Abalone Porridge & Abalone & Ginseng & Chicken Porridge. Really delicious and fulfilling!!!
Claire H.

I love porridge and boy am I glad I found this spot! We tried the abalone porridge and abalone+chicken porridge and they were delicious! Very good flavor and really delicious side dishes. Excellent service, they were so kind and warm. I will be back for more!

Abalone Rice Porridge :]

Amazing rice porridge place. It's as traditional as it can get. The several times I've been there it has never really been busy (since most people usually do take out). For those who have never been here, when you walk in, there will usually be nobody there to seat you. So, just go to a table and sit yourself down. They'll realize that you're there and bring you menus. The price is a bit on the steeper side when it comes to rice porridge, but it is definitely worth the extra dollars. From the several types I've tasted, I would definitely go with the Abalone Rice Porridge. Abalone is somewhat of a prized possession (for Koreans) when it comes to seafood. So, it explains the $16.95 price tag on the dish. The tray comes out with a huge bowl, three s (side dishes) consisting of kimchi (spicy fermented cabbage)/pieces of marinated beef in soy sauce/ (pickled squid), a refreshing bowl of radish/pear soup, and a small bowl with extra rice porridge (the one you ordered). Since the side dishes are bit more flavorful and salty, it goes nicely with the rice porridge. The small bowl is usually used, since the big bowl takes longer to cool off. So, if you don't want to burn every inch of the insides of your mouth, the small bowl is there for you to take small portions from the big bowl. I promise it's useful. Also, there are no other food items that aren't rice porridges, so keep in mind that this restaurant only carries rice porridges on their menu. An added bonus is that there is a (Korean side dish) shop right next to the restaurant. So, once you're finished, you can visit that place to shop for a variety of different side dishes. They're all delicious for a very good price. I believe it's 30 percent off after 7 PM. But, they do sell out fast (especially the rice cakes). The only downside to the restaurant would be parking. But, when isn't that the downside to all the restaurants in the Flushing/Queens area? So, if you can overlook that, then this place is a go-to. Why? Well, I've never really liked rice porridge...and now I'm writing a review about a restaurant that only carries rice porridges. Yeap. Enjoy!

Interior is modern and feels very eco-friendly

Thank the lawd almighty for this place when I had the flu! I went around ALL the spots near this area and no one had Juk. They all told me to come here and I'm glad I did. This place feels family run but the ambiance and quality of food is top notch. I asked for chicken and veggie Juk, which wasn't on their menu and they happily accommodated. They also priced it the same as one of their similar dishes, which also made me happy. I was able to eat twice off from only one serving of Juk. I'm so glad there is a spot that serves traditional Juk that reminds me of Umma's cooking. Prices may deter some folks away but you have to think about quality and the actual costs of the business! Is it worth it? Yes.

Not much to say about rice porridge. But if you like Korean porridge, this is the place to go in NYC.

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.

Great dining experience in Flushing where it can feel chaotic and busy…read more Friendly staff and open space. There's parking in the back but not too bad finding street parking. Very comfortable space to dine as a family of four and if you are a larger group, they have a great space on the side for larger parties. The bahn chan was delicious, especially the egg. Tofu was soft and good flavor in the plain broth. Grilled mackerel was delicious. Few places make it less salty without asking and theirs was spot on! Bibimbap had good flavor without needing to add the sauce. Enjoyable meal. Would definitely come 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.

Honestly, sometimes you just want Korean food without having to trek all the way to Flushing or…read moreMain Street. This is kind of my go-to when I'm craving some good, traditional Korean food, whether it's bibimbap, galbi, tofu soup, bossam, or whatever else catches my eye. My husband especially loves their cold beef soba soup, which is honestly perfect to have after Korean BBQ! Food: 5/5 If you're looking for Korean comfort food with really good banchan, this is the place to be. I always love their kimchi, and they usually have mung bean sprouts, pickled radish, and other little side dishes to go with your meal. You know I love a good banchan spread, and they do a great job of giving you plenty of little things to enjoy alongside your food. Out of everything I've had here, my favorites are still the bossam and the cold beef soba soup. They're just such a good combination, and they really hit the spot when I'm craving authentic Korean food. But don't let that stop you from trying other things on the menu! Their mandu are also worth getting, especially if you're newer to Korean food and want to try something delicious without getting too adventurous right away. Vibes: 5/5 I'm not gonna lie, this isn't the trendiest restaurant or the newest spot on the scene. But it has that old-fashioned Korean diner vibe that's honestly hard to hate. It just makes me feel so comfortable being here. You can chillax, take your time, and enjoy your food without feeling like you need to rush off somewhere else. I love the little placemats they use as menus, and the aunties are always super nice. Honestly, it's just a cozy little experience that makes me happy. You order your food, it comes out, and then you get to sit back and enjoy. Sometimes, that's really all I want from a restaurant! All in all, I'd definitely come back! It's also pretty easy to get to, especially if you take the Q44 Select Bus Service, which connects places like Flushing-Main Street and the Bronx Zoo. Having a solid Korean spot that's convenient to get to is always a plus.

We specifically requested less fatty pieces, and the kitchen accommodated our request perfectly. Pairing the pork with their delicious side dishes made for the perfect bite. We also tried the seafood pancake, which was wonderfully crunchy and packed with flavor. Great food and excellent service--we will definitely be back!

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.
