OKDONGSIK, translating to “a single-item restaurant” and “a restaurant where everyone dines together,” originated in Seoul, Korea, in 2017, featuring the beloved Korean comfort food Dweji Gomtang. Boasting a place in the prestigious MICHELIN Guide Bib Gourmand since 2018, OKDONGSIK's reputation soared, prompting its global expansion. In 2022, OKDONGSIK established its first NYC location following a successful 4-month pop-up, capturing the attention of food critics and enthusiasts alike.
At OKDONGSIK, the spotlight shines on their signature dish, Dweji Gomtang, a traditional Korean soup meticulously prepared with slow-simmered pork shoulders, green onions, radish, and other flavorful ingredients. The broth, seasoned only with salt, enhances the delicate pork essence, served with rice bathed in the broth multiple times and topped with thinly sliced pork, ensuring the ideal temperature for a delightful dining experience.
Chef Ok Dongsik, armed with a rich culinary background, emphasizes the purity and freshness of ingredients to craft authentic Korean flavors at OKDONGSIK. Focused on simplicity, OKDONGSIK's mission is clear - to deliver an authentic culinary experience that celebrates the essence and original taste of their meticulously selected ingredients, offering a refreshing and soothing taste that resonates deeply with patrons seeking a return to simplicity in a world of complex flavors.
