Hidden East Village Michelin Korean Cuisine 🌟
The restaurant’s $60 prix fixe during Restaurant Week feels like a competition to see who offers the best value, but Odre’s everyday $42 three-course menu, complete with side dishes, soup, and rice, adds up to five courses. The cost-performance ratio and dining experience are simply unparalleled. 🌆 🍅Scallop Tomato Naengchae: Thinly sliced scallops and small tomatoes blend in a refreshing sweetness, with a burst of freshness on the palate. 🍓 🌽Kong Guk-soo: The refreshing corn soup is accompanied by the subtle fragrance of soy milk, making for a perfect appetizer. 🌽 🎃Snow Crab Mandoo: Pumpkin flowers filled with snow crab shreds, and the mayonnaise carries the savory flavor of crab roe, making it an excellent dish to enjoy with drinks. 🎃 🌮Odre Taco: The presence of kimchi, mushrooms, and shredded beef is quite subtle, but the cucumber yogurt sauce ties everything together, creating a refreshing taste, though it lacks a memorable flavor profile. 🌮 🍖Galbi: The aroma of fat hits the taste buds directly, almost making you think you’re eating wagyu beef. 🍖 🦆Duck Gui: The roasted duck breast with red oil’s salty and fragrant taste is even more impressive than the Galbi. 🦆 🥣Yeolmu Bibimbap w Soup: The bibimbap with kimchi, fish jerky, and egg liquid, paired with Korean miso soup, offers a layered progression of flavors and temperatures, making it as delicious as a home-cooked meal. 🍲 🥩Jeyuk (add-on): The ultra-thin pork neck meat has a texture similar to pork cheek, and when wrapped with garlic slices and dipped in black sesame sauce, it offers a unique flavor. 🍖 #NewYork 🌃🌿
