Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, November 3, 2025 | Eater NY

"I can’t believe how much I loved Howoo , the Korean barbecue restaurant inside the three-in-one complex that includes tofu-centric DubuHaus and the cocktail bar with snacks, Musaek. The spaces are packed, each with such a different scene — even when I left after 11 p.m. on a Friday. If I were going with one other person, I’d snag a seat at the bar, where there’s a barbecue setup at every pairing. But I was with a larger table, which felt private but still in the mix of things, with just the right acoustics so you can hear everyone at the table even though the room is busy. Tables can order a set meal that comes with banchan, souffles, salads, noodles, and dessert, as well as a la carte options. But don’t skip the excellent appetizers: a mix of textures in the seafood naeng-chae, with jellyfish, octopus, squid, shrimp, and lotus roots, dressed with sesame and a vinegary dressing ($28). I also loved the steak tartare, served with the subtly sweet Asian pear, egg, and seaweed crisps ($29). I can’t wait to go back to try the more casual Dubu Haus downstairs." - Nat Belkov
