It definitely lived up to our memories, we ended up coming back twice in one week! Between our visits, we ordered the Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork, the Layoo Dweji-Gomtang with extra pork (spicy version), Kimchi Mandoo, Gabrisal Soyuk (pork collar meat), and the So-Bbol Gomtang (beef cheek, brisket, and tripe). Everything was delicious, but the standout for us was the pork collar meat. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and an absolute must-order. The portions are just the right size, and the restaurant has a fast-casual feel, making it perfect for a quick meal without sacrificing quality. Our kids especially loved the original Dweji-Gomtang. After trying both versions, I personally prefer the original pork soup over the spicy Layoo version, although both were excellent. The complimentary kimchi deserves a special mention - it was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect accompaniment to the soups. The Kimchi Mandoo also had a nice spicy kick while still being packed with flavor. We noticed a lot of the guests were ordering the Lard Donkatsu, so that's definitely on our list for our next visit. Safe to say we'll be back again and again!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 I have been to the original location in K-Town. Though I did find the signature soup somewhat light in flavor and the menu a bit too small, I had a good overall experience. Therefore, I still gave it four stars for the unique and elegant aspects of this restaurant that's specializing in really one item. On this latest visit to the newer Bayside branch, I definitely enjoyed this location more. The main reasons are that they have a large selection of menu items and it's not as busy. As for the food, here is my ratings and comments for everything we tried. Dweji-gomtang (7.5/10) - I came here with my parents because they have to intake less sodium, so this light and clean broth was perfect for them. I personally added some salt to bring out the flavor of the soup. The thinly sliced pork tasted awesome in the wasabi dipping sauce. So-Bbol Gomtang (7/10) - Another extremely clean soup, but this time it's beef based. Unfortunately, compared to many other Korean beef soups I have had over the decades, this one was less flavorful. The beef cheek, brisket and tripe were all great though. Lard Donkatsu (8.5/10) - This was the highlight of our meal. What deliciously juicy and tender thick cut pieces of pork fried to perfection. Not greasy and super crispy. The accompanying potato salad and shredded cabbage were both fantastic too. Ebi Katsu (8/10) - Little appetizer that was well made and tasty. Crispy panko outside, bouncy small whole shrimps on the inside, paired wonderfully with the fairly acidic tartar sauce was delightful. Kimchi Mandoo (6.5/10) - I am generally not a mandoo fan, even after trying some of the more famous ones in South Korea. I do think the thin skin on these mandoo are excellent, with a slight chew. However, I don't like the finely diced filling. The standout flavor of the kimchi also masks everything else. Can't really taste the pork. Mung Bean Pancake (6.5/10) - I had really good ones in Korea and these didn't really compare. I wish it was more crispy and had a more savory flavor. As for service, Jay was very attentive even though he was handling the entire bar on his own. An example was refilling my tea cup several times when it became half full. Honestly, he was so busy taking care of everything that I didn't expect him to do so when the tea pot was right in front of me. Anyway, he was excellent. Lastly, we met Chef Ok, who was in the store for a while before leaving for the Manhattan branch. My parents and I really enjoyed watching Netflix's Culinary Class Wars, so I told him that we saw him on season 2. He was very friendly and took pictures with all the patrons in restaurant. Anyway, if I feel like a good fried katsu in Queens, this is now my new go to spot. I also believe my parents will want to come back for the light and clean soups. Either way, we'll be back.

When you first walk in, there is an unpleasant smell, and the restaurant can feel very disorganized. But the main reason I'm writing this review is because of a recent experience that was extremely disturbing. There was a ROACH crawling on my table. It was absolutely disgusting and completely ruined my experience. I understand that things can happen, but seeing a roach crawling on the table where I was eating is unacceptable. I really hope management takes this seriously and addresses the cleanliness and organization of the restaurant.

I went all in with their crispy juicy fried dumpling, grilled mackerel, cheese dak-galbi set (showstopper), and the top blade beef steak. No regrets. Every dish came out solid, flavorful, and lowkey addictive. If you made it this far, just know this... I'm 100% coming back... probably sooner than I should. Great service and great for groups.

You know after a meal like this, you're gonna be full. Generous portions and very comforting meal. Specializing in Korean Chinese food, Joong Koog Jip is a comforting and solid spot to order your favorite Korean-Chinese dishes. It actually translates to Chinese House in Korean! - Jjajangmyeon - noodles in black bean sauce.

The pork is crunchy, crispy, and covered in a jellylike sweet and sour dipping sauce - Jjamppong - spicy seafood noodle soup. Same noodles as the jjajangmyeon, except in a red, hot, savory, spicy broth. Inside, there's shrimp, onions, squid, and mussels. It's rich, hearty, savory, spicy, and really slurpable. Another highlight of this meal is the post-meal dessert. You get balls of crispy candied fried dough, glazed in honey. It's sweet and crunchy, chewy and airy inside.
