NARI

The best Korean restaurant in New York where you want to have a classy, ​​elegant meal with your family. I visited on July 6th. It was my birthday and I had a precious time with my family and friends. Every dish was so neat and delicious, The 콩 국수 (kongguksu ) you prepared specially for my parents was so delicious and I was grateful. and I was so grateful to the manager, staff, and young, smart owner Junmo. The heart of washing, cutting, drying, and placing limes in the customer's glass is so precious and beautiful. This space is filled with such beautiful people. I'm a little late in writing this because I came back from my summer vacation in Chicago.I give you five stars. Please continue to be a great restaurant and prosper. I bless you. 정갈하고 기품있고 따뜻한 한식당 , 가장 소중한 가족과 , 결이 고운 내 사람들 누구에게라도 추천하고 싶은 소중한 공간입니다 31 + 생일파티 참 고마웠어요 :)

I went during the dinner time. Food: Nari Salad: I had the Nari salad. It came with a cashew nut sauce. It was savory and sweet. The dried cranberries made a good balance between the flavors. I am normally not a kale person, but the chef did a great job in balancing the bittiness of the kale with the sauce. I couldn’t taste it at all. The salad was a great starter. Grilled Scallops and Shrimp: I love scallops and I was excited to see it on the menu. The plating was beautiful. I loved the details that went into it. They even had an edible flower on it. Which I loved. The seasoning was prefect.( I had eaten at other places were the seafood was overly salted. Which hurt my tongue). The sauce that came with food was super yummy. It worked well with the main proteins Yuja Sparkling: Yuza / Yuja is one of my favorite fruits. I love anything with yuja in it. The drink was refreshing for the hot and humid day. It sweet. They put a lot of detail into making the drink look beautiful Service: The server was super nice and attentive. He came by often to ask if we need anything else and about the food. We were seated quickly as well. The tables around us were taken care of well too. They made sure that the customers needs were met. Atmosphere: I loved the interior here. You can tell they put a lot of thought and dedication into it. They had comfortable seats and it wasn’t dark. They did not blast the music like some places, you are able to have a full conversation with your party. They also had the softest tissues in the bathroom. It is the softest tissue that I saw in a restaurant so far, the soap they use smells great as well.

Food is delicious. The atmosphere is quiet, high end. Perfect for dates. The waitress Moon is amazing! Highly recommended. Location is great, next to MoMa

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend the Korean-style spicy chicken, LA ribs, and braised fish. All of the side dishes are delicious and the omija ade is refreshing and delicious. Everyone was so friendly that I was able to enjoy the meal even more.

Very great Service, Foods are very good, very nice people. We went there to trying uniqe style korean dishes and it perfectly met my expectation. 10/10 rating, thank you✨

The restaurant has a classic ambience and the food was great! We tried the marinated Galbi sotbop and it was incredible - loved the side dishes as well! The service was awesome.

As a Korean native, their lunch special was delicious. Great deal for sure! Staff was awesome, inside isn’t super compact like many restaurants in NYC. Delicious food, clean bathroom, great bosa nova playlist- it’s a great spot for a date or hanging out w/ friends!

Great classic Korean food and service was exceptional - friendly staff. I wish them the best in success! Special drinks as well - lemonade was tasty.

You wouldn't know it from the exterior, but this restaurant was so beautiful and clean inside. The waiter was so, so sweet and the food was delicious!

I've beet to NARI with my friend for early dinner. We had kale salad, beef tartare for appetizers. The tartare was very fresh and savory. After that we had grilled scallop and marinated beef rice. The scallop was perfect temperature and fresh. On the other hand, the marinade beef rice had a combination of delicious flavors. There were good looking staff looking after us. I felt like a princess. The food served in that restaurant appeals to my palate. Aside the food, the atmosphere of the place is worth a visit.

Ordered: Bansang Lunch Special - Marinated Short Rib (~$34): with multigrain rice, daily soup, house salad, and 5 banchans Aya's take: Nari is a new, upscale Korean restaurant in Midtown. It's tucked away and easy to miss as it's not on a main street but you won't want to miss this! Although I had ordered it to go, the manager let me sit in and eat it which was great so I can have it while it's super fresh. I will say their to-go packaging is perfect so it will definitely hold well either way! For the price, you might think it's a bit much for lunch but you're getting high-quality food and this is definitely the best Korean-style "lunch box" I've ever had in the city. The Marinated Short Rib aka LA Galbi was sweet and savory; mostly tender but definitely had quite a few chewy bites. The banchan was pretty good with my favorites being the kimchi and the marinated egg. I also like that they give seaweed wraps on the side! The atmosphere is well-worth dining in but if you're not able to, definitely try their lunch special option served from 11am-3pm. Check them out!

Relatively new Korean restaurant in midtown west. Elegant and luxurious atmosphere. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Portion sizes were small compared to the prices, and food was overall decent. We started with fried chicken which we wish wasn't renders, rather wings and yellow tail which was a bit fishy. The duck and short rib were the best dishes.

The food was incredible. The service was friendly and professional. Its a find and some of the best Korean food I've had.

One of the best K restaurants in the US. Cozy atmosphere with amazing choice of music. Can compare to Michelin restaurant. The waitress and waiter are professional and very kind with warm smiles. Food are delicious. I had the eel rice bowl. Everything is perfect.

A superb place for a date or a celebration. The food was exceptional. A very fresh take on traditional Korean food. The ambiance is very high end and the service is super attentive. I highly recommend the tea service.

Elegant Korean restaurant that has a pretty layout and BYOB but with rather pricey dishes compared to the portions/taste and a relatively quite seating area that come together for a mid experience. $30 a dish. 3.25/5 stars as a dinner spot.
