Best Korean out of K-Town

by wisebrain

Or maybe the only Korean out of K-Town in Manhattan... Has all the essentials: bibimbop, bbq, and plenty of kimchee.

Steaming hot Korean food is served family-style at this quiet neighborhood mainstay.

In Short
Inside this longstanding Morningside Height's restaurant, sizzling portions of Korean fare arrive at tables in cast-iron pots. The atmosphere is casual: Diners share entrees amidst the restaurant's simple, quiet decor of dark wooden tables and sparse walls. The menu offers many choices, with dishes falling into stir fry, rice, casserole, noodles and soup categories. Korean barbecue favorites, like the restaurant's popular bulgogi (beef marinated in a house sauce), round out the sweet and spicy offerings.

Cheap and Easy Korean Food

by foodeater

Been here as an undergrad at Columbia and back here again even after over ten years later. I do still enjoy this place. Price is affordable comparing to those around Korea town. Food is consistently good. My servers are always nice and helpful -- could be my luck but always been treated very well. Definitely, I think you get what you pay for.

• Pros: quick, easy, cute, good services, affordable
• Cons: tight space

Can make it to Ktown then this is a gem

by nhlsammy

I get delivery from this place and let me tell ya it's fast and pretty darn good. I have had it all there from noodles, rices, meats, and veggies. It's a great fix for Upper West Korean Food.

• Pros: Upper West, Tasty, Quick Delivery

Hey guys mill is not THAT bad

by robomanic23

Mill is a great little place. You just have to know what to order. Their silk tofu casserole with seafood is usually good. Their noodle soup called "kalgooksoo" is usually good although sometimes the noodles can be overdone. Their hot stone pot rice cakes in red pepper sauce for two (also known as modeum ddukboki) is usually excellent but only fit for the experienced and adventurous or native palate. The same goes for their squid sauteed in red pepper sauce is also good (this dish is known as nakji-bokum). The service is usually quick and easy, plus its always interesting to look at the clippings and tchotchkes.

• Pros: Some dishes great, Cute ambience, Quick and easy servic
• Cons: Some dishes mediocre

not a good first impression

by msolboogie

i ate here for the first time the other night. the food was all right, but i probably won't go back. we had the mackeral (lots of bones) and the hot seafood pot. the seafood was chewy and the dish was flavorless, though the condiments are always good. the service was horrible: impatient, unhelpful and inattentive. i don't mind attitude from a server but only if i get the basic service, which i did not. the bathroom was very well decorated, though.

• Pros: nice bathroom
• Cons: , horrible service, horrible service

Worst Korean Food I've Had

by Aeggie

Unlike the former reviewer, Jacob, I have spent quite a bit of time in Korea. When I moved to the UWS to attend Columbia, I was excited to find a Korean restaurant in the area - my excitement was quickly erradicated when I ate at the Mill. The food was worse than almost any I had eaten. The Kal Bi (bbq short ribs) were tough and lukewarm, the Dok Buk Ki (spicy rice cakes) were overcooked and the remainder of the dishes we ate disappointed as well. Take the time to go to Korea Town (32nd St. area) and bypass the Mill.

rip off for students

by goondigity

Mill is probably the worst Korean restaurant I've ever been to in NYC. It is only because it is the only Korean restaurant within the Columbia campus vicinity that people, who crave Korean food, choose to dine there. The food is served in very small portions, and the prices are not worth the amount of food they serve. Expect alot of bones, not alot of meat. Anyone who knows good quality Korean food will tell you Mill has very low quality food. Not to mention the service which is unattentive, forgetful, and reluctant to refill your sidedishes.

Utterly convenient

by karma101

As a student, I'm both thrifty and picky. The Mill satiated both ends... the food was affordable, and I could eat the Bi Bim Bop, Fried Mando, and sip Lime Rickey's all day.

• Pros: convenient

Uptown Korean

by Xanthe

The lunch specials are great, the menu offers your basic authentic Korean fare. As a grad student, I used this place virtually as my extended kitchen - it's very small and cozy. I would recommend the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (assorted veg. w. beef cooked w/ rice in a hot stone pot) and Soon Du Bu (a casserole of seasoned marinated boiled tofu).
