I wanted to come here for the famous dweji gomtang from culinary class wars! My friend and I came on a weekday for dinner and we didn't have to wait too long for a table. We shared their three dishes - one bowl of dweji gomtang, kimchi mandu, and the suyuk. I will say that the dweji gomtang didn't blow us away, but it tasted really clean and fresh. We both loved the mandu and suyuk though! They were so flavorful and well seasoned and the perfect balance of flavors. This is definitely more of an in-and-out spot as opposed to a longer sit down meal, so keep that in mind! read more

I found out about Okdongsik from culinary class wars and was super excited to try it. Be aware they close at 2:30 but you should get there by 1:30 pm to get seated. I came at 2pm and they intended to turn me away but I insisted I would eat very fast (since I had a flight to catch). I saw many others get turned away shortly after me. It's a very small, modern space with bar seating -- similar to a sushi counter. I think this could be very dividing. Okdongsik excels at making very well-boiled pork -- thinly sliced with no pork smell with the perfect texture and flavor balance of pork meat and skin. Just know that the attraction is the pork itself and everything else accompanies it. This makes the dish very mild in flavor. Personally, I would skip unless you're interested trying a very well executed, simple meal. Having grown up with a culture around food and food preparation, I was able to appreciate it and think over and over "man this pork is really good". But someone who is looking for a flavor or texture punch may not be able to appreciate that. read more

Soup: 4/5 Pork slices/suyuk: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Pros: if you like light flavored soup, I'd recommend the gomtang! I live in LA and this gomtang reminded me of sullungtang x gookbap (like they had a baby). The chef recommended we dip the pork slices into the gochujang, but by the end I dumped the sauce, kimchi, and leftover ssamjang in my soup. The suyuk was heavenly. The only thing is I wanted more radish kimchi + garlic. Cons: not really a con con, but I wish they had noodles + more side dishes. I'd only come back if I was visiting in the area. read more

We had a dinner slot open during our trip to NYC, and we saw that Okdongsik was a 15 minute walk away. We both watched Culinary Class Wars and felt like we couldn't pass up the opportunity! We felt like it wouldn't be too long of a wait as it was a Monday, but definitely be prepared to stand there for a bit at peak hours! The restaurant only has 10-12 bar seats, which is why the waiting time can be long. We got to the restaurant on a Monday near 6:00pm and ended up getting seated as a party of 2 near 6:45pm. Honestly wasn't the worst wait! The menu is very simple, which makes it easy for you to pick what you want. We both ordered the Dweji Gomtang as it was the special item. Clean, clear broth poured over rice and served with some sliced pork. Extremely comforting and soothing! If you're looking for big, bold flavors - I wouldn't recommend coming here. If you like clean, subtle flavors - this is the spot for you! read more

Small restaurant with counter seating only. They're open early and the soup makes for a great breakfast. The broth is clean but nuanced. It also lets you taste the flavor of the kimchi and gochuji. The meat is thinly sliced and perfectly chewy. Would come back! read more

Okdongsik. George Bang Bang. We waited for an hour outside to get in to try their famous pork gomtang. The interior is small and it's a bar style seating concept so maybe about 10 people can be seated at a time. There are places in the back wall to hang your jackets and bags for more comfortable dine in. The bar seats were bit uncomfortable for me but I was there for the food so didn't matter as much. Chef owner Oh worked himself to serve the customers, and all the other employees were efficient too. We ordered the kimchi Mandu (dumplings) along with our 2 dweji gomtang bowls. The dumplings tasted like they were hand made. Pork gomtang soup. The pork was thinly sliced and so tender that you can cut the meat into pieces with your chopsticks. The broth is a clear broth that was on a bland side in flavor but tasted like you couldn't resist one more spoonful of broth. I would come here again in the future if the wait time didn't take an hour. I would recommend this place to others but be prepared to wait some time. The employees work quickly to serve the existing customers and to accommodate new customers but they still can only do so much. The parking situation is insane in New York, everywhere we go. I am writing this as I am in a Lyft to go somewhere that was supposed to be 5-6 miles away. 40 minutes later the ETA is still showing 45 minutes. Beautiful state overall, but dang it I miss Florida already. read more

Our second visit since they moved from their original location in K-Town. The menu is pretty much the same, with the addition of German beer and cold-pressed/sliced pork. There's also a speakeasy-style bar called GBB hidden behind the restaurant. We couldn't help wondering why they chose to serve German beer at such a traditional Korean comfort-food restaurant instead of a classic Korean beer like OB. My husband especially loved the experience of enjoying such authentic, traditional Korean comfort food. Next time, we'll have to check out GBB, after, of course, having dinner at Okdongsik! read more

I never watched the cooking show and I was just curious about this place so I gave it try. The place is sleek and clean. It's bar seating only. I got the pork soup with extra pork slices and it was comforting. It's the type of soup you want when you're either sick or hungover. Maybe you just want a simple, good meal. This is that type of dish. The broth itself was very clean and I loved how thin the pork slices were. Usually, I don't prefer it because it tends to be dry. The pork was moist. I really loved the spicy paste that came along with the meal. The kimchi added a nice crunch and acidity on the side. I don't think I'd wait that long for it but overall, I'd recommend. read more

Yes I did come here after watching Culinary Class Wars. Loved the simple, delicious menu. I got the Gomtang with extra pork, kimchi mandu, and a shot of soju. The pork is sliced very thinly and was tasty with the sauce (follow the directions posted in front of your seat, don't put the sauce in the soup). The restaurant has 14 seats. I got in line about 30 min before their dinner opening and was 3rd in line. There were at least 30 people in line by opening time. The seating goes fairly quickly though because service is very efficient. The waiter behind the counter was friendly. He saw me wearing a BTS shirt and told me they had come to eat there when they came to perform for the World Cup, and also before than when they came to do album promo in the early spring. What a bonus that I got to eat where they did! He also told me that one of the members is a regular at their restaurant in Korea. read more

Came 15 minutes before opening on a rainy day, fourth in line, and got seated right at open. I watched Chef Ok on Culinary Class Wars and was a fan, so this was a pilgrimage of sorts. The menu is narrow by design -dwaeji gomtang, sliced pork and rice in a clear pork broth. I can see the appeal. The broth is very clean, with none of the porky taste, and the restaurant executed well. But it ran too mild for me, and I kept wishing for scallions to give it some lift. In conclusion, good but not amazing. Seating is bar-only and the room stays quiet the night I was here read more

Overall: 4 stars Petite restaurant featured on S2 of culinary class wars with a likewise petite menu consisting of the signature and two sides. The culinary technique is explained in the food -- there's an impressive understanding of the components and textures that go into what is a seemingly simple dish of rice in soup. (Dewji Gamtang: A) - Comforting clean bowl of soaked al dente rice that retains the bite texture while soaked in a flavorful bone broth. This cut of pork is tender and soothing on the palette, perfect for a winter day. (Kimchi Dumplings: A) - Delicious spice forward dumplings with ultra thin wrappers and an interesting medley of kimchi and vegetable strong textures in the dumpling. (Pork Belly: B) - If you want thicker, meatier cut of meat this pork belly is the perfect side for you. It comes with a different chili jam that gives the palette a little bit more diversity.

While visiting my friends in New York, I knew I had to come to Okdongsik. I got the Dweji Gomtang and the Kimchi Mandoo and the pairing was perfect. The gomtang broth was so light and definitely hit the spot on a colder day. I was surprised about how thin the skin of the mandu was and I really enjoyed the flavor profile of the dumpling. Definitely would recommend! read more

Arrived on Thurs at noon and there was a line out the door. Luckily we went to semi-new GBB Cafe (located behind the door beyond the restaurant, also where the bathroom would be). We stayed for a delicious strong drip coffee, and when we came out at 1:30pm, there were exactly two seats available. Since there was no more line, we checked in with the staff if we can sit and they said ok! Everything went so smoothly. Everyone starts out with the kimchi and gochujang paste. There's mainly two things on the menu - we ordered the Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork slices. So good and so filling, fantastic for cooler weather days. The mandoo looked delicious but our stomach didn't have anymore room. We left super satisfied. read more

I was super excited to try Okdongsik after watching Culinary Class Wars and it was at the top of my must do list on my last trip to NYC! I came for lunch on a Tuesday and arrived 10 min early and there was already a few people in line so luckily I planned ahead. When they opened I was in the first seating and quickly ordered the classic gomtang (pork bone soup) and kimchi mandoo. Loved the clean and light gomtang that's served with a spicy pepper sauce meant to be eaten with the pork. The soup is intended to be clear and the rice is super comforting. The pork is sliced thinly and really tender. The kimchi mandoo was surprisingly great as well with a tofu, pork, glass noodle filling. The filling is flavorful and spicy with a nice kick! I liked that the dumpling skin is super thin so that it's not too heavy and the filling is mainly tofu to keep the mandoo lighter as well. Great casual, comforting meal! Definitely a must try for a classic Korean meal in NYC. I was surrounded by Korean speaking diners which is always a good sign! read more

This place really blew up I think after the owner was on Culinary Class Wars. So get their early because even 15min after opening, there was already a line. The place opens at 11:30. I arrived 11:45 and I still had to wait in line for 45min, plus I was waiting on a friend and they don't sit incomplete parties. But once she arrived, we were seated immediately. The restaurant is tiny and only sits about 10-12 people at a time. Turnover is quick though because the menu is small, only a few items to choose from, and the food is all ready to go - just requires assembly. We both got the Dweji Gomtang, which is what this place is famous for. Dweji gomtang is basically clear broth with rice and sliced meat - in this case, sliced pork. It's simple but sometimes simplicity can also be complicated - when you have less ingredients there's less room for mistakes. But this place thrives on its simplicity - the gomtang has deep, clean flavors and it just makes you want more. I think I finished mine in about 10min, it was that good. The kimchi mandu were also amazing: not too spicy, just a kick to it, perfect addition. If you haven't tried this place you are missing out. Just make sure you get there early, otherewise you'll be waiting in line for a while. They also do take out so you can pre-order and pick up. This is the restaurant that you are missing in your life so go check it out! read more

I've been wanting to try this spot ever since I saw their chef appear on Culinary Class Wars. They only serve 3 things on the menu but that means they do it incredibly well and service is fast. It's a cozy spot with 12 counter seats only. Not the place to sit down and have a nice long meal. They turn over the seats quickly because it's an eat and go type of place. They open at 11:30am and I got there around 11:15am on. Sunday. There was already a short line and I just missed the first seating. But the wait wasn't too long, we were sat and served by 12pm. We ordered dweji-gomtang and the kimchi mandu. Both were great! Nothing revolutionary but they are done extraordinarily well. The soup had a lot of pure pork flavor without being too salty or heavy. The thing slices of pork were tender and went well with the gochuji. The rice in the soup was cooked perfectly and added a nice bite. The kimchi mandu were freshly steamed. The skins were nice and thin and they were stuffed with a ton of filling. The kimchi it was served with was also good. They will give you refills if you ask. Overall it was a satisfying meal. I can see why they're so popular but don't come expecting to taste something mind blowing. It's a simple meal done extremely well. read more

Soup base was very subtle but the complexity grew over the course of the meal, especially with the dipping of the meat into the spicy paste provided. Kimchi was solid. Great hangover meal! I didn't get to try the dumplings but my kids said they were delicious. Restaurant seats only 12 but the line moves pretty steadily. read more

You hear about the soup. You line up for the soup. You experience the soup. Actually scratch that, come here for the pork shoulder!! We ordered the soup and got extra meat. I kind of regret it because it was A LOT of meat. They don't skimp. If you end up ordering the pork shoulder (a must get) and the kimchi dumplings as well, it might be too much food. We also got a lemonade that washed everything down - slightly tart and tangy. Very refreshing! The soup itself reminded me of Sulungtang with a clean taste, but it was definitely porkier. It was a very simple dish, and the gochiji paired nicely with it. The Kimchi dumplings were surprisingly a favorite since it broke up the taste of the soup. Lastly, the pork shoulder works so nice as the primary meat dish. It's fatty and juicy, and the garlic, jalapeños and sauce are great. The inside is very intimate. You're pretty much sitting shoulder to shoulder inside. Past the door is a speakeasy! Very cool vibes. Ended up waiting for over an hour, and started lining up around 5:40p on a Sunday evening. To me, it's a once in a lifetime visit. I'm not sure if I would come back, but I'm glad I tried it! Ty for reading :^) read more

I feel like this place is a little overrated. There's only about 12 seats inside so there's almost always a wait to get in. We came on a Wednesday evening so the line moved pretty quickly. Since there's only 3 food items on the menu, we got one of each. The jeyuk was probably my favorite. The thick cuts of pork were tender and the ssamjang was really flavorful. The dweji-gomtang was a good clear pork broth but didn't really taste like anything special. The thin cuts of pork were good but the jeyuk pork was better in my opinion. I also felt that the broth itself tasted bland after pairing the pork with the complementary kimchi and Gochuji sauce. Overall I'm glad I gave this place a try since I've been so curious about it after watching culinary class wars. read more

I've been wanting to try Okdongsik ever since watching Culinary Class Wars. To be honest, I'm usually not a fan of gomtang because I find it too bland, but Okdongsik's version of gomtang using pork broth was surprisingly flavorful while still maintaining that clean finish. That said, while the soup was good, I don't think it's worth the long wait As for the Kimchi Dumplings, they were a bit of a letdown. While the skin was crafted beautifully, the filling lacked flavor and felt quite mushy, I'd recommend skipping these. On the plus side, the service was incredibly quick and efficient once seated! read more

Like many others, I am sure, we came here due to our love for Culinary Class wars and how well the chef performed there. We came here 10 minutes after open on a Sunday and proceed to wait about half an hour to get in. The location has very limited seating but thankfully turnsover decently due to the small menu. We came when they added a third item to what was previously a two item menu. The classic item is the Dweji-Gomtang and we ordered extra meat. The meat itself was excellent and the broth indeed tasted very porky and clean. Not a fan of the rice base though but that is a matter of taste as this is the way it is intended to be made. For me, it felt like it should have been a noodle. The kimchi mandoo were good and delicious. We ordered 2. The new item on the menu was Gabrisal Suyuk (pork collar). Fantastic. We ordered this twice as well and would suggest you ask for extra garlic and jalapenos so you can get some with every portion of meat. Overall, good one time visit. read more

Arrived around 15 minutes prior to opening and there were only 6 people in front. I saw them setting up each seat with some tea and the sides prior to opening the doors. Had the dweji gomtang and mandoo dumplings. The gomtang is salty by itself but perfect with rice. A small plate of kimchi and gochu-ji were provided. The sliced pork was thin and soft. The gochu-ji was nice with the pork and not too overpowering. Unless you really want to try it, the mandoo dumplings can be passed on. I liked how thin the skin was but it was rather mushy on the inside and didn't taste like much. Service was fast and efficient. They like to turn over seats quickly and will prompt you to finish up if you take too long. The space is small but not cramped. Overall, it was nice to experience and fine because we got there early so we're the first to be seated. Otherwise, I would not wait longer than 30 min to eat here. read more

I've never seen the second season of Culinary Class Wars, but we stopped by this restaurant for lunch when we arrived in NYC. We got really lucky getting 6 seats together and there was only one person in line in front of us! This restaurant only does table top seating and as soon as we got seated, they served us hot barley tea. It was delicious and kept our hands warm from the cold New York day. The staff were so kind too! We ordered the three dishes and I will say for four dumplings, $12 is a kinda pricey. They were pretty big though. The kimchi was delicious! It wasn't too sour and the gochuji was a great addition for the main dish. The main dish Dweji-Gomtang was very good. The broth was so clear and the pork was sliced thinly and tender. The rice was yummy and not soggy (which is what I was worried about because I don't like soggy textures). Overall, I really enjoyed it and can see why it was on the Michelin guide. I feel like I saw a line every time I walked past it. read more

I really loved the broth and the kimchi dumplings. I felt like the delicate and flavorful broth matched the value, perhaps the dumplings were pricey compared to other spots, but they were still good. I waited quite a while (I don't even want to share how embarrassingly long I waited on a freezing cold day - and on my one Monday off too!!). Now I know you can order takeout, which I'll be doing for my next visit. The staff is really nice, and allows for refills on the kimchi, spicy sauce (you can eat with the pork for a different flavor), and rice. Given the few menu items, it's an efficient process in there and you're served almost immediately (once you get seated that is, which is a journey of its own considering there's no space to wait inside, you must wait outisde /: ) read more

4.5 rounded to 5 The dweji gomtang at Okdongsik is unique in that the broth is clear while still full of flavor. The flavor isn't rich, but rather deep. Worth a try if you're a fan of gomtang or comforting broth. The gochuji that comes with the gomtang to use as a sauce with the meat was also very good. The kimchi mandoo was better than I expected. Again, quite different than most mandoos with really soft filling and thin casing, but still tasty. Actually kind of spicy. read more

Happy new year! This was one of our last meals of the year. A very simple and savoury dish that warms your body. They only had kimchi dumplings in addition to the dweji gomtang. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of kimchi dumplings and it was fine. Their kimchi is also yummy, crunchy and flavorful, perfect for a spoonful of rice, soup, dweji and the kimchi for a perfect balance of crunchy, tender and warm all in 1. It's quite hard to get a reservation but they do have a waitlist. We went at around 4:50 for the waitlist and had a 2 hour and a half wait to get in. They're quiet, clean and calming space with no frills, just minimalistic aesthetic. There is a speakeasy behind the door in the back, so there is some music that leaks into Okdongsik. Overall, would go again and bring friends. read more

This place has been on my short list of restaurants to try in NYC for over a year. If you effectively only serve two things, it has to be good, right? My wife and I lined up around 5:15 (15min after opening) on a rainy Friday evening. We were seated close to 6pm. This place does not take reservations nor is it one of those places where you leave your name and come back later. You just stand in line. So be ready for that. They try to keep people moving so the turnover is actually decently fast, but yeah I'd personally recommend trying to get there 15min before opening to snag first seating. The space is small and bar seating style. Again, there's only a handful of things on the menu. My wife and I got both things (kimchi mandoo and dweji-gomtang). The mandoo was nice and plump with a very thin skin. Definitely love me some korean dumplings and these were some of the better ones I've had. The gomtang was very clean and hearty on a cold day. There's a little sauce on the side you can dip your pork slices in if you want some mix of flavor, but overall it's just a nice hearty bowl of soup with rice and meat. Can't really beat that, but also kind of hard to reinvent the wheel on it. For the price, I thought it was fine. Service is friendly and quick, but it's definitely a spot where you're politely asked to head out asap so they can fill in the next table. I wouldn't come back here again to dine-in, but they do online ordering for takeout so that's an option. Additionally the speakeasy in the back definitely has piqued my interest. Will definitely have to visit there at some point! read more

We came to Okdongsik at 6:30pm on a Friday and were told the wait was going to be about 3 hours which would be past closing. The restaurant is really tiny with about maybe 15 seats max. They recommended that we make reservations but it seems that reservations filled up for the week. The next day, we tried coming 30 minutes before they opened for dinner so that we can try to queue up for walkins. When we arrived at 4:30pm there was already a good 20-30 people in line. They prioritize reservations first and if there are no shows they take walkins. We got seated ~20 mins after 5pm. The line was extremely long by 5pm so if you want to try to get a walk in, come early! Now the food. The menu is extremely limited and they only have a few items. We got the kimchi mandu and the gomtang. The kimchi mandu was good but it wasn't excellent, it came with 4 pieces for $12. The gomtang came with very very thinly sliced pork and a good amount of it too. They had a gochuri paste that they recommended to eat with the pork and not put in the broth. Overall, i would say it was good but I've had more flavorful broth, even in the states. I would definitely not wait more than 30 minutes out in the cold again for this. Really pricey for what we got. read more

We made a reservation at OKDONSIK for 5:45pm on a Saturday because we were interested in trying restaurants that have a very limited specialty menu. Dweji-Gomtang (Regular $18, Extra meat $22) - This is a clean pork broth, served with rice, Kimchi, Gochuji, and 7 slices of thin pork). Getting a bit of the broth, rice, pork, and kimchi felt like comfort food for me. The staff informed us to dip the slicked pork with the gochuji and eat it separately from broth to not disrupt the broth flavor. I enjoyed the tangy Kimchi. Kimchi Mandoo ($12) - This includes 4-piece tangy Kimchi Mandoo filled with pork and tofu). I'm not used to filling being so soft, but I enjoyed the flavor. There is bar seating and people walk in and out due to there being a speakeasy in the back. read more

If only this place had more seating I'd come more regularly! This was the perfect bowl of savory pork bone broth soup to warm me up on a cold and rainy day. The flavor was subtle but simple and warm like a hug. Lots of pot meat which was tender but not out of the world mind blowing. Mandoo was nothing special, I'd probably skip it in the future. The problem is that there is always a wait for this place, a physical walk up line to get in. On a Memorial Day weekend I showed up at 1PM and waited about 1.5 hours. They have a small seating space but once we were inside the food came out quickly, within 5 minutes. Thoughtful space with coat hooks to hold your stuff and quiet bar seating. Calming atmosphere and good soup--I thought it was worth the wait but probably wouldn't wait that long again. read more

Really good! We came from San Francisco to try the pork soup. After dropping off our luggage at our hotel, we headed here and got in line for dinner. We had to wait about 30 minutes to get a seat. The menu is small - pork soup rice and mandu. My husband and I both ordered a bowl of the rice soup. The broth was super clear, clean and tasty. The pork was thin and tender. It was a deliciously comforting, satisfying and light dinner. The restaurant is very intimate - just a counter around the cooking staff. The focus is completely on making an amazing bowl of soup.

Okdongsik is a really solid Korean spot, and honestly one of the closest things I've had in the U.S. to what I'd eat in Korea. The flavors are clean, comforting, and feel genuinely authentic. That said, the price tag is pretty high for what you get, and that does take away from the experience a bit. I'd skip the dumplings next time. They weren't bad, just not worth the extra cost for what it seems to be heated from frozen mandu. The gomtang, though, is absolutely where this place shines. If you're craving something that tastes like home (or as close as it gets abroad), Okdongsik is worth trying, but maybe stick to the essentials. read more
