Mokyo, a playful way of saying Thursday in Korean. abbreviation: 목 (木, mok, “Thurs.”) Mokyo, a cozy nook in the heart of the East Village, is the sister restaurant to Thursday Kitchen, Mokyo gives an opportunity for guests to travel through their palates, across the continents, to join Chef Kay on her travels in finding new flavors from South America, Spain and other destinations to come. Understanding the inevitable loss to grandma and mom’s traditional dishes, Chef Kay has found a perfect balance of Asian twists and dishes from her travels to ignite nostalgic flavors yet something unfamiliar and pleasant with an Asian flare.
