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

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

Every dish was beautifully presented, but more importantly, it stayed true to its authentic flavors. Everything tasted absolutely amazing. As a solo traveler visiting from out of town, I especially appreciated the bartenders. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, and went out of their way to recommend great cafés, bars, and restaurants to check out around the city. Highly recommend, and I'd definitely come back! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stopped by after a business meeting last night and took a seat at the bar. This was my first time at a 2-star Michelin spot, and I was curious what the difference would be. The food was precise, flavorful, and well balanced. The scallop was easily my favorite. The truffle brown butter and bean sprout broth complemented the dish beautifully, an unexpectedly strong pairing. The quality of the scallops was immediately apparent and they were cooked perfectly. The beef tartare on toast was also exceptional, light and well balanced, with the caviar complementing it beautifully. Galbi was a well-executed and satisfying dish. I chose the Pierre Gerbais Extra Brut from the sparkling wine list, which paired nicely and complemented everything without overpowering it. Service was both attentive and relaxed with pacing that felt just right. The space was polished and comfortable. Somewhere you can actually settle in and enjoy your time. Overall, a really good experience. I would come back. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So so so disappointed. Many people have told me this place is amazing and reviews are great, but the food is just unbelievable underwhelming. Service and ambiance were great (therefore saving it from being one-star), but I was disappointed by one dish after another. Everything felt like a gentrified reach for creativity and quality was lacking. A couple of the starting items were pretty interesting, but for the most part, things were not executed properly. Considering the price point, I don't think expecting my food to come out the right temperature and with good taste to be outrageous, but they couldn't even meet that. We even did the $35 oiji bowl supplement - the seafood and rice were both room temperature like it had been sitting out and the uni wasn't fresh. Bossam and sea bass were flavorless and dry. Duck breast had a lot of tendon and was tough. I rarely write two-star reviews, but I just really don't think this place deserves the hype it gets. 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

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

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

I think the service and the food is deserving of a Michelin star, but overall I feel the food fails on delivering its cuisine as a modern Korean-American contemporary fusion. I feel the chef sacrificed a lot by dumbing down their flavors to fit the "locale palette" when instead they should have been more stubborn and focused on producing "tasty" food instead. The food: The most notable dish was the chili lobster ramyun. The ramyun was delicious and chewy and pronounced the sesame flavor very well. The chili lobster was bland. If you've ever traveled out east to taste chili sauce, this is the water-downed version of it. The second most notable dish was the galbi, but it felt more like a well executed standard short rib steak. It felt the most American type of meal... without any Korean influence. Tasty, but lacking thematically. Other dishes were good, not great. (Fried rice was terrible, and the fish entree is incomplete in my opinion) I'm not going to say this Oiji Mi is bad (it's not), but it leaves a lot to be desired compared to what it could be. 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

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.

Overall rating: 4.6 Admittedly I've actually never of this place, but my friend highly recommended it. I really liked how cultured it was & I felt like I was in a movie. I am obviously not a part of the audience. I went back in November so I can't fully tell or remember if these were the items I ordered. But if you're the owner, could you remind me what the dessert was? I was obsessed! - Scallop, Caviar and milk foam: 4.5/5 interesting take - LOBSTER RAMYUN: 4/5 good but was it good, good? - Peking Chicken Lettuce Wraps: 3.5/5 - good, but way too much work - BLACK SUGAR BINGSU 5/5 - so delicious, so upset I couldn't finish I would come back for just the dessert. 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

I haven't been back to Oiji Mi since it was in east village. I'm glad I had the chance to check out the newer location! It's a set menu with a variety of elevated Korean bites. The decor inside is classy and the service is excellent. They were very accommodating to a pescatarian we had in our group. I highly recommend the scallop and Oiji bowl! For dessert, one thing to note is that the donuts have a strong Gruyère flavor which some may not enjoy. Overall a great experience! read more

My wife and I first dined at Oiji Mi several months before it was awarded its Michelin star in 2023. We finally returned for another meal and we were pleased to find that it's still terrific. We dined at a table in the bar area, instead of the main dining room, because I thought we'd just order à la carte, but the options on the five-course prices fixe menu are so appealing that we both went with it, instead. As before, the restaurant itself and the service are both impeccable. The bar area was surprisingly quiet, which we appreciated. The food hasn't changed much from the original menu, but that's a good thing. There were no missteps at all in that regard. As it was three years ago, the Oiji Bowl is one of my favorite dishes of all time. During a recent trip to Kyoto, I basically recreated the combination of rice, pickles and toppings at our hotel's breakfast buffet every morning, but the Oiji Bowl is next-level good. We won't wait another three years to return for another meal. read more

Overall 4.25/5 Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 4/5 We celebrated my hubby's birthday here and the side dishes felt more memorable than the main course! Our fave part of the entire meal was actually the desserts. For a $150 pre-fixe 5-course meal, it felt like decent value, but when considering both taste and overall value, I still lean towards JUA. Scallop 4.75/5: Cooked to perfection with beautifully balanced flavors. Trout 4.25/5: Very refreshing and delicious. Lobster Ramen 4.5/5: A delightful cold ramen with chili sesame oil, and the lobster was nice and meaty. Jook 4.5/5: The black cod paired really well with the jook; the flavors were just right. Dry Aged Duck 3.5/5: This was a bit disappointing, not as tender as I would have liked. Seabass 4/5: The clams were very meaty, but the sauce was a tad on the saltier side. Shaved Ice 5/5: The tapioca was a perfect match for the brown sugar shaved ice. Doughnut 5/5: Loved, loved, loved the mochi doughnut with the ice cream! Couldn't get enough of this! read more

Visited for my anniversary. The food was all very good and well executed, but nothing felt too unique or groundbreaking. Service was good, but I was honestly expecting a little bit more from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The interior is very clean and nicely spaced out, so you're never fighting for room. A really interesting detail is how many bathrooms they have, and I especially liked the prototype-style drawings of all their dishes posted inside them. Overall a solid experience, but I feel like there are better $150 tasting menus elsewhere. read more

Oiji Mi is a Michelin star restaurant that serves Korean fusion cuisine. I have been to numerous Michelin stars restaurant that were 2 to 4 times the cost and Oiji Mi has definitely been my favorite. The $150pp 5 courses prix fixe meal is a bargain considering the creative, quality and taste of all their dishes. Service was befitting their Michelin star and the ambiance was nice. The meal start off with a first course of three appetizers (see pictures) that was a great start. Then you pick from their offerings for the next 4 courses. Since I went with my wife, we picked different items from each course and got to try different dishes. We enjoyed every dish and love the taste and inventiveness of each dish. We will be back here the next time we visit New York. read more

I've been meaning to try Oiji Mi pre Michelin star award but never got round to it, but finally managed to! It was pretty easy and flexible to book on opentable and lots of early evening spots. I thought the layout of the restaurant was really interesting, with a bar / lounge facing the street and the main dining hall behind it. It was a relatively casual ambience for a one Michelin star which I appreciated. We got the prix fixe menu for $150 with the supplement of $35 for the Oiji bowl. Everything was excellent, well seasoned and thought out. We liked all the dishes, but the reason for the 4 Star was that nothing rlly stood out and the price was on the higher side for a one Michelin star restaurant. I did really enjoy the cold lobster ramyun however and their desserts were on point. I probably won't come back anytime soon unless they change their prix fixe menu! That being said it was definitely worth the try. read more

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Oiji Mi offers a refined Korean fine dining experience with thoughtful service and a sleek, elegant ambiance. I especially loved the Oiji Bowl--a beautifully balanced dish with creamy sea urchin, briny ikura, and perfectly seasoned seaweed rice. The Lobster Noodle was another standout, rich and savory with generous pieces of lobster and a depth of flavor. For the second course the scallop was creamy and fresh, and the fluke was delicate and clean-tasting--solid dishes overall. For the main course I tried the galbi, which was hearty and satisfying, though it didn't quite steal the show. First course appetizers were just okay in comparison to the mains. But the desserts--wow. The black sugar bingsu was a perfect ending: refreshing, not too sweet, with chewy tapioca and brown sugar notes. Really liked the milk tea flavor of the bingsu. And the mochi donut with ice cream, easily one of the best I've had. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and perfectly matched with the cold ice cream. read more
