AI-generated summary

It's basically a one dish place. Get the gomtang, a clear , and add the , which people say has amazingly thin skin. The menu is tiny and a simple bowl costs about what an expensive ramen does. Expect to wait even with a reservation.

  • OkDongSik. It’s a Korean restaurant that specialize in a single dish. They make a pork broth soup that’s similar to tonkotsu but is more delicate and clear like a consommé.

    It's good winter food, but i dont think I'd go back if I had to wait in this cold. We had a reservation when they first opened and still had to wait. Their mandoo did have amazingly thin skin, and the food hit the spot after standing outside.

  • replying to u/DinerEnBlanc: Yee, so many good spots now. OKDONGSIK in particular is a go to spot if you want soup.

    It’s really good, the kimchi mandu are the best part. Soup and pork are really good but it’s a very simple dish that’s priced the same as an expensive ramen.

  • replying to u/Foodiegirlie030793: I love the nasi lemak from a few Malaysian restaurants (it’s a coconut flavored rice centered dish) I like it from Nynonya in LES or Malay Restaurant in Flushing even Papa Rich has a good one. Another dish is Hainanese chicken rice you can also order that at the Malaysian restaurants. The thai version can be found at chick it out in LIC. I also enjoy the sticky white rice that comes with tofu stew in Korean restaurants.
