Korean restaurants in New York City

  1. A

    Cho Dang Goi

    Right in the heart of Koreatown, Cho Dang Goi does a brisk business in traditional bibimbops (vegetables with rice and spicy sauce), sticky-rice dishes and pork stews, which are all among the best in the area. You'll also get the tiny plates of kimchi surprises (including a pile of teensy dried fish, eyes intact) right before your meal begins.

    Bann

    You'll have to hunt for the entrance to discreet Bann (tucked inside Worldwide Plaza). A fusion of modern and traditional Korean, Bann lets you do your own BBQ or experiment with some of its offbeat pairings, such as dak nalke jorim (spicy chili-glazed chicken wings with fried plantain) or cham chi hwe (ahi tuna tartare served with thinly sliced green apple). The crisp elegance makes it a favorite for business lunches, but the low lights and intimate black tables with granite tops give it a romantic glow at night.

    Manna Bento

    There's a constant stream of book-toting students through Manna Bento's small front door, which tells you the food's good, affordable and a great cure for a hangover. Plates of rice, kimchi, buckwheat noodles and spicy hot seafood soup are generously portioned.
