Cho Dang Gol is a cherished Korean restaurant nestled in the heart of Manhattan’s Koreatown, renowned for its dedication to traditional Korean cuisine and, notably, its house-made tofu.

Since 1997, this establishment has been a go-to spot for those seeking authentic Korean flavors in a warm, inviting setting. The restaurant’s interior exudes a cozy, canteen-like atmosphere, with wooden tables and a straightforward layout. While the decor is unpretentious, the focus remains on delivering high-quality, comforting food. The open kitchen allows diners to witness the tofu-making process, adding an authentic touch to the experience.

House-Made Tofu: A standout feature of Cho Dang Gol is its freshly prepared tofu, made daily on-site. Each meal begins with a complimentary serving of this silky, soft tofu, setting the tone for the dishes to follow.

Signature Dishes: The menu boasts a variety of traditional Korean dishes, with a particular emphasis on tofu-based stews and casseroles. The kimchi tofu stew, featuring a tangy, reddish-orange broth, tender tofu, and juicy kimchi, is a favorite among patrons.

Banchan: As is customary in Korean dining, Cho Dang Gol offers an array of banchan (side dishes) to accompany the main meal. These small plates, including items like spicy radish and savory mushrooms, add depth and variety to the dining experience.
