Super good! Everything is so delicious (incl free starters)! My favourite is seafood tofu stew and seafood pancake . We were only in New York for a few days and we had dinner at Cho Dang Gol twice.

No better introduction to Korean dubu cookery than the classic soybean meal, featuring three bowls: flocculent freshly made curds , an intriguing white soybean porridge , and a fermented soybean soup . Read more

Amazing tofu stew at reasonable price for dinner - lots of delicious appetizers (like kimchi kale , raddish, dried fish , seaweed ) start w barley tea , soybean paste and ended w ginger/date tea !

Cod Roe Omelet , Japache & Fish Pancakes - So Delicious. The Spicy Galbi Jjim - Meat Was Tender & Good Mix of Meat To Fat Ratio!! Say Yes To The Tea & Rice , & Hell Yes To The Chestnut Makgeolli .

My cold-weather go-to for decent homemade tofu (free starter pp), soondubu (Korean tofu stew ), Samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup ) & banchan . Better wait times 4 a table vs. 32nd st shops.

The banchan (small plates ) are fun, the home-made tofu is delicious, the bibimbap is solid, but the glass noodles with beef & mushrooms were my favorite. They don't do reservations , so arrive early!

Soon dubu takes top billing with Cho Dang Gol's bubbling cauldrons of fresh handmade tofu , guaranteed to warm the stomach and the soul. Also noteworthy is the tender and delicately herbal Bo Ssam.

Bulgogui Jun Gol (Casserole ) scores 10. If you like the traditional barbecue try this one instead. The Kimchi and Tofu are awesome. Maybe the only authentic place to eat Korean food in NY?

Waiters were very friendly with distributing free appetizers . The food was slightly overpriced but the genuine Korean atmosphere made the dining experience authentic and enjoyable.

Excellent tofu-based dishes can be found here a little removed from the stretch of 32nd St. eateries . Try any of the soondubus, jigaes, or the crunchy dolsot bibimbap .

This is real Korean food . The fresh house made tofu is better than any store bought variety. The beef broth is high caliber. And the complimentary ginger tea is the perfect way to cleanse the pallet.

The bossam here is so so delicious. Definitely would recommend this and the makkoli.

Known for their fresh homemade tofu , this is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in New York. Order their tofu and have it with kimchi . Simple yet delicious meal.

Very good service ! Would recommend doing family style so you can try out different dishes. Definitely order one of the casseroles , it's the perfect size to share.

I really liked their banchan . Japchae and kimchi stew were both good. Got the mushroom pancake but I think seafood or kimchi would have been better

Ask for a second round of the appetizers they serve-dried fish , seaweed , kimchi etc- so good! Tofu vegetable stew was good

So good. The tofu stew is fantastic. Walk in only, go early because the waitlist gets long!

Pretty authentic Korean style tofu . The best (and probably the only) place for kimchi biji in NYC. I like the small plate of fish you get always with banchan . They also make rice in stone bowl.

One of my favorite places to have Kimchi jigae (김치찌개) here. Great comfort food during winter (or just about anytime really).

The food was amazing. The best I've had in NYC so far. There may be a bit of a wait but totally worth it. Quick service

3 different complimentary teas - 1 at the beginning, rice tea , & a spicy sweet tea at the end. ????

Can't go wrong with Bi Bim Bop but the stir-fried Tofu Trio and Dbuk Kalbi are amazing!

The fresh tofu with sesame was some of the best tofu I've had in a restaurant , and the kimchi was spectacular.

get the galbijin and anything with their delicious house made tofu and you are winning

Definitely go for the meat based tofu casseroles unless you’re dining w/ a vegan and the sesame mushroom is the only option

The tofu here is really tasty and unique. In the winter I like to get their Sam Ge Tang - chicken soup that is super medicinal.

Queues to rival Disneyland form by 7, come early. Seafood pancake is excellent, as well as bulgogi and the tofu stews . Generally exquisite Korean fare.

House made tofu ! It makes a difference. Just order dishes with tofu otherwise why are you here?

the stews are so good and big for large parties. homemade tofu is delicious. banchan is yummy.

the best bibimbap i've ever had so far! try pork bibimbap ;) +the kimchi pancake is also good! ❤️

A very vegetarian-friendly Korean restaurant specializing in fresh tofu , which is made daily.

One of the more authentic Korean places I've been to in the city , spicy pork was very solid

Kimchi Baji is really good here.

Seafood pancake was pretty good and the bulgolgi bibimbap was decent, but didn't blow me away. The stews (with super fresh tofu ) is the way to go. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

You want Korean food in NYC?This is the place. Make sure you get in early. Line gets very long here.

Dubu (soft tofu stew ) is great. The bonchon (mini side dishes) could be better.

Top 3 Korean restaurant in the island of Manhattan . Less sugar and tourists for the win.

Kimchi biji and kimchi chum dubu as well as japchae were all fantastic!

Best Korean meal had stuffed mushrooms  and stir fry tofu  trio. Great homemade tofu

Unusual Korean food ) cooked right in front if you on your table

Spicy galbi jjim ! Be prepared for a wait during peak hours.

One of the best Koreans I have ever dined. Service is amazing ????????

Solid seafood stew . Pricey . Would like to try their seafood pancake . Sampler Kimchi and pancake is good

Ignore the menu, you can in fact get a vegetarian hot stone bowl bimbimbop, which comes with their delicious fresh tofu .

pretty good Korean food . service was fast. kimchi biji jjigae n spicy galbi jjim were delicious!

Most tender beef tofu stew I've ever had! Rice with barley tea is soothing after all the spicy food .

Tofu soup (jjigae) here is the highlight especially since they make their own tofu

Bit on the expensive side for Bibimbap . But damn, it's so good. They add in tofu that takes the flavor to another place.

Anything with tofu or soybean anything in it is what they are known for. Don't get the basic stuff like bibimbap ! You can go elsewhere for that!

Tofu is highlighted here with more than two dozen dishes on the menu. The spicy prime-rib casserole is a perfect dish for sharing. - Inspector
