New York boasts culinary spots that excel in offering one signature dish. Yubu, known for its yubuchobap, features fried tofu pockets filled with seasoned rice and various toppings, offering a unique take on traditional Korean cuisine. Additionally, the zongzi vendor at the Grand Street subway station has become a local icon, selling beloved rice dumplings. This concept brings joy reminiscent of old-world specialty shops, reinforcing the delight of finding expertly crafted singular dishes in the heart of the city.
For years, the zongzi vendor outside of the Grand Street subway station has been selling some of the best rice dumplings in the city.
It feels a bit 19th century to go to a shop(pe) for one thing (the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker) in a way that always delights.
At Yubu, fried and marinated tofu pockets make an excellent delivery vehicle for seasoned rice and every manner of filling.
Yubu specializes in a Korean dish I haven't seen too much of in New York: yubuchobap. They start with the yubu, fried tofu pockets, which are simmered in a sweet dashi-based broth.
