Handsome Rice

This has to be the best food I've had in a while. Handsome Rice is serving up modern Korean comfort food and it's really good.I ordered the Handsome rice meal and Kim chi Mac and cheese. You get all Korean meats with this meal (Chicken, Short Rib, Rib Eye, And Pork) stacked on Korean purple rice with a salad on the side. My favorite meat had to be the rib eye. It was my first time trying purple rice and it was a really good base for this dish. The potatoes in the salad were so good. Covered in a pesto sauce and adding that refreshing taste.I love how the portions are just right and you get a healthy balance of protein, carbs, and veggies. Then the Kim chi mac and cheese was no joke. It wasn't like your average mac and cheese. I love how they mixed Kim chi within the noodles. Korean fusion executed well.They're a small shop but I love the aesthetic. Small inside then outside dining. This would be the perfect spot to eat in the spring summer.Service is on point. Shout out to the staff at Handsome Rice.

Awesome burger! Wow I took a chance on this spot because I was looking for a lettuce wrapped burger and even though it wasn't on the menu, I called and the sweet cashier told me they would accommodate that. And then comes my delivery order - a delicious and very flavorful lettuce wrapped double cheeseburger!! Made my day. The special onions they add to their burgers are really phenomenal. Fries could've used salt but I ordered the kimchee sauce for dipping and that was also fantastic.New go-to burger spot officially unlocked :)

Nice place but the food i ordered simply never arrived... a problem! Don't rely on them if you're busy or hungry

I did not want to review Handsome Rice for a long time because it's just SO good, I wanted to keep the secret to myself.All other Kalbi pales in comparison. Handsome rice's marinade, cook style and presentation are out of this world. I also love the other veggies it comes with, wish I could order just an extra side of the pickled veggies, but I always end up getting extra broccoli on the side because it is delicious too.Opt for the rice over the salad, I find the salad just arrived a wilted pile.Also the banana pudding is really good!

We were visiting from Los Angeles and wanted to try Korean food at least once while we were in NYC. After browsing on Yelp, we thought this place looked unique from the photos for the burgers and the plates. It is a small business with only outdoor seating. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and luckily it wasn't busy at all that we were able to get a seat in one of the insulated tents.The handsome burger was solid - juicy and flavorful. Fries were okay - could have been a little crispier but not soggy, at least. The meats in the handsome rice were all excellent - marinated well and juicy, and combined well together with the different flavors and textures. The sauce that came with the dish was very rich and flavorful and really complimented the meal well. My main gripe would be that the doshirak tray is very small that the meats were overflowing. This made it very difficult to actually get to the purple rice that's below the stack of meat. I would have liked to have mixed the rice, sauce and the meat with the banchan (kinda like bibimbap) but there was just no room to do that, so I had to eat a lot of the meat first before I could actually get to the rice part. Maybe I should have asked for an extra bowl so that I could throw the entire meal in there and mix together but it didn't cross my mind at the time.

Cute little place with outdoor seating but mostly geared toward takeoutService was super fast and we grabbed a spot for lunch. I can see how this would be a hit for office goers in the areaLook to spend 20 ish on average with tax. We got the galbi and spicy pork - I mean not that you can go horribly wrong with Korean flavors, this place really did a great job. The meat was nicely seasoned and well cooked. The beef gal I was esp nice. Lots of meat for the price :)The fixings were pretty good - salad, purple rice, kimchi etc No frills, to the point excellent place in short

Prices are fair and the food is delicious! Such a gem if you love a good burger or Korean fusion. Favorites are their Signature Handsome burger, Kimchi arancini and Creamy Kimchi sauce pasta. Perfect grab and go spot and there is also ample outdoor seating, covered and heated.

Uninspiring. Like others have mentioned, it's a very small burger. Sure the meat quality is good but the bun, bulky lettuce, and tomato were lacking. The Korean sauce was a boring sweetener that added nothing for actual flavor. It's a plain burger. Also noticed a chair outside was duct taped and missing a few wood slats, and a table that sank because it was missing some screws. Did the owner just give up?

I've eaten here many times, including during peak COVID and it's delicious! The price can be a bit high relative to the portion, but the quality is great. Their galbi is delicious and juicy. I also like their kimchi Mac and cheese...I just keep wishing the portion was bigger! This place has great takeaway options and they're always friendly and nice!

Super consistent and reliable. Solid food. Good guys behind the counter. I never had anything except their burgers and sides but the rest looks good.
