Service was great. Friendly. Efficient. Fast turn around. They even gave me a free arancini ball while I waited. It was large and decadent. I got the bagel with bulgogi, cheese and eggs. Portion was huge but it didn't fall apart like I thought it would. The bagel itself wasn't mind blowing but the sheer amount of flavor provided by the filling more than made up for it. read more

There are certain gimmicks that I don't subscribe to, which is any kind of fusion in bagel form. (#1) Between The Bagel proved me wrong, in a way that I haven't fully yet recovered and as a result has become a go-to destination for me whenever I'm back in Astoria. They've done such an outstanding job across the board (customer service, price, food, etc.) that I am constantly thinking about going back. Located on the constantly busy (#2) 30th Ave, one wouldn't notice this place as being any different from any other bagel shop. There's hardly any seating but a steady stream of customers all throughout the day. The NSFW signage (#3) keeps the place fresh and interesting, if not extremely memorable. The first thing that is offered (and often complimentary) is their fried rice balls, dubbed "Ben's Balls" that are mixed with seasoned rice, kimchi, topped with a gochujang mayo that would wake up any sleepyhead. Each bite had a nice crunch, but the lingering effect of the kimchi makes it addicting. It is the ultimate complementary snack, a desired, potluck item, and frankly genius. This is not something I would ever consider getting out a bagel shop, but having had them I would gladly buy them by the dozens. Most folks are here for the Seoul Meets Bagel (SMB) and rightfully so: it's layered with chopped bulgogi meat, cheese, egg, kimchi, topped with gochujang mayo and is packed with flavor. While the dank ass pork sandwich is a crude name, but it's not hard to see why it's one of their best sellers. Their regular bagels are also excellent. Folks who are expecting a large variety of cream cheese may find it disappointing that there's only a handful in the display, but they do have lox, bacon scallion, tofu cream cheese, and some flavored cream cheese. For what it's worth, my toasted everything bagel with lox was fabulous. It was pillowy soft, nicely toasted, and extremely filling. Offering Korean savory bagels wouldn't be complete without actual Korean fare, which is also a part of their larger than expected menu. It includes items such as Korean fried chicken, kimbap, pajeon (various), bibimbap, kalbi, ramyum, and mandoo. This is in addition to the burgers, breakfast platters and sandwiches, and a number of pastries. The staff is mostly Spanish and English speaking, in addition to the owner Ben who brings Korean to the table. Prices are very reasonable for Astoria and I'm hoping they continue to stay that way. This spot is the ultimate neighborhood spot and I'm insanely jealous of all the residents in the area that get to enjoy this on the regular. ___________ (#1) Why mess with something that doesn't need changing? Oh, because palate + innovation. (#2) And incredibly gentrified. (#3) One sign reads: "My happy place is when I tell people to .... FU, KMA, MF, STFU, SOB, SMD." Oh how New York. read more

I've been her once only so far but definitely want to come back. Ben is such a character but in a good way. He is super friendly even as a first time customer. We came in and he knew we were first time customers from just us looking at the menu. We ordered the bulgogi and chicken bagel sandwiches, along with a side of onion rings, but afterwards he whipped out 2 free Ben's balls for us to try. They were really tasty and a nice snack if I didn't want a sandwich. While we waited, he talked to us more, especially since we weren't from Astoria but happened to be around there so we wanted to try it out. While we were waiting he also whipped out some nutella banana pudding and he told us to just help ourselves. It was super tasty and it was also funny because the sugar made me really happy since I was hungry already. He told me I looked really happy as I was eating it LOL, which I definitely was. After getting the sandwiches, the guy who was at the register also gave us 2 sour patch kids out of nowhere. The vibes here are fun and you definitely see Ben having fun while shouting orders to the back and engaging with customers. As for the food itself, the sandwiches were PACKED. It was hard to get my mouth around either one of them. I split them with my boyfriend so we could try both. The bulgogi one was really good but i felt like it could have used some kimchi to cut some of the richness and add a little more dimension to it. I actually enjoyed the chicken one a bit more because it felt like Korean fried chicken put into a bagel. It was soy garlic too which I love with korean fried chicken. I have also been meaning to go back because I have been craving that after having it. The sandwiches were so filling that even though we split both of them, I wasnt able to finish it and saved it for later. The onion rings weren't my favorite because they were kinda ones you find in the frozen section of the grocery store, but then again you wouldnt come here for those anyways. Aside from their specialty sandwiches, they also make regular bagel sandwiches and their prices are really great for what you find in NYC these days. I would definitely come back and recommend people to try their specialty bagel sandwiches. read more

The owner Ben is the funniest and friendliest cafe owner I've ever met!!! He is really what brings the place to life and keeps people coming. The Korean and American breakfast fusion foods are so unique and delicious. He also has A LOT of vegetarian options which is a relief for people like me :). The veggie Seoul meets bagel sandwich is a must try!!! Also Ben's Balls (yes that's what it's called) is incredible. He will usually have complimentary banana pudding for everyone at the front counter and he'll give you a treat to snack on while you wait. 1000000/10. Despite all the change and gentrification that is happening to Astoria, he is keeping it grounded and it's a breath of fresh air. MUST TRY!!! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

This place has great bagels (the Seoul Meets Bagel and Dank Ass Pork), great balls, and great vibes. The owner is always here when I go, and he's very fun. The stand out for me is the kimchi rice balls (aka Ben's Balls) that you get with your bagel. Ben also commonly brings out free food as an added bonus (if you get lucky) - brown sugar cinnamon cake, bagel chips, banana pudding. Pro tip: I usually bring a water bottle here since they don't offer water unless you get a bottle. read more

Had to try out the Seoul Meets Bagel which consists of beef bulgolgi, egg, cheese, kimchi, and gochujang mayo on a bagel! It's a massive bagel with a ton of flavor from the bulgolgi and definitely more of a meal than it is just an early breakfast sandwich. While I did enjoy it very much, I will say the flavor from the bulgolgi over powers all the other elements of the sandwich. Everything else got drowned out from the beef. Still enjoyed it, and will definitely grab another one if I'm in the area! read more

The first thing I want to point out is the wrapping - it was beautifully wrapped and made the bagel nice and cozy. Second thing I want to point out is the portion - the portion of egg, meat and cheese to the bread is perfect. I loved the amount in between the bagels (lives up to the name, heh). My friend calls it a burger but I call it a great bagel. The bulgogi egg cheese burger was fantastic, and so were the kimchi rice balls - all the flavor is amazing and I want to come back for sure. Amazing and kind service, you can feel the love even when you order take-out. read more

Our first time here and we are already looking forward to going back! This place is such a gem and I can't recommend this place enough! Staff was super nice and service was fairly quick (especially given the number of patrons they had). We took our sandwich to go but there are a few tables available if you wanted to dine in. The place was cozy and didnt feel crammed even though there were many customers. We ordered a Seoul Meets Bagel which was a unique twist to a bagel. This sandwich was HUGE!!! We were pleasantly surprised with how much bulgogi there was and especially given the price. This sandwich was delicious and so worth it! We even got a complimentary Bens Rice Ball which was also delicious. read more

We stopped by this bagel spot for the first time, and it did not disappoint. The bagels were fresh, tasty, and truly New York style, exactly what we were hoping for. Ben has a ton of character and definitely makes the visit memorable; he really adds to the whole experience. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese, and it was solid. We ended up taking two dozen bagels back home to Maryland. We had preordered ahead for pickup, which was super convenient, but we wish we had known they make bialeys too, because we would have definitely added those to our order. They also have some Korean treats on the menu if that's your thing, which adds a fun and unexpected twist. Overall, great bagels, great energy, and absolutely worth the stop. read more

Why 5 stars? Because this was my first meal of my trip and arguably my favorite. --- --- --- I told my friend and former Yelp Queens Community Manager to take the wheel and I didn't ask any questions. I was visiting NYC for 3 days and was going to spend most of that time in Queens. So he proceeded to send me a collection of 63 of his favorite Queens eateries. I ended up eating at about 7 of them, which might seem like a terrible ratio, but to be honest, I'm pretty proud of that number. It all started with Between the Bagel - my first stop after stepping out of LGA. And it's hard to I definitively had a better meal in the next three days than the Seoul Meets Bagel aka SMB. It was near perfect. An everything bagel with bulgogi beef, egg and cheese? Each bite made me wonder why this isn't a thing at more places. And the owner was so funny. When we told him I came all the way from Houston to eat here, he could not have been less impressed, and quickly pointed out that someone once requested a delivery from Alaska. And that there are Between the Bagel stickers all over the world, including at the Eiffel Tower. So I guess I barely crack the top 200 this month in terms of effort to visit, but that's okay. I still win because I got the chance to devour this thing just like that guy in Alaska who thinks he's so cool. We also got to sample Ben's Big Balls and anytime I can have another man's big balls in my mouth, it makes for a great Wednesday. Stop one of many: great success. read more

Ben's awesome! The bagel combinations with a Korean influence are the best. Bulgogi on a bagel? Let's go! These bagel sandwiches are on steroids. When I finish one of these I'm always in a food coma for the rest of the morning. Every time I've been here I've been given a complimentary Ben's balls with is a Korean arancini. I've only ever seen that here. These balls are good enough to get on their own, I've visited other times just to get them. The owner is both NYC friendly and fast which is the best thing because there are a ton of orders to cycle through, Ben and his guys do move fast. read more

Delicious bagels served with personality in this local, eclectic bagel shop! The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the sassy decor hanging everywhere! Signs such as "No stupid people beyond this point" and "bee kind or STFU". This not only gave me a good laugh, but told me that this place has character! Something I appreciate about local businesses. Ordering is a bit chaotic because they don't have a clear "order here" line. Instead, you approach the counter, place your order (which is hand written on a note pad), then step back and wait for your order to be ready. Once it's ready, THEN you pay. Despite their more old-school approach, they accept credit cards! Now to the good part - their delicious bagels!! My husband and I both ordered an Everything Bagel with egg and cheese and we were both impressed! Not only was it flavorful, but the seasoning STAYED on the bagel throughout each bite. I've had everything bagels from other establishments that make a mess because the seeds and seasonings fall off as you eat it. This is NOT an issue here - woohoo! The only downside was that I felt it didn't have enough cheese. I came back for another round today (just 4 days after my first experience) and had them add extra cheese this time. Now THIS was the perfect bagel sandwich I needed for a midweek pick-me-up! Thankfully we live walking distance from here because we will definitely be returning regularly! read more

Saw this place on social media a while back, found myself in the area and decided to give it a try. Came by on a Wednesday morning; it is located right on the main ave next to the train. Plenty of meter parking when I visited. Good amount of seating inside and typical bodega style set up for ordering. The gentlemen working were kind, efficient, and had me in and out within a few minutes. There was one customer waiting for their order when I arrived, few folks sitting and eating. I tried their SMB (Seoul Meets Bagel), they have a specials menu in a clear frame and plenty of options on the wall menu including breakfast, sandwiches, lunch, and Korean dishes. The SMB is enough for 2 meals and definitely big enough to share with another person. You pick the bagel; the guy recommended the everything bagel so I got that, toasted. Took it to go, packaged in wax papers and a brown paper bag, they threw in a Swedish fish candy for an unexpected treat. The SMB is surprisingly heavy, stuffed with bulgogi (i mean stuffed!), scrambled egg, American cheese, and their signature sauce. It was flavorful, filling, and delicious. They gave me one of Ben's Balls to take. A fried arancini ball with a Korean twist, it was a tasty ball! You can pay card or cash, with an additional fee for card. I paid just over $11, may seem pricey but you literally get two meals in one. Would definitely return. read more

Really fun fusion bagels that are loaded, but what really makes this place stand out is the service. The owner is such a character, and has such a funny, sarcastic sense of humor who is very passionate about this business. The food is great, and the bagel sandwiches are loaded with meat. The complimentary kimchi rice balls were delicious and be sure not to skip out on his banana pudding! Between the pork and beef bulgogi bagel, I'd say the pork was more flavorful. However if you're going with another person, get one of each and split! read more

You already I know I went straight to "Ben's Bangers", the not-so-secret menu full of fusion items you didn't know you needed. The SMB (Seoul Meets Bagel) is absolutely loaded with bulgogi combined with some egg, cheese, kimchi, and gochujang mayo. Packed with flavor, not too spicy, and super affordable too! What a combo. Staff was amazing and my order was placed & ready pretty quick. Got to enjoy it inside where there are several seats, nothing too crazy but good enough for a quick bite for breakfast/lunch. Will definitely return when I'm back in the area. read more

Stopped in here on a whim while on the way to work and I'm really glad I did. Firstly, the staff were really nice- one of the guys (I think the owner) gave me a free "Ben's Ball" (basically an arancini with bulgogi and kimchi inside) to eat while I was waiting, which was a nice touch and it tasted great. I also loved the DAPS sandwich I ordered, which was stuffed with pork and had so much flavor- it could have definitely lasted me for at least two meals. I will be coming back! read more

I had the "Seoul Meets Bagel" and it was absolutely delicious ,the flavors were bold, unique, and balanced perfectly. It came with a kimchi fried rice ball on the house, which was crispy on the outside and packed with flavor on the inside. The gochujang mayo used in both dishes tied everything together beautifully -- spicy, creamy, and addictive. On top of the amazing food, the service was top tier. It's rare to meet people in the service industry who are genuinely that kind and welcoming. It honestly lifted my mood and made me want to be friendlier to others -- they were that great! To top it all off, they gave every customer in the shop a Nutella banana pudding and yes, it was as good as it sounds. The shop is small and dog friendly with some sitting areas. I'll definitely be sending my friends here. This spot is a gem! read more

I finally made my way to Astoria to try Between the Bagel. I got the Seoul Meets Bagel (bulgogi, egg, kimchi, and cheese) and Dank Ass Pork Bagel (spicy pork and cheese), both on an everything bagel (totaling ~$22). They were huge! Came with a generous amount of flavorful filling, and the bagel was fluffy, toasted nicely, and held its structure. Although Seoul Meets Bagel is the more popular one, but I preferred the Dank Ass Pork. There was complimentary fried kimchi rice ball with spicy mayo on top that comes with each bagel you order. Would like to come again to try other bagels. The owner has a dark humor and is super social. You can tell he creating rapport with many regulars. I appreciated the unhinged signs hanging on the wall. read more

Probably the most Queens thing you can do on a Saturday morning. Get a solid bagel with amazing Korean ingredients. It really works, and the diversity and creativity of the owner speaks to why this place is packed each weekend. The owner has a wicked sense of humor, as you can see from the hilarious signs hanging on the wall. But he's also a genius for combining bulgogi with egg, cheese and sauce. It's delicious and the most unique bagel we have tried in Queens. And don't sleep on the complimentary rice ball that comes with the bagel sandwich. It's also delicious! One small critique: the bagel itself is a bit chewy and dense, which is ok for some but we prefer softer bagels. Still, it tastes good with the Korean beef. Make sure you get there early or order ahead. This place was packed and super busy filling take out orders when we got there at 10 am on a weekend. But...definitely worth it! read more

One of my favorite finds last year, finally made it out to Between the Bagel (unfortunately didn't get to meet the owner who I hear is such a cool character) but I have been desperate to try the Seoul Meets Bagel (bulgogi egg and cheese) and didn't realize I'd be getting a Ben's Ball on the house (korean arrancini). The space is humble, quintessentially New York and the staff was friendly. The Bulgogi egg and cheese was delicious, and quite filling. Greasy, meaty, and perfect for a hangover or just a treat yourself kind of breakfast/brunch. The arrancini was actually equally a highlight - with a nice gochujang mayo on top of it, and a beautiful crunch with a nice dense rice-filled interior with bits of meat inside. Wow. I really really enjoyed this. One of the best things about New York is our cultural diversity, and the marriage of these things together. Between the Bagel is a shining example of that, with an authentic, no-frills, homemade feel. read more

Made the trek out here from Manhattan and it was so good I'm already thinking about when I'll next be able to come. Sorry to traditional bagels, but Asians know how to do it better heh I tried the dank ass pork sandwich (on a sesame bagel). It came with a generous amount of the super flavorful filling, and the bagel soaked up some of the flavor in a way that you definitely don't get with cream cheese and lox. I also found that the bagel itself was fluffy and toasted to perfection, which was a pleasant surprise--my impression before coming here was that the main draw to this place was the fillings. Bonus points for the free banana pudding they were handing out--will never be upset about free food! read more

One of our new favorite spots! The staff were super welcoming and patient with us, and the whole place gives off cozy coffee shop vibes. They definitely don't skimp on portions either. Everything was absolutely delicious. The team even cracks jokes and keeps the energy light, which makes the experience even better. 10/10 we're definitely coming back to try more of their menu. We had the SMB on an everything bagel, and I get why it's one of their most popular dishes. Make sure you come hungry, because the amount of bulgogi they pile on is seriously filling. I'm not exactly sure what kind of rice balls we had, but they might've been fried kimchi rice and they were on the house! Either way, they were crispy, flavorful, and the perfect bonus to an already amazing meal. read more

I went recently to try the SMB after viewing many social media posts and reading the reviews. We ordered SMB on a everything bagel, Grilled chicken and bulgogi kimbap. I thought the bagel was good, the bulgogi was flavorless, bland and salty. The grilled chicken was basic doesnt seem like they actually grill chicken in house seemed like it was store bought and flavorless. Overall very disappointing and will not be back. Most people who lived in the area ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel so I would recommend ordering that instead of the SMB because it might be better, the portions are great they give a lot. read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile now thanks to all the IG hype - I would say this spot is one of the few that lives up to its hype :) I came on a rainy weekday and it is in a really unassuming deli... the guy at the counter asked me if I was looking for the Seoul meets bagel as I couldn't find it on the board initially and I was like YES! I ordered that and the dank ass pork sandwich (DAPS) cuz why not, I'm already here. He also threw in a free order of kimchi arancini balls, which was very generous of him. Out of the two sandwiches, I actually really enjoyed the DAPS but both were delicious. I will say they are hefty sandwiches so come hungry or be prepared to share or take home and have leftovers. It is definitely a unique concept for bagels and I'm loving the innovation and blend of Korean flavors into something as classic as a New York bagel. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to try something a little bit different in terms of bagels and sandwiches. IG: @_acquired.taste read more

This place has earned its recognition and I can confirm it is well deserved! It has exactly the type of energy you would expect from New York. The area around is cute, and I made a stop here on my way to the airport. Of course I had to get the SMB (Seoul meets bagel). I was also given one of Ben's balls to sample, which was a fried kimchi rice ball with spicy mayo on top. This was so delicious - the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the sauce tied it all together. The bagel itself was STUFFED. There was so much bulgogi inside that it could very easily feed 2 people. It's also loaded with kimchi and egg, and I opted for no cheese. The bagel itself, which I chose the onion bagel, was also good - chewy inside that held its structure well. I would definitely recommend this spot for a unique and delicious bagel! read more

The bagel itself is a 10/10. The ingredients themselves were all perfect. This is one of the best bagels I've had as an adult.

Bruh! I love and missed me some NY Style Bagels, but like, to find out that's a Korean Twist to Deli Bagels literally blows my goddamn mind. I wish I lived in NY again because the food here just makes you feel at home. The fact that that the Korean fusion style holds heaps of meat and they aren't skimpy at all. I dig it. I want to thank my friend Ashley for introducing me and my BF to this wonderful spot as it will be my next destination to ensure I make it here every NY trip from the West Coast. Ben's also got some delicious balls that comes with every specialty bagel order. They're a Korean Fusion of Arancini, perooo like, they're 5mil c's better. This is a perfect combo. The rating of the Bagel altogether: 20/5. The meat portion, the quality taste, the cheese and egg, buttery goodness. So much better than your BEC. Like duh. No comparison. Call me weird, but I love how messy the bagel was. Just how it's supposed to be. Arancini: 100/5! I'm not a pea in rice ball person so this won me over. The kick of the kimchi, brine from the kimchi sauce and the perfect shape with the soft rice, I love it. I'm so happy to have had this experience. The service: Ben gave us the bagels himself, and I STG, just how I miss the NY attitude. This mofo was hilarious and I loved it, the sassy energy, the NY cursing but still got jokes. He's literally awesome. Ben, I'll be back and thank you for the wonderful time! Your shop deserves a million raving reviews. read more
