About this restaurant

Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

HORTUS NYC, a Michelin-recognized restaurant in 2020, continues to innovate its approach to modern Asian cuisine, emphasizing seasonal dishes crafted by Executive Chef Youjin Jung. With an impressive background at renowned establishments like Babbo, Del Posto, and Osteria Mozza, Chef Jung brings a unique fusion of her Korean heritage and refined culinary expertise to the menu.

Chef Jung was recruited by General Manager Suhum Jang, her lifelong friend and classmate from the Culinary Institute of America. Together, they have elevated the dining experience at HORTUS, showcasing creative dishes that blend tradition with a contemporary flair. The newly revamped menu, launched in October, further highlights Korean flavors in a modern, approachable style.

Guests can also enjoy live jazz performances every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7 PM to 10 PM without any cover charge, creating a perfect pairing of world-class cuisine and live music.

We were seated early and tried some delicious soju-based cocktails, and enjoyed our oysters and salad appetizer. The duck and cod were excellent. Bottles of wine are reasonably priced. It was our first time here and we loved the service and the food. Try it!

WE ordered from the restaurant week menu. The service was excellent. We loved the ambience. It was early and quiet when we first got there; it did get busier and a little noisier as time went on. The choices on the menu were interesting and varied. The first two courses were presented beautifully, were unique and very tasty. The main courses were inconsistent. The rib steak was sliced, prepared as requested (medium rare), but did not have a lot of flavor. Their version of a Caesar salad was very different and unusual. I liked the dressing on top, but did not care for the very unusual pieces of romaine that were too cold and hard. The presentation was beautiful. The duck breast that one person got was delicious. A second person also had the duck breast and it was chewy.

Restaurant Week menu was delightful. Eel was perfect and the cold noodle soup was a perfect balance. Portion was very large too.
