I liked the seafood pancake, but it could have been more crispy. I also liked the seafood tofu stew. The bibimbap was probably the most worth it, as it was a large portion. The service and ambiance here was really good, with the staff offering refills on banchan. Additionally, the complimentary tea is so refreshing.

That combined with be good with mid spicy or higher. But the mushroom one is perfect to get the clear broth. I'll order hot &spicy with the meat tofu in the future. That will be a perfect balance with some fat and spicy with the rice. Orders come out around 10 minutes. It's closed to the closing time. Workers were a little chatty and you needed to draw their attention if you needed service. Once they got it, service is quick It's quiet for a Saturday night but it's exactly I needed for tonight, the night before the bizarre snow.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 For most people, Korean food means BBQ meats over a grill, along with all the small side dishes that come with the meal. However, for most Koreans, a more common meal is often soup based. For those in the know, they are a nation of broth. When I have a craving for Korean soups, this is one of my favorite spots, especially for their beef based soups (menu items #1-6). They are all good, but my usual order is #3, Doseolleongtang (ox bone soup with sliced beef shank & tendon). The shank meat is quite tender, while the tendon has the perfect texture. My second choice is #5 Ggogaltang (oxtail & short rib soup). Other non-beef soups I enjoy here include the #7 Soondaeguk (blood sausage soup) and #8 Daeji Gupbak (pork soup). I do also believe they have a very flavorful #16 Bajiraktang due to an abundance of clams. However, there was some sand the last time we had it. Other than soups, they also make good versions of #30 Jokbal (braised pork shank) and #31 Bossam (boiled pork belly w/ cabbage & radish kimchi). Definitely order one of those items for a group gathering. Maybe also add #33 Dogani Muchim (spicy ox knee tendon salad) or #34 Golbaengi Muchim (spicy sea snail salad) or #39 LA Galbi (marinated beef short rib). Lastly, I have tried their #37 Ojingeo Bokkeum (spicy stir fried squid) as well. Though solid, this is not the place I would get this dish. #22 Goon Mandoo (fried dumpling) is decent and their Kimchi Jeon (kimchi pancake) was crispy but a tad bland. As for service, the owner Tesh and his staff are very friendly. They also are attentive without ever being overbearing. I really appreciate their hospitality and pray they are around for a very long time.

I was craving something different from my usual Korean BBQ and stumbled across this cozy little place serving amazing soup dishes. The Food: 5/5 I ordered their ginseng chicken stone pot soup and it was everything I needed for a cold winter day -- flavorful, rich, and comforting. They started us off with some tasty little pickled radish and sides, which made the wait feel even shorter. Speaking of which, the food came out in about 15- 20 minutes, piping hot and beautifully served in a huge bowl. The Experience: 5/5 The portions were generous -- like, truly bowl-of-happiness level generous -- and the staff was friendly and quick. Prices ranged around $18-$25, which felt totally fair considering the quality and portion size. You could easily come here with family or friends, order a few soups and some pancakes to share, and leave completely satisfied. All in all, this place feels like a comforting hidden gem near Flushing but at the Murray Hill LIRR. Nothing fancy or pretentious -- just really good food, warm service, and cozy vibes. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

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.

My kids and I have enjoyed their duck meat since they have been in the womb. They give a nice assortment of side dishes, steamed egg, and soybean soup when bbqing. The reason I go here and choose this place over and over again is the unique crystal slab that looks like you are cooking on ice! There are no scratched pans/table tops like in other Korean bbq places. Scratched teflon coating is a huge no for me! Why would I pay to eat out and have to subject myself and family to cancer causing Teflon flakes! Crystal is the way to go and only hanjoo has the crystal!

Cuisine: 5 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 6 The short answer? The food is alright. The service is average too. I came here a few times because they have a precious parking lot. However, I wish they could improve upon their food a tad. The namesake tofu stews all lack depth of flavor and the quality of tofu feels underwhelming. Their accompanying steamed white rice also tastes too firm and not glutinous enough. Together, this restaurant does not make a better soondubu than most of the Korean restaurants around, even though they should specialize in it. Also, they don't offer much in terms of banchans, which seems like a common trend in many Korean restaurants. On the other hand, I would say that their Grilled Mackerel and Grilled LA Galbi is decent. Not good enough that I would go here for those dishes because I have many options for those items. I come for the soondubu and sadly I have given it enough opportunities to impress.

Honestly, everything we ordered worked really well together, but the sujebi and bossam completely stole the show. I would come back just for that sujebi, no hesitation.

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.

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
