“ Ordered a sesame tofu bowl here with light dressing and half brown rice and half greens and it was so light yet very satisfying and delicious. They do not skimp on the protein my bowl was loaded with tofu and lots of veggies. Love ONGI I will be ordering from here again! ”
“ one of my favorite spots in the city to grab a healthy, quick lunch or dinner with pescatarian options that aren't bland or overpriced! my favorite base is japchae topped with salmon & shrimp, let me just say it hits EVERYTIME. the sweet & spicy chicken bites are also delish, as well as the bao buns! you really can't miss with their custom korean lunch bowls of fabulous food! around lunch time it's packed, so order ahead if you're in a rush. ”
“ Korean style bowls which are satisfying for a quick lunch ! Easy to assemble and has good choice of proteins in the pre assembled bowls ! The spicy chicken and shrimp is my go to order here , if you are going for the custom bowls and have a big appetite go for the large bowls as the portions for the medium ones are a little less compared to similar joints !! My fav sauces are the spicy gochujang and kimchi aioli! ”
“ Great concept and execution. Korean fast casual. Chipotle style assembly line. Other great additions to the menu. Definitely a place to put into regular rotation. ”
“ Grabbed lunch from here for the first time and what a pleasant surprise! This place has such an upscale vibe at casual prices. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was healthy and delicious as expected for good Korean food. Ordering was such a pleasure - using their dry erase markers on their picture card menus. It was so easy and even fun! I will come again! ”
“ Honestly this is my favorite Korean brunch spot in midtown. Don't let the lines scare you during lunch time.m, they go by really fast. Service is always great and friendly. Ambiance, they have a few tables to sit in and they offer outlets too. They offer lemon & lime water and their condiments are always full. I would always get their custom bowls because of the different variety. My favorite one has to be their garlic shrimp and avocado. Everything is super fresh and they even have white kimchi which I was surprised about. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood! ”
“ If you're craving Korean food , fast casual style, Ongi is the place to visit! The food is fresh, filling, and feels healthy as it its a good mix of protein and veggies without a ton of oil or fried options. This time, I tried a combo of the bulgogi and the spicy pork. Both meats were tender, well cooked, and flavorful! I enjoyed the assortment of toppings as well, and discovered that I prefer regular kimchi to the white kimchi. Service was quick and efficient thanks to the white board cards used to order, and the seating area was clean and cutely decorated for the holiday season! Overall, a good spot! It is a bit more expensive than its similar large chain counterparts like chipotle or cava. ”
“ 4 stars. Korean cava is how I would describe this place. You build your own bowl and you can get a healthy balance of items that all work well together. The portion size is decent and is just enough for a lunch without feeling too heavy. I would not recommend ordering their baos though. It is a bit on the pricey side and the size of it is pretty small. The flavor of the meat here is well seasoned and all of the veggies compliment the meat well. The service is generally pretty quick and there is ample seating inside. ”
“ The food is very good, the service is quick, and the location is close to prime. It's off a side street of third so it can be missed but clearly many people have found this gem. Having banter with the workers the first time you go is a sign of a great work environment. Everything I ordered was delicious. If it want Manhattan prices and Manhattan location aka no parking and limited seating, it would be 5 stars. They even have a niesche seltzer water which I love! Shoutout 'something and nothing' brand. ”
