Kisa, short for kisa sikdang (also spelled gisa sikdang), or “driver’s restaurant,” is a homage to Korean diners that emerged in the ‘80s, catering to taxi drivers. Unlike “C as in Charlie”, where shots flow freely, this isn’t a drinks-first restaurant. It’s more about a satisfying meal for a good value. The follow-up restaurant – the only kisa-style diner in NYC – comes from C as in Charlie partners, David JoonWoo Yun and Steve JaeWoo Choi (who were born in Korea and moved to Atlanta when they were kids), joined by Yong Min (YK) Kim. The 36-seat spot echoes kisas in Korea, with its vintage TVs, wall-mounted fans, Korean calendars, and a coin-slot coffee machine that dispenses (in this case, free) coffee for drivers on the go. No reservations. Walk-ins only.
