This place is fantastic! Every dish was thoughtfully designed and executed. The flavors were on point and I still dream of that ouji bowl. One of things I really liked about their tasting menu was each course came with option so my wife and I could try so many dishes instead of both of u as getting the same meal. Also, service and our server were very attentive and knowledgeable. Will def go back.

We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary here and the experience was absolutely fantastic. We arrived a little earlier than our booked time, but our table was already ready and we were warmly accommodated, which set the tone for the evening.
The service was excellent throughout, and the food was outstanding — very tasty, beautifully presented, and genuinely artistic. We went with their 7-course holiday special, and every single course ranked highly, making it a memorable dining experience from start to finish.
A special mention for the thoughtful gesture at the end: we were surprised with house-made mini cupcakes, beautifully plated with a handwritten note celebrating our anniversary. That personal touch truly made the night extra special.
An unforgettable experience and a perfect place for celebrating meaningful occasions. Highly recommended.

Opted for a la carte bc I heard there’s some misses in the tasting. Everything we got was great. Lobster ramyun was simple but done well, but my fav dish was probably the sea bass and clams with truffle seafood broth; it was so rich and flavorful

Elevated Korean to its finest!
I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing the food was. We had the most decadent food and only ate at the bar. The bartender gave us wonderful suggestions on what to order as well as attentive service. We can not wait to try the formal dining room or Bo.
The beet tartare on toast was delicate and delicious. The chili lobster ramyun had the most velvety flavors. The Oiji bowl with sea urchin was phenomenal. There was so much thought put into these bites and gorgeous presentation.
Highly recommend trying.

Really impressive food, a totally deserved michelin star. The seaweed rice bowl is filled with sea urchin and other seafood – my favorite out of the whole set. But overall the tasting menu is so well-balanced and provides a logical food journey. The dessert was a bit off for my taste – can’t say I enjoyed the palate cleansing ice granita, but the sweet potato doughnut was very unique. Also amazing selection of teas (the persimmon one was really great). The service is up to michelin level standards and not snobby.

We ordered the tasting menu at Oiji Mi. The beef tartare stood out with good texture, paired with pear, noodles, and a cold broth that felt like a cold soup and noodle combination. Refreshing and balanced.
The scallop and mushroom soup had nicely cooked scallops that were very tender, but the seasoning leaned salty and the creamy base felt a bit heavy.
The fish course didn’t work well for me, as the seafood flavor came across stronger and slightly fishy.
The steak was solid, with good texture, easy to bite through, and a light char on the outside.
We also added a seafood rice bowl with uni, sweet shrimp, and roe. The ingredients were fresh and the uni was sweet, making this a safe choice.
One noticeable element throughout the meal was the frequent use of black truffle. Personally, I didn’t find that it added much to the dishes, and the truffle aroma was quite subtle.
Desserts were thoughtfully prepared, especially the yuzu granita paired with ice cream, which helped refresh the palate.

Great spot.
The “choose your own adventure” model is imo superior to a typical multi-coure meal. You get to try more dishes without feeling either too full or only a small bite of the dish you were looking forward to the most.
Everything we tried was delicious. I am somewhat reluctant to call this a Korean restaurant. Korean-inspired – sure. It does not detract from their quality and ensures broader appeal through use of subtler flavors.
(skip the galbi though).
I was impressed by their extensive wine options too.

We chose Oiji Mi for our wedding anniversary and I only have good things to say. The food was delicious, especially the lobster ramyun (I wish I had a massive bowl of that one) but I want to say thank you to Bobby Yarasvich who gave us the best customer service I’ve seen in a restaurant in the last 10 years. He was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience 10x better. Every restaurant should have its own Bobby and I hope management gives him kudos for doing his absolute best. Bobby, thank you so much and if I’m coming back (which I am) I say 80% has to do with the exceptional service you provided!

The food was decent and reflected Korean flavors well but overall it didn’t feel elevated. The plating was beautiful and thoughtfully done, but the flavors themselves felt a bit lacking and not very memorable. Our favorites were the Oiji bowl and the goguma dessert. The bowl had familiar flavors but executed in a more refined way, and the goguma dessert was especially charming both in concept and taste. The combination with ice cream and hazelnut worked really well.
My least favorite dish was the yukhoe naengmyeon, which was quite disappointing. I’ve had many better versions of similar dishes, and in this case the yukhoe and the naengmyeon textures didn’t work well together. The cod was also underwhelming as the fish didn’t seem to be the best quality and while the soup itself was flavorful, the radish and fish didn’t absorb the flavors well. The galbi was tender and enjoyable, but it didn’t taste particularly Korean. However the garlic puree served with the galbi had a much stronger Korean flavor and ended up being better than the meat itself.
The champagne dessert was another letdown. It didn’t stand out and felt more like shaved ice with grapes, especially compared to other desserts at nice restaurants. But the cocktails were pretty good tho
The biggest disappointment was the overall experience. The tables were very close together, and the service felt rushed as plates were cleared even while we were still eating, despite the fact that we were already eating faster than most other tables. The restaurant felt extremely packed, loud, and crowded, which didn’t match the $250 per person price point (new years eve menu). I remember visiting a while ago when it felt more spacious and less crowded and rushed but this time it felt very off
If you’re looking for a romantic date night spot, considering many other places in the city, Oiji Mi may not be the best choice. However, it does seem better suited for group settings, such as double dates or dining with parents!

Really solid food for the price point. The Oiji Bowl in particular is like the ultimate poke bowl, blew me away. Can’t imagine a bowl being much better than that. Highly recommend if you’re looking for fine dining without breaking the bank (only 150 pp without including any supplements, +35 for the Oiji Bowl because they use Hokkaido uni!).
