A Korean joint based only a short stroll from Lexington Avenue, Handsome Rice was founded by celebrated chef Hansong Kim. Kim has made several TV appearances, boasts Korean and American culinary awards, and received honours for his cookbook.
At Handsome Rise, the restaurant's menu is inspired by dosirak (Korean-style lunchbox, similar to Japanese bento), so you can expect to nibble on leafy, seasonal salads with small batch sauces, a wide array of vegetables, grilled meats and marinated dishes. Handsome Rice also has various off-site catering options, including weddings, office parties and family gatherings.
