I've been to the Jongro BBQ in KTown Manhattan before, but this is the first time I went to the Flushing location. My friend chose this for his birthday and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to find parking in the lot shared with HMart, Pho Grand, KTV, Morning Glory, and other stores. We also did not have to make a reservation on a weekday night and got seated immediately upon walking in. The layout and decorations reminds me of the KTown location, but this is much better in terms of convenience and wait time. We received a thick menu and ice water once we were seated at our tables. The tables are very long and can fit around 8 people even though there is only one grill. One of my friend cannot eat pork, so we ordered two medium beef combos - one marinated and one non marinated. The banchans came floating out once we placed the order. There was kimchi, broccoli, radish, corn macaroni, perilla, and more! Theyre also unlimited refills! My favorites that are complimentary are the steamed egg and the tofu soup. I like eating rice with the soup! The meats were all very delicious! They also gave a basket of lettuce to wrap your meats. My favorite part is that the servers cook the meats for you and place them on the rim of the grill once ready. Overall, the two orders was enough to fill 5 people comfortably. In addition, we ordered two corn cheese which is what me and my friend always look forward to especially when it comes out hottt! After dinner, there's even vanilla Ice-Cream for everyone! It was so creamy and delicious. A great way to end a delicious meal. Great service, great food, great company! read more

We were in Bayside for errands and decided to B have lunch here. We have been to Jongro BBQ in the city and wanted to see how this location compared. Unfortunately, not well. Banchan was on although the kimchi was really fermented so too vinegary for Cathie. Maybe they save the good kimchi for dinner. I got the Kalbi and mul naengmyun lunch special and Cathie had the yook gejang stew lunch special. Both were just ok. They put extra sauce on top of the Kalbi, which made it too sweet. The naengmyun was ok. Overall, just mid. read more

Friendly staff. Great food. The server gave my son ice cream at the end of the dinner.

Jongro BBQ is a standout Korean barbecue spot known for its high-quality meats and fun, energetic atmosphere. The cuts are well-marinated and cook up perfectly at the table, and the variety of banchan adds great depth to the meal. It can get busy and a bit loud, but the flavor and overall experience make it well worth it read more

It was my first time at Jongro BBQ, and I was excited to try it. I am always up for an amazingly authentic dining experience. I was there for an early dinner and we were seated immediately on a weekday. The staff couldn't be nicer as we placed our order for a soft tofu stew, Korean steamed egg dish and Korean seafood kimchi pancake to start. We decided on a large mixed protein platter which had a generous amount of USDA Prime beef galbi and brisket and premium pork belly along with thickly sliced king oyster mushrooms. We were presented with a nice variety of small vegetable side dishes better known as banchans. It was a perfect accompaniment to the meal. Our server was very attentive and kindly refilled our vegetable sides several times throughout dinner. He also changed our grill grates and expertly cut up and sliced the various cuts of meat presented to us. It was done with so much attention to detail, that we felt as if we were the only table he was tending to. You'll be blown away and completely satisfied here. It's definitely a treat for all the senses, it's not only visually appealing but oh so delicious! Check out their website for a sneak preview of what to expect! read more

4.25 Should get reservations as it can get busy, especially for large parties Our favorite was the marinated meat tray. Specifically the short rib over the meat fingers (odd name i know). We also loved the kimchi, pancake and glass noodles. The gobdol was okay. Otherwise love the kimchi, sake selection. The service was fantastic. For the price and the amount of food we ordered it was well worth it. read more

It's always a great time with the service and the food here!! Had the large combo and also try the finger meat tonight.. a bit sweeter than any other meat but still great flavor.. the place is also top. They make you feel at home and you ain't cooking that's the best part lol read more

Tasty Food, But Turn Down the Rap, Please! As a non-meat eater, Yep Jongro BBQ isn't exactly my dream restaurant--but I have to admit, the tofu stew pot was surprisingly delicious. It was flavorful and comforting, and the banchans (those tasty Korean side dishes) were all fresh and really enjoyable. I've tried the japchae before--it was okay, but I've had better elsewhere. The vibe here is energetic to say the least--rap music playing loudly and lots of chatter. It's probably not the best choice if you're dining with elderly guests or anyone sensitive to noise. That said, I did notice they have private rooms for larger parties (8 or more), which might be a good option if you're looking for a quieter space. While my own food options were limited, the rest of my group--full-on carnivores--loved everything and left very happy. So if you're a meat lover or dining with folks who are, this place will likely hit the spot! read more

If you're in the mood for bbq without having to grill yourself this is the place to go. The beef platter was fresh and cooked to the right temperature of choice. The scallion pancake was good not as packed with seafood like other Korean places I've been too. Bonus, parking is available too (in a strip mall) Friendly service, they kept checking in on the cooking and water refill. I like how they cut up the meat for easy sharing. Traditional Korean BBQ place with communal cooking and eating style with the grill on the center of table. I'll be back with other friends and family. read more

Jongro BBQ Flushing - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

I've been coming to Jongro for years. It used to be decent, but recently I noticed the food quality and portion sizes have decreased while prices have increased. We would order the same things but never be satisfied as compare to before. Food also doesn't taste the same. It's very disappointing when your usual go to place has gone down drastically. Jongro is lively and spacious. It has a parking lot and a great location. But I think that's the only good that's left of this place. Service is also not as good. read more

Our first time visiting Jongro. Popped in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon around 2:45. We were still able to order off the lunch menu which was good but we also ordered a marinated kalbi entree and kimchi pancake as well. The kalbi from the lunch combo tasted better than the prime kalbi entree version according to my son. Service was ok, they brought out our spicy pork/tofu soup lunch combo very late and it was lukewarm so not sure what happened as it wasn't busy at that time. Decor gave off western bbq wood beams vibes. read more

This is an amazing place to eat k bbq. Great service and friendly. Decent amount of food with rising costs these days. Great selection of drinks. Meats. Etc. fun place to hang with friends read more

Great atmosphere , our servers were always around to cook the meat for us. Last but not least the food was delicious. The reason why it's not 5 star is because it's really not a good place if you have a party of over 8 people . We had 8 adults and 4 kids and we were so cramped on their biggest table . We didn't even have anywhere to put our clothes . They should make hooks on those wooden dividers so people can hang their jacket or purses. read more

Jongro BBQ Flushing - Beef bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

Well, let's just say I've been to much better Korean BBQ. We had a party of 3, and we each ordered simple things: cow tongue, marinated beef and another beef: including 18% tip, it all equalled to 144.00. That's absolutely insane, they didn't give us much beef because we were all still starving after we left. It was good, but it wasn't 144.00 good. Their sides they give you are terrible, the worst choices I've ever had for Korean BBQ. Check out my photo - those are the stupid sides we got. What kinda place is this? And they have their water in a plastic tupperware, it honestly looks so dirty I tried not to think about it as I was pouring my drink. I'm a smaller person, and their two stall bathrooms are so tiny you can barely walk into the stall itself and close the door behind you. I will say they were quick with service, but that's about the only thing they had going for them. Just so you know if you've never been here, this place is on the 2nd floor - which you have to take an elevator. So don't think you're going to find it off the street. I'm good - there was other Korean BBQ places on the block I could have used my money on. Better yet, Flushings not too far away. read more

Came to this restaurant with a group of co-workers for dinner. We ordered family style, it was a very good amount of meat for all of us. We definitely ha a great time enjoying this delicious meat with a lot of sides offered. Service was very good as well, guys were very attentive in everything. My favorite which is not in the pictures was the Seafood Pancake, highly recommended if you like seafood. read more

Hmm has the quality of Jongro gone down recently? I used to come decently often two years ago. I wanted to try it again this Friday night. There was no wait, but it was decently packed! We ordered a seafood pancake, beef brisket, and beef short rib. My favorite is the steamed egg and bean paste soup that comes "free" with your order. Super delicious every time! The seafood pancake was also flavorful despite not having much seafood in it. The meat, however, was not great. The beef brisket was too thick and slightly gritty. The short rib was not tender and hard to chew. I would come back to Jongro again for the appetizers and to see if my recent experience was a fluke since I have good memories here! read more

Definitely one of the better kbbq spots that's not ayce in flushing. The cuts were really good just a bit expensive in my opinion but I don't think you can find these quality of cuts anywhere in flushing. Overall, the food was really good the the service was really nice. Definitely a place to go with friends and families. read more

The beef short rib soup here is sooooo good and flavorful! It was pretty cheap from what I remember too I've never been to a place where they gave huge bones with the meat still on it. I think this place is known for BBQ but I didn't feel like getting bbq that day. This soup is a must! It wasn't too salty and the meat was tender. Perfect with a bowl of rice read more

Jongro BBQ Flushing - Beef Short Ribs Soup - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

What's not to love about this place! Excellent meats and service. Ambiance is upbeat and always has either Kpop or hip hop playing. I always come here for Korean bbq read more

I've tried a couple meats here but my favorite has to be the USDA prime Kalbi and USDA prime ribeye- its super tender! I feel like for two people you can order about 2 or 3 meats and already be full since it comes with many banchans, a steam egg, and a soup. The staff are very attentive - they cook the meats for you and after each cut, they give you some time to eat the meat before moving onto cooking the next. When we came on the weekends, there's never a wait - the place is pretty spacious. There's also a parking lot and it's right next to Hmart so you can always shop for snacks after you eat! read more

First time eating at this place. There is a parking lot! The short rib soup (galbi tang) was sooo good. They even give you 3 pieces of rib! I haven't been to a place that does that. The tteokboki was really good as well. The noodles were soft and chewy. Perfect amount of spiciness The kimchi fried rice with cheese was okay. I prob wouldn't get this again. Service was good and it's nice that they have a bell you can press for service read more

For the quality of the cuts, it's not worth it. When I first had Jongro in Manhattan, I remember enjoying my meal. But I'm not sure if the location changes their quality, but the experience this time around did not meet the same positivity. The place was more spacious and laidback feeling than Manhattan's location. The servers are pretty much around you the whole time to grill. The Kalbi tasted good but It did not have to cost that much for what it is. The Pork Belly was a bit dry, but had an equal ratio of oily fat and juicy meat. They give a few short minutes between each meat for you to eat before working up the grill again. Maybe they'd give you a break if you ask, but otherwise, they think you're in a rush to chow down! I tried their Ox Bone Soup for the first time, and it was a huge bowl! It had several bone marrows inside, so this feels like a bang for your buck. There is a subtle meaty flavor, but if you aren't paying attention, it kind of just tastes like salty soup. Our favorite dish was probably the egg souffle, which they steam on the spot. Jongro BBQ is supposed to be higher end Korean BBQ, but it just seems overpriced. read more

It's Flushing... and there's a parking lot! That alone made me love this place! I got a spot right in front. Prices are great! 8 of us went on a Tuesday to celebrate a friend's birthday so it wasn't too crowded. (I don't know if they do anything for birthdays, we mentioned it to the server but they didn't do anything) Service is okay, everyone is very friendly but nobody goes above and beyond. But that's okay I had my friends to keep me entertained. The decor is super cute. There was music, it wasn't too loud but also wasn't too quiet that you didn't notice it. The glass noodles? OMG! SOOOO GOOD! I'd go back for those alone. The beef was okay, kind of bland but everything else was delicious. They have this jelly app that is really good too! Also the kimchi there is amazing!!!! I'll be back! read more

Came here with 2 friends on a Saturday around 8pm. They told us there would be a 30-40 minute wait but it was much shorter than that - ended up being around 15-20 minute wait. The nice thing about this location is that there are a lot of stores nearby, and even 40 minutes can go by fast. The parking lot was packed so we just did street parking not too far away. We ordered the premium pork jowl, marinated kalbi, beef brisket, vegetable gobdol, and buckwheat noodles in cold water kimchi broth. As someone who rarely gets KBBQ, they do cook it for you so no worries if you don't know how to cook the meat. Service was ok, not hard to flag someone down as busy as they get, just to get a new set of chopsticks or napkins, or a spoon. I feel like the amount we ordered was decent! We finished just right without much leftovers. The sides were great, especially the steamed egg. The one thing I didn't really like, leaving this review 4 stars, was that the bathroom was VERY dirty. It felt like a porter potty at a festival, maybe just slightly better because of the immense amounts of toilet paper scattered on the floor in such a small stall. It was hard to find space to put my shoes without stepping on toilet paper! Gross! read more

This is our favorite kbbq place in Queens. When you come at a less busy time the service is great and the marinated galbi is fantastic. It's a cool space inside and there's the strip mall parking lot for convenience. read more

Absolute terrible communication by staff. We called earlier and asked what time is last seating. The hours state 11pm is closing time and so we called to be safe. The staff on the phone said last seating is 10pm. We get there at 10pm and they said the chefs already left for the day. We asked them why they told us last seating was 10pm and they said we have to come before 10pm. That does not make sense because I'm sure the chefs left way before that. I do not plan to come here again after the terrible service by staff and chefs. read more

First off, as a Construction Manager I loved the interior of the restaurant and apparently it's built just like Korea's street food stalls. Like many Korean BBQ places, you might first get taken back by the prices and true - they are a bit high, but the ban chan (small dishes provided) makes it up for a bit. The marinated kalbi was prepared ok (slighly burnt pieces), but flavor delivered. Seafood pancake was prepared well and had a good amount of seafood. read more

Jongro BBQ Flushing - Cool deco - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

Visited on rainy Tuesday night. No wait. They checked my vaccination card and id before seating. Apparently, they are under different name, Gangnam bbq, not Jongro. They don't have the combo menu anymore. We ordered Pork Jowl, Pork neck and cold noodle. The side dishes came very nicely. Kimchi, salad, scallion salad, marinated onion/radish/jalapeño, dotori mook, broccoli. They tasted really good and went well with the meat. Pork Jowl was my favorite. They cooked it really well. Tender, rich, not burnt at all but cooked well. I liked pork neck too, but it was little dry than the time i had it before. Maybe this part was just little dry. Overall, i feel like with new name, their meat quality got better!! read more

We have been interest in trying this place ever since took over the old McDonald's but wanted to have a reason to since the menu is on the pricey side. Well we have out of town guests and this gave us a reason to go. We made a reservation so there was no wait. The place was a full house as expected. I will give a rating for different parts of our experience. First, seating. We were a party of 10 and were seated at one of the double tables setting. Because this is a BBQ place, the tables are fitted with table BBQ plates with exhaust fans. With the banchan and plates, spoons, chopsticks, and drinks; there's not much room left for a party of four per table let alone squeezing in 2 more settings. There was no room to move and we felt like sardines in a tight can. So the overall comfort and eating experience suffered and was uncomfortable. So I would give this a 2 rating- . Second, food. We ordered several platters of meat, Korean style pancakes, rice cakes, stir fried glass noodles, assorted mushrooms and an eel bibimbap. Everything was fine except the hot stone bibimbap. It took the longest to come out (last dish). The eel tasted fine however the rice appeared undercooked so it was very mushy. Only the parts that touched the hot stone pot was cooked and had a light crunch but the rest of the rice was borderline congee quality not fully cooked rice. The dish probably needed a few more minutes of cooking time before being served. So the bibimbap gets a 2 rating and everything else gets a 3.5-4 stars. Last, service. It deserves and gets 4 stars. Servers were very friendly, efficient and responsive. Overall the total experience gets 3 stars. I would go to other places that can accommodate a large party if you have a large group eating together. This place won't be able to accommodate you due to its setup. read more

This is my second time here and the experience gets better every trip. The staff were great and very friendly. For meats we had the prime kalbi, marinated prime kalbi and beef belly along with a beef rib soup. My daughter loved the soup and wouldn't eat anything else. You are probably wondering why I got 2 kalbis right? I wanted to see which one was better. I normally prefer the marinated one over the plain one but the plain one was 10x better. It was a lot more tender and meat itself was enough flavor. I think the marinate caramelized while cooking giving it a rougher texture but overall was still good and better than most places I have been to. The beef belly is a must if you go. It came out thinly sliced and looked very similar to bacon. The staff does all the cooking while you get to sit and enjoy the food. They space out the cooking with all the meats so you could savor the taste. My overall experience was excellent and highly recommend you go there. read more

I really like the vibes of this place with wooden tables, fairy lights. Great place to catch up with some friends on a cold winter day over some sizzling hot KBBQ.

Food itself was not very memorable and a tad pricey but the vibes---unforgettable. read more

The service is AWFUL, our server (Dreymar? Grammar?) looked like he was over his job and was giving us a bunch of attitude before we even spoke! It sucked since we went for lunch and it ruined the whole day before it even started! Food wise: the meat would be a 7/10, side dishes 3/10, we got tofu stew which is 10/10 and a seafood pancake which was a 9/10! I just can't get over the service because receiving attitude from someone you never spoke to sucks! read more

Admittedly, most of my good times at Jongro have been at their Manhattan location (#1) but this Flushing location is definitely no slouch. Unlike the one in the city, this is a standalone building complete with a parking lot and what seems to be more space. More importantly during this time of COVID, they have extensive outdoor seating, which is not the easiest find in a place like Flushing KTown. Once indoor dining resumes, I think a big sell is their ambiance and decor. Not many Korean restaurant have gone to the lengths that Jongro has to really make their interior be as inviting and as thematic they have. The individual booths and tables are crammed into what feels like a maze of other tables, complete with hilarious signage (e.g. "Ride till we die my friend") and quality ventilation for the smoke-filled meals. While I realize they field the same menu, I am not actually sure if the prices are all that different from Manhattan Jongro. It would make sense that the Queens location would have a $1 or more off various items, after all that's how a lot of other big name KBBQ joints operate. That's not to say any of this stuff is all that cheap per se, it's still Korean food at the end of the day. Speaking of the food, the BBQ game is solid. Ironically, I prefer their non-BBQ items here, such as the stews, appetizers and banchan. I feel their kimchi cheese fried rice, budae jigae, and something as regular as seafood pancake are quite good. If anything the BBQ serves as a secondary option for me, but when in doubt go for any of the premium beef combos. They're pricey, but quite ideal for the average meat lover.ffff I think service could speed things up a bit, but I always sense they're a tad understaffed here. I do appreciate that they're open late and I think they're doing a good job with the pandemic feasts. When things loosen up a bit and the virus is no longer a threat, I'm bringing a giant group of carnivores / drinkers here to tear things up. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/jongro-bbq-new-york-3 read more
