Try the Soy Poached Sablefish with Spicy Daikon and Yu Choy! Sustainably sourced, high in omega-3s and tastes absolutely amazing. Read more

Tapas twist on classic Korean dishes. Super great execution, friendly staff and owner, and lovely ambiance.
Paul LomaxSeptember 6, 2013
Everything we ordered was great. Definitely get the tofu starter, it's surprisingly amazing. Big fan of the fried chicken too.
Kelsey✨October 7, 2017
Small space, so arrive early to snag a table during the lunchtime rush, and order the poke bibimbap bowl
Emily HaOctober 11, 2011
Recommend their tofu w. ginger scallion dressing, honey garlic wings and bulgogi beef sliders, and kimchi bacon chorizo ‘paella’.

Danji in Hell's Kitchen brings the genuine flavors of Korea with some French influence to develop the taste, quality, & visual of each dish. The place offers small but shareable portions.

Take our advice: eat the kimchi bacon spam fried rice. They say it's for 2, but we won't judge you if you devour it all yourself!

A bit pricey but the kimchi fried rice and the wings were excellent!
Urania MylonasNovember 17, 2019
The kimchi Bloody Mary is excellent! Also they are definitely open on Sundays—Foursquare you should correct that.
Jack HarrisonSeptember 23, 2014
Get a range of dishes to share - the bossam in particular is incredible, (bitesize pork belly & kimchi cabbage wraps).
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
The variety of sliders are always a popular choice. The spicy pork belly and the bulgogi beef are some faves
Inga BarchanAugust 16, 2014
Try everything! If you have to choose, go for the pancake, but try not to miss out on the fish, tofu, you name it...

Best Korean around. Never had a dish I didn't love here. Show up early, it's small and fills up fast!
Mark MunroJune 12, 2015
Kimchi bacon fried rice and chicken wings are superb. It's sort of tiny, but the flavors make a lasting impressions, particularly the wings.
Thomas MoAugust 17, 2014
Two dishes per person is a good portion. Spicy kfc wings, bulgolgi sliders and kimchi bacon paella are musts.
Michael LaMasaAugust 12, 2014
Can get pricy, but worth it. Small and intimate. Delicious food. The spare rib is to die for!

Recommended dish: The Whelk Salad with Buckwheat Noodles is not only delicious, but is also officially SPE-certified. Read more

We got lunch special and the soup was very tasty. Service was also good. Very happy with experience will be coming back soon
Daniel SultanMay 27, 2012
The Yellowtail sashimi with Kimchi is out of this world. The pancakes are a great surprise. And don't forget to get a Sangria.

I'm a native Korean, moved here 5 yrs ago, this place beats any of restaurants in ktwon. especially, skirt steak bbq, sliders, kimchi bacon chorizo paella

Winner of Best Use of Kimchi in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Order the kimchi fried rice, but make sure to get a jidori hen egg on top!
Harish HoonJune 5, 2015
Amazing pork bun slider. Great cocktails to help things go down.
Berta CMarch 3, 2016
Great dishes especially yellowtail sashimi. Must have Hakkaisan Sake.

Start with golbaengi moochim (whelks), then thick fillets of pearly white sablefish or a tray of bo ssäm (pork belly). – Green Guide Editor

It's like a slightly refined version of Momofuku uptown. Not so big on the veggie sushi but everything else was well worth it

Steak tartar, bulgolgi sliders, yellowtail sashimi, & spicy fried chicken. Good for two people, perfect meal. Do it now!!!
Matthew RodriguezAugust 26, 2011
Technically, a Korean-fusion restaurant, but the bulgogi sliders are seoul good!! Stop by at the bar for an order of these and one of their excellent cocktails.

Danji just gets better and better with each visit. Last meal was a hit. Ask for Bondagi (it's a dish that is typically st. food in Korea), but chef takes it to another level.
Chelsea BalkanJune 22, 2014
#dubiDO #FabuLIST bulgogi sliders and spicy pork belly sliders. Two per order. Menus hidden in drawers at the table. #dubiDONT wagu short ribs are overrated and expensive for what you get.
Maggie SheldonApril 19, 2016
Pork belly sliders and the tofu appetizer are delicious. I enjoyed the sangria, too!
Nathan KamMay 30, 2012
One of my favorite stops in the city. Modern Korean fare served here in a lively setting. Food is incredible.
Samara TrillingMarch 1, 2015
The spicy octopus is good and the drinks are not too sweet, which is great. Tiny, scene-y and always crowded
Khalil ibitefoodAugust 27, 2014
Amazing tofu and chicken wings .Great spices and flavor
StonehengeNYCDecember 14, 2011
Insanely awesome Korean food with a modern twist. Midtown West's answer to Momofuku...almost? The tofu, sashimi, and bulgogi burger are not to be missed. Read more
Simon LeungAugust 10, 2014
Great date place and the pro belly was awesome. A little higher end with smaller portions but very cute!
Khalil ibitefoodAugust 27, 2014
Amazing tofu and chicken wings . Great spices and flavor
Jenny LiuMay 18, 2013
The restaurants next door must get tons of business from Danji's throwaway trim. Best al dente Soba ever (with the whelk)

In addition to my fans (spicy yellowtail, bulgogi and pork belly sliders, try the tofu with ginger sauce. It is amazing!
Thea RodgersNovember 3, 2013
Prepare to wait at least an hour- worth the wait! Pork buns, garlic honey wings, calamari, kimchi spam fried rice
Nitzan BNovember 9, 2019
Food was fast and was really great! Definitely good affordable Michelin restaurant
Elaine SMay 24, 2013
Most exquisite Korean food I've tried punto. The scallion pancakes, the K.F.C chicken wings, the kimchi... ahhh so good
Kathy LiuJuly 15, 2016
Really flavorful and fresh Korean food. The portions are pretty small. My friend and I were still pretty hungry after our meal.
David HuMay 9, 2014
Tapas place, so small portions for the price, but delicious nonetheless. Get the sablefish and the sliders!
jon nguyenJune 1, 2013
Try the Spicy Whelk Salad With Buckwheat Noodles - ooooh its about to get serious! whelks at a korean joint with cold noodles...this is serious shit!
Dan SchwartzJuly 11, 2012
Get the Spicy Ginger Margarita and Kimchee bacon paella (with the egg of course)
Valentina GregoliApril 17, 2017
Very nice design, but not authentic Korean cuisine. Nevertheless the food was good; the meat was very tasty!
Ben MackeyAugust 9, 2014
They have makgeolli - Korean unfiltered rice beer! Goes really well with Korean fried chicken.
Sakura YagiSeptember 14, 2014
Watermelon Crush is aptly named & delicious. Paella & hot wings were good but the pork sliders were our favorites.
TylerJanuary 15, 2018
Excellent shareable dishes, great short wine dish, choice ambiance.
