DDOBAR NYC

DDOBAR NYC is an absolute knockout. Chef Jiho Kim's spot turned our large party of nearly 20 into a seamless celebration They accommodated us like pros, rolling out an outstanding set menu that had everyone raving Flavors were incredible, layered and bold. Had some surprise specials that blew us away (that duck pastrami/sushi piece? Phenomenal) Everything tasted so damn good, fresh and precise The ice cream finale was outstanding.. creamy, perfectly balanced, light yet so refreshing Service was warm and on point the whole night. Highly recommend this spot. Excited to go back!

DDOBAR is the definition of a hidden gem! Tucked away inside Olly Olly Market, this concept comes from the talented team behind the Michelin-starred Joomak Banjum. The $55 set menu is an unbelievable steal, offering value that far surpasses the price point. It’s a massive bargain and worth far more than what’s cost. The food quality was superb, with thoughtful seasoning and presentation that truly hit the spot. Charcoal 🐶 also enjoyed here since olly olly market is dog friendly! We’ll definitely be back for the main chef tasting set

Really great experience. Took care of a big group like we were VIPs and made it feel very special. The food was fantastic with really creative choices. Definitely on the list to head back there the next time in NYC.

This is not your typical omakase experience – inspired by korean yubu (fried tofu pockets), Michelin-starred chef Jiho Kim brings a fresh perspective to the format with two inventive tasting menus at DDO BAR, all centered around yubu tarts. We chose the 13-course yubu tasting menu at $75. From the creativity and attention to detail to the use of premium ingredients, every course felt thoughtful and refined that it was hard to pick a favorite. The menu also had a good ratio of raw and cooked toppings. Most importantly, the pacing was just right—we never felt rushed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s a great spot for a casual date night or a relaxed catch-up with friends. As a bagel lover, I was impressed to see their reimagined Smoked Salmon with Everything Bagel into yubu! The Hiramasa was an indulgent bite, generously crowned with caviar for that extra touch of luxury. My friend couldn’t stop raving about the Scallop, finished with a drizzle of brown butter dashi. Moving forward to some special and unexpected toppings: The Duck Pastrami was a standout with its smoky and peppery taste. The sweet Korean Beef Tartare reminded me of bulgogi. While the Pork Belly with Mushroom Pickle, served with a piece of lettuce, felt like a playful nod to kbbq. But what really caught us off guard in the best way were the desserts. The Earl Grey Soft Serve sprinkled with sea salt might just be the BEST dessert I’ve ever had, and the portion was generous. It was rich with tea flavor even by my standard, subtly savory. Our server also surprised us with mini coconut treats. At that point, we both agreed they’ve truly mastered the art of dessert.
