Cho Dang Gol still makes its own tofu.
A Bib Gourmand on West 35th Street built on house-made dubu and bubbling soondubu, at $$.
On West 35th Street in Koreatown, Cho Dang Gol's cozy rustic wood-paneled dining room greets guests with the comforting steam of bubbling earthenware bowls and fragrant roasted sesame.
The kitchen curdles fresh dubu (tofu) twice daily using mineral-rich sea brine: cloud-soft tofu served warm with soy chili sauce, and bubbling stone pots of rich soondubu jjigae.
Warm, unhurried, and deeply communal; families and friends crowd shared tables laden with colorful fermented banchan and sizzling bibimbap.
A beloved Koreatown institution holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Cho Dang Gol represents the timeless, healing power of traditional Korean soybean craftsmanship.
