    It was open on 4th of July. There's street parking outside. It was full for lunch. We had the seafood pancake, LA kalbi, and spicy pork. Everything was delicious. The spice was a bit mild. They refilled our banchan. Service was nice. It felt like a mom and pop restaurant.

    This spot has been on my list for a while as I've been on the hunt for good ganjang gejang in the city, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. I stopped by for a late lunch on a Monday and was seated immediately. Along with the ganjang gejang, we ordered the galbi tang and haemul pajeon. The galbi tang was incredibly comforting and delicious--the broth was rich, well-seasoned, and packed with tender short ribs and glass noodles. The haemul pajeon was perfectly crispy and loaded with seafood. As for the ganjang gejang, the flavor was outstanding, with plenty of roe and sweet, fresh meat that paired wonderfully with the rice. I also appreciated that they offered purple rice as an option. Honorable mentions to the potato and cucumber banchan--they were so addictive. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, and the overall vibe of the place felt cozy and welcoming.

    This underrated Korean restaurant is located in Flushing! The reason I found this place during our NYC trip was to try their raw marinated crab. It wasn't busy as we got seated right away. Cozy once you're inside and they have a wooden interior for their tables/chairs. $27 for 3 raw marinated crab! I was surprised because usually, that would be the price of one from the Bay Area. It came with great side dishes and seaweed soup to rinse your tastebuds. You have an option to choose white or purple rice. I was full after finishing one order of the soy raw marinated crab. The eggs were delicious (umami) and the meat was packed. Great quality!

    Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner and the place was moderately busy with about half tables busy and the other free. Service was slow due to there only being one server so it took a bit to get our order in, but she was obviously doing her best so it seemed just like a lack of staff issue. The menu had a good selection of traditional Korean affair. My friend and I shared a few things, but I personally came just for the raw crab. It was okay, not spectacular but it did satisfy the craving. Everything else was good in portion and taste - it all definitely was very solid. Overall, I don't know if I would come back, but I thought the food was good. Nothing stood out, but I enjoyed the meal and thought it was a good experience!

    the raw marinated crabs here are a must! I also love how they give so many banchans. service was quick and super friendly. there's a good amount of seats. parking is fairly easy to find in the area.

    I came in with the sole purpose of having the spicy raw marinated crab and I was not disappointed! This hole in the wall spot exceeded my expectations with the delicious food and the amazing service! I was there on a rainy weekday but the place was still pretty busy with mostly locals and the vibes were very comfortable and homey. I tried the marinated crab and the bulgogi and both tasted very flavorful and fresh! Literally loved every bite!

    Interesting soy sauce cold crab, spicy pork pairs well with the vegetable bibimbap. Galbi tan (non spicy soup) was good too and seafood pancake was ok, better with the sauce. There's a really strong smell when you walk in and not that many seats, pretty packed when I came over on the weekend for lunch Saturday. Good portion for 4 people. More like 3.5 stars and bumping it up to 4 since other people in my group like it.

    We traveled 1.5 hr to come here for a Saturday lunch. I was shocked by how it wasn't busy - but hey, no wait for me I'll take it :D Myung San gives off a homey vibe. It doesn't have any insane interior decoration or plating, but who needs that when the flavors for everything is ON POINT. Our party of two ordered Someori Gukbap and soy marinated raw crabs, and it was perfect for two people. - Banchan: super tasty and full of variety! - Soy marinated raw crabs: super flavorful and a good amount for the cost! - Someori Gukbap: this is perhaps one of the best soup I've had for awhile. Super rich, super flavorful, and very meaty Overall, despite the long travel I still find it incredibly worth it. I would come back for all of these dishes again any day anytime.

    This homey Korean restaurant has a variety of items on their menu. We got seated pretty quickly and waitress was very nice and helpful. We ordered the soy marinated crab and the pork belly and intestines for kbbq. They cooked the pork belly and intestines for us which was nice since we didn't need to manage that ourselves. The pork belly was tender and crispy. The intestines were also delicious. I enjoyed the soy marinated crab but def want to come back and try the spicy version. And of course there was so much banchan all of which were delish and perfect with all the food.

    Went on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait. I was craving for soy marinated crab and a friend recommended this place. I tried the soy marinated crab and enjoyed it. It was decently priced and they gave a good amount of crab! The crabs were a little salty but I'll be back to try the spicy marinated crab.

    If you are looking for raw crabs, this spot is it! Amazing dish and fairly priced for what it is. I personally like their soy sauce crab over the spicy one but they are both good and worth the try! They have a lot of your standard Korean dishes from sundubu, to bibimpbap to bulgolgi as well. So if you are just craving traditional Korean, feel free to stop by as well! They seem to be short on staff so service maybe a bit slow but they try their best to serve you!

    My friend and I were craving raw crab and this spot was recommended first. I liked how they had an option of mixed, spicy and no spicy. The place was ok, only thing is the pork with lettuce wrap looked pretty boring and wasn't what we expected. The soup was also a little sour and didn't look right.

I ordered the sogogi gukbap (beef and rice soup), cheese tteokgalbi (deep fried beef/pork meatballs stuffed with cheese), and Jeju Tangerine Fizz drink, which I added some Saero soju to. Everything was SO delicious! I loved the cheese tteokgalbi, which were even better with the rosemary lime aioli dipping sauce. The gukbap had a strong, savory broth and rice came on the side, so I enjoyed dipping it into the soup. The beef was cooked perfectly. Our meals also came with plenty of banchan, and the baechu kimchi had a slightly sweet flavor that I enjoyed quite a bit. Woodam advertises as "Korean comfort food," and that's exactly what you'll find here. Korean soups are so comforting, and everything we had was 5/5 perfection!

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!

There's 2 waitresses and one busser, but I felt only one of the waitress was pulling the weight, while the other (maybe she's the owner?) mostly chatted with one of the table customers. 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.
