    Tang Tangsoo Chicken
    Hui L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was a really spacious place to get Korean Chinese food in the Bayside area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices were also pretty competitive in terms of the amount food that you get and the price that you pay. I visited with my family and between the three of us, we shared two dishes off of their main menu instead of ordering from the lunch menu. We got the signature jajangmyun and tang soo chicken (instead of the default pork, honestly didn't even know this was an option!). It's a nice alternative for those who can't or don't want to eat red meat. Kimchi and yellow radish (which my family said tasted a bit salty) were the side dishes that were served. Since it was cold outside, hot barley tea was served after we had placed our order. We didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out. The jajangmyun came out first and there was a decent amount of seafood in it (clams, squid, shrimp). This also came with two bowls of kimchi soup. The tang soo chicken was the table favorite as it was very crispy but not oily tasting at all so we basically cleared the whole dish without feeling too full. It also came with a huge bowl of the sweet and sour dipping sauce on the side. I really liked and was surprised by the complimentary mini puffs coated in hardened sugar. It was like tanghulu but a pastry puff version. If this was a menu item, I'd definitely order it. The staff were very attentive and I never had to wait long to order or flag down the server for the check. We arrived just before their lunch hour rush so it went from just us being in the restaurant to the whole place becoming half full. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom area felt quite aged and could use a deep clean is all I can say.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Jja Jang Myun
    Marina L.

    Came here for dinner on a Sunday and had a great experience. The staff were super friendly and the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was well lit and had a cozy homey feeling to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious! We got the Jja Jang Myun, which was perfectly cooked and really loved how it wasn't too sweet or salty. The Tang Soo Yuk was also delicious - nicely crispy and we kept the dipping on the side. Would definitely recommend those two dishes!

    A20 - kimchi seafood noodle soup, sweet and sour chicken, black bean noodle. It was ok.

    Came in on a quiet weeknight and I was the 3rd table being served at the time. You can easily miss it if you're driving on northern since this restaurant's on the service road side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Basic interior, spacious and comfy to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the A20. It was a combo of sweet and sour chicken, a seafood kimchi noodle soup and the black bean noodles. The apps (banchan) I received were kimchi and some onions/yellown pickles. Just ok. I like the fact you can try all of them in 1 dish order. However, nothing really stood out. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It did its job getting me full and satisfied but it was just mediocre. I don't think I would come back because there are so many other Korean restaurants around.

    Stopped by Joong Koog Jip on a Saturday at around 2 PM, and even though it was a bit busy, we got seated right away in their spacious dining area--always a nice start! This place is known for its ja jang myun (black bean noodles) and jjam pong (spicy seafood noodles), so naturally, I went for the half-and-half option to try both flavors. The ja jang myun came with a thick black bean sauce, pork, and veggies. The sauce is pretty rich, and while I get that it might not be everyone's thing, I really liked its subtle sweetness. It's comforting and not overly heavy. Then there was the jjam pong--spicy, packed with seafood, and honestly the perfect contrast to the ja jang myun. Having one sweet and the other spicy made them a great combo. Plus, they serve yellow pickled radish on the side, which was awesome for cleansing the palate between bites. We also ordered the tang soo yuk (sweet-and-sour pork), and here's a tip: ask for the sauce on the side. That way, you keep the pork nice and crispy! Overall, I'd say this spot has a little something for everyone. If you're not big on thick sauces, you might lean more toward the jjam pong, but personally, I loved the ja jang myun for its sweetness and the fact that it wasn't spicy (because, yeah, I can't handle too much heat!). Definitely planning to come back whenever that noodle craving hits!

    It's been a while since I had Korean Chinese food. Feeling nostalgic with today's meal reminds me of childhood. So good. Everything was fresh and tasty. Staff were super nice!

    We have black beans middle, sweet and sour pork, and beef pan fried noddles! Huge portion and delicious! I love Korean style Chinese restaurant and this is one of the best in the area! Have to come back soon

    This Korean-style Chinese food restaurant has an interesting spin on the traditional Chinese classics, as advertised. The food is tasty and unique. The service here is very fast, probably faster than ordering from a takeout joint.

    B12. Japchae with Rice
    Mei Qin Z.

    My partner and I were deciding where and what to eat for lunch; I listed several options and of the seven, he chose Joong Koog Jip, a Korean-Chinese restaurant near his place, which was just perfect since I was craving tangsooyuk 탕수육. As it turns out, we ended up not ordering the tangsooyuk, but jajangmyun 짜장면 and japchae 잡채 instead, which exceeded our expectations. * Ja Jang Myun (Large Size) 짜장면 $11.95 This comes in small or large, with a regular, vegetarian, and "very spicy" option. We ordered the large to share and the ingredients were plentiful-- with rich, savory black bean sauce over thick, chewy noodles and lots of cubed onions, zucchini, and potatoes. There wasn't much meat, which I actually preferred, and the banchan helped in cutting the greasiness. * Japchae with Rice 밥잡채 $13.95 Carbs on top of carbs, in my opinion, but who doesn't love carbs? The japchae was slightly bland but vibrant and colorful with shredded beef, onions, carrots, cucumbers, and red and green bell peppers. And of course, you have to dip the rice in soup (we chose jjampong 짬뽕) or better yet, the leftover black bean sauce.

    - Food Upon my family's visit here, we ordered Kanpung shrimp, omurice, and a large order of their signature jajang myun. The shrimp came with a sweet and spicy sauce similar to that you get with tang su yuk (in which I also reccomend as I tried that in another visit here). Can't go wrong with the jahang myun as this dish is their specialty. In the sauce were baby shrimp, oyster, potato, and onion. I would reccomend sharing this with others as the portion is huge. Lastly, the omurice. We packed this dish togo as we could not finish the things we ordered. Later on when I tried it, it was pretty good. Mild flavor, great for those who don't want anything too strong. - Service Good service, was checked up on a few times by the gentleman who filled our ice waters. - Ambiance [[HIGHLIGHT]]Big windows in the facility, good to let sunlight in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a big flatscreen TV playing the olympics![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Beware parking, it was a little challenging. There is a small lot by the building that can hold 2 cars at most. Otherwise you may need to find street parking.

    The best place to go for a bowl of jjangmyeon ~ quiet and peaceful aroma. Great staff and yummy complimentary dessert when paying the bill! Enjoy with friends, family and more. Thank you for a wonderful meal

    Ggan poong yook

    Post pandemic, this place is still a solid 5 stars. They give very generous portions of black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) and spicy seafood noodle (jjampong). I find the noodles to be flavorful and filling. Other go-to favorites include sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk or ggan poong yook) and also the nonspicy version of jjampong. I can never finish a full jjajangmyeon on my own and it is definitely shareable if you aren't too hungry or want to try a bunch of things off the menu. They also give these really delicious sweet crunchy corn balls as "dessert" when you ask for the check. They make them in house as well I believe. I like how the restaurant is open relatively late and has spacious seating inside, and they package their takeout very well with the noodles and black bean sauce separate.

    Great little spot in Queens to enjoy some jjang jjang myun and tangsuyuk! The service is friendly and the meal is well-priced! If you're craving jjang jjang myun or jampong, i recommend the subway ride over from the city! The portion size of the tangsuyuk is large-- split accordingly or take it home! Cheers

    I had been wanting to try this place and what a better day than a Saturday lunch afternoon on a…read moredouble date hehe. I was also crazing something lighter and Mediterranean so this fit the bill. On to the food, the sole and dips were the only thing we tried that was worth getting frankly. The chicken souvlaki was def the worst thing we ordered. It was too charred and completely dried. Just not an enjoyable entree. The sole was yummy but did not blow my mind. The Bifteki was good but not as good as the sole. It was on the pricier side. 3 entrees, 1 app was over 120$. The interior and staff were great! Unfortunately, I don't think I will return.

    Maria's Mediterranean has definitely become one of my favorite spots on Long Island. I've been here…read moremany times, and my usual orders--the Grilled Chicken Breast, Beef Souvlaki, crispy Calamari, or the small meat platter--are consistently fantastic. There is something truly special about their seasoning that makes every single dish amazing. What really sets Maria's apart, besides the incredible food, is the outstanding hospitality. Maria and her staff treat everyone like family from the moment you walk through the door. It's that rare, warm atmosphere combined with consistently delicious food that makes this a place I always look forward to returning to. Food (5/5): Consistent and amazing. The seasoning is excellent, whether you're getting the juicy grilled chicken, perfect souvlaki, or the crispy calamari. Customer Service (5/5): Exceptional. Maria and her team offer the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. Decor (4/5): Warm, inviting, and comfortable--the perfect setting for a great neighborhood spot. Price: Around $35.00 per person.

    An Unforgettable Omakase Experience!…read more We celebrated the 4th of July with an incredible omakase dinner at Masaki, and it exceeded every expectation. Every course was beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and perfectly balanced. From the delicate Red Sea Bream and buttery Scallop to the luxurious Toro with Caviar, Sweet Shrimp with Uni, and the unforgettable Eel with Foie Gras, each bite was a masterpiece. What truly elevated the evening was Michael, our sushi chef. He was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every course, the origin of the fish, the flavors, and the best way to enjoy each piece. His passion for his craft was evident, and his attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Dining at the sushi bar gave us a front-row seat to watch the artistry behind every piece. The quality of the ingredients, the precision of the preparation, and the genuine hospitality made this one of the finest omakase experiences we've ever had. Thank you, Michael, and the entire Masaki team, for making our holiday celebration so special. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

    What a sexy spot! My friend and I did a last minute girl's night for our joint birthday and we had…read moresuch a blast. I honestly wasn't expecting much but the service based solely for the Omakase blew me away. The Omakase bar was in the back of the restaurant hidden away. The space was very open and the ambience was chic. This is a great place for date night, mommy night out, or group hangouts as they have private rooms too. Every piece tasted very fresh and were quite unique. The steam silky egg appetizer with crabmeat and fish roe was simple yet delicious. One of the dishes was an uni toro roll that was placed on top of our hands and was sprayed with edible gold glitter on us. That was a surprise and it was cute. And that uni just melts in your mouth. We had this matcha pudding with I think had an Oreo sprinkle in it was fabulous. They also surprised us with an extra dessert cause it was all 3 of our birthdays. Very enjoyable experience. Our sushi chef was very accommodating and made our birthday dinner memorable. We originally started out with the summer special of $78pp for a 12 course meal and decided to upgrade to the 14 course meal for $98pp. There was an option for a 17 course meal for $138pp but we were very full towards the end. They also had this $30 lunch and $60 dinner 3 course meal set for restaurant week. My friend's mom wasn't a fan of raw stuff so she ordered the Chilean sea bass with risotto and she wasn't a huge fan of it. The fish was a tad overcooked and the overall presentation of the dish looked more of a Chinese fusion dish. The risotto had that cheesy flavor but the presentation with the Bok Choy and the risotto looked more like fried rice and was confusing. I would stick with the omakase, which this place is known for.
