After a soft opening on Dec. 3, Sinsa officially opens this evening at 95 Second Ave. between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.
This Korean American wine bar is a sister restaurant to Rice Thief.
Per Instagram, Sinsa "honors traditional meals our mothers once prepared. At Sinsa, we continue this tradition by crafting a culinary experience that combines flavors from our childhood with the diverse influences of American culture through Anju — a Korean tradition of sharing small & big plates and drinks with good company."'

We first mentioned this pending arrival in April when the business received administrative approval from CB3 for a beer-wine license for the space.
Rice Thief started as a delivery service specializing in Korean crab dishes.
Some background on Rice Thief from a January post by Eater:
Richard Jang, alongside his mother, Jong Sook Jang, and girlfriend, Haiqi Yu, started the business in the fall of 2022, specializing in soy-marinated crab that's hard to find in New York, known as ganjang gejang, as well as seafood stews, and rice. The service — which has drawn a waitlist — started at his home, before relocating to a Sunnyside, Queens ghost kitchen.
Their first restaurant debuted in Long Island City earlier this year.
Hours: Tuesday - Saturday from 5-11 p.m.
No. 95 was most recently Thailand Cafe, which did not reopen following the pandemic PAUSE of March 2020.
