    jja jang myeon
    Eunice C.

    My friend was in town and was craving for some classic Korean Chinese cuisine. I'm all down for the old school restaurant vibes but the food was nothing extraordinary. For a Sunday night, it was a bit slow. I've been to the Flushing location before and was told the Bayside location was better. Can't say I agree much but at least the customer service was alright. The tang su yook flavor overall was lacking for me and was over powered by the use of cornstarch in its sauces. It was like gelatin at that point. Jja jang myeon was decent. Veggie platter was saltless which is fine if you like to add your own table salt.

    I came here for lunch with my wife and her family. I am not a big Korean food fan because noodles and spicy food are not my things, But my wife says this place is good and I had to give it a try. And most of the dishes we ordered were noodles. I got a little taste of some of the noodle soups and thought there were okay. I thought the shrimp dish we ordered was good, and I enjoyed the side kimchi dishes. The service was as excellent as the food came out quickly and hot. Price-wise it's reasonable to compare with other restaurants in the area.

    Fried pork with sweet and sour sauce
    April L.

    We entered from the back parking lot entrance. Don't forget to bring your vaccination card and ID upon entry. For a Friday night there was plenty of seating. We didn't have to wait for a party of 4. For appetizers we got fried dumplings and sweet and sour pork. Not a lot of places give good portion sizes for appetizers. I was impressed we got a plate full of dumplings. Not just 3 on a small plate or something like that. And they were huge chunky dumplings too. Fried pork was juicy and saucy. For main we got the fried rice and black bean noodles. Both were average but they fill you up. You start with the hot tea set and the small pickled dishes. The red kimchi was great and it paired well with everything. Can't wait to come back.

    Kkampong shrimp

    When the restaurant is 3.5 stars you know it's good. Also it's been a really long time since I've been here. Same original owner!! We ordered kkanpung shrimp! Amazing!! It was so crispy and fresh! My mom and I split the spicy seafood soup and seafood jjajjamyung. So hit the spot and was so good.

    Been coming here for a while and love the food. They have a great lunch special which is basically a combo of noodles with some other dish of meat or vegetables. The servers are very attentive and fast. The place is pretty wide and there are a good amount of seats even for larger parties. Can't wait for my next lunch visit here. Amazing food, truly.

    Tang Su yuk
    Charley S.

    Good place. Nice food. Chinese and Korean mix. Another location on 144-20 Northern Blvd Flushing New York, 11354 near Parson Blvd right before Great Wall Supermarket. (大中華超市) Never been here before. They speak Korean and the menu is in Chinese and Korean language. The restaurant sign is Korean, Chinese and English language. Use both entrance to get inside the restaurant if Park in the back or park on street or somewhere else.

    Lajogee spicy chicken
    Dan K.

    Used to come to this place all the time but alas they are just not up to par. Their jjajangmyun sauce is tasty but the noodles are so over done! Came twice to confirm it wasn't a fluke. Their sweet and sour pork was so gristly. But their lajogee (spicy chicken) was pretty solid. The owner and staff are super friendly and having a parking lot is nice but just can't make up for the sad state of the jjajangmyun .

    Shrimp with garlic sauce
    Kris L.

    Best Shrimp with garlic sauce! Our go to for Chinese Korean food! Food comes out fresh and hot and service is quick and on point. Their noodle dishes are delish! The prices are very reasonable too for their portions. They also have great lunch specials!

    Lunch special at one of my favorite Korean Chinese restaurants in Queens. It's such a good deal for how much food you get! I can't wait to go back soon! I got the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) and the jajangmyun (black bean noodles). It's one of my favorite combos!

    Sweet and sour chicken!
    Jose C.

    This is one of the best places at Bayside. Food is so fresh the service is excellent. I order seafood fried rice and my friend ordered sweet and sour chicken. It was a great experience. I highly recommend this place

    Mandu and jjajangmyun
    Grace K.

    The taste of the food changed especially jjajangmyun. The pork tangsooyuk was ok and the dumpling was good but not as delicious as it use to be . I was super disappointed with the quality of the kimchi but the staff was friendly.

    We also celebrates our friends' birthday.

    It went well at Sam Won Gahk in Bayside Northern BLVD. The foods are super terrific. It's always when I go there and eat the Korean style Sweet Sour and Pork and Brown Bean Noodle.

    This is one of many nice and delicious lunch combos to choose from!   :)
    Donald K.

    I had the chance to visit here for lunch. They have a great variety of lunch combos to choose from. I chose the sweet and sour pork with egg drop soup and fried rice. It was very delicious and the price is very reasonable ($13.99). The staff was very attentive and made sure I was fully satisfied. If you're hungry in the Bayside area, then I highly recommend Sam Won Gahk.

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!

The location at Bayside opened about a year ago and we heard they expanded their menu a bit. Saw a beef soup option which sounded perfect for a rainy weekend. Like the pork, the beef was melt in your mouth tender. The beef consume was very light but full bodied. It may taste blander at the start, but it gets better with each sip. There were different cuts of beef (brisket, cheek, tripe) and can say I enjoy the beef soup over the pork option. We ordered a side of shrimp katsu which was so crispy and I was surprised to see whole shrimps! Their pork donkatsu was thick and also delightfully crispy with a side of pork soup and the right amount of banchan. I would come to this location again.

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!

They are known for their raw crab which I wish I could eat but I can't right now (I will be back to try as soon as possible!) but they did bring o a little bit with the Banchan any my friend thought it was great! The cold noodles were delicious as well, the texture of the noodles as well as the flavor! We got a regular one and a spicy one for the travel and both were great but I think I prefer the spicy one. The barbecue was great as well and the servers helped grill a portion longer for me once we asked them to with no issue! The store was pretty spacious and it was great that there was a parking lot because it was super cold and we didn't want to have to walk back to the car after a hot meal. Overall, everything we had we all loved and I will be back for sure once I can eat the raw marinated crab!

It was indeed a verrrry hot day so I appreciated how the AC was absolutely blasting. I almost did a double take before walking in because I genuinely cannot do hot soup in this weather if there's no AC. Thankfully, it was nice and cool inside, which made the meal that much better. Everything was so thoughtfully done. The banchan were dangerously good (I could've kept eating them forever), and the collagen gomtang was rich, comforting, and perfect to share. My friend and I split one bowl, and they still brought us two bowls of rice, which was sooooo thoughtful. The staff is amazing. My friend and I definitely got carried away catching up, yet not once did we feel rushed. Instead, the staff kept making sure we were comfortable and even offered us more banchan. That level of hospitality is so rare and honestly made the entire meal feel extra special. Also... please do yourself a favor and order the Jeju Tangerine Fizz. It was hands down one of the most refreshing drinks I've had this summer and paired perfectly with the meal. Amazing food, incredible hospitality, icy-cold AC, and an experience that made me want to come back before I even left. 1000% recommend!!!

Everything came out fast, the portions were solid, and for the price, it's a great value, especially if you're in a big group and just want something easy. We were a pretty large group, and the only thing that frustrated me was that the server wouldn't take our jjajangmyeon order until we had finished all the main dishes. It made the meal feel a bit more dragged out than it needed to be, and we were all ready to eat everything at once. Still, for cheap and satisfying Korean-Chinese fusion, it does the job.

The pork is crunchy, crispy, and covered in a jellylike sweet and sour dipping sauce - Jjamppong - spicy seafood noodle soup. Same noodles as the jjajangmyeon, except in a red, hot, savory, spicy broth. Inside, there's shrimp, onions, squid, and mussels. It's rich, hearty, savory, spicy, and really slurpable. Another highlight of this meal is the post-meal dessert. You get balls of crispy candied fried dough, glazed in honey. It's sweet and crunchy, chewy and airy inside.
