Dok Suni calls it a day after 21 years on 1st Avenue



The standby at 119 First Ave. near East Seventh Street closed for good after service Saturday night.

The folks at Dok Suni thanked patrons for their years of patronage (owner Jenny Kwak still runs Do Hwa on Carmine Street) …



A new operator will be taking over the space, offering a Korean-style menu featuring items like crispy pig ear with jellyfish and mother-in-law chicken wings.

We first reported on this coming closure back on May 6.

On First Avenue, Dok Suni is closing after 21 years



Dok Suni's, the 21-year-old Korean restaurant at 119 First Ave., will be closing in the coming weeks, staff there confirmed.

A new operator is talking over the space... and is on this month's CB3/SLA committee docket for a new liquor license. There aren't many details about the incoming owners based on a look at the paperwork (PDF) that they filed on the CB3 website ahead of the meeting.

It appears that they will be open for lunch, with a proposed opening time of 11:30 a.m. ... with more Korean-style food... here is the menu that is included with the applicant's information...



Perhaps now would be a good time to pick up co-owner Jenny Kwak's book from 1998, "Dok Suni: Recipes from My Mother's Korean Kitchen."
