Cuisine: 8 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 For most people, Korean food means BBQ meats over a grill, along with all the small side dishes that come with the meal. However, for most Koreans, a more common meal is often soup based. For those in the know, they are a nation of broth. When I have a craving for Korean soups, this is one of my favorite spots, especially for their beef based soups (menu items #1-6). They are all good, but my usual order is #3, Doseolleongtang (ox bone soup with sliced beef shank & tendon). The shank meat is quite tender, while the tendon has the perfect texture. My second choice is #5 Ggogaltang (oxtail & short rib soup). Other non-beef soups I enjoy here include the #7 Soondaeguk (blood sausage soup) and #8 Daeji Gupbak (pork soup). I do also believe they have a very flavorful #16 Bajiraktang due to an abundance of clams. However, there was some sand the last time we had it. Other than soups, they also make good versions of #30 Jokbal (braised pork shank) and #31 Bossam (boiled pork belly w/ cabbage & radish kimchi). Definitely order one of those items for a group gathering. Maybe also add #33 Dogani Muchim (spicy ox knee tendon salad) or #34 Golbaengi Muchim (spicy sea snail salad) or #39 LA Galbi (marinated beef short rib). Lastly, I have tried their #37 Ojingeo Bokkeum (spicy stir fried squid) as well. Though solid, this is not the place I would get this dish. #22 Goon Mandoo (fried dumpling) is decent and their Kimchi Jeon (kimchi pancake) was crispy but a tad bland. As for service, the owner Tesh and his staff are very friendly. They also are attentive without ever being overbearing. I really appreciate their hospitality and pray they are around for a very long time.

I was craving something different from my usual Korean BBQ and stumbled across this cozy little place serving amazing soup dishes. The Food: 5/5 I ordered their ginseng chicken stone pot soup and it was everything I needed for a cold winter day -- flavorful, rich, and comforting. They started us off with some tasty little pickled radish and sides, which made the wait feel even shorter. Speaking of which, the food came out in about 15- 20 minutes, piping hot and beautifully served in a huge bowl. The Experience: 5/5 The portions were generous -- like, truly bowl-of-happiness level generous -- and the staff was friendly and quick. Prices ranged around $18-$25, which felt totally fair considering the quality and portion size. You could easily come here with family or friends, order a few soups and some pancakes to share, and leave completely satisfied. All in all, this place feels like a comforting hidden gem near Flushing but at the Murray Hill LIRR. Nothing fancy or pretentious -- just really good food, warm service, and cozy vibes. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

Yuupduk is my go to place to get tteokbokki (rice cakes in spicy sauce). I believe they are a chain…read morefrom S. Korea, and they are known for their very spicy tteokbokki. The texture of the rice cakes are nice and chewy - more so than other restaurants. I used to get their namesake tteokbokki which can be made to be extra spicy. And when I say spicy, I mean really, really spicy. These days, I've been getting the rosé tteokbokki, which is much less spicy because of the addition of the cream. Unfortunately, they can't seem to make it very spicy (which was the original reason why I craved tteokbokki from here specifically), but the rosé tteokbokki is addictive in its own way. I always add an extra order of the sausage; they have a good snap and the flavor complements the tteokbokki very well. I've had the other dishes here before - the udon, mini kimbap, tuna rice balls, tempura, donkatsu, etc. Everything is pretty well done. The only dish that I do not like from here is the soondae, which is unfortunate because tteokbokki and soondae is such a classic Korean bunsik combo. But alas, I would not recommend getting that dish here. The flavor and the texture of the dish is not up to par with their other menu items.

I love Yupdduk's tteokbokki so I came again to introduce my friend to their food (I come to Yupdduk…read moreoften whenever I'm having a craving for tteokbokki haha). Please refer to my previous review for more thoughts. We came right at opening at 11:30 am on a Saturday and shared a large rose tteokbokki that was delicious as always. The rice cakes are tender and chewy & the sauce is as addictive as usual with its balance of savory umami, sweetness, and spice. I haven't had the large size tteokbokki in awhile as I usually come alone & get the small size but the large size is a great option for when you eat with someone else. My friend really liked the tteokbokki as well, I'm glad to convert another person to be a Yupdduk fan ;) We also ordered the kimari/gimmari/deep fried seaweed rolls filled with glass noodles. It's my first time having this dish and this was also very tasty. The glass noodles inside are well seasoned and savory & the deep fried seaweed is nice and crispy. It's a great appetizer to pair with tteokbokki! The music they play is always nice and chill & usually the restaurant isn't very crowded. There's wifi as well! It's a very casual place and great place to grab food with friends. I once again, highly recommend Yupdduk!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 10 Overall: 9 This review is probably 20 years too late because I've been coming here ever since they opened in 2002. My Korean friends took me here and said that it was the only pork BBQ specialist in all of Flushing at the time. When I walked in, I realized exactly what they meant because they had no menu and only pork belly as your choice of meat. The other noticeable difference was their large dome shaped cast iron griddle on the middle of each table, which is more common today, but was the first place I had ever seen one. I knew immediately that I was in for a brand new experience and I was excited. Over the years, I have continued to come here for my porky cravings, and introduced this place to many family and friends. The restaurant has experimented with many more items and now has a menu full of other meats for the grill, but honestly, stick to the pork items is still your best bet. Btw, prices are still lower than their competitors like always. Yesterday, we went for Father's Day and the family couldn't have asked for a better experience. The service is as good as ever from start to finish, like always. Attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress made sure to always keep our grill stocked with kimchi, garlic, and bean sprouts, which catches the drippings from all the porky goodness in the center part of the inverted circular griddle. I can't express enough how wonderful the service has always been at this establishment. For this day, we had the black pork belly and shoulder, as well as premium pork neck and skin. Maybe the texture of pork skin is not for everyone, but you really can't go wrong with the other three. My favorite today was the belly, but other people preferred the shoulder and neck. Golden brown and crispy outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Dip the meats in one of the three sauces. Then eat it with a lettuce wrap, adding whatever veggies combination you see on the grill and table. One important note, do not leave here without having the Fried Rice at the end of your meal. They take whatever is left on the griddle, add more if necessary, cut it up to smaller pieces, then toss in marinated rice with lettuce and seaweed, based on how many portions you request. You can also add items like egg and Spam if so desired. Btw, each portion is about a small bowl meant for one person. At this point of the meal, you likely won't need that much, so I advise one bowl per two people. Then again, you can ask for more and take home what you don't finish. Just remember to allow the Fried Rice to cook long enough on the griddle that the bottom forms a crispy and crunchy crust. Anyway, if you like pork and looking for a uniquely wonderful experience, then make sure you find this hidden gem that has been making their customers happy for over 20 years now.

Loved it! The pork…read morerib belly and pork neck were delicious. It was a lot of meat and very filling. They grill for you, and it's perfectly tender and juicy. They also add kimchi and bean sprouts on the grill, and you can add fried rice for $6 near the end of the meal.
