Such a hidden gem in Flushing! I genuinely had to double check that I was still in Queens because it felt like I had somehow wandered into a cozy little spot in Manhattan. 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!!!
Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 5 Overall: 6 Everyone seems to love this restaurant and therefore the Yelp rating. However, I have been here on several visits to try almost everything on their entire menu, and have not been impressed much. That's not to say that their food is bad, just nothing special, especially for the higher than average price tag. Here is a list of items I have tried on their current menu items and my take on each. Sogogi-Gukbap (5/10) - I did not find the beef tender as described, they were more lean and dry. The beef broth is light and less flavorful than most Korean versions I have experienced. Galbitang (4/10) - Very familiar with this soup since I order it often no matter where, NYC, LA, South Korea, etc. This is the only place I know that use the end of beef bones (much cheaper cut) instead of beef short ribs (as indicted) for the soup. As for the broth, l found it similarly bland like the Sogogi. Collagen Gomtang (7.5/10) - This is my favorite item here. Due to the richer and more beefy broth, the flavor of this soup is way better. Still not necessarily better than my favorite spots in NYC, but good. I love the perfectly cooked cow's foot and tendon in the soup, but the chunks of lean beef are whatever. Lava Rock Cheese Tteokgalbi (7/10) - These are clearly a modern take on a traditional dish. I don't love them, but they are not bad. Nice crispy crunch with cheese and meat inside. Hard to go wrong. Suyuk (6/10) - As far as I know and have tried in the past, this dish is traditionally made with pork. Usually super tender and moist. However, Woodam uses beef, which seems leaner and drier than my previous experiences. Considering they have such a small menu and specializes in only a few items, I expect more tbh. If you know Parksanbal, then you know what I am talking about. They have done one soup (spicy and not) for decades and I'm still craving it regularly. Unfortunately, Woodam just doesn't hold that kind of place in my mind.
Picked the perfect restaurant for the rainy and chilly weather today. Just had a facial and of course, had to order the collagen bone soup that was simmered for 12 hours. Took a sip of the soup and love how the soup is so flavorful and sticky. A true sign of "good stuff". The soup comes with rice and a bunch of banchan. No matter how cold it is, ordering a Kloud to go with the meal is a must. It even came with a frosty mug. Bonus!
The food is healthy, and the portions are fair for the price. However, it lacked seasoning and was a bit too bland for our taste. On the bright side, the staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. Love the drink!
I visited with my unnie on a Tuesday night for dinner and we were seated right away. Service was professional, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the sogogi gukbap (beef and rice soup), cheese tteokgalbi (deep fried beef/pork meatballs stuffed with cheese), and Jeju Tangerine Fizz drink, which I added some Saero soju to. Everything was SO delicious! I loved the cheese tteokgalbi, which were even better with the rosemary lime aioli dipping sauce. The gukbap had a strong, savory broth and rice came on the side, so I enjoyed dipping it into the soup. The beef was cooked perfectly. Our meals also came with plenty of banchan, and the baechu kimchi had a slightly sweet flavor that I enjoyed quite a bit. Woodam advertises as "Korean comfort food," and that's exactly what you'll find here. Korean soups are so comforting, and everything we had was 5/5 perfection!
Good ambiance, near everything in flushing. Craving soup so this hit the spot!! Small special catered menu for specific cravings. Next time I will try to oxtail!
It is a small store with rich flavored food. I rarely find Korean beer Kloud anywhere else, and finally I tried it here. I ordered collagen gomtang. The soup came in white and dense because of slow simmering beef bone. There are a lot of leg bones inside that good for skin and joints. I definitely recommend it and will come back again!
Excellent food and service. I ordered the tangerine fizz and collagen soup. The fizz was perfect on this hot day. Very refreshing without being overly sweet. The collagen soup was flavorful and very hearty. The ban chan was good too. My favorite was the kim chi and the macaroni salad. The rice cake was good too.
We came in on a rainy day and got the Sogogi - Gukbap (Spicy) and the Collagen Gomtang - Beef Bone Soup. Both dishes come with a variety of sides and they are also served hot and hit the spot on a rainy day. The place is clean and new and the food service is fast and friendly. The amount of food was worth the price. Would recommend and come back again.
I was looking for new spots around Flushing and Woodam immediately caught my attention. I saw soy marinated crab on the menu and my eyes lit up, but it's currently out of season. I'll be back for that. What I ordered: - Collagen gomtang (Korean beef bone soup): Very good! The beef ribs were extremely tender. The broth was clean, clear, slightly oily, and overall very comforting. Must try! - Oxtail & short ribs jjim: Generous portion size. We went with the soy garlic glaze, which was decent but the flavor profile was very mild. I would have preferred more sauce for a richer taste. The meat itself was very tender. The banchan is unlimited, which we loved. The black fungus and spicy cucumber was my favorite. Servers were friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a solid experience. I would recommend it and plan to return. :)
So delicious! They don't take reservations but overall service is really fast and if you come for an early dinner (around 5) there will most likely be seats. They start you off with barley tea and water, and we also got the jeju mandarin fizz which was 5/5 delicious - not sweet at all, fizzy, with a nice iced sorbet situation going on at the top. Here's what we ordered - Lava rock cheese tteokgalbi (5/5): so delicious and not heavy at all if you're worried about that. It was surprisingly not oily, the meat was plump and juicy, and there was just the right amount of cheese. The dipping sauce was also surprisingly light and complemented the dish well - Collagen gomtang (5/5): wow this soup was so flavorful and had so much depth. The meat was so tender too - Gukbap (4/5): I loved the veggies and glass noodles in this one, but the soup itself was on the salty side, a bit salty for me Unlimited banchan refills and the kimchi was some of the best I had!
Genuinely thought that Woodam had serious potential to surpass Parksanbal, given their slightly more expansive but still specialized menu, fair prices, and their really aesthetic restaurant. However, after coming back to dine, I can see where they're just falling short. My fiance and I ordered the spicy gukbap, which is the same thing we got the first time around. Here's the thing - it's still good, but there's something about the soup that just lacks depth of flavor. I can't quite figure out what it is, but the overall broth is just very one note. The toppings have also changed a bit - there's less beef slices and just more tendon. Banchan here is still decent, but the flavors were quite muted and didnt' help much with changing up the flavor profiles. Prices have gone up a bit since their opening a year ago; the gukbap is now around $18.50, or $2 more than before.
Food was delicious. The collagen soup is soo good. If you're in the mood for a good soup or stew, this is your spot.

Had an amazing dinner at Woodam! The Galbi-Jjim braised short ribs are a must-try; the meat is incredibly succulent and pairs beautifully with rice and their house-made banchan. We also loved the cozy, relaxed atmosphere and the highly attentive service. It's the perfect spot to wind down with friends over comforting food and cold drinks. read more

Yuzu drink was delicious. Highlight is the lava balls; cheese meatball falafel breading. Soup is as expected, nothing special but a good option to have in the area. Decor and interior is great and classic, service is okay. read more
At this point, I have tried almost everything on their menu. It's like comfort food at this point! What I would always go back to is the lava rock cheese tteokgalbi which we always have to order 2 and the galbitang. The second time we went they were out of galbitang which gave us the opportunity to try the other soups. I had the collagen gomtang instead and it was good but I'd still prefer the galbitang which is more flavorful. But you could really tell that they cooked the gomtang for a long time because of all the collagen in the soup! Had the suyuk which was pretty good but the portion is small for a large group. We order the oxtail and short ribs jim for 2 as well and I thought it was pretty spicy. There wasn't much flavor of the meat because all you taste is spice, think this is the only item on the menu I would not get again. But def highly recommended! I wouldn't wait in line for this though and we were lucky that we didn't have to wait the first 2 times. read more

We dropped by Woodam early on a Thursday based on Yelp reviews. The dining area is clean and simple. The menu is limited to a few house specialities and the waiter provided guidance on how best to select our meals. We could have used a bit more help on how best to flavor the soups with all the great accompaniments in the bowls - we were novices! Nice, clean, good price point if you're looking for this specific cuisine. read more

Refreshing decor for the Flushing area, for Korean food. We usually go to the more traditional places but wanted a girls date at a nicer place. The menu is very small - we almost ordered every entree available. The soups are very similar so we were not sure which was which, to be honest. They were all pretty decent, and good value for the portions. Service was very friendly. read more
The decor is very elevated and well lit - for such a limited menu I wasn't expecting how nice the decor was. I came especially to try the collagen gomtang. There's maybe 5 dishes on the menu with 2 beverages, so easy to find what I wanted. The gomtang itself was served hot in the stone pot, with clear noodles and plenty of beef bone. It also came with sides dishes and rice, and is easily shareable if you're not too hungry! It was super warm and comforting and nice to eat all that collagen. The staff was very nice and accommodating - my friend was able to bring her baby and stroller with no issues. read more

Absolute comfort in a bowl. The short ribs were incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. The broth was rich, clear, and perfectly seasoned, topped with a beautiful egg garnish. Paired with a generous spread of fresh banchan and a steaming bowl of rice, this meal hit every single mark. will definitely be back! read more

There's limited seating inside, so there might be longer waits on weekends as they grow in popularity. The Jeju fizz was refreshing and not too sweet! The sweetest part is the sorbet on top. The cheesy lava balls were my favorite item I had here! It had a great ratio of meat and cheese to breading. The soups were a bit disappointing in my opinion. It also came with a lot more tendons than I would've like. Id prefer more meat and less tendons. I think they should consider adding salt & pepper to every table like how sul lung tang places do. The broth was a bit bland in my opinion. read more

I had higher expectations for Woodam after seeing all the reviews online, and it was very decent but it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. I've had better more authentic korean places in Flushing, though this restaurants was more nicely done up and more fusion. The galbijim was tender, but nothing out of the ordinary and there was just a bit too much beansprouts for my liking that it overpowered the entire dish and the meat even. Their gukbap was good and this was better than the the galbijim, and the lava rock cheest tteokgalbi was also decent. Still a decent place but with a pretty small menu and I hope they will expand their menu for the future for me to want to go back! read more

Ambiance: newly decorated. Very modern. I like the golden bowl, and spoon. Seevice: very attentive. They asked me if I want to refill my Ban chan 3 times. Food: ordered the oxtail for 2. Mountain of bean sprout. I think it had 10 pieces of oxtail. I think the sauce is flavorable, but my wife thinks it lack favor. So, everyone has their own preference. I like the reddish, so sweet. My wide likes the pumpkin. I might try the spicy version next time. Drinks: it is delicious, but maybe there are lots of ice, I only have a few sips... read more

Atmosphere was really cute and aesthetic along with the utensils and cups. Service from both waitresses were great, they were very friendly and attentive. Ordered the Lava Rock Cheese Tteokgalbi and it was good with the sauce they served as an appetizer. Very flavorful and crunchy. The Sogogi-Gukbap we ordered spicy and it was good, beef was tender. The sides dishes were flavorful and my favorite was the seaweed that was seasoned well. The JeJu tangerine Fizz wasn't too sweet so it was perfect. Definitely coming back to try other dishes read more

Such a cute and cozy spot! The inside has a really warm, aesthetic vibe and the staff were super attentive and kind. We got the Collagen Gomtang (Korean Beef Bone Soup) and Lava Rock Cheese Tteokgalbi, both were amazing! The soup was rich, hearty, and packed with tender meat. The menu is small, but everything feels well curated and made with care. The soups come with plenty of tasty banchan sides, and the portions and prices are great. Definitely a new favorite spot for comforting Korean food! read more
