Beril EsenAugust 10, 2017You leave here wishing you have tried everything on the menu. Share the deliciously spicy gnocchi (pictured), popcorn chicken, and the paella (has a good amount of seafood) for a well-rounded meal.
Jess NaldoFebruary 15, 2017Let's be real: You came here for the adult "Capri Sun," but food, you can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Faves are the avocado, tacos, kimchi paella, soft shell crab and the steak. So, everything.
Kayleigh HarringtonSeptember 27, 2016Very long wait, but you can get drinks at the cash only bar inside. The soju cocktails are fun. Would try to go back on a slower week night.

Amanda 🐼July 25, 2018i was honestly surprised at how much i enjoyed the food. try the paella, the soba, and the meatballs. dishes are tapas style so get ready to share. drinks are ~lit~ with LED ice cubes.
- Kayleigh HarringtonOctober 4, 2016Gave it a second chance. The crispy chicken, kale salad, dumplings and ugly potato were wonderful. Not a fan of the kimchi paella.
Grace MJune 12, 2017This place is awesome! - definitely order angry sweet potato, avocado, Mali tofu, truffle mac n cheese, kimchi paella!!!! And of course the drinks - lychee reach, pure Jeremy, and lemonie Anne capri
Missy MackeyNovember 21, 2021Everything is good! The truffle Mac, steak, lucky noodle and edamame dumplings are a must and the popcorn ice cream is fabulous
Nicole SchmidtFebruary 24, 2017Everything was amazing, but the crispy chicken and truffle mac and cheese were the best. Gnocchi, seafood pancake, and kimchi paella are honorable mentions. The cocktails were also so fun!
Foxxy BJune 26, 2018Look, they care; & honestly, the food’s good, too. Get the edamame dumplings to start, then the steak (ask for it piping hot). Throw the spicy noodles in there somewhere. Drinks are ok. Plates: small.
AmateurConciergeApril 4, 2017Kids come for the soju Capri Suns (which also light up and make for good insta fodder) but the Korean tapas are solid. The sides with the steak are dangerous.
Ernesto GutierrezMarch 5, 2022A gourmet tapas style korean fusion gastropub. No reservations. Place fills up quickly. Get there at 6:30pm in order to wait a reasanable amount of time for a table.
Karina EstrellaJune 12, 2018Edamame dumplings are amazing! And the Capri-sun cocktails — I was expecting them to be overly sweet, but they were great! Order the ‘Ruby the GF’ drink
Spring InésApril 15, 2018Get the edamame dumplings. FOR REAL. Also, don’t skip out on the mac and cheese, steak and of course the signature CapriThursdays (an adult caprisun)
Jess LApril 10, 2017Edamame dumplings were insanely good. Avocado starter (fresh, good flavor), kimchi paella, mapo tofu (spicy for sure) were all delicious. Service was very friendly, accommodating, and compassionate
Maggie CurtisJune 13, 2017The adult Capri suns were really good, refreshing and not too sweet. We had the truffle mac and cheese, paella, crispy chicken, and soft shell crab. I can't choose my favorite!!
Mary Ann Dizon RementillaMay 16, 2017Top picks (in order of 😛👍👏): Eel Taco, Kimchi Paella, Gnocchi, Pork Belly, and Avocado. The Capri-Thursday 💥cocktail is on the sweeter side but surprisingly refreshing.
Amanda MillerSeptember 11, 2016Incredible service, amazing reasonably priced tapas. Order the soft shell crab, truffle Mac and cheese and pork belly tacos
Parker ChambersFebruary 1, 2017Everything we ordered was awesome. This place is a standout in east village.
EileenOctober 26, 2017Get the kimchi paella (creamy and risotto-like) and the gnocchi (similar to ddukbokki). Popcorn chicken was unremarkable. Warning: the wait for 2 was ~2 hrs on a Friday night
Kelsey LMay 11, 2017Get the Korean paella. Really delicious with the cheese in it! The Capri sun like drinks are really fun too
Tim DengJune 18, 2018The paella, edamame dumpling, duck empanada, and plantains were great. Pricy but worth! Get a drink
Cuauthemoc SandovalJanuary 23, 2017The steak (!!!), korean pancake, soft shell crab, ramen, dumpling, popcorn ice cream were all great. Would skip the pork belly taco/capri sun drinks.
Jastine KhoApril 19, 2019Probably repetitive to suggest the truffle Mac n cheese but it is just SO good. 3 dishes among 2 people are enough. Delicious non-alcoholic drinks.
AshleyJanuary 25, 2018As a party of four, we ordered half the menu. My favorites of the night were the truffle mac & cheese, eel tacos, popcorn chicken, and kimchi paella.
Yami AlonsoMarch 11, 2017Simple dishes made with a great twist. Fast service and each plate comes with the waiter's explanation. Must do: crispy chicken, avocado, ugly sweet potato- AJFebruary 3, 2020Steak and Edamame dumplings were amazing! Crispy chicken and gnocchi were very good. Some drinks come in Capri sun like packaging with an LED lightbulb!
Phil TorontoApril 30, 2017Everything is excellent, but the standouts are the mapo tofu, the gnocchi and the kimchi paella
Edwina McGregorSeptember 1, 2017Everything here is beyond amazing – but the truffle mac & cheese is off the charts. The glowing cocktails are a fun touch too.
Chelsea BalkanFebruary 19, 2017#FabuLIST #DubiDO truffle mac and cheese, avocado, angry sweet potato, and edamame dumplings. Didn't love the tuna tataki or Korean pancake
Untapped CitiesJuly 18, 2018Must-tries include the Kimchi Paella and Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos with smoky gochujang, pickled pineapple, hazelnut crumbles, and scallions. Read more
Colin LeeJune 23, 2018Lines are incredibly long on the weekend (we went on weekday) Enjoyed the mac n cheese and the green tea dessert
Michael ShayefarJanuary 24, 2018Best Dishes: Truffle Mac and Cheese, Edamame Dumplings, Steak Avoid: Sweet potatoes (but the goat cheese part is unreal) MR: 9.1
Shanna NevelzJuly 9, 2017Tapas style. Come with a small group or keep coming back because everything on the menu is SO good you'll want to try it all.- Lili BazFebruary 15, 2019Everything is amazing! Definitely get the Mac and cheese and the edamame dumplings! The dumplings melt in your mouth!
Samantha 💃 LopezOctober 3, 2016Ajji Blast was my favorite. Salted Caramel Popcorn ice cream was amazing!! And light up drinks are cute.
- Stéphanie NamOctober 20, 2017The eel tacos were the favorite! Kimchi paella also delicious. Don't get the mapo tofu was awful. Super kind and attentive service.
Anson WangFebruary 5, 2017Can't go wrong here. Stand outs include truffle mac n cheese, crispy chicken, mapo tofu, kimchi paella
Krissan PattugalanNovember 1, 2017Amazing steak, dumplings and empanadas. A must go to restaurant. Cocktails are great and affordable.
Meghan McGeeFebruary 8, 2018Really cool korean tapas fusion. Order family-style. Get the mac and cheese and gnocchi- JoyceDecember 19, 2022Great beer with yuzu and asparagus with friendly service, but … def overpriced for everything else.
Mini tacos come with a ton of guac, special off menu naan is worth trying
Very inspiring mix of Korean x Spanish! The kimchi paella is unlike anything I’ve had before
Nick SaretzkySeptember 21, 2018Fun cocktails. Amazing food. I think we ate the whole menu between four people.
Jillian SussmanSeptember 16, 2017The truffle mac is truly unique - cheesy and smokey goodness. Korean chicken is bomb too.
Julia San JuanAugust 19, 2017OMFG. Mac and cheese, chicharron, even the kale salad 😛😛😛. Don't miss the matcha cake!
