Hortus NYC

Contemporary Asian Cuisine
271 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016

About

Hortus NYC started with a vision to reinvent how we approach modern Asian cuisine. You’ll quickly see how this dining experience differs from what you typically expect: a welcoming, open kitchen, a design-forward atmosphere, and menu, carefully crafted dishes you won’t find elsewhere, and that’s just the start. We’ve blended the cuisines of many countries, including China, Thailand, and Korea, to create a fresh menu that combines these flavors in a unique way. Our specialized approach extends beyond our atmosphere and dishes, too. We highlight delicious tastes while celebrating sustainable and seasonal ingredients. We can’t wait for you to experience Asian flavors in this new-American style.

The Press

“This ambitious new Asian-accented restaurant strikes an elegant tone, with bar dining, an open kitchen and a chef’s table on the ground floor, and a garden lounge and main dining room upstairs. Velvety upholstery sets the style for diners, who may opt for raw bar specialties, charcoal-grilled eggplant, Korean-style chicken stew or braised pork belly. Seasonings like gochujang, Sichuan pepper, tart plums and ssamjang, a Korean dipping sauce, are used throughout.”

Florence FabricantThe New York Times
