Description
The layout places a lively bar up front and dining in the back. Beyond the signature meats, the kitchen serves large oysters with soy and mignonette, savory seafood pancakes, and daily specials. The whole chicken is brined for several days, keeping the meat tender under its thin, crispy skin. As the space fills up after the early evening quiet, K-pop plays at a moderate volume beneath TVs lining the walls. Staff can guide you through the Korean beer and liquor imports, making it a convenient stop directly across from Madison Square Garden.
