Bulgogi
Samuel C.

It was a hot day so we ordered two bowls of naeng myun. Even though the restaurant isnt known for naeng myun, we wanted to try it. The broth was good but a portion of the noodles for both bowls were uncooked. The bulgogi was standard. Service was fine.

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.

Satisfied meal looks like this

Traditional Korean food with ingredient combos and innovative sauces to take it to another level using very fresh ingredients, with friendly very accommodating staff moving our dining experience along in one of the coolest dining space, loved the artwork! A definite recommend and return with people I love to try more of the menu!

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!

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!

Burnt overcooked steamed egg. Not complimentary
Josh C.

The steamed egg was overcooked, burnt, dry, and lacking in any flavor. Surprised they thought it was ok to serve it to customers. It was also not complimentary as the other reviews suggest. I had to order it separately. The other food was okay but nothing spectacular to rave about. Service was extremely slow, with only two waiters working at dinner time. Won't be coming back.

Inside
Susan C.

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.

Tried the premium beef head soup, beef tripe and intestine soup, octopus and pork, premium beef short rip; and chicken soup. Highly recommend the soups!

Gordon C.

Jinsang Gukbap is the go-to spot to satisfy Korean cravings these days. The space is spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to dine in. Staff is friendly, attentive, and very quick with serving dishes. The food comes out hot and fresh, and the flavors are on point across the board. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. Would definitely come back again. Street parking available.

Guk 진상(특)소머리국밥 Premium beef head broth
Evelyn N.

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.

Spicy beef vegetable soup
Warren A.

I had the spicy beef soup with vegetables. It was perfect for a cold day. The bonchon that came with it was all delicious as well. We also had the seafood pancake. Service was excellent and I will come back to try 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!

They have really good boiled pork belly and jokbal- pig trotter. We ordered the grilled kalbi steak but it was a bit chewy. Kalbi beef soup was spot on and the seafood pancake was nice and crispy.

I also appreciate that the music isn't too loud, so we could actually talk and hear each other while dining. Everything feels clean, polished, and inviting. The staff were incredibly cordial and attentive. They had the initiative to check on us from time to time and refill our water without us having to ask. I also love how generous they are with the sides! My favorite dish here is definitely the Galbi. Every bite took me back to Japan. I know this is Korean cuisine, but the Galbi reminded me so much of the one I've had in Japan, which is probably why I enjoyed it even more. We ordered the group meal with Bimbimao, and we also really loved the chicken wings. I just wish the wings were a little bigger and that the serving was more generous! We also tried their rice wine and Kuku cocktails, and both were delicious. They definitely don't skimp on the drinks! I'll definitely keep coming back. This was already my fourth time bringing a group of friends and family here, and I can see myself doing it again. At this point, I'm hoping they'll consider having a loyalty or discount card for regular customers like me!

I am used to the location in Long Island and i am obsessed with the kimchi, and the kimchi here is also just as good! The service was super good, our water cups were NEVER empty!! They were speedy and there was always somebody ready to help which i appreciate. They refilled the kimchi and the other side dishes too which i loved- because the side dishes were all so good! We thought the pork galbi was not that good though. They didn't have the usual char to it and they didn't give much fat/lean pieces, just purely lean pieces, so it was a bit dry. But the soondubu and mackerel were amazing! It was perfectly tender and crispy, with the right amount of fat. Paired perfectly with the kimchi. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

There's 2 waitresses and one busser, but I felt only one of the waitress was pulling the weight, while the other (maybe she's the owner?) mostly chatted with one of the table customers. I felt bad for our waitress she was so busy with fulfilling takeouts + dine ins and the dishes require a lot of servicing table side. She couldn't catch 1 second of break :( Food wise, we got their 2 person combo of spicy pork gamja tang and spicy rice cake which came with the steamed egg. 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. Don't come if you're in a rush.

We were a group of 6 and came to Daori for some Korean BBQ. They're located on a residential street but next to several other stores and restaurant. We were surprised to see that they had TV's which was great since the World Cup final was playing. We are told the Iberico pork was the star here. We ordered several other dishes as well. The pork was indeed very good. My only comment was that the waitress seemed very stressed and frazzled. She was stressing about cooking the food and some of it was getting overcooked but also our banchan didn't get refilled because of it. Their English is also not great so there were times when we had a tough time communicating. I would say overall the food was good and we had a good time. It was also very reasonably priced. After tips, it was only $64 per person. We'll definitely come again.
