Food was okay! Nice presentation, good flavorful. We went on a night where the kitchen seemed slam, the whole tasting menu took almost four hours… also pretty sure the Wellington that was brought out to us was for show. There was a 30 minute wait from when they brought it out to when we actually had our food.

Our first drink had a dead fly in it. Our second drink had a fly in it too. We were told the drink charges would be removed but when the bill came they said they couldn't do that. This definitely didn't need to be a review, but there are too many dead flies in drinks here.

Food in general was good but my cocktail arrived with a fly in it. I sent it back and it was remade. Server said they were in a "war" with the fruit flies. The server told me they would void the charge for the cocktail. The remade cocktail had a fly frozen in the ice and they remade it a second time and sent an amuse bouche to apologize. Then when the check came, the waiter apologized saying that the chef "is now aware" of the cocktail situation and took back the offer to void the drink. Found that unusual

I recently had the pleasure of dining with a large group of 10 at Soogil, and I must say, it was an unforgettable evening! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic night.
Service was absolutely phenomenal. Attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating, they ensured that every guest felt welcome and catered to. The staff's attention to detail and teamwork were impressive, especially considering our group's size.
The three tasting menu options offered something for everyone, and the chef's creativity shone through in each dish. The menu's diversity allowed our group's varied palates to find something to love. Standouts included the beef wellington, black cod and honeynut squash soup. A few of us shared plates of nurungji foie gras.
What truly impressed me was the kitchen's willingness to accommodate food allergies and aversions. With several dietary restrictions within our group, the chef took extra care to ensure everyone's needs were met. The modifications were seamless, and no one felt left

Came with a Korean foodie friend and we both ordered the 3-course tasting menu plus some additional side dishes. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful and the chef also met with us and provided additional information on the dishes we had ordered. Beautiful experience.

Came on a Tuesday night (8/13) and must say we really enjoyed the foods here but unfortunately was ruined by couple of hit and miss inexperienced servers. They were three servers on the floor that night which should be adequate for a weeknight crowd. What bothered me the most was the lack of basic fundamental knowledge about restaurant service. The first server who came to our table to take our order looks confused and even unable to answer some simple questions about the dishes on the menu. To make the matter worst a different server who open the wine bottle we ordered was just as ignorant. He just popped the bottle and serve it to everyone and drips all over the table as he pours. No bottle confirmation, presentation, pour of taste and so forth. At this point we just want to order and finish up our meal dinner then leave, let alone enjoying the meal but then came a server name “Fin”. An energetic, knowledgeable, attentive and very experience young man with a positive attitude. He went through the whole menu with us with a very professional manner. It was like a day and night. He stopped by our table periodically to check on us to assure we have a great experience dining there. We learned that through our conversation that he’s only been working there for about a month. To the owner and manager of the restaurant, we really enjoyed the foods here but the service truly needs more than just a polish. Hats off to “Fin”

We visited on a Friday afternoon around 5 PM. The restaurant has that classic East Village vibe—cozy with tightly spaced seating—but the service and food were excellent! The Beef Wellington and Foie Gras are must-haves. The Beef Tartare was fresh and flavorful, and the Duck was tender. I especially loved the Molten Chocolate Cake.
Perfect date spot! Loved all the dishes and the mix of flavors. The standard duck dish was okay but I’d suggest upgrading to the beef wellington. We tried the two different desserts and both were amazing.
I visited this restaurant during New York Restaurant Week and was thoroughly impressed by the $60 dinner. The food was thoughtfully prepared and artfully presented, with each dish resembling a work of art. The diversity in ingredients, flavors, colors, and textures was remarkable. The chef's creativity and craftsmanship shone through each delicate dish, delivering one delightful surprise after another. A good chef knows how to keep diners engaged with the unexpected—it's like an intriguing dialogue.
The restaurant itself isn't very large but has a unique, chill, and warm East Village vibe. The comfortably dimmed lighting enhances the intimate and relaxed atmosphere, making it the kind of place where you just want to sit all night, sip wine, and watch the world go by through the window.

Tried this place for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. I always worry about going to places that have the smaller portions but by the time we left, I was pretty full. We did the chef's prefix menu. Everything that came out was so fresh. The food combinations were an explosion of flavor, each with their own uniqueness. Even my picky eating friend was willing enough to try everything and for the most part liked it all (I would find it impressive if a picky eater liked foie gras). We had a group of 5 of us so we were able to try a little bit of everything. The halibut just melted when you took a bite was a pleasant surprise consider it tends to be a tougher fish. They bring out the whole beef Wellington before they cut it so you could see the golden goodness and then they cut it into portions to serve with a side of veggies. It was cooked to perfection. The duck was also good, I'm running out of words to emphasize how delightful everything was. The drinks were also very good. The sorbet for dessert was light and a perfect post dinner treat. The chocolate cake was the perfect balance of sweetness. Lastly, get the uni app. You will not be disappointed. I cannot rave about this place enough.

This is one of the restaurant I would recommend. Fusion of French and Korean cuisine. What surprise me is the duck breast. Skin is crispy and meat is so tender but not too raw and chewy. Perfect The beef tartar blend in so well with fried seaweed and crispy rice. Scallops with Korean melon purée is so delicious. The Wellington beef is also well prepared.
