REVIEWS:
Only if all Korean menus look this good, I would smell of fermented kimchee and Korean BBQ all day, everyday. Dok Suni’s located on 119 First Ave near 7th St is a cute little Korean eatery with a café look, all the food are very traditional but the interior ambiance is similar to a romantic café mostly found in the East Village/West Village. Introduced by a very close friend of mine, she was afraid that it wouldn’t meet with my standard and to be honest I didn’t expect too much. As I had mentioned earlier this place is cute! and Korean restaurants are not really know for their cuteness, most eateries I have been to are very traditional or hole in the wall. So, I admit I did have my doubts but I have to give it up to my girl, the food is delicious! All entrees range from $10.95-$20.95 which is unreal for New York standards for those prices I’m going to have to make Dok Suni’s my second home away from home. I would recommend the bulgogi (marinated beef), and $17.95 and Hey-mul-jap-tang fresh shrimp, crab, squid and clams in a light, spicy broth with udon noodles $13.95. The spiciness of the soup is just like my mom makes and all the BBQ comes with side of raw garlic, jalapeños and lettuce to wrap the meat in.
RANTS & RAVES:
Cute place with very affordable prices, however the portions are smaller then most Korean restaurants. Dok Suni literally translated to warrior women in Korean
