"Korean-American chef and entrepreneur Esther Choi of Mokbar opened this LES bar as a continuation of her journey in educating Americans about Korean food and culture through Korean-American bar food and cocktails. The Between The Knees is the perfect drink now that summer is basically here, which is Ms. Yoo’s take on the strawberry daiquiri. The strawberries and limes help achieve that perfect balance between sweet and tart, and the ginger preserves give the drink that extra kick." - izzy chen, with warm welcome, neha talreja, bryan kim

I hosted my birthday party here and we had an absolute blast! We were able to rent out a portion of the main floor by the DJ and the space fit 40-50 guests easily! The atmosphere was perfect for a birthday party and drinks weren’t too expensive. The staff was AMAZING and they made everyone feel so welcome. 100% would host another event here!

I had my birthday party as Ms Yoo a few weeks ago with ~50 guests and we had a wonderful experience! Great music, good atmosphere, and decently priced drinks. Would absolutely recommend this place to a friend. Rob who helped me plan was also extremely helpful and responsive via email! 10/10 from me

I threw my birthday at Ms Yoo, it was phenomenal! Hosted 50 guests at the venue, it was the perfect space. Planning with their team was super easy and efficient. Easily hired a DJ through the venue, hired a photographer on my own, who they welcomed and made his job easy. Ms. Yoo delivered on the quality of service, quality of drinks, and overall vibe quality. Strongly recommend for any party or outing! I would definitely work with anyone on this team again.

Hosted a birthday party here with about 20 people and the whole experience was great. Rob is very communicative and helpful from start to finish. The space is super cute, the bartenders and drinks were great, and the music was right on par with the vibe I was looking for. A lot of my friends had not been to Ms. Yoo before and ended up loving it - definitely a gem!

A friend and I rented the top floor for a birthday party recently. Rob and the Ms Yoo team were responsive and ensured everything went smooth in the days leading up. The upstairs space is great for events - space for 50-100 people and it’s well decorated. The food was great and the bartenders ensured everybody was taken care of throughout the night. The DJ was also really good and matched the vibe of our group well. We all had a great time and it was significantly less stressful than other bars that we’ve hosted parties at. Highly recommend considering Ms Yoo for events!

I had my engagement party on the second floor of ms yoo and we had the best time! Rob and all the staff were so friendly and very reachable before hand with any questions. I would definitely recommend this space for friends future celebrations.

I threw my birthday party here and it was nothing short of perfect. Karl the bartender was the second star of the party right after me the birthday girl. Drinks were great, food was great, vibes were immaculate. They have some food platter options and you can also plug in your own phone upstairs to bop your own tunes, so basically checks all my boxes. Very easy to plan with their coordinator Rob. I will be back!!!!!
