Fun experience sitting on modified ground chairs like you can find in Asia!
Food is vegan and modern, which surprised me. The food was okay! The presentation and service are great but I was not particularly impressed with the food.
There is a gluten free section on the menu. Even though the other food options don’t look like they’d have any gluten, they have traces (e.g. sauce for one ingredient in mixed rice uses wheat)
Melanie was our server and was awesome. She was very attentive and very accommodating for my mom who has celiac disease. My mom always gets nervous ordering at places but Melanie made it a point to make sure she was as comfortable as possible and had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend if you’re gluten intolerant or celiac!
I'd never experienced Korean BBQ but my husband thought I'd like it, so we made reservations for our first anniversary while we were in NYC. It was excellent through and through, and the staff was very helpful in regards to my dietary restrictions! I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, and chicken, and everything on the menu was clearly marked. When they brought the sides and toppings, they went over which ones were safe for me and which ones were just for my husband. Everything was phenomenal. I had zero reactions, and if we'd had a microwave in our hotel room you bet we'd have taken a bunch of leftovers back with us!! We ordered way too much food but we wanted to try different things, and to our server's credit, he did tell us we had likely chosen plenty of food. 🤣
Massive portions and tasty food, it also caters for gluten-free diet. The burger didn't leave a greasy feeling in my mouth which is always a good sign.
Atmosphere is upscale NYC chic but unpretentious. Excellent service and amazing food. Server Nancy is the best there is. Very friendly, professional, and attentive to our needs (i.e. celiac, gluten-free). The garden salad was next level for a garden salad. Lamb chops were amazing (and gluten free with mashed potatoes). Bistro Burger (not gluten-free though) is also recommended. Desert wise, gluten free ice cream was available in several flavours (trust me ... go with Italian Espresso). For non-celiacs like my wife, the warm beignets will send you to dessert heaven.
