MONO+MONO

This place is beautifully and uniquely decorated, love the fresh flowers and walls of vinyls and the photo frame booths!! The food was delicious! MUST get the wings, they’re hands down one of the best wings in the city!!! We got the sangrias and they’re yummy. Don’t miss their $2 oyster happy hour, such a great deal and the oysters were so fresh and came with three sauces. We order the bulgogi burger with fries and truffle japchae as our main dishes and omg this meal from ambience, taste, and service was top-notch!! Price is very reasonable for the food quality and portion. Thank you MONO+MONO for an overall enjoyable meal experience 🙏🏻🩵

The food was better than we expected! The restaurant has a really cute vibe with lots of fun and unique decorations. We were seated in the far corner by the bookshelf, which made it a bit hard to get the server's attention at times, but overall the experience was great. We tried the Cherry Raspberry and Lychee White Peach drinks—both were delicious. For food, we ordered the Mono Wings and the Braised Beef Short Ribs, and both dishes were super tasty. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

This is my favorite restaurant to date. My wife and I venture into NYC from time to time and we like to find good date spots... this one tops them all. The food, atmosphere, service are top tier. -The food is what has made me go back multiple times. If you go, GET THE WINGS. They are amazing. And if you don't mind eating dinner early, you can come around 4:30 to catch happy hour. ;) - The atmosphere is a vibe. From the vinyl record wall with "date tables" to the plethora of plants. It feels special. - The service was kind and considerate. Always ready to help. Hope you get to go and experience this place for yourself!

I strongly recommend the porridge! The flavoring is mild in the best way. You can simply enjoy the natural savoriness of the chicken, the sweetness of the vegetables and the brightness of the herbs. The ratio of chicken to rice was too large in my opinion (too much chicken, too little rice), but some may prefer this. Braised beef short ribs were nice, but I probably would not order it again. The sweet soy sauce was delicious and the snowman shaped mochi were fun to chew. However, the short ribs were quite tough. I would certainly return because I had a great experience overall. The loud music is not ideal and the service could be more timely. This is balanced out by a solid gastronomical experience and the fascinating library-like decor. Another honorable mention is the cold pressed apple juice. It’s a very tasty and unique beverage!

One of my new favorite spots in NYC! Cocktails phenomenal (pomegranate martini, blueberry & mango mojito, Fig & Ginger), chicken wings delicious, short ribs and beef tartare were both outstanding. The decor is really beautiful and there are jazz albums posted everywhere including the bathrooms and on a rotating conveyor belt that suspends from the ceiling. 10/10 recommend and thank you to the FOH team for the hands on service ♡ ♡ ♡

This place is beautiful and so romantic!!! Flowers everywhere. Books on one wall. Candles…. Good service and the food was OK. Definitely a spot for romantic drinks and girls night out. We had the kale salad, crispy mix wings, potato wedges, kimchi fried rice, and the strip steak. Food was OK. I would have preferred a little bit more salt. But that’s just me. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

I had an incredible time at Mono Mono in the East Village, and this was my second visit, so I knew I was in for a treat! The atmosphere is vibrant and one-of-a-kind, with walls lined with vinyl records and lush greenery and flowers that create a gorgeous, laid-back vibe. It set the perfect tone for a fun night out with my girlfriends. The food is absolutely fantastic, especially the Korean fried chicken—crispy, flavorful, and easily some of the best I’ve had in the city. The soju-based cocktails were a perfect complement to the meal, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. The service was friendly and attentive, although there was a bit of an issue with the bussing staff being overly eager to clear our plates. They came by multiple times, even when we weren’t finished eating, which became a little annoying. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall experience, which was still great. A heads-up: they only accept cash or American Express, so be sure to plan ahead or use the ATM they have in the back of the restaurant. If you’re looking for delicious food, great vibes, and a unique experience, Mono Mono is definitely a must-try!

Great menu selection with a decent happy hour. The food and drinks were delicious and the decor is gorgeous. The only caveat is that it’s cash only (or at least when I went) but they do have an ATM inside!

Mono Mono has the most unique, one-of-a-kind decorations and vibe of any restaurant I've been too. From giant flower arrangements, pristine behind the bar decorations, floor to ceiling book shelf stocked with records, and conveyor belt in the ceiling with vintage records hanging down, there's nothing that didn't surprise me. There was even a unique smell with fresh flowers at each table and a piano with bouquet decorations next to the live DJ set up. The description of cocktail and appetizer bar is very applicable, as the Kimchi fried rice left me more hungry than I entered, although appetizers including Korean Beef Tartare and Dongchimi Ceviche provided the adventurous pallet allure I was desiring.

I loveeee this place! The expresso martinis are the best I've had in nyc so far. The kimchi fried rice and bibimbap are my favorites to get. I don't even like martinis and the pickle martini was so good! The staff is great and very friendly - nothing bad to say about this. It's so pretty inside! Lots of flowers and a giant tree inside. Also has tons of books giving it an aesthetic garden x library vibe. Perfect for casual dinner with friends or a dinner date. Even if you come just for drinks it's worth it. Also pretty affordable and won't break the bank

This, placd is beaituful and unique with flowers decoration. Amazing! Lovely! Food is tasty - we ordered truffle japchae and salmon rolls. Both very tasty. You must visit this place. I was impressed.

The vibes of MONO+MONO are so uniquely beautiful. I was truly blown away by the beautiful bookcases, dried flowers, and wooden decor scattered throughout the place. The food was a bit of a let-down for me and the service wasn't the most attentive, but the ambiance is truly unmatched. FOOD [4/5] + Squash Soup (3/5) A pretty good take on squash soup. I wish it had a little more depth and flavor because it just tasted like soup out of a box. It was also served a little cold, which was unappetizing. + 6 Chicken Wings (5/5) These were great! I loved the addition of veggies and sauce. The chicken wings are crunchy, juicy, and flavorful. A bit expensive for just 6 wings but I would order again! I would come back to MONO+MONO to try more food but this is a great place to take a date. :)

I believe most people come here was because of the stunning inside decoration But the happy hour food really surprised us. Especially the kimchi fried rice! Yummy. Super cheesy. wings are also good but kimchi fried rice was my favorite Servers are really nice.

We were accommodated as a group of 8 celebrating my friend's birthday! They were super great with us and service was fast and timely. They did say the amount of food we originally proposed were not that much food for 8 people but honestly we were all so full after eating all the dishes. The vibes here are perfect for a get together and a date night (my friend has been here on a first date five times) and I definitely enjoyed my time here. I think the only thing I would flag is that the price is really high and especially because we were charged $30 for two tiramisu with birthday candles also. Kind of pricey... and the tiramisu isn't that good so I would recommend probably bringing your own cake here and seeing how much it is to accommodate it. -- APPS -- Baechu jeon 1/10 - Korean pancake. Absolutely soggy and not good. I wasn't a fan- I've definitely had better. Artichoke - 1/10 waste of money- hard to chew and eat Mono wings- 10/10 amazing actually. So crispy and tasty. I always expect this to be good at a Korean restaurant though. The soy garlic was flavorful and not too oily and/or coated! -- MAINS -- Truffle japchae 10/10 - probably my favorite one! So tasty and flavorful. Bibimbap- 4/10 very average... don't know why someone would pay for this other than dieting. Kimchi fried rice - 6/10 good but it taste less kimchi than expected. Egg is cooked nicely. Strip steak 10/10 - my fave! Everything was cooked to perfection and the cooked carrots made the mashed potato even better. The meat is so tender. I really enjoyed this one. Braised beef short ribs- 10/10 excellent! Cooked and marinated really well. We also ordered some pork dish that wasn't on the menu online but it's not that good. -- DESSERT -- Tiramisu 1/10 $15 too much. I didn't like it- very bland and not soft enough. Overall I really enjoyed the mains more than the apps I especially didn't like the artichoke and the Korean pancake which I would avoid at all cost since the price tag is already so hefty. I would prioritize other things or even just order more wings. My favorites were def the skirt steak and the truffle japchae.

I came here for dinner one day and truly had a good time. The interior of the restaurant is probably one of the most stunning restaurants that I've been to in New York. It's spacious, with high ceilings and plenty of seating as well as detailed decor, with natural greenery and records everywhere. Service was good here. My friend and I got their truffle japchae and a sushi roll to share. The truffle japchae was amazing and was packed full of flavor. I just wish they had an option to add a protein or something to it. The sushi roll was also pretty solid. Would come back here to try their fixed menu or other items!

One of the cutest restaurants I've ever been to?? You'd never guess the interior looked like that given how innocuous the exterior looks. We had a party of 3, and technically you need a party of 4 for prix fixe, but the staff was kindly able to accommodate our request! The prix fixe was A LOT of food, though. We got so full off of the apps that we could only take a few bites of our individual entrees at the end. Something to keep in mind if you plan to do prix fixe with a smaller group! With that being said, we only got so full off the apps because they were all so delicious! Seriously all hits no misses. My Wagyu fried rice at the end was also phenomenal - recommend! Overall, this spot is worth a visit! Just be sure to come on an empty stomach!

What can I say. We've been here numerous times. This time a party of 7. The place is amazing, it's an asault on your senses - jungle (yes live plants galore), DJ spinning, 15K album wall, studio tape player, conveyer belt on the cieling carring album covers...and then the food. Must have - wings, clam chowder, braised beef short ribs, Truffle Japchae - glass noodles with mushrooms and truffle oil We've never been disppointed

You must make a reservation here! The place is super cute and nice for a date night!! Try to get seated next to the bookshelf it's so cuteee. Service is pretty good and food comes out fast. I got the half and half wings and the truffle japchae which was enough for 2 people. Everything is very rich in flavor/filling, but I didn't think it was anything special. Overall the vibes are super nice but the food is alright!! Worth a try if you're coming to nyc and want korean fusion food.

We had an 8 PM reservation for 14 but arrived at 7:47. Despite that, our seats weren't ready until 8:16. When we asked for an update around 8:03, the front desk attendant simply told us we had to wait 15 minutes. Meanwhile, they seated another large party that arrived after us. It was frustrating that reservations didn't seem to be managed properly--what's the point of booking ahead if the timing isn't respected?. Food-wise, it was good and unique. The truffle japchae was great--you could really taste the truffle. I also enjoyed the kimchi fried rice. The shishito peppers were interesting, with a nice spice and seasoning. Some dishes leaned a bit heavy on the salt, though. We also tried a meat dish (I forgot the name), which was savory and tender on my end. However, my friends, who had larger pieces, found theirs tougher to chew. It seemed like some pieces might have been overcooked or not handled evenly while cooking. We also got the infused soju, which is perfect for those with a lower tolerance--it mostly just tasted like juice. The decor is really cute, with books in the background, adding to the cozy atmosphere. Overall, I'd say this place is better suited for a date night rather than a large group gathering. Disclaimer: They only take Amex and Cash, so be prepared when you come

What an incredible find! Happy Hour starts at noon! The interior is filled with a mix of art, wooden furniture, and plants galore. Get whisked away for a few hours to another world. We enjoyed the chicken wings, fries, the Korean pancakes, the oysters, Kim chi fried rice, and pretty much everything on the menu! They also have a cafe menu so grab an iced matcha latte while you're here too!

Not only way the restaurant so beautiful the food is delicious too. Totally worth the hype and I suggest you make a reservation bc it's packed in there even on a weekday.

A flower shop/cafe/restaurant is gonna blow your mind. Beautiful interior design of a library. The seating inside is very cute. You can sit in these tall chairs next to the shelves and it'll look like you are framed artwork. The service is good. They filled up our water pretty frequently and the servers were very welcoming. We got the Caesar salad. It was good but probably had a little too much dressing. I had the bulgogi burger paired with fries which were delicious. Very juicy and get ready for your hands to get messy. A nice combo of sweet but also salty with the bulgogi. My wife got the bulgogi kimchi fried rice which was also delicious. Not as spicy as other kimchi fried rice I've had. Definitely make a reservation when going even for lunch or dinner as the restaurant can get very crowded.

Lovely date spot. Had lunch here with my husband and we had a great time. The interior is so aesthetically pleasing. When you walk in you're drawn in by the beautiful decor and strong aroma of fresh flowers. There are old vinyls that line the walls, and there are a couple of tables along that wall with high chairs and each are tables for two. Each of those tables are lined with a frame that you literally walk into to get to your seat, which makes a perfect photo op. The ambiance is so romantic, which seems a bit of a juxtaposition with their menu which offers some gastropub like items on their menu, such as burgers, and fried chicken. My husband and I ordered a ceasar kale salad to share, which was good but had a bit too much dressing. I myself, got the bulgogi kimchi fried rice, which was so flavorful and tasty. The balance of flavors between the kimchi and bulgogi was perfect and the cheese on top tied it all together. My husband got the bulgogi burger which he really enjoyed. The burger was juicy and delicious. The fries were also A+. Would want to come back to try other items on their menu especially the korean fried chicken.

Beautiful space. Very quiet and intimate I came for a lunch date and was delighted. Waiters were attentive. Service was great Food was amazing. Decor was so cute.

I came here for my birthday brunch and everything was absolutely delicious. I've been craving to come back ever since! The galbi was so tender and paired perfectly with the rice cake and mashed potatoes. The japchae was on point, and the kimchi fried rice was full of flavor with a perfectly cooked egg on top. The fried chicken was crispy and beautiful, but it didn't have enough flavor for me--could've used more soy garlic. The espresso martini was fantastic, and while the tiramisu was just okay, the coconut cake was divine. It was creamy, sweet, moist, and just so good. Mono Mono also doubles as a floral shop, adding to its unique charm. The vinyl jazz vibe is a lovely touch and really enhances the atmosphere. Service was decent. I love the food so much and can't wait to return!

Beautifully decorated for sure. Unfortunately not worth the hype it gets for vegetarians. The bibimbap is intentionally served cold which is quite unpleasant. We also had to wait 10 min for our table outside even though we had a reservation. The only positive about the meal was the truffle japchae.

I seen Mono+Mono all over Tiktok, so my guard was up when I walked in. In my experience, places that are hyper curated like this tend to lack attention to detail when it comes to the food, and I was here to GRUB. I was nervous as I walked in with my big bro, my grand big bro, and grand bigs sister. Grand big RARELY invites me to dinner, so this was a big event. This place passed the vibe check with flying colors. Little 2 seat high top tables tucked under a 20 foot wall of 15,000 vinyl records, the most beautiful floral arrangements you've ever seen, jars of fermented foods above the bar, honestly one of the best ambiances I've seen in the city. It was almost too good. My words feel futile trying to describe it. As our group was appreciating the modernist quasi-industrial interior, I said "I hope it's not just fluff to hide some mid-food... it's feelin real fluffy in here..." Right when the words left my mouth I wished I could have them back. Grand big shot me a look that I can only liken to a prime Mike Tyson in a pre fight faceoff. I knew I would get a knuckle sandwich later. We opted to share everything and ordered 12 wings (6 garlic & 6 spicy), shishito peppers, a baby artichoke, bulgogi fried rice, and 2 bulgogi burgers. I almost ordered a martini but grand big doesn't drink, that would have been strike 2. The crispy wings made me eat my words right off the bat. They were delicious. No fluff. I couldn't decide if I liked the garlic or the spicy more. The shishito peppers did their thing as well. I didn't eat the artichoke because I never understood the artichoke hype, but the rest of the table loved it. The bulgogi fried rice was GAS, but was a small portion for $22.95 if we are keeping it a buck. The burgers were the only thing that we got where my fluff meter was correct. It was eh. Although this was the first bulgogi burger I've ever had to be fair. When I come back, it will be for the wings, shishito peppers, and a couple of martinis as these drinks looked bomb. All in all, Mono+Mono should be in the dictionary next to "ELITE 2nd date spot." I'm out the game now, but fellas this should be your only 2nd date spot. I think it'd be too much for a first date, but I would always do a chill first date when I was still hoopin. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Honestly, I can't believe this restaurant was so empty when we went! The food was amazing, everything was very flavourful and the right flavours all came through. I especially loved how soft the galbi was. The vibes in the restaurant are also so cool/unique, with a bunch of flowers and records rotating around the ceiling! Such a fun place, would 100% recommend

we were a little suspicious because of how beautiful this place was, but the truffle japchae was So amazing. This crazy smoked flavor and really nice mushrooms. I could barely tell it was vegetarian. Do Not get meat with it. The bulgolgi we got on the side was incredibly dry. The korean fried chicken was also legendary, and the jeon was really good as well.

Feels like something out of a retro garden fairytale inside. Great service-some of the waiters tag-teamed tables to make sure everyone was being checked on frequently. I would have a hard time coming here and not ordering the potato wedges & wings. Both excellent. We chose the soy garlic wings-flavor was not overwhelming. We both loved the kimchi fried rice as well. Can pay extra to add fried egg on top.

Very aesthetically pleasing, decent food, and mid service. While the ambiance is beautiful, the seating is extremely tight with no hooks for coats or bags- making things a bit uncomfortable in this cooler weather. They have a wide selection of unique cocktails and tasty meals. The bibimbap was delicious, Truffle Japache was tasty but a bit oily. I definitely recommend the coconut cake for dessert. Everything came out pretty quickly after ordering and somehow managed to fit on our table. I'm giving 3 stars as a glass was dropped on me by a server, leaving shards of glass in my seat. Accidents happen and I'm glad I was not cut by the glass but it did not feel safe and was probably due to everything being so tightly packed. Not sure I will return.

MONO+MONO has that dark, moody vibe that feels made for date night -- cozy lighting, shelves full of books (no, you're not expected to read them), and just enough atmosphere to make you feel cooler than you are. There's a huge flower arrangement in the middle of the room that's definitely trying to be the main character -- and honestly, it kind of works. Food-wise, the braised short rib was super tender and packed with flavor. The crazy kimchi fries were messy in a good way -- spicy, cheesy, and hard to stop picking at. Solid spot if you're looking for good food and a place that feels just a little more interesting than your usual dinner out. Service was solid, what you would expect at a place like this.

The atmosphere and space here is just gorgeous. It's filled with records and florals throughout the dim-lit, rustic space. If you're on a date, there's a couple tables tucked along the wall within a book surrounded by vinyl records. I will say that all the tables are small, so it's a tight space especially if you're ordering a lot of food. We started off with some cocktails and I had the Fig & Ginger Soju ($16), which was delicious. All of their drinks tasted exactly like the ingredients and pretty light on the alcohol. Between the three of us, we shared the Grilled Summer Corn ($7.95), Potato Wedges ($13.95), Baechu Jeon ($13.95), Small 6pcs Mono Wings ($18.95), Truffle Japchae ($22.95), Bibimbap ($18.95) with Beef Bulgogi (+$4). Everything was good and tasty, but the wings and potato wedges stood out the most. You can't go wrong with Korean fried chicken as they're huge pieces, flavorful, and crunchy. I liked that we could get half and half flavors but come for happy hour discount for a real good deal. The wedges seem simple, but they're strategically stacked like jenga and paired with various sauces while sprinkled with parmesan as well. The corn is too simple for what you pay, but pancake is good for sharing too. The entree plates seem almost like appetizers since they're pretty small portions. I like the take of truffle and mushrooms in the japchae while the bibimbap is a classic. Overall, delicious food in a beautiful environment. I'd love to come back for happy hour for their $2 mono wings though. Great spot for any occasion!

This restaurant is only good for aesthetics. The interior looks really nice. However the food was just so so. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes ? I ordered the pork tenderloin which was seasoned a bit too much and there was just so much sauce drenched on top of the pork. The steak was just okay, nothing special. They have to do something about the chairs which are hard and like the ones you see in classrooms. I saw some chairs at other tables that were much nicer. I didn't know until I scanned the QR code for the menu that they only accept cash or Amex, but usually not everyone has Amex. We told the server we only had Visa and when it looked like we were going to leave, she said she would confirm and came back and said they accept Visa.... So then why are they saying they don't ?

The ambiance here is excellent (dark, interesting aesthetics with floating vinyl records above the tables surrounded by books) but the food falls a bit short. In a city with so many great Korean options I struggled to be impressed by the flavors. Our galbi jjim was a bit dry, although the chicken porridge was excellent. The Mono Wings (half soy garlic / half spicy) were juicy, but lacked the flavor profile of even fast casual places like Bonchon.

We had a lovely wintertime experience at Mono+Mono. The holiday decorations were absolutely beautiful. This place makes you want to snuggle in with a warm blanket, sip a cocktail, nosh on delicious food and relax. We had a very friendly hostess who sat us promptly at our reservation time. We were immediately provided water, one of my most favorite attributes when dining out, and quickly met by our server. At first it felt rushed as he was very quick about drinks and ordering but as time went, I think he was simply being efficient. The food was fabulous. Yes- order the wings!! Sounds crazy but these might be some of the best I've ever had. My only disappointment is I wish we would have tried more dishes. Guess that's what next time is for :) Put this place on your list. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderfully beautiful. A mixture of flowers and large jars of fermenting fruits with album covers lining the walls. Food was just as surprising. It's an a feast for the senses.

The vibes here were immaculate. It was giving club dark academia vibes, perfect for Friday night. They offer a variety of soju based cocktails and have a pretty large menu as well. We ordered a couple appetizers from artichokes to sushi and a couple entrées as well such as the steak, the truffle noodle dish and the kimchi fried rice. My favorites were a truffle noodle dish and the kimchi fried rice. I would come here again.

Cute restaurant with beautiful decor. Love the wall seating that looks like you're sitting in a library. The staff were friendly and came to check up on us a couple times through the night. My favourite dish was the japchae - it was nicely flavored and loved the mushrooms in the dish. The kimchi fried rice wasn't spicy but a bit oily for my personal preference. The wings were delicious but we couldn't tell what the sauce was and it was a bit too liquid. I really liked the White Peach Bellini cocktail so I would recommend!

This place is a hidden gem in my book and doesn't need to be viral lol at all The perfect date spot for your significant other or even for a girls date. They have an happy hour which is my favorite but worth every moment Siri say how beautiful inside is absolutely aw dropping everything The service is top tier on point The foood is OMG I have to come back to take picture because I wasn't ready the last time

My friends and I visited this restaurant on a Wednesday evening, and overall, we had a pleasant experience. The ambiance was lovely, with tasteful decor that added to the charm. Although our larger party was accommodated, the seating was a bit snug but still comfortable enough. What we ordered: * Korean Beef Tartare (Yukhoe) * Strip Steak * Bulgogi Kimchi Fried Rice * Baby Artichoke with Garlic Aioli The standout dishes for me were the Korean beef tartare and the strip steak. The steak was cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully with its side dishes. The yukhoe was another highlight, beautifully garnished and balanced with vegetables and a sauce that brought the dish together harmoniously. The bulgogi kimchi fried rice was good, but it didn't particularly stand out compared to similar dishes I've had elsewhere at a lower price point. As for the baby artichoke, it was just okay--nothing remarkable in flavor. The overall experience was enjoyable, especially for the ambiance and service.

My overall rating for this highly anticipated restaurant was 3.5 stars. We were a party of 3 for Saturday dinner at 5:15. They let you know that you have an hour and 45 minutes until they need the table back. You MUST bring cash or AMEX card only!!!! I completely missed this. You see it on the menu page. They have an atm inside for you to take out cash for a fee. We were seated right by the entrance leading towards the kitchen/restrooms. It was honestly the worst seats in this beautiful restaurant. Not only that their table is small. We barely fit all of our foods and drinks on the table. Very cramped! It was uncomfortable. While we were eating, they decided to mop the hallway floor with clorox right by us. Perhaps there was a spill while delivering food. I am not sure, but it stanched so badly that it ruined my dining experience. I was inhaling cleaning supply while eating their delicious food. The other thing was a man (worker/owner) decided to climb up on a giant pot of flowers and add some flowers to it while people are dining around. Then he proceeded to spray water or whatever is in his bottle at the plants right by us and the customers near. Like what is going on here??? The other odd part was our drinks came much later than the food. The waiter that sat us and took our orders disappeared at some point so we had to ask bus boys/other workers in black to give us more water, utensils, and drinks. More than halfway into our meal we got another waiter who introduced himself and said he was taking over. The second waiter was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious: Baechu Jeon, bbim bbim bap, soy and garlic sauced chicken wings and braised beef ribs. Our cocktails were also great. The kitchen staff & the bartenders are cooking amazing food and making great cocktails. However, the hostess/waiters team needs to do a better job here (except the second waiter) we had. The hostess never had a smile nor friendly greeting. Maybe I came at a bad time or maybe it's like this all the time. But the service needs to be consistent and well delivered. It needs to match their delicious dishes & drinks.

Beautiful restaurant + delicious food + ideal location to start the night = MONO + MONO Went for a girls night and the server made the Birthday dessert so special by tossing rose petals like confetti! Pro tip! Go family styled here, so much to try!

I came here with a group of 4 this past Friday for a friend's birthday dinner! The service here was good! Food came out quick. Interior design is a vibe! mono chicken wings (half and half) - amazing, crispy, and def worth it! truffle japchae - fav dish, really good and smells even better beef tartare - decent! galbi jjim - decent! the cocktails here were very very good. your typical beloved cocktails with soju integrated, it worked really well! they also had a dj playing music throughout the whole night - which was really loud to a point where we couldn't hear each other in conversation, granted we were seated right by the speakers/dj, I'm sure the noise level is different in other places of the restaurant. i would say that is my only complaint here.

Service is a bit slow and the seating isn't as comfortable as it's pretty tight and there are no bag hooks. All three of us had to try our best to get someone's attention to get some water and our orders in. Shishito Peppers + Okra was well seasoned and textured. We finished it up before all the other dishes came out. Kimchi Fried Rice was actually pretty fire; as a Korean myself I don't really order dishes I think I can make at home but this was pretty unique and so tasty. Recommend getting that fried egg on top! Still Cash or Amex only!!

I've been to Mono + Mono a few times and I always love coming here. I tend to go during the week so I always miss the crowds. It's a beautiful restaurant and you can definitely appreciate it more during the off hours. For drinks, I always order the espresso martini. It's well balanced and on the happy hour menu. For food, I tend to go for the bulgogi kimchi fried rice as my entrée. We'll order the mono wings and shishito peppers for the table. I've tried all the desserts at some point and the coconut cake is my favourite. The portions are large considering the price point. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. Be prepared to pay with either cash or Amex.

Mono+Mono was our first food spot on our trip to New York. I didn't know what to expect because my friend booked the reservation and I just went along with it trusting his judgement. I can say we were all pleasantly happy with his choice. This was a great first spot to kick off our trip. We were seated right away and we were near the DJ so we had nice music as our backdrop that wasn't too overpowering or loud. The decor and setup of the restaurant is really fun and aesthetically pleasing to look at. I loved the records moving from the roof on the track and all of the flowers. Our server was nice, prompt and got our drink orders in right away. The cocktails we had were good and then all of our food orders were amazing. I ordered the kimchi rice and the melted cheese on top really made it perfect, I would highly recommend.

Mono Mono has an incredible ambience inside, beautiful plants, lighting, and rotating record display. I watched a server trim and rearrange various plants for probably 30 minutes straight. We managed to snag a high top table nestled among the vinyl collection, which was adorable. Only tried the Truffle Japchae and potato wedges but both were delightful. Service was average, there seemed to be some sort of miscommunication between servers, but overall this did not detract from the dining experience. Would love to come back.

After seeing MONO+MONO on TikTok, my boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a weekday evening with a reservation. The interior and decor was absolutely gorgeous with vinyl records lining the shelves of the wall and beautiful plant arrangements near the front of the restaurant. I ordered the blueberry mango highball which was delicious and refreshing. For food, we got the truffle japchae and strip steak. I really liked the japchae and it was nice that the steak came with various vegetables on the side. Of note, my boyfriend asked for a straw for his glass of water but the straws they had were too long so the waitress was kind enough to bring out his water in a taller glass to accommodate his straw request, which was really nice. Overall, we had a great time at MONO+MONO and would recommend it! They do only take cash and amex currently though.

AMEX or cash only. Cons: - When you're a party of three, they seat you at party of two table and throw in that extra chair. Guess they need to keep the other tables opened. It was uncomfortable because the tables were so small, it was very difficult to fit our entrees, apps, drinks and all the other stuff they had on that mini table. Not sure why they decided to bring the entrees out the same time as our appetizer. The least they could've done was give us a bigger table if that's how they'll serve. - Difficult to get our waiter, or any of the servers attention for that matter. - AMEX and cash only (yes, im mentioning this again). Pros: - wings were on point! crispy on the outside, juicy inside. - galbi was ok. there was a piece that was dry and rock hard. only piece left on the plate. - plenty of chicken amongst other goodies in the congee. - bibimbap, also plenty of ingredients as well. $2 extra for the egg, $4 for bulgogi. Not sure what the hype is with the interior setting. It's OKK. Overall, it's neat to check it out, but I would not return.

Ambiance of love. Someone put a lot into creating this very unique space. On this August night it was relatively cool and the front of the restaurant was open enhancing a great atmosphere. Great cocktails and good food. Service was prompt albeit a little impersonal. AMEX and cash only. They do have an ATM. They should tell you this when you sit down. This is a big no no these days.

I got the chicken sushi roll. Really good and so much for one plate. The ambiance is really nice it's set in a record shop so some of the tables are in the bookcase. It's perfectly lit and pretty busy. Perfect for date night or friends night out. So expensive tho it was 100 for two meals and two drinks lol but I guess that's normal nowadays.

This is my friend's favorite spot and she wanted to bring me. I loved it!! What a vibe in there. It's really sexy in there and also has a garden feel. They even have hydrangeas and lavender for sale. There's one area of seatings that literally has plants all over the place. It's very pretty! And then the other side is decorated with vinyls, very cool! We started with some drinks. The ricewine sangria was delicious - I had a couple. Almost like juice! We shared a bunch of things. Artichoke, potato wedges, tartare, truffle japchae, and the Korean chicken wings. Everything was really good. The truffle japchae really stood out for me, wish we had more. And the fried chicken was amazing.... I'm a fan of the soy garlic. We had a great time. Everything was amazing! Definitely want to come back.

If you want to impress people or have a very nice dinner, then this is DA SPOT! The vibes, decor, service, cleanliness and atmosphere really shoots this up to a 4.5 rounded to 5. It's the type of place you come in and say WOW, you won't see another place like it. It can be a bit compacted so definitely get a reservation and if you are doing a night for two, highly recommend the section by the records as they operate similar to booths. I originally came here with a large group to celebrate my friend's birthday. Luckily that meant we got to try quite a selection of food. Food Bangers for me were the Baechu Jeon - Which is a korean pancake that is cooked to this crispy savory delight. They serve sauce on the side that pairs well. The Chicken wings are a classic and is a recommendation. Definitely above average compared to other k-wings, especially if you love them saucy. I was a bit disappointed in the Jujube tenderloins though. For 35 bucks, it was overcooked and to me seemed like the other entrees were better. Overall food is solid but not mind-blowing. The place is a solid 4.5 rounded to 5 because it doesn't feel like a 4. Interior and cleanliness are top notch. Service is great and for a birthday person they give flowers :). Give it a try

came here as a party of 5 on a Saturday without reservations, and I would recommend reservations if you want to sit in the aesthetic backroom with the vinyls but unfortunately since we were walk in we were closer to the front close to the door. None the less the aesthetic was still really nice! I enjoyed the food and drinks at this location. We ordered a variety of items on the menu including the oysters, wings, kimchi fried rice, burger, salad, fries and soup. Everything was pretty good! I highly recommend the chicken wings!!

This spot has amazing vibes!! the inside was such a unique atmosphere. We sat toward the street, but they did an incredible job of making you feel like you were in your own world. And the food was good! The wings were incredible and we couldn't stop eating them. My husband got the bulgogi kimchi fried rice with an egg, and he loved it! I got the bibimbop with bulgogi, which I probably wouldn't get next time. It was good, but was missing something. We both ordered the lychee martinis and they were absolutely delightful. This spot was pretty affordable and so unique, so 5 stars!

This place has been on my list for some time now and finally got to go. From the moment you walk in you're welcomed by the unique interior. It's truly amazing seeing all the vinyls on the wall and some going through the restaurant. Drinks: we got the blueberry soju and although I liked it I wouldn't get it again. It was a little thick in consistency for my liking Food: the chicken wings are a must!! We almost didn't order but since it was what they're known for we did and they sure did not disappoint. The short ribs were also so perfectly cooked and I could pull apart the meat so easily. The flavor was so amazing and it kept you wanting more. Lastly were the mushroom glass noodles. What I loved about this dish is that they used a variety of different mushrooms and not just one so if you're a mushroom fanatic like me I'd encourage you to try it out.
