Inventive Korean fusion with standout dishes and cocktails in a lively, tight room; delicious but pricey with small portions and noise—book ahead.
Haenyeo delivers solid food quality with inventive Korean fusion dishes and reliable, friendly service that keeps pace even during busy nights. However, inconsistent execution and cramped seating prevent a higher grade—the tight quarters and occasional quality fluctuations limit it to a strong neighborhood option rather than a destination restaurant. Worth visiting for creative cocktails and bold short ribs, but expect high prices and modest portions.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely high with modest portions; some leave less than full
