$52 set menu was definitely worth it. My personal favorite was the lamb stew. The sauce was pretty great. Also highly recommend the sweet potato cheese cake (not included in the set menu)

Lovely staff but the food was so disappointing. I walked in with 0 expectations and left feeling extremely hungry and dehydrated. So many things were extremely salty and the portions are like bird food. We did the pre-fix menu and only dish I enjoyed was the strawberry scallop starter. The texture and flavor of everything else was just off. The kimchi pizza and galbi just tasted kind of mushy, like something you threw together at home in the microwave. The seafood noodle was very bland, but the bibimbap was the most disappointing. Spicy yet lacked flavor, and the soup they served on the side of it was pure salt. I could only drink two sips of it. While the staff is very kind and the atmosphere is great, the pre-fix menu items are simply not worth the price. You can find better, more authentic flavors elsewhere.

Hospitality is not dead - go here to experience incredible food and just as amazing service. I had such a terrific meal, the flavors of each dish were phenomenal. I had asked about which dishes had raw fish (I couldn’t eat), and they quickly made an accommodation without me asking so I can enjoy my first course. On my way out, the hostess said goodbye using my first name - remembering from my reservation. So thoughtful to the dining experience. You don’t experience class like this much anymore!

We got the kimchi pie, a perfect balance of comfort and refine, the lamb stew, and then for dessert the match panna cotta. Dessert was tangy, tart, and sweet - a great way to end the evening.

Cannot wait to go again and recommend to everyone! You won’t be disappointed!

Nourishing food for the soul 🩷 Modern take on Korean food. Super affordable for the range of food you get. Lovely staff and service.

the prix-fixe menu was such a good deal!! there 4 courses and you get very different flavor throughout each course, i so so enjoyed it.

i think the bibimbap with oysters at the end with the warm soup was a very filling, warm ending to the whole experience.

staffs were the cutest too!!

We had such a good time here. Everything was delicious, and the prix-fixe price is unbeatable.

Came with my wife for prix fixe winter dinner for our anniversary. We had a great time but had mixed reviews on the food.

Based on recent reviews, we came in with low expectations and were glad that Odre exceeded our expectations.

First, the super positive is the value of the meal and service. I don’t get what people mean when they say they weren’t full after the meal. We did order one extra second course and a dessert, but I was so full at the end. I would’ve been content with just the prix fixe. One recommendation for diners: make sure to share your food cause the courses are generally large enough to share at least a few bites between 2 people. Staff was great and attentive and even surprised us with a candle on our dessert. I’d be ready to give 5 stars but holding off for now.

The good: the food was generally good. I would not recommend this place to someone that does not like earthy, exploratory or natural flavors. I think that’s the best way I can describe the flavor profile. The dish that I think everyone would love is the abalone mandu. Second would be the sweet potato cheesecake. It comes with a makgeoli ice cream which was great. Lastly, the kimchi pie, but it’s like an asian pancake/roti type of bread with a bed of assorted greens on top, for peoples awareness. Honorable mention - Lamb: I loved it and it really reminded me of gamja tang (korean potato stew). Unfortunately, this dish didn’t convince my wife to like lamb.

The mixed: I could appreciate every course but there were definitely some that my wife and I had significant discussions about. Welcoming: turnip and liver - I loved it. My wife did not. Terrine: we both agreed the texture of it wasn’t the best and the flavor needed a bit of a kick. Guksoo: super concentrated (salty and fishy) - I liked that the flavor was really prominent but could be overpowering for some. Cod: very fragrant, weird but it tasted like cereal to us, like fruit loops or trix lol. Bibimbap and soup were good, just very earthy and natural.

Nothing was bad. I would choose to try Odre again during another season as I’m curious what new dishes the chef would produce and in the hopes my wife and I have less mixed takes on the food. If it was the same price point as some other Korean prix fixe / tasting menu places, then I would not go back to Odre.

Great price/deal. Lots of food. We got one of each with our party of 3. Too much food even with prix fixe menu. Was good tasting but some dishes especially first round wasnt a huge fan of. I really only liked the main course and the last rice bowl dish. So there were a lot of hits and misses. I like the atmosphere of the place and service was good/nice but probably wont go back. Something was missing from the taste or quality even though it looked good, not sure what though.

This place is kinda disappointing. Every dish was small in portion and all tasted really salty. The first 3 course were decent and the abalone is pretty tasty, however the last bibimbap was really a disaster. One of the male waiter had an atrocious attitude which made the experience even worse, and food came slowly. I’m not sure how they get so many positive reviews on here but the quality of the catering is definitely deteriorating.

Every dish we had was super salty we had to keep on drinking water. The beef tartare and fish tasted/s smelled odd.

This was a 7/10 meal. We tried the Jokpyun, the Citrus Red Shrimp Naengchae as a starter, and honestly both kind of fell flat in favour. For the second course, the guksu was rich but quite one dimensional in taste. Special mention to the Kimchi Tart, which was quite delightful and special and was honestly one of my favourite dishes of the night. The bibimbap and tteokgalbi were alright, and the fish dish was just okay. The sweet potato cheesecake hit hard though.

My husband and I came here for the first time to try their winter pre-fix menu. (it was worth it). I'm so glad we came because the food was delicious and was just on another level compared to what you get to try at normal restaurants. The presentation was beautiful, and the food tasted just as good as it looked! The staff was all super nice and friendly as well, and everything was prepared pretty timely. They really go out of their way to make you feel special and welcome. We HIGHLY recommend the Abalone Mandoo, Citrus Shrimp Naengchae, the Jokpyun, and the Jujube Tea!
