Liked the fusion style dishes and the flavors. Our favorite was definitely the 8282 steak and the ikura. However, portions are small so the cost is more than what I think the food is worth to be honest. Liked the ambiance of an upscale gastropub and wasn't loud inside. read more

Delicious food. If you arrive with a party of 6 you will be able to sample everything on the menu. I recommend coming with a party of four so you can try the most of their popular dishes. We are a group of three and tried two small plates and three shares, which were sufficient for us; we were not filled but happy; I would recommend ordering one small plate and one large plate per person. -Sweet Shrimp Tartare: incredible flavor with chopped ebi and a very generous size of uni, served with nori and fish skin chips; you can make your own. -Littleneck Soojebi: the broth is very rich with black pepper and a hint of yuzu flavor, I could sip that soup for days. -Chilean Seabass, wonderfully marinated and cooked. The fish is flaky and delicious. -Jiajang Bori-bap: one of their most popular dishes, including large scallops atop soysauce-flavored barley. An excellent flavor variation. -pokr Galbi: The meat is extremely soft; I normally avoid pig galbi, but this is a must-try. The inside is very small, the seats are cramped, and the indoor seating is really noisy; you have to yell at each other to have a discussion. There is a lag between plates; we were told that their kitchen is backed up. And we finished our dinner 5 minutes before the next reservation arrived, so we were rushed to pay and leave the table; we hope they could handle a little better; if we had ordered dessert, we wouldn't have had time. The service is excellent, however we felt rushed at the end because the food took so long to arrive. read more

Where to start! From start to finish, this dinner was amazing. Service was great, food was perfectly seasoned, cooked and presented for optimal indulgence. It's small inside so their sold out seats/reservations make sense. I don't even know where to begin but their drinks and food menu is top notch. If I come back, good chance we're getting one of every item on the menu. Definitely go with more ppl so you can eat everything read more

8282 was a surprising delight! I've had food at multiple Korean restaurants, including ones that are a twist on Korean pocha food. Still, this one genuinely surprised me. Nothing we ordered tasted bad, and the service was super friendly! We went on a Thursday, and it was moderately quiet around 6pm, with more folks coming in later on. My husband and I already talked about either coming for another date night or with a small group of friends. Drinks: I ordered the Banana Milk while my husband got the Gochujang Margarita. Both suited our individual tastes, and although I'm not usually a big cocktail drinker and often prefer wines instead, the Banana Milk was a perfect light drink that wasn't too sweet or too plain. Speaking of wine, shout-out to Kat for recommending a great white wine that paired perfectly with our starters! Kat also made a negroni with a twist at the request of my husband, and she exceeded his expectations. Erica additionally gave us two free shots and both were slightly sweet and easy to down. I'd come back just to hang out with Kat and Erica alone! Food: Sweet shrimp tartare: 4.5/5 Shrimp was so fresh, and the taste was great. The only thing that'd make this dish a bit better would be to have a little more shrimp. The lower ranking is because compared to the other dishes, this one didn't exactly stand out as much (although it was yummy!). I wanted the tuna tartare but my husband wanted to try something new, so given that I didn't want this dish originally, it surprised me in a good way. Cheesy tteokboki: 5/5. sooo good. I've had many variations of this and there's only so many ways to make cheesy tteokboki good, but for some reason, this one excelled! The sauce wasn't super thick and had a slight rose taste to it but also wasn't rose. Delightful. Would get again. Littleneck soojebi: 5/5. Perfect especially for a gray day. We liked this dish so much we drank the broth and didn't want to give it up. We considered even taking the broth home. L.A. Iberico Pork Galbi: 5/5 - melts in mouth. Was super tender and although the flavor wasn't new to us, it was delicious! Jjajang boribap: 5/5. My husband's favorite dish of all the other dishes. The umami flavor was chef's kiss, and the scallops were perfectly cooked. Definitely would recommend! read more

Pretty underwhelming place. My boyfriend and I celebrated our Valentine's Day dinner late because the only time available was end of February at 8282. We ordered the Tuna Tartare which I thought was comparable to Jeju Noodle's Tuna Salad. However the Fried Chicken was a let down, it shouldn't even be on the menu for $16. Ordered the Jjajang Bori-Bap which I thought was pretty oily and not as flavorful as I thought it would be. Also got a broth with kimchi dumpling and beef which I thought wasn't impressive either. This would've been so much better at a traditional korean restaurant. The only good dish we had was the Perilla Oil Pasta. It was light and refreshing. I felt good and healthy after eating it. I felt like it was something I could eat every day, the flavor was subtle but good. Price was also super fair for this, it was only $20, compared to the $16 fried chicken, this was totally worth it. read more

This is an adorable little Korean restaurant in the LES. Reservations were a moderate difficulty to get but we made them far enough ahead of time after finding the restaurant on In Kind. Like many Korean restaurants, the menu is quite meat heavy but they have a great variety of dishes. We tried the Tuna Tartare, KFC, Tteok-Bokki, and Perilla Oil Pasta. Everything was DELICIOUS! The Tuna and Tteok were the best and pasta was the least favorite but still good. We then had the Seoul Night Soju to drink, which had great notes of plum and tasted great. For dessert, we had the Injeolmi Ice cream, which was topped with PARMESAN CHEESE. This was surprisingly delicious. The only downside was that, towards the end of our reservation, a VERY loud group came in next to us. Due to the restaurant being small, their sound carried and it became almost impossible to speak to my partner anymore. I definitely want to come back and try more of the dishes in the future. Staff was also super nice, informative, and had great energy. read more

Went here a while back for a friend's birthday. The waitress was really nice and warm. She explained the menu well. The food was of the utmost quality, and I hope to visit again soon. I recommend the perilla oil noodles, scallops, and shrimp toast. They were all delicious. The food came out quickly and all together for the most part. While the seating at the bar and tables may be quite tight, it is still worth visiting, perhaps by making a reservation. The lighting in the restaurant was not too low and the place was clean and inviting. read more

The ambiance is cute and modern. The service was great - very attentive. I enjoyed most of the dishes we ordered especially the steak and perilla pasta. I didn't love the duck dish, it was duck tacos. Overall I recommend. read more

Nice spot on the lower east side. Was looking for a restaurant last minute and was able to get one on Resy. This was solid, but I thought it was too loud. We were also sat right next to the door. Usually fine, but in the wintertime it was very cold. We were frozen solid by the end of the meal. Food was very good. Pretty reasonably priced as well. We ordered the following: Korean fried chicken - very very good Octopus - great quality but I didn't really love the sauce with it. Still good, but it needed something Scallops - excellent. Perfectly cooked Sliced hanger steak - very very good. Big portion too read more

Every dish was delicious! Highly recommend the 8282 steak, little neck soojebi, perilla oil pasta, and tuna tartare. The steak is extremely tender and flavorful. The clams are chubby with a nice yuzu flavor and the broth is full of umami! The pasta is light, but fragrant. The tuna tartare is a decadent two biter. For dessert, try the injeolmi ice cream - the cheese surprisingly really works with the ice cream. The staff are very nice, giving recommendations and asking how everything is going. The restaurant is small, intimate, but very cozy. read more

Absolutely amazing food and upscale ambiance. Great spot for a celebration, date night, or night with friends. It's Korean style food served like shareable tapas. The flavors were unique Korean fusion. I loved the every dish we got - two of which were recommended by the waitress (KFC and Steak). 1) Scallops with black bean barley was unbelievable. I love black bean garlic flavor so this was one of my faves and I love seafood so it really took the cake. The scallops were perfectly tender and not chewy at all. Lee opted out of the truffle oil on top but that sounded yummy too. Overall this dish was a bit on the oily side though 2) the octopus is a customer favorite and it held up. It was also cooked perfectly and the sauce was a little spicy on the side. I probably could've don't without it though. It wasn't anything crazy special. 3) the steak was surprisingly delicious with all these small side sauces and flavors. First the steak itself was marinated in a scrumptious semi sweet sauce. Then the side of cheese mash was a really good pairing and there was a couple sweet sauces like a jam on the side too which complimented everything so well. This was a fun dish because you try out different combinations. 4) the Korean fried chicken. This the waiter recommended but I was hesitant that it would be mid. It was very worth getting. It was just delicious with a sweeter sauce. I came her with my dad and he was amazed by the flavors. He's never had s anything like it before and he was visiting from out of town. There was a small group of 8-10 people celebrating a birthday. It's dimly lit and a bit loud so it was hard to hear, even at our 5:30pm dinner res. My dad is a bit hard of hearing so that was a bit annoying for him. The service was good though. read more

Overall, I would give this place a 4.2! The service was great, the ambiance was nice, and the food for the most part was impeccable. I shared six dishes with 3 people and we were all pleasantly full by the end (although the server recommended 6-8 dishes). The portions were also not as small as I expected which was a pleasant surprise. So I felt that it wasn't too overpriced. We got tuna tartare and kim bukak which was a strong start to the meat and my favorite menu item. The tuna was so fresh and the combination of everything had a great texture. The yuzu was slightly strong but still delicious. The octopus was super soft and the sauces/ricotta that came with it was a great pair. The perilla oil pasta was slightly bland but delicious and a dish that was great to share. The jjajang bori bap was good but not something that really stood out. It just tasted like jjajang bap but the scallop was soft and well cooked. Unfortunately, the steak and the pork were underwhelming. They were both tasty but a little too salty. The meats were very soft and while the flavors were not outstanding and special, these dishes were a great addition to the meal. I probably enjoyed the pork more than the steak (which is unlike me). Another con is that for parties of three, they don't give an option to sit at a table. They only have bar seating options. Overall, the restaurant was nice and the service was great! read more

8282 came with a lot of good recommendations so I was very excited to try it. And the food did not disappoint. My favorite is the 8282 steak. It was perfectly cooked- well seasoned and perfectly juicy. The scalloped paired beautifully with the jajang barley. And the littleneck clams were so good that I actually drank a couple of spoonfuls of the soup. The tuna tartare was an explosion of flavor. The only downside of the tartare is that I don't think the seaweed paired well with the tuna. The summer slushy (watermelon calpico slushy) was a little bit of a let down. I couldn't taste the calpico at all. It honestly just tastes like a watered down watermelon slush. The restaurant isn't that big but the vibe was modern and chic. And the service is impeccable. I will definitely come again to try more dishes off the menu read more

The vibes were immaculate here - I love food and love solo dining even more so while in NY I booked a little date night with myself at 8282. Let me tell you, I felt so welcomed walking in the door as a solo diner by who I believe is owner / co-owner / manager? She was awesome and welcomed me with the best energy. Sat at the bar; I don't drink alcohol so ordered their tea which came in a traditional tea pot. Ya girl was hungry so ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and 8282 Steak all to herself. Sea Bass cooked perfectly, great flavor. But y'all - the steak is a HAVE TO order. It was cooked to perfection. Both the sauces for each plate was drink out of a straw worthy. And yes, both plates demolished. Can't wait to be back! read more

So many of these Asian fusion restaurants are overhyped these days, but I loved 8282! For cocktails, we started with the white negroni ($20) and yuja pear tequilla perilla ($18). I highly recommend the yuja pear; tastes just like a juicy Korean pear, with a little bit of nuttiness from the perilla. As for food the Ebi Ikura Uni Tartare ($32) was a great starter. It is pricey, but that's typical for Uni. The Miso Glazed Seabass ($24) is a must-get in my opinion; so buttery and flaky! We also had the cheesy tteokbokki ($18), jjajang boribap, and LA Iberico pork galbi ($28); all were delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal but I definitely cried a little after I got the check. Clams, steak, pork were the highlight of the meal. Both the steak and pork dishes were juicy as hell, flavorful, and had a perfect soft and chewy texture. Highly recommend - we couldn't decide which one and got both, and don't regret it at all. Scallops were also juicy and good. I would come back but maybe eat some less dishes so the wallet damage wouldn't be that bad. Very cozy restaurant, tables are pretty close to each other. I did come with a reservation and had no problem getting seated immediately. read more

RATING: 9.3/10 One of my favorite meals so far this year. PRO TIP: You literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. DO GET the LA iberico ham galbi and the dakgalbi. Michelin bib gourmand 2023 and you know what they deserve it. YUJA PEAR PERILLA TEQUILA COCKTAIL Good, and the perilla def comes through but not sure it perfeclty complements the yuja pear but ineresting for sure and love to see korean flavors take a role in cocktails. LA IBERICO HAM GALBI **** We thought this was so good and tender, we almost confused it for the steak. Everything is just so thoughtfully paired together, to the buttery, delicately crunchy oyster mushrooms, deliciously seasoned gochujang, tender tender TENDER pieces of pork, and skinned, hydrating chunks of cucumber. What a great bite again and again. Get this please. CHEESY TTEOKBEOKKI If you like tteokbeokki you'll love this. Not only is the texture perfectly QQ as it were, but it has a nice heat that's cut by the cheesiness and has pieces of chicken for extra heartiness, and those korean flavors you know and love are enhanced - bold, strong flavors but doesn't taste like your every day rice cake dish. It does have quite a bit of soup though. 8282 STEAK We thought the iberico ham was tender, but so was this - really really juicy steak and huge portions. A great selection. DAKGALBI KIMCHI RICE Again, traditional korean flavors take the stage but are artfully placed in proportions that take you on a flavor journey that have you saying - yes, this is korean but wow this is on another level. you won't feel like you've been ovrercharged for something you can get cheaper. They're really doing something quite different and that's what I want from asian american places, personally. FINAL CATEGORY: EXCELLENT (terrible / bad / ok / good / great / EXCELLENT) read more

I had high expectations going into this restaurant based on a lot of the reviews I read. My friend and I ended up doing a walk in here last minute and thankfully they were able to accommodate us. There's actually decent amount of seating but definitely make a reservation if you can. We started off with cocktails that were refreshing. The server recommended ordering a few dishes and sharing family style. The first dish that came out was the boneless K.F.C. This was a great starting dish and probably my favorite out of everything we ordered. The meat was tender, the skin was crispy, and the soy garlic sauce tied it all together. The dish also comes with pickled radish like your classic Korean fried chicken to cleanse your palate. The perilla oil pasta was one of the more disappointing dishes. I was hoping that it would have more flavor and there wasn't much crab meat. In hind sight, maybe we should have added the uni for some more depth. Lastly, we ordered the 8282 steak. I expected it would take the longest to prepare but we were pretty much done with the rest of our food by the time it came out so we only took a few bites and ended up taking out the rest. I've also had much better steak at Korean restaurants so it was a bit of a let down. read more

I came here before a show at 5:30ish with my Uncle and had a fantastic meal! Their reservation system was weird since it said they were all booked up except for bar seating but restaurant was only about half filled by the time we left at 6:45PM so I'm not too sure why there weren't reservations available. The service was great with all of the waitstaff continually filling your water and they were all extremely friendly and attentive. The only issue I had with that was it seemed like they were a little on top of us and were constantly trying to take away plates before we were done and came up to us like 5 times before we weee actually ready to order so it felt a little rushed. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious which is why I'd give this place 5 stars! We shared the octopus and the Jjajang bori-bap and both were perfectly seared and paired with delicious sauces! I also got the aloe, it's me cocktail and it was so pretty and our waitress offered it to me less sweet which was perfect! We both agreed we needed to come back again to try more of the menu! read more

Fun intimate vibes for the restaurant. It is pretty dim in the restaurant. We tried the scallops with barley and the perilla oil pasta which were there best sellers. We also got the octopus (tender and flavorful) and for the dishes here they're meant for light bites and tapa style. I really liked the scallops with barley ($27) . Service was great and the servers explained the menu and drinks to us. read more

- one of the best meals either of us have had this year - my dinner companion and I were both thoroughly impressed - recommend: mushroom party, iberico pork galbi, dakgalbi kimchi bap, jjajang Bori bap - 4 dishes btw the two of us was a good amount food, we were both moderately hungry - neither of us are dessert people but were so impressed by everything else we went for it, Parm on icecream is a little weird but gave almost a coconut shred texture (he enjoyed it more than I did) - the tea party cocktail was interesting, he also enjoyed this more than I did. It was sweet and familiar almost reminiscent of a creamcicle. Not a hint of alcohol of that's your thing, truly dangerous - the waitress and vibe were both wonderful, would be good for most occasions read more

(3.5) I got the steak and octopus. It was very good but octopus was a bit spicy for me. Service was very good. I recommend.

8282's modern Korean cuisine met all my expectations! Although there were some hiccups with ordering, the food tasted just as good as it looked! Started off with the Grilled Octopus, which was super super tender but also charred very nicely on the outside. It was already well seasoned but the pepper puree and ricotta gave some extra sauce and spice. The tuna tartare featured a fragrant sesame oil dressing with a very crispy seaweed chip. The amount of tuna was great, although it had more onion/raw flavors that I had liked. The KFC had all the right flavors but the soy-garlic sauce was a little too much and quickly made the pieces soggy after the first bite. The perilla oil pasta was definitely a highlight for me! The angel hair pasta was cooked nicely and smothered in a soy/dashi-based sauce, topped with generous amounts of fresh crab meat and uni, as well as seaweed flakes. Loved the subtle sweetness of the sauce with the seafood flavors. The jjajang bori-bap had solid scallops on a bed of barley with black bean sauce, which was a novel combo for me in addition to the mushroom sauces. We initially wanted the pork galbi, but they brought us the dakgalbi kimchi-bap instead. It turned out to be quite yummy with a great balance between the gochujang, chicken, cheese, and kimchi rice. For drinks, the Pandan Paradise had prominent pandan flavors without being too sweet or artificial. The Aloe, It's Me had way more lemon flavors than aloe, but still refreshing overall. The restaurant mostly has tables for parties of 2 and 4 so might be more tight/difficult for larger groups. Some outdoor seating available as well. Staff were very nice and attentive. read more

Food was just OK. Not "very Korean" and some dishes missed the mark (hard to understand an oxtail lasagna on the menu). The reservation process was frustrating, which didn't help the experience. Overall, not planning to return. read more

Once again, this place never fails to disappoint me. The cocktails are still so yummy, all the dishes are still so good and reasonably priced esp with their good portion size, and the service is good! I love the korean music they play here. The seating is a LITTLE tight with the other tables but it's fine! It's hard to resist not ordering so many dishes and trying to fit them all in one table.. heh read more

All of the flavors were so balanced and so so good. I think the perilla pasta and scallop jjajjangbap really stuff out for me because the flavors were so punchy but cooked perfectly. The fried chicken was also amazing but I think some of the pieces were a little unevenly sauced. With the sauce though, it was very yummy. The tteokbokki was just a touch too spicy but the cheese really cut through the spice nicely. The beet salad was also a really interesting and innovative take. I only wish there were a couple of other veggie options, but I would definitely want to come back! read more

Octopus was delicious, but after a few more courses I got a sense of 'sameness'. All the dishes we had leaned heavily on the sweet-spice of gochuchang, but didn't have much else going for them. Bar seating is uncomfortable - would recommend a table. read more

Had an amazing date night at 8282 in the LES a few weeks ago! They have a small menu, so not a ton of veggie options, but enough to leave with a full and happy stomach. Golden Beets and Kimchi Salad - This was a unique fusion dish that I really enjoyed. I usually love burrata and beets anyway, but the combination of unexpected flavors was really nice. Eggplant Bulgogi Japchae - This was a new (possibly experimental?) dish and I'm not sure if it's still on the menu, but I LOVED the Japchae noodles. They were perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of spice. My meat loving husband loved the noodles so much, he asked for a side of the noodles to go with his pork, and they very kindly obliged us (on the house!). The eggplant is intended to be a little chewy, but you can ask them to cook it more if you prefer. Also, I love that this comes with impossible meat, but I would personally prefer tofu. The staff is amazing and they all seemed to genuinely enjoy working together, which made the experience that much better. Truly one of our best nights out in a long time! read more

I've been to 8282 several times and each time I had a wonderful experience. I've probably tried around 80% of the menu and each dish has been great. Stand outs for me include the ebi ikura uni tartare, fried chicken, perilla oil pasta, scallops, and pork galbi. The service was friendly. The food came out in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is a little crowded but not overly loud. During my last visit, they gave me an extra dish on the house for no explicable reason (not sure if they were giving everyone an extra dish or if it was related to my comment to the waitress that I visited a few times before). read more

Wow the flavors and textures, so good! This restaurant is quite popular so snagging a reservation on a weekend was pretty difficult; ended up with a 9:30 seating for four, but still very satisfied! Favortie dishes of the night were the oil pasta and mushroom party. The pasta had a strong flavor that goes very well with the smooth texture; I was already getting full at the time the pasta came out and I still devoured it! The mushroom party was a dish we added towards the end, the chefs got so many different texture profiles and flavors from these shrooms, yum! The service was brisk and polite, so went along well with the good food. Vibe was VERY loud though, particularly at the bar, but I think that might have been due to just one patron that night. read more

Wowza. I came back a second time and the service was on point. Got complimentary cocktail shots and also the mushroom dish. Was blown away!! The food was great again. This time, tried the rice dish and the sujebi dish. The sujebi was so good. The clams were big and the broth was flavorful. The fried rice was a little sweet but good amt of food and still tasty. The mushroom has a strong mushroom umami taste. The drinks were fun to drink - secret garden is one of the top on the list. I tried the martini but i felt the lemon was a little overpowering. I think i'd honestly prefer that drink with no lemon at all (pickle broth instead of olives). Will be back!! read more

Such a great spot! My husband and cousin came here last night for Christmas dinner! Shareable modern tapas were all flavorful and delicious. Apparently this place is famous on Tik Tok though I didn't know about that. Vibe: intimate eatery, good service, busy so make a reservation! Cocktails: I enjoyed the matcha martini, and the guys enjoyed the beer options. The real appeal: The food! I would say my favorites were the scallops, the chicken over cheesy rice, and the KFC chicken was yummy too. The restaurant gave us a complimentary steak dish which was delectable also. They also gave us two free rounds of shots, which was so kind and nice on a day where most other places are closed. Would definitely recommend and would come back ! read more

Food: 9/10 A refreshing, modern twist on korean food! You can tell there was a lot of thought put into every dish as there were layers to every bite. Combinations that I would've never thought would work together, such as parmesan with vanilla ice cream and pickled radish with lemon tasted delicious! As a foodie, I appreciated the new experience and tastes! Service: 10/10! Our server, C/Kody was so kind, patient and knowledgeable of the menu. His recommendation of the yuzu matcha magic (alcoholic) did not disappoint and left me wanting more. It's a good beginner's drink for those who love things "not too sweet." Ambience: 7/10 It's a cute date night restaurant with a dark, hip ambience. However, it did get very loud at times and they crowd the tables into a small restaurant.

L.A. IBERICO PORK GALBI (Grilled soy-marinated Iberico, ssamjang, roasted broccolini with red pepper vinaigrette): The pork melted in your mouth and the broccolini was soft and tender. The char/smokiness evoked Korean bbq. DAKGALBI KIMCHI-BAP (Gochu-jang marinated chicken over cheesy kimchi rice): full of textures like the crispy rice from the bottom of the skillet. This flavor-wise felt the most Korean of the ones we tried CITRUS CARROT DUCK: one of the weaker dishes as the sauce was a bit overwhelming and drowned out the taste of the duck. There were chunks of black pepper in the sauce that masked the other flavors. JJAJANG BORI-BAP (Seared scallops over barley mixed in black bean sauce & truffle paste): this dish was so good we re-ordered it - the scallops were perfectly cooked. Reminded me of a super elevated version of jajangmyeon. BONELESS K.F.C. (Fried chicken thigh with Korean soy garlic sauce, topped with pickled chili peppers, served with pickled radish noodles): not as crispy as I had hoped but the acidity from the radish paired really well with the oiliness of the fried chicken. TUNA TARTARE + KIM BUKAK (Bluefin tuna, sesame oil aioli, served with fried seaweed chips topped with egg custard): The nori chips had a bit of a kick to them and paired very well with the tuna tartare. It didn't have a strong tuna flavor because of the strong sesame and yuzu notes. LITTLENECK SOOJEBI (Potato & pumpkin soojebi with littleneck clams, black pepper soy sauce, butter scallion, ginger, garlic): The clams were incredibly juicy and paired so well with the chewiness of the soojebi. This dish was very yuzu forward. Would recommend requesting extra rice to soak up all the extra broth. Fun atmosphere, would visit again! read more

The service was very friendly and the Asian waitress and bartender were both very social, they were chatting with customers at the bar and even drinking shots with them, which was fun to witness. The sitting area is a bit cramped, and a few times I touched the hot bowl that the kimchi fried rice comes in, as well as got accidentally kicked by the customer seated next to me haha, so if possible, definitely call in advance and reserve a table seat for we were simply walk-ins. The clams were delightful and came in a tangy savory broth that my wife loved. The potato soojebi provided a nice mochi-like texture which helped balance the dish perfectly, so highly recommended! The LA Iberico pork galbi was good, but the texture was a bit tough for perhaps it was overcooked unfortunately. It definitely didn't melt in my mouth the way other diners had claimed, so perhaps that was a miss this time. I did appreciate our waitress offering to remake the dish for us and even though I opted to finish it as it, I still nonetheless appreciated the offer! The kimchi fried rice (dakgalbi kimchi-bap) was flavorful, but the chicken was dry despite it being dark meat, which also suggests that it was overcooked, which was another bummer. Nonetheless, I'm sure 8282 has a lot of potential for being amazing and although it was a partial miss for us this time around, I'm sure they'll continue to improve and do better next time! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: read more

Overall a decent dinner experience and wouldn't be mad if I came back but also wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Ordered the Mushroom Party (5/5- they actually use at least 4-5 different types of mushroom which was very much appreciated and the chesnut sauce/puree was delicious) and Tuna Tartare (3/5- i love anything raw seafood/tartares and I can't put my finger on it but just didn't like this dish here) to start off with. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kimchi-bap (3.5/5- some parts of the flavor was there compared to other Korean restaurants that serve this dish, and it was a good portion, but this was so sweet I contemplated on sending it back but decided to just eat it) and the Jjajang Bori-bap (3.5/5- scallops were cooked well and if the barley/sauce wasn't also ridiculously sweet I would've enjoyed this dish). The cocktails we ordered were also nothing to write home about: Miss Persimmon and Yuzu Matcha Magic. I personally had the Yuzu drink and it tasted more like yuzu with the color of matcha (I love yuzu but would have liked a more balanced cocktail). Service was great and if both my entrees weren't so sweet I probably would've rated this place slighty higher. read more
