"Yurum Nam of Zusik on West 14th Street says the restaurant’s $20 version of the dish uses hand-pulled noodles because it 'wouldn’t be a good idea to use instant food.'" - Luke Fortney

"We’re all familiar with the izakaya, a type of Japanese establishment specializing in drinks and bar food, the eats of an international nature, though adapted for Japanese tastes. Zusik is a Korean gastropub right on 14th Street that partly duplicates an izakaya menu, but with Korean notions of its own to accompany a selection of cocktails, wine, sake, and beer (a flagon of draft Korean beer is the best deal). Most dishes are either small plates or rice bowls. In the latter category, find eel over rice in a thick sauce, while the former includes mandoo (dumplings) stuffed with pork and deep fried. There’s quite a bit to be explored on the menu; my favorite thing was marinated short rib on an elongated hump of truffled mash potatoes." - Eater Staff
"Zusik is a Korean restaurant on 14th Street in Chelsea and unfortunately, the food here isn’t very good. The kimchi pancakes are bland, and the spicy seafood pancakes aren't spicy and barely have any seafood in them." - Hannah Albertine
