What an interesting fusion of 2 of my favorite cuisines: Japanese & Korean! I really enjoyed the food here, and not to mention the service was great as well. They were very attentive, and interested to know what we thought of in terms of their food. We had ordered: - Seafood platter from the today's special: The seafood was very fresh and I really enjoyed the sauce as well. - Freshwater eel: I thought it was very good and it also came with rice and soup, which they offer free refills. They also provided complementary: -Congee: tasty! -Salad: sauce was really good as well! Ambience was amazing, and it definitely felt more like a city restaurant than the typical ones you see in Flushing. It's very cozy. Will come back again!! read more

Came here with my sister after being out and about in Flushing with friends. It was a quiet night and there was only us and another group of friends dining at the restaurant. The space is small, but does give that kind of intimate vibe. Their specialty was their grilled seafood and my sis and I were intrigued to try some. We ordered fried oysters to start, grilled sea bass and the fish egg hot pot. The meal started with a fresh apple, greens, grape tomato salad with a sweet dressing and miso soup. The meal also came with a complementary congee and potato pancakes. The sea bass was grilled to perfection being crispy and moist at the same time. The oysters were a delight with a sweet and salty flavor. The fish egg hot pot was delicious as the combination of the three different fish eggs, rice and seasoning was a flavorful bite. The staff was very nice and very attentive to make sure our cup of tea was full and our tummies were happy with the meal. We will definitely go back again one day. read more

Korean food that will surprise you。Petty bourgeoisie sentiment。Everything is really delicious

Gupji is maybe a 20 minute walk from Main St. Flushing so it's pretty close to there if you want some exercise, but going back I would drive. This place has a lot going for it. Tasty food, a laid back atmosphere and NOT too overcrowded, and reasonable prices. My wife and I had the pork belly, fried shrimp with sweet potato and some oysters as a side-dish. They served us complimentary house salad after I checked in on yelp and they also gave us steamed egg in a tiny bowl (that was good too, and free). I'll add some pictures but I do want to point out something my wife noticed: the two chefs in the back were doing every order on their own. Maybe there were three or four other tables with guests and the two kitchen staff were cooking and plating food non-stop, and I'm sure all the dishes were great (because ours were). I have no experience with the restaurant industry but I think that's pretty rare to see, and you can see it yourself too, it's an open kitchen. After going there I can see why it has an average 4.5 star rating, it's a great hole in the wall. Also, they said they don't have a dessert menu, we asked. But I see some other people bragging in their reviews about getting a pumpkin / squash dessert. Maybe you just have to be super cool or catch them at a certain time. read more

Surprisingly good for local foods!!! Great to see small restaurant with great quality foods. Recommended their guppies starter, steak, grilled fishes, spicy belly pork and kimchi sal rice read more

Wow. Gupji is the hidden gem way out in Murray Hill. It's such a cute space feeling a bit more upscale than other places nearby but not stuffy. Super friendly waitstaff and incredible food to boot. It's the kind of place where it is clear that great care went into everything that came out of the kitchen. Even the complementary salad was carefully arranged on the plate. We had the Tako Wasabi, sautéed oysters, spicy pork belly and grilled Mackerel. Everything was a revelation. I still can't get over how good our meal was and at a price point very competitive with any other Korean spot I've been too. Maybe even a bit cheaper. Dolllar for dollar we declared this our finest meal of the year. This is a must try. read more

I have played biggest loser against my best friend and had to buy a dinner for losing the bet here at Gupji. We had a fantastic Korean grilled fish at Gupji over the past weekend. Never knew such a hidden gem would be in the good ole' neighborhood of Flushing. Samgyupsal was served masterfully and freshly grilled from the kitchen and deliciously grilled Eel was served in Japanese izakaya styled marinated in sweet & salty(soy?) sauce which I really enjoyed. Also, deliciously grilled Brazino was served with wire thinly sliced pimento sprinkled on the top. I really liked the simple and neat visual of the dish. The bistro also serves Kwak beer, which ironically bears the same name as owner of the bistro Mr. Kwak himself. Lol~. I highly recommend this place if you have tried Korean traditional meal 'HanJungSik' and liked! read more

It was one of those hot summer nights where cooking for yourself was just not an option, so I started where I always do, with my handy dandy yelp app (insert heart emoji). I walked here from Main Street which was a little bit of a trek but totally doable and oh so worth it. This place is so unassuming on the outside but as soon as we walked in I knew that I was in the right place. Before we even started our meal they were generous enough to bring us out a complimentary salad as well as an egg custard dish. The custard had just the most luxurious consistency to it and was so light and airy. The salad was also no slacker, and was much appreciated because it was cold, refreshing and well dressed in a home made vinegary dressing. We ordered the sweet potato croquettes and they were just delicious. Perfectly fried, hot, and crispy on the outside but smooth mashed potato filling on the inside. They had a nice tangy sauce spooned over the top which added a nice contrast to the richness of the potato. Another appetizer we got was the soft shell crab. I'm a sucker for soft shell crab the minute I see it on a menu I just black out. It was tempura battered and fried to perfection. It was so crunchy but you could still taste the tenderness of the crab meat inside. The crab had a spicy sauce on it that also acted as a dressing for the salad underneath it. Honestly, this could have been some normal persons entree but we are beasts so we demolished it. For the entrees we got the grilled pork belly and our waitress recommended the salmon so we got the salmon because, duh listen to your server. Wow. The salmon was just perfect (I know it seems like a general word to use but you eat it and than let's talk). It was grilled but somehow still had a perfectly crunchy skin to it and this wonderful smokiness to it while still maintaining the delicate flavor of salmon. The kind of bite that if you just left it in your mouth it would just melt. The sauce on it was sweet with out being sickly and just had a great balance. It was served with nothing but a wedge of lemon and some ginger. TBH, I didn't end up eating the ginger because I didn't want cleanse my palate of all that flavor. The pork belly comes out on an insanely hot plate that had scallions and onions on the bottom to catch all the pork belly meat juice which is just brilliant. The pork is grilled and has those yummy burnt grill bites to it and is just the right amount of chew with out being fatty. A bite of pork belly followed by the crispy slightly warmed onion mix was really just the perfect bite. It was a massive serving and we definitely stayed longer to make sure we ate every last piece because momma didn't raise no dummy and also cause I was eating dinner with her. Last but certainly not least, our server was incredible. From the minute we walked in until the minute we left she was so bubbly, friendly, and attentive. Her recommendations were on point, and she made our experience go from a 10 to a 100 (especially when she stepped outside of the very busy restaurant to wave us good bye). I wish I got her name but I will definitely be back and make a point to learn it and to also order the other half of the menu. read more

Wish I can give more stars ! The owner uses really fresh ingredients. I love their kimchi tofu soup, it's not watered down at all the way most restaurants make it. Highly recommend. read more

Seafood with a modern twist. Came with a group of 4 on a Thursday night, we were seated immediately and served free appetizers that included their house salad and steamed egg custard. Loved the dressing on the salad but I was more blown away by their steamed egg custard with shrimp aka chawanmushi. It was silky and smooth in texture, delicious and free! Both appetizers were a great start to our meal that included: - Sweet Potato Croquette ($6): Deep fried mashed sweet potatoes with a mayo-based sauce and takoyaki sauce drizzled on top. Comes with 4 pieces. They're covered in the perfect amount of breadcrumbs, not super oily and has a crunchy exterior with a generous amount of mashed sweet potato filling. Would order again. - Deep Fried Potato, Hash Brown, Cheese Stick ($8): Our plate came with 2 cheese sticks, a handful of tater tots and fries all sprinkled with dried bonito flakes on top and a drizzle of white mayo based sauce. They also bring you a side of ketchup. Tbh, I think it's really hard to mess up fries and I never had anything that wasn't good after being deep fried. Also, as a lover of anything-potatoes I can eat two bowls of this nooo problemo. - Chilean Sea Bass ($25): Not dry, perfectly moist, soft and nicely seasoned and grilled with their chef's soy sauce. The portion for one plate might be too small for a group of 4, it's a better portion to split amongst 2 people. Drizzle a bit of lemon on top and dig in. The meat just falls off and you can tell the quality is up there butttt as good at it was, it wasn't mind-blowing. As in, the the price is a bit steep. Might contemplate on getting this again next time if anything. - Hot Pot Fish Egg Rice ($16): Basically a bibimbap with different types of fish roe and vegetables served in a stone pot. You can scrape up the crunchy, nutty burnt rice on the bottom (nurungji) after you're done. It doesn't come with a sauce but the whole point is to really get all the flavors of the fish roes. Some might think it's a bit salty but this was pretty on point for me. - Sashimi ($24): Comes with thin slices/cubes of salmon, hamachi and fluke sashimi. Some pieces were still thawing as if they weren't completely defrosted when they were served and the overall portion was okkk. I kinda expected more from this, just cause I loveeee sashimi but was a bit disappointed that some pieces were ice cold in my mouth. Overall, I like how they have a simple menu. It just means that I'd expect a bullseye for each dishes listed on there, which wasn't the case. But, I did enjoy most of then including the sweet potato croquette, fries and the hot pot fish egg rice. Guess I'll just have to go back to try some of their other items on the menu. This is a great date spot or to eat a nice simple, clean meal with your friends. We left feeling happy-full, not the I'm-going-get-food-coma kinda full. Also, I wouldn't bring more than 4 people, just because of limited space and seating inside. Parking can also be a hassle if you're here during the peak hours since there are so many other restaurants around this area. Service is ok, the servers aren't super talkative or anything--hey take your orders, bring them out and let you be. I like that since it always rubs me off the wrong way when servers take your plates away and immediately assumes that you want the check afterwards. You feel rushed to leave that way, which is a pet peeve of mine. Anyways, will definitely poke my head in again when I'm in the mood to #treatmaself with some seafood the next time I'm around the area. read more

Very good quality and great service. Got their poke and fries and tots along with the cabbage bacon pancake, all were so good. Will definitely be going back again. Thanks for the good food read more

Excellent atmosphere, food and drinks selection. This place is great no matter what the occasion. Everything tastes fresh and are prepared perfectly. In an area with an overwhelming amount of Kbbq choices, this place is an excellent alternative. Also, a really cozy date spot read more

A big fan of GUPJI! My boyfriend and I came around 5:30pm for dinner on a Wednesday night. The restaurant wasn't very full, so we were able to get a table easily. We ordered the fish cake udon, spicy tuna salad, and hot pot fish roe rice. The udon and the tuna salad were pretty standard, but the hot pot fish roe rice was amazing! It's similar to a bibimbap - it comes with three or four different types of fish roe, some vegetables, and some sauce in a sizzling stone bowl. You mix it all together and eat! It was delicious; the seafood flavor was great and it wasn't too salty or bland. The best part about the meal was that it came with tons of free appetizers - we checked in and got a free house salad. Then the waitress brought us both a free chawanmushi (steamed egg custard with shrimp), free refillable kimchi and radishes, and then two free miso soups. The bill came out to be about $40 before tax and tip. Depending on your budget it might be spendy for dinner for two, but with all the free appetizers it felt like it was worth it. Will definitely come back and would definitely recommend. read more

I haven't been back around this area for a while... so many new places opened up! This seemed like a cute place for a date if you're looking for somewhere nice and cozy. The food was not that impressive though. They didn't have that many options to choose from on the menu. We got a free salad and steamed egg that were complimentary to start the meal. I tried the cheese stick and potato wedges, some fried oysters (which I don't recommend getting.. it didn't taste that fresh). I also ordered a rice dish, mackerel, and pork belly to share. The portion's kind of small and the dishes are a bit pricey compared to other places in Flushing. Pork belly is fine, but if you're getting that I'd recommend going to a real BBQ place instead. There are so many other restaurants nearby that will fill you up. I think this was a pretty unique restaurant in the area but out of all the options around here, this wouldn't be a place I'd come back to. read more

This Korean fusion restaurant is a gem in the middle of Flushing/Murray Hill area. It is a small place with four tables for four, two tables for two, and some seating facing the window and the kitchen. The staff (her name is Autumn) is very friendly and helpful providing excellent and quick service. Menu is fusion with varieties of seafood, soups, pork belly, and other great offerings. Drinks selection is one of the most extensive I've seen. The house salad was refreshing. Egg custard melted in my mouth. Croquettes crispy in the outside and soft in the inside. Pork belly is Very tasty but the spicy cod soup was too spicy. Overall, the food is delicious. Be mindful that Gupji opens at 5:30pm and is closed on Mondays. read more

I'm going to keep ordering from this place from now on. Food cooked healthy and great for both myself and my parents. read more

I hate seafood and Gupji is a Korean seafood restaurant but I didn't hate Gupji at all. In fact my first impression of Gupji has been positive for all the following reasons: 1. They offer non-seafood entrees for people like me! c: the sizzling pork belly was really good with the side of sauce (not sure what it's called but its the same thicc red sauce you get when you get kbbq), bed lightly caramelized onions, and shredded scallion (?? Not 100000% sure cause I dont know my veggies super well) 2. Salads are light and refreshing and the sweet potato croquet is soooo good 3. Water has ice (always nice when you come in during the super hot summer) and they offer you hot tea in case you'd like 4. Servers are super nice and one of them did a meme dance my the kitchen when he thought no one was looking haha read more

I love it here! Its small and cozy and the food is great and easy to share! Also the bathroom is very clean.

Saw some great reviews so I have to come give this place a try. It's a small restaurant with good looking decor, very woody and uses pipes for the electrical cables which look cool. Most complicated menu to read in my opinion. Nothing is really categorized.. it's just listed one after another and that was very confusing because there was fish and rice and meat all listed together. I had ordered the poke belly with sea salt and my girlfriend ordered the fish with fish eggs fried rice and we had some assorted fries to start. The pork-belly came out sizzling hot and it was very flavorful and delicious. Overall the food was pretty good, the waitress that helped was very nice and food came out in an orderly manner. Probably a place I would come back to and eat in again. read more

I found this place after searching for dinner places via yelp and I am so glad I found this little gem. Inside is small, probably sit about 20people and it's Japanese Korean fusion inspired food. And let me tell you helpers I am sitting here eating and I love the food. It really is that good. OMG... I a definitely coming back. Plus the service was A+. My two besties whom dine with me also agrees the food is delicious. Also they gave so many freebie and side dishes, soup, salad... just see the photos. I recommend all the food that we ordered especially the hotpot of fish and fish egg rice. Delicious. The eel is A+ too it melts in your mouth. Best fusion restaurant by far that I went to.

Found this place on Yelp while looking for a late night place to eat. It's a nice little gem. Food and service were excellent. The free house salad when check in with Yelp was not the normal lettuce and tomato ones, this had arugula, beet, avocado, mango and others. The complimentary steam egg was super smooth. Ordered potato croquettes, grilled pork belly and pan fried cod fillets, they were all very tasty. Definitely coming back whenever I am around. read more
