    Quality of food was pretty good. Service was pretty bad though. Very inattentive and we had to ask multiple times for refill of water and we also had to ask for kimchi. When we wanted more kimchi servers pointed to the kimchi (barely any) on our table. Overall food was pretty good, it was also pricey, but service wasn't the best

    Underrated grilled clams in Flushing! The clams here are huge and juicy. My bf pro tip is to save all the clam juice and pour it into the udon, you'll be amazed at how the flavors come together! The richness of the clam juice adds an incredible depth to the broth.

    #2 modum jogae - 2 clam shells, 2 mussels, 2 shells w/ special sauce $43 #16 somak chang - beef intestines - $30 Sojus $13 each FANTASTIC food experience! Ive never had grilled clams or large intestines so this was super amazing. We ordered the above things and the soup and steamed egg came with every table. The rice is $ add on. Once the clams had their juices boiling, they would open. Thats when u know it was ready to eat. They serve it with gochujang and another spicy sauce. The standout dish for me was the beef instetsives. My friend reced that bc he think the small intestines are too chewy. They sauteed on high heat on another table bc it takes long for us to grill solo and then placed the final platter on our grill. BOYYYYYY omg my first bite was frigging divine. DIVINE. I LOVE TEXTURE and this was GOLD. I took the pickled jalapeños, piece of intestines and dunked it in sesame oil and BOoom!!! It was part salty, chewy, tart, crunchy, umami, everything. Another tip my friend recd was to take a shot of soju and then do that whole combo bite above. That's even better bc he said the solution cleanses the palette This was a great experience. It is worth to go again

    A friend of a friend recommended this for authentic Korean food, particularly the clams! There's photos with all the dishes on the menu so everything is very clear. My party of 5 ordered 5 dishes to share and some soju! My favorite was the samgyupsal (pork belly) and the beef wraps, which they provide leaves and sauces for you to make them with! These two come already cooked. The seafood platter we got had scallops, clams, and mussels which was enough for one per person. I wasn't blown away by this in particular - they came and were cooked to your liking on the grill. We also got a buddajigae which is the army stew - always a hit! A medley of veggies, tofu, ramen, mushroom, sausage, etc in a hot soup is a winner. The seafood pancake was nothing special to me, a carb to feel full! Everything ranged from $30-40 per dish, but again very shareable. The chairs you sit on open up so that can you can store your bag or coat so the bbq smell doesn't permeate it - ingenious!

    I had high expectation when I arrived at the restaurant because the decoration/set up is like a restaurant you would see on kdrama. But when the food came, I was disappointed. Because we ordered 1 portion of three different meat, they wouldn't let us grill at the table. Also, the portion was a little small, but quite expensive. Not a lot of ban chan as well.

    First time here and already know I'll be coming back, but only downside is that items are a little overpriced. Wouldn't come here for grilled meat because of the price but their other cooked items are delicious! Tons of soup options, highly recommend the clam noodle soup - the little pieces of dough/"noodle" are so chewy and goes so well with the pepper-y clam soup. If you're adventurous, the beef intestines are a must get too! Vibe feels just like you're at a local pocha in Korea. Spacious and didn't have a wait on a Saturday night. Huge plus - food came out quickly!

    One of my favorite kbbq spots. They have lots of seafood options. I usually go with scallops. They have a sauce on top and cheese. I'm lactose intolerant so I just pick off the cheese before it melts. The kalbi is marinated to perfection. The pork belly practically melts in your mouth! It was so good, last minute we got a second order. They cooked everything except the scallops before putting it on the grill on our table. We got the kimchi jjigae with pork belly instead of tuna and it was amazing! The kimchi and the pork belly made for a perfect combination. It was pretty spicy though... would probably ask for it to be less spicy next time. Service is great, the waiters are all very nice and attentive. It gets pretty busy for dinner time.

    Mediocre and a little overpriced. The seafood combo turned out bigger than we expected it to be. The clams were good. The servers open it for you once the clams start opening themselves, but you gotta be careful before they start over cooking. The marinaded scallops were really good, but wasn't a huge fan of the mussels. Wouldn't really recommend the bbq meats though. They're a little overpriced. We got a small plate of brisket for $30 and kalbi for about the same. The complimentary kimchi soup + egg soufflé hit the spot though. Saw a lot of reviews about poor service, but I thought they were pretty nice and attentive.

    I really like the free side dishes that come with our BBQ. We had sliced conch with gochujang, gyeranjjim (steamed eggs), stew and salad. Everything was good. I liked the seafood combo (huge clams, fresh scallops on the shell, small but fresh mussels, snow crab legs and shrimp). The snow crab leg and shrimps are cooked separately in a pan of butter. The meat selection was also pretty good (Recommend: Kalbi, thick pork belly, beef tongue). We also ordered the seafood pancake which came pretty loaded with seafood. Not sure what was going on but oil kept splattering up and around, causing us to jump from our seats. Best to sit in a table that doesn't have a wall against your back. Service was good and bad, couple of times they spilled stuff on us, forgot sauces here and there, but overall our main server did his best to accommodate us. Goo Gong Tan is conveniently located near the Murray Hill stop on the LIRR station. Parking is a little hard to find, so maybe just take public transportation. I think this is a great place to go with a group, so you can try everything. Price is a little more expensive than your norm, but food was pretty solid.

    If you are getting sick of Korean BBQ with pork and beef, this place offer amazing seafood bbq! The combo comes with steamed eggs and clear soup which made us ordering more soju!!!! The service were attentive, they kept checking on us and brought everything we needed. We also ordered so many other things, they were also great.

    Came here for the first time and I loved it! The interior is nothing special. Seems pretty cheap and bar like but the food was great! We ordered a serving of pork belly and an order of the wang jogae. It was a lot of food! The service was great. They cooked everything for us and we didn't have to do a thing. I would definitely recommend this place to anything who is craving grilled bbq or seafood.

    It's official, Korean seafood grills like this should only be visited to drink THEN to eat. I made the mistake of visiting just for the food and I thought it was just OK. This place kinda had the same feel as Sik Gaek a few blocks away. The food: Haemul Pajun- Seafood pancake. I thought the one here was good. I thought the seafood flavor was nice and I enjoyed the crispiness of the pancake. I would get this again. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5ngZttMP2WfIiHTevRHpGg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Hang Jung Sal- Pork jowl BBQ. This was pretty good but I was expecting it to be sexier. It was just OK, I was expecting it to be fattier and more tender. The flavor was alright. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CFY14F5I-Ha3z-6GET-KwQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Wang JoGae- scallop, clams, whelk, mussels, clams w/ special sauce and small seafood-udon. This was a big ass seafood grill and I was kinda disappointed. The flavor of the seafood was on the mild side, it was basic grilled seafood but the seafood was lacking in flavor. I did enjoy the clams since they were really fresh, but everything else was kinda boring. The seafood udon I did not like. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=d8gnirvNJiB2zJd78EFdOg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA

    Not bad if a place. Unfortunately we didn't get to cook our own food but overall the food quality was good. The wait staff were pretty friendly. The place offers an authentic Korean BBQ experience which was amazing. The dollar to value you get is a little skewed, $32 for 6 small pieces of steak is a bit much so they do need to work on their pricing.

Everything was SO delicious! I loved the cheese tteokgalbi, which were even better with the rosemary lime aioli dipping sauce. The gukbap had a strong, savory broth and rice came on the side, so I enjoyed dipping it into the soup. The beef was cooked perfectly.

The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things.

    I was at this very tasty KBBQ place a while back with one of my usual groups. The inside is casual,…read moreand our waitress, Jane, was extremely friendly and helpful from refilling banchan to cooking meats and otherwise. A couple of us shared a $13 bottle of the green grape flavor of Chum Churum, a soju. In terms of banchan, there was a bunch. Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.

In addition, I also received the gaejang (marinated raw crab) which was a nice touch. We also ordered the daegi gukbap (pork soup with rice), a comfort dish and kimchi pancake which was really tasty. Our server was good. We arrived past the busier lunch hourso this was a pleasant non-hurried experience.
