We came here because the restaurant we had chose was closing in an hour and didn't want to seat us. We found this place was open and near by and what was a necessity for food turned into a blessing! The radios volume was decent, had a fun disco ball and fake cherry blossoms everywhere it was so cute! Everything was so amazing
Palmi was amazing! She was quick and attentive to my needs and the patrons around me. She was extremely patient as well. She was efficient with the pick up people too. Really held her on. I was super hungry so I already ate a lot of the wings before taking the picture but the chicken is good. The sweet Korean sauce was hot enough. I got that and honey garlic. Both were good. The sweet Korean sauce was my favorite of the two. This is a nice place that I'd bring a date too. Or have a business meeting. It's not a fast food place at all. I saw many businessmen coming in and out during my wait for my order to go. I ordered the 10 piece wings.
Wow! My boyfriend and I came here around 10pm on a cold Saturday night and were amazed by how amazing everything was! The space is extremely clean and nice with lots of open space. The food was incredible! Great authentic Korean street food with so much flavor and freshness, we couldn't stop talking about how pleasantly surprised we were! Our waitress was so sweet and even wrote a handwritten note at the end of the meal with some free chocopie for dessert :). Will 100% be back and recommend it to everyone.
Maybe I went here on an off day (it was 15°F), but this place is somehow a hidden gem in LIC! The food was delicious with a very satisfying array of options. The ordering interface, while quick and efficient, did not interfere with their EXCELLENT customer service! The prices are fair and the BOGO drink deal is a steal! I enjoyed 2 Korean Pilsners for the price of one and some SUCCULENT bulgogi in fried yam noodles. So so good! In addition to the great food and service, the restaurant itself is beautiful. Chic, modern, and clean with lively neon lights and music videos playing various screens. Definitely fun for a light date or a few rounds with the boys. Again, I'd like to reiterate how welcoming and attentive the staff here is. Ultimately, I wish I took a photo of my food. It was so good, it was gone by the time I could think of taking one. So here's a photo of my crisp beer lol. I'll be back!!
On a recent trip to Queens to pick up some artwork and visit the Louis Armstrong Museum (yes it really is in Corona Queens and amazing) we stopped at Lims. It wasn't very busy so service was fine. You actually order from an iPad on table, the waitress confirms and next thing you know you have delicious food. I had pork GimBap and kimchi. Both well made and tasty. My wife had a vegetable rice noodle dish that was truly phenomenal. My Japanese Kagua Rouge Belgian Strong Dark ale was a perfect malty foil to the Korean food. On the way out our waitress thanked us for coming and gave us whoopee pies with thank you notes attached.....a nice touch
I'm leaving a review because i feel that they had treated me with more courtesy and respect then most restaurants would. They had food that reminded me of when traveled to south korea and had fried chicken there. They had a big prop from squid game, that you can take photos with and looks just like it was in the movie and had good lighting and good cool ambiance
Incredible service & ambiance. The Kimchi Stew was delicious and hit the spot in a rainy day. Grateful for this little gem in the neighborhood. Definitely will come back to try more stuff on the menu.
Amazing meal for a late night food delivery post flight. Super hearty soups and comes with good radish kimchi, white rice, and comes super quickly! Also packaged super nicely! If you have any late night cravings for Korean food, this is the go to
Drive too fast and you'll miss it. Everyone's reviews are pretty much spot on. From what I was told it's just a giant kitchen making delicious Korean food. Soy garlic drumsticks were damn good. Flavorful, crispy and the soy garlic your taste buds recognize. Spicy rice cake hit the spot. As good as any restaurant on Northern Blvd or K-town. All the Kimbaps were on point. Both the bulgogi and spicy pork ones were good. Found my new authentic neighborhood Korean spot for good eats. read more
I love Korean food and was so happy to finally find a Korean spot open up in LIC! Lim's appears to have a fairly robust menu with many Korean staples that I look forward to trying. On my first order today, I tried the fried chicken sandwich and tuna kimbap. Both were great! Each item was $8, an awesome value for the quality. The sandwich in particular was great and something I'd definitely order again. Delivery was very quick too with the food still warm. Only downside was I didnt actually order tuna kimbap, but instead bulgogi kimbap. Not going to deduct a star as I'm sure it was an honest mistake and it was still good, but hopefully they get the order right next time. read more
We have lived in this area for almost 2 years and cannot believe we have only recently tried this place. Our go to takeout spot use to be Famous Xian Foods but since that burned down we needed a new one and Lim's takes the spot for us. Everything was so good and reasonably priced and we are so excited to have a delicious Korean spot by us! I have been watching a lot of K dramas too so the craving has been real. We ordered the seafood pancake, black bean noodles, korean fried chicken, rice cake and dumpling soup. We would order every single item again. The fried chicken's sauce was so good and was still hot after being delivered to us. The rice cake and dumpling soup had a ton of rice cakes in it and the broth was very tasty. I am no black bean noodle expert but I thought the mild sweetness to the sauce was good and with takeout they separate the sauce and noodles so you can save the sauce for another helping of noodles! Seafood pancake had generous amount of seafood in it and was thick and you can easily just pan fry the leftovers and it's good as new! We will be definitely getting takeout here more often! read more

The tteokboki was on point. It's not too sweet like most places and they give a decent size. The kimbap was also packed, I wish it had more sesame flavor but for LIC I thought this was great. They also gave a choco pie. Note: there is no storefront it's just a sign that says lims and then their is a door knob you ring. read more
Received our takeout right before they closed! But their kimpaps were really delicious and fresh! We got the Bulgogi Kimbap, Spicy Pork Kimbap, and Kimchi Kimbap! My personal favorite was the kimchi! They also gave us a free coffee drink with our order! read more
There are definitely certain foods that really hit the spot on a cold winter day: noodle soups, hot pot, chicken noodle soup, and Korean stews make the list for me as well (basically any kind of hot soup, the clear common denominator here). Soondubu Jjigae or Korean Tofu Soup/Stew has a good number of variations that are all pretty bomb depending on what you're in the mood for. So while craving Korean (not their fried chicken this time), we ordered the following items: Haemul Pajeon (seafood pancake), Japchae (glass noodles with beef bulgogi and vegetables) plus the seafood Soondubu Jjigae. We ordered this for delivery and soups can be a bit tricky sometimes. This was packaged pretty well, in a separate plastic tub with a plastic bag in case of leakage. Our order also came with some cute banchan: a small mac salad, fish cake slices and pickled daikon. This was also a nice touch especially for delivery. Now onto the food! The banchan were decent with our favorite being the mac salad. We were also pleased with the pancake though it wasn't as crisp post transit which was expected. The Japchae held up nicely and was very tasty. The bulgogi was cut in smaller pieces, well seasoned and complemented the noodles and vegetables with its light sauce. I poured my soondubu into a separate bowl so it'd be easier to eat and really enjoyed this too! It was just the right amount of spicy for me (the bf felt it was a little much) and had a good amount of seafood in it. As I was halfway through I was sad since I remembered there's usually an egg on top and wasn't sure where that went. Shortly after I found it at the bottom of the container! I really like that the soup is spicy because both types of heat really warm you up and leave you with a pleasant feeling in your stomach. I saw Lim's had a kimchi version, dumpling version and several other soondubus as well so I'm excited to order from them again and would recommend trying them out whether it's via delivery or if you're in the area! I know their kim bap seem very popular and I can't speak to it but would definitely want to try it in the future! Happy to add another place to the list of regulars. read more
Ordered delivery from here for lunch one day and everything was delicious. Delivery was very quick and the food packaging was excellent (no spills with the 2 soups that came with the orders) and the plastic container for the spicy pork bibimbap is very large which makes it very easy to mix everything, just add the rice and spicy red paste, close the lid and shake it up! It also comes with a couple small sides, including a soup, which was great. The bulgogi kimbap was also amazing and I highly recommend. I'll definitely be ordering from Lim's again and I'm looking forward to stopping into the restaurant if I'm in the area. read more
I order from here quite frequently via seamless and ubereats. As a Korean myself, it's important for me to indulge in Korean food and one that is tasty! I've tried probably all of my limited options here and good food is hard to come by. The best homemade Korean food in the area. Highly recommend! Really a jewel that I have found this amazing place. The restaurant staff is always quick, friendly, & do a excellent job!! They always throw in extra side dishes and are quicker than the ETA. LOVE! Thank you for being so top tier!! read more

I'm so happy because a delicious Korean restaurant just opened in my neighborhood! Everything I tried was amazing--chicken, 소떡소떡(sausage and rice cake skewers), and kimchi pancakes. But the real surprise? The jjambbong was even better than the ones in Flushing's famous Chinese restaurants! I don't usually leave reviews, but the food was so good that I had to share this. Wishing them great success! read more
One of my favorite delivery places, the quality was always great from this place. The jjajangmyeon was a personal favorite of mine, but their spicy pork, bulgogi and kimchi jjigae were also excellent. read more

Hi Jessica, we are so grateful that you took time out of your day to…
I cant tell if they've reopened the in-store dining so we opted to order delivery. Overall everything was quite good but slightly expensive -- but perhaps that might be because we ordered delivery? Looking forward to dining in so we can try more things! We got: - jjajangmyun 9/10: quite saucy so i appreciated it since sometimes the sauce is too thick or not sufficient. - yukgaejang 9/10: not very spicy but the flavors are all there - spicy tuna kimbab 9/10: also not spicy at all and i loved how big the size was read more

Delicious kimbap and japchae! Ordered for pickup and was excited to see everything ready upon arrival (about 10-20 minutes). The japchae was delicious and I ordered bulgogi and shrimp tempura kimbap. I have had better kimbap but cannot complain. Staff was friendly and gave us a coupon to return for a free pint of beer Indoor dining is opening up so stop by soon! read more
**Delivery Review** Friday night, was able to put an order in through Uber eats for this distant restaurant. Interesting menu of Korean favorites with its own twist. Decided on the Bulgogi Kimbap ($10) as well as the 5wing/3drumstick Chicken Combo ($16). Food arrived in about an hour, still warm and packed tightly with all the food. First up, the kimbap is sliced into 10 sections - similar to a sushil roll but stuffed with bulgogi meat. Basically a rice bowl in a singular bite - but without any of the accompanying sauces (thankfully had some chili sauce at home). Chicken combo is a hefty box of fried chicken marinated in a sweet/spicy sauce. Not overly breaded and the spice level is just right. Dishes also came with some miso soup and a white vegetable that were more of an afterthought. Value is just right for the amount of food you get. Hoping for a fresh taste in-person at some point. read more

Ordered the seafood soft tofu stew delivery and it was on-time on a super windy day. Thank you! The portion is great and it also comes with generous side dishes (fish cake and kimchi). The dish itself comes with rice. The store owner is very sweet. They hand-wrote a thank-you note and paste it on a seaweed snacks. The tofu quality is very good. The fish cake side dish reminds me of the street food from Korea. I will definitely be coming back! Great service with a good price point in LIC. read more
I don't know why but I was craving kimbap for the longest time, and after I stumbled across Lim's Kitchen, I just could not shake that craving off! I was in the area and decided to swing by for a late lunch/early dinner at 4pm. I placed my order via the Yelp app. This isn't a place that you can go in and order so definitely make sure you call your order in or place it online. I ordered the Bulgogi Kimbap (~$9) and Shrimp Tempura Kimbap (~$9). They said it would take about 15-20 minutes and by the time I got there, it was ready! I called them and they brought the food down to me, and I was on my way! Each Kimbap order comes with a side of Miso Soup which I thought was a nice touch! It was warm, light, and went well with the kimbap. The Kimbap aka a Korean Sushi Roll was made beautifully and loaded with the typical ingredients you would expect! I like that it wasn't overpowering with rice. They even threw in a dessert cookie which was a nice gesture. I was surprisingly full from these 2 orders, considering I shared it with 2 other people. Don't be fooled by how small they are because they are packed and bursting with flavor. If you're in the Astoria/LIC area looking to curb that Korean food craving, check out Lim's! read more
Got takeout from here during COVID. When my husband went inside to pick up the order, he noticed that no one was wearing masks, including the person doing the cooking!! Big no no. So because of that, I would probably not come here again. As for the food, we split the spicy chicken burger first. It was very very very thin, with no more than a centimeter thick of chicken, and with about twice as much breading as chicken. The flavor was good, but I would much rather get a cheaper and heartier chicken sandwich from Popeyes. The bulgogi and spicy pork kimbap were good. The flavor was good, but I do wish the rice wasn't as hard... The one sweet thing they did though was give us some complimentary miso soup and seaweed, and left us a cute note. But again I would probably not come here anytime soon. read more

My stomach wasn't feeling too good for a few days and the first thing I was craving was Korean food. Found this spot and it's my new/only spot for Korean food in long island city... The chicken wings was crispy/juicy... The tuna kimbap and the seafood pancake was both good. Now my appetite is all back now ;) Appreciate the note/coffee too. It's the little touches that makes all the difference in service. Rooting for you to succeed during this time. read more

This place was so good! Everything just hit the spot. The food came hot and ready! The proportions are also very big! I loved the Korean pancakes as well. We ate the kimbap, bulgogi bowl, and kimchi fries! Worth all your money!!! Would eat here again! read more

Ordered takeout after discovering it on a food app during a craving for Korean food, to find it just recently opened in the area during these unfortunate times. Not only is this the first Korean restaurant I'm aware of in the LIC Court Square/Hunter's Point area, but it's actually, truly legitimate Korean! With no exaggeration, I can say it belongs with the best you can find in Ktown. I ordered the fried chicken, rice cakes (+ cheese, which is a trend now), japchae, and seafood pancake. Admittedly, my expectations weren't that high, but the food was top-notch. In addition, they threw in some covid freebies with our delivery and a little handwritten thank you note, which is strangely heartwarming. 100% recommend this new haunt in the neighborhood. read more

I'm happy I found this restaurant for my Kimbap cravings! Process of ordering and pick up: I did takeout via ordering through the grub hub app. The order was ready for pick up at the beginning the estimated time. For pick up, you ring their doorbell and they bring your order to you. I ordered bulgogi, tuna, and kimchi Kimbap. Each Kimbap order came with a miso soup. They were freshly made and delicious. My favorite one is the kimchi Kimbap, i liked the mix of the pickled daikon crunch and sweetness along with the salty and spicy kimchi. Yum! read more

Just ordered from Lim's today and had to write a review as soon as we finished. What we ordered: Seafood soondubu stew - I think they forgot to add any salt because it was extremely bland. Wasn't a big deal since we can just add the salt ourselves but also add as much as we wanted. The flavor of the soup was there, just needed some salt. Kimchi stew - the quality of the kimchi seemed a little off. Was kinda hard/chewy. But like the soondubu stew, the flavor was there, quite tasty. Spicy tuna kimbap - pretty decent kimbap. Wasn't anything special but still good. Wish it came with a side of kimchi though. Spicy rice cake - this was definitely the highlight of our order. The consistency and chewiness of the rice cake was absolutely PERFECT. Didn't taste or feel like it was previously frozen or in the fridge for a long time at all. Literally felt like the rice cakes were made fresh today. Most definitely will be ordering from here more often just for the rice cakes as well as trying out their other menu items. The cute note (which is really what got me to write this review) and the complimentary chocopie is what makes them stand out from the rest. read more

*suggestion- instead of miso soup I would like a side of kimchi with my To-go order. Especially in the summer when it's hot out. I tried the kimbap and dumplings both were great! Looking forward to trying more options next time. read more

I ordered from them today and just had to write a review. I live in manhattan so the prices of Lim's kitchen's korean food are so much more affordable than Ktown. The food was amazing and the delivery was fast! I got the fried chicken (spicy 2 and soy garlic). Both of which were fantastic. Also got the ddeokbukgi and kimbap. I think all of their prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is very high. Would recommend going/ordering from here for delicious, reasonably priced Korean food. read more

It's great. Especially the chicken wings. I like the kimpab as well and will try other flavor next time. This restaurant is worth trying. I've ordered in this restaurant many times. I love its fried chicken regardless of wings or boneless chicken. It's a great Korean restaurant. read more
