What Koreatown Looks Like Across the US
"Hangawi, opened in 1994 by Terri and William Choi, is the first upscale Korean vegetarian restaurant in Manhattan. Known for its beautiful interior space rich with Korean cultural motifs and artwork, Hangawi received two stars from New York Times food critic Ruth Reichl within months of opening. It attracts celebrities and takes pride in its ingredients sourced from Korea. Over the years, Hangawi adapted its menu and seating to cater to its diverse clientele while maintaining its unique offering as the only Korean vegetarian restaurant in the country."
