Located at 67 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10010, this diner blends the charm of classic comfort food with a modern, inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for both quick bites and laid-back meals with friends.

The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an open, airy vibe with a casual, no-fuss approach to dining. Whether you're popping in for a hearty breakfast or grabbing lunch, the atmosphere sets the tone for a relaxed meal.

Now, let's talk about the food. Kofoo serves up an impressive menu that keeps things exciting, offering everything from classic American diner staples to more adventurous options with a twist. You’ll find the usual suspects-eggs, pancakes, and burgers-but with a surprising level of quality and attention to detail. The pancakes, for example, are perfectly fluffy, and the maple syrup is the kind that makes you realize how important a good syrup can be. The burgers are another standout-juicy, well-seasoned, and served with crispy fries that hit the spot every time.

For something a bit different, try the avocado toast, which has just the right balance of creaminess and crunch, or go for the grilled cheese with tomato soup combo.

What People's Say About Place

We are tourists and wanted some affordable but good Korean food. Kofoo is a little gem in this busy city. Amazing flavours and so fresh! Like my grand mother just cooked me a home cooked meal. Good portions and very affordable.

This was our favorite Cafe when we stayed in Chelsea. Excellent Korean Food but also a lot of other made to order choices including Bagels, subs, soups, and breakfast items. We ate there every morning and by day three they knew my coffee order and had it ready. Our favorite item was their Everything Bagel with strawberry cream cheese.

This is a Korean place located inside a diner. There’s a good variety of food to choose from, and the bibimbap was good. Portion was just right, and flavors were on point. Missing a fried egg though!

Food tastes like a meal from your grandma or homey vibes if I had to explain it. It's a very casual spot. The shop is located inside a bunch of other stalls. There's very limited seating, so take out is ideal if you're close by. Theres no bathrooms here either. The kimbap and soups are SO fantastic. I crave it. I felt like the portion for the squid was very little, but the flavor was so good. Duk bok ki was ok - I wouldn't say it's the best, but the omlete rice, kimbap, and yuk gae Jang was just so good. Soups are in bowls bigger than your head, and it comes with a side of rice as well. It's definitely a hole in the wall, and the owner running is very kind.

I accidentally put the wrong address when I was ordering via Grubhub and it was my fault. The owner extremely nice and tried to deliver my food to my work, so that I could have warm Korean food. The food was delicious and reminded me of my grandma’s food. I will def order again.

This my favorite Korean takeout place for the last 3-4 years. I have ordered food multiple times and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh, good portions and authentic. They make other food that's also very good. They're always friendly and the place is clean.

I think the photo says it all. Tuna kimbap simple and tasty, ddokbokki taste like my mum made it. So comfy cozy and friendly. Diner is simple and not luxury or anything but it’s comfy cozy and friendly like the food.

Perfect for a quick and delicious meal! This is a very cozy and simple place to get some lunch or dinner. The korean food in here was so good for the price. I got the spicy tuna and avocado gimbap and tteokbokki. Both were done in about 5-10mins of ordering and made nicely. The lady at the counter was so kind. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy quick meal.
