Kimchi Paella
Katie G.

Wow--I cannot wait to come back. The staff were so incredible and friendly! The drinks we ordered were obviously very aesthetic, but were even more delicious. Every plate that came was more delicious than the last. It is very cozy so I'd recommend for dates or small groups! It seemed like it would be difficult to have a large group there. Cannot recommend enough!

Asparagus
Monique G.

Excellent and friendly service. Cute ambiance and concept. This is the perfect date spot, the quality for the price is fair in my opinion. The flavors and execution of the food is impeccable. The asparagus is so delicious, I could drink the sauce it's served with. The steak was perfectly cooked and again the sauce was finger licking good. I will definitely back, this is now my favorite spot on the LES and I'm very curious about the dessert menu.

Edamame Dumpling
Erin B.

Delicious food - edamame dumplings are my favorite !!! The steak is delicious as well. Drinks are always tasty and fun. Highly recommend !

Came here on a Thursday night with no reservation around 8:30pm. There was a small gathering of people waiting outside but overall, we waited less than 20 minutes. For 2 people, we shared - Tuna tartare tacos. Small but mighty. Good flavor and fish. - Soft Shell Crab Katsu. Crispy. Not too much batter in the batter-to-crab ratio. - Steak. Very very good and flavorful. That side salad/lettuce was delicious as well. - Truffle Mac & Cheese. OF course, very very very good and creamy. Good drinks (the light inside is so cool!) in a style my partner called "adult capri suns." I didn't know what to order but I asked for what the women at the table next to us had. Lots of fruit flavors. Dark, moody, romantic lighting. Lots of college students--clientele seemed to skew younger. Good service. Dishes came out one at a time.

Gnocchi
Melissa A.

Had a good experience at Thursday Kitchen recently! They have a modestly sized menu and encourage family-style sharing plates. The food was quite unique with solid flavors. We tried the edamame dumpling, kimchi paella, gnocchi, and steak (which was plenty for 2 people). My favorite was the paella. I found the gnocchi a little watery but the flavors were great. The spot is walk-in only, with a cool speakeasy-esque vibe. While we didn't partake, the Capri Sun cocktail spoof was an innovative, insta-worthy menu feature. This is a great option for a casual dinner when you don't have a reservation!

Chilaquiles

Group of 6 dined in. Service was great. We ordered one of everything to share (two of a couple of the smaller dishes). Standout dishes: the steak, lucky noodle, edamame dumpling, plantain and popcorn chicken. Cozy and intimate space but try to get a table away from the door as it got a bit chilly.

Kimchi Paella

The ambiance was pretty much a Korean pub, selling anju (small eats) and drinks. The inside is pretty dark and cramped but it was very lively. The plates came out pretty small but my group and I had an ok time. Truffle Mac and cheese: 6/10 it was slightly more watery than other Mac n cheeses I've had but the truffle flavor was strong Kimchi paella: 4/10 not too flavorful, so we used it as filler food Steak: 9/10 probably the greatest thing we had this whole meal. It was slightly sweet and the mash potatoes paired well with it. Ordered another two servings since it was pretty small though, one person could finish two of these

Kimchi paella

I think the vibe is nice it's not super noisy so we can chat and still hear each other. Staff were very friendly. They don't seat you until the whole party is there which is fine. They have a small menu so options are limited. We ordered the strawberry drink, truffle Mac and cheese, kimchi paella, and Korean fried chicken. Out of everything I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese it was sooooo creamy and sooooo cheesey. I can eat that every day. But that was it. I thought the strawberry drink was too sweet. Paella is lacking in flavor and the chicken was too dry and hard, unfortunately. But if you go 100000% get the Mac and cheese

Edamame Dumpling
Forest C.

This place for me is hard to rate. I like the food yet it does not really make me feel like I should recommend this place to my close friends. The kimchi paella was too wet, and the umami flavor is lacking. However the shrimp was cooked very well and seasoned really well. Kimchi has a lot of water and I think they didn't recognize the water of the kimchi so the seasoning was diluted and it couldn't get a good char like normally paellas do. The edamame dumplings were surprising better than I thought but the use of truffle oil, Parmesan and lemon together kinda brought the pungentness too much. The truffle Mac was really good, I really like the char it gave it more flavor. It was also too soupy tho. I wish it was just a bit less soupy. My favorite was the steak tho. The flavor on the steak was insane. The kayle was really good but just a tad bit salty for me. The grits though was probably the best grits I've ever had. Even if it's not authentic for some people but I really liked it, the cheese was the right amount to give the umami instead of pungentness. I just really wish the steak could get a better sear and it will literally be some of the best steak I have. Overall the vibe of the place was really nice but the music is just a little bit too loud. I was constantly shouting like I was in a club or a rave, which if that's the vibe you like then go for it. Overall decent and if you wanna try something new in the area, it is definitely not bad.

Ugly potato
Ashley M.

Didn't take enough pictures here because we were too busy enjoying the food! Our group of 8 ordered 10 of the small dishes which ended up being a good mix for us. We loved trying all the fun combinations - the truffle mac n cheese (very strong truffle!) and soft shell crab were highlights for us!

Truffle Mac & Cheese
Huy T.

They have the best mac and cheese I've ever had, no exaggeration. TL;DR - mac & cheese, never had better. Steak on the rarer side, its accompaniments are yummy. Dip the steak into the mac. Wait is long to get seated & once you're seated - well worth it though if you get seated. I had it for the first time 3 years ago and thought about it weekly since. Got to try it again (2025) and have confirmed it's the best!! The macaroni is a perfect chewy al dente, and there's 4 cheeses that are mixed and gooey with a perfect non-overwhelming flavor. Last time we got the popcorn chicken which wasn't anything special to us, and this time got the steak which I enjoyed. It's on the rarer side and you don't get to pick. The sauce that comes with the vegetables was delicious, a sweet & spicy Korean flavor. And the grits went very well with it. My favorite part was dipping the steak into the mac and cheese The vibes in there are dark yet lively. Reminds me of a pub almost. Service is friendly and attentive - all orders are cooked fresh so the wait can be long, we waited 30 min for our 2 dishes. Important to note, they don't do reservations so you likely have to wait to get seated. The area is fun though so put your name down and walk around :)

Kimchi Paella
Emily W.

No wait for 2 on a Tuesday around 8:30pm. Dimly lit ambiance, loved the vibes. We shared the edamame dumplings, asparagus, kimchi paella, truffle mac & cheese, and the ugly potato. My favorite was the edamame dumplings for sure! They were so creamy and flavorful and each bite was full of the delicious filling. Asparagus was my next favorite - full of flavor and loved the bread crumbs (?) on top which added texture. Kimchi paella and truffle mac & cheese were tied for me. Both were pretty good but not particularly mindblowing. Ugly potato was probably my least favorite, they were pretty soggy and didn't go that well with the feta cheese in my opinion. Needed more of a balanced flavor overall. Drinks were pretty good and came in a light-up bag.

Tana Tartar Tacos
Christian A.

We couldn't get in the first time we went, but glad we went back a few weeks later. The vibe inside is super casual but the lighting a décor elevates it dramatically. You definitely need to order a few dishes so bring friends, but there are plenty of options for vegetarians (try the truffle mac and the edamame dumplings--you're welcome). The ugly potatoes were just fine but that's more of a testament to the other dishes being so good. Overall it didn't take long to get our orders, my only watch out is that there aren't any cocktail options. There's an adult juice pouch situation, but I passed on it--I have an aversion to glow cubes.

For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

The super thin pasta was tender. - Chrysanthemum salad - How have I never known that chrysanthemum salad could be so delicious? Someone else described the dressed as "bright" and I cannot think of a better way to describe the fresh taste. - Stuffed garlic flatbread - Reminiscent of artichoke dip baked in bread; good, but our least favorite item. - BBQ calamari - tender and flavorful For our main courses: - Sorpresine & Smoked Mussels - So much flavor on this "surprise" pasta. The combination of flavors was slightly unexpected, but everything worked beautifully together. The mussels were tender and added the perfect amount of smokiness to this dish. - Garganelli Giganti - The sauce and meatballs were perfection. I am very picky with sauce and this was really tasty. - Chicken Scarpariello - Veal "da Pepi" - This was the star (for me at least).

The rum mixed with min and cantaloupe very just as refreshing as I had hoped it to be. I wanted to try Nonna's nip, but I wanted to make sure I had enough room for all the food. My husband, parents, and I came in for lunch on a Sunday. This restaurant is tiny and it was packed, but service was excellent. I don't love the Open Table reservation situation, but that is about the only negative thing I have to say about our experience with Don Angie. San Sabino (their sister restaurant) is up next on our list!

Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two.
