Decent food and service. We ordered the slow simmered chicken stew, potato pancake and the fried rice at the end. The only dish that really stood out was the potato pancake, but even that was just average. I've been coming to this restaurant over the years and it's been slowly going south. If you are to come and eat here I would recommend getting the potato stew (kind of the main star of this joint). All the rest is just subpar and not great. The upside is that they have a soju special where the first 4 bottles are 5 bucks a piece. So if you're looking for a cheap place to drink this is definitely the spot! read more

I went here for a late night after flight. The food fit perfectly for an exhausted time. Warm and friendly servers. Amazing soup that warms your stomach. Comes quickly and rich in taste. Recommend to everyone who like Korean soup or simply, soup. read more

I love the gamjatang! Must try! The pork bone stew is great for 2 people to share and you can ask the waiter to add rice into the pot when you finish the stew. They also give you many side dishes( yes, you can refill!) and steamed egg pot. I will definitely come back again! read more

Had the pork bone stew and it was amazing!! The bf had the super spicy bulgogi with pork bone stew and it was super spicy indeed. They also gave my favorite egg (not sure of the name) and that too was amazing. Plus it was on the house woohoo! We got rice included with the order. Our waiter was excellent. Tea was refilled very often. People were very attentive. Will be coming back for more! read more

Geo Si Gi - So yummy!!! #comfortfood #korean - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

No words can express how satisfied we are. Everything went smoothly and their food are the best as always.

Mediocre food but the service is good. We ordered the set and it was able to fill six people. If you're craving kimchi and dukbokki, this is definitely not the place to go. Gave four stars because the waitress was nice and helpful. read more

I came here for lunch with the family and we ordered the army stew for 2, seafood pancake and a beef dish for 4 people. It was the perfect amount to share. Everything came out to about $100 after tax tip. Kinda pricey for what we got, but most korean dishes are expensive so I kinda expected it. The army stew was delicious and totally hit the spot! I don't really eat spicy, and I forgot to tell them no spicy. It was too light, but they said it wasn't spicy. I didn't believe them at first, but they weren't lying. Even though my giant pot looked bright red and really spicy, it wasn't spicy at all. I could have even used a bigger kick to be honest! So if you can do a small spice kick, then you should be able to eat this fine. The army stew also known as budae jungol was delicious! It had so much flavor and I loved pouring the soup on top of the rice. It also came with good ingredients like spam, sausage, ramen, kimchi, tofu. Yep, all that good stuff! It's nice on a cold winter day. The seafood pancake was also good. Lots of scallions though. There was actual pieces of squid in it, small pieces of shrimp. It was good, but I've had better. This didn't wow me like other places. The beef was also good. It came with small pieces of rice cake. This wasn't amazing, but good for what it was. The side dishes were also good and came with a good variety. The servers here speak korean and mandarin. The menu is also in korean and mandarin as well as english so that was perfect. The service here was typical asian service. Overall, I had a good meal and I'd return for the budae jungol any time. They also have a smaller cheaper portion budae jjigae for about $13 if you like that. read more

Me and my son went to this establishment and order 'special beef rib soup"(kale bi tang) which is most traditional Korean cuisine. As per picture showing, it's not consider it as beef rib, it's very low quality meat . I hope non Korean people doesn't think this 'fake galbitang' is Korean tranditional beef rib soup. All the staff and waitress was kind, down to earth I want to credit their such a hard work. read more

I love there spicy pork leg dish. A little pricy considering I'm the only one who eats it in the family :) .. Overall I like the dishes there, authentic flavor and clean, neat takeout packing. Good to have a store like this in the neighborhood when I crave family style Korean dishes. read more

Had the Curry Gamja Tang, Dakdori Tang, La Galbi Gui, Jok Bal, and Haemul Pajeon Everything was cooked perfectly, rich with flavor Service was fast as well Service was very fast as well read more

The gamjatang is very good. The pork loins were extremely tender and comes in a warm spicy broth with lots of vegetables, although I do wish I got more enoki. Loved the couple pieces of rice cake they threw in there for some chewiness. Portions are very big as we couldn't finish what we ordered. Could imagine coming here very often during the winter when I'm craving something hot. read more

Geo Si Gi - Geo Si Gi Gamja Tang - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

What was once a favorite among my friend group sadly is no longer...came here with my friend and she wanted meat so we got the combo gamjatang with pork trotters. Service was horrible. There were two waitresses and one busser working and there were 2 other tables besides ours . One of the waitresses legit fell asleep at the table she was watching movies from her phone on and the other gave us the worst attitude and service I've ever encountered. We asked for more kimchi and she refused . That has never happened to us before there plus their Banchan dishes are so tiny. My friend politely asked for garlic and peppers to eat with the stewed meat and the waitress kept shaking her head annoyed and insisting no no this sauce goes with it. Mind you they also gave us only one small dish of sauce . Never once refilled my tea and had a grumpy dismeanor throughout. Didn't see her giving good service to the other tables as well. When we used to come here the service was always on par. This time we watched the other waitress doze off and politely tried to wave to the grumpy one asking her for the check or to go boxes . read more

decent korean food in queens. not exactly the most convenient location but the food was well worth it! came here with a group of girl friends craviing for korean food. we found out this place was recommended by anthony bourdain and wanted to try it out. the service was attentive and the food came very quick. for the 6 of us we had the - gamja tang (pork pieces with potatoes, assorted veggies and udon) - japchase (glass noodles) - korean pancake - galbi ribs (beef) - grilled fish (recommended by the restaurant) they were nice enough to divide the soup up for us since we didn't have enough space on our table. gamjatang is def a must order. perfect for a winter day! however i would skip the grilled fish. it was a bit dry in my opinion and everything else we ordered were already enough food and better than the fish. would def come back to try their other stuff. but you can't go wrong coming here. no wait, and not crowded like all the other places in flushing main street area and ktown. read more

Food was ok, nothing spectacular that particularly stood out to me. There are definitely better korean restaurant options on Northern Blvd. The pork bibimbap and the seafood pancake were flavorful and plentiful. The service was so-so as they did not immediately seat us, despite us being the only customers at the time; we even beat the dinner rush. We also felt that we were rushed out by the staff when they placed the check on our table even before we asked for it. Overall, a good place to try if you're looking for something new but it seems that the service is going to be a hit or miss. read more

Was looking to eat some Korean tonight and this place looked good. Am happy I tried it. Service was kind, Though there was a slight language barrier. Food was tasty. I really enjoyed the kimchi. I enjoy this way of eating. It's not rushed. I will certainly visit this place again. read more

Absolutely delicious potato stew! It's not as plain as it sounds! The "potato stew" is loaded with all kinds of Korean spices, Korean veggies and the most tender pork. It was my first experience so the waitress explained you take some pork with some cabbage and dip it in the spicy mustard sauce then eat it with some rice. I almost exploded after the meal and there were still leftovers. I ordered the serving for 2 with my girlfriend and we had enough left for a whole new meal. It's the perfect meal for the cold (weather and health) or any day since it's that darn good. The next time I come, I'll be ready to finish the whole soup. read more

A great place for hot stews, definitely ideal for a cold day. The stews here are really delicious. They're packed full of vegetables, potatoes, and chunks of tender pork all swimming in a deep rich spicy (but not too spicy) broth. A bowl or two (or three) of this stew with rice is the perfect meal. You have the option of choosing a size to feed a certain number of people. For the 4 of us we ordered a size big enough for 3 and it was way too much! Along with your soup you also get a side dish. We ordered the spicy chicken feet. It was really good but the spicy level was too hot for me and ultimately I had to tap out and just stick with the soup which was a loss that I'm glad to take. They serve the soup with a spicy horseradish/mustard dip that pairs with the tender pork in the stew very well. Overall this is a great place to eat. Quick and friendly service. I will be back read more

Amazing food, excellent service and huge portions. Best place for the locals. Such great homestyle authentic Korean Gamja Tang. I was born and raised in Korea and it makes me feel like I'm back in Korea! I would highly recommend this place if you feel like eating Gamjatang! Keep up the good work! read more

Beware: I ordered their GAMJAHTANG that I've loved forever until I was severely faced with FOOD POISONING. The meat looked a bit odd at first glance but figured it was just how it's cooked. NO I was vomiting all day and feel nauseous even now. They should do better in preparing their meat. Forever TRAUMATIZED from going here ever again. read more

Superb service. I came here for the first time on Saturday night for dinner with a group of 3. It was during peak hours but we didn't have to wait longer than 10 minutes. We grabbed our seats, got warm barley tea aka boricha and ordered set menu #5, which comes with gamja tang and haemul pajun (seafood pancake) for 3 people ($60.95). We also ordered a bottle of citron soju with our meal. They check your ID if you're getting alcohol so just be aware. Afterwards, the banchans (side dishes) were spread on the table and as we were picking on them, the seafood pancake came out and was served on our individual plates with their soy sauce based dip. I think they use the water from the potato puree in their pancakes, which makes it chewier and so much more tastier. When the gamja tang came out, I couldn't help but compare it to the way how Sik Gaek serves their hotspots except I'd choose their gamja tang any day. I just love potatoes and they are generous with the ingredients that come with the dish. It's also great how they serve the gamjatangs on top of a gas burner, keeping it hot throughout your meal. I'd also recommend asking for a bowl of rice to mix'em all with the soup base. Don't be afraid to use your hands to pick the meat from the hard to reach places on the pork bones. Wait, let's briefly talk about the meat--they fall right off the bones and melt in your mouth. Oy, someone give me a fan. Also, feel free to add on some extras like rice cakes, ramen, udon noodles, dried cabbages, pork loins and fried rice. You have to pay extra and range from $3.95 to $11.95 depending on what you get but it might be worth it if you like any of those things. I wouldn't say this is the perfect spot for your first date but a great place to gather with your family/friends over a gigantic pot of hot, delicious soup full of goodness. I came with two other guys and they told me we could've easily went with the smaller alternative for 2 people ($51.95) instead of 3. It's a miracle that we were even able to stand up and waddle over to our cars afterwards. I know for a fact that we overstayed our welcome. One of my longtime friend was visiting from another country and we were just chatting up a storm while slurping, chewing and chowing down our meal. But I never once felt like we were being rushed to pay the bill. I think the total came out to about $73 and we gave a $20 tip. I wish I could've asked for our waiter's name because his service was superb. It also didn't hurt that he was funny and cracked a few jokes here and there. Parking can be a pain in the butt during weekends, especially if you're coming here for dinner. You might have to circle around the area a few times but just cross your fingers, be persistent and you'll eventually snag one. I haven't tried any of their other dishes but this first impression really nailed it for me. I'll definitely be back. read more

My new Korean spot in flushing. I never cared about Korean pancake before but their seafood pancakes are sooo good. It's chewy and crispy at the same time. I also really liked their gamja tang but all their food was good. I will definitely come back. read more

I am so sad to have to write this review but I just can't believe how disappointing their gamja tang was tonight. I've been such a fan for years, sending family and friends because I love gamja tang and Geo Si Gi made it the best in the area. I ordered 3 servings of the Woo Gu Ji Gamja Tang to have with my parents. They were super excited as well because they also loved Geo Si Gi. The tang itself was so tasteless and the meat tasted old. My mom thinks they took the soup base and made multiple servings out of it. Basically if it's for 3 servings they split it by making it into 5 servings by adding water to it. She tried to save it by adding some extra ingredients to jazz it up but it just didn't work. We just couldn't eat it and had to throw it all away. I know times are tough because of covid but this is not the way to handle your food. I'd rather pay more for top quality and I believe a lot of people feel the same way. Geo Si Gi was a staple but I'm sad to say you've lost some long time customers. read more

I've always been curious about Gamjatang (direct translation: potato stew). It's called potato stew, but it's really pork bone stew with a few potatoes thrown in. Man, where has this been all my life?? 22 of us descended on Geo Si Gi after church, and they split us up into two groups - a table of 6 on one side and a table of 16 on the other. In an effort to eat as much as possible, I moved over to the table of 6. We ordered the standard gamjatang - Geo si gi gamjatang as we didn't need anything extra (like seafood, curry, kimchee, etc as the other gamjatang options). We ordered the 4 portion option, as well as gamja pajun (potato pancake)! I LOVE potato pancakes (LATKES!), and seriously - didn't even know that my people had our own type of potato pancake. It's AMAZING. It is a bit of work to eat the Gamjatang, as the meat comes on the bone and you have to pick the meat off with chopsticks, and it's really messy, but it's SO GOOD. I also really enjoyed the sweet wasabi dipping sauce that added another layer of flavor on the pork + vegetables. Definitely not a date dish as it's really sloppy to eat, but it's so worth it! After we had eaten our fill of the pork and vegetables, they made a fried rice dish with the leftover stew afterwards. I ate so much I needed to lie down for a few hours afterwards. Even with the four portion option, the 6 of us ate to our hearts content and ended up shelling out $22 per person. I was literally just here a few days ago, but I'm sitting here wondering if I can get someone to go back here with me this week! SO GOOD! read more

Came for their boodae jjigae and it did not disappoint. Good portion and all tasted delicious. Friendly wait staff who let us (3 ppl) sit on an eight-people table. Very good for family with small ones. Overall pleasant first visit and looking forward to go back soon. read more

My first and last time here. I was enjoying dinner with my friends when I felt something alien and crunchy in my mouth. It had a weird and foreign taste so I took it out of my mouth and behold, on my plate was a cockroach. It was fully intact and still twitching. I'm not sure what the sanitary grade for this restaurant was but it should definitely be evaluated and graded appropriately. What kind of restaurant cooks cockroaches into its dishes? Highly disappointed. read more

With so many BBQ joints around the area, it's nice to have a spot that specializes in casseroles only - especially during a cold winter day. And it certainly was a cold winter day. Geo Si Gi specializes in casseroles with a pork bone based soup. We opted for the dried cabbage with vegetables casserole for 2 and a seafood pancake. The seafood pancake was awesome. It's usually filled with shrimp, squid, and scallions, but Geo Si Gi also makes it with clams (fresh clams and not the little tiny frozen clams). The casserole for 2 was humungous! It's served in a simmering pot and mini stove. Our waitress helped serve us and gave us each a huge ladleful of veggies and a huge piece of pork bone. The flavor was out of this world. Spicy, savory, and you can taste the flavor of the pork. The dried cabbage rehydrated to the perfect consistency. The pork... oh, the pork was amazing. The meat was fell off the bones and melt in your mouth good. The portion for 2 is plenty to share for even groups of 3. We each had 3 bowls, each filled with the same amount as the first bowl, and there was still maybe at least 1 serving left. Aside from the food, the service was great! We got there early so there was no wait. The staff was attentive and friendly. Once a glass was near empty or a bowl was done, they were immediately at table side to replenish. I will gladly come back to Geo Si Gi! read more

Came here for the casserole and got the one with the same name as the restaurant - Geo si gi gamja tang (casserole with vegetable and pork loin) for two. They gave us some banchan and I really liked the mackerel. The egg and the kimchi was pretty good too. I could tell this was gonna be a big meal because I was already getting kinda full but at the sight of the gamja tang my need for a feeding frenzy came rushing back. I loved the huge pieces of pork spine. They had lots of meat on them. The broth was a delicious looking red but it wasn't as spicy as it looked. The flavor was good. There were enough potatoes and vegetables ( chrysanthemum, cabbage, bean sprouts, scallions ) to help me take a break from eating meat when I needed. By the end of it, we were STUFFED. The nice waiter came by and asked if we wanted to finish up with rice but we simply had no more space left and had to refuse. This was well worth the trip for us and I noticed that soju is cheap here. For once we had a car so that made the trip easy but I think I'll be taking public transportation here very soon. It would be a good place to come with a small group of friends to eat and drink - especially during the winter. read more

Gamjatang is my FAVORITE Korean food, and I was so thrilled to find this place. The food is SO amazing. Service is okay. But I don't mind because the food is so good. It is slightly overpriced, but that's okay too. I'd eat this any day. What's also amazing is that the alcohol is SO cheap. A bottle of soju is $3, whereas other restaurants charge anywhere between $10-20 a bottle ($6 at a liquor store). I don't know how they do it, but they do it. And Makguhli (rice wine) is like $6 or something, too. Just pure amazingness. The only downside of this is that if you go on a weekend night, you have to wait FOREVER to be seated because people are drinking and they never want to leave with the cheap alcohol and the spicy soup that soothes your liver. But again, I don't mind the wait because I'm just completely in love with this place. Order combo #1 to try the gamjajuhn (potato pancake) too. Pure heavenliness. read more

Food was great and the sides are great as well! In fact, I particularly enjoyed the salad thing and sardines they had for the side in which was very flavorful! The staff seem pretty nice, but my ONLY complaint would be that the lady got my whole order wrong because she didn't speak English. I asked for a BEEF soondubu and NO ONIONS but she gave me seafood soondubu with a lot of onions. I was surprised because you'd think someone would speak English especially when you're in Queens and will most likely be getting English speaking customers. I was kind of bummed out about that, but nonetheless the food was tasty. Also, make sure you tell them how spicy you would your food, otherwise tears will be running down your poor face. read more

Geo Si Gi - Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

See all

This place specializes in stews that are shared with the table - they don't have your usual korean bibimbap or noodles. The waiter brings out a huge pot and places it on a burner on your table, and cooks it for a bit before spooning the stuff into your bowl. It's a crazy soup full of meat on the bone and long stringy vegetables that I had never seen before. And it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. That broth. It's out of this world. We were definitely the only non-Asian people in the crowded restaurant and the waiter even asked us how we had found this place. I'm not going to lie, though - if you're a picky eater, or if you can't handle spicy food, or if you're grossed out by seeing vertebral bones in your food - stay away. But if you're looking to taste the most amazing broth on the planet, you should stop in. The waiters are super friendly and will explain everything to you. read more

One of my fave restaurants in Flushing. Definitely a go-to. I always get the combo with the original gamjatang and the bossam. SO SO GOOD. I always get the extra dduk and udon noodles for the gamjatang as well. Definitely a lot of food and always have leftovers of the gamjatang. I've also tried the super spicy seafood gamjatang as well. This one is also VERY good but VERY spicy so beware. I've also had the haemool pajun (seafood pancake) and it is very yummy as well. read more

CATS restaurant review system NOW. Cost: Gamjatang here goes for around $30 for 2-3 people, which is reasonable for Korean big pot stews (Jeon-Gol). Generally I think most Korean food is a bit overpriced but it becomes understandable by seeing the amount of work that's put into the waiters/waitresses' hands. Atmosphere: Typical Korean restaurant with bright lights (urgh DIMMED LIGHTS PLEASE) and wooden theme decor. The tables are a bit closer to each other so it can get a bit loud if the other table is a drinking table. Taste: The Gamjatang here is exceptional. I'd have to say I've tasted better around the area approximate to this place, but they have a distinctive taste of which isn't necessarily great, but still special enough to bring me back for more. Service: The waiters/waitresses are nice and friendly. Though their English isn't too strong they try their best to provide excellent service. I come here occasionally when I want some Gamjatang and soju with my friends. They're open till around 3AM, which is quite perfect for you late food cravers (such as myself). read more

My wife had this crazy craving for some GamJaTang - potato and pork casserole. After looking in Yelp, this place seemed to come up with good reviews. We went for an early dinner on a Saturday with some other folks and checked them out. We took a look at the menu and it was a set menu! I like set menus - it draws you in to ordering that other thing that is attached to the main dish. I think it might be subliminal. We ordered 3 servings of the Gamjatang and the spicy pork dish with kimchee and tofu that was attached as a set menu. Wow the Gamjatang was really good. You can tell that the pork was definitely the focus of the dish. The meat was so well done it was falling off the bone. The broth and the garnishing was really good as well. In fact, the dish was so good that we ended up not eating the pork kimchee and tofu dish - not because it wasn't good but just because the Gamjatang was so good. There are other side dishes that you can add to the Gamjatang but we chose to just stay with the original. I really liked this place and I could see myself coming back for other dishes as well. read more

Walked out saying that was definitely one of the top 10 meals I've ever had in my life. We came here one late Tuesday night really wanting some good korean food. I've always walked past it when I went to BCD (which was a couple doors down) but never did since practically all the signs + menus are in Korean and i felt intimidated to step foot inside. This time my boyfriend who IS korean (haha) was with me so I finally made it in! It's a small little place but has a decent amount of tables. It was pretty busy for a Tues night and one waiter but he was quick and attentive and didn't make us feel left out at all. Good service. We ordered the pork hotpot stew for 2 (Gamjatang) and just had the bonchon that came along with it and we left STUFFED and SATISFIED. You know it's legit when the meat falls right off the bone. It also had rice cakes, and veggies and potatoes. The stew looks mighty spicy when it comes out but the perfect amount of flavor that you don't mind the hotness at all. A couple things from the bonchon was good palette cleansers which went along with the meal very nicely. All in all - I would definitely come back again and try their own dishes. I am really glad I had a chance to come in and certainly won't be my last !! read more
