Handsome RiceB-

133 E 31st St, New York, NY 10016 · Korean restaurant, Hamburger restaurant

Creative Korean lunch-box shop with standout galbi and a popular burger, but portions and consistency vary; best for quick, flavorful takeout rather than a sit-down meal.

The verdict

Handsome Rice delivers solid Korean fusion comfort food with strong galbi and burger execution and efficient, friendly counter service, earning its loyal following as a hidden gem. However, variable meat quality and portion sizes across visits, combined with tight outdoor-only seating, limit it to casual neighborhood appeal rather than reliable fine dining. Best approached as a quick, budget-friendly lunch spot where expectations align with its counter-service format.

One caveat: Inconsistent portions and meat quality; some bowls feel rice-heavy
