Great Korean restaurant for good food and drinks! Decent atmosphere and good service. We had a lot of appetizers and tapas. Decent variety of flavors. I really liked the Grilled Mackerel and the Grilled Pork Belly dishes. I also thought they had some interesting dishes like the octopus and the fried oysters. A bit on the pricier side, but I would still recommend you to give it a try! read more

Small space but the food is so good. I'm definitely going back. Feel in love with the waiter when this happened... So a gentleman left the bathroom door open and the light on. As soon as the waiter saw this, he immediately went and turned the light off and closed the door... OMG, you know how long I've been try to get my husband and kids to turn the lights off went they exit the bathroom at home. Sorry got off track. The salad was delicious, the combination of mango and avocado. The Strawberry Nigori is a bit on the sweeter side, so I may stick to the Lemon Soju which I also liked or try another drink. Steak was perfect to my taste (medium rare). read more

This restaurant came highly recommended and I can see why it was top rated amongst my friends. We came during the holiday week and it was pretty empty, but I heard it usually gets packed on a normal day. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but feels very cozy and has a great chill ambiance. The server was very attentive and friendly. The menu variety is on the smaller side, but a lot of good options. The house salad was pretty good. The free steamed egg was great. For appetizers, we got the octopus, chicken karaage, pork belly, chilean sea bass, bronzini, and hot pot fish egg rice. The tako-wasabi was really pretty addicting-- spicy, tangy and refreshing. The only con was the cucumber wasn't slice appropriately for this dish because it was hard to bite and also overpowered the octopus. The chicken karaage was crispy and nicely seasoned. The pork belly was oh-so-delicious. Paired with the shredded scallion and the sauce on top! The chilean sea bass was pretty buttery and soft. The bronzini was a little dry imo, but not too bad. The hotpot fish egg rice was unique with a mixture of the different fish roes. Tasty, but good to share because it might taste too heavy. Overall, it was a great meal and would come back here again. read more

I've been here twice and I haven't had a bad food item at Gupji yet. Appetizers: 4 of us were able to split an appetizer flight. Sweet potato croquette (5/5): perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy snd sweet inside Tako wasabi (5/5): a really refreshing snack Mozzarella sticks and fries (4/5): nothing mind-blowing but solid basics Gupji salad (5/5): I need to figure out how to make this sauce. It's a really refreshing combo of ingredients. Fried oysters (4/5): not fishy at all! Karaage (4/5): not quite as juicy as I'm used to, but not bad either Mains: Grilled pork belly (5/5): I've gotten this twice now, and it's been so good both times. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seared. Comes with some seasoned cabbage and tasty garlic slices. You can ask for veggies to wrap the pork belly too. Mackerel (5/5): really well seasoned fish. Firm and flaky. Salmon Hot Iron Plate Rice (4/5): Mayo salmon over a bed of purple rice. The crispy bits were great. Still have quite a few more menu items to try!! read more

I love Mackerel bento box from here. I just ordered it for take out. Bento box was sealed firmly and portion was perfect for one serving ( I actually shared it with my husband) . Mackerel is well- cooked has crispy skin and side dishes are lovely. There were kara age , radish-jalapeño, fried egg rolls, ginger and kimchi. I finished whole box completely. It Was a good dinner , must try bento box read more

Because of Covid we made reservations before we got there. They were so nice over the phone and the service in person was great. We really enjoyed the food. We ordered the appetizer sample for $28. So worth it. It was half portions of all the appetizers on the menu. Great way of taste testing everything on the menu. For the entrees, we order the mackerel, spicy pork belly and the rice with fish eggs. All delicious. For drinks, we tried the lemon soju, delish. Everything was good. Highly recommend this place. read more

Neighborhood korean seafood bar. Very cozy - only have about 4 tables and a small bar? Great for date nights, dimly lit with music ranging from lofi to korean throwback ballads. You'll occasionally run into belligerent drunkards who've had a little too much soju, but i don't think you can really blame the bar for that one. Food is great. I usually get fish roe rice (comes out in hot stone bowl more similar to bibimpbap than i imagined), non spicy cod soup (tastes like home and so clean - not drenched in msg) and grilled fish. I would not recommend taco wasabi though, it didn't taste very fresh. Service is usually on point. It's a small space so servers are pretty attentive. read more

I've gotten take out from this place twice already and been impressed with it each time. Both times I got the lunch bento box with the pork belly and I gotta say, it's definitely worth the price. The bento box comes with a cup of soup, your choice of either "house" (purple) or white rice, two pieces of egg omelette, kimchi, pickled onions and jalapenos, and two pieces of fried chicken in addition to the pork belly that's on a bed of grilled onion and garlic cloves. It also comes with a side of lettuce and jalapenos and ssamjang (i think) which is a soybean paste. The variety of side dishes that comes with the main is definitely worth the $15 for the lunch bento box. Also the food is incredibly delicious. The pork belly is perfectly fatty, the chicken nuggets juicy and tender, egg omelette delicious as well, and the pickled onions and kimchi goes along really well with the pork belly. My SO got the Mackerel and he liked it a lot as well. The only difference being that he got fish instead of the pork belly and that it didn't come with a side of lettuce and jalapenos and ssamjang. It's also a dollar cheaper, $14 instead of $15. It takes a little bit of time for them to prepare your order so call 20-25 minutes ahead of when you're going to be there to pick it up. Highly recommend and I hope to visit after COVID-19! read more

Ordered from this restaurant for the first time through door dash. I didn't have any high expectations but the food was so good! I ordered the grilled pork belly bento box. The pork belly was beautifully grilled and thick. It was a good quality piece of meat. It also came with a side of lettuce and ssamjang sauce. Even the lettuce was good quality! In the bento box, it came with a side of eggs, 3 pieces of fried chicken, kimchi, and purple rice. For $15, I think it was pretty worth it and very filling! I would definitely order from here again :) read more

Industrial design decor, friendly waiter, quick service, food is good! Ribeye Steak is must have! So tender and not dry! Cooked PERFECT! Mackerel is nice and plump unlike some places where the fish is super flat! The pork belly was another fav at the table. The chicken is not your typical Japanese Karaage. It's a different batter it was ok I could do without but it's not bad. Reminded me more of regular nuggets served with honey mustard sauce. The "mini steamed egg" was REALLY MINI. Like a tea cup tiny! 3 spoonful only. Silk smooth goodness. Wasn't a big fan of the egg battered oysters and cod. But others at the tables liked it. The Okonomiyaki was ok the pieces I got didn't have much squid chunks in it. I started to question if I was only eating cabbage. But the other pieces did have more squid chunks. I would definitely come back and try something else! Total bill with tip came to $220. That's with a 20% tip. We did order 2 soda and 1 rice. read more

Tiny gem Korean restaurant. The server was incredibly welcoming and very hard working. There are less than 10 tables. We ordered the tako wasabi, octopus in wasabi sauce. This is a standard bar snack in Korea and yet this was a superb version, one of the best versions I have had. Next was a salad as service, or on the house. It was baby greens, tiny balls of fresh mozzarella, mango and avocado. It was perfectly balanced so it was as refreshing as it was unexpected. The mains were grilled mackerel and cod roe soup. Both were done in a lighter style than typical. Even the rice, purple from red bean, was exceptional. They have a short but well thought out beer and sake/soju list. One of the best Korean restaurants we have been to in 40 years of eating Korean. read more

I have to say I've been contemplating on walking into this restaurant several times but the outside was so uninviting- not well-lit and sketchy. I almost thought the high ratings were fibs. But the second you walk in, it's a different vibe. It feels like you're in one of them upscale hip joints in the city. They start you off with a salad and Japanese styled steamed egg. If you like seafood and Korean food, then this place is a must. We may have ordered one or two dishes too many but everything we got was good. We ordered potato corquette, spicy cod fish soup, rice with roe, grilled Bronzino, and pork belly. read more

Nice cozy little spot for some small plate eats. A new addition to the area that is already horrible for parking. If you're driving, plan ahead of time! I would recommend calling for reservations as well, since there is limited tables. I would not recommend large groups for this place. We ordered literally everything on the menu and the only one that stood out was the eel dish! (See photo). Plump and tasty. If you want a nice date spot or a spot to chat with a friend and catch up, I would recommend coming here. I do hope they add more things to the menu in the future. read more

I've always walked past this place and wanted to go in. I finally went in and I was so happy! I went for dinner with my boyfriend and I knew they give you a free house salad when you check in. Before I could even check in, the server brought out the free, fresh and delicious salad. It was soooo good and not just because it was complementary. They also gave us complementary steamed eggs with shrimp in the most adorable cups. It was so good we ate it in seconds. For starters, we ordered the sweet potato croquettes that was delicious and brought out fresh from the fryer. Would recommend! Next, I debated ordering the spicy cod soup or pork belly and ended up getting the pork belly. The pork belly was really gooood!! I loved it! Next time I will try their spicy cod soup. My boyfriend ordered the hot fish stone bowl. It was delicious but didn't realize it was spicy as there wasn't anything on the menu that indicated it was spicy. Only that was it "hot" but we thought that meant hot in temperature. Unfortunately, my bf can't take spicy so he couldn't really enjoy it that much but I did haha. Overall, this place is great and I am def. coming back again. read more

Walking into the somewhat-dimly lit restaurant, I immediately loved the vibes. My friend and I came in a bit earlier than their opening time but we were seated with hot tea and were able to look at the menu. (Tip: check in to get free house salad, $6). Salad: spinach salad with tomato, mango, and red onion, and a light vinaigrette. A very light and refreshing way to start your meal. Fish Hot Pot Fish Egg Rice ($16): It was served in a clay pot and everything was nicely sizzling inside. I didn't really get a good at it because I just told my friend to mix everything up (sorry I was hungry...) Nicely seasoned and had an interestingly good texture from the slight crunch of the fish eggs. Chilean Sea Bass ($23): S O G O O D. Breaking off a small piece, you know right away how fresh the fish was. It was nicely seared, seasoned, (I hate using this word, i'm sorry but it's the only word that comes to mind right now)....but...moist...I really hate dry fish and I gotta say they prepared it really well. The one thing that might make this EVEN better is if they gave a bit more. For $23, I honestly was expecting more. But for the quality and freshness of the fish, it's kinda worth it. Kinda. Side dishes: kimchi, lotus root, soup (they only gave us 1 bowl, and we had to split), fish thing wrapped in egg omelette (?)...I actually got hyped up reading reviews thinking I would get more side dishes, but this was all we got. Presentation of food: 10/10 Service: given that we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, the waitress was attentive and constantly refilled our tea. Overall, for the quality and freshness of their food, their price is somewhat reasonable. I would come to try their other dishes, but only order their seafood when I feel like splurging. read more

Neighborhood spot that I've been really wanting to try. Went here on a whim on a Friday night at around 7:30 PM. Small and intimate, jazzy Korean music playing in the background and just a few tables. Great service and servers but the food wasn't all that it was hyped up to be. Sashimi special: fresh fish, sweet and sour soy sauce with wasabi was delicious. Mushroom, beef nabe udon: bland and one note. Fish roe stonepot bibimbap: salty from the roe but was definitely missing a sauce of some sort. Kimchi bits didn't have a place there. All in all, it was what I expected but wanted the flavor to be a bit amped up for a fusion, modern spot. Not sure if I'll revisit but the servers were great, tentative and nice! read more

The first yelp order since quarantine- loved it. Compared to my usual life, I barely move around these days, and my day ends up just eating chips in bed. I was aware that Gupji went through some testing for delivery and finally started rolling back in business. Today was quite boring enough to be thrilled just by thinking of Gupji's sea bass my friend was talking about. I knew this place wouldn't disappoint me. I haven't had greens for a long time (short distance markets are all closed in my area) and as usual, the salad was fresh. Chilean sea bass - I've talked about this fish enough in my previous reviews; love love love the texture and flavor! Mini side dishes and rice were a nice mix with it, getting more close to becoming a satisfying meal. If you get bored with home cooked meals, try this place out! I made a super refreshing experience with this marvelous place again. read more

Great service and some interesting dishes. Food: Complimentary house salad with Yelp check-in. Really nice salad actually, especially for being free. Complimentary egg custard with a shrimp. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand it's nice to get a complimentary dish but on the other hand it didn't add too much. I prefer the egg based soup or other soups that come complimentary with Korean BBQ. Fruit or dessert is also nice when it's complimentary. It was fine though. Chilean sea bass. A bit pricey although somewhat makes sense for fish. It is probably more akin Manhattan prices. It is very good. The fish was soft and flavorful. The skin on the side is crispy. It is a bit of a heavy dish so if you aren't up for that you may want to share this dish and get an additional dish that is less heavy. I would have probably paired this dish with the house salad if I hadn't eaten the salad so fast. The ginger was a nice touch though. Pork belly was standard. Nothing bad and nothing mindblowing. Inside: on the outside the sign is dark with dark letters so somewhat easy to miss. The window is dark as well. Inside is somewhat small but there is seating and it wasn't packed. Service: very good. The servers were very helpful, letting me know which fish was the freshest and gave recommendations. The water was refilled quite frequently. read more

(not all food referenced here are in the pictures) Sweet potato croquette, house salad, Wasabi octopus, grilled Chilean bass pork belly, steak, fries & cheese sticks, and salmon fried rice. These are some of the things I've tried at this place. EVERYTHING here was so good that I went twice in two days. Everyone in the dinner groups loved everything. Some person in our group even mentioned wanting to kidnap the chef so they can learn the amazing flavors he uses. Ambiance is great. Intimate place. Small number of tables (like 7?), so best is to call ahead and make a reservation. Service is more than amazing. They are attentive and nice. Price range is decent too. If you don't have many to drink, you will be able to really enjoy all the flavors this Gupji places offers without going broke. Parking is hard to find but it's well worth the pain of parking. Definitely going back. read more

The food is good here. They have a simple menu but a few different seafood selection. I got the sashimi. The tuna was not that fresh can tell by the color and taste. The salmon is usually always the same every place I've been to. The hamachi is pretty good but it was still frozen so I had to wait awhile to eat it. The sweet potato croquette is good, it taste a bit like curry. The GUPJI ribeye steak was cooked well. I liked how the steak tasted a little bit like sausages. The house salad is on point. I really liked it and ordered two of them. Ambience is nice. Small place with mellow music. Good place for a date. I think I would come back here. I was expecting more from the sashimi. If it was more fresh and less frozen I would have given it a 4 star. read more

The outside of the restaurant doesn't look very appealing, but don't let that fool you. The inside is a gem. The staff were very friendly. They even served us salad on the house which was very fresh and in fact it's the best salad I've ever had. The fish roe rice was good, but I didn't like to mix the vegetables with the fish roe because they kind of took away the taste from the fish roe. The steam egg was on point. The fried fish was good. The fried chicken was ok. read more

Good atmosphere, employees were polite, and food was pretty satisfying. Came here multiple times and it was very consistent.

Cute and intimate little restaurant in the heart of flushing's mini ktown. It has a cozy and rustic feel, and even had a TV screen fire place display. For apps, I had the fried oysters which were small, but very tasty and fresh. Also had the sea bass and the pork belly. The sea bass portion was on the small side for the price, but flavors were good. Can't really go wrong with sea bass though. The pork belly was also good and went well with a big bowl of rice. Nice Korean comfort food. read more

We came in after watching the latest star wars moving in Fresh Meadows and wanted small dishes rather than big entrees. We got the wasabi octopus with seaweed, spicy tuna salad, and pan fried oysters. Before our orders came, we received complimentary egg custards. They were good but I still think Ootoya has the best. But being it is a free item, it's certainly not bad. The first dish that arrived was the spicy tuna salad. It was more tuna than salad and it's honestly not a bad thing. Along with the argula, there was thinly slices of apples and red onion. Halved cherry tomatoes added color to the salad. The spicy tuna itself wasn't too spicy but I suspect that we had to mix in the sirracha ourselves and we didn't do that. The next dish was the wasabi octopus and seaweed. This octopus mix may look bland but it packed so much invisible spiciness in there! The wasabi was present throughout. You have to assemble your own little bite -- a sheet of nori, some octopus pieces, and some cucumbers sticks. The wasabi spiciness is unique and addictive. I am not a spice fan and this dish was hands down spicy, but I find myself going back to it over and over again. When it got too spicy, I would eat the salad and the egg custard to balance it out. Even when we finished the nori and cucumbers, I was fishing for more of the little pieces of octopus from the dish. The pan fried oysters came out last. It also came with a dipping soy sauce of some sort. The oysters were uniformly the same size and relatively plump. It wasn't super special in my opinion but it didn't taste bad either. Maybe they can make it special by creating different dipping sauces. Lastly, service was solid and very courteous. However, their English is not the best so I relied on Yelp reviews and pictures to guide me on what I order. We also got seated literally right in front of the restroom. Thank God no one "really" needed to use it. Not the best seats in the house. Parking in the area was also hard to find on a Saturday night. So be prepared to drive around to look for parking if you're not taking public transportation. read more

The food here is delicious and well-presented. Here's what was ordered: Appetizers 1. Sweet Potato Croquette - Crispy outside and piping hot mashed sweet potato with bits of corn inside. The mash had a subtle curry taste, which I liked and enjoyed. 2. Fried Oysters - 10 pieces in an order. Was good and not too heavy. Mains 1. Fish Hot Pot Fish Egg Rice - Like some reviewers said, it's like a bibimbap but with assorted fish eggs. The small fish eggs create a nice texture to the rice. The rice is presented in a hot stone pot and I especially love the crispy rice that is left at the bottom of the pot. 2. Chilean Sea Bass - Recommended by the server. The fish is naturally sweet and soft. The sauce is not overwhelming. The dish is probably measured by weight so we had a big and a small slice. 3. Pork Belly - Missing a hint of salt, but big portion. Comes with a pile of scallion on the side and some sauce. Drink 1. Strawberry Nigori - Strawberry flavored rice wine was nice. On the House (so nice) 1. House Salad - May change depending on when you go, but we got an arugula salad with mango and avocado. It was delicious. 2. Cup of Steamed Egg for Everyone - Really cute and tasty. We got a piece of shrimp on top, and it was steamed so well that you could taste the shrimp flavor in the egg. This restaurant relies on the natural flavors of the ingredients it uses, which I respect and enjoyed a lot. However the pork belly we ate needed some more flavor. Everything else was AMAZING from presentation to taste. Service was impeccable. The server was very professional and made sure to check up on us from time to time. I recommend this place for an exquisite but modest dining experience. read more

Even tho I ordered from this place multiple times, I never gotten the pleasure to dine in here. So, it is still on my place to go list in flushing. I usually order the Pork Belly Bento from here as it is the perfect sizing for one person when you want to enjoy pork belly without going to a restaurant, especially on a busy day where you just want to treat yourself to a nice dinner at home. I appreciate how the bento has a good variety where it comes with perfectly cooked pork belly with grilled onions and garlic, rice and sides like kimchi, pickled onions, Korean egg roll, and fried chicken. It also comes with the lettuce that they trim for easy eating and pepper as well as a small serving of miso soup. Sometimes, it comes with a little serving of refreshing tomato and cucumber salad. One time in the summer, I've gotten watermelon as service in which I appreciated as it s a nice surprise. So, knowing how great their service is with even delivery food, I cannot wait to a plan an outing here to try out the food in person. Will be here soon :) read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. While their menu isn't super deep, they do a fantastic job with the dishes that they offer. This place is known for their seafood and I really enjoyed their cod soup/stew. The flavor is light but they did a fantastic job of letting the freshness of the cod really shine with their minimalist approach. Even though fish is their thing, they also did a fantastic job with their spicy pork short rib. It was perfectly cooked and had a great crispy yet tender texture that really melted in your mouth. The spicy sauce they use is also really addictive and is a nice contrast to some of the lighter seafood offerings. They also serve a variety of good appetizers such as their oysters and even their french fry basket was very tasty. Even though this place may seem unassuming, the food is solid and the environment is very cozy. I wish this place was a tad bigger but honestly that's a minor gripe. If you want a mix of solid Korean food, good service and pleasant ambiance, this is a a great place to check out. read more
