Cute restaurant with beautiful decor. Love the wall seating that looks like you're sitting in a library. The staff were friendly and came to check up on us a couple times through the night. My favourite dish was the japchae - it was nicely flavored and loved the mushrooms in the dish. The kimchi fried rice wasn't spicy but a bit oily for my personal preference. The wings were delicious but we couldn't tell what the sauce was and it was a bit too liquid. I really liked the White Peach Bellini cocktail so I would recommend!

I seen Mono+Mono all over Tiktok, so my guard was up when I walked in. In my experience, places that are hyper curated like this tend to lack attention to detail when it comes to the food, and I was here to GRUB. I was nervous as I walked in with my big bro, my grand big bro, and grand bigs sister. Grand big RARELY invites me to dinner, so this was a big event. This place passed the vibe check with flying colors. Little 2 seat high top tables tucked under a 20 foot wall of 15,000 vinyl records, the most beautiful floral arrangements you've ever seen, jars of fermented foods above the bar, honestly one of the best ambiances I've seen in the city. It was almost too good. My words feel futile trying to describe it. As our group was appreciating the modernist quasi-industrial interior, I said "I hope it's not just fluff to hide some mid-food... it's feelin real fluffy in here..." Right when the words left my mouth I wished I could have them back. Grand big shot me a look that I can only liken to a prime Mike Tyson in a pre fight faceoff. I knew I would get a knuckle sandwich later. We opted to share everything and ordered 12 wings (6 garlic & 6 spicy), shishito peppers, a baby artichoke, bulgogi fried rice, and 2 bulgogi burgers. I almost ordered a martini but grand big doesn't drink, that would have been strike 2. The crispy wings made me eat my words right off the bat. They were delicious. No fluff. I couldn't decide if I liked the garlic or the spicy more. The shishito peppers did their thing as well. I didn't eat the artichoke because I never understood the artichoke hype, but the rest of the table loved it. The bulgogi fried rice was GAS, but was a small portion for $22.95 if we are keeping it a buck. The burgers were the only thing that we got where my fluff meter was correct. It was eh. Although this was the first bulgogi burger I've ever had to be fair. When I come back, it will be for the wings, shishito peppers, and a couple of martinis as these drinks looked bomb. All in all, Mono+Mono should be in the dictionary next to "ELITE 2nd date spot." I'm out the game now, but fellas this should be your only 2nd date spot. I think it'd be too much for a first date, but I would always do a chill first date when I was still hoopin. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

I came here with a group of 4 this past Friday for a friend's birthday dinner! The service here was good! Food came out quick. Interior design is a vibe! mono chicken wings (half and half) - amazing, crispy, and def worth it! truffle japchae - fav dish, really good and smells even better beef tartare - decent! galbi jjim - decent! the cocktails here were very very good. your typical beloved cocktails with soju integrated, it worked really well! they also had a dj playing music throughout the whole night - which was really loud to a point where we couldn't hear each other in conversation, granted we were seated right by the speakers/dj, I'm sure the noise level is different in other places of the restaurant. i would say that is my only complaint here.

I've been to Mono + Mono a few times and I always love coming here. I tend to go during the week so I always miss the crowds. It's a beautiful restaurant and you can definitely appreciate it more during the off hours. For drinks, I always order the espresso martini. It's well balanced and on the happy hour menu. For food, I tend to go for the bulgogi kimchi fried rice as my entrée. We'll order the mono wings and shishito peppers for the table. I've tried all the desserts at some point and the coconut cake is my favourite. The portions are large considering the price point. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. Be prepared to pay with either cash or Amex.

Mono Mono has an incredible ambience inside, beautiful plants, lighting, and rotating record display. I watched a server trim and rearrange various plants for probably 30 minutes straight. We managed to snag a high top table nestled among the vinyl collection, which was adorable. Only tried the Truffle Japchae and potato wedges but both were delightful. Service was average, there seemed to be some sort of miscommunication between servers, but overall this did not detract from the dining experience. Would love to come back.

Service is a bit slow and the seating isn't as comfortable as it's pretty tight and there are no bag hooks. All three of us had to try our best to get someone's attention to get some water and our orders in. Shishito Peppers + Okra was well seasoned and textured. We finished it up before all the other dishes came out. Kimchi Fried Rice was actually pretty fire; as a Korean myself I don't really order dishes I think I can make at home but this was pretty unique and so tasty. Recommend getting that fried egg on top! Still Cash or Amex only!!
