The 21 Best Korean Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"At Kisa on the Lower East Side, $32 will get you an entree, soup, rice, and a wreath of banchan including kimchi, mung bean jelly, and soy-marinated shrimp. It’s a great deal, especially for the area, where that much money usually only gets you a small plate or a few shrimp with cocktail sauce. The walk-in-only restaurant is compact, bustling, and decked out like a retro Korean diner, and the waits can be multiple hours. Put your name in around 5:30pm, grab a drink somewhere, then come back and eat some bulgogi or stir-fried spicy pork." - bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
