I find myself craving their dishes between visits. The restaurant's hygiene complements its pleasant vibe. The customer care is exceptionally good! Superior preparation in all dishes. All elements contributed to a positive experience. read more

when it comes to Korean tapas, I generally get pretty excited due to the fact that I really enjoy variety in my meals but don't necessarily love anyone Korean dish. However, this restaurant doesn't really seem to be super encompassing in exclusively Korean dishes, which really surprised me due to the fact that it advertises itself as a Korean tapas restaurant. Our server recommended our table to order around 2 to 3 dishes per person, due to the small sizes of the dishes, but after ordering about five dishes, my partner and I were rather flabbergasted by the actual tiny, serving sizes that they serve you based on the price. We ordered tuna tacos, which were extremely small , and only yielded three tacos probably as big as your thumb. With each dish averaging around $15 total, I felt like this was a huge rip off. The tuna tacos themselves were really nothing special, I didn't really feel like they were Korean at all, unless there are some go to Chong in the recipe or something like that you would never really be able to necessarily associate this dish with Korean cuisine at all. The tacos themselves were very homogenous, you really couldn't put your finger on what tastes you were chowing down on, and the texture themselves were reminiscent of fish paste. The duck comfy empanadas almost felt a little bit insulting... Then empanadas themselves were pretty dry, and the portions again were extremely small, empanadas were about the size of your thumb, and again for the average cost of around $15 for this plate, it felt really disappointing. The kimchi paella itself had a decent serving size, but it didn't really necessarily taste like paella at all... It was really watery, and had the essence of kimchi fried rice with none of the perks at all. again the prices for this dish were astounding for the lack of effort or uniqueness of the dish itself. It just kind of tasted like watery rice in kimchi juice. I would say the only great thing about this dish was that the shrimp was cooked perfectly, and was delicious. next up is the truffle mac & cheese, which was actually quite delicious. It was the second greatest thing here that if I ever came back, I would order again. It was extremely hearty in cheese, did not lack at all in truffle flavor, and had a decent portion size. if you're lactose intolerant, I would highly recommend a Lactaid, or some sort of supplement to combat the hardiness of the dairy in this dish. If you like mac & cheese, and you like truffles, you'll probably really enjoy this dish. Especially if you love the cheese pull satisfaction, that usually comes with highly cheesy meals. The best this year was definitely the steak. Almost had low expectations for this dish just because it was cheaper on the pricing side compared to a lot of the dishes on the menu. It completely knocked me off my feet due to the fact that it was extremely tender and cooked to perfection. You could taste the beefy flavor, without necessarily getting the meat sweats, which I really appreciate it. The portion is also rather good, just because with meat that rich and heavy in protein, you may get sick of it quite easily. overall, this place has a cozy vibe with a selection of cocktails that brings in people who might enjoy novelty drinks, and want to have some casual bites on the side. However, those who are actually drawn in due to the food options and are learned in via the fact that it's got small Korean eat eat, will probably be pretty disappointed. again, it lacks the relation to Korean food that it brags about having by definition, and brings your hopes up to get excited about the meal, to inevitably let you down. The staff were cool, but it also had that vibe where they wanted you to leave as soon as possible due to the fact that they can get super busy on the weekends or generally later for dinner. I would highly recommend see as in Charlie about a 20 minute walk over for Korean tapas, decent prices, fantastic service, and generally delicious food and amazing atmosphere instead. read more

One of my FAVORITE Asian fusion restaurants in NYC! They do not take reservations so it's important to show up early because it gets packed pretty quickly! Everything is tapa style and the portions are sized perfectly to share. The reason why I keep coming back here is because of 3 things: 1. Steak and Grits- SO GOOD! The Korean-flavored slices of steak pairs perfectly with the cheesy grits. Tried making this dish at home and it wasn't as good! 2. Truffle Mac and Cheese- OK. Who doesn't like TRUFFLE on mac and cheese?!? 3. Adult Capri Suns: All the flavors are delicious! Must-visit in NYC! read more

Thursday Kitchen - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This restaurant was fun, lively, and had a youthful vibe to it. A bit of a tight squeeze though, but that's NYC for you! We started off with the duck confit empanadas, and I loved the dill crème fraiche with it. Without it, the flavor would not have been the same. I loved how the soft shell crab was presented. Not only was it perfectly shaped, but it also had a very strong and flavorful wasabi ramoulade. My favorite dish, of course, was the truffle mac & cheese. I wasn't sure how I felt about broccoli being in the mix, but it actually elevated the dish. A must try if you ever go here. Normally, I do not order drinks, but when I saw the Capri Thursday Lychee Reach Ring, I knew I had to get it to go. They packed it so nicely, and it even had a little light in it! BONUS POINT for it being a bit on the strong side without affecting the fruity flavor. read more

I had chilaquiles, edamame dumplings, and plantain with Sriracha goat cheese. The chilaquiles were more nachos - basically chips tossed in salsa with some pickled toppings. They were pretty standard, similar enough to something you'd find at a Mexican restaurant. The dumplings were phenomenal, with a creamy and savory filling contrasting well with a fresh and tangy sauce. The plantain was sort of unremarkable; the goat cheese tasted very strongly of Sriracha and not much else. Overall, the meal was far too expensive and the choices for vegetarians are far too limited. read more

Fun place to go with friends for korean style tapas and drinks. Plan to share around 2-3 plates per person. Soft shell crab: Tasted good, but the scant amount of sauce it comes with is awkwardly thin and hard to scoop up. Truffle mac and cheese: I love truffle but skip this one if you have high hopes for it. The cheese and roux is super thin (like boxed mix cheese powder) and the macaroni elbows are so small that it barely holds in any sauce. Yes, there is a bit of a cheese pull, but once again, SUPER thin strings. It didn't feel like a real, hearty, chunky mac n cheese. It's not terrible, but it is pretty disappointing :( Edamame dumplings: I liked this one! Reminded me of a cheese/spinach ravioli. Duck empanada: It's alright. Don't expect crispy juicy duck, it's just shredded and the meat itself isn't super flavorful. Korean fried chicken (not pictured): Also decently good but not much better than what I've had in other fried chicken joints. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for literal YEARS!! It was definitely very good. Service and food were great. The only issue was the price tag which was pretty steep considering the portions. Getting into specifics I believe my favorite dish was the lucky noodles. So many different flavors and textures, it was delicious! The edamame dumplings were a pleasant surprise. The contrast of the citrus with truffle was amazing. I'd skip the duck confit empanadas next time. The truffle Mac and cheese was also one of the better dishes. Super creamy without an overwhelming truffle oil taste that usually kills truffle dishes. The gnocchi were reminiscent of tteokbokki with a great kick. The chicken was also good but reminded me of orange chicken, nothing too special. The steak was cooked perfectly and the grits that it came with were also delicious. The bread pudding for dessert was also amazing. Overall, good and service were great but they come with a high price tag if you want to leave full. read more

So glad I was able to try this place during my visit to NY. Being Korean, I was excited to see many of the dishes with a Korean twist to it. They don't accept reservations so be ready to wait a bit for a table. I ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table when I arrived on a Thursday evening around 7:45 pm. I started off with the Golden Punch, which is their non-alcoholic lychee, pineapple, lemon juice, and tonic drink, which comes in their fun lit up Capri-Sun type drink pouch. Flavors of the lychee and pineapple were really good and balanced well. Highly recommend if you're looking for a non-alcoholic drink. I ordered the kimchi paella, duck confit empanada, and the edamame dumpling. Kimchi Paella $15 (5/5)-I wasn't sure what to really expect from the kimchi paella, but was really pleased with the subtle kimchi flavors that were present throughout the dish. It also came with four decent sized shrimp pieces. I really enjoyed this dish and how the kimchi flavors were super overpowering. Duck Confit Empanada $14 (2/5)-This was just okay in my opinion. The meat inside was really dry and I had to drench each bite in the dill creme fraiche since it lacked moisture in the meat and the empanada itself. Edamame Dumplings $12 (4/5)-These were pretty good and the edamame filling was a nice twist on your usual dumplings. The citrus truffle oil was light enough but brightened up the dish. The only downfall was that the dumpling wrappers were a bit on the thicker and chewier side. Overall, I enjoyed most of my meal here although I probably would've ordered something else than the duck confit empanada. I would definitely come back here again when I am back in NYC and try out some of their other dishes. read more

Overall loved eating here. Heard it was a popular place so really excited to try it out. The food here is "tapas" style, with small shareable dishes. Each dish we got was packed with flavor! Be sure to order everything at the start because it might be hard to add last minute since the kitchen is so busy. But the servers were great and ambiance had good vibes. Worth checking out! read more

Fun and casual date spot. Thursday night around 6pm, so we didn't have to wait for a table as there are NO RESERVATIONS. Of course, we ordered the adult Capri-suns in Lychee. We ate the following - the ugly potato, truffle mac & cheese, kimchi paella, asparagus, duck confit empanada. Flavors were rich and varied which kept each dish distinct. The standout was the kimchi paella and the ugly potato. My one complaint is that it is fairly loud inside with minimal sound proofing, so it's ideal for people who want to get in close and talk to each other, not particularly for a business meal. There are options to sit outside in the covered and enclosed parkette as well, which may be less noisy. read more

Awful place wouldn't let us in 40 mins before closing....been once and was just okay wanted to give another try! read more

Thursday Kitchen - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Genuinely rlly mixed opinions on this one ...... first of all why is the outdoor dining area literally giving pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland ride. The humidity, the SCENT, the cute lights, LA boy ivy hanging around the walls..... def not saying this in a bad way. I am by no means a Disney adult that is not what this is -- idc that smell is recognizable anywhere. for me it was a lovely touch of nostalgia. Do w this info what you will . As far as the food goes. half the dishes were fuego, half were mid, a few were just not for me. It seemed like we got the best dishes first and then I liked each dish as it came out less lol ! But our whole group had dif opinions on which were the best and which were the least favs. Here's my personal order 1 edamame dumplings. WENT CRAZY... ik they're known for this and THERES A REASON WHY 2 lucky noodles. Chefs kiss 3 duck empanadas, 4 asparagus, 5 kimchi paella. Idr like paella at all so take w grain of salt 6 gnocchi. Had a nice kick but was Lowkey ... 2 sweet para mi 7 truffle Mac and cheese . I'm not even gonna lie. The truffle oil on this was WAY too overpowering ... I will nvr forget when Gordon Ramsey said "One of the most pungent, ridiculous ingredients ever known to chef" to someone on MasterChef..... granted he's in the toxic as hell chef industry I would never go so far as to say that but bro ....... I love truffle but this was absurd ......... I'm not built like this . But half the table listed this as their fav, take this with another grain of salt I am no chef or food critic, u shouldn't even listen to what ppl say online ever like go make a decision for urself sir. 8 also was one other I don't remember Sorry also Not to mention the way the bathroom door is the size of a POSTAGE STAMP and the line to wait for the bathroom directly interferes with the server stand ... like there is no godly way the staff can enjoy having to sidestep me every time they need to process an order or grab some new utensils! Free them! We have nothing to lose but our chains! Also I literally forgot to take pics of half of the food Sorry to my fans read more

Thursday Kitchen is a place for broke college students that want tasty food at relatively affordable prices. Maybe I should have took that into consideration when I arrived to a disorganized front of house operation. My partner and I stood at the door for a good 5 minutes trying to figure out if there was going to be a host to seat us. One of the servers practically ignored our arrival and his coworker was the one to address us as she hurried out of the kitchen. She seated us at an indoor corner table. Guess who our server is? The same guy who ignored us the moment we walked through the door. Great. Whatever. My partner and I ordered hoping the food would be the saving grace. The highlights were the creamy, sweet and savory edamame dumplings, the deliciously sweet, spicy and tangy lucky noodle and the unique truffle mac and cheese. The yuzu tonics were also tasty and cute in their capri-sun style containers. The LED cube is a nice touch. The kimchi paella, which I had high hopes for, was sadly lacking. The cheese didn't add the desired texture I wanted to the rice and the dish could have benefited with a touch of sweetness. The duck empanadas were tender but tasted strange (not in a good or bad way). The hazelnut sauce used for the asparagus was a tad too salty, and the steak was good but it's something I can easily get elsewhere. After finishing the food, it wasn't very clear where the restroom was. But the waitstaff must have a laugh watching the customers try to find the bathroom because they will see you struggle and turn a blind eye. And when you thought it couldn't get any worse, you finally find the bathroom and when you head in you're met with an overflowing trashcan and a floor riddled with nasty puddles. Don't be surprised if you walk out of the bathroom with an infection. Our waiter asked if we wanted the check and we gladly obliged... to be kept waiting for another 10 minutes. Another server asks if we're ready for the check and we tell him we already asked for it. More time passes... we pay the bill and since we were tired of waiting another 15 minutes for him to take our payment we get up and hand the check directly to him. Unless you want to be ignored the whole time you're at dinner I suggest you steer clear of this place. Or maybe don't go to Thursday Kitchen on a Tuesday night... read more

I came here with a group of 6 and overall wasn't impressed with my experience. We ordered 8 things for all of us and 3 drinks to share (Lychee Peach Rich and Blah Blah Blue). The bill came to about $198 and still none of us were full after - we had to get pizza after. What we ordered: - kimchi paella - edamame dumplings - gnocchi - korean popcorn chicken - truffle Mac and cheese - drinks: Lychee Peach Rich and Blah Blah Blue The edamame dumplings were very unique and had this great edamame flavor. Definitely my favorite dish of the night. The drinks were pretty sweet and unique. I'd also like to add that the service here was great. The kimchi paella was essentially a risotto, but the shrimp was very flavorful. Truffle Mac and cheese was very mediocre. Korean popcorn chicken was good but again tasted like just normal Korean fried chicken. If you're planning on coming, don't plan on getting full. Just come for a couple orders of the edamame dumplings and have dinner elsewhere. read more

I love asian fusion places but rarely find places that do both cultures justice - so I had to check out this place since it had so much hype. The line is usually up to an hour long so make sure to come ahead of time to beat the rush. The area nearby is super cute and there's also a ton of cute bars to pass your time. We ordered the soft shell crab, asparagus, truffle mac and cheese, kimchi paella, korean popcorn chicken, steak, lucky noodle and two capri drinks to share among 4 people. The popcorn chicken and the mac and cheese are the flagship dishes here. Crispy taiwanese popcorn chicken is probably one of my favorite snacks so I was honestly a little disappointed to find that this variant was super saucy - the flavors were there and were a cool twist on the classic dish but it was just a little heavy (though great if you've transitioned to drunchies already). The other flagship dish, mac and cheese, was super small and I didn't think there was anything too memorable. My favorite here was probably the soft shell crab. It was lightly fried and a little hard to share but the texture was perfectly crunchy. Definitely recommend getting the capri drinks here as well - they add a light at the bottom of the pouch that's super cute! Portion sizes here are a little small but we were actually all pretty full after ordering. I'd say the food was decent but the vibes were really nice especially if you're seated outdoors while the sun is still out. Would definitely come back again. read more

I have always loved Thursday Kitchen ever since I came a couple of years ago, and I would come back over and over solely for the edamame dumplings. The edamame dumplings are SO GOOD. The hint of truffle elevates the whole dish and the inside of the dumplings are just so creamy, smooth, and flavorful. So good we had to order two (for two people!). Also, the truffle mac and cheese is a classic, but always a must. It is so creamy with a light truffle flavor and does not really taste too dense or cheesy overall. The steak is also very flavorful and tender. I think out of all the dishes we ordered on the menu this time, the asparagus and heirloom tomato were the most new. They were both pretty refreshing and flavorful, but nothing too too special. My least favorite was the soft shell crab, but that is just because I am not a fan of dishes that are too fried. Would be great if you love tempura though. And of course, the lychee capri-sun drink is my all time favorite drink:) read more

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in the city! Walk-in only but we went on the later side on a Saturday and we're seated immediately. I didn't take photos of everything we got but almost everything was 5/5. I'm also a sucker for their steak! Service was a bit slow as we got our last item almost 15 minutes after we finished all the other ones. Still great and I would definitely recommend! read more

Dude why is this place 4.5 stars? It's trendy and the drinks light up yeah yeah but the food is just as good and 3x as expensive as what you get in an equally trendy and upscale San Francisco restaurant. The chicken, steak, and crab were yummy and the drinks (strawberry!) were tasty -- but the rest were pretty subpar. As an example the chilaquilas were literally just corn chips... nothing special to it. $13 for 8 asparagus spear/ hmm. NYC is abundant! Try something else. read more

OH EM GEE! My friend recommended this restaurant in New York. Thank you so much shout out to him! It was so yummy. For drinks we got the house saki and it was better than the name brand. Personally I wasn't the biggest fan of the gnocchi because it was a little spicy for me but the people I were with thought it was their fav! The truffle mac and cheese... need I say more. I had to upload two photos it was that good. Service was great we sat outside and it was tight space (not used to it in atlanta) but ambiance was fantastic! read more

Would 100% go here again--any day of the week ;) Love the tapas style of eating - we got 6 dishes for 3 people: Tuna tartare taco (5/5): taco filled with fresh tuna sashimi paired with a yuzu sour cream (such an interesting combo and i could eat the sauce straight) Truffle mac & cheese (5/5): love the prominent truffle flavoring and how rich and creamy it is Gnocchi (5/5): the korean chili pepper sauce on this is amazing, and I started putting it on my paella and popcorn chicken! Lowkey think the gnocchi pieces were too tiny but not really a big complaint Kimchi paella (4/5): solid rice dish and I enjoyed the various seafood bits of squid and shrimp throughout the dish, though it left me wishing for more kimchi flavor Edamame dumplings (4.5/5): filling was delicious and had a hint of truffle Popcorn chicken (3.5/5): least memorable dish, not bad but just not special Pure strawberry drink (4.5/5): not "pure" since it has both strawberry, but it tastes great! Also comes in a cool caprisun-esque pouch with a lit up "ice cube" Other notes: - Does not take res and is busy so get here early! Entire party has to be there to be seated as well - Seating outside is very hip with plenty of greenery, provides a nice atmosphere :) read more

Cool and trendy fusion Korean tapas spot in east village. You can't make a reservation so come early accordingly. I tried the yuzu beer which was delicious to start. For food, I tried the edamame dumplings, duck empanada, salmon tartare tacos and gnocchi. I loved everything except the gnocchi, it was just a weird mixture of sweet and spicy with cauliflower. Overall, happy with my experience here! read more

Amazing tapas. Had insane grilled octopus and other delicious food. Fast and polite service.

This is my fourth time at Thursday Kitchen and they'll definitely be seeing me again soon. There's a reason why i keep coming back. Their tapas are classic dishes with their own twist that you can't just find at another restaurant easily. I ALWAYS order the edamame dumplings. The skin is nice and chewy and the filling is creamy, with a light taste of edamame. I also get the steak dish every time i come here because i just love steak and they cook it perfectly (medium rare, you can't choose how it's cooked). I tried the truffle Mac and cheese for the first time and really enjoyed it. It gets a little heavy but that's why you pair it with the yummy kimchi paella. The vibe is cozy and intimate. Servers are nice and very attentive. Highly recommend for any occasion!! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for far too long so I finally decided to try it. It did live up to my expectations, but some dishes were a complete hit while others were a complete miss (personally for me, obviously). Here's what I liked in order of what I liked the most to what I found was just alright- Duck Confit Empanadas- absolutely delicious, definitely get these. Portion size is a little small but they are tapas. Truffle Mac & Cheese- believe the hype! It is really good, and quite filling. Asparagus- call me crazy but this was actually quite good. I typically do not order (or eat lol) vegetables but this was great. Tuna Tataki- I don't know why but this missed the mark for me, whatever condiments they put with the tuna just did not blend well for me. Fried Plantain- just straight up odd, especially with the spicy cream cheese? I would pass on this. All in all, Thursday's Kitchen is a nice spot and I would return again. However, for Korean tapas (for a lack of better words), Oiji will always be my personal favorite- if I've gone to a place in NYC over 3- 4 times, it is quite special in my book. read more

awesome ambiance and fun bar drinks. however, some of the food options were underwhelming. I was particularly excited to try the kimchi paella and it really just tasted like friend rice with some crispy burnt paella style parts. I was hoping for more and a bigger portion. The lychee martini was pretty bad although the light up cube and drink pouch were cute but tacky. Was a bit underwhelmed by all the food and drink options I tried but the ambience was still great. read more

A cozy spot in East Village, Thursday Kitchen differentiates itself from the many Korean restaurants in NY by serving Korean-style tapas and juice box drinks in a casual environment. It's a fun spot to share good food and try a variety of flavors. All the tapas we tried were great. My two favorites were the edamame dumplings with a delicious creamy filling and the lucky noodles with good bounce and a kick of spice. The dishes all leaned acidic though, and some could do without the squeeze of yuzu/citrus. The service and atmosphere were both solid. The space is a bit crammed though and there is a scent of truffle that fills the restaurant. It smelled good but perhaps they need a bit more ventilation. It's relatively easy to walk into and overall a good pick if you're looking for something more unique than BCD Tofu and more casual than the contemporary Korean spots in the area. read more

I was waiting for weeks to try this place thats close to my apartment. I was not disappointed. The dimly lit restaurant was great vibes and they had an awesome playlist going on (mac, weeknd, etc.). The food didn't take long to get to us and the staff was friendly to us the entire time we were there. The food was AWESOME, the thing i love about tapas is that restaurants can really focus on the food itself. The truffle mac and cheese was no doubt the best mac and cheese ive ever had. the lucky noodles had an amazing texture to them. The popcorn chicken and the crispy crab dish they had also were great. Definitely will be coming back here again. read more

Great place to go with friends and share a bunch of things. The vibes are hip, fun, and dark. Their dishes are small and pricey, but delicious. They're also pretty well-known for their cute drinks in capri-sun style pouches, which taste strongly of the flavors that they come in. I really enjoyed the truffle mac and cheese, although it is extremely heavy. It's rich, the pasta is al dente, and the cheese sauce has a balanced flavor of truffle. I also liked the duck confit empanadas, which had a good amount of duck inside. In my opinion, you could skip the lucky noodle and get a much better beef noodle elsewhere. For dessert, the popcorn ice cream was good, but it's basically just vanilla ice cream with caramel popcorn. read more

This is a very popular spot and the line showed it - we waited about 45 minutes for 2 people on a weeknight. Overall, the drinks and food were good but I understand where other reviews are coming from when they say the place is a bit overhyped. The strawberry light up drink was delicious and strong! The edamame dumplings were also one of the best I've had; they had an incredible texture. The fried chicken and the truffle mac and cheese were both decent, but I've had better; there was more sauce than pasta in the mac and cheese, so it felt especially heavy. Unfortunately the paella didn't do it for me - I get it's a seafood dish but it had an exceptionally strong seafood taste and wasn't my personal favorite. Food took quite a long time, service was good, and the food was a bit overpriced imo. read more

Went here the night before leaving New York and it was amazing! From the cocktail juice pouch that glowed to the amazing food like Edamame dumplings, everything was amazing! We got a table pretty quickly and sat outside, service was quick and helpful. Loved the vibe inside and at our table. I will say having one bathroom for such a popular place and to have that shared with staff was tough! read more

When in East Village, this place is a must! Dishes are served tapas style. Walk-ins only. Come early to add yourself to the waitlist. We ordered Steak, Korean Popcorn Kitchen, Kimchi Paella, Soft Shell Crab, & Gnocchi. Would 1000% go back & order every item on the menu next time. I would rate this spot five stars but minus one star if you get seated by the bar. Dined here in January and was seated at the bar (by the entrance door). Whenever someone would walk in, we felt the cold draft :( Since people were coming in and out, food got cold within minutes. The seating by the bar wasn't the best. Also, people who were trying to get seated were standing around us. read more

This East Village spot is the first spot I have tried Korean tapas dining. I arrived there right at opening time (6 PM) proved to be a smart move, as the restaurant is walk-in only and surely fills up quickly (by 7pm the place was packed and there were a few people waiting outside --on a weekday night) The tapas portions are reasonably priced for the portion (in Manhattan). For two people with moderate appetites, four plates make for a satisfying meal to share. Their standout dish was their popcorn chicken which was so irresistible we ordered a second plate. The steak too (served only medium-rare) comes with a rich, flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the meat's tenderness. But the real surprise to me was their truffle mac and cheese - coming from someone who typically isn't enthusiastic about mac and cheese this dish was packed with rich cheesiness combined with truffle. The dark woody ambience, small table seating, and service all matched the quality of the food. Basically, I will be coming back, definitely 100%. read more

Make sure to come early to put your name down because they don't take reservations! We went at around 7 on a Friday night (3 of us) and had to wait about 30 minutes (even though they said we would have to wait closer to an hour). What I ordered: we each got a soju cocktail. I have the mango lychee and my friends got the strawberry. They were both delicious. I love the bag they come in. So fun! They are totally worth the $13. For food we weren't too hungry so we just shared three plates- the edamame dumplings, kimchi paella, and truffle Mac n cheese. They were all soooo good, but I think my favorite was the edamame dumplings. It was the perfect amount of food bc we weren't too hungry. Great, attentive service. I would definitely recommend. read more

This place was great! We came here on a Thursday evening right as they opened at 6, and there were already several people waiting to get seated. Their drinks are strong but delicious -- they come in capri sun like plastic pouches. I personally liked the Lychee Reach Rich the most. Since the dishes are meant to be tapas and shared family style, we were able to try a fair number of items on the menu. The food came out one after the other and by the end we were really full. We ended up getting ~9 dishes for 4 people). I'd say my favorites were: - edamame dumpling: the parmesan on the inside was delicious, super creamy and an interesting fusion that I did not expect - asparagus: the dressing was delicious The restaurant did get very loud as the night progressed. I'd go back and I also would love to visit Mokyo, their sister restaurant that's located around the block, another time. read more

Great Korean fusion food spot! Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening with a friend. We arrived 10 minutes before opening and there was already a bit of a line forming outside. Luckily there's a decent amount of seating inside so we didn't have to wait once they opened. There were actually a few small tables still open by the end of the meal and when we left there was no line at all outside. For food we started off with the Truffle Mac & Cheese, which was great. Lots of truffle flavor that cut through. I will say it was a bit heavy so we ended up taking bites of it throughout the course of the whole meal. The next dish that came out was the Soft Shell Crab. It was probably my least favorite item, I think it would have been much better if there was more sauce or something on it. The Korean Popcorn Chicken was pretty good, the sweet and spicy sauce was on point. And finally, the Kimchi Paella was the highlight of the night. Lots of Kimchi flavor here! Overall, some items were a hit or a miss but overall great dining experience. Very happy I finally got to try this place out! read more

My friend and I came right around opening time and we were seated right away. I totally loved the ambiance here b/c it's a good drinking vibe. Servers were dressed pretty hip and they are super attentive and nice. They have a lot of tables and seating, but the tables to get tight and it's not the easiest to get around (especially going to the restroom). The food here was different from what I expected. It is definitely fusion tasting, so if you want an authentic Korean food, this place is not it! I think the most familiar dish was the korean popcorn chicken. The Caprisun drinks are the most popular cocktails here, and they're really pretty as they're in a pouch with a straw and LED light. However, but they are pretty strong.. Definitely a lot more soju than I expected, so keep that in mind! This place is definitely pretty for visuals and the vibe, both the restaurant itself and the food, but I did have mixed feelings about the taste of the dishes. Also, the portion sizes are small (tapas) and so I recommend ordering couple dishes and sharing them altogether. read more

So happy I got to visit this place again! We went on a Saturday at 10pm snd luckily we're able to grab a table that just opened up, otherwise the restaurant was still packed, even at 10 lol! This time around I tried... Asparagus 5/5: holy cow the sauce that it comes with is absolutely stellar! It's got a little kick to it. And the asparagus itself is cooked well. Easily one of my favorite dishes of the night Plantains 5/5: wow who knew that plantains with sriracha goat cheese would pair so nicely?! Sweet meets spicy. Another fave. 3.5/5 kimchi paella: my feelings from my first review still stand. Don't really taste the kimchi much but it's still a decent dish. 4/5 soft shell crab: crispy outside, juicy inside. Just wish they served it with a bit more wasabi ramoulade. There wasn't enough so we started using the sauce from the asparagus dish too lol! 4/5 lucky noodle: thick flat noodles, yummy sauce, just not the biggest fan of fennel lol 5/5 Truffle Mac and cheese: a fave amongst everyone at our table of six! Perfect amount of truffle flavor. Rich and creamy. 4/5 Korean popcorn chicken: not bad but definitely have had better Korean chicken! It wasn't as most as I would have liked it to be. Flavor was yummy though. 4/5 steak: love the feta grits, steak was tender, accompanied by a soy-garlic glaze that was actually nice and sweet. 3/5 duck confit empanadas: meh these were just okay. On the drier side. Wouldn't order again. 5/5 bread pudding: perfect ending!! One of the girls said it's one of the best she's had. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food was so good and the drinks were fun. We went on a Thursday night around 8 and there was no wait for 2 people. Everything was great but the steak stole the show. The portion sizes are a little small for the price but I thought it was worth it for a night out read more

Absolutely delicious. Service was fantastic, super attentive and fast. They don't take reservations but we came right at 6 and had no issue being seated. Food comes out as it is ready so everything is fresh and hot; tapas style but honestly decent sized portions for the price and quality. Edamame dumplings were my favorite bite of the night with the creamy filling and bright, citrusy sauce. The potatoes (sweet potato, btw) were delicious and crispy. Steak and soft shell crab equally fantastic. A lot of tables around us ordered the truffle mac and cheese which smelled incredible. Ambiance was also nice, gets a bit loud and they have good music rolling. Super cute interior with various seating options from booths to table tops. read more
