    bimimbap w bulgolgi ($24)

    Really great vibe inside - dim lighting, DJ music, bookshelf datenight trendy tables. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night and got sat outside immediately. Okay food, okay prices. cash or amex only. Perfect ambiance!

    Did a walk-in around 9:30 pm on Friday and it was packed, but we were seated immediately at the bar. Important to note that they only take cash or Amex cards! Beautiful interior design. Real plants and flowers, a mix of earthy and industrial. The ambience was fun and club-like; the music is incredibly loud though so everyone needs to shout to be heard. If a nice dinner conversation is what you're looking for, maybe skip this place. Otherwise, the food and drinks were great. We got the bulgogi burger, which was delicious and filling with a helping of sweet bulgogi on a beef patty served with crispy fries. The lychee martini and cherry highball were tasty and sweet! Ended the night with a decadent chocolate cake which had layers of chocolate mousse on cake.

    Bibimbap

    We came here with a reservation on a Saturday night, and this place was super busy. We arrived about ten minutes early, and lots of parties came in and out while we waited. When we got seated, we were told that there was a 1 hour 45 min time limit to stay. The star of the show here is the ambiance. From the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on the walls to the dark wood and the large floral centerpieces everywhere, this spot is definitely very Instagram-able. Of the food we got, our appetizers of shishito peppers with okra and beef tartare were the best. They were a good-sized portion, delicious, and well presented. For our entrées, we got the bibimbap, truffle japchae, and the bulgogi burger. The flavors for all of them were great, but not standout. The bibimbap add-on of beef bulgogi ($4 for just a few strips of meat) was a complete rip-off. They also only accept cash or Amex, with an ATM on site. Overall, I would come back again for the gorgeous backdrop and ambiance, but I wouldn't expect the best value or unique flavors.

    Mono+Mono is a really cute spot, and the Korean fried chicken? OMG -- absolutely amazing. That alone makes it worth the visit. We tried a bunch of the appetizers and honestly, they were all good. The kale salad was solid, the shishito peppers were delicious, and we shared the fried rice, which hit the spot. The prices are pretty decent, especially for the quality and portion sizes. The only downsides for me were the drinks and payment options. The cocktail I had tasted more like juice -- very light and not what I was expecting. Also, they only accept AmEx, which felt really odd since most places usually don't take it, not the other way around. That said, I'd definitely go back -- mainly for the apps and that fried chicken. Just skipping the drinks next time.

    Really beautiful restaurant with tons of plants. I got the raw beef which was pretty good and the mushroom japchae which was yummy but portions kind of small. The drink was alright. Service wasnt that great I wanted to try another drink but no one came so I paid and left.

    Kimchi fried rice + truffle japchae
    Sarah W.

    What we ordered: * korean beef tartare (3/5) * kimchi fried rice (3.5/5) * Truffle japchae (3.5/5) * Fig soju (4/5) [Taste: ] Beef tartare was pretty plain, I don't think anything about this was Korean. Truffle japchae was very fragrant smelling but nothing too special taste-wise. It's hard to mess up fried rice so it was pretty good, but tasted more like Chinese fried rice. [Service: ] You do not get what you pay for, but felt bad for the server though because there's only one other guy. [Comments: ] Tables are so squished together it's impossible for servers to move around, have someone accidentally bump into you, or not hear the conversation of the next table. Good for a vibey girls night out, bad if you're expecting rich flavoring. Also definitely not a "Korean" restaurant as they advertise, it is more fusion. A shame since the interior is very cool!

    Greeted by a very kind and welcoming host. Gorgeous interior. Not sure what the theme is but it was pretty endearing, whimsical, fitting for my autumn visit. Tried the Cococane Mojito and Blueberry Cocktail. Pretty to look at but they left a fairly bitter vegetable taste. Almost like rhubarb. The food itself is average. While I did enjoy the overall flavors, I don't know if I could say it was worth the price. I thịmk this place is worth visiting mainly for the interior and vibes. Not many places like it. From the floral touches to the vinyl bookshelf seats, this was a cozy backdrop for dinner and I was in no rush to leave.

    I took a visit to Mono For lunch and loved every second of it. Greeted as we walked in and was seated fairly quickly. Great atmosphere with great tunes playing I also enjoyed their scenery. Our waiter was good as well his drink recommendations was on the money, I'm a mojito guy he mentioned the Blueberry cocktail was tasty and well crafted. The wings were awesome hot crunchy and full of flavor. My favorite was the Bulgogi burger, juicy flavorful and tender with every bite. Definitely a 10/10.

    Burger and fries
    Jane S.

    Just try the burger! If you were thinking about it try it! It's really worth it! 10/10 recommend and I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu but for the burger as well of course! Service was very friendly and quick. And the decor was super nice! Great place to take pictures of, or even go to for a date.

    Went here for my birthday and had the best time. Great ambience. Great food. Great drinks. The waiter brought me a rose. Loved it!

    Mono+Mono is probably one of the prettier interior looking restaurant out there with flowers and decor designed very beautifully! The record bookshelf area with rotating records on top adds a warm and futuristic vibe to the entire dining experience. So if you only care about the aesthetics and instagram-worthy photos, this is the place for you! The food was where it didn't meet our expectation, especially for the price. The galbi jjim, one of my most beloved Korean dish, was the biggest let down. It came with 5 pieces but the meat was not as tender as it should be, it was a bit more tough and chewy which is not reflective of traditional galbi jjim. The porridge was also on the blander side, even though it did come with a good portion of chicken. The truffle japchae was very flavorful, but the lack of meat made the dish overly simplistic in terms of flavor and texture. The best items we got though had to be the clam chowder and fried chicken wings. The clam chowder was so rich and intense that it paired PERFECTLY with the toast that accompanied the dish, we cannot recommend this highly enough! The fried chicken wings were perfectly crispy and moist in the inside, which is the perfect snack to pair with your cocktails or beer. The bimibap was just okay, nothing too extraordinary but didn't taste bad. Overall we had a good dining experience, even though for some reason they didn't have a record of our reservation, but it was resolved since we came early enough that there were seats available. No one asked to check-in about our food, so we didn't get the opportunity to raise our concerns. Overall, there is so much potential for Mono-Mono to be amazing, especially with its beautiful interior decor. Hope this helps them achieve the very best. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

    Mono Mono was such a beautiful restaurant! Its decor and aesthetic is out of this world. Probably one of the most nicest decorated restaurants I've ever been to. The entire restaurant is decorated with honey and plants, there are also decorations of old vinyl records everywhere. The decor is absolutely breathtaking and stunning! The service was also fast and the servers were really friendly. This is a Korean American fusion spot where the food is a blend of American and Korean. The japchae was really delicious as well as the fries. It could be that it was really delicious because they just put a lot of salt in it. But none the less, the food was good and tasty! It can be a little pricey though, and the meals are around $50 for two items. You should come here for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. Price: $30-$50 Rating: 8.5/10

    A superlative experience in this come-as-you-are Korean fusion restaurant in the East Village. The kitchen provides the discerning palate with inspired plates. Ambience is warm, inviting and enjoyable. No stress, no attitude. Come. Relax. Enjoy.

I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.
