Kisa

The 24 Best Restaurants On The Lower East Side - New York - The Infatuation

"Get in and out for $32. That’s the beauty of Kisa, a snug little spot serving set meals inspired by the old-school diners of Korea that cater to cab drivers. The quality of the homestyle food is just an added bonus. Choose from a few mains that include sweet bulgogi and charred spicy pork, then enjoy a wreath of bottomless sides like raw marinated shrimp and braised beef with potatoes. If you supplement with soju, plum liqueur, or one of the other Korean spirits on hand, your check will obviously exceed $32, but do it anyway. Kisa also does lunch—you can choose between gamjatang and donkatsu, both of which are under $20." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
