Wow! -Yellowtail sashimi: classic and satisfying 7/10 -Pork belly: 10/10 MUST ORDER. Was perfectly cooked -Kimchi fried rice: 8/10 the egg was perfectly creamy. Menu on the smaller end but all the items I tried were so delicious. Service was quick. A little bit of a walk from the subway but def worth it. read more

All around outstanding. Modern and innovative Korean served family style. Get the tasting menu so you can share and try most of the dishes on the menu. We sat in one of the outdoor cabins which was well ventilated and covid safe. All dishes were well done but we especially enjoyed the KFC- Korean Fried Chicken! Make sure to try some soju too! read more

Danji, First Michelin Star given to a Korean Restaurant My first thought, Is this an Oxymoron? Like Jumbo Shrimp, parking in the driveway and driving on the parkway. Korean tapas? When you go to any Korean restaurant, they load you up with as many small plates or tapas to get the munch party started. Small dishes of pickles, Kimchee, noodles, they keep bringing you back more and more. Except this is a Michelin rated restaurant and the chef didn't want a typical Korean restaurant. Good call, The New York Times RAVED about Danja. I ordered both the Bossam and the Garlic Honey chicken wings. There is a chicken wing war in NYC! Bon Chon Chicken, KyoChon chicken and don't forget about Mad for Chicken. All of these places are nice but Danji is next level. Classy atmosphere and the chef is focused on greatness. I must point out, the Danji wings are very saucy. There is heat, crispiness and of course, sauciness. I needed a few finger lickin' breaks to clean up. The Bossam is laid out like a California roll. They tell you to wrap the pork belly with the cabbage wraps. Very very decadent.. Outstanding! Danji is a small, intimate and classy place that's geared for a more upscale crowd. The chef who worked at Daniel and Masa applies everything he learned to Korean food. If you're looking for something that's close to the Theatre district? Danji is your place. read more

I came here for summer restaurant week summer and thought it was a good deal given the regular menu prices. That being said, the regular menu prices are pretty absurd -- $54 for a small piece of short rib with unseasoned vegetables?? $26 for a tiny scallion pancake?? I'm all for smaller portions if the flavor delivers, but Danji lacks that extra oomph to justify its price point. Our server was also pretty rude and bluntly told us to leave because another party was waiting for our table. There was no one waiting, and there were other tables open. I understand if there's a 90 minute limit at the table (which I was not aware of), but there are certainly more courteous ways to ask patrons to leave. There are much better options for Korean food, so while my meal was overall good, this place is a skip for me. read more

Our server Nicole was INCREDIBLE. Beautiful personality - she was such a reprieve from all of this COVID madness - she made this experience feel normal, and momentarily I was able to escape the stress of the pandemic. The food was DELICIOUS. Savory & Filling. My buddy and I shared the shrimp pancakes & the beef short ribs and we were stuffed ..... and trust me WE CAN EAT - and that was more than enough! I actually had to force myself to eat the last bit, because I HATE TO WASTE FOOD. I really tried to take a better photo, but there wasn't much to see once the plates & the cocktails hit the table. I pray that places like this continue to survive & thrive in these interesting times, this is what makes NY, New York. I hope that this review was helpful! Thank you read more

Loved this place! Food is delicious--bulgogi sliders, fried tofu, sablefish with daikon radish and seafood tofu stew are my favs. Ricky was so attentive and took really good care of us. Loved the vibe--from the lighting to the really fun mix of music playing quietly in the background. Look forward to going back soon! read more

Got the $68/per person pre-fixed tasting menu since it was set and my friend and I were too lazy to look through the menu to see what we wanted to try. Also the more to try, the better! Forgot to take a picture of the menu, but we had: -Yellowtail sashimi with chive, red onions in gochujang - fresh, standard, interesting with the gochujang -Ginger scallion tofu - nice and light with subtle saltiness and a crunch from the tempura flakes and scallion on top -Seafood pancake (pajeon) - this is different from the normal pajeon as in this was a much lighter batter sort of like tempura; I liked this -Spicy korean chicken wings - ok -Bulgogi beef sliders - pretty good! Juicy beef -Soy poached black cod with daikon - initially this was too sweet and slightly salty for me, even with the rice. As leftovers for the next day when everything had time to meld, it was much better. I also added spinach because it needed more veggies since the daikon basically soaked up all the sauce and made it also sweet/salty -Trio of kimchi (cucumber, kimchi, and radish) -Noodles in black bean sauce - this wasn't part of the menu, but we wanted to try it so we ordered it; would not get this again, flavor was bland -Green tea ice cream - they gave us one scoop to share between us two, which I thought was kind of... not great. It's one scoop. The rest of the dishes, I totally understand that you can split dishes, but I'm not a fan of splitting a scoop of ice cream because it's so trivial to me. *shrug* Service was good and always had our water glasses filled. read more

Stopped by after seeing some of the rave reviews. The restaurant itself was smaller, so you should probably make reservations if you have a larger party. I went in the early evening and was able to get a seat at the bar. I ordered the Sizzling "wet" Kimchi Fried Rice with Bacon and a cocktail and a spicy ginger margarita. The margarita was equally spicy and refreshing. The Kimchi fried rice was delicious and packed with flavor. I especially loved the little crispy bits you could get from the sizzling plate. Service was great and food was amazing, 10/10 would recommend. read more

We were jonesing for some Korean and Danji delivered. Everything that graced my chopsticks was banging! We had Yellowtail Sashimi & bulgogi sliders to start. Cod and braised beef rib with rice and banchan for our main. Green tea and black sess sorbet to cap it off. The cod, dare I say, was better than Nobu's. Only regret is not trying the Korean spirits. We were drinking G&T's which was hilarious, but what can you do, it was 90 degrees out. I'm jonesing for some more Danji just thinking about this meal. read more

Went there for winter restaurant week 2022. They offer $59 pp. We got 2 appetizers, 2 main course, ice cream and sorbet and certainly they didn't worth $130. We got yellowtail sashimi and kfc for appetizers. Appetizers were good but they're similar ones in ktown with cheaper price. As for main course we got beef bibimbap and black bean noodles. After we stirred the bibimbap, we noticed the beef was missing (see picture). We informed the waitress but she insisted beef was in there then she took a look and said "ok no problem", then took the dish away. After a moment another waiter finally brought the right dish over. The waitress then came and apologize. We didn't feel comfortable as the waitress didn't believe us first. The beef bibimbap tasted below average and the pot wasn't hot enough to make the "crispy rice" at the bottom. Rice was a lot and the toppings were very little. At the end it was more like eating plain rice. Black bean noodles on the other hand was ok. Nothing special. Dessert was coconut ice cream and apple sorbet. Nothing special as well. We were so excited to try out this place but we got so disappointed. We also think this place is overpriced as we've broken down the prices of what we ordered today, and noticed we paid more with restaurant week. read more

A friend and I were looking for a nearby place to eat before a show at RCMH that is both nice and wouldn't break the bank. Enter Danji, a Michelin-recommend modern Korean restaurant with a spice-forward and veggie-centric menu. We made reservations for 6:30 and showed up right on time. The hostess let us know that we had the option for a high top table, for which we were originally reserved, or move to a "better" regular height table with the understanding that we would have to vacate the table at 7:30. I don't love being told by an establishment I am giving my business to that I am expected to leave at a specific time, but our show was at 8 so we were planning on leaving around the time they wanted us to, so we took the better table. Drinks were a hit and a miss. My friend had a spicy margarita, which she liked, but my Pink G&T was not great. It seems the tonic water was replaced with seltzer, and it was missing the citrus component. Pomegranate arils made the drink "pink" but you couldn't taste it. The food, on the other hand, was delicious! Their menu is split up according to plate size (small, medium, and large--for reference, a large is about the size of an average entree). We shared the tofu w/ginger scallion dressing, garlic honey wings, and the bacon wet kimchi fried rice. Every single dish was packed with flavor, and we polished everything off. The tofu in particular was shockingly delicious. Even my friend who isn't the biggest tofu fan, loved it. read more

I've always wanted to go to Danji and finally had the chance to visit on christmas eve. They have both tasting menu ($58 ppl) or a la carte menu. My husband and I opted to choose from the a la carte menu because The tasting menu didnt have some of the dishes that i was dying to try. Everything was very delicious and their food is definitely on the salty side which i personally love but i can see why some might feel the flavors are too strong. Out of the dishes we had I especially love the bulgogi sliders and the hamachi appetizer. The restaurant inside is very small and most tables are communal table which they fit 8 people each table. I have to say even for NYC standard it was very tight space in which I didnt enjoy, however we were lucky as the night we were there no one sat next to us so we were able to enjoy our meal better. Throughout the night they only serve one dish at a time and did not rush us which is a big plus! read more

This review is strictly based on their tasting menu: My friends and I (group of 4) got a tasting menu for 4 and it was honestly the best Korean food I've had in NYC so far, considering the portion, pricing, and variety of food. It's a modern twist on Korean cuisine yet it still preserves the traditional Korean food flavors. Nothing too extravagant or too fusion either, which I really liked. I especially liked their short rib and black code, which were the mains of the tasting menu. It was SO flavorful and absolutely delicious. I also loved their black sesame and coconut ice cream which were not too sweet but packed with flavors. Even if you are not getting the tasting menu, I highly recommend trying the ice cream from their dessert section! read more

A must try for Korean comfort food! I did the tasting menu and every dish was outstanding, no one at my table could decide which dish was the best one because everything was exceptional. The vibe is also very nice, it's a small, intimate restaurant and when you enter you truly forget about being in the center of Manhattan. The manager was also incredibly nice and thoughtful: we had to wait a little bit because our table was not ready and she offered us the first round of drinks on the house. All in all I cannot recommend it more! read more

Little Korean gem hidden off of a side street I come to when ever I'm in town. Cozy ambience, super polite and thoughtful service.

Danji - Soy-Poached Black Cod with Spicy Daikon Shrimp & Scallion Pancake with Chili Pepper - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Service was great and very attentive. We ordered the tasting menu for two and enjoyed all the dishes. The only dish that was a bit lackluster for us was the bulgogi slider. It was a little too juicy with the liquid dripping off as you picked it up and a little too salty with only had one pickle to balance. The cod is the course after and comes with a selection of pickled banchan. I wish the pickles came out with the sliders as the acid would have been great with the slider and we had more pickles than we needed for the cod. Cocktail and rice beer was delicious! read more

Made a reservation online through their website which was very easy. We did outdoor seating and had a little booth to ourselves and it had AC and a fan which was a nice touch. We got the yellowtail sashimi which was very good and one of our favorites. The tofu with scallions was also really good. The sliders, spicy rice cake, and kimchi fried rice were all okay- the bulgogi in the sliders were a little salty and the spicy rice cakes were quite a bit salty unfortunately. The kimchi fried rice was okay but our favorites were definitely the sashimi and tofu. read more

Three days a week I walk past here and everytime I say "I need to check this place out". Finally I followed through and was very happy. I came with 2 other foodies and we got the prefix tasting menu. To say it was filling is an under statement... filling, delicious, and reasonably priced. I'm not sure many restaurants can check all of those boxes. Items that came I'm the 3 person tasting menu: Wild yellowtail sashimi x6: light and refreshing appetizer to start with - makes you believe you will get great food (true) but leave the restaurant not to stuffed (not true) Tofu with ginger scallion dressing x6: medium lightness, but makes you realize you might have made a mistake thinking you wouldn't leave super full.. tofu was soft and delicious with the toppings. Some sort of pork belly with a radish wrapper x6 (didn't eat this, but other parties confirmed its deliciousness) Chicken wings x6+ believe these were soy-honey glased as opposed to spicy. They were a little slippery and a lot messy. Probably my least favorite of the tasting menu, but was prepared nicely and the sauce was good Bulgogi beef sliders x3: was like pulled beef on a tiny bun with pickles and scallions. Was really great, but starting to get full... MAINS: came with rice and a bunch of their sides Black cod: probably my favorite item of the night. I was already full at this point so this was light and delicious and perfectly cooked with a sweet soy sauce which made eme very happy Short rib: fall off the bone delicious and juicy. It was more than enough for 3 people after all the prior items. I wish I wasn't so full to enjoy more of it. We ended up taking most of this home to reheat the next day. Dessert: Three different types of ice creams (in order of preference). Green tea: my favorite and was a nice ending for the meal. Smooth and Tasted Mochi-like Sesame: tasted peanut butter-y and was really different than what I am used to. Still yum Processeco sorbet: weirdly this tasted exactly like processco but in a good way. I don't love sorbet hence why this was my least favorite but it was still good. Very very different than what I am used to though. Tldr: delicious, reasonably priced, would definitely come back here for tasting menu or a la cart. read more

This is a Korean restaurant near theater area. Good for pre-show dinner. They also have a few heated outdoor private booth. It has great space and there is heater and fan inside each booth. We got the tasting menu. It includes sashimi, fried tofu, fried chicken, pancake, beef slider, and cod fish with rice. I didn't get drinks, but we asked for hot tea. It's typical Korean barley tea. Among all the dishes, i like the fish best although i feel it can be less salty. I think it goes well with the rice. My friend likes the fried tofu which i think its also very good. We also got some kimchi as small dishes. The pancake was just ok. I think they overdid it. The beef slider was average. Nothing special. The fried chicken i probably wont recommend. We didn't finish it. For the price we paid, i think its a good value of set menu. Where you are going to find tasting menu at 60ish in manhattan with private outdoor heated booth?? And near theater area. I would recommend this place for pre theater dinner, but i may order from regular menu instead of tasting menu next time. read more

We picked Danji for a pre-theatre dinner, on the way to see Jeff Daniels in To Kill a Mockingbird. It was conveniently located near the theatre district, and it's definitely a high energy place. It's got a bunch of communal tables, and a small-ish bar; it's hard not to interact with your neighbors. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered hamachi sashimi dressed with a sriracha tinged sauce, and wisps of fried potato. The fish was fresh, and paired well with the accoutrements. $19 for 4 pieces was a bit high, but, hey, this is NYC. We then moved onto bulgogi sliders. Yum, yum, yummy! The meat was tender, juicy and sweet, and the brioche buns were properly toasted. We made them disappear very quickly. Next course (the last of our three "small" dishes; the menu is divided into "small", "medium" and "large") was the stir fried rice cakes, with a deeply savory gochujang based sauce, and slices of sautéed sausage. The rice cakes were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The entire shebang was served with a cooling dollop of Creme fraiche on top, and sautéed scallion greens. We licked the plate clean on this one. Our "medium" course was a Korean seafood pancake. It was unbelievably light; imagine the lightest vegetable tempura you've ever had, with shrimp mixed in. For me, this sets the standard for all other Korean Seafood Pancakes. Our "large" plate was black cod marinated in soy and served with a tomato/gochujang dressing. The fish was well cooked, the sauce complimented the tender flesh, and the sticky rice served on the side was an excellent foil. Danji ain't cheap eats; We left full, but the tab for two, plus one drink (a glass of their delightful soju based sangria), was $125+. They do offer a tasting menu for $55/per ... but if you are eating dinner, I'd plan on a minimum of $100 for 2 people, without drinks. However, the food was amazing, the service was fabulous, and, as I mentioned, it's close to the theatre district and they got us out in plenty of time to make the curtain. Highly recommended for Korean Food in the Theatre District. read more

Wednesday lunch for 2 at noon. Made reservations. It got busy. Super cozy place and convenient place for a weekday lunch meet around work with my friend, coming in from NJ. Lively but quiet enough to have an intimate conversation. Loved all the details of the menu drawer in the table, the wooden spoon displays and the lighting. One thing I would recommend is to have coat/bag hangers near the back tables so that they would be nearby. The chair backs are rounded so you can't hang a bag on the back of it. And during winter, I would like to hang my long coat on the wall vs the back of my chair. Food - we both ordered bimbimbap in the hot iron skillet (+$3). I wasn't too hungry but I finished the entire entree, which means it was good! I would go back to try the bulgogi sliders and have a drink at the bar for another quick lunch meet. read more

Restaurant Week Winter 2019 Review. With RW starting on a holiday/MLK Day, I thought it'd be a great day to dine out - despite the blistering cold temperatures outside, and Danji seemed like a equidistant place from me and a friend I was meeting. Armed with my massive parka, I braved the elements...and my heart sort of sank when I arrived to see that the staff and many patrons were still wearing their coats...inside the restaurant. Yup...heating issues. But we were already there, already 7:30, and already hungry and cold. The service was fairly attentive, but not super helpful when it came to suggestions or recommendations. We ended up choosing: Apps: spicy 'k.f.c' korean fire chicken wings (d'artagnan organic chicken, peanuts, cilantro & pickled daikon) - the tang/spice was alright, and I liked the peanut-sprinkling, but the wings are pretty heavy on the breading and a wee bit light on the meat/size. bulgogi beef slider w spicy pickled cucumber & scallion salsa - the flavor was there, but again, wished there was a bit more substances on the beef front to justify the size of the slider bun. But tasty. Mains: kimchi bacon wet fried rice with soft scrambled egg, bossam gravy - my friend got this...and, well, it seemed a bit underwhelming. bits of bacon in rice with some kimchi and some egg on top. Oh, and this was brought out about 4 mins before my dish was due to appear. Not awkward... spicy soft tofu stew w. seafood 'busan bouillabaise' - I was freezing (and a little schvitzy from the wings, so then doubly cold), so I had to go for this. It was served up hot (thank god) and hearty - good amount of tofu with a moderate amount of seafood (primarily shrimp). Dessert: Ice Cream! ...lol, I sh*t you not. The only option. That said, I did sample some of the black sesame, because...when ice cream is in front of me...primal instincts take over. It was fine...but really not the evening to really enjoy it. Do I think I could have like Danji more if I wasn't freezing most of the time? Perhaps. Some of the food was rather tasty, but there were several misses too and left just feeling cheated. read more

Came here with four other people and we all got the restaurant week menu. For appetizers, we ordered the wild yellowtail sashimi, tofu with ginger scallion dressing, spicy Korean chicken wings, and shrimp & scallion pancake. For entrees, we got 4 braised black angus short ribs and 1 fresh noodles in black bean sauce. According to our server, the appetizer size is the same as the regular menu and the entree size is a bit smaller. We thought this was a great deal since the short rib itself is $52. Everything tasted great and was plated beautifully. The short rib was tender and the sauce was so flavorful I wish they gave more sauce! For dessert, we got the green tea and black sesame ice cream and watermelon sorbet. The green tea ice cream was mediocre but the black sesame and watermelon were super delicious. Although everything was yummy, I don't think it's worth the high price tag and would probably only come back for restaurant week. read more

My friend and I came for Sunday brunch as part of NY restaurant week and both really enjoyed the experience. The food and sangrias were tasty and the service was frequent and friendly. We'll definitely be back to try the non-Restaurant week menu as well. We ordered the tofu w/ ginger scallion dressing and homemade vegetable dumplings as appetizers, and each had bibimbaps for the entree. We thought the food was flavorful and had plenty of texture especially the crispy rice for the bibimbaps. The only con that I can think of is that we were originally seated at the communal table which was a bit of a tight fit. We were moved to a table upon asking, and the longer communal tables could be good for groups. read more

They are a tapas style Korean restaurant, and you can order a la carte or go for the tasting menu. Because it was our first time, we opted for the tasting menu for 3 people. The outstanding dish was the Danji braised black angus short rib. The meat really melts in your mouth and the flavor is outstanding. I still dream about the dish from time to time. This is a must-have when you come here. One item I would skip is the tofu with ginger scallion dressing. The skin had a mochi-like texture which is not what I normally expect from tofu. I felt a little nauseous after eating it. The k.f.c. has a great sauce but the meat itself was a little too fatty. The other items on the tasting menu were good but wouldn't make a special trip to have them. The exceptional short rib is what will keep drawing me back though. read more

Danji is a hole in the wall in Hells Kitchen, where you would never expect a Korean restaurant. The place is primarily made of communal high tops where the menu is hidden in the drawer. I enjoy the concept. Let's talk food. Don't expect Korean BBQ here, it's mostly bibimbap. This place reminds me of Her Name Is Han. It's the same type of simplicity done right. The food is good and so is the service. My only compliant is that the price point is a bit high for the amount of food that you receive. Overall I'll probably be back but not if I was starving that day. It's bougie Korean but in a good way. Note: I came here for lunch only. read more

Excellent food, ambience and service. Consistent over the years. Mix of traditional and modern.

This was excellent. First visit, we came with a group of four and got the bacon/kimchi fried rice, beef bibimbap, japchae noodles, two orders of sliders, spicy chicken wings, and the spicy yellowtail sashimi. We really liked everything, with the bibimbap being both my favorite and my wife's favorite, and the sliders a close second. We'd probably sub out the wings next time, especially if they have their rice cakes on the menu. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Looking for Korean food? this isn't the place. Being Korean, I unsurprisingly have an affinity for Korean food. That said I will admit that this review could be biased because of that. Long story short the Michelin star set expectations high and they were not remotely met. We ordered Honey Wings, Bulgogi Beef Sliders, and Kimchi Fried Rice. Let's start with the "best" comparatively of the 3, the Honey chicken wings. Korea fried chicken's claim to fame is the delicious sauces and impossibly crispy crust accompanied by the juicy meat inside. Unfortunately what I got was nothing like this, the sauce on the wings was insipid and lacking dimension. The chicken's crust was not crispy nor was the inside juicy, however, it was soaked in the aforementioned sauce. In contrast to the next two dishes, this was somehow good. Next, lord have mercy on us, the Bulgogi Beef Sliders is where things starting going downhill. The Beef Bulgogi inside was waaay over seasoned, think tongue numbingly salty. The mini bun was toasted but still somehow soggy. I took one bite...that was enough, I would not recommend this dish. Lastly, the kimchi fried rice was the most disappointing. Served in a cast-iron skillet I immediately had thoughts of the exciting crispy bits on the edges. But to my dismay what we got was the complete opposite. The rice was swimming in oil with a strange mixture of chorizo and pork belly. On top of the oiliness, the rice was reduced to a mushy paste making it unpalatable. What was most disconcerting about this dish was not just the lack of crispy bits, but how piping hot this food came out without it. I hate to say it but quite frankly it tasted like it was microwaved, or at least nuked then placed in a skillet. Before I end this review I want to take into account the incredible stress that restaurants are under with Covid. But the gap between my experience and what you'd expect from a Michelin starred restaurant was too great for me to not write something. Even reaching deep I regrettably can't find a compliment for this place. read more

I only really go places in the states that are organic and local, and this place lists all their purveyors and has vegan options. I came here for Father's Day dinner and my parents did not want to get the tasting menu because they thought it was too expensive (classic Asian parents) however after ordering couple things to share we actually spent the same money so do yourself a favor and get the damn tasting menu you won't regret it. We got Bibimbap, the Miso Cod, and the Kimchi Rice, as well as Rice Cakes and Chicken Wings. Portions are decent sized, they have outdoor seating since it's a small place. This place is also recommended in Michelin Guide- why I chose it. Side note- the Miso Cod was superrrrrr salty. They said on their menu they avoid ingredients with MSG, however Asian sauces such as gochujang and black bean paste already have MSG in them, unless they are making their own, it's unavoidable. Decent food, nice atmosphere. read more

Friends brought us here as their treat and I was bit concerned about the portions from my last experience here. My concerns proved to be unnecessary. We did the favorites menu which consists of 12 dishes total (9 savory, 3 dessert) for $73 a person and left feeling very full. The first course was yellowtail sashimi and it was delicious, particularly the salad it came with. The second course was tofu and scallion, arguably the best bite of the night. The tofu was very soft, breaded and served with what reminded me of a sweet chili sauce. We had two types of wings, both were tasty, the pork belly, beef bulgogi sliders (very good) and the last savory course was the bacon kimchi fried rice, short rib and black cod and miso. These last 3 dishes came with sides: kimchi, radish, cucumber, mushrooms, squid, peppers and rice. Everything was good, the only dish I would say was underwhelming was the short rib, but it was cooked properly so no complaints there. Dessert was a scoop of black sesame ice cream, a scoop of apple sorbet and a scoop of watermelon sorbet. The ice cream was good (a little too sweet for me) but the sorbet was icy and not smooth or creamy at all, although it was refreshing. The service was great, our plates were changed between dishes and our water glasses were constantly refilled. The restaurant itself is a bit tight on space, but is not too loud. After this experience I would be willing to go back! read more

Tried their restaurant week menu for lunch which is similar to their normal menu with fewer options. Got the spicy k.f.c wings and the poke dup bap. Wings were delicious with a good amount of spice! I really enjoyed that. The poke bowl was pretty standard but I did like the sauce they used. Portions are fair as well. We also made a reservation and I guess only the bar was available. However didn't look like the place was full and there were lots of empty tables while we were dining. Overall pretty decent place with intimate ambiance. read more
