Ms. Yoo — Restaurant in New York

I recently celebrated my birthday at Ms. Yoo with about 100 guests, and I could not have chosen a better venue. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Rob, the owner, truly cared about making my birthday the best it could be and even connected me with vendors, including a photobooth, and printed our a specialty cocktail menu that made the night extra special.

The staff were equally incredible—bartenders and bar backs who were attentive, pleasant, and on point the entire night. With a group that large, service can sometimes be a challenge, but they handled everything smoothly and made my guests feel taken care of.

The venue itself is stunning and in a great location. The sound system was top notch, the drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere had just the right balance of elegance and fun. All of my guests had a wonderful time and kept telling me how much they loved the space.

I also appreciate that Ms. Yoo is Filipino-owned, which made supporting this business even more meaningful to me. This was such a memorable celebration, and I’m already looking forward to hosting more events here...

I've had Ms. Yoo on my list for a while so was super excited to try! We came here at 6pm on a Friday and I was a bit surprised it was quite empty. When we got there, we were the only patrons there and during our time, 2 other parties came. Perhaps it has more of a late night crowd?

The service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and kind. There was also a live DJ at the bar

We arrived in time for happy hour and we thought overall the HH was a great deal.

For food we got: Yoo loaded fries: good! Kpop chicken sliders: the sauce was sooooo good. The chicken pieces were quite thick! Tteok n cheese (I think large?): It was good but I probably wouldn't order it again. seems a bit over priced, even at HH prices Volcano kimchi fried rice: quite the table side show. It was good (but is it worth $17?)

For drinks we got (I am not quite certain of this list): stairway to heaven, Winter sonanta, booze over flowers, the naked rage. Regardless of what exactly we got, we loved them all!

I'm really glad I tried Ms. Yoo and I would recommend...

Asian restaurants are a dime a dozen in NYC. Ms. Yoo does things a bit differently by having no individual dishes, but only shared dishes. Coming with a group of 8, this was a perfect environment as it was fun and we all got to try different plates.

My main plate was the Pork Belly Bossam which was absolutely delicious. My only regret was that I wish there was more of it. The meat was fatty in the right areas and was cooked to perfection; not too rough but also chewable. The lettuce to wrap it was a nice touch and stabilized the salty flavor the meat.

I also tried the Tteok N'Cheese, but it was pretty disappointing. The cheese just felt kind of flat.

Drinks were solid but pricy. My wallet definitely felt a bit lighter afterwards. Overall, it's a solid place to go with a few friends, but I don't know if I'll be back...
