Olle is def one of the better korean spots around and has a nice upscale feel too, with delishhhh food. The menu is rlly similar (i wonder if its the same ownership?) to one of my goto restaurants in fort lee called pyeong an dong, and it's just as delish! I loved the bibim naengmyun and the chueotang. The banchan is rlly delicious as well. read more

Olle - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

The ambiance, service, & food here truly blew me away. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, or for a group of friends looking to catch up over delicious food. We got the galbi jjim (& bokkeumbab) - this was SO tasty, tender & flavorful. My friend suggested pairing the galbi jjim with bibim naengmyeon & that truly blew my mind! The cold noodles were refreshing, sweet, and contrasted the short rib in the best way. The gamja tang was rich without being heavy, and the perilla leaves soaked up all the soup - the perfect pairing for rice. Janchi Gooksoo was so comforting & felt like a warm hug in a bowl of noodles. The banchan was insanely good - every one hit, especially the pancake. Better yet - free refills!! Absolutely coming back as soon as I can. read more

We had dinner here for early Mother's Day dinner while visiting NYC with my sisters. The 5 of us all ordered the galbi in stone pot with mini nangmyeun. This was the perfect portion for 1 serving. It was delicious. The side dishes, chestnut makgali and the cocktail I ordered were also very good. Lastly, the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place, being a Korean. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended from a friend, and it did not disappoint. The place was busy, but it had a great vibe, and the seats gave you a sense of privacy. The staff was efficient--nothing stood out. The food was amazing--flavorful, fresh, and perfectly portioned. I honestly couldn't tell you which dish was my favorite; they were all so good! The cold noodles were bright and refreshing. Eating the potatoes and radishes from the stew felt like a warm hug. The texture of the braised beef was immaculate. And, of course, the banchan was appreciated too! read more

Delicious! This is my boyfriend's favorite restaurant in NYC and I finally got around to trying it. I was impressed by everything, Olle is not super expensive but all of the dishes are so well done/well made. It feels upscale but not pretentious. The cold noodles are definitely a standout and I always enjoy the ban chan a lot (unlimited refills). Service is good and fast as well. Highly recommend for a solid Korean place in the city. read more

Enjoyed the galbi jjim, ban-chan, and the bibim naengmyun which kicked my spicy food craving for the day. Service was great and nice ambiance inside. My only critique is the price point, could definitely be reasonably cheaper but galbi jjim tends to be quite pricey around here. read more

I'm having trouble brain dumping a review, so I'm gonna attempt to say this how cavemen would understand. Food good. Place very pretty. Decor whispers of understated opulence, and exudes a refined elegance that feels naturally exquisite, the kind of place one would choose to impress with a touch of sophistication. Hospitality good. A last minute spot was surprisingly easy to secure on a Saturday night, as the staff enthusiastically accommodated us to the larger back table that was both private and festively adorned. An amazing turn of events for an impromptu birthday celebration. read more

Tried the galbi jjim and cold noodle soup--both are top-recommended items. They were refreshing, but I was hoping for a bit more punch; I've had stronger Korean flavors elsewhere in the city. Service was sweet and patient, and they were happy to give us recommendations. read more

With their naengmyeon noodles made in house I had to come here to try it. Had this dish for the first time when I visited S. Korea, and Olle didn't disappoint. They are known for their galbi-jjim and naengmyeon. The beef in the galbi-jjim was very tender and the sauce had the right amount of sweetness. The dish is kept over a fire at the table which was nice but simmering the meat for too long kind of dried it out. The bibim-naengmyeon was not too spicy and was very enjoyable. The difficult part was switching back and forth from a cold to hot dish. Banchan was great, waiters were attentive, and food arrived timely. They served complimentary barley tea. Perfect place to come during the summer for some cold noodles. read more

It's hot and muggy in New York, so it's time for some naengmyeon! I had dinner with a friend the other day- we made sure to make a reservation via Resy beforehand- they have a second floor with more seating but better safe than sorry (and it did fill up afterwards). Scan the QR code for the menu- I was craving naengmyeon so decided on the Bibim Naengmyeon (which is the spicy option- they also have a none spicy option). I strongly considered the mini galbi Jjim and mini naengmyeon combo (I love that they offer this) but will try the galbi jjim another time... it looked really delicious though! The Bibim naengmyeon was definitely spicy but was so refreshing with the slices of radish, cucumber and Korean pear. Because of the pear, there was definitely a fruitiness to the flavor. It was the perfect dish for a humid day. My friend ordered this fish (pomfret) that was braised in a spicy sauce- she really enjoyed it and it looked really hearty. She had plenty of leftovers, so portion wise it was really big. The side dishes were really tasty too- all parts of our meal were really tasty and service was great as well. read more

Reservations available, book online. I was craving Galbi Tang and looked up multiple places but could not find any decent place until I stumbled upon Olle. There were no reservations available for 4pm on a Sunday. Gave a call in and no one picked up. I decided to stop by as a walk in and the restaurant was not busy at all. We got sat down right away. Menus available as QR scan code. Definitely on the pricer end for Korean food. Overall, everything we got was pretty good but not mind-blowing amazing. read more

we made a friday dinner reservation and found that the restaurant was filled, so would recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait. we ordered the large galbi jjim with fried rice and it came with a variety of refillable banchan. to be honest, although the galbi jjim was tender and flavorful, i don't think it was worth the $80 especially since it was dry for my taste. however i was a huge fan of the seafood pancake and asked for it to be refilled twice. when we were almost done with the galbi jjim, they brought out the rice to cook with the leftover sauce in the bowl and it was delicious. the galbi jjim and rice was the perfect amount for two people along with the banchan. read more

This place is known for their galbi jjim (braised marinated short rib) and their eel, but most of the dishes they make are really good and comforting. Their side dishes are also top quality and the servers are so hospitable and refill your side dishes even before you ask, which is unheard of in NYC. Definitely a place I will continue to go back to, and last night was my 4th time already! read more

Olle - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I'm confused... something is amiss here. Service - My friend and I came in a few minutes before our reservation time and were promptly seated in the upstairs dining area. We had just put our bags down, when a server comes over and says "ok, do you know what to order yet?" We politely said we need more time, and I was about to ask for a menu (no one gave us the run down or anything yet, as we had just sat down), and she just pointed to the QR code on the paper tablemat and walked away. I was close to asking for a physical menu but figured it wasn't worth the time. - After we ordered our food, it took over 30 minutes for the first dish to come out (the mini galbi). I had to ask for an update on the food at the 30 minute mark. The banchan was served after that first dish. I thought banchan would have come out much earlier(?) 10 minutes later, the mini cold noodles came out. Then 20 minutes after that the next dish came out... really strange timing. It didn't help that the table next to us who was seated after us got their food like 20 minutes before our first dish. - Only good thing about the service was a different server who gave us a refill on the banchan. Food - We ordered the Jaeyook Bokkeum (Spicy pork belly stir fry topped with scallion) and the Galbi Set (Mini Galbi Jjim with mini Bibim Naengmyeon). The Galbi set that has the smaller portions of 2 dishes is $37 vs. the Small galbi dish for $70 (large is $80). In this economy, I didn't feel like ordering the $70 dish... and thank goodness I didn't. My friend and I agreed that it. was. not. good. It was not fall-off-the-bone texture, and despite sitting in the pot-over-the-tiny-fire, the dish was not warm at any point during the meal (it was lukewarm when it got there, it was just as lukewarm 10 minutes later). - OMG and now for the Jaeyook Bokkeum. Same issue where it was never warm (despite also sitting over a fire for the entire meal). The pork belly was TOO fatty. Too chewy that I couldn't bite through it. - The spicy cold noodles was the best dish we had at the table, - actually scratch that - the banchan was the best food we had at the table. The scallion pancake was good as well, but not even the best I've had. If you can expense dinner with your company or something, sure, feel free to ball out and try the pricier dishes. I wonder if then you'll have a better experience than I did. Otherwise this place is overpriced and far from being one of the better Korean restaurants in this neighborhood, let alone NYC. read more

I always come here for the naengmyun as their broth is very flavorful and rich. One of the best places to grab naengmyun on a hot day. However in the last 3 month since I've visited here, the broth flavor seems to have changed a bit as it is more "vinegary". While it still tasted good I think they could ease up on the vinegar and let those who prefer more to add more as you can't undo this. read more

[Food] - Sullongtang ($25.95): Beef short rib soup in beef bone was really flavorful and authentic. I love that we add our own salt level since most people I share it with have different salt preferences. Definitely one of my favorites when it comes to comfort soups after drinking. - Mool NaengMyeong ($19.95): Cold handmade noodle soup in beef dongchimi broth with lightly pickled radish & cucumber, Korean pear and boiled egg. Yummy! Love the refreshing light soup! Noodles were cooked to al dente which was perfect for this broth as some I've been to are a bit overly too soft. - Chungpo Muk ($15.95): Mung bean jelly with shitake mushrooms, thinly sliced beef and mung bean sprouts. This dish was ok. Sounds just as it's described. I have to say I'm not too big of a fan of the mung bean jelly. Other than that, the dish was good but would like a bit more flavor as it was a tad bland. - Ban Chan: Really enjoyed these and got refills on most of them! My favorite are the fish cake and green onion pancake. [Service] - Fast, friendly, attentive [Ambiance] - Dimmed, casual, moderately sized restaurant [Overall] - Would definitely come back again! Service and food were both great and I'd want to try other dishes as well. read more

This place seems to be always packed and for good reasons (food's amazing). We had a reservation that my friend booked about a week ahead, which seems required. We got their Galbi Jjim (large for $80) which was plenty for the three of us due to the various add ons your can do for extra. The Galbi Jjim itself is a braised beef short ribs with oyster mushrooms, jalapeño peppers, and jujube. They cook the short ribs to perfection and cut it up all in front of you. If you want to do the fried rice add on, don't finish the short ribs, as amazing as it tastes, as it's needed to make the fried rice. The fried rice add on is Bokkeumbab (+$10) and they take the short ribs that is left over and make it into a fried rice dish. More carbs to really fill you up, but delicious, especially with that short ribs. We also did the Hooshik Naegmyeon Bibim add on (+$10), which is a spicy cold noodle dish. Loved the flavoring and the noodles had a good texture to them. After it was all said and done, the bill was $100, but split between three people is not bad at all. You get essentially three different dishes, which all tasted phenomenal and was super filling. I see why this place is always packed and would not hesitate to come back if someone suggested this spot for dinner. read more

Admittedly, this was not our first choice but the two places we tried prior had a super long wait so we stumbled into here and were lucky enough to grab bar seats. The menu is fascinating, as there is a mix of very fairly priced options that seemed normal and then all of the sudden the prices for dishes jumps astronomically to the 60+ range for reasons that escape me-especially some of the meat options. We started with the shiregi galbi, which is a short rib stew with soy-bean paste and perilla seed. This was quite nice and a hearty portion. It came with rice so we got the brown/purple rice, which added nice texture to the stew. The meat was ever-so much on the tougher side but not in a distracting way. I do recommend adding a bit of the ground pepper they offer, though. While eating this, we gorged on some of the banchan. My favorites were the fish cake and scallion pancake. Shockingly, though, this may be the first time I've had kimchi where I actually went back for more (my own bias, admittedly)-which says a lot about the kimchi. And they don't shy away from refilling the banchan, which I appreciate. We got the unyang bulgogi. This I felt like was a nice texture and was also a sizable portion-worth the $16. Finally, we got the galbi-naengymeon. The cold noodles were especially delicious and not overly spicy. I do believe they gave us the meal portion size, though, accidentally as they seemed to not realize we had ordered the combo which worked in our favor. The meat over the open flame I felt was delicious. You do have to dig a bit for the sauce but with the peppers and onions, this was overall a delicious dish. I didn't care so much for the barley tea that comes standard so grabbed some tap water, which they were happy to provide. Service was efficient and helpful. The ambience was pretty hip and even at the bar area felt like a cool place to be. Ultimately, while we knew nothing of this place before entering, a great option to satisfy our craving for Korean cuisine in the area. read more

This is probably some of the best non-kbbq Korean food I've had in Manhattan in a while. We ordered 2 dishes to share and they were both fantastic. - Galbi jjim (small size): 10/10 (solid galbi jjim. Loved the slightly spicy and sweet sauce, the meat was very tender, and I liked how they kept the dish hot with the fire.) - Chueotang: 10/10 (it's really hard to get chueotang well because it can often be too fishy or slimy. The chueotang here was very good) Ambiance is casual and service was great. The only con was that it did get super loud, but that's pros only only because this place was packed even on a weekday! read more

Very contemporary, modern interior with an unmatching 2000s K-pop playlist in the background. Service was quick but our server disappeared and we later found out that he had taken off for the day without letting his tables know. Ordered a gamja tang and it was a good portion size for two people. The meat was tender but the soup tasted like tteokbokki, which threw us off. The pot looked pretty deep but it actually wasn't and we needed more broth. 5 stars for the side dishes though. All the side dishes were very simple but tasty and I finished everything by myself except for kimchi, which I never eat outside. read more

Really enjoyed olle! I heard good things and it pretty much lived up to it. We came here on a Friday and had a reservation. We got the galbi Jim starter for two, the mini mool naegmyeon, and the sooyook for a party of 3. The portion size is definitely on the smaller side and I didn't leave feeling full at all. All the food was pretty solid but the galbi Jim doesn't hold a candle to other places I've had in California. For the value I'm not sure if I would be running back here but it was good and I would recommend trying it at least once. read more

Pros: -Great variety of Bonchon dishes with refills -Comfortable, pleasant ambience -Easy street parking after 6pm on weekdays -Clean restrooms Cons: -No hot water -- seriously? I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't have access to hot water. The server offered the tea that was already on the table (which wasn't even hot), but I didn't want tea -- just plain hot water. When I asked again, I was told the kitchen "does not have hot water," which honestly sounds unbelievable. Hold on... How are we brewing tea then? Witchcraft? Solar power? Because last I checked, tea requires hot water. And proper tea should be brewed with boiling or near-boiling water, so the explanation just didn't make sense. -Portions are small and prices are high. I don't mind paying more but at this price point, I expect attentive and elevated service. Instead, it felt like our server just wanted to clock out and go home. And yet -- boom -- still 20% tip. My generosity was greater than server's enthusiasm. read more

The galbi + naengmyeon dish blew my mind! I highly recommend this dish - the meat was sweet and sour, and extremely tender. It comes in a small stone dish, so it stays hot, and you can pair it with cold noodles. The noodles are refreshing, and the galbi is just delicious. The galbi tang was also very good, paired with glass noodles. They have numerous other soup-based entrees that I trust are also of the same high quality. Their banchan are all very tasty, with my favorite being the pajeon. The staff are all friendly, and service is quite fast. The restaurant feels very classy and upscale. Olle is pricey, but it is worth a try :) read more

Overall yummy. Glad that we came with a large group to try many things, but Korea dishes are so not sharing-friendly. So hard to share all the soupy-based items. Favs - Oyster Soup - meaty, clean and simple tasty. Bibim Cold Noodle - hit the spot. Mool Cold Noodle - enjoy the flavor overall and the pickled kick, could be little colder. Gamja Tang - perilla seed overload. Pretty good the potato could be cooked for longer to melt in the soup more. Braised Beltfish - tender, tasty, spicy. Just lots of bones. Okays - Snail Salad - it was good but also can do it without. Galbi Jjim + Fried Rice - for $90 of this combo, it wasn't super tender and honestly not a big portion, not so worth it. The Mehs - Spicy Pork Belly - underwhelming Bossam - I'm just not a Bossam fan read more

Great service - waiters were very attentive and kept refilling banchan. Banchans were good, rarely do Korean restaurants serve pancake as an option.

Nice decor but terrible service, it was either a waiter or the manager giving us attitude for ordering less than what they expected us to and requesting refill on side dishes.

Olle is an upscale Korean establishment that gets packed quick. Wish I could've tried their other offerings but this review is only for the Mool Naengmyeon. My friend and I planned to have Korean cold noodles and thankfully made a reservation for 1pm on a Saturday. The place was packed and there were groups of people waiting to be seated when we arrived. I also should've realized that this place was more upscale because I was underdressed for the occasion. The place is filled with software engineer/corporate types so maybe this is a tech/finance bro haunt that I didn't know about. Service is quick and efficient and we got our banchan pretty quickly. The kimchi and pancake provided are solid and they refilled the pancake once when they saw we finished it. The Naengmyeon followed shortly after. The Naengmyeon broth was very refreshing and the noodles were a great texture. I just wish there was more considering the bowl was almost 20 dollars. For just broth and noodle and half a boiled egg? I get that rent needs to be made, but this felt like a rip off. I'm on the smaller side and I was having the banchan hoping it would make up for the lack of sustenance I felt. So even though this place is known for their good Mool Naengmyeon, it might've been better to come with a few friends to try their other menu items. Because just having their noodles isn't worth it. read more

Amazing dinner at Olle with girlfriends! These Korean fusion restaurants could be sometimes hit or miss but I was not disappointed. We tried a little bit of everything - and all of the dishes were great. The galbijjim was the best though! The muk (acorn jelly) was absolutely addicting. They also refilled our seafood pancake like 6x. So good. Make sure to get the fried rice if you're getting galbijjim! Should not be missed. Great spot for a night out!

Olle is a nice Korean restaurant in the area for some premium Korean food. It is a bit pricey here, but the banchans are pretty solid (they will keep refilling for you!), there is good ambiance (a bit more vibey than others), and all the dishes are very yummy! They are known for the galbi jjim which is a must try! It is pricey but the meat was very tender, they marinated it well, and the pepper there really gave a good kick. The stir fry they make with it after is also a good way to fill up your stomach! I had to take a star off for the initial service we got as they kept telling us we would only need to wait 10 more minutes, even after calling us for our reservation time, but that kept happening and we ended up waiting extra 35 minutes before we got seated. read more

My friend and I got seated next to the cashier. Not the best seats as the waiters/waitresses were walking back and forth with the food/items next to us. Wished we got seated upstairs. We ordered bbim bbim naengmyeon & galbi set, gamjatang and two bowls of purple rice. We found the gamjatang the best. The galbi was not really tender. They give you lots of side dishes. I would honestly say all the dishes were satisfactory. However, was it memorable? Not really. I personally wouldn't come back here because you can get the same Korean dishes with more reasonable prices elsewhere. The ambiance was nice and cozy, but it was kinda loud and busy around us since we sat next to a cashier/worker's station, read more

2.5 stars for a very mediocre spot overall, but bumping down to 2 because of the worst service I can recall having at a restaurant. It's really easy to get a reservation or walk in, which is probably the only plus. Lots of seating with their two-story setup, but nothing fancy in terms of decor. However, the food is average, and the service was straight-up bad. Everything was super disorganized from the beginning- it took a long time to even be acknowledged once entering the restaurant. After our entire party arrived, the hostess told us to go upstairs to be seated, and there was no one there to direct us where to go. The waitstaff was standoffish throughout the meal- not friendly at all. It honestly felt like a major inconvenience that we were dining there. Food was also mediocre- the Naengmyeon was nice and refreshing on a hot day, but I felt like it was okay compared to other ones I've had before. I can also appreciate the Skate Fish starter we had. The fish was nice and tender, and the sauce paired nicely with the fish's flavor. The food wasn't bad, but it doesn't justify the chip that was on some of the staff's shoulders. read more
