About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

HORTUS NYC, a Michelin-recognized restaurant in 2020, continues to innovate its approach to modern Asian cuisine, emphasizing seasonal dishes crafted by Executive Chef Youjin Jung.

The newly revamped menu, launched in October, further highlights Korean flavors in a modern, approachable style.

    We never made it to our reservation. Our Reservation was for 9:15pm and they said theres a 15min grace period. We arrived at the area around 9:22pm due to traffic and they called saying the kitchen will close at 9:30pm and they will not take us if you enter by 9:30pm. So if we entered the restaurant by 9:25pm we have 5min to order. I already felt rushed. And decided not to go.

    Excellent service and food. It was my friend’s birthday and a good surprise at the end was a little cake with a candle. I appreciated the gesture

    Food was very good, had the 3 course pricefix..good value, and delicious. There was a table of 6 screaming 20-somethings next to us.. but noise level was fine once they left. They now have no corkage fee, so we brought our own wine. Also they dont serve hard alcohol, so no cocktail options. Would definitely go back

    We were seated early and tried some delicious soju-based cocktails, and enjoyed our oysters and salad appetizer. The duck and cod were excellent. Bottles of wine are reasonably priced. It was our first time here and we loved the service and the food. Try it!

    WE ordered from the restaurant week menu. The service was excellent. We loved the ambience. It was early and quiet when we first got there; it did get busier and a little noisier as time went on. The choices on the menu were interesting and varied. The first two courses were presented beautifully, were unique and very tasty. The main courses were inconsistent. The rib steak was sliced, prepared as requested (medium rare), but did not have a lot of flavor. Their version of a Caesar salad was very different and unusual. I liked the dressing on top, but did not care for the very unusual pieces of romaine that were too cold and hard. The presentation was beautiful. The duck breast that one person got was delicious. A second person also had the duck breast and it was chewy.
