Danji

We wanted a good dining experience, we got a great one. In a city filled with great eating spots, Danji offers a modern Korean dining experience that stays competitive and alluring. We made reservations earlier in the day for that same Saturday evening. Once there, we had a very short wait for our table and were treated warmly by the staff. The Tasting Menu called to us and we were not disappointed with the seven course "Danji’s Greatest Hits." Overall, it was delicious and we’d happily eat there again!

The first Korean American restaurant to get a Michelin star first of all so it has a legacy. Second of all Hooni Kim’s food is simply amazing, Korean food at its best. The bulgogi sliders are a must as iconic as Kogi taco in LA ever was, as is the kimchi fried rice. But the crispy tofu is insane, unreal how delicious it makes tofu of all things I always order it and can’t believe it. Wonderful atmosphere, deserves your support after they had a building forced closure for awhile, and a must for Hell’s Kitchen and for NYC. I only wish they had Hooni’s world class best Kimchi jigae but seriously other than that it’s perfect.

GOODS: the atmosphere was good. Calm, cozy. The service was good, neither spectacular nor bad - just right. BADS: the food was good, except for sliders, nothing to rave about (espeflcially for Michelin star restaurant caliber). It was definitely above average, but not even close to the expectations for the price of each entree. Can easily find other outlets with much better food for the same price.

Gorgeous little restaurant. I stopped in before seeing a show and it was fantastic. I enjoyed the spicy dried radish, the soft and crispy tofu and the black sesame seed gelato. The servers were all very kind and attentive. I definitely recommend coming here but be sure to make a reservation.

I really liked the food and cocktails here. Gorgeous atmosphere too helped enjoying New York night with my family. Korean Fried chicken and Bossam were definitely must-eat menu. Seoul something bourbon whiskey cocktail was so good!

We were there when there was a documentary being filmed about the chef and we can see why!!! Everything was DELICIOUS. Tteok-bokki is one of my very favorite foods, and this version was mascarpone was so interesting and creative!

Danji in Hell’s Kitchen is an absolute gem! The space is small and intimate, perfect for a relaxed yet special night out. We tried the chef’s selection 7-course dinner, and every dish was outstanding. The pork belly was the standout—rich, tender, and perfectly executed. Service was impeccable, with Kathy providing especially attentive and thoughtful care throughout the evening. A truly memorable dining experience—Danji remains one of Manhattan’s best spots for Korean tapas.
