    The samgyetang or chicken ginseng soup, had a light and healthy broth, with its contents suffused in the rice. The dumplings' skins came apart but had a good consistency. The bonchan was a bit lacking in variety.

    Many of the stores in the Murray Hill Plaza strip mall on Northern Blvd have turned over and we wanted to try a bunch of the new ones, like Naju Gomtang. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday night and we were seated promptly at a table with the long bench along the left wall. For some reason, there is an antique Coke machine as you walk in. There are also a few semi-private dining booths along the opposite wall. It seems the tables are custom made with a built-in hidden drawer holding napkins, chopsticks and spoons. I say it's custom made because the drawer dividers are a perfect snug fit for the napkins & utensils. The menu is pretty extensive and it helps that there are pictures and descriptions for each dish. The Seafood Scallion Pancake is THICK and crispy on the outside. It's more batter than seafood or scallions, but it is twice as thick as any I've ever seen and is very filling. The sweet soy sauce on the table goes very well with it. We had to try the restaurant namesake, Naju Gomtang Guksu Noodle Soup. The milky beef bone broth must have been simmering for hours, if not days and was full of flavor to go well with the chewy, handcut noodles. I was expecting pieces of beef in the soup, but that is in the "special" beef soup that I'll have to remember to order next time. The Dolsot Bibimbab is also good with lots of meat & vegetables atop a bed of rice in a hot stone bowl and topped with a runny fried egg. The bowl could have been hotter to create the crispy rice layer that we like. You mix it up yourself with the gochujang fiery red sweet/hot sauce and you're good to go. Japchae is one of my wife's favorite Korean dishes, so we had to have that. We also had the Shiitake Mushrooms & Crispy Tofu , a very Chinese vegetarian dish, which had a tasty brown sauce. Pass the rice, please!

    My friends and I came to eat a much needed Asian meal after a weekend away and this truly cured us! The gomtang was warm and inviting. It came with beef slices and glass noodles inside and a side of rice. I didn't think it was too bland but still added a small pinch of salt. It's not something I'd crave all the time but still enjoyed it eating it! What surprised me was the tangsuyuk! We got the beef and it was amazing!! I honestly think my favorite of all the Chinese Korean places in the bayside/flushing area. The radish banchan was also SO GOOOD - probably my favorite that I've had in a long time too. Eager to come back for this and try some other dishes as well. Service was quick and lots of seating, for big groups too! Being in the Hmart plaza is another plus with the parking lot!

    Special gomtang

    This place is SO GOOD. I'd eat here so often if it was more easily accessible by train. If you do have a car, it's definitely worth a visit. Located in a strip mall area with parking in deeper flushing, this inconspicuous Korean spot is a perfect spot for some yummy Korean food. Was specifically craving gomtang and got that, bibim naengmyeon, and jajangmyeon. Got the special gomtang which I think came with additional cuts of meat and that was delicious. Add some extra salt for flavor, but a perfect soothing dish for a cold day. To contrast, the bibim naengmyeong was great. Perfect funky fermented flavors mixed with bouncy noodles were great and refreshing to contrast the hearty gomtang. The jajangmyeon was also solid. Can't complain at all about it, but it is fairly standard to places you can get closer by. The space itself is big and had plenty of seating. Nice and cleanly. Wasn't busy when I went on a rainy Sunday, but can see it getting busy on a colder day. Service was also friendly and quick. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for Gomtang especially. I would love going here more often for some classic Korean fare. It will not change your worldview on Korean food if you didn't already like it, but you absolutely can't go wrong with this spot.

    Bibimbap
    Christine W.

    First time eating here today and it was a great experience! The restaurant was cool, and service was good. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, bibimbap, and black bean noodles. Noodles were perfectly chewy, sauces were light and not overwhelming. The banchan was also not too spicy and very tasty, perfect for me. Portions are big, but can be a bit pricey. Would come back!

    Korean restaurants are all about service service service. This one is no different. They are open at 7am and I have no idea why it took me so long to discover this place!! They have jajamyun and the spicy chicken dish that I adore!! The place is spacious and there are drawers at each table with spoons, napkins, chopsticks so you can just self serve - which I absolutely LOVE! We've been here 2x in 2 weeks. Service has been excellent and their pork cutlet dish is huge! It's super convenient as they are part of the shopping center with the huge parking lot in front by HMart.

    Haemul Pajun- Seafood Pancake
    Alexander H.

    The restaurant is located in a shopping center which has a lot of parking spots. Once inside the restaurant, it has a very inviting atmosphere with a lot of space and seats. (A1) Haemul Pajun was really good, it is a seafood pancake that had a nice crisp and had complimentary sauces that you mix together to your liking. (R4) Maeun Suyuk Gomtang was a hearty spicy soup that contained pieces of beef and noodles. The spice level was not too much but I think its also because you can add extra spice to your liking. After your meal is done, they give you yogurt drinks to finish your meal off. Overall a very cozy restaurant with a bright and inviting atmosphere.

    Ordered the Special Naju Gomtang, the spicy version and an order of the jajangmyeon. The special naju gomtang is bomb; it comes with loaded with tendon, chunks of beef and other cuts. You add your own salt to taste and it comes out to a simple, beefy, and flavorful broth. Paired this with rice and it's 5/5 flavor. The spicy version is the same just be careful because it's pretty spicy. The jajangmyeon is 4/5, standard jajang sauce. I think it could use a tad more flavor. The banchan is just their house made kimchi and radish kimchi. The radish kimchi is 5/5 though, it's sweet, tangy but not too tangy and crunchy. Service is excellent, wait staff is attentive, refilled our radish kimchi when we ran out. Ambiance is your typical homey Korean restaurant.

    The restaurant itself is spacious, well-lit, and clean. I'm almost always seated right away, and the ladies working there are always very friendly. I recommend the Naju Gomtang or Suyuk Gomtang over the spicy versions. Whenever I visit a gomtang restaurant, I always check the kimchi and radish first to see if they're richly seasoned and nicely fermented - a sign that the soup will be on point - and they definitely are! You don't need to add your own salt and pepper as much, but it's still perfect to pair with the kimchi and radish. We also got the Tangsuyuk, a classic Korean-Chinese dish, and it was really good. Overall, a great spot for a comforting and hearty soul food meal with great service. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area or looking for a nice place to dine alone!

    3.5 stars - I've walked by Naju Gomtang so many times, but finally came here with my fiance to satisfy some soup cravings. The restaurant is really spacious, well lit, and clean. At 8pm, about a third of the restaurant was still filled but we were seated immediately. My fiance ordered the regular gomtang with rice, and I ordered the spicy gomtang with noodles. The waitress cautioned that it's super spicy, but I like spice! Contrary to the name, the regular gomtang comes with glass noodles and rice on the side! The spicy gomtang noodles are like jjamppong noodles (the yellow ones). Not my favorite, but portions were massive. Here's the thing - the spicy gomtang is almost like a peppery spicy, where it kicks you in the back of the throat but doesn't quite lend flavor or depth to the soup itself. I still added a good amount of salt. If I come back, I'd rather get the regular gomtang and add gochugaru myself. Beef portions were quite generous. Two types of banchan are served - kimchi & pickled radish. The kimchi was really delicious, but the radish was a little too fresh for me. As for service, there was 1 lady who was really sweet, but 1 who was quite rude. There was 0 hospitality from the rude waitress, and the only time she came by was to curtly take our order & also to drop off the check.

    jjajangmyeon
    Amber C.

    Huge portions, alright Korean Chinese fusion food. This is a very casual Korean neighborly restaurant. The Naju gomtang was a bit too salty and did not have that much depth in the soup. There were noodles which I enjoyed but it did soak up the soup pretty fast! The jjajangmyeon was super tasty and had tons of potatoes and onions mixed in! I wish there was meat, but the flavor of the black bean shined through! The sweet pork was crispy and drenched in the sweet sauce. Some parts were soggy due to the sauce but is expected. The seafood pancake was a bit thick for my liking, and the seafood pieces such as shrimp was large and I struggled to eat the pancake. Not my favorite place but it was decent and the portions are family style. We took a bunch of dishes home.

    Loved it here. The ladies that run the spot are friendly and sweet. It was my first time trying yakult and I really liked it. The ladies offered me a 2nd one and one customer told me to go to H-Mart to buy some. Love older friendly Asian ladies. Noodles were delicious and loooooooooooooong. They give you scissors to cut the noodles. The sticky shrimp was delicious as well. It's a large establishment but very quiet. I loved it here and will be back.

    Ordered the beef soup with noodles. It was a bit bland so you would have to add your own salt and pepper. I like to add the liquid from the kimchi and radish into the soup as well to add more flavor. I thought it was interesting that they used the jjajangmyeon noodle instead of the usual glass vermicelli other places used. So by adding that the soup was more filling. They also give a decent amount of beef and egg! Also ordered the pork cutlet w/ rice. The flavor was pretty good and it was cooked well. The price of the donkkaseu was expensive in my opinion though. Overall a decent casual spot for a quick meal.

    Tried this place for the first time, it was a Saturday night. We arrived around 5:30 table of 2 and…read morethere were 2 other large parties. It got busy, almost full house around 6:30ish. 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.

Geo Si Gi is highly known for their signature gamjatang (spicy pork bone soup). Ordered the Gamjatang & Grilled Mackerel Set - $52.95 (for 2) The gamjatang is perfectly spiced - bold and warming without overwhelming heat (and trust me, my spice tolerance is low!). Instead of the usual red kimchi, they load it with long strips of green napa cabbage, cut right before your eyes before serving. Some bean sprouts, watercress on top, with tender potatoes, chewy rice cakes, and massive pork bones that fall right off - so meaty and flavorful. Served with a side of sweet mustard sauce. Pure comfort on a cold day. The grilled mackerel was enormous and incredibly plump - way bigger than expected! As an oily fish, it's rich and satisfying, but we barely made it through a third. If you're a mackerel fan like me, it's a must-order. . Banchan were simple and homey: nothing flashy, just solid classics. Bonus: it comes with fluffy steamed egg (jjim) that rounds out the meal perfectly. I can eat an entire bowl of rice with just the steamed egg . This set was massive for two - we left with about 1/4 of the soup and 2/3 of the fish! Pro tip: Save some broth and ask them to make fried rice with it at the end. Game-changer. . Highly recommend for hearty, soul-warming Korean food in Flushing!
