AI-generated summary
People argue about whether this is worth it. Fans love the spicy pork and say it's homey, well executed Korean comfort food in a great room. Critics say $32 a dish gets you better food in Koreatown or Fort Lee. The banchan used to be unlimited and now extras cost $2, which annoys a lot of people.
“It was ok when I went after they opened, but the bulgogi main was incredibly, disappointingly dry—tiny portion sizing and low quality.”
“That being said the food doesn’t really wow you but it is really well executed and the ambiance was fantastic.”
“My feelings about Kisa are that it’s solid and that’s about it? I seriously thought I ordered the wrong thing or was missing something the entire I was there for lunch.”
“The mains are very very good though. The spicy pork has a smoky flavor that I've rarely tasted from other Korean establishments in the city and the spicy squid has so much flavor.”
“They got all the restaurant details down well but the food? It’s just below average home cooked meals. Go for the novelty, don’t go for the food.”
“I thought the food was decent, but as a lover of Korean food, it definitely was not worth $32, which easily became $40+ after tax and tip.”
“Loved the rotation of banchan, specifically the gimmari and jeon”
“Honestly it’s one of two of my personally least favourite Korean restaurants alongside Jeju noodle bar. The concept of kisa is a hole in the wall restaurants for cab drivers in Korea but $30-40 is insane for what you receive.”
“You go there for the ingredient quality and atmosphere and that cute free drink at the end.”
“I've tried all their main dishes and they are all really solid too. Their jeyuk is the best I've had in the States. Easily.”
“I thought everything tasted freshly prepared and very homemade in the best way possible (albeit a tad pricy). I don't think it would blow someone way, but it would definitely scratch that itch if you're craving Korean comfort food.”
“I went to Edith's last week for the bulgogi cheesesteak collab they had with Kisa. It was great”
