Cho Dang Gol - Korean restaurant in New York - 55 W 35th St, USA

Korean restaurant in k-town that requires a little bit of a wait and well worth it. It has a bib gourmand but honestly they deserve a star. Before we even got our tofu soup, the starters almost blew me away. The raw tofu to start off simple followed by a variety of common tofu house staples like radish kimchi, sweet potato, and spinach. Each of them could've been dishes on their own and tasted better than most tofu house places. The tofu soup itself was also very hot and hearty and wonderful for a cold day, though (unpopular opinion) I liked the tofu soup at BCD Tofu House slightly better. The mini Yakgwa cookies they gave at the end also could've been desserts on their own: delicious buttery sweetness!

We were waiting in a line for an hour and it is worth it. I liked omelet and seafood & scallion pancake the most. Spicy seafood tofu stew was not as good as I expected because broth was not concentrated, watery. In addition, washroom was clean and smelled good. One day we will come back to try another dishes.

Very popular place. A bit expensive but portions are generous and service is impeccable. Must try the dimsum, they are full and soft. The plum wine is a perfect complement. Would be nice to have music. The temperature was crazy hot inside with cold draft from outside. Make sure not to be facing the door.

Overall a great place for Korean food. Two of us ordered two main dishes and got really full. I love the kimchi tofu stew. It goes well with the rice. The service was great. Our server offered to give us more side dishes when we almost finished. Their specialty is homemade tofu, all dishes with tofu would be nice.

All Koreans can agree that this is the most authentic Korean restaurant in NYC, reminiscent of home cooked food. The lady working there always ensures that your ban chan (complimentary side dishes) are refilled and is super friendly. Whenever I come, I always order the cod roe omelet and nutritious vegetables rice. Overall, you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes here, and be sure to check out their summer menu while it lasts!

All the dishes were really on point! We particularly liked the eggs and perilla seeds tofu stew. Generous ban chan portion too. The wait wont be that long if you wait outside after putting your name in and the waiter/ waitress would come out & let you in earlier. Don’t go somewhere else and wait for the text. Service was amazing too!

Authentic Korean cuisine! Friendly staff provided good service and the food taste great! Their home made tofu was amazing. I was there for dinner at about 5.30pm on a Monday, and already have to be on the waiting list. But the wait was worth it.

Fantastic food. I have been here several times and have yet to have something not good. Anything with tofu is especially good; my favorites are the soondooboo and the spicy pork with tofu. The octopus rice and vegetable rice when available are also special. There are often lines so it is, but it is absolutely worth the wait or even to show up very early.
