Koreatown's not the only place to tame your bulgogi cravings. Chef-owner Kori Kim serves dressed-up but unfussy fare in a cool space: high ceilings, orange walls warmed by candlelight and world beats played at a friendly volume.
– Time Out New York
A little slice of Koreatown minus the hectic streets and blaring neon. Tranquil, modern spot excels at both Korean BBQ and ginger kamikazes. Rust-colored walls and flickering candles. Has garnered serious praise for its crazy array of hot-pots and the excellent waitstaff. Post-barbecue, settle in with one of the unbeatable chocolate desserts.
