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.
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.
Cho Dang Gol was an incredible experience. We arrived at 6 pm on a weekend and waited for about an hour for our table for two. The restaurant's interior was snug with closely seated tables and felt very cozy.
CDG had a wonderful Banchan selection, with unique items like the cabbage with fermented snails and tofu pieces. The Bossam was had a wonderful pork flavor without being overpowering, and the mini Bossam served as the perfect portion size for two. The beef bulgogi with octopus was well stir-fried and seasoned. The Perilla Tofu Soup had a distinct grainy taste that might cater more to acquired palates.
Overall, the dining experience was fantastic and left us incredibly satisfied. The complementary Korean fried Yakgwa cookie that came with the bill was a thoughtful touch.
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.
Get here early if you want to get lunch. The line gets long fast and you'll have to get on the waitlist. I went right when they opened and was able to get seated right away but they will NOT SEAT YOU UNLESS YOUR ENTIRE PARTY IS PRESENT.
The service in on point and super fast. The food comes out very fast and side dishes are unlimited.
The tofu soups are delicious and even the side dishes. If you want a twist on the rice, try the mushroom rice. It was really good. They give you a stone bowl of rice to share so before going crazy and ordering 1 rice per person, ask the wait staff how much rice you'll need to order as 1 bowl can be shared if not everyone eats a lot of rice.
They have good lunch combo options and I got the spicy jeyook pork with tofu. Portion is very small but with all the other food you get it was actually perfect.
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!
No wonder this place has a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Every single dish I tried is just immaculate. The dishes are very authentic while being upgraded. Their cod roe rolled omelette has a fluffy texture perfectly complemented by the drizzled sauce. Their bibimbap is honestly one of the best I’ve had. The flavors complement each other so well. Their barchan is not to be underestimated and their dessert is surprisingly very tasty, especially their ice cream.
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!
Absolutely loved our stop here. Ambience was great. Service was attentive. We found a table pretty quickly. And the most important- the food was amazing. Just fresh ingredients with well prepared plates and great quality. I highly recommend

Stopped in around 3pm on a Saturday. They were extremely busy, there were people waiting outside. I got on the waiting list for a party of one and waited only about 20 minutes. They had a convenient service, where I received a text when table was ready.
Place was packed full of people. The tables are separated with a divider so that a four-person table can fit two separate pairs of two.
I've never really tried authentic Korean food before so I was unsure what to order. I did know that they make homemade tofu so that was a must-try.
Once the service took some time before my order was taken. That's understandable they were extremely busy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
A nice assortment of complimentary starters were provided and all very tasty. I have very little idea what each one was.
I ordered the grilled tofu appetizer platter, and spicy chicken entree with a side of mushroom rice that I totally did not need.
All of the food was so tasty, so delicious and beautiful at the same time. The spicy parts had just enough heat to my liking. The flavors were through the roof. Warning though I was sweating and eyes watering by the end of my meal. I would chalk that up to the extreme overeating I did. I absolutely loved the heat level.
The tofu platter came with cold pickled octopus which was so delicious enough to eat on its own. Also came with some interesting sweet seaweed and kimchi, assumption was that I should be layering these things on each piece of tofu. Was a very good assumption, great combination of flavors.
The spicy chicken dish was fantastic, and very filling. The side of mushroom rice came out an extra cost and was more food than I needed, but pretty tasty from what I enjoyed.
I'd say the prices were just right. Appropriate for what you're getting.
I can't wait to come back and try something new. Highly highly recommend this restaurant.
