Great authentic Korean food! If you are an adventurous eater and like foods and dishes you've never tried - this is a great choice. I loved my spicy tofu and seafood stew/hotpot. A tady pricey and service isn;t the most friendly or I would have given a 5.

Came by for lunch on our first trip to NYC. Had to wait about 5 minutes. Everything we had was sooo good. The best Korean food!!! We were served with an assortment of Korean specialties while waiting for our food- all were extremely good and tasty. We ordered from the lunch specials- jjigae. Both of our dishes were delicious.

We've eaten at Korean places all over the country, and this was the worst easily, so I don't know why it's rated so well here in NYC. The little appetizers that always come with Korean meals were very good, but the meal was downhill from there. The Kalbi beef short ribs were bland and skimpy. They appeared to be griddled,... More

Korean food is delicious. Less known than other asian cuisines perhaps but just as good and varied. This place serves really good korean food. Have been here before and the place still keeps a very good level of taste, quality and service.

Cho Dang Gol is worth seeking out if you are in New York City. Homemade Tofu, great hot pots, excellent selections from Pork to Seafood. Great dumplings! Expect a bit of a wait, as this is a small space, and it is constantly packed.....a good thing! Great for a group, as you can order lots of plates, and share.

Sides were good; however, have had better dumplings. Beef was tasty and other entrees around us looked delicious. It was worth the walk. We would go back.

Service and food was excellent. Highly recommend. Restaurant is rather small and there was a wait - but worth it.

I visited Cho Dang Gol over MLK weekend. It was definitely packed with a 25 min wait. Me and group of friends decided to wait because that this was the top place for Korean food. After sitting down, the menu is very simple, but more on the pricey side. I had the galbi which is basically grilled marinated beef. The... More
