I ordered from this restaurant based on reviews from other Koreans saying this was authentic Korean food or that it tasted like food from Korea. It was way too overhyped. 3 stars for effort and it only being my first order from here. Who knows? Maybe another menu item would've been better. Their menu seems to be more (boonsik) themed but they do have a large selection of items (which I'm always apprehensive of at Korean restaurants since there's a lack of focus of type of food). I ordered the (jjajangmyun) and & (spicy squid kimbap & tonkotsu kimbap). The only came with (pickled radish) and no kimchi or onions. Each kimbap came with miso soup. - /Jjajangmyun: It contained a lot of onions and a few pieces of (pork). It looked promising, but the smell was different than what I expect from . When I tried it, the sauce was too sweet. I know to not order / from places that don't specialize in it, but I was giving it a shot. Next time I'll have to make sure to order something different instead. The was also oddly salty... and thankfully as a Korean I have kimchi at home so it helped eat the dish. - /kimbap: Lackluster. I'm usually never impressed by most kimbap other than one made by my mom, but this was subpar compared to most. The rice was a bit "soggy"--it didn't have the consistency of what rice should have. The /spicy squid one was decent. I wish there was some more squid in it though--there was a bit too much rice and other ingredients. The /tonkotsu one was not a fave. Somehow it brought out a staleness in the rice. Really underwhelmed this time around, but willing to try a different dish in the future for a trade off for this harsh review. read more

My husband discovered this place near his work and brought home some spicy tuna kimbob and skewer with sausage and ricecake. As a Korean kimbob is quiet tasty and loved the skewers. I love the ricecake (dduk) so much and it was pretty tasty and had interesting sauce. I think this place is pretty authentic and great to satisfy your Korean food needs. read more

Lim's Kitchen - Chicken Wings Near Me - Astoria, New York

So good! My husband and I found our new go to Korean place. Living in Astoria, we tried the few Korean options but still missing good traditional cuisine. Thanks to a Grubhub search during coronavirus, this LIC gem came up and so glad we tried it. Kimchi Jigae was spicy and fatty, kimchi bokeumbap was tasty and comforting (could have been a little spicier for our taste), tuna kimbap was fresh with sweet takuan. Chicken wings were a little disappointing considering that's where the bulk of the great reviews concentrated on. We ordered 10 wings but came as a combo, no big deal so my husband can try it but the drumsticks had a bit too much fried breading and not enough soy garlic sauce. Not a deal breaker, just didn't expect it. But the best part, they taped a thank you note on a free soda can with Happy Easter. So kind! Will be ordering again and excited to tell my Umma about it! **UPDATE** 1 week later Ordered here again and so thrilled this place exists. I could order the kimchi jigae everyday and my husband ordered the budaejigae this time and loved it. The ramen was packaged separately so it wouldn't get too soft in transit. Food was piping hot when it arrived. There was even some banchan included. The person delivering was so kind and thankful we ordered from them. And they left another note on a free soda and I burst out in tears. If you want comforting delicious korean food with kind owners, please order from here. read more

People of LIC and surrounding areas - if you like korean street food, you must try this place! Everything was very fresh and tasty and very well packaged. For those who live close enough, I recommend pick up since the order gets ready faster and the food will taste better if you get to it sooner :) Note - there is no store front but there is a bell to ring and Mr.Lim will open the door with your food. I would definitely order again and eat from Lim's place frequently. I love korean style picnic food (kimbob) and korean style park and dine food (sausage rice cake kochi) and chicken. No need to pack kimbob myself anymore lol Thanks for the yummy food. We'll be back soon! read more

This restaurant was 2 minutes away from our hotel at Lotus Blu Inn and so we decided to try it out. It was super empty at 5pm so we were a little reluctant but the service was amazing and food came out incredibly fast. Their jjajangmyon has amazing flavour - I wish the serving size was a bit bigger! The jjampong didnt have as much flavor but it came with a lot of seafood making it super value. read more

This place is really good and TBH I'm not always the biggest fan of Korean food. Everything I got was amazing and the prices weren't unreasonable. Worth trying! Oh, and thanks to gov Hochul... they now also sell beer! read more

They started off really good when they first opened. Recently all the soups have been utterly bland. How do you mess up kimchijjigae? Kimbaps are ok, big size but definitely overpriced. read more

I was in town visiting and wanted Asian food in the neighborhood so headed to Yelp. Lim's caught my eye the most because it seemed like a restaurant that has more of a narrow focus on foods they are really good at, which is their kimbap and wings, rather than a Korean restaurant that has every possible type of Korean food on the menu. If that makes sense. I ordered through Grubhub for takeout. I never got an email or text from Grubhub saying it was ready, but I headed over to Lim's a little early, maybe 10 minutes. There is a little door with a doorbell that says "ring me to pickup food". Someone came out with my food right away and I took it back to my room. This is still Covid times so I am not certain if they have a dining room or not? Anyway the food was delicious and the chicken was super crispy and delicious. Kimbap was great even the next day. read more

Lim's Kitchen - Wings with Sweet and Spicy Sauce Level 2 - Chicken Wings Near Me - Astoria, New York

Got takeout for Valentine's as was craving Korean fried chicken and kimbap - and it was SO GOOD The skin was crisp, and the meat was juicy. We got half honey garlic, half soy garlic - and I still like soy garlic better. We got the regular beef kimbap and it was really good too! Lots of filling, you can taste the hint of sesame oil and a hint of sweetness.. delish! As it was Valentine's day, they gave a little cute assortment of chocolates. Thanks, guys! read more

The boneless chicken was super juicy - got half honey garlic and Korean sweet and spicy lvl 2. The honey garlic is super delicious!!! The batter on the chicken is a little thick but the juiciness of the chicken makes up for it. The portions of the kimbap is huge, 1 would be more than enough for someone. The kimbap could use a little more seasoning. The place is a little hidden so it might be hard to locate. Overall the food was good, definitely recommend this place if you're looking for Korean homey food. read more

Lim was awesome! Comfort food, not overly seasoned like most restaurants. If you are liking for more homemade meals, Lim is a great place to try out! read more

I was waiting for a friend and got hungry near the Queens Plaza area. After typing in food on yelp, Lims's kitchen popped up. I wanted something fast and convenient to eat. Looking at the menu, the bulgogi ans tuna kimbap caught my attention. After placing the takeout on Yelp, I drove over in ten minutes. There was nobody outside in the seating area. I went to a door on the local street and saw to press the bell for pick orders. Surprisingly the order was ready and I was on my way. Food was subpar but def a quick easy bite to grab. Service was quick and I would come back for a sit down lunch. read more

I hardly write reviews but I HAD TO for Lim's kitchen!!! First- the man who delivered my food was so incredibly lovely. He thanked me for ordering and gave me the warmest smile and even bowed to me (Korean custom). This made me even more excited to eat!! The food was AMAZING!! I got rice cakes and bulgogi over rice and it's the best Korean food I've ever had! So flavorful and the perfect balance of spices. It arrived neatly packed and warm and just SO DELICIOUS!!!! Order from Lim's!!!!!! read more

Lim's Kitchen - Spicy Rice Cake()Bulgogi over Rice() - Chicken Wings Near Me - Astoria, New York

This place is really good if you're in LIC!!! I love their Kimbaps, they're all really affordable, really big, and really tasty! Definitely the best items on the menu! The rice cake (dokkbokie) is a little too saucy for my taste but if they reduced the liquidy sauce I'd love it a lot more! Their jajameong is realllyyyy good as well! Would def get it again! read more

The food here is sooooo good. I have tried soy garlic chicken wings from probably 10+ different restaurants now, and the ones here are by far my favorite. They're crispy, the soy garlic flavor has this extra depth of flavor that I can't pinpoint (wish I could so I could make my own). I love the tteokbokki too! It has really nice flavor and the rice cakes are cooked to perfection. Not much of a fan of the gimbap cause I thought it was rather dry. Do yourself a favor and order the soy garlic wings!! read more

Lim's Kitchen - Soy Garlic Wings + Bulgogi Kimbap - Chicken Wings Near Me - Astoria, New York

One of the best places for kimbap! We got Lim's kimbap, spicy tuna kimbap, bulgogi kimbap, and the vegan kimbap here. Our order also came with two complimentary miso soups and a packet of dried seaweed snack. The kimbaps were so delicious! They include plenty of vegetables and meat inside so it's quite filling. We had no trouble with the service and got our food fairly quickly. Would definitely come back to try out some of the other items they have on their menu. read more

Lim's Kitchen - Bulgogi Kimbap( ) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Astoria, New York

We ordered takeout from this place for the first time. The army soup was okay (it's hard to make this bad honestly) but my sister's donkatsu was not that great. It was super dry and stale. I don't know if it's because it was old or because it was so overcooked. It was hard to bite and break apart. What's more, usually donkatsu is served with a side of cabbage salad but this just came with sauce. And in comparison to the amount of meat given there really should have been more sauce given. I wanted to like this place more because it's so close to our apartment. Perhaps, we ordered the wrong things...it seems people have good experiences for kimbap dishes. But overall I was a bit disappointed unfortunately. Even the two banchan given - the shredded reddish "kimchi" was bland and honestly not that great (maybe it's cheaper than regular cabbage kimchi) and the odeng given was super dry and not that great. Maybe better luck next time read more

I was in the "area" (Queens) and wanted to properly try Korean food. Unfortunately the experience wasn't was great. I gave this place a 2 star review for the following reasons. 1. The outdoor dining area was dirty. The hostess came to clean the tables but the place was full of spiderweb and dried up dead flies. 2. No ventilation, no air flow. The windows are covered in plastic. So it felt like a sauna. 3. We had to ring a bell to get the hostess to come get our order and to pick up the food we had to go inside to get it. 4. The food was packed in individual tiny containers nothing labeled so we didn't know what was supposed to go on what. And the menu itself didn't have pictures of the food. I'm a visual person and that would have helped in choosing a better item. 5. No open beverages could be served, only bottled items. 6. I had forgotten that in NY in order to dine in you have to show proof of vaccination. I must say the hostess and waitress were friendly and nice. I wasn't going to leave a tip because I basically waited on myself but I left one anyways. The food was tasty and had flavor but the outdoor dining area was off puttting. I'm sure indoor dining would have been a different experience. read more

I don't usually write reviews but they wrote a cute little note and attached it on a seaweed snack saying "thanks for ordering" and "please give us a review," so here I am now! Couldn't find a spot that sold kimbab in the area until I stumbled on to this restaurant on DOORDASH. The kimbab was decent size and well worth the price. I ordered a spicy pork kimbab but they accidentally gave me bulgogi kimbab which I'm not even mad about it because it was just as good (I was just craving a little something spicy). Their bulgogi rice was super tasty and the rice was still soft when I received it. A lot of takeout restaurant's rice usually gets super hard and in clumps by the time it's delivered to me so that was a plus. The only downside was that it's a bit pricey for it but I didn't mind since I'm supporting my local restaurants in this time of crisis. Overall, tasty food. Good packaging. Would definitely order again and when indoor dining is resumed again, I would love to give the place a visit. read more

I got the chicken combo with half Korean sauce and half regular fried chicken. I really wanted to like it, but the chicken was honestly super dry and hard, like it was sitting for a whiiiile. The regular fried chicken was slightly more on the bland side, I had to fight the urge to reach for the ketchup bottle or another condiment in my fridge. The Korean sauce flavor honestly straight up tasted like gochujang - red pepper paste- mixed with a little sugar or something. I really miss eating Korean-style chicken in Korea so had some hopes for this plce, but unfortunately I was not super satisfied. The portion is not so bad, - I got the small combo which came with 2 drumsticks and smallllll pieces of wings. Mostly, the texture of the chicken and the sauce did not do it for me :( read more

WHAT??? They have Jajangmyeon on the menu now! I no longer have to go to Flushing to get my favorite noodles. It cost a few bucks more but that's LIC prices. 1. Lims Kimbap was very good. I like how it has less rice and more of the other ingredients. I give it 9.3 2. Jja Jang Myeon was very good too and the portion was generous. I give it 8.9 3. Spicy Pork over Rice was good overall, but a little too oily and not as spicy as i'd hoped. Portion was generous. I give it 8.4 read more

It's been always excellent experience here. I've never tried dine in at Lims but I always order delivery. I live one block away and food always deliver fast and fresh. Love everything I ordered. Food tasted always excellent. Kimbab, Spicy soup, fried chicken with very delicious sauce, spicy rice soup, and stir fried noodles. Highly recommend everyone to try Lims. Can't wait to dine in there! read more

My go to is a couple of Kimbaps and a spicy soup to help it all go down. One of my favorite places to get delivery

This is a new place in our neighborhood. This location used to be Crescent Grill. We actually really wanted to try it but it closed down before we got a chance. SPEED: Not sure if it's because we live minutes away from Lim's but delivery was super fast. 20 min! FOOD: We ordered the japchae, korean sweet and spicy wings; kimchi and pork and vegetable dumplings. The food smelled soo good as soon as we opened the bag. Only thing to note is we wish the dumplings came with a dipping sauce. Overall, everything was delicious! When we feel it's safe to go out to eat again, we would definitely go to Lim's. If not, then we would do take out again. They included a little thank you note with a Choco Pie to stay safe. Nice touch and gesture! read more

I love this place and been ordering from there couple times ever since we moved to LIC. Yesterday we ordered $100 worth of kimbap rolls but in one of the tuna ones I found these plastic pieces stuck right in the middle of the roll....one of them was so small I actually chewed on it while eating. This could have been bad if I had swallowed it without realizing. read more

Love this spot in LIC for delivery! I've had a couple of the menu items now and they never fail to impress. Each time I've received a very sweet handwritten note along with an extra goodie. Portion sizes are large which is a plus. My meals have always arrived before the estimated time too which has been awesome. I especially love the rice cake and sausage skewer along with the kimchi soft tofu stew. read more

I ordered the combo chicken with sweet and spicy sauce, spicy pork kimbap, and pork cutlet kimbap. It came with some pickled radish, some soup, and a choco pie with a thank you note. All the food was really good, but I liked the kimbaps the most. They were pretty easy to eat and tasted pretty good even after I took the leftovers home. Everything was packaged so nicely. Nothing spilled even after walking over to Roosevelt island. There's no outdoor seating, so delivery would probably be the best option. Would definitely return! read more

To my knowledge, this place opened up right around this whole covid craziness happened, and I cannot say this enough: what a WONDERFUL addition to LIC, and I say this with my WHOLE CHEST!! You can taste the authenticity in this food, made with all the steps like a grandma would make it, all without the insanely inflated prices you find in koreatown. They've got everything you crave that's korean: ooey gooey ddukbogi rice cakes, crispy crunchy sweet chicken wings, and heart warming tofu soups and fried rice/noodles. Our soy chicken wings were marvelously crispy without being greasy; they thoughtfully packed it so air could escape from the container without making the chicken soggy en route to your home. i also ordered a beef seafood soup, and it tasted exactly like the tofu soup i love and remember eating growing up; i had not been able to find a place that had that depth of flavor, but i am so thankful i can now purchase this just a few blocks from where i live. they also filled our order to the brim with banchan/appetizer/pickled side dishes and miso soup. Was not expecting to receive this much, but it really rounded out our meal. the kimbaps are great and affordable options to snack on or have a quick lunch as well. we got the shrimp tempura and the bulgogi bc i have no self control. i will thank myself later as i munch on them the rest of the week :) In our 100% accurate order, we even received a chocopie and seaweed with the sweetest handwritten thank you note. It was also prepared quite quickly (within 15 minutes!). When picking up your own food, head around to the side (there will be signs directing you where to go and what doorbell to ring). Right now they're only taking online orders through third party sites (Seamless, Yelp etc), so you can't call in orders from your personal phone. I sincerely, genuinely hope this place makes it through these terrible times and becomes a thriving staple of LIC. I literally just put away the leftovers from this wonderful meal and had to write this review. tl;dr You will not regret supporting this delicious kitchen; I can't wait to keep coming back again and again. read more

Our takeout order: 1. sausage & rice cake skewer - this was the bomb dot com (5/5) 2. seafood pancake - definitely had better, wasn't the worst and flavor was mild, it was just not it for me. (2/5) 3. spicy pork kimbap - rice to "stuffing" ratio was great. Good size & taste was clean (4/5) 4. pork cutlet - it was good but the sauce it came with was not my fav. It tasted something like a chicken gravy mixed with ketchup. It was just a little odd. Dipped ours in the jjajang sauce instead. (3/5) 5. udong jjajang (brown sauce) - 2 thumbs up! The udong noodles were genius. By the time we got home and poured our sauce over the noodles, they separated and took on the flavors really well. Flavor was good and next time I get a jjajangmyun craving, I'll know where to go. Overall price is a bit higher than I am used to but you are also getting pretty big portions so I can't really complain. When you have a pretty extensive menu, not everything is going be perfect. This was our first order and definitely not our last. It was good enough where I'd like to explore the menu more. read more
