However, I ordered the skatefish sashimi nengmyun and did not like the fish due to its texture. I will also say that all of Myung Dong's neng myuns are $22, which is very pricey for what it is. I also ordered the kalbi jjim to go and it was delicious! I would definitely order both again!

The noodle texture here is excellent - it wasn't soggy even when I packed it for leftovers. The yukgaejang is a little different from the classic version at korean restaurants. It almost tastes healthier (?) because of the thinner broth, veggies, and bone marrow. The only banchans served are white kimchi & geotjeroi, but both are good. We've also ordered the donkatsu (absolutely massive) and galbi jjim. The galbi jjim takes 25 minutes, and it's definitely on the sweeter side. Not my favorite. I'll stick to the noodles & soups.

There were more people than we thought would be there but not too many so it was still comfortable. With every dish that is ordered, free kimchi, banchan, rice and cold noodles are included and you can help yourself at the buffet area. Or if you don't order a dish, the unlimited sides are offered for $10. It's a really great deal and so healthy. Our spice tolerance is nonexistent but there are plenty of kimchis, pickled vegetables and other things that we tried. We didn't feel like we were limited in any way by that. The hostess, servers and other customers were so friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first time and we didn't really know how it all worked. We would definitely return for a fun and healthy experience.

*ppffffffffffft pffffffffft* (well, that was a bit more flatulent than usual)…read more"Very good, now can you blow a B flat?" So this is it, I am now the 3rd trombone in the stage band. Repressed memories bite in weird ways as I thought back at my high school days while munching on cold fermented veggies - back in the heady days of the early 90s when cellphones were analog bricks and a PC was a beige tower with an IBM logo embossed upon it, I was once a shot nosed, pudgey asian kid. I thought a Trombone will help me talk to girls (go with a guitar or a ukelele instead), and since I wasn't selected for the computer club, I ended up at stage band class at my NYC specialized high school. When you don't really care enough about playing to be good at it, you are going to sound mediocre, and when half the room is also winging it, the results were merely tolerable. After the band performance at an assembly there's a potluck, and they are ready-made, heat-and-eat affairs with items from CostCo or Boston market. It's a checkmark on someone's calendar, an obligation to be fulfilled without much passion or excitement. Just like the students' dispassionate stage band attendance, their boughie parents are feeding the class with an easy "out" - when I grew up in Corona the poorer kids and their parents did their own cooking, and I had some really spectacular food during the school potluck days. In the presence of affluence you trade quality for convenience and lost a sense of thoughtfulness... All of that rushed back into my head when me and the missus ended up in front of a fancy-ish storefront in Suburban Douglaston at what was formerly an Italian sunday gravy joint (Giadinero?) but now as a Korean eatery. Something seems off though...It's 1p Sunday - where's the customers, and why is it so devoid of the aroma of food? Kimchi is essentially the resurrected Kumgangsan, a former restaurant chain with locations at midtown K-town and downtown Flushing. They had a banchan store called Jangchi Jangchi but they went away during the 2020 pandemic. They promised a 10 dollar Kimchi sampling menu with rice, soup and noodles - this sounds great in early 2025...but is it worth it? Taken from a perspective of a community service joint, yeah, you won't leave hungry as it's all-you-can-eat. But if it's intricacies of Korean cuisine that you desire? Not so much. It's not that the cooking is bad, it's unexciting - for a tasting menu where you hope to taste the difference in kimchee varieties they are all about the same - fresh, cold, sour, but none particularly spicy, salty, funky or interesting. If your Korean auntie made something like this and she was told by her doctor to go easy on the salt or sugar for health reasons, you'll nod then gratefully enjoy. However, this is from an actual kimchi store and It's definitely very mild tasting. The same can be said about the shitake mushrooms and daikon banchan - the daikon is "soft enough for grandma" and both it and the mushrooms tasted like they fished it out of something else and marinated to recycle the ingredients. In addition to the 10 dollar kimchee tasting menu they also can serve you seollongantang, Galbi, bokkeum (squid) or the kalchi (grilled fish) at the typical price for a normal Korean sitdown with soju and a full menu, but they don't seem to have much turnover nor excitement. It felt like your Korean auntie's retiree cafeteria - to reinforce that assertion, when we ordered some steamed pork dumpling we got something that's a bit more bland and watery than expected, kinda like the challah and matzo ball soup at a diner frequented by retirees. We didn't go for their jarred kimchee afterwards as it was too plain for our likings. If we pass the area and want to get something cheap and filling, we might stop by...but with so many choices in the area it'll be tough to convince us to return soon...It was like sitting down in front of the band practice room with a trombone without much drive or excitement for it. Definitely an overly flatulent C minor...

As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a nice Korean lady who also served us. The menu options were a bit limited. We decided to get tteokbokki, soup, and of course, it came in banchans. The tteokbokki was good, however, I wished it were spicier and a larger portion. The soup was ok, given it was a hot day and my friend ordered it. I loved the banchans, especially the mashed potato. I didn't know Koreans had mashed potatoes! Overall, the service was great and friendly, a little pricey in my opinion, given we were on Bell.

I was finishing up an errand in Lake Success and in the mood to try a new KFC (Korean Fried…read moreChicken) spot. Last time I was in town, I tried ~$100 worth of Pelicana Bayside, which ended up being a solid choice. Everyone loved it. This time, I checked Grubhub, Uber Eats, Google Reviews, and of course Yelp! Don Chicken Little Neck was the closest spot with the best reviews. I also noticed there's a Manhattan location, as well as several NJ locations (Ft Lee, Pal Park, Englewood, etc.), which is usually a good sign. I ordered a Soy Garlic combo (6 wings, 2 drums) + pickled radish for pick up--and yes, the aroma driving home got us salivating so much that we didn't bother reheating and just dug in. An obvious rookie mistake, but it still hit the spot. The drums were HUGE. For anyone new to Don, I highly recommend skipping wings and going straight for drumsticks (more bang for the buck). Next visit, new flavor. Perhaps spicy soy garlic.

My issue was that the bowl was mostly filled with bones, and there was hardly any meat in my Short Rib Soup. I didn't order beef bone soup; my expectation was to get some actual Galbi for the exorbitant $26 I paid. I understand that beef ribs can be costly, but the price I paid should have included a decent amount of Galbi in my soup. I even mentioned that I'm paying the same as at other restaurants, so calling it "very expensive" didn't make sense to me. The lady at the counter was nice, but it seemed like the cheap boss was the one behind the bones-filled soup, probably instructed to save money. It felt like a complete rip-off, and I wouldn't recommend bothering with this place. Shame on the owner for taking their customers for a ride with this cheap move.

Even though they open at 11:30am, we were able to still be seated 10min beforehand. I guess they finished prepping early and were already ready for service. Within 30min of opening, people slowly trickled in. But even when we left, there was no line. So I would recommend to just go first thing in the morning. We ordered the kimchi mandoo, Dweji-gomtang (large), and the lard donkatsu. The kimchi mandoo was too spicy for me, but that's bcus I have a low tolerance for spice. My bf enjoyed it though, the skin was nice and thin. I really liked the Dweji-gomtang, it was so simple yet so comforting and it came with a lot of thin slices of meat. The donkatsu was good, but I thought the pork was a tad dry.

It definitely lived up to our memories, we ended up coming back twice in one week! Between our visits, we ordered the Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork, the Layoo Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork (spicy version), Kimchi Mandoo, Gabrisal Soyuk (pork collar meat), and the So-Bbol Gomtang (beef cheek, brisket, and tripe). Everything was delicious, but the standout for us was the pork collar meat. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and an absolute must-order. The portions are just the right size, and the restaurant has a fast-casual feel, making it perfect for a quick meal without sacrificing quality. Our kids especially loved the original Dweji-Gomtang. After trying both versions, I personally prefer the original pork soup over the spicy Layoo version, although both were excellent. The complimentary kimchi deserves a special mention - it was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect accompaniment to the soups. The Kimchi Mandoo also had a nice spicy kick while still being packed with flavor. We noticed a lot of the guests were ordering the Lard Donkatsu, so that's definitely on our list for our next visit. Safe to say we'll be back again and again!
