Oiji

Oiji is a contemporary restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village, creating a new category for Korean cuisine in New York City: Refined Authentic Korean. The intimate but stylish restaurant is accented with an open kitchen, reclaimed wood, exposed brick and ambient lighting with factory sash windows that open out to the bustling streets of downtown Manhattan.

You can explore traditional flavors and dishes while utilizing modern cooking techniques and ingredients, artful plating and portion sizes, Oiji offers a Korean dining experience that is at once familiar and surprising, in a modern downtown setting. All about this restaurant is small plates-style dining, beginning with a wrap of Wagyu slices, brushed with barbecue sauce and topped with sautéed maitakes. Raw scallop slices may then arrive atop shredded snow crab; while vanilla bean ice cream surrounded by potato crisps doused in honey butter boasts enticing flavors.

Address: 119 1st Ave., New York, NY 10003
