Tapas may be a traditionally Spanish-style cuisine, but the Spaniards aren't the owners of the small plates concept. This cozy little spot in Hells Kitchen has taken the growing popularity of traditional Korean cuisine to new heights. Grab a few of your foodie friends and bring them here, because you're going to want to try everything on the menu.
From the flavorful bulgogi sliders to the crispy flash fried tofu with hot pepper and ginger, chef Hooni Kim has created a menu that is both approachable for kimchi eating novices and yet still satisfying for seekers of traditional Korean fare. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so try going on a week night before the dinner rush if you don't want to wait for a table.
