This is not the typical bibimbap I enjoy because it was served completely cold in a regular bowl. It was more like a salad with a bowl of rice. Speaking of the rice, it was cool, somewhat hard, not glutinous enough, and does not have the nice crust that comes from a piping hot stone bowl. As for the veggies, there were plenty of it on top of an endless amount of lettuce underneath. The egg was very small and definitely overcooked. Lastly, the sauce was okay, but a little thick for mixing. For a food court meal, it was passable, but I wouldn't order it again if I'm looking for good food. Lol read more

Got the haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) for $10.47, which is 30% off until November. The original price is $14.05. This tastes the same as all other places I've gotten it from, bland. Wish the jeon itself had some flavor. The sauce is really good tho & it saves the dish. Idk what kinda sauce they use but it isn't standard soy sauce. The sauce is slightly sweet, slightly sour & has sesame seeds. read more

Ordered takeout. Unfortunately I can't say anything stood out - the samgae tang is the stinky type.

The spicy pork lunch box was delicious and worth the money -- it came with a nice green salad, potato salad, rice, an egg side dish, Kim chi and soup. The H mart food court is now my second favorite food court in the city, after New World Mall. read more

The stir fried beef brisket with chives and onions is one of my favorites from Namudol. Have also tried their bbq galbi short ribs, roasted mackerel, and galbi tang. Their dishes are consistently good, especially the bbq options. Pretty solid choice for delicious restaurant style traditional Korean fare at food hall prices. read more

It's now open at the HMart food court 2nd part. There are quite a few tables in this food hall. There wasn't a line to order, but the fresh food takes about 15-20 minutes to make. Worth the wait. You can check out other food stalls while waiting. They have an intercom throughout the food court that calls the number when your order is ready. I like their soups. I had seolleong tang and it was very delicious. Very flavorful. They didn't give salt, but I added it myself. It comes with rice. The mackerel is really good too. It's a fillet fish with skin. The skin is crispy. Slightly salty, but is good with the rice it comes with. It also comes with clear soup and kimchee. A great meal that feels lighter. I also had the bulgogi japchae. The noodles are sticky though and it's all stuck together, like vermicelli. Different than some other japchae noodles. It's still pretty tasty though. They have 30% off until November. Worth trying, especially with the discount. read more

Solid food. Ambience is minimal as it's just part of a food court. Service is a bit slow for some dishes but it's fine. Food is solid. I'm swayed by the grand opening discount right now. Without it, I think it's just about par but given the location I think they're not great value. Galbi is an okay portion for the price but with good flavor. Tender enough but could just a bit more cooking time. Sides are a bit weak. Sprout soup (very sprouty), funky kimchi that's satisfying, and lightly marinated boiled sprouts that are mostly an afterthought. Galbi tang has good flavor without being too salty. You get 4 good pieces of boiled galbi. Missing the turnip but they have scallions, glass noodles, enoki mushrooms and thin sliced scrambled egg. Decent bowl. More than acceptable for a food court. read more

The food hall next to HMart has opened and until November 2024 they have 30% off their food. There is parking on the rooftop. It's a little confusing finding the entrance and then leaving as there are no clear signs. Namudol is one of the food stalls there with a variety of rice dishes. We ordered the pork belly lunch box. They did not say there would be a long wait when they took our order. There is a loudspeaker that announced the number orders. You have to listen carefully for your number but you can find a table to wait for them. There is a lot of seating but it still fills up fast. There is also a quick turnover so the tables are not cleaned fast enough. If you look at the receipt I included I had placed it on the table and it picked up the sauce that was on the table that I didn't notice. They called out number within 10 minutes. The pork belly lunch box comes with a lot of items like fried dumplings which tasted a little like fried wontons. The filling was a little mushy but still good. There was kimchi, marinated bean sprouts and a salad which weren't bad. A clear broth is included with the meal. The star of the dish the fried pork belly was deceptively simple. There was no marinade, it was just delicious pork belly fried well. Dip it in the sauce and eat it with the rice provided. It's so good. We were very happy with that meal. read more

This place is like a typical food stall. There isn't much to it, but I got a galbi tang that comes with banchan on the side, which was kimchii and bean sprouts.the galbi was very tender so I liked that part. The broth was made just right, but I didn't like the kimchii too much as it was a bit tart or too ripe for me. I like my kimchii, really new or unripe. I also liked how there's still a 30% discount put into place until winter. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

I love the Hmart food court. Fantastic value with the current 30% off the food hall and is so awesome to have around after grocery shopping. Namudol is part of the second phase of the food section and is my favorite so far. Their galbitang, grilled mackerel and chicken lunch box special are very good. The prices are okay even without the discount application. Service is quick but be prepared for how busy this section is. Thankfully it's on the outer area before the narrow hallway with seating begins but can feel cramped as you wait for your order. You also get some free soup with some of the orders. We usually have alot of leftovers after ordering several dishes here. Good food, great choices and plenty of variety for all. read more

This is my go to place when I go to H-Mart in LIC. I tried several stews and by far my favorite is the Samgyetang. The portion is good and best during cold days. read more

Excellent and very comforting and simple food to enjoy. Easy going self serving and clean place to enjoy lunch or a quick bite.

Ate and brought here today by myself for lunch that I had brought only the pork jowl lunch box that comes with soup. The service there was also attentive that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose, buy and eat. It was delicious and I couldn't agree more. Moreover, since it was newly opened, I had gotten a 30% discount. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :D read more

Food was pretty good and the wait wasn't too bad. We order a galbi tang and a pork bone broth, both of which came with a side of rice, sprouts, and Kim chi. Prices are decent with the 30% off, but too high for a food court - they also raised prices since opening three weeks ago. $18.95 instead of $17 for the galbi tang and $16.95 instead of $15 for the pork bone soup. I do appreciate that they posted the updated prices though instead of just charging them only (which I've seen other vendors do there). read more

Been here a few times now and very satisfied with all the dishes we tried so far - japchae, mackerel, galbi tang, samgyetang, and stir fried brisket. Good portions for the price, esp with the discount. The galbi tang actually had some big chunks of meat in it and the broth was super flavorful. The samgyetang was also delicious and hearty. It can take a bit of time to get when it's busy but otherwise it's pretty fast service considering how much they have to get ready! Would definitely order any of these again but also looking forward to trying out the rest of the menu! read more

This review is solely for Namudol's bibimbap. I've had bibimbap hundreds of times throughout my life (not only in Korea but in mutliple cities and states throughout the U.S.). This was by far the most basic version of bibimbap I've ever experienced. That's not to say it was inedible or horrific in any way. The ingredients seemed fresh and the rice was well cooked, and the portion size was definitely generous. It's just very basic. No meat, no traditional Korean vegetables (fernbrake, bellflower root), and not even spinach or cucumber. The vegetables that were included were as follows: 50% shredded lettuce, 10% mushrooms, 10% bean sprouts, 10% carrots, 10% zucchini, and 10% radish. It at least came with a fried egg, gochujang, a small side of kimchi, and some beansprout soup, but I've had way better bibimbap at a hospital cafeteria in Seoul and in a random church basement in Bangkok. You would be better off getting the pre-packaged bibimbap set that's actually sold in the prepared foods section of HMart for half the price. I would consider returning to Namudol to try a different dish the next time around, but their bibimbap is definitely a hard pass for me, in case I didn't make that abundantly clear. :) read more

Great food...Great service! 10/10 Very fast and the staff were very friendly and patient with me read more

This food stall is the most reasonable priced stall in this food court. I looked at every menu of each and this is the only one that I would return after their 30% off promotion is over. The other hot foods stalls look way overpriced, higher than most Korean restaurants. Namudol prices are comparable or a bit cheaper to the ones in Flushing, Murray Hill and Bayside. I order the spicy seafood to eat in. It was delicious and the portion was good. The seafood pancake was excellent as well as it had a generous amount of seafood in it. The rest I ordered to take home for my kids and wife. They all enjoyed the food. read more

The food was great. The resteraunt was so lovely and lovely looking. The eel rice I had was amazing. The service was incredible.

One can scarcely call this food. Disgrace to Korean folks and food. We ordered their bulgogi soup and it was a hot oily mess without any protein (beef). Clearly the owner is trying to save money at the customer's expense. Can't understand the good reviews, a quick search on Google maps will show that popular opinion is overwhelmingly negative. Avoid. read more

I ordered the Bibimbap. Which came served with no beef and over a bed of lettuce. Bipimbap literally translates to "mixed rice" so you could understand my disappointment when I found it was just a salad and the description explicitly said served over rice. I tried to explain this to the employees but understood this was not their fault the owner needs to make this clear and stop playing with traditional dishes! read more
