Mokyo

Came for restaurant week 2026 - prix fixe dinner ($45 per person). Overall, food was just okay, and portions were small. Also the food took so long to come out :/ Not worth - Scallop ceviche: 6/10, wasn’t a huge fan of the sauce - Yellowtail crudo: 8/10, better than the scallop ceviche, and the sauce was yummy. The orange slices were interesting lol - Corn dumpling: 9/10, solid! Really enjoyed the corn flavor. Creamy corn filling - no kernels. Def get this! - Wagyu oxtail spring roll: 8/10, solid flavor - Octopus skewer: 7/10, octopus was tender and flavorful, but didn’t like the potatoes in the skewers. Also a little salty - Berkshire rib: 9/10, solid tender and flavorful. Def get this! - Fried rice w/ lobster: 6/10, meh - Injeolmi mousse: 9/10, very creamy and chocolatey! Def get

Chefs at Mokyo know what they are doing. I never had Korean tapas before but I am a huge fan now. While I am not Korean, I usually hold Korean food to a high standard because I grew up in a Korean neighborhood and many of my friends were Korean, so I was constantly surrounded by — and eating — authentic cuisine. While this spot isn’t traditional, it’s absolutely worth trying. The food and service are both incredible. This place is super impressive and makes for a great experience, especially for a date night or a dinner with a friend. I wouldn’t recommend it for parties larger than two, though, since the dish portions are on the smaller side. We started with the yuzu strawberry and golden punch mocktails, which were served in adult Capri Sun-style pouches — such a fun touch! For dinner, we had the corn dumplings, oxtail spring rolls, noodles, scallops, and ragu rice. My only critique is that the spring rolls could use a bit of oil blotting before serving, so they don’t taste too much like the fryer. Other than that, every dish was delicious. The textures and sauces were spot-on. I’ll probably be thinking about the tapioca rice balls in the ragu and the mushrooms from the scallop dish for the rest of the week — seriously, so scrumptious! 10/10 recommend Mokyo!

The food was absolutely delicious and super unique! If I had to recommend any dishes it would have be the noodles & lobster rolls. The noodles were super savory and really chewy + the lobster rolls were super yummy and soft. The layout was also very detail oriented and created a really intimate atmosphere. Lastly, the mocktails were delicious/pretty and the packaging was extremely creative! They came in plastic bags with a small light inside. Not only was the food amazing but I got so many materials for my junk journaling. The restaurant’s brand is minimalist and perfect for anyone who loves to journal!

Excellent experience during the NYC restaurant week ! We had the 45$ menu and I must say every dish was a delight ! I highly recommend the scallops, the dumplings, the ribs and the best for last the PUDDING ! Also, the service was excellent and the restaurant is super cute (and animated)

we got the dumplings, lobster roll, scallops and cauliflower. all were amazing. dumplings were a highlight. good date spot or sharing with a group.

Came in a group of 3 on a Sunday night which was perfect as there was no wait time. We ordered a total of 8 dishes which were shared and came out to $80 pp with tip included. This place is tapas style so each dish is meant to be shared. In my opinion there were some dishes like the Berkshire ribs and oxtail spring rolls that felt a bit underwhelming (they weren’t bad they were just ok).The rest of the dishes were yummy and the winner of the night was the lobster roll (we ordered it twice!). Overall it’s a good spot to try and have a bite. My rank goes: rice dish (had a tiny kick to it ) > lobster roll > dumpling > scallop > ribs > spring rolls

Mokyo is not only delicious—it’s a warm, cozy place to enjoy a truly memorable meal. The small plates are fun and festive, each one capturing bold, iconic Korean flavors with creativity and flair. Chef Kay is more than a chef—she’s an artist. Every dish is crafted with care and authenticity, a combination that’s hard to match anywhere else in the city. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. My family, friends, and anyone lucky enough to join me always leave talking about the exceptional service, comforting atmosphere, and exquisite food we look forward to experiencing again and again. I couldn’t recommend a better restaurant in the city.
