Sushi Seki [1143 First Ave. (bet. 62nd and 63rd Sts.) 212-371-0238]
Absolutely outstanding. The most unique and delicious sushi I have had in New York. I highly recommend Seki's Original Special Recipe Platter. It may be a little more expensive, but it is worth every penny for the creative combinations of fish and sauces. For those not inclined toward sushi, the Beef Negimaki is tender and tasty, and you can't go wrong with the Chilean Sea Bass. But I would still insist that sushi has to be the ticket to a splendid meal. Seki is only open for dinner, beginning at 5:30 PM, and due to the small space, you must make a reservation ahead of time if you want to eat dinner any time from about 7:00 to 9:30 PM. After that, tables and the sushi bar are often available, and amazingly the restaurant is open most nights until 3:00 AM.

Kunjip
Kunjip [9 West 32nd Street, New York; Menu]
This place was jam-packed, but once I finally sat down here, I was treated like royalty, Korean royalty. The service was extremely attentive and it seemed as if the staff did not want any of its diners to lift even a finger. I started with the Man Doo Jim (steamed dumplings), before moving onto some delicious BBQ. All the regular side dishes were on display and my favorite BBQ dish was probably the Yetnalsik Bul Go Ki. All in all, an excellent K-Town dining option.

Very good Korean BBQ restaurant in Koreatown. It's enormous and it stands out from the crowd with its waterfall up front featuring a piano player and/or a cellist on the top at peak times. Oh yeah, for food you should stick to the BBQ. I especially liked the Special Kalbi and the Miso Soup was a good starter.

Katz's Deli [205 East Houston Street, New York; Menu]
A nice place to bring your hipster friends after you hang out with them on the Lower East Side. You can bond over a corned beef on rye (overpriced, but tasty), a bowl of matzo ball soup, and maybe for the more adventurous, a tongue sandwich. Huge, well-lit, and serving beer, this legendary deli is a good late-night option.

This 24-hour Korean joint is a solid place for late night cravings in Koreatown. As always, the menu is extensive, but I recommend sticking to BBQ. With numerous side dishes and plenty of meat, you're sure to wake up in the morning not sure why you ate so much.

My go-to cheap Chinatown eatery since the sad closure of Win Hop, a Berger family staple for nearly 30 years. Try the Wonton Noodle Soup ($3.50) and any dish over rice. Beef with Broccoli is only $3.50. Typical authentic Chinatown atmosphere means gruff service and shared tables. Totally worth it.
