When you walk down the stretch of 32nd street between 5th and 6th avenues, one restaurant pretty much looks like then next, especially when you can’t read Korean. But there are tons of subtle distinctions that make certain restaurants stand out for Koreans and for tourists alike. Wonjo is 24-hours, has an open sushi bar, white-oak charcoal grills at the tables, and décor that is surprisingly welcoming with dark wooden tables and exposed brick walls.
