New York K-Town: My Rainy Day Comfort Food ๐ง๏ธ๐
๐ Okdongsik 13 E 30th St, New York, NY 10016 As summer winds down in late August, the weather in New York starts to cool just a bit. On one of those days, with rain gently falling and the streets glistening, I found myself craving something warm and comforting. I wandered into Okdongsik, a cozy Korean restaurant that felt like a hug on a rainy day. โ๏ธ โ๏ธ The moment I stepped inside, the aroma of simmering broth and fresh ingredients enveloped me. I ordered a bowl of steaming pork soup rice, and it was hands down the coziest moment of my day. The warmth of the soup, the tenderness of the pork, and the softness of the riceโit was like a little slice of home. ๐ฒ โค๏ธThe kimchi here has a mild flavor, which is perfect for those who arenโt huge fans of overly spicy foods. The dumplings, filled with just the right amount of kimchi, pair wonderfully with the pork and glass noodles. Itโs a match made in heaven! ๐ฅ No matter how many times Iโve had it, I canโt help but praise the chili sauce that comes with the pork in the soup rice. Itโs incredibly fragrant and adds just the right amount of heat. Each spoonful is a perfect blend of flavors that warms you from the inside out. ๐ถ๏ธ โ๏ธ The restaurant itself is a charming spot, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure my experience was as enjoyable as possible. Even on a rainy day, Okdongsik felt like a little haven, offering comfort and delicious food. ๐ #NewYorkFoodieSpot #NewYorkFoodGuide ๐๐
