Oiji Mi was such a delightful meal - we went for the tasting menu experience with 3-4 peoplel, which is how I recommend doing it if you can. With 4 people, you can try literally everything on their menu (you will have to double up on some items for some courses but it was pretty fun) and if you are anything like me and love trying new food and new experiences generally, this is absolutely the vibe. This was one of the best meals I've had all year - very pricey but definitely worth it as a treat. The desserts were a standout course - everything was delicious and very much worth trying and my friend and I joked that we would come back for a la carte and just order dessert. It's kind of a joke but also I would absolutely do it - it's so worth it. Some stand out courses for our group was the first course - I personally thought everything was unique and different from food you'd get elsewhere and yummy. I think my companions also liked the pork belly. I absolutely loved the fish with the puffed rice in a sauce that's almost like a soup. If you're thinking of trying this place but don't know how to decide among the various fancy places that are doing interesting things with Korean cuisine, I would recommend Oiji Mi. I would however personally recommend skipping the Oiji Mi bowl, I didn't think it was worth it but I know other Yelpers disagree. The place is also gorgeous inside and has such an interesting drink menu.

Everything on the tasting menu was so delicious. I love that you got to choose different dishes so we were able to sample a lot. The portion sizes were pretty good for a tasting menu. We were both stuffed after the 5 courses. The sea bass and sweet shrimp and uni were our favorites. Flavors meshed so well together. And they gave us a little extra cupcake as we were celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day. Service was fantastic from start to finish. We got checked on multiple times, staff were friendly, explained all the dishes, and were very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Intimate lighting, plenty of seating and room to walk around. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained as well.

I celebrated my anniversary here on a Sunday. The atmosphere is pretty chill, and service and food were great. I especially loved the lobster dish, the oiji bowl, and the donuts. Drinks were just okay. The entire experience was over in an hour, that did feel a bit rushed even for 5 courses. Overall, a great time and an enjoyable Michelin meal.

Elevated michelin star dining experience on all levels. Our server Julie guided us through the pre-fixe menu and there were not hard pushes for upgrades (we did that ourselves, thank you very much). We got seated at a booth that looked into the open kitchen, which was ideal. First course was a trio of spotted prawn, beef tartare and gyeran-jjim (think savory custard). Second course was the Bo Ssam for two. I've had this dish literally hundreds of times but this goes back to the elevated comment. Oysters for every bite, dropped onto perfectly cut squares. Third course chili lobster ramyun and Oiji bowl (sea urchin, sweet shrimp, oili, seaweed rice). Show stopping presentation. They advised me to mix it up but I refused. I like grabbing the rice and picking the toppings, per bite. Fourth course: dry aged duck and wagyu beef for entrees. As much as I thought the duck was prepared well, the wagyu was the better dish. Chapssal donuts (fried pastry with cheese inside) paired with the crème fraîche ice cream was decadent. Best dessert for the salty and sweet combination. Julie checked on us after our first bites of every dish. Our glasses never ran dry and she had a second cocktail out immediately. Cannot stress enough how great the service was. Top tier experience worth every penny. We'll be back soon to try the concept in the next room!
