl tip and tax, with one add-on felt pretty filling (and the dessert was for my separate dessert stomach so that kinda didn't count ;) *if you know Michelin star ratings and have eaten a lot of authentic Asian food then you also know Michelin ratings for the most part do not know how to distinguish the level of cooking expertise or execution of flavor of Asian food. The reviewers don't understand the elements of Asian cooking as thoroughly as they do Western European cuisine, and probably haven't eaten at enough places to compare. I'll be blunt and say many of the Asian restaurants designated Bib Gourmand in NYC are kinda a joke, not because they are bad, but bc there are a ton of other places with as good food and comparable service. It's like they just google-searched popular Asian restaurants and cobbled together a list. That being said, I do feel Odre rightfully deserves a recognition (regardless of which recognition) bc the flavors and creativity of the dishes speak volumes for themselves! read more

I stumbled upon this place from one of those IG influencers. I usually don't trust those people, but given the amazing price point, we decided to give it a try. I won't get into every single dish, I will say everything was cooked perfectly and with great flavors. My favorite of the night is spicy beef shank as the third course. It reminds me of a spicy galbi jiim. Meat melts in your mouth and flavor explodes in your mouth. I also liked the Hwe platter a lot, scallop, tuna and abalone were prepared in ceviche style, vinaigrette was acidic and refreshing. With $42 per person, some dishes require $4 uncharge (hwe platter and snow crab mandoo), I thought the price was unbeatable given what we got. Service was attentive and efficient. Highly recommend give Odre a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Odre is a Michelin Guide addition for NYC that serves elevated pre-fixed Korean cuisine for $42. We're glad that we tried this place as we were blown away with the food, presentation, and customer service. Our group of three enjoyed most of the items on the pre-fixed menu with the addition of chicken twigim. And an additional star for the complimentary amuse-bouche while waiting for our dishes. There are items that really stood out like the Hwe platter, snow crab mandoo, spicy beef shank, branzino gui, and the duck gui served with daily Bansang. That night, the daily Bansang was sushi rolls, soup, and salad. We truly enjoyed the dinner here. If you are reading this, go ahead and book before the pre-fixed menu price goes up due to inflation. read more

Saturday at 7pm a new addition to the Korean food scene in the east village that has great value $42 for prix fix menu was my friend and i's restaurant choice for our quarterly dinner . What an amazing pick . From the minute you walk in the door , you're immediately welcomed with positivity! It's a small place , cozy with very minimal decor , the focus at least for me was food which was on point . 3 is the lucky number as there are 6 appetizers ( each person can choose 2) and the 3 mains ( one person choose 1) . With 3 people , we ordered and shared 9 dishes that we enjoyed together. Every dish was perfection , the flavors were rich , bursting with flavors . They start off the tasting with the mouth watering butternut squash , followed by all the small dishes ( starters ) , then the banchan ( so good !) and the entree . Not only was the food delicious but the cocktails were nicely done ! We started with the martinis and ended with the coconut old fashion ( and a bottle of soju in between ). The servers were interchangeable, there were two amazing ones who engaged with us , helped explain the menu and provided some insightful feedback about the food etc What a lovely evening and great meal to share with friends ! read more

Fabulous, flavorful, well-crafted, and impeccably presented tasting menu for $42 in the East Village! The waitress was incredibly knowledgable about each course and cocktail, and the care and thought put into the menu really showed through. We each started with the Hwe Platter - a few raw fish pieces in a delicious somewhat spiced red sauce with basil. Next up I had the broccolini and mussels- not a favorite, but my companion had the snow crab rolls, which were his favorite of the night. Your main course comes with a tray of additional flavors, "Banchan", rice, and a warm and rich side soup with cabbage. My main was the cod, which came in a delicious miso-esque sauce, but the tender and sweet beef shank stole the show! Cocktails were as well-crafted as the food, and the restaurant serves a generous happy hour until 7 pm, the waiters even checked in with us before happy hour ended to put in another round. 10/10 on service, 9/10 on food, vibe left a little to be imagined, but the place filled up quickly and the buzz of other diners provided a stimulating backdrop for the rest of the meal. Would go again soon! read more

"Elevated" Korean fine dining is as common as rats in NYC by now, so color me as skeptical as a red stater listening to Kamala Harris stump when I was brought here for dinner. A $50 prix fixe that was both authentic, upscale and good? Riiiiight. Well, I'll eat my skepticism. Esp if it's served with Odre's Squash Pancake. But I'll get to that. Service: Friendly and minimal, exactly what you want Vibes: Also minimal with the occasional wall art to break up the white Drinks: Didn't bother with any Food: Let's dig in (get it, cuz food?)..... - Cuttlefish Salad: Fresh and tasty with a perfect blend of eggplant and tomato - Cold Asparagus: Perfectly cooked and accompanied by a good amount of shrimp and tart grapefruit - Squash Pancake: I thought this would be sooo boring. I mean, I LOVE vegetables, but how much fun can you have with veggies encased in dough? Odre said, "Hold my gourd" and proved me so damn wrong. This gorgeous sack of gluten was stuffed with the eponymous squash, scallop mousse, wild chive jangajji, and copious amounts of what I can only assume is Korean fairy dust because it was like a flavor bomb in my mouth with every bite. So good, I thought about going to battle rather than having to share the other half. - Corn Twigim: An equally satisfying fried dough creation but with corn. So much yum. - Beef Shank: Very good, but they needed to give more. - Dak Galbi: Same portion issue. I think they were counting on the rice making up the difference from the Bansang. Speaking of which... - Bansang: Nice soup, decent selection of ban chan with the julienned red radish being my favorite. The kimchi variation was just all right. We decided to "treat" ourselves with their one and only dessert of Bae Bingsoo. It was very Korean in flavor and ingredient, and appropriately "not too sweet" to satisfy our Asian taste buds. Glad we caught this place before inflation takes its toll and the $50 rises to $95. I suggest you do likewise. read more

TLDR: wish I could be more generous with my review but a $42 tasting menu in NYC was too good to be true. The quality of the food here warrants the price. SETTING: we love Korean fine dining especially anything coming out of the Hand Hospitality Group and have been to probably all of the other Korean restaurants in this group. You can say our expectations were quite high. The restaurant is nice enough - on second Ave, pretty nondescript interior, minimal design. The entire restaurant was full on the Tuesday night we went. FOOD: we got all three of the first courses (hwe platter, sesame chicken, and cold asparagus). Unfortunately, none of the dishes hit the spot. The cold sesame chicken was bland and boiled. The apple slices and greens on top did not add much. The hwe platter was just a typical assortment of Korean fish- very fresh and delicious but nothing to write home about and nothing surprising. The cold asparagus similarly was fine ... the slices of grapefruit with small thin pieces of lobster and cold asparagus didn't really mesh well. We got the mung bean fritters and Mandoo for the second course. I was expecting a lot given all the other reviews stating these were delicious.... But they both fell short. Last we got the duck and beef for our final course. This is where Odre shined. It was served with traditional Korean banchan of assorted vegetables pickled: etc and spicy kimchi soup. The soup reminded me of my grandma's cooking - such depth of flavor and perfect spice level. The beef and duck were also our favorite dishes of the night. Really really flavorful, soulful food. I wish all the others had been of the same caliber. SERVICE: service was amazing. I wish I could remember our servers name! She was great, checked in enough, very sweet. VERDICT: I do think Odre has some room for improvement across the board with their first two courses. I would check it out because at the end of the day it's only $42 for a tasting menu of traditional Korean food, but don't come here expecting the same level of cooking at some of the other Hand Hospitality Group restaurants! read more

Came here with my friend who was born in Korea. He said the food reminded him of food from home. The restaurant walking in looks modern and clean. When we walked in the chef/owner greeted us and shortly after someone came to bring us to our table. The table was set with wooden spoon and chop sticks. I ordered the cuttlefish for the first course which was balanced and very refreshing. For the second course I had the corn dish which was one of my favorite bites of the night crunchy and moist inside. For the 3rd dish I had the Dak Galbi that the waiter recommended and after seeing it and eating it I knew why. The chicken thigh was glistening and cooked to perfection the sauce pairing was flavorful, spicy but not overpowering . It was nice to get the bansang seaweed soup and rice to help compliment and bring the meal together. We ended with watermelon bingsoo whicj was delicious dairy free and hit the spot. We also both had a glass of makeolli here and it was very good one of the better makeolli we have had give this place a try if there still are any reservations left you won't be disappointed. read more

I honestly did not expect much but the food here exceeded my expectations! The new menu is really solid. The only ding is that the service here is not the best (on the rather slow side, has to wait 20-30 mins between dishes), but not unexpected given the tasting menu was only $42. The inside is small with a nice date-night ambiance. Food-wise, they started us off with: -Thin chip and sour cream (5/5): they started us off with this dish and it was so delicious! The chip was extremely thin and delicate, and the sour cream was light in taste and texture First course: -Asparagus with lobster (4/5): the lobster was good, but definitely came from the freezer. Loved the milky pine nut sauce though, it gave the dish such a refreshing taste -Hwe Platter (3/5): seafood was good quality but not the best, and I was personally not a huge fan of the gochujang sauce Second course: -Yukjeon (5/5): my favorite. The texture of the lotus root shined, and the dish overall was extremely savory and satisfying -Snow crab mandoo (4/5): wish they used a mandoo wrapper instead of the radish, but I really loved the flavor of the snow crab Third & fourth courses: -Monkfish (4.5/5): such a surprise... I really liked the monkfish! It had great flavor and a very soft texture. Was just not a huge fan of the gochujang sauce, which was the same as the one used in the hwe platter -Beef Shank (5/5): my favorite dish of the night! The beef was so tender and melted in my mouth, and the sauce was reminiscent of Galbi-jim and paired perfectly with the rice -Rice and banchan (4/5): soup was spicier than I expected and not my favorite. The rice was cooked really well and made of small grains, and paired well with the mains in the 3rd course. I was a fan of the banchan though! The banchan was light and refreshing, just wish we got free refills Overall, I think the meal was extremely good value. 1st and 2nd course were small, but 3rd and 4th course fill you up, leaving you satisfied and satiated. Definitely plan to stay here and have someone to yap to given the speed of service! read more

(Overall: A+) - Odre is a budget friendly Korean pre fixe at only $42 for four courses, and displays an impressive range of high quality ingredients executed with eye-catching techniques. The staff are receptive to feedback and innovatively rotate menus, with noticeable attention to detail in refilling water glasses every few minutes as well. This is a high quality experience that I would strongly recommend. (Hwe Platter: A) - This is a delicate raw dish featuring scallop and conch, which are both soft but provide subtle differences in texture and flavor that it goes well together. The spicy jang pairing and the prominence of the basil and herbs give the shellfish a flavor boost as well. (Snow Crab Mandoo: A) - Using radish as mandoo wrapper is a smart and sophistocated technique that I was quite impressed with, especially given the great value of the dish already. However, I think the seasoning could be improved as radish, zucchini, and crab are all delicate flavors that greatly benefit from building depth of flavor, and the sauce was approaching this direction, but is perhaps too thin in volume of the plate and in consistency to give the appropriate uplift. Further, since crab and radish are both white, the plating could benefit from a darker and less shallow plate. (Beef Shank: S) - I was incredibly impressed by the way this danced between western and Asian cuisine, with the flavors being a peppery uptake on your traditional braised beef. Both the beef and radish were perfectly trimmed into cubes, and the mushrooms added some umami earthiness to the dish. I also liked the white shaved vege on top to add color and additional texture. Highly recommend. (Bansang / Sweet Potato Chip: A) - The sides and start dish I was impressed with as they are both plated elegantly and cover the whole palette of flavors from spicy to sweet to salty. The lemon aioli and caramelized onoons had a very pleasant sophisocated flavor that pairs well with the sweet potato, although I found the sauce to be a bit too thick for the structure of those impressively thin chips.

My friend and I were excited to try Odre's tasting menu. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience. I was satisfied with the price and felt it matched the value. Each of the courses offer 3 different choices. Since it was the two of us, and we share the same tastes, it was easy to essentially pick 2/3 for each of the courses and share family style. Here's what we ordered, with the number indicating the course: 1- Cuttlefish Salad 1- Sesame Chicken 2- Squash Pancake 2- Corn Twigim 3- Steamed Monkfish 3- Beef Shank The first course were nice starters and refreshing salad-like dishes, although neither of the dishes stood out to me. We ordered the cuttlefish salad and the Sesame chicken. Cuttlefish salad was nice, fresh tasting, and a good way to start the meal. The sesame chicken was slightly disappointing to me because it wasn't the most flavor (I didn't taste much sesame) and I do not like cold chicken, just a personal preference. The Corn Twigim of the second course reminded me of a Spanish croqueta. It was good, and I liked the crunchy exterior but as a second course dish I wish I got more. The third course comes with banchan, seafood soup, and rice along with the protein dishes we chose for our third course. The soup may be different depending on the day as well as the banchan, depending on the season. My favorites of the night : - Squash Pancake (second course) - this was yummy and loved the texture. - Steamed Monkfish (third course) - this was seriously so flavorful and delicious. The gochugaru sauce pairs well with the fish too! Beef shank was well done, but not as unique a dish as the monkfish as I've had the classic Korean braised beef shank dish in other restaurants before. I spotted the Dak Galbi on someone else's plate and it looked like a bigger portion of protein... no regrets tho!! Both the monkfish and beef were excellent. Service was very attentive, almost too much so. My friend and I were catching up so we were yapping away, but every 2 minutes our server checked in on us which is nice in moderation... Also the water glasses are very small, so they refilled our waters VERY often as well. So take that as you will. I wasn't bursting at the seams full, but I'd say I was a perfect-amount-full, and satiated by the different flavors, textures, and types of courses. I'd go for the fun experience of the tasting menu, but the meal definitely is partial to the final course, where you're getting the majority of your food. read more

delightful prix fixe course for $42. we went in february when it was the winter menu. after you order, they give you complimentary soup. they had crispy rice on top and it was very good. the timing of the first two courses were good but as the restaurant got busier it was a bit slower with service. they only had three servers for the whole dining room. the servers were lovely and tried their best being attentive with everyone. if you go with more than one person, order different dishes so you can try more! i loved the white lotus makgeolli, it was very smooth and creamy. we ordered the chicken twigim add on, but i wouldn't recommend ordering more if you get full easily or if you ate a few hours prior. the food was enough make you full but not stuffed in a bad way. my favourites were the caesar salad and snow crab mandoo. the flavours were a fusion of western and korean cuisine - it's not quite traditional korean but it doesn't mean it's not good. i'm looking forward to going back and seeing how the menu changes. read more

The restaurant is very minimalist and has great design. The menu seems small because you only pick 3 items off the tasting menu but everything was so flavorful and filling. The drinks menu is definitely more focused on Korean alcohol, but the cocktails were still great. Overall, this is a good date spot read more

The food was innovative and delicious. The price is also reasonable. We loved the kimchi pie and the fish gui.

I can't believe I didn't find this place sooner. It's just in my backyard. You walk in into a minimalist design restaurant. It looks very chick. They have a very affordable 4 course $48 dinner plus a complimentary appetizer. It was a tofu tart with grapes on top. I almost didn't eat as it looks so pretty. We had the chicken salad, kimchi roll, branzino, duck. It was all so good. We ordered our drinks from the happy hour menu. They are as expected, not exceptional, so as the dessert- we have halo halo version which I like better. All in all it's a very good place to eat and definitely should be packed every day. read more

I was at this restaurant earlier this evening with a group. I arrived a bit early for the $6 dinner and the waitress brought me over to the table and was friendly all night going over dishes and repeating things we needed. She went over how the menu worked. On a side note, if you want to order more things such as extra appetizers essentially or larger plates, it is apparently possible with the smaller dishes being around $12 to $13 and the larger plates being around $19. This is not technically on the menu but it is possible. Outside of the extras which honestly aren't that necessary, the menu is reasonably priced being $42 for four courses plus a mini bansang consisting of a soup along with rice and a bunch of banchan/side dishes. Before we began, they gave us a seaweed chip topped with potato salad and pickled cucumbers which was tasty. There was some type of green powder on it which added some umami. The first course is the cold appetizer and I went with the Cold Asparagus listed with a milky pine nut sauce, lobster, and grapefruit. The lobster was tender though it could have been a bit sweeter but it paired well with the slightly spiced and nutty pine nut sauce along with the crunchy asparagus and the grapefruit. It was very tasty overall and the presentation was very nice. Other people enjoyed the Hwe Platter and the Sesame Chicken with the latter having probably the biggest portion of the bunch. The second course is the hot appetizer and I went with the Snow Crab Mandoo with jidan, zucchini, and crab sauce. They unfortunately gave me the Mung Bean Fritter with kimchi, oyster mushroom, bracken, and pecorino instead and it was nice for them to leave it for us and give me what I ordered a swell. The fritter was excellent with a bit of crunch and some good earthy mushroom flavor though I couldn't help but feel like it reminded me of a certain other types of fritter served at B&H Dairy especially with the sour cream on the side. Anyway, for the mandoo, instead of the usual dumpling texture, they used radish which was unexpected. The crab sauce was light and unlike the other dishes, it kind of lacked texture which was unfortunate as the dish had a good sweetness and the egg was nice on it. No one ordered the last dish; the yukjeon; so I'm not sure how it was/how it's presented. The third course is the main entree which is served with the bansang. Along with the person next to me, we decided to split all three of the entrees ordering one of them as extra. The best of the bunch and probably the best dish of the night was the Beef Shank listed with hen of the woods, pyogo, and king oyster mushrooms. This was essentially an excellent take on galbijjim, a braised rib dish due to the slightly sweet dark sauce and mushrooms, but in this case it was with shank. Second best was probably the Duck Gui with doenjang sauce, endive kimchi, and black garlic purée. The duck was very tender with a very lightly spicy sauce with the endive being roasted I believe and the black garlic adding a touch of earthy sweetness. The Steamed Monkfish with kongnamul, minari, Garlic Chip, and gochugaru sauce was alright. The fish portion was big but it was a bit bland and a bit hard with the gochugaru adding a very necessary light bit of heat. The soup of the day was a Mussel and Cabbage soup which was very tasty with a good amount of heat and I think two mussels. The rice had some kabocha/squash in it which was a good touch. The side dishes included a curry fish cake, pickled radish and seaweed, water spinach, mushroom, steamed egg cake, and radish. It was all pretty good quality and I've always been a fan of pickled radishes so that was probably my favorite with the other radish also being very tasty. Not much to say outside of the portion of each banchan being a bit small but there was enough food so that was fine. The place only has two desserts consisting of either Bae Bingsoo/Bingsu/shaved ice as well as Bam Pie. The former had pear confit, grape, mint, and pink peppercorn and it was pretty tasty though I'm not sure if I ordered it again. The pink peppercorns were a fun touch making it so that the ice wasn't too bland. The fruit was good also. Probably the only thing not worth the price but fine. The price point at this spot can't be beat for the general quality. Good flavors overall even with the couple dishes which had a few faults. I'd definitely stop by before they raise this spot to their sister spot Atoboy. Would go back. Mid 4 read more

Had a wonderful meal at Odre with some delicious drinks. The food was plated beautifully and everything was extremely tasty! I was very impressed with the the mix of flavors and creative uses of food - the skin of the snow crab mandoo was a thinly sliced radish! The staff was attentive and friendly. For a prix-fixe meal, I did leave relatively hungry which is why I removed one star. read more
