Moono NYC - Modern Korean Dining in New York City’s Koreatown | Michelin Recommended

Moono, located on East 32nd Street in the heart of Manhattan’s Koreatown, offers a modern take on Korean cuisine. The restaurant’s approach is grounded in tradition yet forward-looking, with a menu that balances familiar flavors with refined technique.

The dining experience at Moono extends beyond the plate. The bar program is a destination in itself, offering a Social Hour from 5 to 7 PM Sunday through Thursday. Cocktails like the Bae — made with Haku vodka, pear, St. Germain, and Artemisia — and the Yuza, featuring Roku gin, yuzu sake, Suze, Cocchi Americano, and Benedictine, showcase a thoughtful blend of Korean ingredients and classic mixology. A selection of Korean teas, including buckwheat and mulberry leaf, provides a non-alcoholic alternative.

Moono’s recognition in the Michelin guide underscores its commitment to quality. The restaurant’s setting is designed for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings, with a bar, outdoor seating, and private party options. Whether for lunch, dinner, or a drink at the bar, Moono presents a confident, contemporary vision of Korean dining in New York City.
