Great service , friendly stuff and tasty kitchen. Cocktails also were very good !
Veronica UribeMay 31, 2021
Chef’s menu is awesome. Spicy wings were great. Kimchi Rice was awesome. We also loved Tuna sashimi
Village VoiceDecember 12, 2013
Take our advice: eat the kimchi bacon spam fried rice. They say it's for 2, but we won't judge you if you devour it all yourself!
Urania MylonasNovember 17, 2019
The kimchi Bloody Mary is excellent! Also they are definitely open on Sundays—Foursquare you should correct that.
Emily HaOctober 11, 2011
Recommend their tofu w. ginger scallion dressing, honey garlic wings and bulgogi beef sliders, and kimchi bacon chorizo ‘paella’.
Mark MunroJune 12, 2015
Kimchi bacon fried rice and chicken wings are superb. It's sort of tiny, but the flavors make a lasting impressions, particularly the wings.
Kelsey✨October 7, 2017
Small space, so arrive early to snag a table during the lunchtime rush, and order the poke bibimbap bowl
Jack HarrisonSeptember 23, 2014
Get a range of dishes to share - the bossam in particular is incredible, (bitesize pork belly & kimchi cabbage wraps).
Mina DavunanJune 2, 2021
Amazing food. The vegetarian options were delicious. Tofu and spicy rice cakes. All of the starters are so delicious!
Fred Stevens-SmithNovember 12, 2015
Tapas twist on classic Korean dishes. Super great execution, friendly staff and owner, and lovely ambiance.
SPE CertifiedAugust 10, 2012
Recommended dish: The Whelk Salad with Buckwheat Noodles is not only delicious, but is also officially SPE-certified. Read more

Best Korean around. Never had a dish I didn't love here. Show up early, it's small and fills up fast!
Paul LomaxSeptember 6, 2013
Everything we ordered was great. Definitely get the tofu starter, it's surprisingly amazing. Big fan of the fried chicken too.
Razia RehmaniOctober 17, 2016
We got lunch special and the soup was very tasty. Service was also good. Very happy with experience will be coming back soon
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
The variety of sliders are always a popular choice. The spicy pork belly and the bulgogi beef are some faves
Matthew RodriguezAugust 26, 2011
Technically, a Korean-fusion restaurant, but the bulgogi sliders are seoul good!! Stop by at the bar for an order of these and one of their excellent cocktails.
Sakura YagiSeptember 14, 2014
Watermelon Crush is aptly named & delicious. Paella & hot wings were good but the pork sliders were our favorites.
Thomas MoAugust 17, 2014
Two dishes per person is a good portion. Spicy kfc wings, bulgolgi sliders and kimchi bacon paella are musts.
Michael LaMasaAugust 12, 2014
Can get pricy, but worth it. Small and intimate. Delicious food. The spare rib is to die for!
NearSay NYCJuly 25, 2011
Danji in Hell's Kitchen brings the genuine flavors of Korea with some French influence to develop the taste, quality, & visual of each dish. The place offers small but shareable portions.
Daniel SultanMay 27, 2012
The Yellowtail sashimi with Kimchi is out of this world. The pancakes are a great surprise. And don't forget to get a Sangria.
Simon LeungAugust 10, 2014
Great date place and the pro belly was awesome. A little higher end with smaller portions but very cute!
Berta CMarch 3, 2016
Great dishes especially yellowtail sashimi. Must have Hakkaisan Sake.
kate wangMarch 27, 2013
For a light(er) lunch option. Split the tofu to start and get the hwe dup-bop. It's still spicy but the salad and sashimi help balance things out.
Jenny LiuMay 18, 2013
The restaurants next door must get tons of business from Danji's throwaway trim. Best al dente Soba ever (with the whelk)
Village VoiceFebruary 1, 2013
Vegetarians who get teary eyed thinking of forgoing the kimchi, take note! There are several varieties here that nix the fish sauce.
StonehengeNYCDecember 14, 2011
Insanely awesome Korean food with a modern twist. Midtown West's answer to Momofuku...almost? The tofu, sashimi, and bulgogi burger are not to be missed. Read more
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011
Recommended dishes: Whelk salad with buckwheat noodles, steak tartare, pancake, japchae, sablefish, DMZ stew, fried tofu, sliders, paella Read more
Harish HoonJune 5, 2015
Amazing pork bun slider. Great cocktails to help things go down.
David HuMay 9, 2014
Tapas place, so small portions for the price, but delicious nonetheless. Get the sablefish and the sliders!
Thea RodgersNovember 3, 2013
Prepare to wait at least an hour- worth the wait! Pork buns, garlic honey wings, calamari, kimchi spam fried rice

Danji just gets better and better with each visit. Last meal was a hit. Ask for Bondagi (it's a dish that is typically st. food in Korea), but chef takes it to another level.
Dan SchwartzJuly 11, 2012
Get the Spicy Ginger Margarita and Kimchee bacon paella (with the egg of course)
jon nguyenJune 1, 2013
Try the Spicy Whelk Salad With Buckwheat Noodles - ooooh its about to get serious! whelks at a korean joint with cold noodles...this is serious shit!
Natalie BergmanJuly 5, 2017
The beef bulgogi sliders are tiny works of perfection.
Anne Mai BertelsenMay 10, 2012

In addition to my fans (spicy yellowtail, bulgogi and pork belly sliders, try the tofu with ginger sauce. It is amazing!
Khalil ibitefoodAugust 27, 2014

Steak tartar, bulgolgi sliders, yellowtail sashimi, & spicy fried chicken. Good for two people, perfect meal. Do it now!!!
Samara TrillingMarch 1, 2015
The spicy octopus is good and the drinks are not too sweet, which is great. Tiny, scene-y and always crowded
Khalil ibitefoodAugust 27, 2014
Amazing tofu and chicken wings . Great spices and flavor
Maggie SheldonApril 19, 2016
Pork belly sliders and the tofu appetizer are delicious. I enjoyed the sangria, too!
jon nguyenJune 1, 2013
Try the Bulgogi Beef Sliders - yea...and then this happened...words not necessary so just stare and keep the drool from ruining that shirt ur wearing
Elaine SMay 24, 2013
Most exquisite Korean food I've tried punto. The scallion pancakes, the K.F.C chicken wings, the kimchi... ahhh so good
Ben MackeyAugust 9, 2014
They have makgeolli - Korean unfiltered rice beer! Goes really well with Korean fried chicken.
jury hahnJuly 27, 2011
I'm a native Korean, moved here 5 yrs ago, this place beats any of restaurants in ktwon. especially, skirt steak bbq, sliders, kimchi bacon chorizo paella
Justin ChappleOctober 2, 2013
Incredible poached sablefish! Don't be surprised if it comes out last because it's super savory. Love!
Jarel HillOctober 9, 2019
A bit pricey but the kimchi fried rice and the wings were excellent!
Cristina DinozoNovember 30, 2011
The carafe of chum churum soju is a great deal. And don't skip whatever pork belly special they've got going on--always delish!
Nitzan BNovember 9, 2019
Food was fast and was really great! Definitely good affordable Michelin restaurant
Kathy LiuJuly 15, 2016
Really flavorful and fresh Korean food. The portions are pretty small. My friend and I were still pretty hungry after our meal.
