"The Dish: Spicy Kimchi Tofu Stew For decades, Cho Dang Gol has held the unofficial crown for Best Homestyle Korean Restaurant in Manhattan. People will say you need to try their homemade tofu—and they aren’t wrong—but the true highlight of their tofu stew isn’t the crumbly bean curd. It’s the opaque, brick red broth that invades every crevice of your mouth with its sweet and tangy flavor. Get the spicy kimchi version. It's a meal on its own, and reason enough to visit this casual, Koreatown staple." - bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
