About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Great for creative cocktails

Ms. Yoo salutes chef / partner Esther Choi’s East-West heritage as contemporary gastropub where traditional American bar food and drink is re-imagined with authentic Korean favors, ingredients and techniques. The result is a captivating collection of dishes – snacks, small plates and large – as well as cocktails that are truly unique to the stylish Lower East Side boite.
As such, Ms. Yoo, named after Choi’s grandmother Jungok Yoo who taught her how to cook, is the culinary reverse of Choi’s mokbar eateries in Chelsea Market and Brooklyn, where authentic Korean food is infused with American accents. Still, like them, Ms. Yoo represents Choi’s ongoing campaign to encourage Americans to savor the Korean food and culture she so passionately embraces.

***Note*** Loud music after 10pm during the weekends.

Not a place for food. Drinks are overpriced and not made well. They were Very overwhelmed a with basic food order. Very cool ambiance though. Probably best for a night cap.

Went for Brunch on Saturday and it was delicious! Our waitress was attentive so we got our moneys worth of bottomless mimosas! I would definitely go back.

Watered-down Korean food. There was a DJ playing loud (and not great) music on a Tuesday at 8pm. I waited a good five minutes before I could get anyone’s attention to seat me. More of a lounge:bar than restaurant. Good for happy hour.

Came here for my birthday with a large group of 12. Staff was friendly and accommodating, food was really good and the drinks were delicious. Was a little loud and was a bit surprised to not see it more packed, but would definitely go back!
