a variety of dishes on a table
Irene M.

This place is 24 hours open! We came here around 2 am and had soondaegook and beef tofu soup. The food was not bad and the waitress was very nice. One thing that I liked about the menu is that this place a lot of anju (side good you have with alcoholic beverage) such as fried gobchang, ddukboggi, fried seafood noodle, etc. this place isn't the best restaurant ever but not a terrible one.

Jokbal

Came here on a Monday night between 7 & 8 PM. It wasn't overly packed but there was a decent amount of people. The restaurant is spacious and clean with cute decorative drawings on the wall. My friends and I tried multiple things on the menu and generally they are all good. My favorite has to be the soondae which is surprising because normally Im not a big fan of it. They gave a good amount of soondae and was not grimy with the portion, it was super soft and did not leave a funky after taste as most bad quality soondaes seem to have. The jokbal was also good, soft and tender. The soondae guk was good as well. They have combos at a good cheap price which is perfect for eating lunch and or dinner with your friends. The service is good as my water was constantly being refilled and did not feel rushed while dining as most restaurants seem to rush you in and out. Great to come with family or friends. Will definitely be back.

Soondae stew! Tasted amazing!
Rachel K.

This place is finally open!!!! The new design is very open compare to the old store. Huge menu choices as well. For appetizer we ordered seafood pancake which was good! Can't go wrong with that! Now, I would have to say My favorite was The soondae!!! Absolutely love their soondae, it's sooo soft and looks so good! This place definitely serves the best soondae in New York! This is the reason why I am giving 5 stars!! Second favorite would have to be their Jokbal. It is slightly darker then most restaurants but it's very soft and doesn't have that pork smell. Finally the duck, not a big fan. I have tasted better duck meat in Murray Ave. The meat is very thin, which I'm not a big fan of and tastes like it was frozen before. Our server, I think she's new.. since it just open, burn our duck. If you order meat, like most korean restuarant they serve stew as a side as well. They also have combos to try different type of dishes for a cheaper price!! Definitely will come back again!!

Gross spam and hot dogs?! Didn't know that's what "meat" is

Came here on a slow Friday night to get some soup to go instead of just ordering Kim chi jigeae for 9.99 I opted for the one with "meat". Opened it up when I got home and it is full of spam and hot dogs wtf!? Gross

Dak Dori Jun Gol

Saw this place opened one night and decided to try it out. My friend wanted dak dori tang so we ordered a dak dori jun gol. The best dak dori jun gol ever. Very flavorful! Definitely coming here every time I crave dak dori tang.

Fresh ingredients and best seafood pancake in Queens! I like the menu changes depending on what's…read morein-season and everything I've had here hitsss. Must come for the seafood pancake - it's so full of fresh seafood and perfect ratio to the thin batter. Creds to the two people running front of house and kitchen!

This place is a little of a hidden gem and not quite like other Korean restaurants. But no gatekeeping here! We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

Tried this place for the first time, it was a Saturday night. We arrived around 5:30 table of 2 and…read morethere were 2 other large parties. It got busy, almost full house around 6:30ish. There's 2 waitresses and one busser, but I felt only one of the waitress was pulling the weight, while the other (maybe she's the owner?) mostly chatted with one of the table customers. I felt bad for our waitress she was so busy with fulfilling takeouts + dine ins and the dishes require a lot of servicing table side. She couldn't catch 1 second of break :( Food wise, we got their 2 person combo of spicy pork gamja tang and spicy rice cake which came with the steamed egg. Everything was so good, egg was extra fluffy, rice cake was delicious and the meat came right off the bones. They take a good variety of side dishes. My partner wasn't a fan of the gamja tang but due to feeling it's a hassle to eat meat with bones, so those who fee sim may agree. We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things. Don't come if you're in a rush.

Came here late night with my boyfriend - we ordered the squid and pork dolsot bibimbap. so good!!!…read moreGood portions and the side dishes were delicious :) We will definitely be back

The meat was fresh and tender. The service was great. The girl who was serving us, also cooked our meat. She was attentive to her customers at other tables. This Korean BBQ is authentic and I would love to come back again next time.

I was at this very tasty KBBQ place a while back with one of my usual groups. The inside is casual,…read moreand our waitress, Jane, was extremely friendly and helpful from refilling banchan to cooking meats and otherwise. A couple of us shared a $13 bottle of the green grape flavor of Chum Churum, a soju. In terms of banchan, there was a bunch. Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.
