We waited 90 minutes for a table, and it was certainly worth it! We ordered the Spicy Seafood Tofu Stew, Bossam, Seafood & Scallion Pancake, and the CDG Royal Oxtail Soup. All of the dishes were prepared perfectly, but personally, the Oxtail Soup stood out as exceptional. Its broth was remarkably clean yet flavorful, partly due to the abalone, and the oxtail was wonderfully tender. This has been, by far, the best restaurant experience during our five-day trip to New York.

There’s always a long waitlist (1 hr+), but I don’t think it’s worth it. They make their tofu in house, and it’s pretty good, but overall lowkey mid and overhyped given the wait. Dubuhaus is way better imo - Cod roe omelet ($14.99): 4/10, everyone on Beli got it, so we got it, but there wasn’t that much cod roe. Skip - Spicy kimchi soondubu ($17.99): 8/10, pretty solid and flavorful but not mind blowing. Tofu quality was good - Bossam ($20.99): 8/10, similar to other places - Banchan: Standard, liked the tofu one a lot

One of my fav korean restaurants. Perilla seed tofu soup and spicy polluck was really good. It has that nutty flavor and the tofu is very soft and fresh. Lots of side dishes that are also really good, especially the yuzu cucumbers and seasoned squid 👍. There's a lunch special where you can get combos; arrive before opening (~30-40 min wait time on weekdays lunch time, longer during weekends and dinner time).

In K-Town and real-deal Korean food. No frills.. just tasty, authentic food done right If you order a spicy dish, it comes with a really solid kick Everything arrives steaming hot straight from the kitchen. Banchan game is strong. Scallion pancake was really good Cozy vibe that feels like a neighborhood staple. Great service

It's really not easy to wait for this meal! An hour of waiting! I don't think I'll spend such a long time for a meal in the future. 😂 I love their refillable small side dishes! They are very diverse and delicious.

We waited about 45min -1 hr for the table but it was worth it! We got the japchae, spicy tofu stew and the bibimbap. All we're delicious! Also tried the grape mocktail and it tasted like a green jolly rancher 😊

We loved EVERYTHING about this restaurant. Great service, vibe, and of course the food!! We left our number and waited for 90min - there are so many things to do in the hood and it didn’t feel like a long wait at all. We will definitely go back 🙂
