My experience at 8282 perfectly represents what I love about the NYC food scene. A friend of mine was having a party on the Lower East Side and I wanted to find a restaurant where we could get a great but not too upscale dinner nearby. I checked all of my saved businesses on Google maps and 8282 popped up. I had no memory of saving this spot, but I guess I just blindly clicked that little green flag one day and hoped it would benefit me in the future. Well, future me is proud of past me, because 8282 was exactly what I had hoped for, and then some. Creative, excellent food, an equally impressive cocktail menu, wildly fast service and the bill won't hurt your wallet too much. We got to the friend's party exactly when we wanted to, and I got to rave to all who would listen about the amazing meal we'd just had.Made a reservation here at 7:30 on a Saturday night. The space itself fairly small, with probably no more than 10-12 small tables in there plus bar seating, It's very loud and chaotic, but not in a distracting or uncomfortable way. It's more like, this is the vibe, you get what you come for, sorry if you didn't do your research. Like I said, fun New York experience. We've been to a solid number of Korean fine dining spots (Atomix, Jua, Oiji Mi, etc.) so it was nice to get a relatively more casual experience.The first drink I ordered (conveniently the only drink we tried not on the online menu was a gin-based drink with aloe and tea syrup. I asked our server to explain it to me and she said it was like a martini, so I gave it a try. It ended up being more like a gimlet-style drink but not a very good one (I found it kind of watered down and flat), so I sheepishly sent it back. I virtually never do this because it makes me feel like a very bad person, but they were nice about it. My husband, on the other hand, started with the Yuja Pear Tequila Perilla (Citrus splash of yuja & pear, tequila, lime, topped with perilla & perilla oil), which I did not try but he said it was one of the best drinks he ever had. I swapped my first drink for the Oiji Dirty (Korean pickled cucumber (oiji) brine, Rockey's botanical liqueur, dry vermouth, and Gray Whale gin), which was superb and a unique spin on your typical dirty martini. For our second round, my husband got the Secret Forest (Tanqueray dry gin, Rockey's botanical liqueur, vermouth, snap pea & green chartreuse syrup, lemon, thyme) which was absolutely fabulous. I got the Miss Persimmon (Persimmon, chai tea syrup, rye whiskey, bitters), which I thought was going to be like a Manhattan but was actually shake and served up (I had weird luck with drinks). That said, it was still super tasty.Food-wise, you gotta share here. They recommend 4-5 dishes per two people, but I think that suggestion takes entree-sized dishes into consideration, because we only ordered small plates and we probably could've had one more after six. The food is creative, inspired, seasonal and fresh. Lots of bold flavors but overall, still a relatively healthy meal (obviously it depends on what you order). Eats, below:Endive Salad (Organic Belgium endive, Asian pear, yogurt, walnut, parsnip): ASuper fresh, earthy, light and sweet, love the combo of the pear/yogurt/walnut which has been done many times but in this case it was executed perfectly Tuna Tartare + Kim Bukak (4 pcs of bluefin tuna, sesame oil aioli, served on fried seaweed chips topped with uni, capers, and egg custard): A+These were total flavor bombs and one of the stunners of the night. The seaweed chips were perfect crispy/salty vessels for the incredibly delicious tunaGolden Beet & Kimchi Salad (Golden beets over gold and red beet puree, tomato kimchi, house-made burrata, pistachio, yuzu kosho vinaigrette, beet chips with green tea powder): ASimilar to my feelings about the endive salad, I think this was an elevated, super creative version of a class beet-cheese salad. The kimchi was a delightful touch and the yuzu kosho vinaigrette was light, citrusy and subtly sweet. Beet puree and beet chips made this beets three ways, yet it was not at all overkill. Mushroom Party (Grilled king mushroom, grilled maitake mushroom, rosemary panko, cashew, yogurt, mushroom puree): A+This was my other favorite dish of the night. Super flavorful, earthy, and inhale-able. Seriously, I found myself wishing we had gotten two orders of this. Littleneck Soojebi (Potato soojebi with littleneck clams, black pepper soy sauce, butter scallion, ginger, garlic): ADespite feeling wary about ordering the clams given that I don't always like them (my husband feels similarly), we really enjoyed this dish. Fresh/light but still with ample flavor/umami, and that broth was just divine. Sole: AFor whatever reason, the sole is both the only dish we got not on the online menu, and the only dish I didn't photograph. But I promise it was very good! Light with delicate flavors, it balanced out the rest of our order nicely.
