I had given up on Korean food in Manhattan for some time now. K-town is simply just K-town. Nothing extraordinary, just garlicy and sesame oil flavors I guess. For the good stuff, you need to trek to Flushing in Queens, or Fort Lee area in Jersey.
But last night, my wife and I dined with Devin and his wife at Do Hwa in the West Village. Not only was it very delicious, it was filling and probably a fraction what it would have cost if we were to eat at any of the midtown K-town eateries.
I think it was about 9 dishes in all, and a few drinks for $40 a head.
It's probably not the most authentic Korean food out there, but we all have a favorite Americanized Chinese restaurant right?
Think in those terms, plus really good comfort food. And for a full meal at that price, you really can't beat it.

Thanks for a wonderful birthday dinner at one of my favorite places in NYC!
It should be noted that while Do Hwa had taken off some of the better beers, such as a German wheat, in their tap line up a few years ago, they redeemed themselves by adding Troegs Rugged Trail Ale, which must be one of the best nut brown ales I have ever had. Unlike many brown ales, which have a cloying sweetness, Troegs provides complexity and a hint of chocolate in its brown. It is interesting that Troegs suggests pairing this beer with spicy Asian food (on their site).

It should also be noted that Quentin Tarantino is a silent partner of Do Hwa, I am told. Suggestion to Tarantino: Brew a beer and call it "Inglorious Basterd Ale."
