I was under the wrong impression that they, along with many other late night spots, had either shortened their hours or simply closed during the pandemic. Being wrong has never felt so great. This place is one of those IYKYK (#1) establishments in that there is no proper storefront, but is located inside of the Hangyang Supermarket (#2) along Northern Blvd. The in-store entrance has the words "HY Food court Snack Corner" which is confusing for first timers but adds a well deserved hidden gem status that it's proud to flaunt. The interior looks somewhat updated, with less dingy tables to group seating and more decor on top of it. The kitchen is constantly active, with dishes constantly being churned out and what I imagine is an endless list of delivery order requests. There is nothing that stands out about food for me, but it's good enough in a pinch. Their kimchi steamed mandoo dumpling was very excent while the other regular panfried mandoo was a tinge mediocre. Their soondubu, japchae, kimbap, and tteokbokki were very mild and average in comparison to what's out there. This is also the location for 92 Chicken, a KFC joint that prepares the food in the very same kitchen. Service isn't the warmest, but they do speak Korean and Mandarin with a limited amount of English. Parking is in a dedicated lot and there is a 3% fee for all credit card purchases. Just as the NYC rule always applies: When in doubt, bring cash. __________ (#1) If you know you know, boomer. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/hanyang-super-market-flushing-2

When you enter, there are a few tables available but you may need to wait during busy hours. The restaurant gives a casual and simple vibe. My go to order is the Donkatsu and Spicy Carbonara. The Donkatsu comes out extra crispy with a side of sauce. The Spicy Carbonara has a subtle kick to it. These dishes have always been consistent whenever I ordered them. They are also very generous with their portions. Staff members are friendly and always asked if I needed anything. I've also ordered these to items as to-go and I would recommend eating at the restaurant. If you do get the Donkatsu, you can always pop it in the air fryer.

Came for family dinner on a Saturday evening & the restaurant was about 50% full. There aren't too…read moremany tables and it's very no frills inside. We decided on 3 kimchi stews, thinking these would be more individually portioned but we were so wrong. Each order is massive & could easily serve 2. It's really worth it considering the price, but I thought the stew was kind of mediocre. Having read through other reviews, I had high hopes but was quite disappointed by how the stew lacked depth. The kimchi sourness was kinda there, but despite the large amount of pork & kimchi, there was no real taste to the broth. I did enjoy the tonkatsu here - it was really crispy & the order was massive. The carbonara is a little too heavy for my liking, but tasty for a small bite here and there. Also funny enough, with the restaurant name, I thought we would get cabbage kimchi as a banchan! Service could've been better. While not exactly rude, the guy who was serving us just looked like he was totally over it for the day.

Craving for more, I made my way out there with my husband and kids (I am never in Queens) and got myself three! I had tried their spicy marinated crabs once before. Fell in love and made sure to get one upon seeing them available. I also purchased the squid and oysters. Haven't tried them yet, wish me luck!

We were a group of 6 and came to Daori for some Korean BBQ. They're located on a residential street but next to several other stores and restaurant. We were surprised to see that they had TV's which was great since the World Cup final was playing. We are told the Iberico pork was the star here. We ordered several other dishes as well. The pork was indeed very good. My only comment was that the waitress seemed very stressed and frazzled. She was stressing about cooking the food and some of it was getting overcooked but also our banchan didn't get refilled because of it. Their English is also not great so there were times when we had a tough time communicating. I would say overall the food was good and we had a good time. It was also very reasonably priced. After tips, it was only $64 per person. We'll definitely come again.

You will not find modern fusion dishes here, and there's no bar, but they have your standard selection of soju, beer, and makkeoli. We ordered the marinated pork galbi and the marinated beef galbi as well as a kimchi jigae. The portions are pretty substantial, so we ended up taking the jigae home. They also gave us a complimentary daenjang jigae on the house as well as steamed egg and an array of tasty banchan (including spicy raw marinated crab and pickled perilla leaves, two of my favorites). The pork galbi was definitely the star dish. It was perfectly seasoned and very tender. I would definitely come back for that alone. The servers were attentive and polite. Overall a solid experience.

This place is known for their pork bbq, but they have good beef bbq too, we usually have the brisket here since I prefer beef. It's a small space and they do offer enclosed outdoor seating. The food is fresh and they have a good variety of banchan. This place is a hole in the wall, but the food is worth the visit.

Authentic Korean Takeout Gem - A Must-Try!…read more I recently stumbled upon this incredible Korean spot, and I had no idea how amazing the food would be! This place has me wanting to learn Korean just to better appreciate the authenticity and connect more with the owners. Everything here feels so genuine--from the food to the atmosphere. Though I'm not Korean and communication can be a bit tricky (since everything is written in Korean), the experience is still wonderful. The kind Korean ladies running the place are incredibly patient and do their best to explain the menu. Regular customers are also super helpful in guiding you through the different dishes. This is strictly a takeout spot--no dine-in seating--but that doesn't take away from how special it is. Everything is made fresh daily, and they only make enough to sell out by the end of the day. If you come early, you'll have a wider variety to choose from, so I definitely recommend visiting in the morning for the best selection! My go-to order is the kimbap. The menu has some English translations for the types of kimbap, and each roll is made fresh to order--so you know it's as fresh as it gets. My second must-have is the fish cake (odeng). It's absolutely perfect and pairs so well with the kimbap or honestly with anything you're eating. Prices here are very reasonable, even better than H Mart, and the quality is on another level--fresher and more authentic. If you're in the neighborhood, you have to check this place out. Just make sure to go early because things sell out fast. This spot is truly a hidden treasure.
