    Bossom. Pork Belly with Oysters
    Mike S.

    The awning outside Jeunju shows they've been open since 1985 and it only took me 40 years to try. I was turned on to this place by a Korean co-worker that mentioned he comes here for the noodles - that it is an OG place. Say less. I'm there. Jeunju is easy to spot with its current hot pink exterior. I thought this was the original color, but it looks like it was recently painted this color. Wasn't hot pink trendy in the 80s? The interior is not particularly fancy - it is down to earth. It is very easy to over order here just from vast amount of banchan they bring out (I counted 8 dishes on our table). Just ordering one dish will do it haha. Despite this you will probably be tempted since they have many delicious dishes. (note: They will happily pack any food you order, but please don't ask to pack the banchan. It's tacky) I enjoyed the mandu with their silky soft wrapper and delicious filing (they could have been put together a little better, a couple weren't sealed fully). Their hand torn noodle with its light anchovy broth is money - the clam version is my go to. The pork back bone stew comes with large meaty chunks of its namesake. The stew is thickened with perilla leaf that goes great with the spice. I enjoyed the roasted pork belly with oysters - they oysters come shucked in a bowl. I would have preferred if they were kept colder. The pork belly is meant to be eaten Ssam style with the cabbage and lettuce provided. This dish could easily feed 4. If you want something smaller try the pork wrap set where the pork is served spicy style and comes with a side of tofu soybean stew. For me, an easy 5 stars for the longevity, the friendly servers, the homey classic Korean dishes served here - it's what I want to see continue to thrive in NYC.

    Decent assortment of banchan. Ordered the galbitang and Bossam with oyster. Galbitang was a tiny portion and had a strong flavor of white pepper; the meat was very tender. Bossam was very dry and the oysters were very fishy.

    Seafood Pajeon
    Serena X.

    So worth the trek! We got the seafood panjeon to share, along with some seafood udon. The banchan were quite good, and more than anything this just feels like a homey environment with cozy food that isn't trying to cater to various audiences.

    Oyster soup
    Teresa C.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. The food tastes homey and comforting. You can tell it's a local favorite since it was a random Wednesday afternoon and was still decently packed with middle aged Korean folks. The aunties serving were super sweet. I had the seaweed and oyster soup and my friend had a tofu stew. Both were delicious.

    Finally. I've found the holy grail of classic homestyle authentic Korean food in the area and I couldn't be happier. My stomach is basically smiling right now, what a satisfying dinner. Every single banchan dish was so good and fresh, not the overpriced mass produced stuff you find in Hmart but the food you'd find made by your mom or auntie at home. On top of all the deliciousness, the prices are very very fair. Really a hidden gem and I'm so happy we found it. Delivery edit: I want to add that I'm 90% sure they give different banchan for delivery, the quality when we order delivery of the banchan is significantly lower than what we got in the restaurant. Like we've ordered delivery probably 3x now and haven't gotten any fresh tofu banchan and they just seem like older stuff that's been sitting in a fridge rather than the fresh amazing things we got in the restaurant. Makes sense financially I suppose but keep that in mind if you order delivery.

    Walking into the fridge in cold weather, I was craving soup. I decided to walk in and give it a try, and I am so happy I did. It's a neighborhood joint. People smile at you when you walk in. There are so many stew /soup/noodle soups to choose from. And they have pictures all over one side of the wall. The Gamjatang soup and Hae Mul Pa jeon were rich and delicious. The portion sizes are good. The service was very friendly. very reasonable price. This is my new fav for Korean stew and soup

    seafood pancake
    Monica L.

    What a lovely find! This is a small local restaurant with mainly locals visiting. The lady was extremely friendly and helpful. Whereas the food is not as flavorful as the other restaurants in the area, the food feels homey, healthier and warms the soul. I had a spicy beef soup and the beef was sooo tender! Also had the seafood pancake which had a good portion of seafood and was slightly crunchy. The banchan was also nice - with potatoes and a pork rib!

    Bossam, kalguksu, and gamjatang
    Michelle G.

    Really delicious, cozy place to get Korean food! I read about this on Eater listing it as one of many yummy places to get Korean food and had also heard great things about this place from a friend (he recommended the bossam, gamjatang, and samgyetang). The portions are nice and big and it also comes with yummy banchan. We got the bossam, gamjatang, and seafood kalguksu. The bossam was so good - it comes with oyster and the oyster together with the pork belly in the ssam is exquisite. Definitely a favorite among the group. I also loved the flavor of the broth of the seafood kalguksu and how hearty it was. I definitely recommend this place. The lady who took our order and maybe was the owner was very kind and attentive and also appreciated how kind the service was.

    Evelyn N.

    10/10 always hits!! Especially on a cold winter day there's so many stews and soups and noodle dishes to choose from. The prices are also so VALUE and the service is always friendly. My bf always orders the gamjatang and I always get the gukbap!! Both are piping hot so be careful of the roof of your mouth and tongue. If you want it less spicy just ask! Too yummy to gatekeep!!!

    Spicy beef soup
    Shashi R.

    Typical Korean dishes, moderately priced, and great for delivery. Ratings: Dumpling soup 8/10 Big, juicy, soft skinned dumplings in light savory broth Grilled Mackerel + Soybean paste stew 7/10 Very crispy mackerel, some fish oil flavor, good portion size for the money. It comes with a sauce that really enhances the flavor of the fish and covers up the fish oil flavor. The soybean stew is a little spicy if you need some extra flavor. Spicy Beef soup 7/10 Decent portion size and good flavor and texture for the beef, but not a lot of beef. Korean style egg omelet 7/10 Eggs were light and airy with clean flavor but without seasoning and spices like the other dishes. Use sauce or eat with soup/stew to balance it out.

    Chicken kalguksu
    Yuri K.

    Food: very authentic korean food. Kalguksu was handmade and very chewy texture. The spicy pork jjim had a very country style authentic taste. Mixed with rice at the end with all the sauce was super yummy too! Seafood pajeon was pretty good too. Service: very attentive. Gave aprons for people who had white shirts on and always asked if we needed refill on banchan etc. Overall - would definitely come back and probably a regular in my rotation of korean restaurants.

    Banchan
    Samantha D.

    Came on a cold day that was perfect for warm soup. I came at around 3:30pm, so there wasn't anyone inside, and some of the staff were eating lunch. People trickled in during my time there though. Banchan was good. My favorite was the tofu. It was firm and flavorful. You can ask for refills if you want more. Gamjatang was exactly what I needed as I felt a little under the weather. The slight spice cleared my sinuses. The hot soup warmed my insides. It was rich and savory, and I want to say fermented. The portion is also huge. There was a lot of pork. A lot of people were coming in for their gamjatang or samgyetang. A very satisfying, home-cooked meal. Murray Hill is quite a trek, but it's worth a try.

    Hangover Soup
    Max C.

    3 things about this place: 1) Heard great things on Yelp and wanted to try this place out while I was visiting from Florida. This is a chain restaurant that is also located in New Jersey and wanted to see what the hype was all about. The lady who served me and my sister was really friendly and very outgoing. She kept asking how everything was and if we needed something else. Small restaurant but everything was excellent. 2) Seafood pancake, Hangover soup and Fish cake soup were ordered and they were both fantastic and felt like we were both eating in Korea. The side dishes were also great, especially the radish kimchi that went well with the soups. Great quality and great service. 3) This place is known for their knife cut noodles, where there are variety types you can choose from such as seafood, clams, vegetable broth, and even anchovy broth. If you're not into the noodles, other rice dishes and soups available and they were fantastic. Overall, I'm definitely coming back when I visit Flushing, NY and will be one of my go to spots while I'm here. Highly highly recommend to those looking for authentic Korean food in Flushing, NY

Everything was SO delicious! I loved the cheese tteokgalbi, which were even better with the rosemary lime aioli dipping sauce. The gukbap had a strong, savory broth and rice came on the side, so I enjoyed dipping it into the soup. The beef was cooked perfectly.

The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

Everything was so good, egg was extra fluffy, rice cake was delicious and the meat came right off the bones. They take a good variety of side dishes. My partner wasn't a fan of the gamja tang but due to feeling it's a hassle to eat meat with bones, so those who fee sim may agree. We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things.

The inside is casual,…read moreand our waitress, Jane, was extremely friendly and helpful from refilling banchan to cooking meats and otherwise. A couple of us shared a $13 bottle of the green grape flavor of Chum Churum, a soju. In terms of banchan, there was a bunch. Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.
