Korean, Non-Halal
Octo Restaurant is a cavernous Korean-Chinese restaurant is still worth a visit. Especially if you work in Midtown and sometimes eat with more than two people at a time. Octo Restaurant has big, red leather booths and readily available reservations make it a perfectly pleasant place to have a group meal. Stick to regular duck, onion-heavy jajangmyeon and other small plates, like soy crispy chicken and ma-po tofu.
I dug this out from the NYC yelp reviews. Chiefeater Susan was reluctant. But I figured if we had to brave K-town, we’d be trying their most basic - perennial favourites. Such as jajangmyeon, tangusuyuk and jjamppong. Literally, translated - it’s Korean sesame noodles, sweet sour pork and seafood noodles.
Jajangmyeon - 6/10
Tangsuyuk - 6/10
Jjamppong - 6.5/10
Overall, an expected ramyeon lunch on a rainy, frigid NYC afternoon. Octo Restaurant labels themselves as Asian Fusion. However, I feel this is less a fusion, more a Korean take on Chinese cuisine. If you had Manchurian (Chinese) in India, you get the drift.
Total damage USD120 including 2 bottles of Saero.
