ONGI (109w 37th st)

came here today and was delighted by the array of choices. i came here hungry and left full for a fraction of the price. it was cheap and pretty yummy. i think the service was super efficient and i personally liked how it was that you don’t have to talk to an employee to order for those who are shy. my only concern was the herb chicken and their radish kimchi. i would advise against it as the chicken is quite dry and the kimchi is mushy with a strange tomato flavor. not very authentic at that aspect. overall they had good food for cheap prices. loved the options here and definitely will come back!

This is the standard chipotle order experience with a similar flow online. The meats (beef and seasonal pork) were decent and did not stand out much. The shrimp was slightly better, but lacks a bit of seasoning. The toppings mixed well with each other with corn / onion as the stronger taste.

Ongi serves a variety of bowls in 2 convenient sizes. I got the medium sweet and spicy shrimp with greens and noodles. It was quick and a great lunch meal. The service was good. The ambience is stylish.

Great little fast Korean. You use a marker on a laminated menu and hand it to the cashier. Food was tasty and fresh and came quickly. Moves from crowded to empty due to the efficiently. Enjoyed the Korean bbq chicken with white rice and grilled edamame etc. Was very tasty - two sizes of bowls 24 and 32 oz and I was full even with the smaller one.

Loved ONGI! The bowls are super fresh and customizable — everything tasted great and the portions were perfect. The staff were friendly and quick, and the place has a nice clean vibe.
