Morning-Made Tofu Anchors a Midtown Korean Table
Taste creative Korean classics around fresh morning tofu, generous plates, and the peak-hour energy of this Midtown stop.
🍲 Tofu Before the Classics
Start with the complimentary tofu starter, then let the meal widen into a generous spread of side dishes and Korean classics. The kitchen makes its own tofu fresh every morning, a house tradition dating to 1997.
Look for crispy seafood pancakes and spicy stir fried chicken with rice cakes, plates that stretch a Midtown lunch into a full Korean meal. The dining room has constant movement at peak hours, attentive service keeps the pace from feeling rushed, and a line can form when tables turn.
At 55 W 35th St., Cho Dang Gol works for a full midday meal or an early dinner. Monday through Thursday, lunch runs from 12 PM to two thirty PM and dinner from 5 PM to nine thirty PM. Friday through Sunday, service runs from 12 PM to nine thirty PM. Bring a friend, order broadly, and leave room for the house made tofu.
