As part of my quest to make it to every country around the world, my latest trip was to Asia. In particular – Seoul, Singapore, Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia) and Bali (Indonesia). Although it is similar to other major cities, the culture and food make Seoul a great place to visit. The locals are obsessed with food […]
Seoul Garden 34 W 32nd St [32nd btw 5th & Madison] Second Floor New York, NY http://seoulgarden32.com/ Should you try? It doesn’t specialize in any one dish, but a great restaurant overall. So yes. If I’m looking for a solid Korean meal (ie not BBQ at Don’s Bogam or Noodle Soup at Arirang), I come to […]
Don’s Bogam 17 E 32nd St [32nd btw 5th & Madison] New York, NY http://www.donsbogam.com/ Should you try? Good food, and I would say come here especially if you’re into trendy restaurants/atmosphere. I’ve been to Don’s Bogam several times, and I’ve enjoyed the food each time. I think what separates this place from other Korean […]
Ichi Umi 6 East 32nd St. [32nd btw Madison & 5th] New York, NY http://www.ichiumi.com/Home Should you try? Stick to non-buffet restaurants in the city Buffets, particularly sushi buffets, ALWAYS sound like the best idea ever. That is until you finish your 6th plate of food, and you immediately regret your gluttonous moment. Buffets are […]
BonChon 957 2nd Ave [2nd ave. btw 50th & 51st] Multiple locations including Ktown and St. Marks New York, NY http://www.bonchon.com/ Should you try? Yes for flavorful fried chicken I think Korean fried chicken is the best type of fried chicken. It’s usually double fried and subsequently extremely crispy. Bonchon serves up some really tasty, […]
Korilla BBQ Location Varies New York, NY http://korillabbq.com/ Should you try? Yes, still the best of the Korean food trucks. Korilla was recently around my office and having had it only once before, I jumped on the chance to try it again. The line was maybe 10 people long, but moved very fast since they’re efficient […]
HIT Deli & Korean Food 150 W28th St. [28th btw 6th & 7th; enter office building and walk past the security guard to find the deli] New York, NY http://hitdeli.tumblr.com/ Should you try? Definitely. Better than comparable places in Ktown. I’d consider HIT a hole-in-a-wall, as it’s not well-known and you have to enter an office […]
Food trucks, in general, are extremely popular in the city and now there are several Korean food trucks. Korilla started the trend (I think) and is definitely the most popular of these trucks. I’ve tried three Korean food trucks so far and Korilla is definitely the best. I have to try it again, but the […]
Arirang Korean Restaurant 32 W 32nd St [32nd btw 5th and 6th] New York, NY http://www.koreanrestaurantnyc.org/ Should you try? Yes, especially if you’re in the mood for noodle soup. If you’re looking for comfort Korean food, come here. There isn’t much variety, but what they do serve is delicious. Each of their dishes are served […]
