FLUSHING, NY 11354 / KOREAN SPECIALTY CUISINE (PORK) / 07-14-24 / DINNER +$15.99 Pork Blood Sausage Soup and complimentary banchan side dishes that will fill you up. +Quick service, typical Korean restaurant. -Something was laced with MSG.

I've passed this restaurant so many times and I've never gone but I hope my review boosts up this place cause it's actually a great spot for Korean food! There's a few parking spaces directly in front and inside is actually pretty big, with plenty of tables. We were seated immediately since it was already 10pm but we came with a large group of 10 people. We ordered several items to share and prices were very reasonable. - Seafood pancake: decent size and good amount of seafood! Slightly thick but still crispy. - LA Galbi: one of the best meats. Super tender and flavorful, perfect with their freshly steamed rice (something about Korean rice in the metal tin just hits different). - Army stew: a classic stew with tons of toppings and the best part is adding the ramen (so much so that we ordered another ramen to add in). It's cooked on the table so you get to eat it as it's heated up. - Pork bone stew: spicy pork bones with potatoes, also cooked at the table. It's technically already cooked but it continues to cook at the table and it's super flavorful. The stew gets very thick so I'd definitely recommend to ask for more of the stew. There's actually a lot of pork bones and decent amount of meat on them too. - Blood sausage soup with extra meat: we ordered the one with extra meat so that it came with soondae on the side as well as some other organ meats. It usually comes unseasoned cause they have the condiments on the side for you to add to taste. The blood sausage was slightly on the gamey side so I didn't like it as much but others liked it. - Spicy pork bulgogi: spicy pork over rice in a hot stone pot. A classic with thinly sliced pork, not too spicy. Overall, a great spot for authentic Korean food. The staff was nice and it's very spacious inside which was great for a large party. I'd definitely come back for their other stews!

The food here is great, my friend and I ordered the 보쌈 (bossam) and 순대국 (soondae guk), both very delicious. The service here was also amazing, super friendly staff and great atmosphere, very cozy restaurant. Definitely recommend.

Just tried this restaurant but definitely going back when I'm craving for soupy rice dishes! They close at 12am too for those who need late night food after drinks! Pretty far out but if you're in the area the food is really good and warming. I got the soondae with extra meat soup bowl which actually comes with way more than expected since my set was only $14. The soup itself is rich but bland, this is when you add the salt, fermented shrimp, etc that are on the side at every table. It was amazing, hit the spot for me since I've been craving it all winter. Soondae was also interesting, first time seeing carrots and spinach in them. We ordered the mix rice and it's my first time seeing them actually serve the remaining stuck rice soaked in water. It's literally just that so not so sure how ppl eat them, but we were already suuuuuper full. Didn't get to eat much of that sadly. Place is actually pretty big, open and clean. The only reason why this place is a 4 star and not 5 is bc of the service. We weren't greeted right away as the waitress walked past us. After 2 min of her walking around past us getting stuff for others, she asked how many ppl are we. She didn't say anything, just grabbed the menus and placed them on the table. Didn't tell us to follow her, or told us to sit at this table, and no eye contact so it was quite confusing. My friend asked for the alcohol menu and the server was confused what she meant. I just asked for the makgeolli and she knew what we wanted. (It's nice they server makgeolli with the traditional cups! They maintain the temp of the drink longer) I guess you can point at the clear glass fridge with the drinks if you're having difficulty. BUT! With the food being good, I don't mind service being a little on the less-catering side. I'm Chinese so usually that's how you know food is good lol. Not entirely offended by the attitude, just slightly off-putting and the food made up for it. PRO TIP IF YOU'VE MADE IT THIS FAR. For those who like to roam around supermarkets, this restaurant is actually located right across the bigger Hmart! So you can visit Hmart right after your meal! They also sell the makgeolli cup there. I bought one right after my meal!

They are open 24/7 w/ some of the cheapest prices in the area, solid food. What more can you want? The banchan is legit, and every time i've gone, the service has been great. Whether 6 am or lunch time 1 pm, all I've ever seen are Korean customers, which speaks for itself. This place is solid. Get any of their bone broth dishes, self-season, and sweat away.

I was not very excited when my parents said they wanted to go to this place. Soondae is Korean blood sausage, which is what it sounds like. A sausage made from pigs intestines, blood, rice and noodles. The good news is that they have a lot of dishes that do not have Soondae. Whew! The banchan (side dishes) were not plentiful but the 3 different types of kimchi were nice. I ordered the belt fish stew and my wife ordered the Soondae soup. I cannot tell you how her dish was because as I said, not a fan of Soondae. The soup is similar to kalbi tang, which means you need to add a bunch of the condiments they give you (salt, shrimp chili paste, etc). The beltway stew was very tasty BUT I think I know why some people have said the stews were not that tasty. The owner came by and told us that you need to let the stew cook and reduce, which heightens the flavor. If you do not wait, then it will taste watery. Maybe that is the issue others have had because our stew was so flavorful! As others said, the prices are less than other Korean places. The stew is probably 20-25% cheaper than at others. For the prices, this is one of the really good places for stew. For non-KoreNs, I would recommend kidnapping one of your Korean friends to help you manage the menu. I am available for a few.

Ordered some 족발,뼈다귀해장국 and선지해장국 for delivery via Ubereats. Food was prepared and delivered rather quick also very well packed too. Everything was delicious (great 김치 and 깍뚜기) and for that price the portion was more than fair.

Would give it a 10/5 if I can!! Overall service was amazing and the servers were so sweet. They served our food pretty quick and refilled our side dishes endlessly! It was sooo yummy too def worth it and coming back the food is great!
