Okdongsik - Review - Koreatown - New York - The Infatuation
"Okdongsik specializes in a particularly delicate version of pork gomtang, with a light, clear broth and super-thin pork slices. The 13-seat counter in Koreatown serves just this one soup, gukbap-style—poured over bowls of rice that make the entire place smell like a just-opened rice cooker. There’s a little kimchi and spicy pepper paste on the side, you can order some mandu, and that’s pretty much it. The soup is great, but because the small space is populated with a mix of walk-ins and reservations, getting seated can sometimes be a little annoying. If there's a wait, head to the hidden bar in back, where you can get a cocktail before sitting down to a quietly satisfying meal." - Sonal Shah
