Restaurant Find: Danji NYC

We all have that one friend who “avoids any street between ”“ insert Midtown street numbers here – like the plague” for reasons only a New Yorker can justify. Surely, one should specifically avoid any area in midtown – especially when it comes to pickings of the culinary kind. Right? Well not quite – if you consider Danji NYC.

Venture on foot a few blocks north and west from the blinding lights and tourist foot traffic of Midtown, and you will end up at Danji. Here, industrial details flirt with minimalist elements, which are offset with a communal seating arrangement to create a homely ambience. Combining the best of traditional Korean cuisine with European influences, Danji offers a unique dining experience like no other. Chef Hooni Kim developed a mouth-watering menu of tapas style items – from bulgogi beef sliders to kimchi bacon paella – expect to be wowed by an unexpected marriage of flavors upon the first bite.
