For those not familiar with Korean food – This place was okay but sitting there amidst a young, predominantly non-Korean crowd, sampling my boyfriend's vegetarian jap-chae, I longed for the bustle, no-frills atmosphere of the true Korean shik-dang experience, where practically every dish is infused with meat or fish something or other. It's a good place to go if you have vegetarian buddies who want to try Korean food or if you want to introduce someone wary of "ethnic" flavors to Korean cuisine. I would have rather slurped s... read more

If you want good food... – The food & service was great! Good ambience as well. Would definitely recommend to others.

Go only if you don't care about the food – How disappointing...I came here not expecting anything amazing, yet I was still underwhelmed. For these prices--and this place is NOT cheap--I was expecting delicious--if Westernized--versions of my longtime faves. But what I received fell way short--medium-sized portions of flavorless "modern Korean food" served to people who don't know any better. And what Korean restaurant makes you pay for banchan? I suppose it's acceptable if your customers don't know better and assume that the... read more

BEST KOREAN FOOD IN THE CITY!! – This is the best korean food in the city! No comparison to the sometimes greasy and over sauced Korean restaurant in midtown and you won't find a more chic or sophisticated Korean restaurant .I'm korean and I have to say this is the freshest and cleanest Korean food I've had next to my mom's. The spicy pork ribs are out of this world! Spicy and succulent and it just falls off the bone! The spicy squid is also a favorite of mine; it is spicy and sweet with out being to oily and the squid is so... read more

More to Korean than Kalbi – wow. what a great place. The quality of the food, the scope of the menu, amazing. I was impressed with the seafood portion of the menu, along with the variety of soups. What an authentic Korean restaurant, one that understands there is more to Korean food than BBQ! (although the grill dishes were very good, too!) If you haven't been here, GO NOW! you will not regret it!

Cool and funky but expensive – Met a friend here for dinner, it was the first for both of us and we loved it! Funky, hip, fancy, darkly lit, modern decor, with a nice breeze flowing through the large window at the front of the restaurant. Our waitress (with a cool tattoo on her arm) was cute and friendly! Expensive food, but as a Korean-American, I can tell you that the BBQ ribs and spicy seafood soup were excellent. Good with a group of friends, *maybe* for a date, but it's kind of noisy. A bit upscale, but with a friendly ... read more

MY FAVORITE KOREAN IN NYC – Do Hwa is the best Korean restaurant I've encountered so far in NYC. Yes, the BBQ beef (bulgogi) is a little too pricey but the food overall is delicious. I also love the modern decor as well as the terrific service. As for whether the food is authentic, I am Korean and I think it's pretty darn authentic as well as delicious! Bottom line: yes, a bit pricey but great food in a great environment!

I love this place – If you want traditional Korean, you must go midtown. But this place is great for a downtown Korean restaurant - delicious food, good ambience, fantastic bartenders, and rarely a wait. I've been there countles times and am never disappointed. Sit at the bar and enjoy.
