“I absolutely love this place. I have a very bad case of long covid since October 2021 where almost everything smells and tastes rotten or sickly sweet. I am able to eat the hot pot miso ramen soup with a lot of different vegetables, and I can have the chocolate cake/cupcakes. So delicious! I can also eat the white rice and the grilled pineapples. Before finding out that I can have all of this, I was losing a massive amount of weight, thank God for the few things that I can have here, I’m able to maintain my weight now. I just tend to go a bit crazy with what I can eat because I’m so hungry from not really eating the other days. The workers are amazing. The manager, Justin is really nice and very funny. The owner Darin is also very nice. Love the atmosphere and the music, I still can’t eat the other things and the smells from the other foods still bother me but I deal with it just so I can eat what I’m actually enjoying there. Thanks kpot for being the first restaurant where I’m actually eating some things that I can enjoy. Highly recommend this place, especially this location. Twenty stars“

“The food is always amazing and the staff there is always friendly and nice. We’ve gone there 3x already and plan to go back more. My son wants to go there for his bday next Jan so he can invite friends lol“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

“Unforgettable meals and wines. Friendly smart service.“

“Ondo was exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. While the layout and vibe of the restaurant are more casual than upscale, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

Chef Brian Kim, the owner of Ondo, also created the Michelin-starred Oiji Mi in NYC—so it’s no surprise that this spot is just as impressive. Ondo offers a tasting menu that’s a more affordable yet equally delicious alternative to Oiji Mi. It’s a fantastic way to experience elevated Korean cuisine without the Michelin price tag.

Chef Brian also owns other restaurants, including Domo Domo, and Ondo is a wonderful addition to his portfolio. The restaurant is co-owned with his wife, who leads the pastry program, adding a sweet finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“We had an early dinner at Koba and tried their bento box. The staff were attentive and friendly . Helping customers to make selection and explaining the ingredients to them. When it’s my turn i was glad they entertained my request. Meal portion was legit and delicious... The staff even checked on our meal satisfaction after that so it’s really a cosy experience. I just wish the music was softer.“

“Best Kimchi I've ever had. They have so much to choose from other than kimchi as well. Everything I've ever tried there has made me want to go back and get more. Love this place and love that they have a jar deposit as well so they are helping reduce waste.Overall excellent staff, great food, and well run business. What more could you ask for?“

“I ordered the 8 wings meal, ate 4, and put my remaining 4 in the fridge for a day. They were still crispy. I don't understand how this place manages to defy physics, but I'm happy they can. Bonus notes: the wings are BIG, they have hands down the best fries in the area, and the super friendly employees love giving you small bites of other things to sample. Highly recommend Kimchi Guys to literally anyone.“

“The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are very professional and this place is also kid friendly. It gets super busy and crowded so go early if possible. I definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“Yeahh…! Korean it is, ? It was difficult to find, to cut to the chase, let me give you the best directions, enter the oculus from the h&m side and take the elevator to go to the underground, or search for gansevoort market, ? see the images from below, Some place to have a quick meal, the food was good for a quick meal on a busy day, we had korean soft tofu ? , it was good and fresh, it has a big dining area in the back, we initially thought we had to stand and eat but there was a good amount of place to sit and dine.“

“The negative feedback seems exaggerated compared to my actual experience. I noticed quality in both the food and staff attention. Prices reflect fair value throughout. The staff members seem strikingly handsome and pretty. I completely adored this restaurant and will return soon!“

“Incredible food every time! My family and I are obsessed. 10/10 would recommend! Joshua cooks a wide variety of cuisines and works with our dietary restrictions. He has a real passion for food that comes through in every dish. Always delicious with great service too. Also, ask about his hot sauces!“

“The lady at the front desk now is super pretty and nice, and has a great attitude. The drinks made by the tea making lady are also delicious every time.
However, there is a strong smell of cigarette smoke every time I come here. The smell of smoke wafts in after the staff smokes, and it lingers for a long time, which is very unfriendly to pregnant women and children.“

“Itto Sushi has probably taken over my top spot for fresh Sushi in Hudson County and while it would be nice to have Sake choices at the restaurant, the ability to bring my own with their BYOB policy, I can easily pick up a decent Daigingo Junmai from several places nearby to the restaurant as Jersey Coties sake scene isnt pretty nice.“

“10/10 everything. I went here with my girlfriend and her sister and as soon as we left she wanted to go back. The food was amazing, honestly some of the best Korean food i've ever had, the customer service was great, they made me feel welcome and they were kind. This restaurant is really a 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone who wants to try some Korean to-go snacks.“

“I find the space cute and the food very YUMMY😊. Personally I buy the Ddeok-Booki (I hope I spelled it right) with a Strawberry Lemonade & it’s worth the wait🙏🏽. My comfort food occasionally after work.

Vegetarian options: I’m TRYING to be vegetarian (commitment) however my family eats meat. If you don’t eat fish or chicken or meat overall half of the menu is meat however they have fries and rice and cheese sticks + more if you’re interested in supporting the business as a vegetarian.“

“Hestia Café is a popular spot in the Financial District where one can find Korean Soondubu stew. This meal consists of a tofu-based broth with a variety of vegetables and spices. The stew is prepared with soft tofu as the base, combined with ingredients like zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and garlic, simmered in a flavorful stock. Protein options such as beef, seafood, or chicken can be included, and the dish is typically finished with an egg cracked directly into the hot stew.

The serving size is substantial. The stew is accompanied by rice, which complements the broth. The meal is effective for providing warmth, making it suitable for individuals seeking comfort on colder days or when unwell.

Hestia Café also offers seating near the entrance, making it a suitable location for people-watching. The visibility of the preparation process, combined with the availability of Korean dishes in this neighborhood, sets this spot apart.
