Littlemad - New York City

I would give this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that the vibe blaring pop music. The food and plating is out of this world, but we could barely hear the server explain our dishes to us. If this is an elevated dining experience, then why am I listening to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd? I don't need to hear an autotuned artist sing about how they feel most authentic when they're high while paying that kind of bill. When your customers are adults, maybe treat them that way?

A charming little restaurant that truly impresses. We initially intended to try their restaurant week menu, but ultimately found that ordering off the menu was the better choice. I have nothing to fault; it's definitely worth a visit!

We ordered a variety of dishes: snacks, scallops, galbi (definitely our favorite of the night), mandoo, and their noodles (I can't recall the name). Everything was incredibly delicious! The service was truly at a Michelin star level; they frequently checked in and made us feel well taken care of. We would definitely order more of the galbi next time and swap out something else we got because it was just that amazing! It's the perfect date spot if you enjoy Korean fusion cuisine!

The food was fantastic! I visited during restaurant week and thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. I will definitely return to sample more items from the menu next time.

My friends and I dined here on Sunday night right at open. we ordered 6 dishes (family style) for a group of 5. In foresight we probably needed 3-4 dishes each but we weren’t exactly aware of the portions though our server did warn us in some respect. Our server(s) Alex and Eamon? were fantastic, super professional, attentive though not overbearing, pushy or rushing us. We had multiple servers taking care of everything at the table, ensuring efficiency and attention to detail.About the food itself, absolutely phenomenal, a very distinct and unique culinary experience. We had prime galbi (a huge highlight), it was super juicy and flavorful, yellowtail and tuna which were also outstanding, lobster and squid ink octopus fried rice! All were inventive, plated beautifully, exquisite, but very very small. Wish we stayed for dessert I’ve heard amazing things but we realized we needed more food and because of the limited menu, we got more dinner after.Come here for a culinary experience but maybe not to get full (unless they have a special menu) also drinks were amazing and wine selection is as it should be!
