My girlfriends and I came here for dinner before we had to catch a flight. Service was fantastic and quick. Our short rib was excellent, melted in your mouth and tasty. I loved the refreshing lettuce wrap and sauce variety as well. Tuna crispy rice was also delicious and fresh, I highly recommend.
For the sweet potato, the table was split, I personally did not enjoy the cheese with the sweet potato but others have, so it’s up to you to try. The fried rice was not popular amongst us, for $32, it’s very pricey and not that special. The hard texture of the rice was also not pleasant.

I’ve been here twice, and both times the service was abysmal - inattentive, slow, and unhelpful.
The food is okay, not worth an hour+ wait.. especially when the group I am with is spending tons of $$ on the corporate dime.
Hard pass on this place…

My Girlfriend and I went to this location for the cinnamon roll that went viral recently. Though looking through the menu, we decided to only get what we came for at the moment. Usually servers roll their eyes and are annoyed when a table skips the dinner and gets the dessert. Our server, the taller gentleman with the beard was super helpful and informative when asked some questions. Kudos to him for staying on top and being mindful of any possible food allergies. We didn’t feel rushed or treated differently for our relatively small order. Speaking of, the Cinnamon Roll lived up to the hype! So good ! We’re looking forward to coming back and having dinner here soon.

Horrible food and subpar alcohol menu. Everything was over salted and oily. Slow service. Our waiter couldn’t hear our order. Drinks had barely any alcohol in them and took forever. Wait for the bathroom unnecessarily long. Because sinks are inside the stalls thus slowing down the line. Overall huge disappointment!!!!! Overpriced garbage.
Find something else. It’s NYC!!!

This place is the epitome of a restaurant built for Instagram, not for actual dining. It’s clear they’ve catered to influencers (other 5 star reviews and influencer party going on when I attended) rather than focusing on the service. The menu is $22 cocktails and $40 Korean fried chicken. Host was rude. Didn’t honor reservation. Orders forgotten. All while spending hundreds of dollars to be there.
Pedro the GM seemed more interested in winning an argument than being in hospitality and being hospitable. Combative, rude and aggressive towards our party.

If you're looking for a culinary adventure, Kyu NYC is the place to be! I finally checked it out, and wow—it did not disappoint. Originally from Miami's Wynwood district, their wood-smoked and wood-grilled Asian dishes are an absolute flavor explosion. Every bite felt like something new and exciting. The blend of exotic ingredients and smoky techniques made the entire meal unforgettable. Now I get why it's James Beard-nominated and a Time Magazine winner! If you're a foodie like me, this spot is a must-visit in the heart of NYC.

I am always so shocked when I hear people haven’t heard of this place. From the fun, lively atmosphere to the delicious food, this is a go-to for anyone looking for a vibey night in Manhattan. I recommend going with a group of people just so you’re able to have more of a variety. The must haves are the kale chips, the cauliflower, and the fried chicken. And the filet mignon was so perfect with its own little flair. To make this place even better, they have an unmatched Happy Hour where you can get the kale chips, crispy rice, and a selection of cocktails. Can’t wait to try the Miami location!
Came here for drinks and appetizers, and everything was amazing. I definitely want to come back for a full meal.

We dined in as 2 and got the $125 each tasting menu. The portion sizes were CRAZY generous. It was impossible to finish all the food put out onto the table. It wasn’t quantity over quality either - each bite was amazing and I could eat my fill.
Highlights were the crispy kale, braised short rib, cauliflower, sweet potato. Each dish can comfortably be shared between 4. The thai stone rice, crispy rice, and scallion broccoli were good but I’d probably try other dishes next time.
This is the first time I’ve had to get the food to go for a tasting menu. This one meal could’ve fed me for 3.
I’ll be back! Maybe not the tasting menu though, my stomach needs to recover
