korean food is good

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!

by punky21

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

DIFFERENT CAN BE EXCITING

by redbaronn27

I took my boyfriend, who is Korean to DOk Suni for his birthday. We both agree the food isn't as traditional as K town but really loved it anyway. It was very delicous, he had the bulgogi and I had the jalepeno chicken. The finishing shots of cinnamon tea were so spicy and lovely!

A perfect spot to experiment with friends and lovers!

• Pros: Creative Menu, Abience

Good taste but small servings

by pingerl

The food in this restaurant tastes good but they do not give you as much as you would get in Koreatown. My favorites are the tofu in the mixed appetizer that they give and the kalbi and bulgogi dishes. Service is pretty efficient. All in all a good place to eat especially on a weekday evening when it is not too crowded.

Best Bulgogi Around

by miacomp

Dok Suni is a slightly funky Korean restaurant that's a little different in that they play with traditional dishes, in a good way, and the service is pretty good. I wouldn't say it is authentic but still very enjoyable on the whole. Everything I've had is delicious- they just know how to get all the spices right at this place- I especially ejoy the Bulgogi, Kimchi Pancake and Tender chicken. They also serve a side of pickled vegetables and tofu with each meal-out of this world! A fun place to experience with friends, the complimentary shot of cinnamon tea at the end of the meal is a nice touch.

Dok Suni needs some doctoring

by cmvmls

Went in December '05 with a friend. Pros: Location and Price. Cons: Food average. Service ok. Ambience nothing special, just regular neighborhood place. Overall: "Dok Suni" has received great reviews elsewhere, but honestly, don't waste your time. I know Korean food and if that's what you want to eat, just go to Korea Town, for crying out loud!

• Pros: Cheap, Location
• Cons: Food mediocre, Ambience boring

Good food

by ryancasupanan

The food here is good; however, it could be a bit more spicier.

The grandmother of the East Village's burgeoning Little Korea scene, setting the trend for cheap chic for over a decade.

by 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.

Overrated

by brightstuff

I took my Korean mother here because it was recommended by a friend.

My mother complained through the whole meal because she said the food looked like "leftovers and scraps".

It's trendy, sure, but you'd be better off going to a Koreatown place if you really want good Korean food.
