Always pass by & wanted to see what they buzz was about. Seems to have a lot of customers whenever I walk by. There's small seating area. You can order via a menu that you mark up with either customizing a bowl or pre-made bowls. I chose to customize my bowl. Liked how they let you chose 2 proteins. I chose the bulgogi and garlic shrimp with radish, kimchi and scallion. There are various sauces & you can choose 2 as well. I chose the Korean BBQ & sweet & spicy. The service is very quick. Meal came out nice and hot. Bulgogi was very well marinated and flavorful. Didn't taste much garlic for the shrimp. The bowl overall with the protein, toppings and sauce was good & I would order again to try different proteins. Really appreciated a hot meal on a gloomy, rainy Monday. read more

Solid fast casual spot right off the 23rd st 6 train stop. You grab a menu right when you walk in and check off your choices before handing it to the register. I got a Custom Bowl bc I wanted to try their Bulgogi Beef protein while also adding Tofu, since we can choose up to 2 proteins. I enjoyed my bowl a lot for the most part! I liked the crunchy kimchi texture with the softer beef bite. One thing I didn't love was that my bowl got quite soggy from all the sauce and toppings mixed together. While it was still tasty, it was a bit meh, so my rec would be to be mindful of the sauce and toppings additions. Minimal seating with a full counter of utensils and a water dispenser. No restroom. Would return for a fast casual Korean bowl! read more

Really solid lunch bowl. I ordered the Medium size with 2 proteins, I got the bulgogi and the chicken herbs with basically all of the toppings (why not! It's unlimited!). And got rice and noodles as base. The order definitely felt like a large. It was so overfilling that there was a rubber band keeping it closed. I definitely felt like I got a good value. Only thing is I would not recommend the chicken herbs. It was dry and terrible. But the bulgogi was excellent ! I am stuffed. I did end up eating the entire medium bowl. It was very filling and savory. Will def order again. read more

Korean build your own bowl place, for a quick lunch or dinner. Ordering is easy since you can take a menu sheet and tick off the items that you want. There's a mix of typical options like corn or cucumber, in addition to Asian ingredients like seaweed. The portion size is pretty big and ended up lasting me for two meals. Decent option if you're looking for something a little different for lunch. read more

ONGI - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This place is walking distance from my office. I was craving something that was somewhat healthy and quick. Found Ongi on Yelp. Ended up ordering the beef bowl over super greens. The meal came out super quick. I decided to eat at the restaurant so it would still be hot. The food was really good. The place is popular. When I walked in, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. After I took a seat, it stayed wall-to-wall busy the rest of the time. Still, they have a system down where no one seemed to be waiting for long. I'm definitely putting this place into my normal rotation when I'm in this office. read more

ONGI - Savory Bulgogi Bowl - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Quality fast casual Korean, great option for a quick and delicious meal in the area. Ordering in the store involves marking up a straightforward menu, choosing your base, protein, and so on. You can customize your bowl from scratch or build from a set of options for whatever is on special. I love that they offer both rice and japchae noodles, such a nice touch. I didn't notice the kimchi aioli included with my order, or else I would have asked to hold it; other than that, the dish was great, with big portions, good spice, and fresh ingredients. This spot is definitely going to become a regular destination for a hearty lunch on the go! read more

ONGI - Spicy Jeyuk Pork Bowl - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Customize your own bowl or pick from the suggested combinations. Ordering is easy and fast because you do so by checking off your items on the laminated menu/choice cards . Take it to tje counter and pay and that's it. Very efficient . The food was very flavorful and the ingredients (veggies etc) very fresh and size appropriate for easy easy. We got 3 different bowls to go. They have free fruit/mint flavored water. Bags are available at the utensil counter for you to bag yout containers. I got my 3 bowls it was alreadypacked in a bag, the employee asked it I was going a long ways and offered me a larger bag (it was pouring outside) . I declined the bigger bag as I had a tote that could carry everything. I want to mention the service my son and I received here. The guys were genuinely friendly, warm and welcoming. On a day when I was already half soaked and cold little niceties are appreciated. From the moment we walked in the greeting was so warm, like come let's take care of you and feed you. A simple gesture more establishments need to extend, this is the first impression of service. The restaurant was clean, food was great and service top tier. When I got home and unpacked the bowls I saw that they had put rubber bands around each bowl to secure them and our sauces had been plastic wrapped so they wouldn't pop apart. Our dinner was prepared with true ONGI. My son has been back 3 times already, it's always a pleasurable experience. Greta job here. read more

Walking into Ongii, you're immediately enveloped by a warm, minimalist charm--think clean lines, soft ambient lighting, and a casual yet intimate vibe. The service is impeccable--attentive, but never intrusive. The menu focuses on bold, comforting flavors with a clean, modern twist. Dishes arrive beautifully plated, but they still feel hearty and satisfying. The meats are usually tender and well-seasoned, with rich marinades that balance sweet, savory, and slightly smoky flavors. If you try any grilled items, they typically come out juicy with just the right char. The sides are just as impressive. Expect fresh vegetables, crisp textures, and vibrant flavors that complement the main dishes perfectly. The rice dishes tend to be warm and comforting, while soups or stews are flavorful without being too heavy -- perfect for lunch. Portion sizes are solid for the price, making it a great option for a casual lunch without feeling rushed or overly full. The overall food experience feels thoughtful, balanced, and satisfying -- the kind of place where you leave already thinking about what you'll order next. Special to Lala, Yvoh, Courtney and lyanel :) read more

ONGI - Soy Crispy Crispy Soy Garlic Chicken Bowl - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Great lunch option if you are looking for something fast. I stopped by before noon on a weekday looking for a quick lunch. You fill out a erasable form with dry erase marker and bring it to the register. I liked that they have two sizes for the bowl which is great because I don't want to be falling asleep at my desk. Got the smaller bowl for about $14 and change. Food is prepped quickly and bags and utensils are available for you to grab on the way out. I got the crispy chicken bowl which is their premade combo and it was good. I've had better crispy chicken but considering proximity to office and needing it to be a quick meal, this worked. I'll definitely come back and probably place an order online to pickup. Very convenient options with delicious flavors. read more

Food, service, and the ambience was all of that and a bag of chips!!! On my way to an appointment, I came out of the train station right in front of Ongi. It immediately caught my eye because of the inviting marketing that was undertaken, aside from being in a prime spot and super organized and clean. I did not have time to go in and explore, but made a mental note to check Yelp and possibly visit after my appointment. I almost forgot, but I was waiting for some time and remember to check Yelp and the restaurant menu which is my custom. So, lucky me.., the restaurant was empty (the bitter cold may have contributed to that), so I had the full attention of Chris and some of the other staff. Chris was helpful in helping me decide on a flavor of the chicken appetizer. They have three flavors which include soy garlic, salt and pepper, and sweet and spicy. He gave me a sample of the soy garlic and the sweet and spicy. We laughed over how hard of a decision it is to make, but I chose the soy garlic. I also selected bao... soy garlic (only because I've never had soy garlic chicken in a bao before), shrimp, and Bulgogi. While Chris was preparing my food to go, one of the chefs was roasting the corn that they use for the bowls. OMG!!! It smelled and looked soooo goooooooddd! Unfortunately, cannot consume corn anymore, so I felt tortured lol. Thinking back, I should've asked for one kernel LOL. Once I was home, the first thing I snacked on or the soy garlic chicken nuggets. They were tasty, not heavily breaded, and a great snack. In addition, the portion is enough for 2-3 people, so I have a snack for tomorrow as well. I'm going to make a salad with the leftovers. The bao were on the smallish side, but definitely something I would return for... whatever sauce Chris spread on the bao for the soy garlic, I want that on the shrimp when I revisit. That's not to say the shrimp wasn't delicious, but I think that it would be extra scrumptious. The Bulgogi was standard and quite tasty. Overall, it was pretty cool to find this cute place with pretty good food and great staff. read more

Hot take out for dinner last night it was delicious! Good variety of options including vegan options. I loved the glass noodles. Tofu was delicious. Can't wait to try more things read more

Unique ordering style!!! Mark a menu with your selections then give to front desk. High quality ingredients with healthy portion sizes. Plus, completely customizable bowl if you want to use the preselected bowls as inspiration for a BYO. 3 meat choices offered distinct flavor profiles for each bite.

Wow. I am a first time customer ... via DoorDash. The bowl was amazing! I got the large beef bulgogi, with all the toppings I could get - SO delicious. Will be ordering again tomorrow! read more

Loved the taste of it not the price. They are stingy with the protein. Three little shrimp make up one protein g portion and so does two tablespoons of bulgogi. read more

Absolutely my fave fast casual restaurant right now, bowls are so full and delicious. Service is fast and friendly. I can't get enough!

A great neighborhood takeout option. We had the spicy pork & garlic soy chicken rice bowls. The rice really makes it special.

I ordered a custom medium bowl and halfway through my bowl I found a rubber band in my food. It is so disgusting and unsanitary. Do not come here read more

I got the beef bugogi bowl it was so good had a soft boiled egg and the salad side which was also amazing

Surprising delicious and decently priced ! I Can't wait until I'm back in the area to have it again!

Service was great! Ordering process was seamless. If you are a first time customer, their amazing staff will help you navigate how to mark the menu & order. I particularly love their Bulgogi beef bowl & soy garlic chicken nuggets. If you are in the area, it is a must try! read more

The food was great and they played really good music! I got a beef bulgogi bowl with white rice and soy sauce.

Great flavor, super fast. Great stop for a quick lunch although there's only 3 stools so it's more of a to go/delivery spot.

Love their healthy bowls. Service is great as well! For a fast casual restaurant, this is top tier

the food is mediocre. they barely give you meat, and the salmon is so dry it's hardly edible. it looked like they scraped it off the bottom of the pan. also, there are only 3 seats to dine indoors, and their staff took up all the seats so i had to find somewhere else to eat the food i just purchased from them. very unprofessional read more

I shared my concerns with the management and received a wonderfully thoughtful response, and an invitation to come give it another shot. It is such a good feeling to see a restaurant with that focus on customer service and hospitality. It makes a huge difference and shows they truly care about customer experience and hear your feedback. I was happy to visit again. There are a ton of options to customize your order and everything I tried was great. Will definitely continue visiting. read more
