Profile

The predecessor to the more upscale Do Hwa (also from the mother-daughter team of Jenny and Myung Ja Kwak), Dok Suni's offers a combination of real Korean food (though not the tabletop grill fare that most Americans associate with this cuisine) and westernized dishes of the meat-and-vegetable stir-fry variety.

Recommended Dishes

Spicy broiled pork ribs, $16.95; hey-mul-pa-jun (seafood pancake), $13.95; bulgogi (marinated beef), $17.95
