The Hottest New Restaurants in Manhattan, July 2024
"Kisa, short for kisa sikdang (also spelled gisa sikdang), or “driver’s restaurant,” is an homage to Korean diners that emerged in the ’80s, catering to taxi drivers. The spot echoes kisas in Korea, with vintage TVs, wall-mounted fans, Korean calendars, and a coin-slot coffee machine that dispenses coffee. There’s only one dish on the menu —it comes on a tray with banchan. All there is to do is pick a main: There’s jeyuk (spicy pork); bulgogi; and jingeo bokkeum (spicy squid). Walk-in only." - Eater Staff
