Had a great experience at Jinsang Gukbap! The assorted beef casserole was the star of the meal -- huge portion, packed with flavor, and super comforting. Definitely worth ordering if you're hungry. The squid bibimbap was just okay. The flavors were good overall, but the squid pieces were cut a bit too big, which made them hard to chew and threw off the texture a bit. Service was great and very attentive throughout the meal. Overall, I'd come back again, especially for that beef casserole! read more

Was excited to try this place out after hearing about such great reviews. Honestly, it was sort of disappointing. We ordered the bosom and the beef intestine hot pot. Bosom was pretty decent, but the hot pot wasn't anything to rave about. Felt like I could cook it at home. It was busy when we got seated, but it was a little strange that the banchan/side dishes didn't arrive until the main dishes came. We were sitting around for a good 20-30 minutes with just tea. There are definitely better Korean restaurants to go to, so I don't think I'll be back. Staff was nice, but they seemed very backed up and I just don't think the food was worth it. read more

Chilly weather calls for a hot bowl of soup! I have to say Korean cuisine is my fave and soup is always a top choice as my go to. I opt for the beef and intestine soup, clear broth packed with flavor and a nice kick! Others ordered bibimbap, beef bone soup, and tofu soup which they all had good comments about, too. This spot has cozy vibes. I couldn't resist checking out their colorful wall mural upon entering. The little details include cute animals highlighting delightful hotpot feels. Another place checked off my bookmark and will be back to try the hot pot and combo meals. read more

Perfect spot for a warm, comforting meal! JINSANG GUKBAP is known for their gukbap, and it definitely lives up to the hype. On a chilly day, nothing hits better than a bowl of their rich, flavorful soups. Highly recommend the galbi tang and the spicy beef soup with vegetables--hearty, satisfying, and full of flavor. It's also the ultimate hangover spot after a night out. Service is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Definitely coming back! read more

Solid Korean restaurant on Northern Boulevard! The decor is a little quirky because it seems like they left some of the motifs of the previous tenants. Otherwise good food and great for groups and kids! Their jigaes and bibimbaps are solid choices. Good spread of banchan too. Would recommend! read more

Had a terrific lunch with friends a few weeks ago. Come for their beef head soup, short rib soup, and bibimbap cooked in stone bowls. We arrived at noon on a Friday, a party of 5 without reservations and were seated immediately. Ample seating inside for about 40ish people at tables set up for 4-6. There were a couple of younger staff who seemed more welcoming and attentive than the older staff.* they asked if it was our first time here and if we had questions. They were also happy to give recommendations. We ordered: - 해물 파전 Seafood Korean Pancake $25.95: this haemul pajeon was made well, pretty standard serving size and amount of seafood. - 진상 소머리 국밥 Beef Head Rice Soup regular $17.95 and premium $20.95 x2: the difference between regular and premium seemed to be the amount of meat, and the bowl size was slightly larger for premium. For both, there is also a $2 surcharge for dinner over the lunch prices. The beef broth is served with generous slices of meat, even for the regular version. You are also given a bowl of rice separately to eat with the soup. My initial reaction when the bowls were brought over was that they were bubbling hot and steaming, they smelled a bit "beefy" and very slightly gamey to me, but when I tasted the flavor of the soup it was delicious and they definitely cooked the broth at least overnight to get this level of flavor. Super tasty eaten with rice and hit the spot in a freezing cold day. The definition of a Korean comfort food. - 진상 갈비탕 Beef Short Rib Soup $25.95: similarly served hot, it came with the entire rib bone, quite a sizeable chunk of meat as well. Also served with rice on the side. - 제육 돌솥 비빔밥 Spicy Pork Hot Stone Bibimbap $17.95: served in a hot stone bowl. My friend enjoyed this. - a handful of small banchan came complimentary, mostly diff types of kimchi, they also brought out two steamed eggs on the house which was a thoughtful gesture (especially since most Korean restaurants make you pay for these nowadays). As some other reviews have pointed out, parking can be kinda tough considering it's on a section of Northern Blvd with other businesses and residential immediately behind, so there's no dedicated parking lot, only street parking. It's reachable by LIRR several blocks away from the Bayside station, or by bus too. Worth mentioning they have cool custom mural covering an entire wall depicting multiple characters eating Korean food, love the incorporation of local art! (Apparently left from the prior restaurant which was a witch-themed toppokki spot.) *I feel like this is generally the case in Asian restaurants where younger staff are a bit more comfortable with communication and more aware of the need for customer service. read more

Ordered to go on a cold winter day. Was satisfying but doesn't quite hit compared to if it was a rolling boil in a clay pot at the restaurant. The flavor was nice and clean but wish there was more protein and glass noodles. The banchans were also okay - best one was the spicy fish cakes. Would love to give this spot another try to dine in next time. read more

I tried a new eatery today is Baysids Queens, Jinsang Gukbap off 209 street & Northern. Gukbap in Korean means a dish consist of soup & rice. This place specialized in various spicy beef soups. If you are looking for Selungtang the white bone broth, this is not the place. I got the Ox Blood soup. It's spicy chili peppers based with cabbage beansprouts and various beef parts like Tripes and of course, ox Blood. The soup hit the spot! The place is spacious with a hip wall mural. This place open early for soupy breakfast and hangover soup and close late for the drinking crowd. Enjoy! read more

Overall: I had a wonderful time here and was introduced to some fascinating foods, like oxblood soup. If you're a timid person who wants to experience some adventurous ingredients wrapped in a comforting dish, this is a great place to try out new things. By dish: Beef gukbap (pictured). Very good! Hearty yet clean taste. Obviously the main draw, and the go-to for the less adventurous people like myself. There's a version with beef head instead, but if that makes you squeamish, don't worry- it's all soft, melt-in-your-mouth slices of meat. Still, if you're not a fan of fatty/collagen tastes, go for the regular beef. I assure you that there isn't too much of a difference, aside from the broth being clearer. Muscle forms the clearest broth, followed by collagen-rich meat, and finally bone. Oxblood soup (unpictured): Also good! The blood was cooked into a tofu-like consistency. If you're worried about it tasting too iron-like, don't. It's got a mild taste which pales in comparison to the bold, spicy flavors. Banchan and seafood pancake: banchan was good. Kimchi was decent quality, nuts and anchovies were good. Didn't try the other. As for the seafood pancake, it was crispy and packed with different seafoods. If you're bringing a family, I'd recommend this as an appetizer. Bibimbap: Also quite good, decent, balanced flavors. Service: Excellent. Didn't pay attention to ambiance, but the table was set up like the average Korean restaurant. read more

TLDR: Good spot for traditional Korean soup that's open early if you're looking for breakfast. The beef head soup is definitely their signature item. Was in the need for some hot soup and it was early, so popped over to Jinsang Gukbap. Spacious, occupies the former Bayside Witch Toppoki space. Got the mandu and the seomori gukbap or beef head soup. Mandu was fairly large and came steamed. Nice and rich, lots of different types of meat including tendon, some lean and fatty meat. I found it just hit the spot for me, scratching that hot soup itch. Was very full and definitely would come back to try some of the other items. read more

This place was where Witch topology used to be. The large witch mural is the backdrop of the place. We went on a Monday night and the place was pretty empty. The waitress was helpful but not very attentive with only 2 other tables. The food servings were generous and tasty. We had to ask for additional sides a few times and refill of the tea. The food hit the spot on a nice cold night. Would try it again in the future since the food was good. Wish the service was better. read more

We've been back a few times to give them a real try but I think that's all for us. We just don't love it. Honestly, it's overpriced for the quality. The broth lacks a true deep flavor that should typically be the crowning jewel on a dish that is all about the broth. I found a hair in one of the side dishes and as crazy as I sound, I'm not automatically unreasonably mad when this type of thing happens. I'm sure it's never intentional and accidents can happen as naturally, there could be dust or hair or whatever that flys around a busy public space. If the food was amazing, I would still eat there, just being mindful to check my food - as I do anywhere. But the food is just so-so. I can do better making most of the dishes on their menu. Coupled with high prices, limited banchan, and tricky parking for this busy Northern strip - we'll pass. read more

Had this for the first time. A bit pricey. $25 for the Galbitang and $35 for baekje galbi. However the soup came with huge beef ribs. The baekje galbi had a nice seared and Smokey flavor. It was also cooked medium rare and still sizzling on a hot plate. We also ordered fried mandoo and it was absolutely delicious. The skin was thin and crispy. The banchan came with, kimchi, fish cake, radish and chives. I had a weird encounter with a waitress when I asked her more fish cake and she nodded no but then gave us extra. We were both stuffed at the end. read more
