The service was phenomenal, our server was attentive and incredibly polite. Overall, most of the food was fresh and flavorful, though on the pricey side. Nearly everything we ordered was enjoyable, with a few notable exceptions.
The beef carpaccio missed the mark entirely. Rather than a true carpaccio, it resembled sliced roast beef and a salad was a throwaway because the dressing wasn’t very good- and the dressing makes the salad . While the beef tartare was extremely fresh and delicious, the spicy Korean sauce completely overpowered the meat. Unfortunately, the flavor of the beef was lost, I could have been eating anything and wouldn’t have known it was beef.
The cured shrimp was solid, but the uni tasted like it was past its prime, and the quinoa was undetectable. I had expected some crispness for texture, but it fell flat.
The squid fries were fried to perfection and very tasty, but the dipping sauce didn’t work for me…and for me, the sauce makes the dish.
We also ordered two dozen Kumamoto oysters during happy hour, but they were disappointing. They seemed out of season-dry, lacking liquor, and many were unusually small. I also didn’t enjoy the dipping sauces. Unfortunately, I need some sort of cocktail sauce/horseradish or Mignonette- I prefer it traditional that way.
One standout dish of the night was the Johnson Tang. It was my first time trying something like it, and the flavor was exceptional. The depth and complexity were hard to describe, and I was genuinely, pleasantly surprised, which doesn’t happen often.

Speakeasy a trend. One of the better ones.
Namesake 531 cute.
No prohibition here.
Narrow stairs up, reminiscent of soju house, third floor… nice decor. Silk wallpaper, mirror frames, silhouettes curtains, darkly-lit, individual lighting. Wall of antics, LP, typewriter, etc.
We had a bottle of white wine, only option in the menu, Flowers. Very short selection likely intentional. Perhaps good strategy to bias cocktails.
Similarly saw bottles of Buffalo Trace. But, when asked, not in the menu despite extensive in Scotch, even Japanese.
Cocktails, we tried several. Carrot concoction very well made. Negroni and old fashioned too.
Oyster only kumamoto not bad.
Sweet potato fries, opposite of shoestring version, nicely done. Delish.
Service bit perky. Guests at times may, but servers, no need to be overly assertive. No reservation, so only couple hours. But, asked to leave although several other tables available.
No problem. We wrapped up. There are plenty other watering holes in this city that never sleeps.

Amazing spot with a great vibe, excellent cocktails, and delicious food. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was friendly and professional, and the hidden speakeasy upstairs is a really fun touch. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be back!

Went to osamil at opening on a Saturday by myself. I ordered the scallop skewer, the pork belly skewer, the kimchi burger, and a pilsner. The scallop skewer was by far the best thing I tried there. Burger was very dry (ordered medium), but the jalapeno sauce/”ash” (kinda like an aioli) on the side helped mask it. The pickled onions that came with the burger were incredible. I would come back, but I would not get the burger again. The pork belly skewer was fine. Pilsner was tasty and complimented the skewers nicely.

We had an amazing meal at Omel NYC — the food was cooked to perfection! The lamb Gobi, sashimi, bone marrow dish, and flank steak fried rice were all outstanding. The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly honest — they returned my purse after I accidentally left it behind. Highly recommend!

visited Osamil recently and really enjoyed the experience. The space is beautiful — modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed — which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a night out.
The drinks were well-made and enjoyable, and the food was delicious. Every dish I tried felt fresh and flavorful, showing attention to detail in preparation.
Overall, it’s a place that combines good drinks, tasty food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

Osamil is a perfect a gem in Korean Town!
We had a fresh and deliciously seasoned andiv and Korean pear salad, Fried avocado with crab – which was unique and innovative, octopus which was had a delicious spicy sauce and a beautiful presentation, and one of the best burgers I’ve had – the cheese was also genius, as it held the entire thing in place.
Cocktails were also delicious: we’ve had Oxaca in the Desert, O Rita, and Soft Touch.
My favorite was Oxaca…
A must if you’re in the area

We found this place close to the hotel we were staying, and decided to try it out.
What great finding! Great atmosphere, food is great and the best cocktails we had on our trip to NYC.

this is the second time visiting Osamil, and the quality of food is top notch. the service was fantastic (we had a reservation), but you could possibly walk in too, and the food comes out super quick. must try the cocktails, bone marrow, braised short rib, lamb chop galbi, and seafood tteokbokki.

Came here on Valentine’s Day with my date, and we left very happy (which honestly says a lot because Valentine’s dinners can be chaotic). I ordered the kimchi fried rice with steak, and WOW — it was straight fire. Perfect flavor, generous portion, no notes.
We grabbed seats at the bar, and Marvin took amazing care of us all night. Attentive without being overbearing, great energy, and made the whole experience even better.
Great food, great service, great vibes. Would definitely come back.
