    Army Stew(부대찌개)
    Hana J.

    Wow! My boyfriend and I came here around 10pm on a cold Saturday night and were amazed by how amazing everything was! The space is extremely clean and nice with lots of open space. The food was incredible! Great authentic Korean street food with so much flavor and freshness, we couldn't stop talking about how pleasantly surprised we were! Our waitress was so sweet and even wrote a handwritten note at the end of the meal with some free chocopie for dessert :). Will 100% be back and recommend it to everyone.

    Pork Gimbap

    On a recent trip to Queens to pick up some artwork and visit the Louis Armstrong Museum (yes it really is in Corona Queens and amazing) we stopped at Lims. It wasn't very busy so service was fine. You actually order from an iPad on table, the waitress confirms and next thing you know you have delicious food. I had pork GimBap and kimchi. Both well made and tasty. My wife had a vegetable rice noodle dish that was truly phenomenal. My Japanese Kagua Rouge Belgian Strong Dark ale was a perfect malty foil to the Korean food. On the way out our waitress thanked us for coming and gave us whoopee pies with thank you notes attached.....a nice touch

    Kimchi Stew

    Incredible service & ambiance. The Kimchi Stew was delicious and hit the spot in a rainy day. Grateful for this little gem in the neighborhood. Definitely will come back to try more stuff on the menu.

    Amazing meal for a late night food delivery post flight. Super hearty soups and comes with good radish kimchi, white rice, and comes super quickly! Also packaged super nicely! If you have any late night cravings for Korean food, this is the go to

    The chicken was good as well as the bulgogi kimbap. It was nice and quiet because they're still renovating. We didn't know it was takeout only. But the server cleaned up one table so we could sit. It was so fulfilling, we got enough chicken to bring home to snack on later.

    Food was amazinggg!! Our server was also very attentive and nice! Had a great time :3 They gave us chocopie complimentary too!

    This place is amazing. I wish they had one in Brooklyn. Their gimbap is best in NY and my best friend is Korean and very picky and she agrees. I always order way more to eat later because it's so addictive. Well done. Hopefully they make the bar cool and hospitable so more people dine in.

    Boneless chicken

    Was craving Kim Bap and luckily that's Lim's kitchen's specialty! I went all out and shared the vegan and kimchi kimbap with my wife while I got the bulgogi. Only time I've really had kimbap is in California where it's more plentiful and this definitely hit the spot! It was tasty and a solid portion size. Love the punch of the radish. Ordered the boneless fried chicken too which was good but texturally, I think it could benefit from being white instead of dark meat. Fairly priced and I love that they deliver to the UES. Will definitely order delivery again when in the mood for Korean comfort food!

    I'm a total novice to Indonesian food but after really enjoying it at Sumatera, I wanted to try…read morethis place. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and doesn't feel cramped. I ordered the nasi bungkus with fried chicken. This dish comes wrapped in a banana leaf and then wax paper and it's exciting to be able to unwrap it when it arrives at the table. It has a complex heat, tempered with bitterness but is not overly spicy. The fried chicken was incredibly tender- when I attempted to separate the drumstick from the thigh, the bones just pulled right out. The meat is also deeply seasoned throughout. A really fantastic piece of fried chicken. There is ample sauce to season the soft, fluffy rice and the green beans provided a welcome vegetal bite. I loved the hidden hard boiled egg buried in there. I also got a very interesting dessert, Ice doger. It has a base of pink shaved ice and coconut milk and is topped with avocado, black glutenous rice, basil seeds, coconut and cubed white bread. The flavor combination was unique and fascinating. The creamyness of the avocado lends itself perfectly to a dessert, and the grassy vegetal after taste adds complexity. The herbal, sour notes from the basil seeds and the richness of the coconut complement the sweet base, seasoned with condensed milk and the cubes of white bread soak up all the liquid as the ice melts. I loved this dessert. My food took quite a long time to come, but the service was very friendly and helpful and my water was refilled often. The restaurant seemed to be filled with regulars who knew each other and the environment felt warm and homey. Very pleased with my experience and already planning my next trip.

We ordered fried shrimp chips, grilled Pompano fish, meatballs with swallowed meat, crispy chicken skin, and fried savory fishcake combo. My friend said Indonesian shrimp chips were not the same as Chinese shrimp chips. These were bigger and denser than the smaller more delicate ones I was use to. Plus the flavor is stronger. The fish was smoky, crispy on the outside moist and flaky on the inside. The meatballs had that unique texture of bouncy and chewy. It had good flavor. There were two different types of noodles in the soup that the meatballs came in. We were also surprised the fried fishcakes also came in a noodle soup. Apparently, the combo comes with noodles in soup even though that's not what the picture looked like. The crispy chicken lived up to its name; it was very crispy but not a whole lot of flavor. Still the crunchy texture made it addictive. If you like authenticate Indonesian flavors you will definitely be happy here.

Look out Katz's! I was looking for it up on the menu board, but all I saw was pastrami baos & pastrami rice box. I asked if it was still available and my man hooked me up by popping 2 thick slices of whole grain bread into the toaster and started to hand carve a big hunk of pastrami. I thought I was getting about half of what he pulled out, but he proceeded to pile it all on the bread after squirting on a slew of grainy deli mustard. He apologized for running out of pickles, but all I could think was "Take my money and gimme my sammich!" Even as I cradled the closed plastic container, the smell of hot pastrami permeated my whole bus ride home and I couldn't wait to dig into that salty, peppery crusted, fall apart tender meat sandwich. I'm sure the other people on the bus were jealous. Next time I might even try out some of the other rice & noodle dishes, but that smoky pastrami smell still lingers on in my mind.

Instead, I was served a cheeseburger with french fries, which was completely different from what I ordered. When I brought this to the staff's attention, the response was dismissive and argumentative, rather than focused on resolving the issue. Rather than escalate the situation, I chose to leave. Although I had already paid, I did not feel comfortable staying or continuing the conversation. This was especially disappointing because I have been a loyal customer for years, long before the new ownership. I used to visit frequently, and even now, I go out of my way, often 40 minutes, to come here when I am in Queens dropping off my kids. As someone who does not eat cheeseburgers, receiving that order was both frustrating and avoidable with basic attention to detail. I truly hope the new management takes steps to improve both service and communication moving forward. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not be returning. This is coming from a person that has been coming to this place for years. It's sad.

Still a good deal, but no longer the best bang for your buck any more. Probably why I don't visit as often nowadays. With that said, the quality is similar. Food is served on steamed trays, so you pick your choices over rice. Most of the flavors are still quite amazing, though some food lose their crispiness or a bit lukewarm sitting there. Regardless, always a good. On the negative side, the lady server is literally counting how many little shrimps are in my dish from one of my choices. It felt very odd when she took a shrimp off my plate and put it back into the tray. I asked if I could get a couple more calamari pieces and she said that she would have to remove more shrimp to do so. This was not how they use to operate, but I guess times are tough. On the other hand, I was given a lot more of the string beans with chicken liver, which makes sense since it's a cheaper protein. Btw, the fish is yummy, but you only get about 3-4 pieces. Therefore, I think you should order that item separately and not on rice if you want a decent portion. Bottom line, Khao Kang is no longer where I will go for a delicious cheap meal on regular basis. However, it is still a wonderful quick sit down or grab-n-go spot for some of the most authentic tasting Thai food in NYC for a reasonable price.
