Downtown Flushing, Flushing

Overall: Would recommend depending on the time of day. They serve you, so I would recommend coming…read moreat a time with less people since there are mixed reviews about service during peak hours, but this time their service was AWESOME (best service I've ever had at a restaurant). Everything 5/5, I would come back. Came here with my partner around 1PM on a Saturday for AYCE KBBQ at $43 per adult. Unlike other KBBQ joints, the servers cook for you here. Sorry, not as many pictures as I had hoped for because I got lost in the eating... lol. Ambience: On the outside, store was inconspicuous but on the inside there was quiet K-pop music, lighting was warm/soft, and there were not many people. Food: Sides and appetizers were unlimited. The julienne pickled radish and carrots were amazing. The GF loves cheese steamed egg but I don't eat dairy. I recommend the addicting fried rice cake. There were some dull lettuce leaves but most were vibrant appearing, everything was clean. For meats, we tried to go down the list for beef cuts but got too before we could try everything. We ordered - Thin cut brisket: My favorite cut especially to start with. Thin so it cooks fast, tender, not too fatty. Not marinated so goes well with salt and pepper. - Hanger steak: Not marinated but simple, classic, and great with salt and pepper. Some pieces were tougher than others. - Finger meat: Not a fan, maybe the tendons in the meat made it tough to chew and hard to eat with the lettuce wrap. - Soy marinated short rib: Good. Light sweet marinade that wasn't overpowering and retained the meaty flavor. - Soy marinated beef bulgogi: Decent. Would say the bulgogi definitely absorbed too much sauce and a little on the saltier side which kind of overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. Service: AMAZING, best service I've ever received at a restaurant. The server clearly took pride in his work. Recommended to us where to sit to not get splashed by oils from the grill. He anticipated all of our needs. He saw I was getting garlic out of my GF's plate and brought me a separate massive plate of garlic (I am a glutton). Gave us refills of appetizers and lettuce before we even ran out. Cooked everything for us and was attentive throughout the whole experience.

AYCE - the quality of the meat was surprise great. Esp loved the hanger steak…read more The kimchijigae was actually really good, I ordered twice. So much better than the soybean soup. Not a lot of sides (non-bbq dishes). But the service was great as they cook for you. Matthew was great!

Relatively new KBBQ replacing Jeong Yook, but the service here is UNMATCHED. The host & staff were…read moreall incredibly kind and attentive, and service was really well paced unlike most other KBBQ spots. We never felt rushed even though they were busy. It was a bit drafty at the table closest to the doors, but the host was super accommodating and willing to switch our table. He also provided us with some hot tea while we waited - so considerate! We decided on the Mixed Combo B for 2, which comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, brisket, and marinated short ribs. All of the meats are really good. I'm not the biggest fan of pork shoulder, but this was good here! Kimchi stew always hits different at BBQ spots, and Golden Pig's is delicious. We ordered an extra to go! They don't have a takeout menu yet, but the staff was kind enough to pack us some kimchi and rice anyway. Banchan here is simple but done really well. All orders are put in on the tablet at each table. While the layout of the restaurant is still very much similar to Jeong Yook and Baekjeong previously, it's definitely an upgrade. Ventilatation is pretty good but be prepared to still smell a bit after. Prices are super reasonable. Parking is doable but not always the easiest. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Came here late night around 11pm as a group of 8. They had plenty of seating around this time and…read morewe got seated immediately. Tables were clean and I loved how the chairs can open up and you can put your things inside. We ordered seafood pancake, japchae, combo C Wagyu beef, pork jowl meat, army stew, and fried mushroom with sweet and sour sauce. The combo came with steamed egg and your choice of Kimchi stew/soybean paste stew. I have to say everything was delicious, quality was amazing you can see the nice marbling on their meats! Sometimes when I go to a kbbq, some meats are just meh and tough to eat. But everything was so good. My favorite meat was the marinated short rib. The servers cooked for us and asked us how done we liked our meat and they constantly refilled our kimchi and side salads as well. They provided hot tea and cold water for us too which were stored in really nice carafes. Little small details in this place just elevated the experience for me. I would definitely come back! I think price was very reasonable for a kbbq place as well!

I was so busy eating and yapping, I forgot to take any photos. I went on a rainy night during the…read moreweek and the place never filled up, just a couple of tables. The location is the upstairs of a dim sum place that use to have the first floor and second floor. This place use to have the best dim sum. I didnt know they turned the upstairs into a bbq place. The vents are built under the table so you have to be careful getting up bc there is a step. Good ventilation- I didnt smell of bbq when I left. My only gripe is the portions they serve are huge- I would rather smaller portions so you can try more of a variety. Staff was very attentive and cooked everything for you. Sauce station could be cleaner- there was literally 8 people at the whole time I was there. Dessert selections could be better too. It is a bit pricey.

I came here for a medical dinner program where they brought out about 10-12 different dishes…read morethroughout the evening. The food itself was actually very good and you could tell the ingredients were high quality, especially when they brought out the Wagyu beef for the hibachi. Unfortunately the experience was very disorganized. Our group was seated in the back rooms that can accommodate large groups, and the service felt rushed and uncoordinated. The staff rarely explained what dishes were being served, so most of the time we weren't even sure what we were eating. When the chef started cooking the Wagyu beef hibachi-style, there was no explanation about the cuts or types of Wagyu being served, which was disappointing because that's usually part of the experience. Overall the food was good, but the service and communication really took away from the evening. I might consider coming back in the future, but I'd probably sit at one of the tables in the front and order directly so the experience feels more organized and interactive
