Manhattan is one of the best cities to dine at, and there’s a reason why: The innovation never stops. With new restaurants opening up frequently, the options are limitless. In this video, we’ll look at five new Manhattan restaurants you must try.

Oiji Mi

First on this list is a new addition to only several restaurants that offer $100 tasting menus and certainly one of the best Korean ones.

Dishes that take from the traditional Korean cuisine while elevating the game with modern takes, such as their deconstructed bo ssam with oysters and pork belly, give you a glimpse of what to expect.

Cafe China

Although technically it isn’t new, Cafe China has been on quite a hiatus after shutting down for more than five months in 2021. Now in their new spot, they bring back old favorites alongside new entries that big restaurant fans are likely to love.

Must-tries in Cafe China are the tea-smoked duck, whole steamed fish, and other regional Chinese dishes.

Rowdy Rooster

After a successful launch of one of the best new restaurants in 2021, the management behind Adda and Semma is back with another restaurant looking to match its predecessors. Rowdy Rooster is a simpler restaurant, aiming to replicate the magic found in the streets of India, where stalls serve simple yet one of the best fried chickens in the world.

Order fried chicken at three different spice levels, and add a number of their must-try sides like their potato pakoras and masala corn.

El Quijote

Another restaurant back for a second stint, El Quijote is back after unfortunately closing down in 2018 when Hotel Chelsea renovated their building.

El Quijote is loved for its great take and dedication to Spanish favorites. No one should visit El Quijote without at least trying their iconic paella.

Little Myanmar

Last but definitely not least is Little Myanmar. As the name suggests, Little Myanmar is looking to cement itself as a reliable source of Burmese food, and it’s definitely looking that way.

Grilled skewers, vegetable dishes, and coveted goat curry are highly recommended.
