I went here for a birthday and anniversary celebration and we chose the pre fixe menu. The service was impeccable from the hostesses who coat checked my jacket and umbrella to the sommelier who gave a very informative background on the wine I selected (Spanish white wine - Esmeralda Garcia, Castilla y león 2023). The vineyards for this particular wine are over 200 yrs old which is rare but the sandy climate helps to deter pests! The waiters were also helpful when I asked about the sweetness level of desserts and any crowd favorites. As for the ambiance, i loved the lamps and the bream blue wall color with walnut wood. And as weird as it sounds the bathroom was really cool! They have sketches of the recipe brainstorming the chef made for the menu on the wall. This was honestly the coolest part to me. The drawings were very good too. For the menu between the two of us we tried: 1st course: beef tartare, gyeran-jjim, spotted prawn (eaten in that order); I liked the prawn the best as it was very creamy itself but the vinaigrette added some depth 2nd course: striped jack hwe (my favorite) & scallop; the striped jack has three pieces and each was very refreshed. The sauce tastes a bit Smokey as well which complimented it well. The raw scallop was creamy yet light 3rd course: lobster ramyun (my bf favorite); I could have eaten a giant bowl of this. I enjoyed that it was cold and that the chili spice was not overwhelming as to let the lobster shine. Even those who do not like spice can safely enjoy. 4th course: sea bass & galbi; the seafood broth with the sea bass was amazing and the umami flavor really stood out in this dish. I also appreciate the crispy rice adding a different texture along side the crispy skin in the sea bass. The galbi was really great as well. I loved the various ingredient of the dish especially the peach kimchi and that the sauce was lighter in flavor. The galbi basically melted in your mouth. 5th course: chapssal donuts & peach parfait The peach parfait was really unique. Each layer on the parfait introduced a new flavor but maintain the cohesiveness without making it overly sweet. I can see why the donuts are a fan favorite though! Crispy yet chewy on the inside. I could have eaten more dessert it was great. read more

Beautifully served food with so much flavor. Creative fusion of traditional dishes and new ingredients. Restaurant is beautiful, classy with a nice easy vibe. Came for a birthday celebration and staff graciously acknowledged the special event with a champagne toast and special dessert at the end. One incident though left a sour note. As we finished our fourth course of the 5-course prix fixe dinner, we were approached by the manager to say our two hour dining limit has passed and they can serve our dessert at the bar. At which point, we pointed out that we arrived on time and that the pace has been set by the service so it's inappropriate to cut short our dining experience. She eventually relented and told us to enjoy our meal through the end. Would have been a perfect birthday celebration but for this incident. read more

The service was great overall! Everyone was very attentive and explained the dish well. I enjoyed the food, especially the oiji bowl. I think it's worth the extra price but I haven't tried the other third course menu options so can't be a fair judge. My favorite was probably the first course. It was a great refreshing start to the meal. I think every bite balanced each other well. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by the other courses. The sea bass was warm, hearty, and seasoned very well but just tasted like Korean crab soup that I make at home. I did really enjoy the texture of the crispy rice. Dessert was a bit too sweet honestly but the donuts were delicious. I unfortunately did not think that the cocktails were worth it. They were good but so small, a little too sweet, and not special for its price. I'd rather get drinks elsewhere before or after going to oiji mi. The restaurant is also beautiful and comfortable. Overall, I would give the meal a 3.6. read more

Food: 10/10 Service: 7/10 Ambience: 10/10 This place was so delicious! I could tell every dish was made fresh and not to mention the portions were pretty decent sized! My friends and I were so full by the end of the dinner. The service was overall okay. I think it may have been just our server though. He was very monotone and not friendly nor welcoming. But the other servers who brought out our plates were much nicer and made sure we were enjoying our experiences. Other than that I definitely want to come back and try again because oijimi bowl was sooo delicious I kept thinking about it even afterwards! read more

Had a great time having a dinner for 4. Felt all the dishes were executed real well and had great flavors. Their broths were quite excellent and didn't overwhelm any of the proteins. Favorite was the bingsu and the scallop. read more

Oiji Mi - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

First fine dining experience for me and my parents and to our surprise we enjoyed it so much, from the beginning to the moment we left the restaurant. There's a 5 course Prix-Fixe menu at the main dining room ($155 per person). And there are a few options to choose from for each course. There were a few of us so we could try everything! Everything we tried were perfect, some more outstanding than the others. Our favorite were Gyeran-Jjim, scallop, lobster ramyun and galbi! We loved how we could taste all the ingredients. Our palates were not overwhelmed by gravies and sauces but the freshness in each ingredient. Portions may seem small but we left satisfied not stuffed. Service was ok. Our server was good. Sometimes we felt rushed when they came to collect the plates to prepare for the next course. We had a big group so we were sitting at a more private area but some tables can be quite close to each other. Also it was very dark inside and the prints on the menu were very small so we had a hard time reading the menu. No reception in there but they got wifi. These were very minor we still enjoyed our dinner so much that we were still talking about the meal a couple of days later! read more

First time dining at Oiji Mi and overall I came away impressed. The five-course prix fixe is $155, and I added the $65 non-alcoholic pairing. The food is modern Korean with a lot of fine-dining and international influences, and I thought the meal was strongest when those influences complemented rather than obscured the Korean foundation. The meal started with three small bites: beef tartare, spotted prawn, and gyeran-jjim. The gyeran-jjim with peas was pleasantly mild and subtly sweet. The peas had a nice bite, although I would have preferred them slightly more tender, and the little anchovies added a great salty crunch against the soft custard-like texture. The beef tartare was also good, particularly because of the contrast between the soft beef and crisp wrapper. My favorite of the three was the spotted prawn. It had a pleasant floral aroma and a wonderfully chewy, almost bouncy texture. These were paired with Villbrygg Skog 03 from Norway, which was mild and refreshing. It was restrained enough not to overwhelm three very different bites. For the appetizer, I chose the striped jack hwe with Granny Smith apple, yuzu kosho, and finger lime. This was one of the stronger dishes of the night. There was a little heat, but it was pleasantly spicy, and I loved the contrast between the tender fish and crunchy vegetables underneath. The sauce was particularly good. It had a surprisingly beefy, sweet, salty, and umami-rich quality that reminded me of a really good marinade. The verjus spritz pairing added some welcome acidity and freshness. Next was the chili lobster ramyun with sesame, garlic, and cucumber. The cold noodles were excellent, chewy and properly al dente. The lobster was seasoned with chili and had a pleasant amount of heat. Once mixed together with the sauce, the dish became rich, savory, and hearty despite being served cold. The Prima Pavé Rosé Brut pairing worked nicely here, with the bubbles, acidity, and fruit helping balance the richness and spice. For the entrée, I chose the galbi with barley, peach kimchi, and vichyssoise. The galbi itself was excellent and cooked perfectly. The vichyssoise was light and pleasant while adding some richness to the beef. This was also the most challenging dish for me conceptually. I wasn't a big fan of the barley, which had a fairly al dente texture. With galbi, I found myself wishing it had simply been served with rice. The accompaniments included the fruit kimchi and what seemed like a potato and leek preparation. Between Korean galbi, barley, French vichyssoise, fruit kimchi, and the Chinese tea pairing, I felt a little culturally lost. All the individual components were well executed, but I wasn't completely sure where the identity of the dish was centered. I also would have liked more acidity and a stronger fermented kimchi flavor to cut through the richness. The galbi was paired with lapsang souchong tea from Fujian, China. I found the tea slightly bitter and mildly medicinal on the palate, so it wasn't my favorite drink of the evening. Aromatically, however, it was fantastic. It had an intense smoky, woody fragrance that paired extremely well with the galbi. I understood exactly what the pairing was trying to accomplish even if I didn't particularly enjoy the tea on its own. The final course, the chapssal donuts, was easily the most memorable dish of the night. The warm sweet-rice donuts were wonderfully chewy, and the cold crème fraîche ice cream provided a great temperature and texture contrast. The crunchy nutty crumble was the perfect finishing touch. Every bite had something warm, cold, chewy, creamy, and crunchy going on. The housemade kombucha pairing was also my favorite pairing of the evening. The dessert itself didn't have much fruitiness, and the kombucha supplied exactly that missing dimension along with some acidity. Together they tasted more complete than either component did separately. The non-alcoholic pairing was definitely worth trying. I appreciated that they didn't simply serve five variations of juice. The progression went from mild and refreshing, to acidic, fruity and sparkling, smoky and aromatic, and finally fermented and fruity. Some pairings were more successful than others, but each clearly had a purpose. Overall, Oiji Mi was a very good experience. The cooking was consistently precise, and I especially liked how much attention was paid to texture throughout the meal. There were crunchy elements against soft ones, chewy noodles and rice dough, creamy sauces, and thoughtful temperature contrasts. The fusion worked best for me when the Korean identity remained clear, as with the chapssal donuts. The galbi was less convincing conceptually, even though the beef itself was delicious. Highlights for me were the spotted prawn, striped jack hwe, chili lobster ramyun, and especially the chapssal donuts. I would happily come back to see how the menu evolves. 4.5/5 read more

The food at Oiji Mi was absolutely delicious, and we really enjoyed our meal. Street parking across from the restaurant was surprisingly easy to find, with plenty of spots available. The service was just okay, it felt a little rushed and wasn't particularly warm. That said, the food was excellent and the overall experience felt like great value for the price, especially in NYC. We'd definitely come back! read more

My favorites among the 5 courses would for the first course the beef tartare. Second course Striped Jack. Third course Jook. Fourth course Galbi. Fifth Chapssal Donuts. That being said everything was delicious. Definitely a top 5 meal this year. read more

My favorite michelin experience thus far! I went with my bf for my birthday and had an amazing experience. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. It was dimly lit in there but stunning. For it being a prix fixe menu, I enjoyed being able to choose what item I wanted from the 2nd-4th course. My bf & I chose a few different things so we could try more dishes and everything was PERFECT. Every item was an absolute hit, my favorite was the oiji mi bowl, definitely worth the added upgrade. They did not hold back on the uni and the rice was perfectly cooked underneath. The drinks were delicious as well, coming from a girl who does not like alcohol, the gnx punch was DELICIOUS. so smooth. I loved my strawberry & rhubarb soda, tangy and refreshing. I highly recommend Oiji Mi and would definitely dine again! read more

The food was delicious with complex flavors across five courses, and the ambiance and service were excellent. However, we were late but they told us half way to our 3rd course that we only had 1.5 hour time limit total, causing the remaining courses to feel rushed given the cost. read more

Came here on a sunday at 6:30 PM with a reservation for two. It was my first time trying a michelin star restaurant and it definitely did not disappoint. It was a dimly lit interior that was great for a date night. The servers were very attentive, bringing us our dishes in a very timely manner and clean bowls for sharing between courses. For the first course, we each got our own plate of three small appetizers. This include beef tartare wrapped in radish and topped with caviar, a steamed egg dish with various toppings, and spotted prawn. Out of those, the spotted prawn was definitely our favorite, but nothing stood out to me too much at this point in the meal. For the second course, we picked the scallop and the striped jack hwe. We both enjoyed the scallop more than the jack hwe. It was well seared and came with creamy sauce and vegetables. The jack hwe was very unique, with fresh and earthy flavors. For the third course, we had the oiji bowl and the lobster ramyun. The noodles of the ramyun were the perfect consistency, and the lobster was well buttered and in a spicy sauce. The oiji bowl stood out more to us. The seaweed in the rice was a great touch, and we loved the uni, ikura, and raw shrimp. A bite of all the components together was one of the tastiest of the meal. The last savory course was the most memorable. We picked the galbi and the sea bass. The galbi was thinly sliced and perfectly medium rare. It was different from other galbis we've had, with its smokiness. It came with a light creamy sauce, barley, and some corn kernels, as well as some very unique kimchi. The sea bass was also delicious. It came with crispy rice, octopus, and bok choy. The waiter poured a broth over it, which had a strong truffle flavor and a slight kick. All the components came together very well. For dessert, we ordered the melon bingsu and the chapssal donuts, which were both incredible. The bingsu was very light and refreshing, and we loved the chunks of melon in it. It went very well with the crumble and the melon sugar poured on top. We liked the chapssal donuts best. They were perfectly fried and chewy with sugar flakes, and went very well with the scoop of ice cream. They had also brought us complimentary hojicha cupcakes for our anniversary celebration, which were not as memorable. Overall, this was one of the best meals I've ever had, but also by far the most expensive at around $220 per person after tip and tax. The entire experience was extremely well curated, and lasted about an hour and a half. read more

I went with my boyfriend for a birthday/anniversary celebration and the service was so great from start to finish. The interior is gorgeous - it's modern with a hint of traditional Korean influences with the ceiling beams. Our standouts for the night were the scallops and the galbi. The brown butter sauce with the scallops was divine and the mashed potatoes with the galbi cut down on any fattiness. My boyfriend also got the wine pairing and all of the wines were very good (this is coming from someone who doesn't like wine at all!). Since we were celebrating 2 events, they were very kind to bring out 2 plates of lemon earl grey cupcakes. read more

Oiji Mi - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Really good experience overall. Service was excellent. Food was superb. I've been to Jungsik before and I think Oiji Mi isn't far behind. There is a lot of creativity in the food and seasoning while keeping many authentic Korean flavors. We got pretty full after the tasting menu. All the food was really good but I thought bingsu here was outstanding. The restaurant was very high ended and pretty. I liked it a lot. read more

Our first time at Oiji Mi and we will definitely be back! We went to celebrate a birthday and tried their tasting menu. Everything was fantastic - from flavors, to ambiance, to service. And the best dish for us was the second course, striped jack (hwe). It was so refreshing, light, but still packed a punch in terms of flavor. read more

Wonderful, elevated Korean dinner experience. I came for a celebratory meal and thought the tasting menu was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything. My favorites were the savory chappsal donut bite, striped jack "hwe" appetizer, and galbi entree. Surprisingly I also really enjoyed the lobster ramyun, which was simple yet so flavorful. I don't often dine at Michelin star restaurants, so my review might be biased, but we truly had a lovely time here. The staff members were especially friendly and attentive. We had a few allergies and all the substitutions were thoughtfully prepared. FYI though, I do believe non-vegetarians (being able to eat the meat and seafood) would probably have a slightly better/tastier experience here. Overall, we loved our meal! read more

My husband and I have wanted to try Oiji Mi since it first opened and finally had the opportunity to experience it for the first time last night. We treated my mother, who is visiting from South Korea, and it was such an impressive experience overall. My mother referred to it as once in a lifetime and was blown away by how creative and innovative the dishes were while still remaining true to Korean roots. The star dishes for me were the lobster ramyun and the galbi, but everything was incredibly delicious and so beautifully presented. We ordered the caviar doughnut add-on, which was really decadent and tasty. The service was outstanding on every level, and the space itself is stunning. Very sleek and modern but with really pretty accents (such as their light fixtures and the screens along the bar). I also loved the open kitchen where you could witness everything happening behind the scenes. I definitely hope to return to sample another seasonal menu and would also love to try their sister restaurant, Bom. read more

Some meals are meant to happen. I was meant to dine here. Let me tell you why. Despite being in town for basically a month, I only had one free weekend to myself. I decided to have a Michelin tasting for dinner both days. This was dinner 1 which was Saturday night. Dinner service had just started when I got there. There were more than usual people at the entrance because of this. Lots of staff were milling about. I ended up being seated adjacent to the kitchen. While I didn't have a view of the food prep happening, I did see when the staff were carrying out the dishes to serve the diners. It was lovely seeing all the comings and goings of the whole staff. Ok, so how the tasting works is that you get 5 courses. You have 3 options for courses 2-5. Course 1 is a trio of small bites as the amuse bouche. I got the scallop for course 2 then the lobster ramyun for course 3. Course 4 was the sea bass and closed with the best dessert. Every course was fantastic. Amazing food. Course 3 was my favorite. That ramyun was perfect. It had the right amount of spice. The service was perfection. Someone cleared the table after every course and changed the cutlery. My glass was always full of water. The end of my meal is when everything changed. I had just legitimately devoured every course. I remember seeing corn in the dessert I chose, but didn't recall how it was being served. It ended up being cheesecake with corn on top. I fully stopped and put my spoon down after the first bite. There's a Filipino dessert called maja blanca. Growing up, my mom would make it all the time. My mom passed on exactly a year ago. That cheesecake tasted 99.9% like my mom's maja blanca. I started to cry. I put my spoon down because I was trying to process what was happening. Took another bite, cried some more. The waterworks wouldn't stop. I kept telling myself to get my shit together. It took me forever to finish because I cried literally after every bite. I want to thank my server whom locked what was happening. She rushed over with a fresh napkin without me even asking for one. She didn't pry, just dropped it off then breezed away. I walked out feeling full and thankful. Thank you for an amazing meal. read more

Food, service and ambiance were all great. I love the grandeur of the restaurant with the bar separated from the main dining area, and a good view of the kitchen which was white and clean with a homely feel. $150 per person tasting menu is fair for a Michelin, so I'm glad we got to try it. They have some cool supplements and upcharges for certain things like the oiji bowl with uni and shrimp. I think the flavors were great, and we didn't have one bad dish. The only reason I give this four stars and not five is because it's likely not a restaurant I'd go back to in NYC. The arsonist was a great drink The donuts, galbi and scallop were 10/10 also! read more

Absolutely loved this place! We went for a birthday dinner and everything was so good! It is a set dinner, so you get whatever the chef has in store for everyone. We did add on the oiji bowl and it was so beautiful and delicious. The flavors were so good together. We also really enjoyed the truffle scallop dish that evening. The flavors were all so cohesive together and the pacing was great. Service was great as well. The staff paid great attention to our needs and made sure our glasses were always full. Beautiful and amazing experience for a special dinner! read more

Came for a birthday dinner on a Friday night and it was great! $150 before tax and tip pp for the tasting menu and you will def leave full. The scallops were slightly overcooked but otherwise everything else was delicious. The purree potato with the galbi was probably one of the best mashed potato I ever ate haha. Service was great, always checking in to see how we were doing. Very cute intimate spot for date night or celebration without being overly stuffy. read more

Amazing Michelin starred restaurant in Chelsea. Absolutely loved each of our courses, but I would have to say, they excel in the appetizers and desserts department. While their entrees are still delicious, I wouldn't say they were particularly outstanding. However, their first round was very flavorful and left a great impression. Their donut dessert was also a perfect harmony of texture, sweetness, and a little saltiness. I wish they would have a popup just selling the donuts - I would eat it every day. Their Melon Fight Milk was also a very fun and delicious alcoholic drink. If you choose to get some drinks, I would highly recommend trying it. Their service was very clean and nice. They're very accommodating and always cleaning up your table after each course. Sitting near the door, it does get a bit cold in the winter. I ended up having to grab my coat from coat check in the middle of my meal because of how cold it got. Otherwise, the place is beautiful! Would love to come back and try new dishes, but their dessert is where all my points go to in the end. read more

From start to finish, the dishes, service, and drinks were phenomenal. Such a great treat for mothers' day with seafood forward dishes that are served up in such innovative ways for a non seafood lover such as myself (outside of sushi). My favorite was surprisingly the sea bass and not the oiji bowl. The rice cracker crunch paired with the truffle broth poured over the delicate fish was a winner for me. Though plates were on the smaller side, I left with my belly satiated and by taste buds happy. read more

Decided to try Oiji Mi after seeing people on tiktok talking about it! Super glad we decided to give it a try. This review is for July of 2025. We did the prefix menu and did the add on of the torched wagyu which was really good. The first course came with scallop and beef tartare which was delicious. For the second course I did the scallop and it was really good as well and my husband got the tuna which was good but we preferred the scallop a bit more. For the 3rd course we both do the noodles which was really good and skipped on the bowl. For the last course we did the sea bass which we both really enjoyed. For dessert we did the bingsu and donuts both were good but I was definitely super stuffed by then. We both really enjoyed the vibe and definitely the food at oiji mi! read more

Last week I and my wife went to NY for our daughter graduation (time flies). To celebrate her Summa Cum Laude achievement, we let her to pick a restaurant that she'd love to try. She took us to this one, she was afraid that we didn't like it because the one fixed price $150/person. Anything for our daughter I said. So this is a 5 course dinner called taster, not really a restaurant that you have menu and order a la cart. Yes, you would have some choices for each course. The place is very nice, the ambience and decor are very nice. Well, it's in NY, we don't drive so there's any parking lot around for me to park if I drove. BTW, they let me wearing shorts to come in since it was so hot that day in NY, especially at the commencement in Central Park. The service people are extremely attentive and fast. BTW, this also supposed to be a Michelin Guide restaurant and this is the first one we've been since we're not as hip as our daughter. Our daughter was so happy when we didn't show any disagreement on our faces when we see the menu and the bill. She also had a friend with us. OK, our daughter ordered some cocktails of some kind and she loved it. It looks nice. The first course is appetizer and fixed, no choices since it came with 3 different little variety seafood on the plate. Yes, this place is for tasting, not really for hogging the foods as normal restaurants, tiny little flavorful things for us to taste, and the first course is actually very refreshing and tasty. The server was describing every dishes of every course for us to the details, but we couldn't hear much because of the noise in the restaurant. The table utensils were removed and clean after every course, which is very classy IMHO LOL. Then came the second course, also very little but quite delicious and different. BTW, this is supposed to be a Korea restaurant, but none of the dishes are traditional Korean dishes that we've had at other restaurants, must be fusion. I was thinking with all these tasting dishes, I'll be heading for NY pizza after the dinner. We select different dishes for each course since we have 4 people so we can try all different ones. They're all excellent. The amazing thing is after the 4th course which is the main one, I didn't feel the need for the Pizza LOL. The presentation was very nice and our daughter was so proud to take us here. I and my wife told her that we're actually starting to like these 5 course restaurant until later in the week we had the cruise with loosely called 5 course dinner on a boat, that's a different review. The desserts were nice to end with the 5 course dinner. If you asked me what I've had, I couldn't tell you, all I know is it's good, light, flavorful, tasty. Does it worth $150/person? It's depend on how you enjoy dining out. For us, we make money to try everything new, and thanks to our daughter, we experienced something very different. I'm sure there are many restaurants like this in the Bay Area if we look for them. It's kinda nice to have a fixed price, 5 course dinner as long as they have great services and out of ordinary tastes. After all said and done $820 for 4 dinners is a little much for normal people, I think, but for us, whatever makes our daughter happy, it's priceless. read more

We tried the tasting menu at Oiji Mi. The beef tartare had good texture and was paired with pear, noodles, and a cold broth that worked well together. The scallops in the mushroom soup were tender, though the overall seasoning felt a bit on the salty side. The fish course wasn't my favorite, as the seafood flavor felt slightly strong for my taste. The steak was well executed, with a pleasant bite and light char. We also ordered the seafood rice bowl with uni, sweet shrimp, and roe. The uni was fresh and sweet, and the dish was straightforward. Several dishes included black truffle. While it's clearly part of the restaurant's style, I personally didn't find that it added much to the flavors, and the truffle aroma was quite mild. Desserts were thoughtfully prepared and provided a lighter finish to the meal. The service was excellent read more

Love a place for modern Korean food as its always so refreshing! The ambience was chic and stylish with modern Art Deco and Asian decor. Now for the more interesting part the food! 1st Course: Beef Tartare, Spotted Prawn, and Gyeran-jjim. Everything was refreshing, and perfectly light. 2nd Course: Trout Hwe, Scallops, and Squash Blossom. I could have 2 more plates of all of these please. 3rd Course: Oiji Bowl, Chili Lobster Ramyun, and Jook. You absolutely must get the Oji Bowl! The amount of uni (sea urchin) they pack into that bowl is so much. The Lobster Ramyun was good! Jook was alright. 4th Course: Suckling Pig (for two). Oh this is where you fill up quickly and quietly. That little leg fills you up fast and they include perfect compliment sides to it as well. 5th course: Black Sugar Bingsu and Parfait. The Black Sugar Bingsu was literally deconstructed bubble tea... and love it! The Parfait is something you can skip on though it was boring. That was the only miss here! Service was on point they really made sure to they accommodated your needs, explained everything about the dishes and how to eat them. Now I have two favorite spots for this type of elevated Korean food, and luckily they are just couple blocks from each other. Would recommend for everyone to from just because, time with friends, celebrating anything or an intimate night. read more

10/10 everything we had was amazing. The scallops and peach parfait were standouts as well as the three starting pieces

Taste was good. Quality and service were great. The 5-course prix-fixe was satisfying. The only qualm was that there wasn't any dish that I'd be inclined to return for. Overall it was a solid experience. Servers made sure the table was tidy and utensils were replaced after each course. They explained each dish and asked if everything was ok. I'm picky about the smell and fishiness of seafood, but the quality was perfect. My favorite dish was probably the 2nd course spicy bbq squid, which has a good kick. The lobster ramyun was almost a little too rich for me with the mayo. I was worried if I would still be hungry but then the 5th course satisfied us. They gave me a cupcake for my birthday. They have a coat check and you can see into the kitchen, which was cool. read more

Ambiance: 10/10 so cute, great for bday and other celebrations. Soft glam vibes and elegant and classy Food: 2024 Michelin one star. 5 courses for $150, 35 additional for oiji bowl add on. My fave in order: 1. Signature OIJI BOWL lives up to its hype, 100/10 so good. 2. Spotted prawn first course- melts in mouth 3. Scallop with truffle brown butter , so flavorful 4. Jook- black cod (flavor was on point) I didn't like the sea bass as much in comparison, tasted a little basic , could use some improvement here For bday celebration, they do a mini cupcake with candle, cute Also REALLY love the Sauvignon blanc from France By the glass they carry, my fave Sauvignon blanc thus far Overall - pleased with my experience and highly recommend! read more

The restaurant is very swanky even though I came in very casual clothes I was still able to be seated with my reservation through Chase Open Tables. The waiter was super nice and accommodating. I had some last minute food restrictions by the doctor and they were able to suggest and replace the ingredients on the spot. The food itself was delicious, although I am not really a fan of the fixed meal full course style dinners it was still enjoyable. I did order an extra dish and I admit I could probably keep eating but I would say that I would be okay with not eating for the rest of the night. I would assume a normal American would still be hungry after the full course though. I definitely enjoy it for the experience and it would be a great date night spot if you have the money to burn because it is quite expensive as it should be for the location and the experience it provides. read more

AMAZING you have to come eat here! I am itching for the chance to come back! I came here to catch up with an old friend and it happened to land on my birthday. It was pretty easy to make a reservation here. I like the format of the tasting menu here where it's 5 courses but you get to pick what you get for each course. I wish I had taken a picture of the menu from the day that I dined but just trust that everything was excellent. My friend and I both got the things that cost more on top of the base price: the oiji bowl and the lamb chops. The server told us that the lamb chops were sourced from the same farm as the French Laundry and that it's a recent addition to the menu. I was sucked into ordering it because I'm from California and have good memories at the French Laundry lol. With the addition of these two supplements, it ended up being like $300 per person though including tax and tip, which is double the base price lol BUT the steep price tag was so worth it. I was so impressed with everything that I ate here, but the stand out dishes were definitely the oiji bowl and the bing soo. My god the boba that came with the bing soo was the best boba that I've ever had. I wish me and my friend ordered two bing soos instead of getting one of the parfaits. On top of the amazing food, the interior design is stunning and the bathrooms were really nice. The complimentary cupcake for my birthday was also really good too like I was not expecting it to hit as hard as it did for a free dessert. Overall, EXCELLENT meal and I will be returning to try their other menu items! read more

Our group of 7 was able to try Oiji Mi during our most recent trip to New York and had a great experience! The meal started with a trio of amuse bouche - spotted prawn, beef tartare and gyeran-jjim. The steamed egg was hearty and flavorful - and you could taste all the components of shiitake broth, turnip and onion. I also really liked the spotted prawn which was very fresh. For the 2nd course, I picked the amberjack hwe but also got to try a little bit of the scallop, which is pan seared. Both were tasty but I definitely prefered the amberjack which was light and refreshing. For the 3rd course, I tried the Oiji bowl which comes at an additional cost. There was a hefty portion of uni, spotted prawn, ikura and cucumber. Every bite was so tasty! I also got a few bites of the lobster ramyun and black cod jook. Both were yummy but would definitely recommend the lobster ramyun if you don't want to pay the supplement. The 4th course was definitely the weakest. I got the galbi which came out a little dry. Our table also tried the sea bass and suckling pig - sea bass was good but nothing notable. I personally didn't love the suckling pig (which is also an additional cost) - the skin is not as crispy as what you get with Chinese suckling pig; the meat was also a little dry. For dessert, I got the parfait which I really enjoyed. The pluot sorbet was light and refreshing and the white peach was tasty. The oolong flavor in the tea also came through well. The black sugar bingsu was the groups' favorite. Chapssal donut was tasty as well but too heavy for me. Overall, a delightful dining experience. Service was good but not exceptional. Worth a try. read more

chose to dine here for our girlfriends birthday. they have been here before and said the first time was so memorable, they wanted us to experience it as well. we chose the pri fix menu some stand out dishes -scallop -lobster ramyun specifically for their noodle texture -lamb chops (upgraded) -shaved ice cream bingsu we also upgraded for their most popular oiji bowl and was very disappointed. upon first bite, I tasted a very foul, unfresh uni. friends tried it and agreed. mentioned it to the server, says chef agrees - doesn't think it is to his quality standard. sends us another bowl and although it was slightly better, you could still taste the uni tasting funky. I LOVE UNI and if this was my first time having uni, I would not be a fan. server apologized and asked what do we want him to do which was odd-- their most popular dish was unfortunately the worst and they could not compliment it. I was looking forward to it all evening overall, I don't think we will return. service was great but the food was just mediocre for a nearly $1000 tab (alcohol and upgrades drove up the tab) read more

Overall: A+ // 6 stars Innovative Korean Michelin star restaurant that really excelled in the seafood portion of the menu in particular. The menu is bright with Korean-forward flavors whilest blending in notes from beyond that builds to be vibrant and flavorful that excites. They set a high standard for quality of service from thorough explanations of all their dishes to being critically attentive of dietary constraints. Favorite dishes include the lobster ramyun and oiji bowl, but everything was great and highly recommend the experience overall. (Beef Tartare: A) - A spectacular first bite that blends classic Asian comfort from the pickled radish with a popular western dish; the pickled radish carries in an acidic way that traditional capers would, and is overall a pleasant bite. (Egg Custard: A) - Silky smooth lusciousness of the egg paired with an intensity of umami coming from broth and mushroom; it's light and fluffy and simply enjoyable. (Prawn - S) - The recreation of a scallop using prawns as the meat and finger lime as the pearls is mesmerizing. Everything here is so delicate from the light gochugaru spice to the citrus "caviar" to the natural sweetness of the shrimp. (The Arsonist: A+) - Such a fun, aesthetic forward drink that infuses tropical flavors with mezcal notes. The engraved pineapple on the rocks and torched pineapple are distinct touches that make this drink iconic. (Amberjack: A) - I'm so impressed by this riceless gimbap take on hwe, which is empowered by the herbaceousness from the perilla among others. The dressing adds a balanced acidic saline and works well. (Scallop: B) - Incredibly tender and well cooked scallop, but I found the flavor profile to rather saline forward; theres a heavy richness to this that I think doesn't fit with the rest of the menu actually. (Lobster: A+) - Unbeatable flavor palette that has remnants of three enjoyable Korean dishes, first with the spicy but tender lobster, followed by a chilled citrus cold ramyun, and with notes of zhajiangmian from the bean-paste forward flavors and the cucumber. (Oiji Bowl: A+) - Top notch seafood coming from the ikura, scallop, and lusciously sweet uni. What makes this bowl above all other chirashi is the comforting seaweed rice that has a decadent umami comfort to pair help bring out the jewels of the sea. (Galbi: A) - Pink, beautiful, and cooked to perfection with a flavorful wagyu jus. What speaks more to me in this dish is the chantrelle accompaniment and the Korean-style jicama that adds a unique vibrance to the dish. (Sea Bass: A) - Tender seabass with rice crackers that maintained its texture. This dish is carried by that immersive truffle shellfish broth, which has an intensity of both truffle and shellfish flavors that give this dish a new life. (Chocolate Mousse: A) - Looks visibly solid, but had a creamy smooth texture; the bed of fruit does a good job alleviating the richness of the dessert, and is also carefully selected and tasty.

Excellent restaurant, the flavors are divine. One thing I didn't like is that they have a require prefixe in the main dining room so beware of that. You can do a la carte in the bar/lounge area. Seating is much more limited though. They also charge a cancellation fee which I despise but won't hold against them. I just dislike restaurants that do that We ordered the shrimp bites, lobster ramyun, sea bass and the galbi. Right off the bat, the service is just incredible. Definitely Michelin worthy. Everyone is super attentive and calm and kind and all smiles. They checked in appropriately, not too often. Not too little. We were seated right away when we arrived. Since we were too hungry, we decided not to do the tasting menu. One of the issues I did have with the menu was their offerings. There were a number of things I would not eat like the beef tartare or sea urchin etc. really glad I didn't have the tasting menu because I would have been miserable with some of the choices. And while there are 3 choices per course, I noted a few courses where I would have felt limited. Anyway, the shrimp bites were delectable. A slight tang with mild sweetness and you slurp it up like an oyster. The lobster ramyun was by far my favorite. The flavor just coats the noodles and you get this strong umami flavor that packs a nice punch. The sea bass was good though I felt like it was slightly under salted. It relies heavily of the seafood broth which in itself was delicious. The Galbi shone like a diamond. Simply delicious. Overall great ambiance and decor. Wonderful service. Great flavors. If their menu changes I would love to go back but that is me problem, not theirs. read more

What an amazing dinner! Came to celebrate our anniversary and we were blown away by everything: the food, the staff and the ambiance. We had a lot of questions regarding the menu and our server was patient and explained everything and made recommendations. We enjoyed everything we had, which I know can seem like a blanket statement, but each dish felt very intentional and well balanced. I savored every bite. Great dinner date place! read more

Wow. This was one of the best meals I've ever had. The tasting menu features 5 courses, where for the final 4 you choose between 3 options. We ordered: - starter consisting of a beef tartare with caviar, shrimp, and a cold soup - second course: scallop and amberjack. I preferred the scallop here very flavorful - third course: jook and lobster ramyun. The ramyun was cold which I was not expecting but still good. The jook was incredible - fourth course: Galbi and seabass. Both so good. Galbi was paired with a potato side and the seabass featured a crispy rice in the broth which was a delight. - dessert: bingsoo and donut. Again both really good. The bingsoo was like a brown sugar boba as shaved ice and the donut was incredible highly recommend read more

Will preface this by saying there were some dishes I loved and some that I thought were just okay! If you're indecisive like me, I'd recommend you get (1) the scallops (2) the porridge (3) the kalbi (4) the bingsu. I thought the first bite of the ramen dish was lovely and then the remaining bites were a bit too heavy for my taste. The flavors were fantastic, the staff were kind and attentive, and it's a great vibe for a date (or double date/group). I wouldn't say it was exactly my favorite fixed menu that I've had -- but it could have been if I chose the right path! read more
