"This neon-red Noho spot from the the Kisa team can make a Tuesday feel sexy. And all of their Korean-Southern dishes cost $16 or less. The next time you need a little weekend energy on a weeknight without having to refresh the reservation page at exactly 9am, plan to come here—especially if you're into the idea of ox bone cream pasta, gochujang-glazed fried chicken, and seoul'sbury steak with galbi jus and gruyere grits." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"A Korean restaurant noted for value-focused recognition (Bib Gourmand) and the quirky perk that a shot of alcohol comes free with every meal." - Eater Staff
"When the warm weather hits, the Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded C as in Charlie, a hotspot serving Korean tapas with American Southern flair, expands its 40-seat dining room onto Bleecker Street. The convivial sidewalk seating captures the energy of indoors — expect flowing sake shots and inventive small plates designed for sharing." - Shivani Vora
"This Korean American party restaurant in Noho will be offering a two-night Seollal dessert special. The five-color gyeongdan (sesame rice balls) include raspberry, black sesame, injeolmi (a soybean-y flavor). The dish comes with a small envelope containing a real dollar bill. It’s available on Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Chef Eric JaeHo Choi's spot flies a bit under the radar, but with this wildly creative, cultural collision cooking, it deserves to be top of mind. You may become fast friends with your neighbor at this tiny space, but with a warm welcome from the hospitable staff, it's all part of the vibe. A compact menu keeps things tight with around ten dishes, but it's sprinkled with widely appealing Southern- and Korean-minded tapas-style plates. The cooking is straightforward and earnest with bold flavors. They're having plenty of fun from start to finish with items such as Seoul’sbury steak with galbi jus and gruyere grits, shrimp toast rolls and banana pudding with misugaru and meringue. Baby back ribs with a harissa glaze and plum coulis are slap-your-grandma good." - Michelin Inspector
