Reviews for Cho Dang Gol in New York, NY

The best Korean restaurant I’ve ever been to in the US! The beef & mushrooms japchae (stir fried glass noodles) is my... favorite. It tastes phenomenal. Seafood soup also tastes very good but might be a bit spicy if you can’t handle spice. Porkbelly and seafood pancakes are good as well. They advertise their tofu as signature but to me they are just tofu. I’ve triedbetter tofu in Chinese restaurants. The waitress was super friendly. She taught us how to enjoy each dish in the most Korean way(even though she was clearly very busy given how packed the restaurant was). I tried to thank her in Korean when we were leavingand she clearly appreciated my effort ????. Read more

Amazing place. Real Korean food. The place is also full with real Koreans. Kimchie and other sideswipes are excellent and... refilled. The tofu is also amazing. Service is excellent and helpful. The lunch menu options fantastic and absolutely enough.The dumplings are out of this world. Read more

The food tastes great. Typical Korean Cuisine. I was not given the complimentary Tofu Starter which Google Maps says the... meal starts with. The rice is cooked in traditional style bowls with several flavors, which is nice. Staff is nice. Reasonably priced. Credit cards accepted. We will most likely be going back. Read more

Phenomenal experience! Everyone who works here was extremely nice and helpful. Service was impeccable and a woman came to our... table and mixed our bibimbap herself for that "authentic Korean experience" her words, not mine. The food was delicious, I alsogot the pear and honey wine which was nice but a little too sweet for another glass. However, my friend got the chestnut wine &though still sweet, it tasted like Christmas & was absolutely divine. Definitely hit this place up, you'll be glad you did! Read more

Wonderful Korean restaurant, everything is marvelous! Came in around 1pm with reservation so we didn’t have to wait. Before... we were served with what we ordered, the waiters gave us many side dishes and starters, and even the seafood pancake. I guessthat’s sort of a tradition in Korean restaurants but those were really tasty. Ordered many dishes, and all my pictures arefor the regular but not mini size of the dishes. The fried fish and spicy chicken were awesome. I can tell that they useddifferent sauces in different dishes so not all of them are “Korean sweet and spicy”, but varied in flavors. Really greatmeal. Invited our friends again next Tuesday night but was told to wait at least 90 minutes so we gave up. So hard to find arestaurant in Manhattan these days! Read more

If you are craving authentic Korean food, this is the place you should visit. We got reservation beforehand therefore we can get... in on time. The staffs are welcome and speaking Korean which remind me of some Korean drama scenes. We had seafood pancake (Ilike it because it’s crispy and thin, won’t get you too full. The ingredients are fresh), spicy hot pot with noodles,homemade tofu soup (sorry I forgot the name) and a plate of fried chicken. All for party of four and we are all satisfying. Thefood is super tasty and fresh. The staff is attentive and helpful, she help share the portion of the hot pot. Probably the bestKorean meal we’ve had. They offer side dishes which you can refill. We enjoy each kind of them. Kimchi is extremely good, witha bit sour flavor. Overall, it’s a 5-star restaurant. Definitely returning back for other offerings. Read more

One of the best tofu house in NYC!! I love everything we got from here. The tofu stew was made with tofu curd and it added so... much more flavor to it. The side dishes here are amazing as well specially the kimchi; super flavorful and bubbly. We waited abit longer since we had a bit group but overall the service was great and food was amazing would definitely recommend it! Read more

This place is so popular and well known already but I just can’t help expressing my experience by writing this review. One of... the best Korean foods I’ve ever had. My all time favorites are the cod roe omelet and homemade tofu. They tasted like home tomy Korean boyfriend. Everything else was also spectacular and well seasoned. This place is a real, authentic Korean restaurantwith very hardworking chefs and staffs. They deserve the best tip you can give!! Read more
