Korean restaurant · East Village

"One of our favorite Korean restaurants in the city is just off St. Marks about a block from the theater somehow still running Stomp, and it’s called Oiji. It’s a dark little room with brick walls and a bar in the corner, and we’ve had luck recently walking in without a reservation and getting seats there. Get the fried chicken, the ssam platter, their one dessert - vanilla ice cream with honey butter potato chips. It’s a huge portion, but if you ask nicely, they might halve it for you. In other words, you have no excuse not to try this." - Bryan Kim, Hillary Reinsberg
