20 GREAT RESTAURANTS YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET INTO
Where to get dinner when you forgot to plan ahead.
The entire neighborhood of Koreatown is only about the size of a high school football stadium in Texas - but it’s full of great restaurants. Consequently, some of them get overlooked. Osamil, for example, is a great-looking spot with a marble bar up front and a brick-walled dining room in the back, and it serves everything from a burger to a bowl of bibimbap with uni and tobiko. Whatever else you order, be sure to get a kimchi pancake, and try a cocktail or two.
WHERE TO FIND NEW YORK CITY’S MOST UNIQUE MARGARITAS
Look no further than Koreatown for a fusion-style margarita that will keep you curious about the limits of margarita making. This gastropub serves a mean kimchi-rita, made with Espolón Reposado, Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, pineapple coriander allspice syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of Himalayan pink salt. Served up with a rim of dehydrated kimchi, you’ll wonder why you’ve settled for salted rims for so long.
WHERE TO DRINK SAKE(AND PAIR IT WITH DELICIOUS FOOD) IN NYC
Osamil manages to combine ko-chi (Korean grilled skewers) with tiki drinks and pub throwbacks like a shortrib burger with French fries with premium sake without feeling kitschy or off-kilter. Bring some company to feast on gochujang-glazed squid, grilled and served whole, housemade blood sausage with kimchi, freshly shucked oyster pancake, and uni bibimbap. For frequent visitors, there’s even the option to acquire a dedicated locker to hold pricey bottles of whiskey until your next visit — though you may not need to look that far in advance when merrily sipping a Denemon junmai daiginjo alongside sticky, craveable Korean fried chicken.
JOHNNY PRIME’S STEAKHOUSE REVIEW
THAT’s what breakfast should be… Not only is it gorgeous but it tasted great too. The steak could have used a bit more salt and pepper, but that’s only if you were eating it by itself. When combined with the rice, you got all the savory elements from the bacon and kimchi working together with the steak, so it’s all good. 9/10.

NOW GO AHEAD AND SPEND THE NIGHT IN KOREATOWN
There are plenty of reasons to cross West 29th street, leaving the swank bars of NoMad behind, to spend a soju-fueled night under the neon lights of K-Town.
WHERE TO EAT IN AND AROUND NYC’S KOREATOWN
Osamil carries a standard Korean beer and soju list, along with a variety of spirits not usually found in Koreatown, including Japanese whiskys. The restaurant specializes in Korean skewers and bar food, and most diners come for a side honey butter chips. Catering to those looking for a more relaxed vibe one block over from 32nd street, Osamil also offers late night drink specials, including a beer bucket with Hitachino White, Hite, Kronenburg, and Peroni for $35, and daily food specials.

THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN KOREATOWN
Walk into Osamil, and you’ll hear The Isley Brothers, Otis Redding, or some other kind of old-school R&B that’ll make you want to hang out in this dimly-lit space for several hours. It also doesn’t hurt that this little Korean pub serves some of the best food in the area, with a great kimchi pancake and various other things like uni bibimbap and a burger. There’s a bar up front where you can drink or eat by yourself, and the dining room in back is perfect for a slightly upscale meal with friends, parents, or your friend’s parents.
OSAMIL OVERSIZED COCKTAILS
Sharing is caring at Osamil where oversized cocktails are perfect for two or more. Too Legit to Quit with dark rum, tequila, vodka, lime, tamarind syrup, mint, black vinegar syrup and pineapple juice and Oops I did it Again with vodka, toasted coconut rum, Thai chili honey syrup, cranberry juice, passion fruit and fresh lemon, are large enough to share with a few friends or Dad on Father’s Day next week.
OSAMIL
It appears that only a few short weeks after opening Osamil in the early fall of 2016, the three partners of Nomad Izakaya have another hit on their hands. At 5:00pm when Tom, the photographer for Manhattan Sideways, and I walked in, there were a few people milling about at the impressive white marble bar. By the time we left, about an hour and a half later, there was not a seat to be had upfront, and the tables for dinner were rapidly being filled...
THE OSAMIL EXPERIENCE
The Osamil experience for Joanna Lin (aka Ready Set Jo)’s new foodie show filming was one of the most unique Korean dining moments I’ve had thus far in NYC; I got a taste of some real authentic dishes each with their own style and twist, including a super badass chef’s cut prime beef tartar with Korean pear, gochujang remoulade, and a freaking QUAIL EGG...
