"If you hadn’t noticed by now, the team behind Atoboy cranks out new Korean restaurants like Disney pumps out Marvel flicks. Unlike Quantumania though, Ariari is totally worth your time. The food at this ’70s basement-looking spot in the East Village is inspired by Busan (a South Korean port city), so prioritize things from the sea like the DIY scallops handrolls and bibimbap with sea urchin cream. But there really are no bad choices. Just when you think the next dish can't get any better than the last, you’re proven wrong." - bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
