We pre-ordered the $155 black truffle duck at this Koreatown restaurant so that you don’t have to. It’s tender, and the shiny black skin clings to a melty layer of fat, but the mountain of shaved truffles is entirely tasteless and doesn't necessitate an order. The cavernous Korean-Chinese restaurant is still worth a visit, though. Especially if you work in Midtown and sometimes eat with more than two people at a time. Octo’s big, red leather booths and readily available reservations make it a perfectly pleasant place to have a group meal. Stick to regular duck, onion-heavy jajangmyeon and other small plates, like soy crispy chicken and ma-po tofu. After a few "spicy szechuan" cocktails, you might work up the courage to ask your coworker what they do every day.
