Fodor's Review:

Not so much an authentic Korean eatery, Woo Lae Oak uses traditional Korean flavors to create an elevated cuisine in a tony SoHo setting. The food is spicy and flavorful: kimchi burns the lips and prepares the palate for such dishes as ke sal mari (Dungeness crab and leek wrapped in spinach crepes), and o ree mari (duck slices wrapped in miso blini sweetened with plum sauce). But fans of tabletop grilling will still be able to get their tender sliced beef bul go gi. Since this is SoHo, the tables are dark marble slabs and the lighting is low.
