Hortus NYC | Where Truffle Rice Meets K-Fusion Pasta 🍝✨

Restaurant Week’s $60 steal at this Korean-Italian hotspot left us stuffed and obsessed. Here’s the carb-loaded truth: 🍽️ Course-by-Course Hits 🥗 Starters (All Winners) • Salmon Crudo = citrusy + yuzu-kosho kick. • Softshell Crab Tempura = crunchy-leg heaven. • Seafood Jewelry Box = uni + tuna + caviar = luxe bite. 🍝 Pastas (Ranked!) 1️⃣ Black Garlic Cacio e Pepe • Umami bomb (abalone + shrimp + smoked pecorino). 2️⃣ Korean Smoked Pasta • Spicy nduja sausage = fireworks. 3️⃣ Clam Chowder Pasta • Creamy but skip if lactose-weak. 🍚 Mains 🍄 Truffle Donabe (★★★★★) • Wild mushrooms + black truffle snow = rice nirvana. 🦆 Duck (★★★☆☆) • Solid but needs crispier skin. 💰 Value Verdict ✅ Portions = huge (leftovers for days). ✅ Seafood-forward = freshness guaranteed. ⚠️ Skip steak (go truffle or pasta).
