    I will start off by saying that I am not a fan of Korean food... primarily, I absolutely despise kimchi. This was another office sponsored lunch and this place was recommended by one of my work pals who had gotten food from them. I went with a large custom bowl. I chose white rice, 2X spicy pork (on 2 of my work buds recommendation.... "It's GOOD" they said) and bulgogi + fixings which I can't remember. My main dislike was the kimchi flavor in the spicy pork followed by bits of rice that seemed undercooked (hard). My bowl's ingredients did not jive well together. I was not aware that the "spicy" on the pork would come from kimchi and my work friends said I just chose the wrong ingredients. Be that as it may, I still hated my bowl. Now, why am I giving them a 3 star rating...? 4 out of the 8 or 9 of us who ordered (and I spoke to; I don't know what the other 4-5 guys thought of their meal) said that their bowl/food was between good and great. I am not gonna write this place off our lunch rotation yet. One of the guys ordered japchae + shrimp and that looked and smelled pretty good. Would give it another shot.

    I stopped here for lunch and it was pretty good. I got the soy sauce fried chicken and some steamed pork dumplings. The chicken was tasty in the sauce it came with. It was a descent amount too. The dumplings were also very good. Soft flavorful and fresh. They have bowls aswell that I would like to try next. The service was fast and friendly and my food came quickly. Definitely coming back for more.

    Wow, this was so good!!!! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this and will definitely be back. I made my own bowl and I am normally quite indecisive but the staff was very patient with me. They let me try multiple sauces and ask many questions before I ordered. I created my own bowl with a mix of greens and rice. For my protein, I had both pork and scallops which were both delicious and complimented each other very well. There was a very good serving of protein in the bowl. The scallops were tiny in size but there were so many that I had one in almost every bite! For toppings, you can pick as many as you want which I basically did. I had the cucumbers, spicy peppers, cabbage slaw, kimchi cabbage, scallions, shallots, and seaweed. For my dressing, I got the kimchi aioli which the guy said was very popular and it reminded me of a spicy mayo. I paired it with the soy garlic and got them both on the side so I could play around with the flavors since it was my first time I also tried the sweet and spicy which was also tasty and reminded me of a sweet bbq type sauce. My bowl was exploding with flavor and I enjoyed every bite. I am so pleased with my experience and can't wait to come back!

    Food was fresh and good portion. Overall the sauces are salty and probably not the healthiest. I liked the tofu. Pick up was super easy.

    I visited this location and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. The location is clean, and decor is simple. The staff were super friendly and helpful in selection process. Back to the food, it was really good for a lunch spot. I had the crispy soy garlic chicken and this thing was packed with flavor. The chicken was the right texture. The rice and corn mixed with pickled onions and cabbage packed so much punch. I will be back

    My favorite custom bowls

    Honestly this is my favorite Korean brunch spot in midtown. Don't let the lines scare you during lunch time.m, they go by really fast. Service is always great and friendly. Ambiance, they have a few tables to sit in and they offer outlets too. They offer lemon & lime water and their condiments are always full. I would always get their custom bowls because of the different variety. My favorite one has to be their garlic shrimp and avocado. Everything is super fresh and they even have white kimchi which I was surprised about. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood!

    If you are looking for a Korean version of Chipotle (with more options and even better quality), look no further than ONGI. This is one of my favorite quick service chains in the US; not only do they have great tasting food and TONS of customization options but they take allergies/intolerances seriously too. I always get my bowls to go, but you can eat them here too; they have a small eating area. Service is always super quick, and if you do have any ingredients you are concerned about, the staff is all knowledgeable. Prices are fairly reasonable for NYC. All in all, one of my favorite quick service spots in NYC!

    I had the pleasure of trying ONGI for the first time and the kimichi aioli chicken is fantastic. I'm definitely looking forward to trying other options on the menu.

    For a $20 bowl, there was a tiny protein portion (maybe 1-2 bites worth). Flavor was decent but everything was drowned in spicy mayo. Pretty disappointing meal

    Perfect place for a well priced and quick lunch in the city Reasonably priced for New York City - A 24 oz bowl is about $14 with tax You can customize a bowl or select a pre made bowl You get unlimited toppings on your bowl Recommend

    Frank M.

    Had for dinner - wasn't impressed. Service is good & an innovative menu system where you mark your choices with dry erase & hand it over! But the meal itself - didn't feel very tasty, like it was good enough but didn't leave me happy when done. Could have had more beef/veggies and less rice.

    Andrielle G.

    one of my favorite spots in the city to grab a healthy, quick lunch or dinner with pescatarian options that aren't bland or overpriced! my favorite base is japchae topped with salmon & shrimp, let me just say it hits EVERYTIME. the sweet & spicy chicken bites are also delish, as well as the bao buns! you really can't miss with their custom korean lunch bowls of fabulous food! around lunch time it's packed, so order ahead if you're in a rush.

    If you're craving Korean food , fast casual style, Ongi is the place to visit! The food is fresh, filling, and feels healthy as it its a good mix of protein and veggies without a ton of oil or fried options. This time, I tried a combo of the bulgogi and the spicy pork. Both meats were tender, well cooked, and flavorful! I enjoyed the assortment of toppings as well, and discovered that I prefer regular kimchi to the white kimchi. Service was quick and efficient thanks to the white board cards used to order, and the seating area was clean and cutely decorated for the holiday season! Overall, a good spot! It is a bit more expensive than its similar large chain counterparts like chipotle or cava.

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

The first thing I noticed was the plates. I actually looked them up hoping to buy them but they're custom made for the restaurant and feature their own logo. Sad!! The banchan was excellent, especially the kimchi. It was very fresh and was one of the highlights of the meal. What I liked most about the food overall was how clean everything tasted. Nothing felt greasy, heavy or too salty. The flavors were balanced and very comforting. We ordered the pork bossam, kimchi pancake, and chicken kalguksu. The pork was tender and had a clean flavor that really let the quality of the meat come out. The kimchi pancake was topped with a poached egg which was interesting.... Personally, the poached egg addition wasn't really for me, but my friend loved it. The pancake itself was crispy flavorful. The chicken kalguksu was exactly what I want when I'm craving comforting and warm food at 11 PM after watching a musical. The broth was light but flavorful, and the noodles had a good chew. It felt homemade!! The ambience was very very cozy and nice. The interior is warm and cozy and intimate, it's great for a night with friends, or even a date night!! I love any spot with soft lighting. Even late at night, the restaurant felt relaxed and inviting. Service was also great. The food came out quickly, and every staff member that came to our table was very friendly.

Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

We walked into a stylish but relaxed space that feels suited for both casual dinners and a night out with friends, with an atmosphere that balances energy and comfort well. The room gets lively when it fills up, but the noise level adds to the experience rather than detracting from it, making it feel like a place built for sharing and conversation. The food is where Hojokban stands out. The complimentary banchan sets the tone for the meal with flavorful sides that add variety before the main dishes arrive, each one thoughtfully prepared and offering a different texture or flavor profile. The gomtang soup is one of the more comforting options, bringing together tender meat, a rich broth, and classic Korean flavors in a way that feels hearty without being overly heavy. The galbi dishes are also a highlight, with the meat cooked well and carrying the sweet and savory balance that makes Korean-style grilled beef so enjoyable. The portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. The menu has several unique dishes worth exploring. The truffle potato pancake is one of the more memorable items, combining a familiar Korean staple with a richer, modern twist that adds depth without losing the essence of the original. The perilla oil noodles are another standout, offering a lighter but still flavorful option with a distinct nutty aroma that lingers on the palate. The beef tartare adds a more refined element to the meal, fresh and well seasoned, while dishes like the ramyun fried rice bring a fun comfort food element with bold, savory flavors. Together, the menu covers enough ground that you can build a meal around both familiar favorites and more creative choices. Service is friendly and the overall experience feels welcoming rather than overly formal. The staff are attentive without hovering, and they handle the busy flow of the restaurant with a pace that keeps the meal moving without feeling rushed. The menu is designed for sharing, and the portions make it easy to order several dishes across the table, allowing you to try more of what the kitchen has to offer. The lively atmosphere adds to the meal, making it a good fit for group dinners where the energy of the room matches the pace of the food. Hojokban does a good job blending traditional Korean flavors with a more modern dining experience. It is a place where you can come for familiar comfort food while still finding dishes that feel creative and different. If you enjoy Korean cuisine and want a restaurant with a little more personality, this is a spot worth checking out. It delivers a meal that feels both familiar and fresh, striking a balance that makes it easy to return to and explore more of the menu.

And the entrees were delicious and even with other tables almost on top of each other it never felt crowded due to partitions that I saw them remove for some larger groups needing tables "together", and I never felt part of someone else's dinner convo. Presentation was amazing and food was delicious - Soon Tofu Soup with seafood for me, which arrived bubbling like a cauldron. It came with a raw egg that you crack into the soup and let it cook to your level of doneness. Hubs got hot stone bibimbap and as we all know the crispy rice is the best part of it... it's just tough to separate it from the actual stone dish so you can eat it, especially if you wait until it cools and fuses. If I was there with more stomach space I wanted to try the galbi, and in fact there's a weekday lunch combo that could facilitate that.

The Ssambap Set was incredibly satisfying. The beef was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the fresh lettuce wraps, rice, banchan, and soup. Every bite was well-balanced and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Mixed Katsu Set, which was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and cooked to perfection. It came with generous portions and made for a comforting, filling meal. The restaurant has a modern and welcoming atmosphere, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything arrived fresh and beautifully presented. If you're looking for a delicious Korean lunch in NYC's Koreatown, Jeong Yuk Jeom is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back to try more of their menu!

    Have you ever had a meal and you never wanted it to end? That was me for this meal. I would come…read moreback here in a heart beat and when I do, I can't wait to try the other items on the menu!!! Galbi-jjim and mushroom sotbap is literally a match made in heaven. The galbi-jjim was perfectly tender like I could literally pull it apart with my chopstick. The addition of the rice cake, pumpkin, and pyogo mushroom were a nice touch. The soy sauce base was a little sweet and if you take a bit and pour it over the mushroom sotbap, it is soooooooo good!!!!!!! The mushroom sotbap is so umami. There is foie gras in it which maybe be in a little overpowering for some people but I really enjoyed it I could easily eat a whole bowl of their freshly made kimchi. It was perfect. Not too salty or spicy or fermented. Literally perfect!!! I actually asked for seconds. The cold cucumber broth was really refreshing Highly, highly recommend making a resy!! Deff a classy establishment

    I came here for my birthday celebration recently and had a good time! The interior of Moono is…read morestunning and spacious as it was once an old cathedral. There's a main dining room and a mezzanine. I sat at the mezz and got an amazing view of the main dining room. Service here is amazing. The only thing that I thought was a bit of a shame is that there's a $10 cake cutting service PER PERSON, if you wanted to celebrate a birthday. We got their fried chicken, beef tartare, 2 galbi jjim, and their bossam. Everything was phenomenal. While I think we could've skipped the chicken, the galbi jjim is a must-try. Cocktails are also great here. Amazing dining experience, food, ambiance, service, and I highly recommend.
