I was looking for a nice Korean pizza spot and this one had everything I could ask for. Off the end of the 7 (with a bit of a walk) in Flushing, Mahsil had amazing service that is dog friendly (if you sit outside) we got the Cajun fries that came with this sweet molasses like dipping sauce - wasn't a fan favorite but I really enjoyed this one! Then th fried chicken we got the half and half drumsticks for soy garlic and the sweet and spicy and they were both really delicious, juicy, and sweet! The size of the drumsticks really made my moneys worth! And for the Korean pizzas we got the half and half as well - the Mahsil and the potato - with the golden crust which was my favorite part of it. I will say their signature pizza was more delicious than the potato pizza but overall Korean pizzas are just so good - not too oily, crispy, and savory! This is a great spot to come back to whenever I am in Flsuhing and need a good Korean pizza and chicken combo!

Mahsil Pizza Golden Crust
Camille R.

I can't believe I haven't written a review yet for Mahsil, our absolute favorite Korean food spot! We've been coming here for a long time, and they've never let us down. The staff is always friendly, the place is clean and well-kept, and most importantly, the food is consistently spot-on and delicious. I always order the Korean fried chicken in spicy soy garlic -- I swear I could eat this all day. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Their cheese tteokbokki is another must-order. The cheese overload pairs so well with the spiciness of the gochujang sauce -- such a satisfying combo. The pizza with sweet potato edges is a family favorite and a fun twist that everyone loves. My son always orders the bibimbap doria, which honestly reminds me so much of Pizza Hut Philippines (just taste it -- IYKYK!). It's comforting, cheesy, and nostalgic. We also enjoy the rose pasta -- creamy, garlicky, and really well done. And the fish cake soup is perfect for colder days, filled with meats and veggies and so comforting. We're basically regulars at this point, and one of the best things about Mahsil is the consistency. Same great flavors, same quality, every single visit. Highly recommend if you're craving solid Korean comfort food!

fried crispy boneless chicken
Anyu L.

Cutest restaurant in Murray Hill with amazing lighting. A huge drink selection. My partner and I ordered three items and they were all delicious. We ordered a medium classic potato pizza, crispy boneless fried chicken, and a mussel soup. The potato pizza was good. Very cheesy, but i would probably try out another flavor next time since it wasn't mind blowing, very standard. Mussel udon soup was amazing in this cold NYC weather, warmed me up. They are not stingy with their mussels... I couldn't even count. The broth was flavorful and aromatic. Boneless fried chicken was so good, tender and juicy. The server was super nice and offered different dipping sauces, our favorite was the spicy mayo and the honey mustard. Servers were super attentive and helpful, they also have great music taste (a lot of kpop). Overall, would come back and try other items on the menu.

Sweet potato gratin
Shashi R.

Korean restaurant with creative take on pizza, fried chicken, pasta and others. Ratings: The Mahsil pizza 9/10 Tons of flavor packed into this pizza. The golden crust is stuffed with sweet potato and the dough is nicely fried to form an amazing crust. It features a lot of toppings and they are fantastic. Sweet potato gratin 9/10 Perfectly cooked sweet potato covered by a layer of baked cheese. This is so sweet and savory it's crazy. The soft texture of the sweet potato with the slightly crispy crust of the baked cheese go together in harmony. This dish can be used for anything including a pizza topping, loaded fries topping, or as a dip. Kimchi fries 7/10 Standard order of fries topped with minced kimchi, spicy mayo. It's decent but nothing special. The flavors don't combine or form a new dish, the kimchi flavor and the fries don't blend.

Solid place. Definitely a place you'd go for if you want a pub like food and affair. People are super nice and accommodating. We were the only ones sitting outside and people can out periodically if we needed anything which was great. There have been places ive gone to in similar scenarios and was completely forgotten until someone went in to order/get checks/refill water. Food was so filling and so satisfying. The pizza is reminiscent of pizza I've gotten in east Asia. If you come in thinking typical NY pizza, better go to the other pizza joints around because you'd be disappointed. These were more over-the-top and i love it. They are also very filling, cheesy and plenty of toppings. The corn tastes like the cheese corn in KBBQs and chives def cuts through the amount of cheese they put. I can usually eat an entire large NY pizza pie, but these were so loaded, I could only eat half. And the large pizzas here equate to a medium pizza anywhere else. We also got hamburg steak which we didn't realize came in twos. However we already filled up with the pizza that we barely touched it. Tho even then they were pretty solid and juicy patties. Everything amounted to $55 for 2, but we had enough leftovers for a third or forth person. And they do allow dogs but outdoor space only.

I had a wonderful time dining at Mahsil. The food was solid though we ordered some dishes we probably didn't need. We got the fried corn balls, sweet potato crust pizza, and fried chicken wings. The fried corn balls sounded good but there wasn't anything special to them (probably would prefer cheese corn over this). The pizza was also good. The sweet potato ended up being puree that they piped along the crust, not the crust being made out of sweet potato which I was expecting. The fried chicken was delicious. The service was a little slow as we waited a long time for our check or dishes to be cleared. The food came out fast. Ambiance is casual as they have beer fridges where you can buy beer that is affordably priced.

We had a fairly solid experience at Mahsil. They have plenty of choices and their Korean-style pizza menu is impressive. We went with the sweet potato crust for our BBQ Chicken Pizza, which does come with a cheese crust too. Definitely eat this as soon as the pizza comes out piping hot for the best experience! The sweet potato nuggets were fine. I do wish it was a lighter batter, but that's my preference. It does need some sort of better sauce that pairs with it, and ketchup is not the one. Seriously, this one little swap here will make this appetizer far more worth ordering for the table. The rose pasta was tasty as well, with plenty of shrimp (even some shrimp heads for people who believe in sucking the juices out of them). I didn't try the hamburger steak as it had pork in it, but was interesting to see they came with two types of sauces. I'd get this every time if they had a 100% beef version, and I wouldn't mind less meat if it means better quality. I'd also prefer they swap the American cheese for something better, maybe cheddar or mozzarella, with the tiniest scoop of rice. But what do I know. They had Kpop playing on TV, but I was secretly sad they muted it to play some old '00s pop and dance songs. Oh well, nothing that takes away from the food. Overall, portions here were generous, staff were friendly, and food was delicious.

Soy Garlic and Red Hot
Sharon L.

Got to try this spot with some friends recently. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, it's lively and the staff is really nice. The food came out pretty quickly and I like that you're able to just grab a drink from the coolers they have. We tried the Mahsil pizza, calamari fries, takoyaki and half and half 10 piece wings (soy garlic and red hot). The pizza was very good, I liked the sweet potatoes - salty and sweet. The crust was cheesy and the toppings were delicious. The takoyaki was solid - nothing special but still good! The wings were fried nicely, I enjoyed both of the flavors I got. The calamari fries were crispy but slightly over cooked. I did really enjoy the sauce it came with. Overall, a great place to grab food with friends!!

Came here over the weekend for lunch and we got the combo special. We could pick a pizza, a pasta, along with a beer of our choice. A great deal especially if you are a group of 2 as it is just enough food. Service was quick and efficient as it was still pretty empty when we got there. I really liked how you can pick out your own beer from the fridges, feels unique. The best thing was the rose pasta and it was cooked perfectly al dente. We weren't expecting this one to be as good as it was. Korean pizza is not my favorite so I'm a little biased but it was still good. We got it with cheese crust and it was a great choice. The place is spacious and well decorated with a bar as well. Great for group or family gatherings or a date.

First time here. Saw the menu online and wanted to give it a try. Glad I did. Great little place that has a nice varied menu. Great service and very good food. They had 3 pages in the menu for jodi pizza items! haha! awesome.

Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken Half
Carina H.

I can't speak to service and ambiance due to this being a delivery order, but I've seen cute videos of this place and have been wanting to try the food for forever. The Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken (Half) was good but didn't standard out to me (wasn't super juicy). The Hawaiian Pizza was so good I could have probably finished the whole medium pizza if I didn't also eat the chicken. The crust tasted like a dessert but wasn't too sweet. I'm not a big fan of sour cream, but it complemented the other flavors in the pizza well. There was a generous amount of chicken and other toppings on the pizza.

Food: I ordered pickup from here and the pizza was still hot and the French fries as well. I liked their hot pizza and their truffle fries. The hot pizza was delicious but definitely felt hot enough. No complaints at all from this restaurant. I have ordered from here a couple of times and it hasn't disappointed me. Service: They are friendly when I call to place an order. 10/10 pizza restaurant recommendation

Mozzarella Cheese Balls
Hee Yeon K.

Got a friend who wants a Seoul experience? Need a chill-vibe restaurant to enjoy both quality and quantity with friends? Head down to Mahsil in Murray Hill. Need I explain more or should I just let the pictures do the talking? Mahsil has all of the popular menu items from K-Pizza places in Seoul. They have it because it makes sense. From crunchy goodness to creamy-dreamy, the dining drives your tastebuds to one leaned-back, satisfied soul. And this isn't at all possible without a top-notch staff, because it's definitely a Korean thing, "in when in and out when out." They're all sufficiently attentive. A highly recommended restaurant for your next visit to Murray Hill. Get your K-Spicy crave done here.

How bad is to find street parking? How is the take out experience? thank y ou.

Street parking is easy during lunch time but during dinner time it's difficult because there's a lot of other restaurants in the area that so parking there is bad after 6:30 pm

What a neighborhood GEM!! Kuku Korean was fantastic! Fresh, tasty food at reasonable prices!…read more We (6 of us) were in the neighborhood for a Valentine's Day celebration and searched Yelp for a good ethnic restaurant in the area. We came across Kuku Korean and said YESSS, this is the place to go! The only wrench in our plans was that Kuku Korean doesn't take reservations; not even on Valentine's Day! They warned us that they expected to be very busy that evening, and to expect a wait. Ok, we made plans to go, but also made a Resy with another restaurant close by, as a backup plan in case there was a long wait for a table. But really, Kuku Korean was our preferred first choice. After our V Day event, we rushed over to Kuku Korean to see what the wait time was for a table for 6. It was just after 6pm, and the stars were aligned for us, because we got the last large table available! Woo Hoooo! Happy Valentine's Day to us!! We quickly cancelled our Resy with the other restaurant (sorry!) and perused Kuku Korean's fabulous menu. Our MENU (shared by 6ppl): ~ Seafood Pajeon ($24/large): Crispy battered pancake made with green onions & seafood (mussels, clams, squid, and shrimp). This was phenomenal! So much seafood and such a comforting dish...get this! ~ Veg Japche ($21): Stir-fried Korean vermicelli with Kuku soy-garlic Japchae sauce and assorted veggies. This dish was also available with various proteins but we opted for Veg since we were ordering other meat dishes. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. ~ Kuku Bibimbap ($24): Seasoned vegetables over rice, topped with a fried egg. Served with Kuku spicy bibim sauce. Again, you have the option of adding protein to this dish but we kept it veg. Another great dish! ~ Pork Galbi ($28): Char-grilled Pork ribs marinated in Kuku sauce, served with sauteed onions. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. The pork was cut in thick slices, which was surprising, but wow, this was phenomenal! So tasty and lean, and just delicious. ~ Beef Bulgogi ($33): Sauteed thinly sliced beef rib-eye marinated in Kuku sauce with mushroom, Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. Another phenomenal dish. Bursting with flavor. -- Spicy Squid ($28): Stir-fried squid in spicy Kuku gochujang sauce, onions, hot pepper and carrot. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. This squid was prepared perfectly; not over cooked nor rubbery! Great dish. - Ban Chan: generous unlimited servings; fresh & delicious. These 6 dishes, plus Ban Chan was perfect for 6 ppl to share. We finished everything and were fully satisfied. Every single dish was delicious and we ALL said we wanted to return to Kuku Korean to repeat some dishes and try new dishes. Customer service and atmosphere were great. The busser staff did an amazing job and were even more attentive than our server (who we only saw twice)...kudos to the bussers! They were so hard working, with a smiling, friendly attitude! Give them a raise! Looking forward to a return visit to Kuku Korean...hopefully SOON!!

Nice staff and attentive. Helpful when asked about dishes and preferences…read more Ordered a kudzu and a chi bap. Both were flavorful and did not disappoint. The chilled kudzu was nicely presented and consistent since my friend has had it several times. My traditional soy garlic chicken chi bap was a first time for me and I liked both the chicken and purple rice. Reliable choice restaurant that will not disappoint if you're in the mood for Korean food.

This place is a little of a hidden gem and not quite like other Korean restaurants. But no gatekeeping here! We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

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.

I was at this very tasty KBBQ place a while back with one of my usual groups. The inside is casual,…read moreand our waitress, Jane, was extremely friendly and helpful from refilling banchan to cooking meats and otherwise. A couple of us shared a $13 bottle of the green grape flavor of Chum Churum, a soju. In terms of banchan, there was a bunch. Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.

In an area that looked like remnants of a Korean immigrant neighborhood and now more so, Chinese…read moreimmigrant businesses. We were famished after a long walk. You would think we would order Chinese food but we ended up here. No regrets though. We ordered the pork bbq and it was delicious, presentation was good along with the banchan side dishes. In addition, I also received the gaejang (marinated raw crab) which was a nice touch. We also ordered the daegi gukbap (pork soup with rice), a comfort dish and kimchi pancake which was really tasty. Our server was good. We arrived past the busier lunch hourso this was a pleasant non-hurried experience.
