It's a deli with serving typical deli's food; sandwich, burger, wraps, etc. But they have a korean section at the end serving bibimbap, ramen, japchae, etc. But dont expect affordable deli price for the korean food. It will cost you starting from $16 before tax. I ordered chicken japchae, and total was $19.57, getting only 1 small kimchi side dish. You want more side dish, gochujang? That'll be extra charge. I think the korean food is a bit too expensive for this setting. Taste? Other food was pretty good, but im not a big fan of my japchae. read more

I ordered the bulgogi kimbap and 4 steamed dumplings for pickup off DoorDash. KoFoo was located in the back of a deli market featuring a lot of different little restaurants. There are some seats available so you can eat there too. When I went to pick up the food, the cashier looked a little annoyed. Otherwise, the food was okay. The kimbap portion was larger than I expected featuring 12 pieces. The bulgogi was a little bit dry, and the roll came with no sauce. I ended up using the sauce paired with my dumplings for the kimbap. The dumplings weren't bad, they were on the smaller side. This was definitely a lot of food though, I felt stuffed afterwards. read more

예전에 미국에서 공부할기회가 있을때는 한인마트가 LA이외에는 그리 잘되어 있는 편도 아니고 작은편이라서 먹었던 미국식 한식 양송이 버섯에 콩나물 미국식 두부 쥬키니 등을 넣어서 냄새가 좀 덜나거나 미국인들이 그나마 익숙한 미소된장을 섞은 된장찌개를 맛볼수 있고 별도의 팁등이 없이 카페테리아 식으로 앉아서 먹어볼수 있는 곳입니다. 전 북서부에서 공부했었지만, 이곳 뉴욕에서 출장을 자주 오면 한번씩 들러야겠다고 생각이 드는 곳이고, 기억은 정확하지않지만, 주인아주머니가 아직도 운영하고 계시고 전 개인적으로 한국 남자 답지않게 제육볶음 보단 오징어볶음이나 소불고기를 선호하는데 여기 제육은 너무 맛있습니다. 출장이나 놀러오셔서 한번씩 터무니 없는 한식가격에 파인다이닝도 아닌데 비싸게 받는 한식보다는 유학생들이 한식먹을때 주로 가는 곳이였던 감미옥이나 플러싱 중국집 처럼 이곳도 들러보세요, 타코벨 타코 콤보보다 2,3불 더 주시면 여행이나 출장의 피로를 풀어줄 한식을 맛보실수 있습니다. 뉴욕의 김밥천국인 이곳 추천합니다. Back when I had the chance to study in the U.S., Korean grocery stores--outside of places like Los Angeles--were pretty limited and small. So the kind of Korean food we had access to was often a bit "Americanized": doenjang stew made with ingredients like button mushrooms, bean sprouts, American-style tofu, zucchini, and sometimes even mixed with miso to soften the smell and make it more familiar to locals. This place reminds me exactly of that era. It's a simple, cafeteria-style spot where you can sit down, eat comfortably, and not worry about tipping or anything complicated. I studied in the Pacific Northwest, but now that I find myself coming to New York frequently for business, this is definitely one of those places I feel like stopping by every now and then. If I remember correctly, it's still run by the same owner (an older Korean lady), which makes it even more special. Personally, I tend to prefer squid stir-fry or bulgogi over pork dishes--maybe not the most typical Korean guy preference--but the spicy pork here is honestly outstanding. If you're visiting or on a business trip, instead of paying premium prices for Korean food that isn't even fine dining, I'd recommend places like this--similar to how Korean students used to go to Gam Mee Ok or the Chinese restaurants in Flushing. For just a couple of dollars more than a Taco Bell combo, you can have a comforting Korean meal that really helps you recover from travel fatigue. Think of this place as New York's version of "Kimbap Heaven"--simple, satisfying, and worth coming back to. read more

This place is pretty interesting. It's inside of a deli in the back and they serve Korean comfort food. It didn't sound like a place that would have good Korean food, but it actually does. It's definitely no frills though. There's some seating, but it isn't plentiful. The prices are pretty reasonable for midtown Manhattan. I tried the yuk gae jang (spicy beef soup). It was actually pretty good. It wasn't spicy and the broth was flavorful. There were other different dishes on the menu, I'd like to try. Will be back in the future. read more

Food tastes like a meal from your grandma or homey vibes if I had to explain it. It's a very casual spot. The shop is located inside a bunch of other stalls. There's very limited seating, so take out is ideal if you're close by. Theres no bathrooms here either. The kimbap and soups are SO fantastic. I crave it. I felt like the portion for the squid was very little, but the flavor was so good. Duk bok ki was ok - I wouldn't say it's the best, but the omlete rice, kimbap, and yuk gae Jang was just so good. Soups are in bowls bigger than your head, and it comes with a side of rice as well. It's definitely a hole in the wall, and the owner running is very kind. read more

Small mom and pop place that serves a variety of food stuff - from juice, coffee, tea, smoothies, to sandwiches, bagels, paninis, to wraps and Korean food. We came for some Tofu soup. The flavor was very nice. You get a giant bowl of soup with veggies and A LOT of soft tofu. You also get a very small container of kimchi and a bowl of rice to go with your soup. Reasonably priced and it was warm and delicious on a cold and rainy night. Banchans needs to be ordered and they are not free. read more

Came here for a weekday lunch. The place is slightly hidden as it is shared with a deli. Grabbed a to goo order of my usual go to army soup. Was a tad annoyed of having to wait about 10 minutes to get my food as I had called earlier. Nevertheless I eventually got my pipping hot army soup and took it back to eat in the office. The soup cost less than $13 - comes with a fulll tub of the soup, small kimchi and also some rice. Not bad at all. Pay cash if you are spending more than $20 as you get a 5% discount. read more

This is a go-to spot when in the area- it's affordable and the service is good. I've had every one of the soups and they are all highly recommended. I've recently began to get seafood (for extra $3) as an add in and the portions of squid and prawn is good for the price. I recommend the soon dubu jigae, yuk gae jang, and the omelette rice. Although the free kimchi they give you is not very good. KoFoo is in the back of a deli with limited seating. I've gone there between noon-7p and always gotten a table. read more

Convience-store quality food at a reasonable price with all-day delivery in the neighborhood. Kimbap are pretty solid for the price, anything dumpling-like isn't so hot. Stews also not bad. I wouldn't exactly recommend this place if you want to sit down for a meal, but if you want to grab something quick and be done in fifteen minutes, this isn't a bad choice. read more

Review for their take-out eats: You know the drill, it's lunch time, you have no craving but wanted something warm and perhaps soupy... help me Yelp! Quick search, lands me here at KoFoo, a multi station (sandwiches + Korean stews). Reviews were half way decent for the Korean eats; so why not? I got one of my favorite Korean stews, Yuk Gae Jang! (Spicy shredded beef with tons of veggies!). And of course since they also offers Kim Baps - I order a kimchi one! Yuk Gae Jang was good, lots of flavor, isn't it the best quality beef? Nope. But I knew that. Overall taste was on par with other "Korean deli" that makes stews. It satisfied my need for something warm + soupy. Kim baps - kimchi had no flavor. Sadly this one was a disappointment, probably wouldn't recommend it. The rice used was very soggy, and didn't taste fresh. It's a big portion for $7...almost like 2 rolls. I would order the stew again, just the stew. ;) read more

This place is no frills, staff very friendly. We ordered at the counter for lunch. The S-4 daen jang jigae and S-6 kalbi tang had flavorful broth. I had been looking for daen jang jigae for a while now since my recent korea vacation, this one hits the spot and has huge portions. Twice the size of the usual hot stone bowls at BCD Tofuhouse and definitely more affordable. I added rice cakes in mine but they came out more soggy and broken in pieces than chewy, I'll just skip that next time. Soups also come with a side of rice and kimchi. Kimchi wasn't as fermented or strong as I expected and I didn't like that, so I dumped it all into my daen jang jigae soup (nice pairing tbh). Would come back to try other items on the menu! read more

I tried a fish and rice cake in sweet/spice sauce lunch entree (menu item E-1). It was good. It was a bit spicy (I'm a bit of lightweight), but I was able to power through, and am glad that I did. It had great flavors, and my to-go order was packaged very hot (temperature). I'll definitely come by for a quick lunch again another day. read more

Delicious Korean food hidden inside a deli, conveniently located on 23rd St. Walk towards to the back of the deli to the small counter, which displays a few of their appetizer goodies (kimbob rolls, dumplings and mini pancakes). I tried the kimchi ju gae (S-3, $10.50), which is a spicy kimchu pork stew with sweet potato noodles, tofu, rice cakes and vegetables. It was accompanied by a small bowl of rice and a side of kimchi. The food was prepared quickly (within five minutes of ordering) and the soup was a large portion. It was a geat deal for the price, though I struggled a bit to find the pork in the soup and found the taste to be more sour than spicy. I would definitely return to try their kimbob rolls and other hot entrees. There are a few tables if you choose to eat in, but I recommend taking out (or ordering delivery) as ambience is somewhat lacking. It's a good place to go if you're trying to accommodate a large crowd with diverse palates - those not interested in Korean food can order from the vast deli menu, which ranges from sandwiches, salads to cooked foods like burgers. read more

KoFoo - S-3 kimchi ji gae soup $10.50 - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

My favorite udon place in the city! I'm so glad that they are delivering now! Delivered fast

I ordered Soondubu Jjigae, side of kimchi pancakes and bibimbob with chicken and KoFoo Soy sauce for lunch. First off, the good: I ordered from seamless to pickup in store and my food was ready for me when I got there. Timely preparation is so important when you only have a short lunch break. My order was correct and the price point is really good compared to most Korean restaurants nearby. I would also say portion sizes did not disappoint. Flavor was good on the bibimbob. Now, the bad: Soondubu was fairly bland and watery compared to the what I'm used to. Perhaps the food has had to be watered down from its normal levels of spiciness to suit the local masses who can't handle spice. Sad. My friend got the bibimbob and only remarked that the chicken on it was so dry, no matter how much sauce she dipped it in. Kimchi jeon was sad. Pretty spongy where it should have been crispy. The most disappointing part was when there was a foreign meat in. Kimchi pancakes include a batter and kimchi usually, so I called the restaurant just to make sure they don't normally serve it with any meat. I was assured that there is never any meat in it. However, mine had several large chunks of what seemed to be chicken. I'm not pescatarian and luckily not allergic. I'm glad the chicken was already cooked. But clearly more attention is needed in the food prep department. Also, when a customer complains to you, as a manager or employee of the establishment, the first step should be to apologize, not call the customer a liar. As much as you may feel certain that meat NEVER goes into the kimchi pancake, it's a better practice to acknowledge the complaint, and offer a solution. Just out of frustration I'm inclined to give one star, but I don't consider it a fair evaluation of the overall experience. read more

I really enjoy the food from this little Korean food stall. It may seem odd that it's in the back of a deli, but the food is actually pretty good. Their menu consists of a lot of basic Korean food such as kimbap, soon du bu tofu stew, japchae, kimchi fried rice, bi bim bop, etc. The best part is that they have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options which are all clearly marked with a big green V ! This cozy little establishment is a great place to get Korean food fast around the flatiron area. Besides Woo Ri Jip in ktown I don't know many other places in the area with to-go Korean food! I like the mixed mushroom stir fry and the veggie duk mandu guk. Portions are pretty generous and good prices. Most dishes are $8-9. Great & friendly service. Take out is prepared quickly and I never have to wait too long. Check it out if you are in the area! read more

I've gotten lunch delivery from here twice, so can't comment on the restaurant itself, or the service. Food is decent! I've gotten the kim chi jigae and budae jigae, and have tried some of the sides as well. The stews are super hearty with a generous amount of kimchi/tofu/spam/noodles/rice cake/hot dog/pork, and solid flavors and spice, even with the mild spice option (lol). I put the rice in with the stew, so I do wish the broth to meat/veggie ratio was a little bigger, but not complaining about the delicious spam. The stews are great, but the sides could be a little better. The kimchi that came separately was somehow not that good, even though I'm sure that's what was used to make the stews. The kimchi pancakes were decent, but a little cold, which I guess makes sense because travel distance. I'm sure they would be much better fresh out of the kitchen. In hindsight, I'm really not sure why I ordered miso soup at a Korean place but I was just in the mood for it and it was not very miso-y. Kind of just salty. The pickled radish/daikon didn't taste very pickled, which was disappointing. Overall, very good price and portions for lunch. The sides could use some work, but just focus on the entrees and you'll enjoy your meal! Definitely will be ordering from here again. read more

Long time fan, especially during the college days and they were located on 28th street. Kofoo is more like a deli now, but previously they were more like a classic korean take out joint. Everything is made to order and there's a variety of options. Like many other reviewers I would compare it to Woorijip but their prices are comparable in terms of quality and quantity. I've never had an issue with delivery, and they serve jjolmyun which is already a plus, you really can't find that anywhere else. Food is affordable and delicious, like it should be. read more

Looking for a cheap spot for Korean food in Manhattan? This is the place! This place is tucked behind several other shops in the same store so that's why KoFoo felt like a hidden hole in the wall treasure! The prices are pretty decent, with kimbap being around $6.50/7! My first time being here, I got the bibimbap (9.25) with beef and the special KoFoo soy sauce to go! I was drawn in by the word "special" but the sauce was really just typical soy sauce that you usually dip Chinese chicken in. Overall, it was a pretty good meal though as there was an abundant amount for the price and it packed a flavorful punch! Definitely recommend this place as a quick, affordable lunch spot if you're around the area! read more

Not the best Korean food you find in NY, but it's good for what it is--which is a super casual Korean takeout joint with reasonable prices and generous portions. Good enough for me! ***LOCATION & INTERIOR*** It took me a few minutes to find Kofoo because it doesn't have it's own storefront but instead resides inside the larger 4 Seasons deli, so look out for 4 seasons. Once you walk in, Kofoo is in the very back. It's just a single counter with a menu board on one wall and pictures of the food over the counter. Think Hmart food court. If you can, take your food to-go or order delivery. There are tables in the deli but they're sticky and dirty, and it's kind of dingy inside. ***FOOD*** Kofoo offers all the Korean staples and then some. Bibimbaps, japchae, a ton of kimbaps, kimchi fried rice, jigaes, etc. I opted for the ddukbokki. My order was ready in 5-10min, and came fresh and hot. The takeout container was packed to the top, much heavier than I thought it would be but hey...I'm not complaining. In addition to rice cakes, you'll find fish cakes and an egg (which I took out) and cabbage, all swimming in sweet and spicy sauce. Like others have said, the sauce isn't super strong, but I think it still had a lot of flavor. I ate my dish as a meal and, honestly, if the sauce was stronger it would just be too much. The large rice cakes were fresh, soft, and chewy, and I really liked how much cabbage there was to balance out the pure carbs. Such a satisfying comfort meal for less than $9. ***NOTES/RECOMMENDATION*** If you want quick, casual Korean comfort food, Kofoo is one of the best priced authentic spots in Manhattan. I would compare it to Woorijip, except Kofoo is made-to-order and I think better quality. read more

Had the udon soup with chicken which was delicious. Friendly and quick. Very unassuming looking but the food is solid.

This is a super hole in the wall Korean place that I love getting lunch from. For starters, the price is fairly low compared to other Korean restaurants and there's this one go to dish that I always compare everywhere else. I cannot find the same kimchi fried rice with bulgolgi anywhere so I am always looking to come back to KoFoo for this item. Another notable item would be their tofu soup which really does hit the spot in the winter! I don't necessarily like eating it in the deli because it's just packed with people and they're usually waiting for their lunch to go. For the most part, there's just a lot of hips next to you as you're eating. It gets so crowded that you do have to share a table with someone else which can get a little awkward, but still would recommend it! read more

I'm a regular customer here as it is very close to my office. The food was ok, definitely worthy the price in flatiron/Chelsea. However, I'm very disappointed today. I ordered Kimchi Ji gae +$0.5 rice cake. I found they charged me $1 for the rice cake and showed them their own menu. The owner just slightly said the price on the menu is wong and walked away. I didn't argue with them because it's only $0.50. However, when I'm back in office, I found there's no rice cake in my soup...this is just very wrong. read more

I was craving Korean and found that Kofoo delivered to my office. Bibimbop price was a little hefty, but I had to satisfy the craving. Flavors were good, and the quantity was about right. Add on side of shumai (to meet the delivery minimum) also included 8 shumai, which was a lot more than I was expecting. Delivery speed was better than average places around here, I think. read more

This little Korean kimbap hole-in-the-wall is hidden at the back of an American deli. It looks like cafeteria-style food, but that is essentially what kimbap is. A quick rice and seaweed roll, which some may call Korean sushi, though I find that name terribly incorrect, is easy to make and includes all pre-made foods. I ate the bulgogi kimbap and it was great. Convenient, quick, flavorful, and filling. It's a great snack, and could be a meal if you have a smaller appetite. It's not a high-end place, but it's Korean comfort food that brings back childhood memories. read more

Seamless review only! Seamless wise, painless delivery, delivered within the advertised time (40 mins since I paid). They up their prices around 50cents compared to their menu so... its not the best but not the worst. I ordered the chewy noodle because its cold outside and only a weirdo like me would crave chewy cold noodles. I really really enjoyed this dish. Noodles were delightfully chewy and everything blended well. I would of liked a little more acidity/spiciness but overall a good dish Spicy tuna w/ avacado kimbob... maybe 2 stars. the spicy tuna was more like... the dried fish with a little spice in it. Maybe its just their style but definitely not fresh at all, tasted like eating tuna from can or something. avacado was at least not brown. Would not really get again :/ Overall a solid 3 star addition for a quick fix delivery when you need it. Will defintiely try their other foods too read more
