| If you like Korean food, but could do without the bright neon lighting of many of the 32nd Street spots, head to this sleek, sexy restaurant in SoHo. The narrow dining room---a study in dark marble that makes anyone look hip---has huge square tables along one wall and a food bar overlooking the open kitchen on the other. Unlike the of-the-minute setting, the food is more or less traditional with a long menu of items for the tabletop barbecues and other staples like tender beef and kimchi dumplings; the classic scallion and seafood pancake, pa jun; and bibimbap. The black cod simmered in soy sauce is an earthy mélange of deep flavor. Other dishes include Dungeness crab and leek wrapped in spinach crêpes with a light mustard sauce, and flash fried calamari and assorted vegetables sautéed in a spicy honey chili glaze. Servers, dressed in black, tend to blend into the background making them hard to find. But, in all, dining here is a swank experience at a reasonable price. |
