It was so nice that their thermostat was at a more comfortable temperature than the typical NYC eateries thermostats being on the Hades setting all winter long.
I enjoyed 4 and really should have eaten 3 since the yubu are pretty filling. FOMO won this time, but if I could go backsies in time, I would order the tuna mayo, imitation crab, pork jaeyook, and omitted the bulgogi. The pork jaeyook is tastier than the bulgogi, IMHO. I prefer the maillard reaction on typical bulgogi so this just wasn’t my jam. Random note, the chopsticks are so pretty!
The person in the kitchen did a great job with presentation. The rice had good texture and I felt each grain. I read others found the rice mushy, but that was not my experience.
The matcha latte with oat milk had just the right sweetness and not over iced.
The gentleman at the register was very well groomed, simply took my order, didn’t try to upsell, and overall wasn’t engaging. This isn’t a knock on him, if that’s the style of experience that is preferred and intended. A kiosk would serve a similar purpose and may be more cost effective in the long run if this is the case. Unless the cashier is the owner, then disregard that suggestion.
A steady stream of Dashers were in and out. One couple occupied a table when I arrived, and 2 other tables were occupied by the time I headed out.
Outlets are available if you want to charge, but they do not allow laptops, which I appreciate.
Jaeyook and spicy chickens were a bit too salty for my taste. I recommend bulgogi, torched or spicy salmon.
It is very reasonably priced, simple and quick to grab. I would definitely get again if I am near and want something quick.
The atmosphere is like a smaller cafe, with many smaller tables sprinkled throughout the restaurant and quick and efficient service. The menus are plastered on the walls as well as at the counter, so it’s easy to determine what you want.
We tried the Bulgolgi, Pork Jaeyook, Spicy Chicken, Spicy Tuna Mayo, Seared Salmon, and Spicy Salmon Yubus. The rice was compacted into the tofu skin wrap, with it being a bit mushy and easy to fall apart. However, the rice ratio to the toppings was good, and the flavors overall was pretty decent. The spicy ones weren’t too spicy, but still had a bit of a kick. It was $25 for 8 of them, so decent price for the portion and number you get.
Overall a great place to grab a quick bite in SoHo.
