We were craving some Korean comfort food, and came across Arirang. Ordered seafood noodles ($18.99)…read more(kalguksu) and seafood pancake ($19.99). I was told that the noodles are homemade, and the texture was chewy but not overly soft. If you get the order to-go, you best eat it ASAP because they do not separate the noodles from the broth. The bowl was filled with a bunch of clams, mussels, one shrimp, zucchini and carrot slices, and potatoes. The clams were flavorless and a little sandy, but the mussels were good. The broth was clear and flavorful, but not overly salty. The seafood pancake was good. Portion size is big, batter very crispy, it's oily but it doesn't feel that way when you eat it. Only con is I wish there was a little more seafood. You are given banchan of freshly fermented kimchi and radish kimchi. I prefer fermented pungent kimchi because I enjoy the sour taste, and though the radish kimchi was really chunky it was on the sweet side, so I wasn't a fan. The staff speaks Korean and Chinese.

It's perfectly crisp and tangy, and pairs so well with the noodles. I always order the chicken knife-cut noodles, they're comforting, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot, especially on a cold day. My daughter tried the kimchi seafood noodles, and that was a total win too. I've been coming here for years, and it's been consistently good every single time. A true comfort spot

When you enter, there are a few tables available but you may need to wait during busy hours. The restaurant gives a casual and simple vibe. My go to order is the Donkatsu and Spicy Carbonara. The Donkatsu comes out extra crispy with a side of sauce. The Spicy Carbonara has a subtle kick to it. These dishes have always been consistent whenever I ordered them. They are also very generous with their portions. Staff members are friendly and always asked if I needed anything. I've also ordered these to items as to-go and I would recommend eating at the restaurant. If you do get the Donkatsu, you can always pop it in the air fryer.

Came for family dinner on a Saturday evening & the restaurant was about 50% full. There aren't too…read moremany tables and it's very no frills inside. We decided on 3 kimchi stews, thinking these would be more individually portioned but we were so wrong. Each order is massive & could easily serve 2. It's really worth it considering the price, but I thought the stew was kind of mediocre. Having read through other reviews, I had high hopes but was quite disappointed by how the stew lacked depth. The kimchi sourness was kinda there, but despite the large amount of pork & kimchi, there was no real taste to the broth. I did enjoy the tonkatsu here - it was really crispy & the order was massive. The carbonara is a little too heavy for my liking, but tasty for a small bite here and there. Also funny enough, with the restaurant name, I thought we would get cabbage kimchi as a banchan! Service could've been better. While not exactly rude, the guy who was serving us just looked like he was totally over it for the day.

I was under the wrong impression that they, along with many other late night spots, had either shortened their hours or simply closed during the pandemic. Being wrong has never felt so great. This place is one of those IYKYK (#1) establishments in that there is no proper storefront, but is located inside of the Hangyang Supermarket (#2) along Northern Blvd. The in-store entrance has the words "HY Food court Snack Corner" which is confusing for first timers but adds a well deserved hidden gem status that it's proud to flaunt. The interior looks somewhat updated, with less dingy tables to group seating and more decor on top of it. The kitchen is constantly active, with dishes constantly being churned out and what I imagine is an endless list of delivery order requests. There is nothing that stands out about food for me, but it's good enough in a pinch. Their kimchi steamed mandoo dumpling was very excent while the other regular panfried mandoo was a tinge mediocre. Their soondubu, japchae, kimbap, and tteokbokki were very mild and average in comparison to what's out there. This is also the location for 92 Chicken, a KFC joint that prepares the food in the very same kitchen. Service isn't the warmest, but they do speak Korean and Mandarin with a limited amount of English. Parking is in a dedicated lot and there is a 3% fee for all credit card purchases. Just as the NYC rule always applies: When in doubt, bring cash. __________ (#1) If you know you know, boomer. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/hanyang-super-market-flushing-2

My Korean friends took me here and said that it was the only pork BBQ specialist in all of Flushing at the time. When I walked in, I realized exactly what they meant because they had no menu and only pork belly as your choice of meat. The other noticeable difference was their large dome shaped cast iron griddle on the middle of each table, which is more common today, but was the first place I had ever seen one. I knew immediately that I was in for a brand new experience and I was excited. Over the years, I have continued to come here for my porky cravings, and introduced this place to many family and friends. The restaurant has experimented with many more items and now has a menu full of other meats for the grill, but honestly, stick to the pork items is still your best bet. Btw, prices are still lower than their competitors like always. Yesterday, we went for Father's Day and the family couldn't have asked for a better experience. The service is as good as ever from start to finish, like always. Attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress made sure to always keep our grill stocked with kimchi, garlic, and bean sprouts, which catches the drippings from all the porky goodness in the center part of the inverted circular griddle. I can't express enough how wonderful the service has always been at this establishment. For this day, we had the black pork belly and shoulder, as well as premium pork neck and skin. Maybe the texture of pork skin is not for everyone, but you really can't go wrong with the other three. My favorite today was the belly, but other people preferred the shoulder and neck. Golden brown and crispy outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Dip the meats in one of the three sauces. Then eat it with a lettuce wrap, adding whatever veggies combination you see on the grill and table. One important note, do not leave here without having the Fried Rice at the end of your meal. They take whatever is left on the griddle, add more if necessary, cut it up to smaller pieces, then toss in marinated rice with lettuce and seaweed, based on how many portions you request. You can also add items like egg and Spam if so desired. Btw, each portion is about a small bowl meant for one person. At this point of the meal, you likely won't need that much, so I advise one bowl per two people. Then again, you can ask for more and take home what you don't finish. Just remember to allow the Fried Rice to cook long enough on the griddle that the bottom forms a crispy and crunchy crust. Anyway, if you like pork and looking for a uniquely wonderful experience, then make sure you find this hidden gem that has been making their customers happy for over 20 years now.

We were a bit confused by their signage but the waiter was super patient and explained how their DIY dukbokki worked. We ordered the combo with the fish roe and cheese rice afterwards, along with a small order of boneless fried chicken. The dukbokki came out with a small hot pot burner and we were advised to eat the ramen noodles first. The rice cake and vegetables cooked down and was a good amount of spice for "regular". The fried chicken was crispy and sweet. Halfway into the meal, we realized we couldn't finish the rice cake and asked the waiter how we could proceed to the next phase for the rice. He measured out a bowl of sauce from the rice cake and added the sauce, rice, cheese, seaweed and fish roe into the pot to cook. The rice was so flavorful with umami and very cheesy. Most of it had to be packed to go but I was very satisfied. The DIY combo was a bit pricey but definitely worth the experience.

Their meals also come with banchan which is always a plus cause I usually wouldn't expect much from a fast casual spot.
