I went to this place first of all because i was upset to eat at San Soo Kap San 2 ( at Northern BlVd) because of their rude server. And we all glad to find this pleace, all workers is friendly and the food is good too. We're party of 8 and all of us aggreed that we will definitely be back here. Our favorite food here:1. Galbi tang 2. Marinated short ribs 3. Marinated blue crab Overall the food was amazing, the service is good. DEFINITELY BE BACK HERE and will letting my friends know about this place too. read more

This place was a little farther than I usually go to eat but it was sooo goood!! My friends and I ate so much and everything was so delicious! 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! read more

A solid Korean spot that offers an extensive menu that includes KBBQ, bibimbops, jungeols, noodles, stews, and lunch combos. We came here for lunch as a get-together, and we ordered a nice spread to share: +the Haemul Kimchi Pajun - listed as A11; crispy pancake filled with seafood and kimchi +Ojingeo Bokkeum - listed as A15; stir-fried squid that had a kick +the Eundaegu Jorim - braised codfish in a spicy house sauce +Galbi Jjim - listed as A5; marinated and steamed short ribs with chestnuts, radish, and carrots in a sweet soy sauce +and, 3 orders of the Prime Combo - this set has a serving for 2; came with marinated short ribs and prime rib Everything that we had had good flavor, and the banchans were great. The service was friendly and attentive; we never ran out of the refills, and they took care of our group well. I'd like to try their noodles and the marinated crabs on the next visit. Good solid Korean eatery to get your fix. +generous portions +easily shareable +attentive staff read more

They give a lot of mini sample appetizers similar to the other Korean bbq chil sung garden, only thing is their appetizers are more seafood types so like dried shrimp and anchovies and such. The Fabio was really good, also the staff is really homely and concerned about their guests. The galbi was actually better than most places we been to, the restaurant is wheelchair accessible read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I have been here three times now. I had Korean BBQ the first two times. Last night, I had some soup/stews and marinated raw crabs. I would say this is a very solid restaurant overall. While the Korean BBQ was decent, my favorite thing so far is definitely the Black Goat Soup from last night. I would definitely go back for that again. My second favorite thing might be their Soy Sauce Marinated Raw Blue Crabs. The Galbijim was super tender, but the sauce/soup was way too sweet. The owner is a super friendly old lady from Seoul, who has been in the US for 60 years. She chatted with us and mentioned how much she loves the US and NYC. As for the servers, we were in an isolated room and sometimes it did feel like they forgot about us. When they do come by, they were nice. The restaurant does get some other local clientele, but it's mostly filled by Koreans. That's always a good sign. In an area with a growing population of Koreans, this place will be busy for a long time imho. read more

I am drooling just thinking about the delicious soy marinated crabs and kalbi from this restaurant. This is a wonderful spot for Korean barbecue and their other dishes are just as incredible. I was able to share many items with my party and never stopped eating. My top bites had to be the crab, kalbi and their cold noodles. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Especially that crab. Their kalbi is extremely tender and silky tasting in my opinion. It really leaves you wanting more. I'd highly recommend this spot if you're in the area but make sure you come hungry! read more

If Korean BBQ is on your mind and you're anywhere near Queens, Sung Book Dong should be top of mind. Our family ordered servings of both the marinated and plain short ribs and I was shocked by how tender and flavorful these meats were. The server comes by to cook, flip, and cut the meats on a tabletop grill so that all you need to do is to have your chopsticks and appetite ready. Best of all, they use a gas grill AND a low-hanging vent over the tabletop grill. I know there are folks out there who'll argue the merits of cooking over charcoal briquets (which some other restaurants do), but there's nothing worse than having dinner and then smelling it on your clothes for days to come. Ordering any of the BBQ meats not only means you get to watch the best meat-based tabletop cooking show; it also means the rest of your table space will be littered with all kinds of banchan, or free side dishes. You'll see all the standards like a dressed salad, kimchi, and sesame-seasoned spinach, but there's all kinds of other special ones here - kabocha squash salad, a savory Korean egg soufflé, and raw marinated crab. We also tried the seafood pancake, which was outstanding. Crispy, full of seafood, and sizable enough to share as a party of four, this was a lovely accompaniment to all the meat. If there are downsides, it's with the little things. While the interior of the restaurant is pretty large, the tables are fit in close together so get ready to eavesdrop on lots of conversations at neighboring tables (and vice versa). This restaurant is a hotspot for Korean BBQ and it shares space with a few other businesses in the complex, so what little parking is available in the lot goes fast. We're often better off finding street parking along neighboring streets. read more

OMG they had the most tender meat I've ever had at a Korean bbq place. The bulgogi and short ribs (their special marinade not LA galbi) almost melts in your mouth and wasn't too sweet. The banchan that came out was more on the simple side. Good but nothing to brag about. The cold noodles broth was like a slushie with great flavor and acidity. They do bring out extra vinegar and hot mustard on the side so if you like your cold noodles extra vinegary or want a slight kick, go for it! Super refreshing and perfect for the warm weather we've been having. Good service. Server took the time to explain/answer all the questions I had. This is not AYCE but they do have different meats as a la carte or have meat combo options. I didn't get to take a picture of all the menu pages but I included the lunch and meat combo menu. PARKING- the lot is very small. I got lucky with a parking spot in front right before lunch rush hour. There is a garage in the plaza but I'm not sure if they charge. Seems like a lot of people park on the street. read more

It's a restaurant tucked away in a small plaza in Little Neck. Food wise, this place is as authentic and bomb as it gets. The banchan is homemade, unique and super tasty. They have white kimchi, which is a 10/10 in taste and texture. They also give soy sauce marinated raw crabs, anchovies with peppers, and this egg omelette. I got the bulgogi dolsot bibimbap. It was a huge portion size and the flavor was spot on. The accompanying vegetables in the bibimbap were sooo good. Have also had their spicy soondubu, and the flavor was rich and deep. At the end of the meal they also give a small cup of homemade sikhye, which is super refreshing. Highly recommend this place. Service is 10/10 as well, the owner is an older lady that's always there, she's friendly and always asks us how our meal is. read more

We heard they are very generous when it comes to banchans so had to come and see for ourselves. The rumors are true! 11 plates of banchan is pretty amazing and uncommon these days. Tried soy marinated raw crab and the clam and spinach stew. We thought the soy marinated crab was fantastic! The clam soup had 3-4 tablespoons of minced garlic at the end which was hard to finish without getting a mouth full of garlic bits. They are known for their Korean BBQ so curious to try that next. read more

High quality marinated short ribs - one of my favorites in the Queens area. You pay for what you get - 1 serving of short ribs is about $56. Expect to pay about $80-100/pp depending on the cuts of meat you get and drinks you might have as well. Server will cook it for you perfectly and provide you with your side dishes, drinks, etc. Service is usually pretty good, although they are usually incredibly busy so you may have to flag someone down if you need something urgently. Several tables for bbq along the perimeter and non bbq tables in the center. Tables are good for both small and larger groups. read more

What the hell, this place is a must-visit. The food is fab, and you'll experience the Korean service here, but if you want authentic, this is what you'll get in Korea. So think of it as an experience and try the food. We also paid a tremendous amount for the aged kimchi with pork, DAMN. It fed 3 people with 1-2 servings of leftovers, and it was DELISH. I am bookmarking and definitely coming back... Thank you, please don't close!! read more

Love this place! Great set menu for la galbi and soondubu! Love the soy marinated crabs! Service is amazing!

Very good spot for takeout. I've not dined in. Food is on point, authentic. They have marinated raw crab. I'm a regular.

Food here is always good with friendly service. The parking lot gets crowded though so you might be able to find street parking as well. I LOVE their combo specials. read more

We used to come here often with family, so when my relatives visited from Korea after a long time, we thought Seongbuk-dong would be the perfect place for dinner. Unfortunately, the experience was anything but pleasant. Our group had 4 adults and 2 kids. After ordering 4 portions of meat, we wanted to add some other dishes. That's when the waitress quietly told us we had to order at least 5 portions of meat. This made no sense to us, so we asked the owner directly. Instead of giving us a proper explanation, he just insisted on his own rules and even yelled at us to leave if we didn't like it. With family visiting from abroad, this was extremely embarrassing and frustrating. We ended up walking out because we couldn't bear staying any longer. The service here was unbelievably rude, and the owner's attitude was completely unprofessional. We won't be coming back, and I sincerely hope others don't have to go through the same kind of experience we did. read more

I came here for dinner last night with a party of 4 adults and 2 children. We placed an order for 3 meat combinations and one pancake, but the waitress immediately seemed upset and began pressuring us to order more meat. So we added a beef bibimbop. She forthright told us to add more raw meat. When we politely declined, she insisted again, claiming we didn't meet the minimum--despite there being no signage or mention of a minimum order policy. She then loudly called out to her manager from across the restaurant, which was uncomfortable and unprofessional. Unfortunately, the service only went downhill from there. We were largely ignored for the rest of the evening and had to flag staff down multiple times just to get basic requests fulfilled. At one point, we noticed we didn't receive the raw crab banchan that other tables were getting. When we asked the waiter, he looked around our table, appeared to mentally tally our order, gave a slight shake of his head, and walked away without saying anything. About ten minutes later, he silently dropped the dish at our table without a word. Overall, we all left disappointed--not because of the food, but because of the poor service and how we were treated. I noticed unless you speak Korean, expect a subpar experience. I wish we read Google reviews before coming here as this is a repeat offense apparently. This restaurant clearly has few competitors in the area, which might explain their arrogance. Had it been located in Flushing, where standards are higher and competition is fierce, they wouldn't be so high and mighty. read more

I never leave reviews and i hate to leave a bad one because i know how it affects the business.. With that being said, I am so annoyed with the food and service that I had to write one. Got the marinated beef (galbi) and it was fatty and mid at best. The rice smelt like it was in the rice cooker for days and tasted awful. The side dishes were terrible and a quarter of it seemed spoiled. The peppers looked spoiled the lettuce was old and flimsy. Didn't even get the steamed eggs that every bbq spot gives, and they blamed it on "it's late, sorry". Expensive and not worth it, there are dozens of way better spots, DO NOT waste your time with this placed, sucha disappointment. I sound like a karen but it had to be done, step your game up if you dont want to go out of business. read more

Really enjoyed the loud atmosphere, reminds me of Ktown... a little old school, meat quality was just ok, nothing spectacular that would require a 2nd visit. Service is insanely fast! They want to turnover the tables mad quick. We were a party of 12... so we took up precious commodity... we ordered, got food right away and finished within an hour and 15 mins. The Ahjummas kept the food moving! The bus boys removed plates quick and we ate fast. We ordered a bunch of BBQ meats, pork belly, pork jowl... short ribs, briskets... fried mandu, japchae, pancakes and soy marinated raw crabs... not enough roe... it was ok. Also got a hotpot and it was too much food... The banchans were plenty and we all left very very full! Just be prepare for a lightening fast meal. Have fun, eat and get out. #yelpinginqueens #kbbq #yelplife read more

With all the Korean BBQ places in Queens I finally ended up at Sung Book Dong. To say I love Korean barbecue would be an understatement. The restaurant is large with each table having its own hanging vacuum for the smoke from the barbecue to go into. The portions of the food are quite nice so we ordered a set of steak barbecue and a fish soup. The staff was quick to get our order and start cooking it for us. They were extremely attentive and continued to run over to make sure the food was being cooked properly and drinks were flowing. The food was quite tasty and flavorful. read more

Our local kbbq spot. We come here for lunch often. They are very generous with many ban chan side dishes- even marinated soy crab though you might have to ask for it. I generally go for the kimchi pork sundubu or one of the spicy stir fry's. Galbi can be hit or miss. We came here for BBQ one night too and enjoyed it. They are a touch on the pricier side for what you get. One of our favorite parts of the meal though is the sweet rice sikhye they give at the end of every meal, it's so refreshing and delicious. read more

Amazing side dishes and amazing crabs. The crabs were so fresh. You could tell because the seasoning is minimal (very light sweet soy sauce). The side dishes were so good and the white napa cabbage kimchi the GOAT. It was super refreshing. I really wanted to ask for their recipe. read more

This is the first time I've ever had KBBQ, my Korean friend kept raving & stated we had to go to one that was "authentic" so I took her word! We called another place nearby and the wait was an hour long and I was hangry so that was a quick no. I decided to call & the lady that picked up the phone said "come on by ladies!" and I knew right away this was the spot I needed to go to. We arrived and the lady was so welcoming; had our table ready. As for food, my friend took over so I honestly could not tell you what I ate - all I know is that it was delish! They end off with a cup of tea which ended the meal perfectly! A great first KBBQ experience! read more

Our go to Korean. Never a fail. Only issue may be the noise level, especially with a group of golfers right next to you. To be fair, we were a fairly large group on a Monday night and the source of the noise level that night so can't really complain. Still, food is worth it all. Every dish is perfect and the service impeccable. Parking lot is small but there is usually some street parking on Northern. read more

Food here was amazing and delicious regarding what we had. Japche, Kimchi Pajun, Sung Book Dong Special Galbi, and Kalbitang were all fabulous!!!!! We did have the kimchi pancake but it was not as impressive as the other items we had. The service was nice, the ambiance was great, the location was clearly authentic as heck as my girlfriend and I were the only non Koreans there. Absolutely we shall go there again! read more

Food 4/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Good food and quality. Ordered a bunch of different types of dishes... everything was pretty good and nothing much to complain about. I guess only thing that bothered me was my to go order. I dined in and placed a to-go order. The order was done however it was left sitting for a very long time. We asked them about it and was informed they left it in the front and forgot to inform us. So... I guess if you place a Togo order when dining in just follow up time to time so you don't need to wait for a very long time. read more

Very busy on a Saturday night and it wasn't even 6pm. The staff was very quick to clean and set up our table for six. We ordered three meats to be cooked at the table on the grill. The Bugolgi, chicken and pork belly were the best sharing choices. We also ordered: - Rice cakes with beef broth soup (not spicy), comes with egg, beef slices and delicious rice cakes. - Japchae - these cellophane noodles were delicious, kind of sweet yet peppery. Lots of veggies and mushrooms too. - Large steamed egg, what a delicious souffle! - Mandu Gu - fried dumplings were crisp and very tasty. I liked the filling, it was a good mix of beef and greens. - chicken Bibimbap - tender chicken slices and veggies served in a hot plate with rice. - Seafood pancake - so good when it's fresh and hot, served also on a hot plate. It was a little light on the filling but the searing was spot on. The ban chan was generous and had a good variety. They offered the soy marinated crab, apple and potato salad, seaweed, kimchi, cold steamed egg, cabbage, lettuce salad, pickled cucumbers, and burdock. Best was the tofu stew. This was the perfect dinner on a cold Winter evening. The wait staff was attentive while cooking at the table and they brought out our food quite quickly. I wish we had a second to breathe! Each course came out straight away without much of a pause. We had to use some of our neighbors table space. read more

Good food, great service! Staff cooks the bbq for you. Be careful of over ordering the bbq meats, though you can take home. The bulgogi, samgyupsal, and spicy chicken are recommended. The banchan is great. Lots of dishes cone out for you to snack on or eat with your bbq meats or wrap in your ssam. The other side dishes are good, too, like the pajun, bibimbap, sundubu and japchae. Remember to get some soju as well! read more

The food here is excellent! The spicy squid entree had so much flavor and the spice level was good. The short rib was marinated well and cooked to perfection. We also had the scallion pancake and the dumplings. I preferred the dumplings over the pancake but both were tasty. The service was fast and friendly, we got our food in minutes. The ambiance of this restaurant is more so mom and pop authentic food. No extra frills and loud music. It's a nice spot to go to actually sit and be able to talk to your group. Overall would highly recommend and I will definitely be back! read more

Probably more a 4.5 since I really enjoyed my experience. My party of 3 arrived around 5pm on a Sunday and it was already popping and it stayed very busy throughout our meal. Everything we ordered (standard stuff: soondubu, budae jjigae, marinated galbi and pork, seafood pancake) was tasty and I really like 1. that they cook your meat for you and 2. every table has a vent so the entire restaurant isn't smoky and your clothes won't smell like BBQ. This isn't a fancy restaurant but it really elevated the experience. Strongly recommend even for large groups as I saw a few families with ~8-10 people too. Keep in mind that there isn't a lot of parking available in the designated lot so you likely may need to park on the street nearby. We luckily found a spot that was a short walk away but I would certainly prepare for having to circle around. read more

Came to Sung Book Dong several times and definitely one of our favorite korean BBQ places on Long Island! There is a parking lot right outside of the restaurant so parking is really convenient. We never really make reservations and usually get seated immediately. The restaurant is spacious and our servers are usually very efficient! The quality of the meal is amazing, always very fresh. We usually get the kalbi and pork belly and would recommend both! What I loved about this place is that they had marinated crabs as part of the side dishes; at some point I think they took that away but still had a lot of great side dishes! Check our Sung Book Dong if you are looking for a great KBBQ place on Long Island! read more

Been to this place twice and both visits have been stellar. The first visit was mainly a Kbbq visit and the second visit was mainly a raw crab and stew visit and both were great. The place is pretty no frills but man is the food good. The food: Bo Yang Tang- Goat Stew with Fresh Sesame Leaf & Vegetables. My friend ordered this and I took some of her soup and wow, was this good. I don't think of Koreans and goat but this was a winner. I thought the goat was prepared beautifully and the broth packed so much flavor. If you are into goat, I highly recommend this dish. Ganjang Gejang Jeongsik- Soy Marinated Crabs. This dish was the reason for the second visit and it did not disappoint. The crabs were so well marinated and the crabs were so fresh. They had a wonderful natural sweetness and the marinade elevated the crab flavor just a bit more. If you can get over the idea of eating raw crab then you should get this. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LGv6uu4syywXe8FTdh0YuA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Aljjigae- Codfish Roe with Assorted Vegetables in Spicy Stew. I thought this stew was made really well. I thought the roe had wonderful texture and the soup overall had good flavor. While I did enjoy this dish, I would especially enjoy it on a cold day, I felt the dish was a bit one note. My mouth was getting tired of the flavor after a while. The goat dish I feel I could have finished the whole thing. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=T1uNsbNxyMzY2Dx-9wLDeA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

We visited this restaurant on Father's Day with a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 children). After waiting over 40 minutes to be seated, we placed a reasonable order for our group: one seafood hot pot, two combo meals, and a seafood pancake. However, to our surprise, the server told us they would not start preparing our food because we "didn't meet the minimum order" for an 8-person table. There were no visible signs, notices, or information on the menu about any minimum spending requirement for seating -- and we were never informed of this before or during the ordering process. we offered to order more food if needed -- but the staff refused to start preparing anything at all unless we first committed to ordering more. This left us confused, frustrated, and disappointed, especially with hungry kids waiting after a long wait. If there is a policy like this, it should be clearly stated and communicated upfront -- not enforced arbitrarily after this long wait. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, and we hope the management takes this feedback seriously to improve communication and transparency with future customers read more

Another great find. We wanted Korean BBQ and the combo order was perfect. Two types of meat and two bottles of soju. We also ordered some stews and soups. Great combo to fill our stomachs before heading back home. Meat was VERY tender and tasty. The raw soy based crab bang chan wasn't salty and nice addition. All bang chan (side dish) was so good. Other dishes from other tables looked delicious as well. Will definitely have to come back to try other items. read more

What a fantastic kbbq restaurant that's off the beaten path. If you're in the area or just want to find a really good kbbq restaurant out of the sea of kbbq restaurants that drown in Flushing/Bayside...come to Sung Book Dong. There's plenty of parking (street parking) and the food and service is fantabulous. Came on a Friday night at around 6pm and still had to wait 30 min for a table and it was worth it. The waiting area is tiny (can you even call it a waiting area?) but you can wait outside. The host/boss lady would just call out your name when your table is ready so be sure you're within earshot. You snooze, you lose. We had their marinated raw crab (and yes, it's probably the best I've had in Queens), their cold noodle (server told us to add mustard and a dash of vinegar...uh-mazing), and their marinated short rib. There was so much food for just 3 dishes, our bellies were stuffed half-way but it would be sinful to take it to go...so we powered through. Other patrons seemed happy and the atmosphere was just perfect. Can't wait to come back and will likely do cold noodle, marinated crab, and something new. read more

This is the best korean restaurant that takes pride in real authentic korean food. The quality of the foods, the presentation of the side dishes and service and price is amazing!

This place was so so busy on a weekend. I wonder if it normally is this jam packed on a weekday as well. I'm curious. Went since my friend highly recommended this place. She took us there too raving about it. Now, I'm glad that I went. Everything from the service to the food was good. Just the bathroom was a bit gross. We ordered a whole array of food. I must say that the meat we ate was so tender and the way it was marinated was yummy too. It was their house special beef. It was a bit on the pricey side, but the amount of side dishes given and the service made up for it. We did get other things, but it wasn't as memorable. read more
