Jang Dok Dae - A Hidden Gem with a Seoulful Touch Tucked unassumingly into a quiet stretch of town, Jang Dok Dae is the kind of mom-and-pop Korean restaurant that makes you believe in culinary serendipity again. Step inside, and you're immediately greeted not by fanfare or trend-chasing décor, but by something far rarer--warmth, authenticity, and a quiet confidence that the food will speak for itself. And speak it does, in bold, layered, and harmonious flavors. The meal begins humbly with a pot of rice tea--nutty, toasty, and comforting, its aroma filling the air like a gentle overture to the feast ahead. What follows is a masterclass in balance and craftsmanship: a tomato salad that's deceptively simple yet bright and refreshing, each slice glistening with light dressing and a whisper of sesame. The kimchi pancake crackles at the edges, its spicy tang tamed by a satisfying crispness that makes each bite addictive. Then come the stars--stuffed rice cakes, chewy and delicate, filled with a richness that anchors the meal in Korean tradition; beef bulgogi, tender ribbons of marinated meat that shimmer with soy, garlic, and just the right kiss of sweetness; and finally, grilled pork belly, smoky and succulent, the kind of dish that demands silence around the table as everyone savors the moment. For a modest mom-and-pop operation, the presentation is astonishing--each plate arranged with care, colors dancing across the table like an artist's palette. But it's the sincerity of the cooking that truly elevates Jang Dok Dae. You can taste the pride, the patience, and the lineage behind every dish. And the service? Warm, attentive, and genuinely kind--never rushed, never perfunctory. It's the sort of hospitality that turns a meal into a memory. In a city obsessed with the next big thing, Jang Dok Dae is a reminder that greatness often resides in the unassuming--where tradition meets heart, and every bite tells a story worth listening to. -- A triumph of flavor, craft, and soul.
The scallion pancake with seafood is to die for! My husband and I order it every time we come here. There's a generous portion of seafood and it's fried to perfection! I also highly recommend the gingseng stuffed chicken soup. All the dishes here taste freshly cooked and made with love. The menu isn't huge and the side dishes are small and don't have much variety, but the food is delicious! Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area.
Wonderful mom and pop restaurant in bayside queens. The lady was definitely overwhelmed with all the customers, but we were very satisfied. All the food was fantastic including the free sides and salad. The only dish that surprised me was the dry aged short ribs, definitely something to get used to.
One of the best mom and pop Korean shops I've been to. Every dish we ordered was delicious from their fresh and tasty bon chon to the seafood pancake, gal I, and kimchi stew! They were all delicious!! Can't wait to come back and try the food. I would say that there is only one server and cook in the kitchen so it does take some time for the food to be made and served but motherless, all delicious!! Can't wait to come back.
Very prettily decorated with murals and plants. Has a homely feel to it. Service was quick and friendly. They serve fresh banchan: a tomato salad, spicy fish cakes, cabbage and daikon kimchi, and spicy eggplants They also serve a cold tea. I'm not sure what kind of tea it was, but it reminded of fruit loops for some reason. Maybe the slight sweetness with the earthy taste. Very good, but interesting for my taste buds. I was craving crab, so I got the Ganjanggejang (raw marinated crab), which comes with 2 crabs and rice. The crabs were in season, so they had lots of roe! They were well marinated, which was delicious when mixed with the rice. Got a glove to hold the crab while I scooped out its innards. Great Korean spot for homemade dishes!
Update: Takeout lunch the following day. Got the bulgogi! Same friendly reception, and food was delicious!
Came here for late lunch on a Sunday and everything is delicious. It's fun supporting mom and pop shops! We had the - Spanish Mackerel and it was very tasty with no hint of fishiness Kimchi Chigae with pork rib. The soup was super savory, rich, and sour from the kimchi. The pork ribs were a little bit dry though Bulgolgi was exactly what it should be and the added vegetables added some lightness to the dish. It is a very big portion too.
Korean Food For All! I have always craved Korean food but had difficulties placing orders due to the language barrier. From the moment you walk in, I knew this was a different kind of place. Even on the gloomy day I walked in, the cheery ambiance brightened my mood. The menu was handwritten in plain English - the handwriting alone should be a font! Everything explained in plain old English with elaboration by your server if needed. Perhaps now is a good time to mention how good the food is?!? Food came out blazing hot and plentiful and quite yummy. If you are afraid of spicy, not to worry - they will spice by request. The food is catered to the Carnivore or Vegan in your life... Although there is only street parking, it is relatively easy to find and definitely worth your time! Perhaps now is a good time to try some very good Korean fare!!
HIDDEN GEM HOLE IN THE WALL MOM AND POP SHOP I've been coming here frequently for the last year and it is my absolutely #1 favorite place to get lunch or dinner. :) All the dishes here are so fresh, clean, and DELICIOUS. You CANNOT come here WITHOUT trying the chive seafood pancake! Absolutely the BEST SEAFOOD PANCAKE YOU WILL EVER TRY. It is soo crispy and packed with seafood. I honestly can't eat seafood pancakes at other restaurants anymore because no other place can compare or top this one ..... Other than that I usually get their kimchi jjigae, aged pork belly, aged short rib, and their fishes (but I've also tried multiple other dishes depending what I'm feeling, these are usually just my go to.) PLEASE BE PATIENT when coming here because the owners are the only ones running this place. The owners are working very hard to cook, clean, and serve everyone. If you are in a rush, please do not come during peak hours. (But definitely come back when you aren't in a rush or come earlier in the day). Please keep in mind they are also usually closed from 4-5pm for a lunch break (again the owners are the only ones running this place, they need a break and to eat too!) They serve different salads/side dishes/fruits from time to time so you may not be getting the same thing every time. Their menu sometimes changes throughout the year as well. Bring cash if you can, there's a 5% cash discount. FUN FACTS: When you go in, you'll notice the artwork and decorations right away. Everything was handmade and designed by the owner themselves and all the lovely artwork was also painted by the owner The tea they serve you is also different everyday and is also made by the owner themselves!
Terrible meal, and completely unjustified for the price we paid. We originally came for the raw crab, but they were out due to the off-season, which is understandable. However, things went downhill from there. We asked for the aged LA galbi, but they didn't have that either, so we settled for the regular LA galbi and galbitang. For $33, the galbi was thick-cut but extremely chewy, tough, and lacking flavor. The portion size was also surprisingly small. The galbitang was even more disappointing. It came with just three small pieces of beef rib, one tiny piece of radish, one tiny piece of carrot, and one tiny piece of potato, and about a spoonful of glass noodles, and the broth had virtually no depth or flavor. While the beef was technically tender, it felt overcooked and dry rather than moist and satisfying, typical of galbitang. To make matters worse, when we asked for sesame oil with salt, the server reacted as if we were asking for something blasphemous and said, "no good." Unfortunately, she was correct it was not good. I wouldn't be requesting it to begin with otherwise. Overall, a very disappointing experience. We won't be returning.
The starter tomato salad was fresh but seemed odd to have in a Korean meal. The banchans flavors were meh--there was kimchi, fish cake, and beansprouts. Everything came piping hot. The seafood pancake was very good - super crispy and came with a large heaping of seafood pieces. I ordered a beef kalguksu (which is pretty much a beef noodle soup), and the soup flavor was good with a few pieces of meat. But all in all, it was very basic, nothing to blow my mind. There was a tad too much onions and scallions. I think they accidentally charged me for the beef short rib noodle soup instead of the beef noodle soup which was a $5 difference. If you pay with cash there's a discount, if you pay with card, there's a 2% fee on top.
Came in for early dinner, i was told this place can get busy. My daughter had been here for lunch service a couple of months ago and she mentioned the food is very good. Tonight we order a scallion oancaje with shrimp and shredded pork with vegetables platter. It was only the 2 of us, would have liked more food to try the rest of menu but that will be for the next time. The pancake had very good size shrimps, very tasty, nice crunchy edges. The shredded pork platter was served in a sizzling cast iron platter. Very tasty pork, well seasoned, nice mix of purple onions, eggplant, zucchini, carrots, soya beans and a slightly spicy-sweet sauce. Both were good size servings. I love the decorations around the room, from the outside you really cannot figure out what ti expect. Suddenly you step inside and its a very stylish, home like environment with lots of hand made paintings and artifacts on the walls. I feel like i am visiting an artist or a painter from all the paintings and murals built into the walls. Extremely clean tables and the one lady serving us tonight was very sweet, attentive and courteous. Will definitely come back with more family to taste the rest of the menu. You get a discount if you oay cash, otherwise you can use your CC and pay the credit card fee.
First review of 2024!! Went for dinner on a Friday around 7pm and it started off not so crowded but then all the tables filled after we came. It is a true mom and pop restaurant. Mom was the waitress and pop was chef in the kitchen. If I'm remembering correctly there are 7 tables that can seat max 20 people and I feel like that's a lot for just a mom and pop working themselves. Hence service was a little slow, but bf and I weren't on a time crunch. We could tell the waitress was a bit stressed. But she was still so nice and friendly. The restaurant is decorated very cute and since the new year just started, all the lights and garland from Christmas were still up. Feels homey. On to the food!! Bf and I ordered samgyetang, bulgogi stir fry with noodles, and the soy sauce marinated raw crab. Overall, it's seasoned on the low salt side which bf and I didn't mind because that's how we cook at home too. Everything tasted healthy and fresh. Banchan were a bit limited here but given it's a smaller restaurant, understandable. I wish the crab claws were cut a little more because they were a bit hard to get the meat out. But it tasted really good especially with the rice. They need prob one more waitress and one helper in the kitchen to speed things up a bit. I probably wouldn't recommend if you're on a time crunch but def a good place to have homey authentic Korean food in a relaxed environment. Thank you for the nice meal!!

Delicious. And honestly I dont understand the hype around cooking your own meat at a kbbq. I prefer not having to do the cooking myself. The Kalbi cuts were thick and not covered in sauce so the meat taste can speak for itself. The aged pork belly had a well balance of lean and fat. The seafood pancake was filled with protein and the carbs portion was also extremely crispy. The appetizers were on point and you can get free refills. Planning our next meal here. read more

Came half hour after opening. No reservations, we were the only party of 5. Menu was overwhelming to read, don't size and pictures floated all around. We were informed that no sugar or MSG will be used so the taste will be different than other Korean meals. The raw crabs although marinated had little meat or goo in them. The pork belly was flavorful, with hints of smoked Chinese preserved sausage. Kalbi was ok, a bit tough to pull off from bone. Not pictured squid pancake - was best items. Nice toasty crunch. read more
This cute little restaurant feels like both homemade and elevated Korean food at the same time. Adorably decorated cafe, with food that was clearly crafted with love. We were especially impressed with the seafood pancake which used actual whole pieces of seafood, minimal dough, and perfect amount of crisp. The banchan options were simple, but there was a fresh tomato salad that was different from other Korean spots out there. I did feel like my LA Galbi lacked some flavor or could have been marinated better but the cook on it was perfect. I appreciated the little perfectly grilled veggies that came with it too. All in all, we were happy with the meal and felt like we were supporting a local mom and pop restaurant with a lot of soul and love. Will definitely be coming back. read more

The night before we just finished watching the Korean series "Squid game" on Netflix. They were eating Ttukbokki in one of the earlier scenes and made us crave some too. We came across this place and loved the pics and 5 star reviews. The food here is truly AMAZING! We love the ambiance, stellar service and home cooked feel and taste. Love the assortment of banchans, pleasing to the eyes and stomach. We ordered the Ttukbokki, spicy mushroom stew with pork and braised beef rib with rice. Love the Ttukbokki, the sweet and peppery sauce was so tasty and the rice cakes were chewy and melt in your mouth delicious. You can add extras to your Ttukbokki but we only added dried tofu as it came with fish cakes and hard boiled eggs. The spicy mushroom stew set our taste buds on fire, but in a good way and we opted for the purple rice. My braised beef rib was the highlight of the night, off the bone tender and oh so delicious. The dish included boiled potato wedges, carrots and glass noodles served with white rice. There is a great selection of other stews, rice dishes served with fried pork and chicken cutlets and seafood and chive pancakes. Great food and service, that pretty much sums it up! read more
Been here twice and loved it both times! It's one of my new fave Korean places and the food tastes like it's cooked with love. Granted it takes a while to come out but the taste definitely makes up for it! I've tried a bunch of their dishes and my faves are the seafood pancake and seafood tofu soup! Prices might look a bit higher but for the huge portions it's totally fair. On Yelp it says they're closed after 4 on the weekends but their menu says otherwise. I think they reopen after 5 on weekends as well. read more
OMGGGG HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS HIDDEN GEM TILL NOW??? I literally drove by this place like a million times and have yet to set foot into this till now. I gotta be honest, when my friend told me about this place, I laughed and said there's no good restaurant in this neighborhood and boy am I an idiot. Jang Dok Dae is a Korean restaurant located in Flushing but outside the main street area (which is a saving grace, no one wants to venture into Main St nowadays with those high parking fees and traffic). It is in a very unassuming spot with decent street parking in the area. We came as a group of 7 on a Thursday night and the place already had a couple of tables seated. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by the host/server (which I believe is the owner) whom was super warm and welcoming and took us to our seats. The restaurant was clean and organized with lots of natural lighting. It's got a very nature and homey vibe to it, with lots of green plants and butterfly décor everywhere along with some nature theme paintings hanging on the wall. Btw before even talking about the food, can I just say I love the restaurant menu and how there's a photo next to each item along with the English translation (even if you don't know much about Korean cuisine, you won't feel lost here). In terms of food, I don't know where to even start cause everything was so good and delicious! And I do mean EVERYTHING no joke. From the refreshing tomato salad starter to the banchan (omg that fried crispy seaweed & peanut w/anchovies) to the appetizers and main courses, everything was delicious! But if I had to pick a few highlights for the night, it would have to be the Seafood Scallion Pancake, the Aged Beef Short Rib, and the Aged Pork Shoulder Butt. The seafood scallion pancake (comes with shrimps, clams, mussels, calamari) was pretty amazing to start us off the night. I mean I had seafood scallion pancakes before but never like this good in both flavor and texture. Usually when I get it in other places, it's soft and soggy on the outside and doughy on the inside but here it's totally different, first of all they don't skim on the ingredients and actually gives you a lots of seafood and second, the pancake is actually super crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside which means they took their time to make it right. Wonderfully Delicious! The Aged Beef Short Rib is definitely the highlight of the night especially for me who is a big meat eater. According to the menu this is meat that has been aged for 4 weeks in Korean fermented sauces, sparkling rice wine & natural yeast and the flavor and texture definitely shows. The meat was perfectly cooked to medium and the short rib was so soft and tender that it almost melts in your mouth. The meat was super flavorful with a hint of sweetness and the meat juice and aroma that fills your mouth as you chew was just simply amazing. My only regret was not ordering more since I only got two pieces and I needed to save some for others. Another highlight of the night was the Aged Pork Shoulder Butt, I was a bit concern that the dish would be too greasy or fatty but nope, it was everything but that. The shoulder butt had the perfect balance of meat and fat so it wasn't overly greasy. It also got this awesome sear on the outside so the texture was right on point with the crispiness on the outside and tender, chewy and juicy on the inside. The flavor really came through and again this is from weeks of aging process, with a little bit of the Gochujang sauce and a mouthful of rice, this is what I would consider close to a perfect bite (someone bring me some steamed eggs). Service wise- everything just feels so homey and comfortable here, and the hostess/server played such a huge part to it. She was so gracious, warm and cheerful and it just feels like she's the mother whom would come check up on you once in a while to make sure you had enough food to eat. One thing to note is that the food does take some time to prepare, so if you are in much of a hurry, this might not be for you but if you are willing to wait, you can be sure you'd be treated to great food. Cost is very reasonable especially for the quality of food and service in the restaurant. Most of the dishes ranges from around $30, given this is food to share not individual serving and you do get a pretty hefty portion for each dish. Overall Jang Dok Dae is a restaurant in Flushing I won't tell my friends about because I need to keep it a hidden gem for selfish reasons (just kidding!). Everything about the place screams nature and home, it's just the perfect place to come with friends, chat and enjoy a few Korean dishes together. The food is amazing and the service is warm and delightful. You can count on me to come back and try out the other dishes and hopefully I won't need to make a reservation for this place in the next go around. read more

Been a few times and it's usually pretty empty on weeknights. It's run by an older Korean couple and I've never seen anyone else working there. Things take awhile but the dishes are second to none. It's worth it. Please be patient with them as they're very friendly and working very hard. Ambiance is very unusual for a Korean/asian restaurant. It's decorated more like a small town cafe and 90s dance playlist over the Bluetooth speaker paired well with the inexpensive soju and beer. Banchan varies. One of the unique Banchan was a tomato salad type I've never had anywhere else. Not sure if it's common in other cities or Korea but it's light, acidic and refreshing. All the main dishes I've had are great and feel very homemade and comforting. read more
My friends and I came at around 8pm on Tuesday not knowing they closed at 9pm. The waitress kindly informs us the restaurant closes in an hour. There's a menu at the door which you can conveniently peer at while you wait. Place is cute, looks like a family run restaurant with the looks of Ikea. For take out you can pay cash for 5% off. She's busy running around and she's the only one working as she tries to handle a few tables at once and sit my party of 3 as well. We order the seafood pancake, bulkoki, and LA kalbi. She gives us several side dishes as we wait for the main dishes to come, we devour those quickly. Must try the seafood pancake! It was so hot and crispy! So so good!! We were all fighting for the last piece. Service was ok, she appeared to be in a rush. read more

We felt warm and home when we dined in at Jang Dok Dae. It's not only because of their decor but their hospitable & welcoming service. The menu is not in a great variety compared to other Korean restaurants but most dishes are good. We had Anchovy Broth with Vegetable Flaky noodle soup and Braised Oxtail. The food was amazingly delicious, especially the broth of flaky noodle soup, flavorful but light. We also were impressed by how chewy the noodles were. read more

Nice, homey dining experience with good service despite only two people working here. Really appreciate the vegan options (including kimchi, which is a rarity in Korean restaurants), which are clearly marked on the menu. Would definitely come back. read more
Small Korean restaurant located across from Utopia Parkway CVS! Always drive by this place and wanted to try it. I love supporting small businesses. Food was good and not too pricey in comparison with all other korean restaurants on Northern. The raw marinated blue crabs are a must try! Our waitress was really polite and friendly. Lucky to have found this gem, will definitely come back . Plus the decor is very unique and colorful! read more

Had two orders of marinated and they were fantastic. The texture was smooth and had the jelly like but with just enough chewiness in each bite to savor the deep flavor. The best part is within the crab's main shell, with the crab's gooey innards and some of the roe sitting in a small pool of the marinade. Using the shell as a sort of dish, a spoon or two of hot purple rice is added and mixed with the crab parts to create a seasoned "crabby" rice. I'll definitely come back here read more
I had lunch here with my boyfriend's family and we all agreed this was one of the most memorable Korean meals we've ever had! This restaurant may be small and exude the feel of a cafe, but its homey, comforting atmosphere allow you to appreciate this carefully curated space. The walls are adorned with paintings for sale and the sunlit interior makes you feel as if you are sitting down to a home cooked meal. Our waitress was so busy running around, and it seems like she and her husband are the only ones running the restaurant. Due to this, there is a sign near the door that says food may take 30-40 mins to arrive, so be prepared for the wait! With that said, the food here is certainly worth the wait. To start with, we were served roasted barley hibiscus tea and banchan. The banchan were delicious! There was fishcake strips, garlic eggplant, pickled tomatoes in vinegar, cucumber salad, and roasted peanuts with anchovies. We requested an extra fishcake serving since it was so yummy. The seafood pancake we ordered was one of the best we've had. It was so flaky and crispy, and studded with fresh squid, juicy shrimp, and veggies. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. I ordered the fried mackeral with rice as my main. The mackeral was well cooked and deliciously fried. The seasoning on it masks the mild fishy taste well. The fillet I was served was enormous. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and although our waitress was so busy, she made sure to stop by and tend to us. The food we ordered was so enjoyable due to the fresh ingredients. Anyone in the area should dine here for excellent, comforting Korean food. read more
I was immediately turned on to this fledgling business when I read a recent Eater article with this quote: "We try to get as close as possible to the experience of a traditional home-cooked meal that a family would make and eat in Korea," says (owner Karen) Yang. In fact, this was the last restaurant I ate a meal inside of before COVID changed the world. Right before Armageddon hit, Jang Dok Dae opened its doors. I can only imagine how daunting it must be for restaurants in this current environment, and even more so for one yet to be established. I recall despite the tension, and eerie emptiness of once vibrant/packed neighborhoods like Flushing and Murray Hill, there was still a friendliness here and optimism in the service. I also enjoyed the space with black and white murals depicting NYC. The banchan we were served was abundant - deliciously spicy, balanced acidic and sweet - kimchi, tomato and onion, apples and celery. All were so good and a promising start. Kalguksu, in house, knife cut noodles are one of their specialties so we decided on a couple of versions. One with smoked duck and shrimp, crab, mussels, clam and squid in anchovy broth. I preferred the seafood with the noodles. The noodles were comforting and addicting. I recently returned for takeout, and like most restaurants, tables were bunched together blocking access to one side. I noticed the mural was in the process of being repainted. I asked the woman (who I presumed is Karen, owner from the quote above) why the change? She said she wanted something brighter and reflecting nature - seemingly a change in vision which is perhaps a reaction to the COVID turmoil. The take out was very good evoking memories of my previous experience. The standout dish for me was spicy pork over rice - the flavor was just so amazingly good. The tray of Banchan was fantastic this time as well. We got the galbi over noodles this time, but these would be better eaten as they are served. There is a great vibe here and the owners are so friendly and accommodating. I never had an actual home cooked Korean meal, but I believe with the delicious food at Jang Dok Dae and homey feeling I get here that I came close to that experience. read more
Got 2 orders of raw marinated crab and also grilled mackerel. We took the train from manhattan to come get the crab here as there are no good raw crab places near me. I got the first batch of crab- the soy marinate was really good and not super salty like other spots. Also liked how there were scallions in the sauce. The first batch didn't have any eggs so I was a little disappointed but the lady came out with the second order and there were so much eggs in the crab. It was so delicious and meaty. The restaurants decorations are nice and the staff is very friendly! I enjoyed coming to eat here and will be back. read more

I was craving for raw marinated carbs. Therefore, my fiancee and I found this place, which was the best decision for the day. We got the seafood tofu stew, the oyster mushroom tofu stew, and two orders of marinated raw crabs. I tried different Korean restaurants for the marinated raw crab, and this is the best so far. It's fresh and yummy! Not to mention, tofu stews are also delicious; the portion is significant, and there is a decent amount of tofu in there. The service was fantastic, and the Banchan also came with tomato salad. The tomato salad is refreshing, and it tastes delicious! This will be my go-to place from now on! read more
I'd say it's 4.5 stars for me! This restaurant seems like a hidden gem? The food tasted fresh and authentic. Service is quite slow but the food came out pretty quickly considering there was just one chef. It's on the pricier side but I would come back again! read more
This is such a hidden gem that's alluded me since I moved to this neighborhood, and I've lived here for maybe five years now. That means I've wasted five years not eating their food and dining at their restaurant. It's like everything was curated according to both the chef's tastes and the manager(?)'s tastes. If you look at the plates used, they're so gorgeous and yet everything feels homey. The dishes were a thousand chef's kisses, I think my favorite thing on the menu is the dry-aged meats. And the fries are my favorite fries in all the land. read more

So happy I found this hidden gem highly recommended on Yelp. I took the chance and enjoyed a thoroughly DELICIOUS meal here that brought me back to my grandmas cooking. Although I am not of Korean descent, it was the essence of the meal that made me think of her. All the ingredients were of excellent fresh quality paired with excellent flavor profiles. I was so pleased to have a nice hearty meal in solitude and wished my bowl magically refilled the owner was so nice and accommodating and made me feel at home. Korean cuisine is truly a treat that can be enjoyed by the masses and if you're looking for an authentic experience, come eat here. Can't wait to come back with my family and share in the yumminess. Peep the bubbling boily goodness in my video, your mouth will water. read more
A relax with garden like decorated vibe. This is one of those mom and pop shop that has classic Korean home style meal, real simple and really good. Service tends to be slow because one server(I believe she is the owner) taking care of multiple tables at the same time. I tried couple of dishes and none disappointed me. The seafood pancake was thin and crispy and lots of seafood on the top. Spicy rice cake, tteokbokki, was flavorful and not as spicy as I expected. Braised beef short rib was soft and tender as the meat was falling off the bone. It was a bit salty but it was prefect with the rice. There were also different rice options. The kimchi stew was also on the point. They also have a secret menu in the front. That right hand corner showing ssambop set is their speciality. The only way to get a set is to make a reservation as the owner said they only make for those customers that made their reservation ahead of the time. I would say make a reservation two days ahead. I did went back another time after making the reservation and had it. Ssambop is use all kind of fresh vegetables to wrap your own meat selection. I got the beef. The vegetables were super fresh like they just picked from the garden. Again meat,beef, was a bit salt stand alone but it was great with the fresh vegetables. Definitely a healthy option and simple kind of food which I am sure you can enjoy without feeling guilty about it. From top to bottom, everything was fantastic and can't wait to return. read more

Seafood Pancake tastes the best, it is very thin and crispy. But the rest dishes are just ok. Cold Mixed Tofu Noodle is not spicy, which taste very bland. Glbijjim(braised beef ribs) is not spicy too, it cost $30 but only have 3 piece, which is not worthy and not valuable. Stir fried chicken are normal ,don't recommend to anyone. read more

Tried the LA Galbi, Spicy chicken and the Anchovy Sujebi. Everything was perfection! The galbi was perfectly seasoned and was super tender. Spicy chicken was very flavorful. The noodle soup brought had a nice balance -- the broth was light and savory. To top it all off, the portions were quite big! Interior was also very cozy. Looks very homey. The servers are all ajummas and they're all so nice! Loved the complimentary ice cream at the end also. I really wanted to try their dukbokki because I've heard good things unfortunately they were sold out when I went. Definitely ordering that next time. read more
super homey, hearty place in deep queens! just a note, they have two locations on uber, be sure to check for the right one when going! it's the 46 ave one. food; i got the gamja tang & pork belly. gamja tang was one of the best i've had in the city! highly highly recommend, it's hearty and thick and packed with flavor. the pork is also good, but didn't live up to the stew. plus, i love how they also have purple rice! the space: mid-size and very homey. the owners seem extremely kind and accommodating, they even serve pear extract at the end of your meal! read more

Had to come here b/c a friend hyped it up so much and was glad I could stop by! I came here on a Tuesday at around 7pm with a friend and got seated right away in the small restaurant. The inside is cute and cozy with lots of greens and dividers between the tables. For starters, they gave (free) tomato salad with cilantro and some side dishes like kimchi, anchovies and glazed peanuts, and radish. For the main, I ordered kalbi tang (beef short rib soup) and dakgooyee (bbq chicken) to share. The meal was hearty and clean! If you're looking for a classic korean restaurant, check this place out! Pretty low-key but it's not bad! FYI they close midday to prep for dinner, so plan accordingly (looks at the hours)! And on mondays they are closed!!! read more
