Portion's a bit smaller, galbi is good and lots of side dishes, they'll grill the meat for you which is nice. Seafood pancakes are skippable, my piece was extra thick and tasted a bit bland even with the dipping sauce. We're also got the beef squid soup and that was meh too. Pork belly was just ok too, nothing too memorable from the meal.

Huge portions. Fresh ingredients. Bountiful banchans. Tasty! Convenient bell at each table to flag down your waitstaff. Very popular and busy.

1 order of Marinated Galbi

If you're looking for the superb service you're looking at the wrong place, however if you are looking for heartwarming belly filling meal you're in the right place. We showed up for a late dinner ordered the Seolleongtang and one order of the Saeng Galbi. The Seolleongtang was good, as always you adjust your seasoning to taste. The Galbi was tender, juicy and flavorful even though it was cooked inside and not table top. This establishment is not known for nice service but it gives a traditional old style Korean restaurant feel. My girlfriend didn't like how she felt like we are being rushed out, however the sea of banchan and the food that came made her forget about that. Just know what you're looking and have the right expectations for it! Very solid restaurant on my book.

Lunch specials p 1
Joe P.

Pretty solid Korean restaurant. We came for lunch and they have a LOT of lunch specials. I usually do not take pictures of menus but 3 pages of lunch specials. Had to take pics of that. The name of this restaurant means Galbi Town but we usually do not order the galbi as we like some of their other dishes better. We order ojingoe dolpan (squid, vegetables and rice in a lot plate) and ttaro gukbap (bean sprouts, noodles in spicy soup). Very traditional dishes and enjoyable. Friends seemed to enjoy their dishes. They gave a good amount of banchan (complimentary side dishes) although there were 5 of us so picture is a little misleading. PRO tip: you can ask for refills of the banchan that you like even though it is free (just don't go overboard). Service was a little slow but not horrible. Interior is your typical Korean upscale IKEA vibe. Overall pretty solid.

Beef

Enjoyed the crab,broccoli and potatoes. Service is fast and hospitable, didn't have to wait too long for the food. Roasted fish tasted good, and the meat was delicious. And the place gave a really nice feeling.

Lunch menu

Have not been here since my parents had soured on it. They were known for their lunch specials and the bountiful ban chan but I guess for a while they were being a little chintzy. There are so many other Korean restaurants in Queens so there is no need to go where ban chan is not plentiful. As an aside, shame on those LI "Korean" restaurants that charge for ban chan (appetizers), a big part of the Korean food eating experience is the INCLUDED appetizers. So we went and tried this place again. As you can see, ban chan was not lacking. It was tasty and when replenished when asked. I ordered the Ttaro gukbap which is a homey soup that comforts your tummy. It was just the right amount of spice, filled with vegetables noodles and whatever else is in there. Really enjoyed it! As with all restaurants, the prices have gone up but can't blame the restaurant for that. Great place to grab a Korean lunch special!

Yukgyejang
Karen C.

It's been awhile! I love their yukgyejang. This is my go to place for that soup. Hands down best one with classic ingredients. I hate when places put their own twist to the soup. As always comes with good variety of side dishes! The other dish is a must try is their dolpan bibimbab. Most places have a hot stone bowl but here it's a hot stone plate. So good!

spicy marinated crab
Ellen Y.

If you know, you know. spicy marinated crab. OUFFFFFFF spicy marinated crab, galbi

Banchan

This is a great kbbq spot in queens if you're also looking for an authentic Korean kinda dated restaurant vibe. I personally prefer this over the more modern and flashier kbbq restaurants. It was my first time here and def will not be my last! I loved all the banchan they gave as that isn't usual these days. They even gave marinated crab banchan!! I forgot to take photos of the marinated galbi and other short rib we ordered but it was great! I felt like it was pretty worth it for the quality but also the banchans themselves. The ladies working were also super sweet and friendly although they were hard to flag down sometimes. I'll def come back here!

The food overall is amazing, and the staff are one of the most observant, attentive, and kind people. I was so shocked how fast the food came and the speed of the service. The only thing I wished was for the portions to be bigger.

Raw soy crab
Grace L.

Came here for some raw soy sauce blue crabs today. Service was very nice, all the waitress even speak Chinese. We order seafood pancake and the raw crabs. Seafood pancake was really big and really good, but the raw crab wasn't as good. It was bit on saltier side. Will come back and try their bbq next time.

So much banchan!

See all

Downtown Flushing, Flushing

Overall: Would recommend depending on the time of day. They serve you, so I would recommend coming…read moreat a time with less people since there are mixed reviews about service during peak hours, but this time their service was AWESOME (best service I've ever had at a restaurant). Everything 5/5, I would come back. Came here with my partner around 1PM on a Saturday for AYCE KBBQ at $43 per adult. Unlike other KBBQ joints, the servers cook for you here. Sorry, not as many pictures as I had hoped for because I got lost in the eating... lol. Ambience: On the outside, store was inconspicuous but on the inside there was quiet K-pop music, lighting was warm/soft, and there were not many people. Food: Sides and appetizers were unlimited. The julienne pickled radish and carrots were amazing. The GF loves cheese steamed egg but I don't eat dairy. I recommend the addicting fried rice cake. There were some dull lettuce leaves but most were vibrant appearing, everything was clean. For meats, we tried to go down the list for beef cuts but got too before we could try everything. We ordered - Thin cut brisket: My favorite cut especially to start with. Thin so it cooks fast, tender, not too fatty. Not marinated so goes well with salt and pepper. - Hanger steak: Not marinated but simple, classic, and great with salt and pepper. Some pieces were tougher than others. - Finger meat: Not a fan, maybe the tendons in the meat made it tough to chew and hard to eat with the lettuce wrap. - Soy marinated short rib: Good. Light sweet marinade that wasn't overpowering and retained the meaty flavor. - Soy marinated beef bulgogi: Decent. Would say the bulgogi definitely absorbed too much sauce and a little on the saltier side which kind of overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. Service: AMAZING, best service I've ever received at a restaurant. The server clearly took pride in his work. Recommended to us where to sit to not get splashed by oils from the grill. He anticipated all of our needs. He saw I was getting garlic out of my GF's plate and brought me a separate massive plate of garlic (I am a glutton). Gave us refills of appetizers and lettuce before we even ran out. Cooked everything for us and was attentive throughout the whole experience.

AYCE - the quality of the meat was surprise great. Esp loved the hanger steak…read more The kimchijigae was actually really good, I ordered twice. So much better than the soybean soup. Not a lot of sides (non-bbq dishes). But the service was great as they cook for you. Matthew was great!

It was a bit drafty at the table closest to the doors, but the host was super accommodating and willing to switch our table. He also provided us with some hot tea while we waited - so considerate! We decided on the Mixed Combo B for 2, which comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, brisket, and marinated short ribs. All of the meats are really good. I'm not the biggest fan of pork shoulder, but this was good here! Kimchi stew always hits different at BBQ spots, and Golden Pig's is delicious. We ordered an extra to go! They don't have a takeout menu yet, but the staff was kind enough to pack us some kimchi and rice anyway. Banchan here is simple but done really well. All orders are put in on the tablet at each table. While the layout of the restaurant is still very much similar to Jeong Yook and Baekjeong previously, it's definitely an upgrade. Ventilatation is pretty good but be prepared to still smell a bit after. Prices are super reasonable. Parking is doable but not always the easiest. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Came here late night around 11pm as a group of 8. They had plenty of seating around this time and…read morewe got seated immediately. Tables were clean and I loved how the chairs can open up and you can put your things inside. We ordered seafood pancake, japchae, combo C Wagyu beef, pork jowl meat, army stew, and fried mushroom with sweet and sour sauce. The combo came with steamed egg and your choice of Kimchi stew/soybean paste stew. I have to say everything was delicious, quality was amazing you can see the nice marbling on their meats! Sometimes when I go to a kbbq, some meats are just meh and tough to eat. But everything was so good. My favorite meat was the marinated short rib. The servers cooked for us and asked us how done we liked our meat and they constantly refilled our kimchi and side salads as well. They provided hot tea and cold water for us too which were stored in really nice carafes. Little small details in this place just elevated the experience for me. I would definitely come back! I think price was very reasonable for a kbbq place as well!

I was so busy eating and yapping, I forgot to take any photos. I went on a rainy night during the…read moreweek and the place never filled up, just a couple of tables. The location is the upstairs of a dim sum place that use to have the first floor and second floor. This place use to have the best dim sum. I didnt know they turned the upstairs into a bbq place. The vents are built under the table so you have to be careful getting up bc there is a step. Good ventilation- I didnt smell of bbq when I left. My only gripe is the portions they serve are huge- I would rather smaller portions so you can try more of a variety. Staff was very attentive and cooked everything for you. Sauce station could be cleaner- there was literally 8 people at the whole time I was there. Dessert selections could be better too. It is a bit pricey.

The food itself was actually very good and you could tell the ingredients were high quality, especially when they brought out the Wagyu beef for the hibachi. Unfortunately the experience was very disorganized. Our group was seated in the back rooms that can accommodate large groups, and the service felt rushed and uncoordinated. The staff rarely explained what dishes were being served, so most of the time we weren't even sure what we were eating. When the chef started cooking the Wagyu beef hibachi-style, there was no explanation about the cuts or types of Wagyu being served, which was disappointing because that's usually part of the experience. Overall the food was good, but the service and communication really took away from the evening. I might consider coming back in the future, but I'd probably sit at one of the tables in the front and order directly so the experience feels more organized and interactive
