What People Are Saying About Dok Suni's Restaurant
The Editor
Kathleen Squires

In Short – Dok Suni means "strong woman" in Korean, which is fitting since this lady has lasted more than a decade. Old Korean newspapers decorate the walls, while thumping music and Asian-inspired cocktails please the stylishly edgy crowd. The menu is broad, with appetizers like sticky rice cakes in spicy red pepper and garlic sauce, and entrees ranging from light potato noodles with vegetables in sesame sauce to hearty white bean stew with miso, tofu, zucchini and mushroom.
yummy.

by nycjuice
I think this is the best korean you can get in les- if you want better ask my mom or go to flushing. the food is great but the portions are kinda small especially considering the prices. The place is really tiny so don't go with a huge group
Yummy food and very friendly staff!

We went for a friend's birthday with 5 people. The table was cramped but it worked better because we were all sharing food. The chilean sea bass, the pork and the dumplings were all delicous. Try the So-Yo specialty cocktail. It's made with potato vodka and some yogurt drink that is popular is Korea. I wish they sold it everywhere because it was incredibly yummy.
The staff were all friendly and willing to explain different menu items to us. We sat at the bar while we waited for our table to bet set up and the bartender kept us entertained with conversation.
I'm not sure this will be my new favorite but it's definitely worth a couple of visits.
- Pros: friendly staff, yummy cocktails
