I trust this restaurant 100%. I’ve been a huge fan since the day they opened. Don’t just believe the noise from the media or from a few bad-faith customers—go see it for yourself. They have a true open kitchen where you can see exactly how every dish is made. It’s incredibly clean, and nothing is hidden. You get to choose your food while watching the process. Thanks to them, I always enjoy a delicious and satisfying lunch. I truly appreciate it. I fully support this place. Go Ongi!

Today I ate a pork bao and pork dumplings at Ongi. I had eaten here one year ago when they first opened. As I was in the neighborhood I decided to come here. The food is fresh and service is quick. I was able to get a seat and enjoy my lunch. Next time I must try the bowl as it looks appetizing.

Always love coming here for lunch! Delicious and fairly priced food. It’s always clean and well kept in here. Build your own bowl or choose from their presets

I recently visited Ongi on Broadway, 37th Street in Manhattan with my parents who were visiting from Korea, and we had such a memorable experience! The first thing that caught our attention was the open kitchen setup. It was fascinating to watch the chefs create our customized bowls right in front of us. My parents really enjoyed seeing the fresh ingredients being prepared and assembled. We decided to try a few different options from the menu, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food. Every ingredient felt so fresh, from the perfectly cooked vegetables to the flavorful proteins and delicious sauces. The balance of flavors and the generous portions made it a satisfying meal for all of us. Not only was the food fantastic, but the whole experience of watching the process added a special touch to our visit. It was fun and engaging, especially for my parents who appreciated seeing how their bowls were made. As a place to enjoy fresh and flavorful Korean food in Manhattan, Onggi definitely stands out. Whether you’re with family or friends, it’s a great spot to try something different and delicious.

Very fresh food. Pick your base....rice or noodles or greens then add veggies, and protein. I had the bulgogi my wife had the Salmon. Both were excellent. Quick and very reasonable. Staff of very friendly. Great place for a quick bit. My only criticism would be music was to loud.

Went there a few times for quick lunch. The wait is only around 5 minutes, the dinning area was very comfortable too. The food was supper yummy and healthy. I kept calling this place the Korean Chipotle. Definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to eat healthy and yummy food, also doesn’t want to wait for a long time.
