Best Restaurants in New York City | Eater NY

"David JoonWoo Yun and Steve JaeWoo Choi (the duo behind the playful Noho restaurant C as in Charlie), along with Yong Min Kim, channel the taxi driver restaurants of Korea, where affordability and speed are top priorities. As such, there is only one menu choice to make: What protein do you want (spicy pork or squid, etc.)? The rest is a set selection of banchan (refills welcome) like soy-marinated salmon, shredded radish with perilla, traditional Korean egg souffle with chives, and beef and radish soup. A full, and gloriously abundant meal runs $32 — a price, once not particularly noteworthy, but these days, worth celebrating. Good to know: While the menu is set, the banchan changes seasonally. And don’t skip the complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, or black bean latte from the machine on the way out." - Emma Orlow
