[Pt 10] Eating at Every Michelin Guide Restaurant

Oiji Mi

🍴Food: 7.5/10

- prefix menu is unlike a lot of places because the appetizer is truly the ONLY fixed item

- you can pick between three options for each for the rest of the courses

- food may all SEEM very extravagent because of the presentation, but honestly it tastes like simplicity done well

- standout: SCALLOPS with cabbage feels so simple and is comforting, CHILI LOBSTER RAMYUN is everything you want in a cold noodle dish

- OIJI BOWL is a beautiful and luxurious couple of bites

- If I was on the hotseat I’d choose the DONUTS over the BINGSU only because you get the best of both worlds with a warm gooey donut and cold creamy icecream

- skip: SEA BASS is nothing super special, the puffed rice gets soggy fast and doesn’t add much to the dish

✨Ambience: 8/10

- modern

- nice booth options

- subtle korean influenced interior design

🤵Service: 7/10

- good

- hosts were the best

- waiters were attentive until the restaurant was at capacity

- our water glasses were sometimes empty

Oiji Mi
2025/2/27 Edited to

... Read moreDining at Michelin-starred restaurants is a dream for many food enthusiasts, and Oiji Mi in New York City exemplifies this experience beautifully. With its unique Korean prefix menu, Oiji Mi offers a distinct approach where the appetizer is the only fixed item, allowing diners to choose from an exciting array of courses. The standout dishes such as Scallops with cabbage and the flavorful Chili Lobster Ramyun showcase simplicity at its best, with flavors that flutter between comfort and extravagance. The Oiji Bowl impresses with a delightful combination of sea urchin and spotted prawn, all served over seaweed rice, making it a luxurious treat. For dessert lovers, the Chapasal Donut, served warm with a creamy ice cream, is a perfect option that beautifully balances textures and temperatures. While the Sea Bass was noted as less impressive, the overall dining experience remains captivating. Ambiance plays a crucial role in Oiji Mi’s charm, featuring modern decor infused with subtle Korean elements that create a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dinner or a special occasion. The attentive service enhances the experience, though it can waver during peak times, but the friendly hosts ensure a pleasant dining experience. For those seeking a Michelin gastronomic adventure, Oiji Mi is a treasure trove of flavors and experiences. Be sure to explore their extensive menu options and embrace the opportunity to indulge in a blend of traditional and contemporary Korean cuisine in an upscale setting.
