The Best Restaurants in Manhattan’s Koreatown | Eater NY

"You might think that since the space is jaw-dropping with high, embellished ceilings in a landmark building and a Michelin-starred chef that it’s too fancy for fried chicken. But don’t miss it: It’s unbelievably crispy and light with small golden air bubbles and an addictive seasoning. Beyond that, there’s plenty to try: chef and owner Hoyoung Kim (Jua) shows his finesse throughout the menu. The hwe muchim (seasoned raw fish) with the seaweed and soybean powder offers umami in multiple textures. The Pyongyang-style naengmyeon is as light and mildly flavored as it’s supposed to be. The tteokgalbi is made with premium beef short rib and chewy rice cakes." - Caroline Shin
