The food here is excellent and addictive. I found myself craving the lobster rolls and returning for them over and over. I’ve never tried anything here that I didn’t like.

Came here with a friend visiting town on a Sunday evening. The food was delicious we were so pleased round after round. I wasn’t a fan of the sweet bagged drinks but they switched it for a wine for me, so kind. The vibes were great which I was worried about for a Sunday but the buzz was there.
We shared 5 dishes between 2, probably could’ve had 1 more! - sweet potato (our favorite) - avocado - salmon special - beef ragu - noodles
Great food, ambiance, service. Would definitely recommend for a small group!

Chefs at Mokyo know what they are doing. I never had Korean tapas before but I am a huge fan now.
While I am not Korean, I usually hold Korean food to a high standard because I grew up in a Korean neighborhood and many of my friends were Korean, so I was constantly surrounded by — and eating — authentic cuisine. While this spot isn’t traditional, it’s absolutely worth trying. The food and service are both incredible.
This place is super impressive and makes for a great experience, especially for a date night or a dinner with a friend. I wouldn’t recommend it for parties larger than two, though, since the dish portions are on the smaller side.
We started with the yuzu strawberry and golden punch mocktails, which were served in adult Capri Sun-style pouches — such a fun touch! For dinner, we had the corn dumplings, oxtail spring rolls, noodles, scallops, and ragu rice. My only critique is that the spring rolls could use a bit of oil blotting before serving, so they don’t taste too much like the fryer. Other than that, every dish was delicious. The textures and sauces were spot-on.
I’ll probably be thinking about the tapioca rice balls in the ragu and the mushrooms from the scallop dish for the rest of the week — seriously, so scrumptious!
10/10 recommend Mokyo!

Everything was fine, but food. Can’t recommend for bites or dinner. The tastes were unacceptably bad and smelly.

Asian fusion tapas. Not really “korean food” in any obvious sense. Good if you want light finger food.
Mokyo is one of New York’s culinary treasures. The ingenuity and top quality of Mokyo’s food, all at reasonable prices, is amazing. Scallops in vichyssoise features luxurious richness. Fish crudo paired with grapefruit was perfectly fresh and addictive. The ribs had a delicious, complex sauce. And the Mala noodles were a revelation. The chef’s addition of cashews and celery (which would shock traditional Chinese gourmands) provided texture elevated one of my favorite comfort dishes. Bravo! Impressively varied, reasonably priced sake menu. I took off two points for atmosphere because tables were too close to each other and, like too many restaurants, the acoustics were terrible so it was difficult to hear our table conversation. But I look forward to braving that discomfort again to sample more of the masterful chef’s dishes.

Phone twist on top with a great atmosphere. I remember the lobster roll being especially good.
Mokyo is such a gem! The food is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish feels unique and perfectly balanced. The cocktails are just as impressive, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and make great recommendations. The atmosphere is cozy yet stylish, perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Everything about this place feels thoughtful and fun — can’t wait to go back! 🍸
Get the corn dumplings.
