Soup Dumplings Get a Korean Remake at the Exceptional Octo in Koreatown - Eater NY
"Octo is a Korean Chinese restaurant located at 1 East 33rd Street, just east of Fifth Avenue on the northeastern edge of Koreatown. Opened last December, Octo offers a menu that incorporates Korean Chinese classics, Cantonese and Hong Kong cuisine, northern Chinese specialties from Beijing, and the food of Shanghai. Highlights include kimchi soup dumplings, jajangmyeon, Beijing duck, cumin pork back ribs, and fish of the day. The service is top tier, and the ambiance is likened to an elegant diner. Octo is considered one of the best Korean Chinese restaurants in Koreatown and possibly among the best Chinese restaurants in the city. It is open for lunch and weekend brunch, with some discounted dishes available." - Robert Sietsema
