Odre

Odre is a really nice Korean restaurant that I feel is still a bit under the radar. It does not seem as widely known as some of the other upscale Korean restaurants in the city, but I actually think that makes it a good place to check out, especially if other popular spots are fully booked and you still want somewhere nice, polished, and thoughtfully done. The atmosphere felt sophisticated without being too intimidating or overly formal. It is the kind of place that feels elevated, but still comfortable. Price-wise, I also thought it was relatively cost-effective compared to many other upscale Korean restaurants, especially considering the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. The welcome snacks were okay. To be honest, I did not fully understand the concept or the flavors behind them, but they were interesting enough as a starting point. The spring noodles were good, and the seasonal fish gui was also well prepared. My favorite dish was definitely the bibimbap. It was so delicious and memorable, and I would come back for that alone. The only disappointing part was that we let them know it was one of our friends’ birthdays, but nothing was done or acknowledged during the meal. Of course, I do not expect restaurants to always provide something complimentary, but even a small gesture or verbal acknowledgment would have made the experience feel more special. Overall, I would recommend Odre if you want to try a nice, upscale Korean restaurant at a more affordable price point. It is not as hyped as some other places, but the food was good, the space felt refined, and it is definitely worth checking out.

I dined with my friend on 7/3/26. It ended up raining so when we got into the restaurant, we were soaked. We were welcomed in and Rina gave us some napkins to dry off a bit. I cannot speak enough of this restaurant, the vibes, the wait staff, food, drinks - the overall experience was genuinely perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The menu is a seasonal/changing course with you being able to choose 2 of your mains. When the food came out, it was perfectly timed where we weren't waiting long in between dishes. Our waitress, Rina, was super attentive, checking in on us, asking us if we needed anything, and recommending some delicious cocktails! I talked to Ives, one of the other wait staff, and they were an absolute gem to get to know and be taken care of by them. The way the staff (front and back of house) operated really made the experience memorable, we felt like everyone cared about Odre. Food wise - absolutely delicious. What a great and beautiful balance of flavors, with some notes that popped out where they needed to. Every dish we had brought different flavors that made my friend and I wanting more of every dish! We couldn't get enough of the Uni Caviar with seaweed and the Bossom. I was able to talk to Minji, the head-chef, and it was obvious they really enjoyed what they were bringing into the world. Their take on Korean dishes is refreshing in a sea of "modernization." If it were up to me, I would go back every day if I could to eat everything again, it never was tiring. The drinks that Rina recommended were absolutely fantastic. We ended up ordering around 5-6 drinks just because they were that good! The Sundried was one of my favorites. The flavors were strong, but not too much that over-powered the main dishes. They were great on their own, but complimented the food extremely well. The vibe of the restaurant is perfect for what it's doing. It's moody, a bit dim, but so warm and intimate. There were several other tables of varying sizes that were dining as well and everyone was having a great time. The service was phenomenal, every customer was being checked on and from what I could tell, the pacing of the kitchen was perfect. We ended up staying until close (about 2.5 hours) just because we were having such a great time at Odre as well as with the staff. I definitely will be back and bringing all my friends whenever I get the chance. Thank you Rina and everyone at Odre for creating such an unforgettable experience!

I came here on a seasonably cool and dry Mother’s Day for dinner at 7pm with two others. We made the reservation about 10 days in advance. It seemed like all of the tables were full so I’d recommend a reservation in advance. The restaurant decor is modern, clean, simple, and slightly elevated. I think the decor matches nicely with the vibes of the cuisine as well. The restaurant is not large but it also does not feel cramped. The menu is Prix-fixe and I’m pretty sure that is the only option with the exception of add-ons. As There is not a separate vegetarian or dietary menu. The menu is also seasonal and obviously changes frequently. We had the Spring 2026 menu. As of the date of this review the menu with no add-on is $52 per person which I thought was reasonable given the quality of the cuisine, amount of food, as well as the restaurant having a Michelin bib recommendation. Everything I ate on the menu was at least good and a few things were amazing. I thought the kimchi pie and the raw scallop salad were exceptional. The food is not typical food you’d find in Korea but rather elevated Korean inspired and themed. All of the staff at the restaurant were lovely, attentive, and professional. All the people working at the restaurant seemed happy to be there and wanted everyone to have a great experience. The pacing of the courses was also perfect. Our meal lasted about 90 minutes plus 15 minutes we had to wait four table to clear. While we waited, we were welcomed to empty seats at the bar and offered complimentary beverages. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would love to go back with every new seasonal menu. I also would recommend and want to go with anyone I knew dining here.

This may just be one of my new favorite spots in the city for prix fixe! They provide excellent value on a 4-5 course modern Korean menu. Ingredients are all super fresh and everything was delicious. They are able to accommodate vegetarians and vegans and my vegetarian version was equally well thought out as the regular menu. The service was extremely attentive, warm, and detail oriented. You can really tell that the team cares a lot. No long waits between the courses either.

I looove this place. Thoughtful tasting menu without the pretentious attitude. If you go for the summer menu right now you must get the Kimchi pie. No picture because it disappeared instantly. Flaky crispy smoky savory magic. Entree Mackerel was good but not amazing, I miss the fish they had before with dashima butter. Bossam with black garlic paste is stellar.
