It had been a while, but I was craving Korean street food, so I ordered cheese tteokbokki, spicy tuna kimbap, and spicy wheat noodles. We also got tea, anchovy soup, and kimchi, and everything tasted wonderful. My only wish is for a higher-quality cheese on the rice cakes--and for them to have a bit more spicy. Other than that the service was great and very affordable. My tab was $35.
A tight space with just a few 2-person tables. You order at the counter at the entrance before taking a seat to wait until your food gets brought to you. They give you a complimentary bowl of soup both with sit-down and takeout orders plus a plate of kimchi. We got a few kimbap (mushroom, eel, and vegetable) which were prepared fresh and arrived still warm. The texture and flavor were great and the portions were very generous. The soondae (mild and springy, served with a little foil packet of salt) and spicy tteokbokki (soft rice cakes in a simple, slightly sweet sauce with a bit of heat and a few pieces of fish cake) were also satisfying. Glad to add this to my list as a go-to spot for fresh kimbap.
Ate here by myself for lunch. I had brought and ate the spicy octopus over rice that it tasted quite good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and wasn't bad at all that it took awhile to be served. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.
Got a couple of things to go for 4 men. All of this was $94, paid by cash: - 4 rolls of 김밥: kimchi bulgogi was the best and would get again, then spicy tuna, spicy octopus, and mushroom. The last 3 were still decent but I've had better. - 순대: I saw this being microwaved so wasn't sure how it would be, but this was good too and I'd get again. They only give salt and not Salted shrimp paste, just a FYI - 족발: good as well and I'd get again here - 튀김: this was the only thing I wouldn't get again. We got a mix, but the batter was too thick and tough. If you still crave it, the sweet potato and roll are better than the squid. The squid itself is good but too much batter around it. We got 2 portions and these are huge so 1 would have been plenty. They gave us soups as well - asked us how many I needed - and their kimchi was good too. Everything had really good portions here. The 4 of us would have been good without the fried items. I'd come back here especially to try the other 김밥 and 순대.
This is a hole in a wall Korean restaurant that serves staple Korean dishes. One of their main cook is an elderly ahjumma who, even with limited English, is eager to help serve customers. Their bibimbap is BIG. Even with a big appetite, I still cannot finish it. The kimbaps are big and filled generously with meat/veggies than rice. The fried squid coating can be addicting (coating is much bigger than the squid inside). There is a small space for dining in, it's not good for big groups. It's best to order take out and dine at home.
I got tuna kimbap and I will go back, felt like I was at home Delicious and so cozy... I want to just sit there and enjoy grandma company She also let us try her fried fish and then we went back to get a bag of it!!!! Sweet energy and I can't wait to try the other amazing looking food
Haven't been here in years cuz of the negative experience my friend had last time. I remember their Bbq squid kimbap was amazing so I went again. It's so spicy, but so good. If you can't handle seriously spicy food, I suggest Kimganae next door.
ordered a cheese tteokbokki, ice noodle, and chungmoo roll, all for only $41 including tip & tax. and if you pay in cash it's tax free! The portions are extremely generous and the flavor is unmatched. The tteokbokki is VERY cheesy to come prepared. Not sure what the kimchi came with but we got it on the side for free. Very hole in the wall down to earth place. Seemed like lots of locals came in and out to get takeout on a casual saturday afternoon. Not much dining space but also not crowded.
Walked by many times. Decided to give this a try. Small hole in the wall with barely any room to walk. Has a B health rating. And a non Korean in the back cutting vegetables. Everything about this was sketch. The guy cook stared at me and said 5 minutes, but it was really 15. As I waited and contemplated my decision, I saw an elderly ajumma bring out my soup. Right then I already knew it was gonna be the bomb. Should really be five stars, but I can't have a line outside this place.
My go-to Korean food spot in flushing NY. The food is affordable, large portioned, and delicious. The food is also always prepared quickly, within 15-20 minutes I place the call. The staff is kind and quick to take care of everything. I always get a dupbap which is a meat over rice with a salad, their spicy tteokbeoki, and a kimbap. All their dupbaps also comes with some kimchi and a miso soup. My favorite is their spicy pork dupbap and their spicy squid kimbap. They have outdoor seating and like 6 spots indoor, but it's a small family owned place and I usually just order to-go. Tl;dr - affordable, large portion, delicious, outdoor seating, small shop
They accept card! I avoided coming here for that very reason, but when we finally took the opportunity one day, we were in for some of the best Korean food in the area. The grandma taking our order made the experience extra heartwarming. We came here a second time, and the worker, who I would think is the son, was just as kind. I'm so glad I got to try their Donkatsu Roll ($10). Fried pork cutlets wrapped in rice and seaweed belong together harmoniously, despite my initial skeptical thought of crispy breaded batter against soft rice. I wasn't expecting the Omelette Rice ($15) to taste so good, but the egg was the perfect consistency, adding an extra creaminess to the fried rice. This would be my go-to whenever I crave Korean food in Flushing.
We went to Chung Moo for an early dinner and were surprised to see that there were quite a few others there as well. We opted to sit outside because there was more space and fans to cool us down. We ordered the Donkatsu and Omelet Rice. Both dishes came with coleslaw, and the omelet rice came with yellow radish. We were also served miso soup and kimchi; the kimchi was incredibly well-marinated. The Donkatsu was great, and the sauce was sweet and savory. While the Omelet Rice was also good, we preferred a different type of meat inside the Omelet Rice. Both portions were big and relatively cheap, and the service was good. Overall, the food was good, but it didn't blow our minds. Nonetheless, we would still come back here again because the food is cheap and the portions are big.
Prices went up. The Chung moo roll is now $10. It's still delicious. They have the radish kim chi and marinaded squid and you can still taste the alcohol. The Kim chi Bulgogi Roll has very little Kim chi in it but it's still taste good and fresh. Made by a grandma and her son. The tax is included in the price. I think it's still cash only and they have outdoor seating. There's water in the back. Service by Grandma and she is very sharp. Ambiance is very casual. There's outdoor seating.
Hole in wall Korean that is run by a grandma and an auntie in the kitchen. Though it's not the cleanest or most comfortable place to sit in to eat- they are always very nice and quick to serve tea or water. The food is very much home style quick Korean so that means flavorful and large portions. Just remember to tip appropriately. read more
One of my favorite spots for tteokbokki and kimbap Classic comfort foods like kimbap and tteokbokki. High quality foods made fresh. This visit I ordered the vegetable burdock kimbap and tteokbokki. Last time I had the dakgalbi, and it was so good. Small space and limited seating. It will be a bit cramp, but cozy. Staff are professional and very patient. Willing to answer all questions about the food. One of my favorite spots for Korean comfort foods read more

Food was gas. Server/staff were nice. It wasn't that crowded despite being lunch time, so it was nice and quiet. They wouldn't let us sit outside, which is not a big deal but kind of defeats the purpose of having a nice outdoor seating area. read more
Chung Moo Rollrice & Dongas is my go-to spot for Korean comfort food in Flushing. This tiny restaurant serves up homey fare like stir-fried rice dishes and noodle soups, but I always go for their fresh kimbap. (For those who don't know what that is, think "sushi's Korean counterpart.") Their namesake chung moo kimbap originated from a South Korean harbor town by the same name (now known as Tongyeong), and consists of plain rice rolls served with spicy squid and spicy pickled radish. The story behind these rolls started when a fisherman's wife wanted to feed her husband a good lunch, but the kimbap she made would often spoil during his day out at sea. She decided to make rolls using just rice, individually wrapped each one, then separately included spicy sides. This kimbap stayed fresh longer, even during hotter weather. Other wives picked up this technique, and now chung moo rolls have become very popular throughout Korea. This kimbap is simple in execution, but sneakily addictive and with a strong spicy flavor. The slight chewiness of the marinated squid and the crunch of radish cubes pair well with the rice rolls. This kimbap constantly tests my spice tolerance. Whenever I start eating and the spiciness settles in, I begin to question my life decisions... all while using the kimbap to scoop up more fiery sauce that soaks into the rice. It's a very masochistic cycle. Whether you dine in or get it to go, you'll also get a steaming hot bowl of umami fish cake broth (sans fish cake), which usually helps to soothe my burning mouth. The beef kimbap is a good, milder option. It's filled with beef, carrot, spinach and pickled radish, and is freshly made and satisfying. The beef's a little sweet, like bulgogi (Korean grilled marinated beef), but not overly so. It works in a pinch whenever I'm craving kimbap without setting my mouth ablaze. I wouldn't recommend the cheese dukbokki, though. Although the rice cakes are light and chewy, the sauce is a little too watery and bland. No matter, though. As long as their chung moo kimbap remains on the menu, I'll be a forever customer. read more
Hole in the wall! Honestly great for a quick takeout meal and you get a good amount of food for the price you pay. I came here for breakfast with a friend and we sat in their outdoor seating area; a little secluded and the lady at the counter was taking care of takeout and "dine in" orders so wait was quite long. read more

YUM! Where else in NYC can you get hot Korean food at 8 am? #flushing Love the vibe. Super small hole in the wall with two grannies behind the counter. Veggie tofu soup was delish. Husband loved the ramen and rice cakes. He's made this a regular spot for his post-night shift munchies and can't say enough good things! read more

The portion of the sushi roll as well as the soup are big. Yummy and delicious. But maybe too spicy so stomachache afterward. read more
Chung Moo is a small Korean restaurant with three small tables. In the morning, the granny that runs the restaurant fries up various things for the day. Come in the morning if you want those fresh. They were tempting but I opted for the kimbap. Cash only. I had the spicy squid and beef kimbap. Both were good and were cut into 12 pieces. The beef has a slightly sweet flavor. read more
We came here because they are open early (9am) and serve tofu soup. We were greeted by a sweet couple. We ordered the mushroom tofu soup and omurice to go. It came with rice, cabbage with dressing and two small containers of kimchi. On the way out, they gave each of us a squid tempura which we watched them frying. We thanked them and enjoyed while walking to the car. The batter was seasoned so it was warm and tasty. At home I had the tofu soup with rice which I found really filling and could only finish half. I found the kimchi sweet but the soup was delicious. I look forward to going back and trying other dishes. read more

ooOooo this place is such a FIND let me tell you about this lil gem!! the food: the kimbap: you might be thinking, why get kimbap with nothing in it but rice and seaweed?? but chungmoo kimbap is actually supposed to be bland but paired with super flavorful, spicy sides that pack for you like spicy radish and marinated squid - makes it an amazing texture experience!! they give you a ton of donkatsu that's fried on spot, i recommend mixing it with all the sauce and the cabbage salad on the side the vibe: i didn't dine in but it's a veryyy small corridor - even though i took it to go, everything was delicious! read more

Ordered a tuna kimbap roll ($7) on my way home for a light dinner. I usually like coming here... not so much this time. The ratio of the rice and other ingredients was all wrong. Too much rice and the tuna was lacking. I try to come here to support local businesses. While Kimganae is right next door, I always support chung moo. I don't think I'll be back for a while. This visit left a not so great experience for me. It's just mediocre if you want a honest opinion. To give them some credit, they work in a very tight space so that is pretty impressive. Btw, they have a B rating. This has been going on for a while and that needs to change. Masks are required here so make sure you wear one. It's a hole in the wall so there may be a little line before you can order. FYI, they close around 9pm. read more

With all the options in Flushing, it is easy to overlook small local places like this. But sometimes that is where you find food that exceeds your expectations. Inside is small and looks outdated. But the staff here make some of the best Korean comfort foods that I have tried so far. The portions are very generous. It feels like we were eating at someone's home. The curry pork cutlet we got could easily feed two people. Everything was also priced fairly. Check this place out and support a local business with people that work hard to deliver quick and delicious food to their customers. read more
