The Best Korean Food in New York City | Condé Nast Traveler

"Run by brothers Steve and Eric Choi and friend David Yun, this cozy Lower East Side corner spot is an ode to the Korean taxi-driver cafeteria, delivering revolving circular metal platters piled with impressively diverse, hearty, impeccably seasoned banchan—standouts include mul hwe (raw fish in a cold spicy sauce) and bulgogi japchae—and paired with warm hospitality like complimentary canned Korean drinks, occasional gratis pours of Korean alcohol, and the old-school staple of a free coffee machine on the way out; I also love the yulmu-cha, a sweet, nutty, high-protein tea made with Job’s tears, grains, and nuts." - Irene Yoo
