Kori - 253 Church Street (bet. Leonard and Franklin)
This may be my new favorite Korean restaurant! I'm not sure if it was the food or the company that made it so enjoyable--both maybe? Nonetheless, dinner was fab! Although this place wouldn't normally be considered as "cheap eats", the sharable dishes on the menu makes this place seem like a terrific value. This "uber-chic" Tribeca hotspot adds a modern twist to classic Korean cuisine. We had the Gul Jun (pan-fried oysters with yuzu soy sauce), Oh Jing Uh Ty Gim (fried squid), and Bul Go Gi (thinly-sliced rib-eye steak lettuce wrap)--this was just the perfect amount of food and it was delicious! A friend of mine who happens to be Korean and has also eaten here before, recommends the Duk Bokki (rice cake nuggets) and raves about the mixed drinks. I can't wait to try the Duk Bokki next time, plus many other appealing dishes on the menu. With its sleek, ultra-cool monastic decor, tasty menu selections and sharable dishes, you could enjoy an intimate dinner with someone special without breaking the bank. What a great place for a romantic date! For more information, check out their "uber-chic" website at www.korinyc.com.
