What is homestyle food? To me, it's simple food that fills you up, tastes good, and is prepared with love and pride. This soup represents those qualities. The meat was tender and the soup was piping hot and mildly spicy. The sides were tasty and went well together. It was a lot of food for one person, but I wanted to finish as much of the soup as I could. The service was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back to try the 2nd item on the menu! read more

Cam here on a Saturday around 1:46, it was moderately filled. The owner signals us to sit down. We wait at the table for 5 minutes with no interaction with anyone. Soon the waitresses bring out a piping hot beef and dumpling soup with a little spice With a side of fried eggs and radish Kim chee and spicy jalapeños It was a unique experience . As they only have one item . And the owner speaks Korean to her non Korean waitresses. The owner looks mean but I saw her interacting with some Chinese kids she was very kind . The newspaper on the wall says that they have been open for 3 family generations . The food was very authentic . I would stop by again if I was in the mood for Korean beef soup. read more

Delicious. Simple as that. Honestly don't feel like the price is expensive for what they give at all. They give free refills and when I went, they would frequently check to see if I wanted more. It's a simple dish, but they do it very well. Give it a try, definitely coming back myself :) read more

Lived up to the hype! excellent food - excellent overall!! home cooking! read more

Food was delicious. I went there a while ago and meant to yelp it. I've already recommended this place to a few friends. Menu is limited but what they lack in variety they make up by doing it very very well. English is limited here so just point at what you want. Menu is on the wall. read more

The best of the best. This place is a true hidden gem in Flushing, NY. Tastes just like mamma's cooking that we all grew up on! Real treat for fine dining. The atmosphere will remind you of a little hole-in-the-wall feel/look but the food is impeccable! The owner is a real nice lady, always feeding my daughter her own free gukbab and always giving her extra's to pack home. She feeds the homeless 12 hours a day 7 days a week for free! -truly gives back to the community two folds. Nothing but good things here! Enjoy this treasure!! read more

Quality of the soup is superb. (Which is why I have checked in so many times) However, the amount of meat can vary day to day... Workers are rude when owner is not there. They joke around and the soup quality drops significantly. None the less, highly recommeded!! read more

Parksanbal - Signature soup - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

My go-to place for some gukbab. Their banchan tastes and looks home made, the plates and bowls they use are the typical ones you find at a Korean house, like your buddy's house or your aunt's house, and not at restaurants. They give you fried eggs and korean chili peppers which is awesome for this meal. Sometimes I get gim (toasted seaweed) but sometimes I don't. Some other tables get it, some don't. I'm still trying to figure out the pattern. Maybe if there are kids at the table. But there aren't kids at the restaurant ever... Who knows. It's a mystery. Love this place. read more

Very authentic Korean beef soup place! Can't wait to come back! Hubby been wanted to try out this little family owned place for a while. Finally we tried it today. Waited about 15 mins for seating (and it was only 11ish in the morning) def needed to come early during dinner time!! Service was good and speedy. Beef soup with rice is the only item on menu! But so good! Finished the entire thing!! read more

Phriggin phenomenal! Nice little hidden gem of a place. I love soups, this place has very good soup. Nice sides that come with it too.

Not a bad meal but also not the best. They literally have one item on menu which I was aware of. The soup wasn't bad, but tasted kind of like pork broth and shin Ramen mixed. It's a very casual setting. Ordering is sometimes lost in communication. They assume everyone that comes in gets a set. They automatically start prepping it and just randomly ask you spicy??? So just know to pick spicy or not spicy. Sit on a bench. And then randomly ur food will come haha. I would have said it's okay if the price was a little cheaper, but for 12.99 plus tax a little steep for lunch. read more

So so good! Trust me and just go! This is perfect for the fall and winter if u want to warm up;) one of the best gook babs I had in a long time!!!! read more

This is the best beef bone soup you can have in nyc! They only have one dish and it's super awesome. Come one every week.

Came in on a cold autumn day straight from the airport craving something that would warm my soul and this hit the spot. When you sit down, you're asked spicy or not spicy. Plain and simple, one thing on the menu. A simmering little pot of beef bone stew. I got spicy and it was served with a bowl of rice and a few banchan of fried egg, radish kimchi, seaweed, and spicy peppers with soybean paste. The stew comes with some vermicelli noodles. The description said it was suppose to have cabbage, but didn't. The beef melts in your mouth and my favorite parts are the soft tendon and fatty parts between the bones. The broth was perfectly spicy and you add your own salt. I loved the cute Korean lady who brings the pots of stew out while shouting "scuse me" repeatedly. We asked for refills of the banchan and they happily obliged. You also self serve water and tea. My only gripe would be that the portion a on the small side for the price. I might've left hungry if we didn't get extra banchan, but that's only bc I'm a fatty. I'll def be back when I need something hot and satisfying. read more

I can't say enough about this place. I have been run down and came down with the flu. Although I found it hard to stomach anything... I knew I just had to come here to get some nutrients back in my body. My lunch friend and I killed our bowls and felt so satisfied. Definitely comfort food and heart and tummy warming. If you can't handle the spice (it's not that spicy) you can ask for it not spicy which is what they serve for the kids and that's pretty delicious too!!! They did start to ask for cash only. But if you tell them you don't have cash they will pull out the credit card machine. I try to bring cash though. Because I love them so much I try to follow their wishes. :) read more

Great tasting soup for those cold rainy days. My Korean friend and I came to this place after he claimed that his parents always come here for an authentic Korean comfort meal. It did not disappoint me. Like most other of these small restaurants, the service isn't super chipper, but not in any way rude or stand-offish. They also give out a good amount of side dishes that complement the meal. I will definitely come back and recommend it to others! read more

When you only serve two dished, you'd better be on point and that was. It comes with a bowl of rice, peppers with some kind of peanut sauce and a fried egg with scallions. The soup comes out bubbling hot and smells like what beef soup is supposed to smell like....the only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was that it came with glass noodles which i'm not a fan of ,other than that it everything was delicious and I'll definitely be going back. read more

Parksanbal - A bubbling cauldron of spicy beefy goodness - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

A no frills, "hole in the wall" restaurant that only offers one item on its menu. The food was delicious and comforting; perfect for a colder day and definitely a dish that reminds me of a home cooked meal. You have the option of choosing either a spicy or non spicy broth. Both are great, though I'd recommend the spicy version if you want something more rich and flavorful, and the non-spicy version if you're looking for a cleaner, but fuller taste. The meal comes with a few side dishes-- the ones we received were kimchi, radish, sliced egg, dried seaweed (to go with the rice), and fresh green pepper with a soybean paste on the side. Though the restaurant isn't a close walk from Flushing's Main Street, it's definitely worth the travel! Note though, they only take cash! read more

Review is long overdue but I've been here so many times because my bf and I love the soup here! It's very simple yet flavorful, and I love how it's not oily at all. Whenever we want to eat something that isn't too heavy, we go here and order the non spicy. They don't have much side dishes like other korean restaurants but I still like how they have eggs and seaweed. The servers are constantly checking if the customers need anything. Would recommend if you want a soupy and simple meal. read more

I really wanna give this 5 stars but the only thing that was lacking in the soup with vegetables. I'm a veggie lover and was just wanting some veggie with my meat. Overall big chunks of meat, fresh food, and great taste. read more

If you have hard time everytime in the restaurant to think of what to order, this maybe your choice. There is no menu because they only serve one dish, only thing you have to make decision is either spicy or not spicy. While eating, you will see "entertainment" , server running around with their "slogan" : Excuse me excuse me....... Food : is good (one star) Entertainment : fun (one star) Time waiting : first come first serve doesn't matter how many person (one star) Hygiene: (one star) read more

No msg, family style beef bone soup with clear noodle. Every time boss special offer a bowl of soup with no spice for my kids! Very sweet, clean, nice run place! read more

This place is excellent! They only have 2 things on the menu, but it's amazing! I've never had such a rich, beefy, flavorful soup anywhere! The staff is super friendly and the service is really fast! Excellent, excellent, excellent! Just found my new soup spot! read more

Good casual food in the neighborhood. Consistent and delicious. Best to have during the winter

The beef stew was fabulous and the side dishes (egg roll and fresh Korean peppers with ssamjang) were tasty. On top of that, the owner was so generous! My wife had some leftovers of her stew she wanted to take and the owner ADDED more broth for us to take and she not only did not charge us for the extra broth, but she also did not accept our extra tip! I also read somewhere that she does a lot of community work and provides free food for people who are less fortunate. Such a wonderful person! We'll be back! read more

Just one big bone without beef, and noodle was in two soup I ordered for to go. No MSG? I don't think so. read more

It feels horrible that they don't have the AC on! I ordered a soup , you can imagine it's so hot!

The weather has turned cold. Brrrrr. I have a bad cold (sniff sniff cough sniff). I pass this place many times on my way to Leiser's Liquors on the corner. Yesterday I didn't need wine or liquor. I needed HOT SOUP. I parked right outside and needed to go to three parking meters to pay. Even with quarters two meters didn't work . (Not cool NYC Parking Dept). I went inside (it was warm inside). I told owner lady "Soup". There isn't anything else to order. It was about 3PM and every table was filled with customers slurping away and eating kimchee and fried egg etc. When my soup arrived it was BUBBLING HOT. I dumped in the rice. The steam from the soup warmed my face. Another single guy walked in and saw there were no other open seats. I gestured that he could sit at my table. Why not? It's a small friendly place. We're all in there getting our "fix" of hot soup to warm up. I'm a nice guy (with a bad cold.) He was a nice guy. We ended up talking while we ate. We both commented that the soup was very good. We also noted that I was the only non-Asian customer (I'm good with that) and that the owner lady is Korean....but her kitchen staff (women)...who are also waitresses...seem to be Mexican. America is amazing. New York City is amazing. Queens is even more amazing. Flushing is even MORE AMAZING. Look at this: A tiny Korean restaurant serving ONLY (great!) hot beef soup...filled with (mostly) Asians and one Italian-American (me) owned by a Korean lady with a few Mexican ladies (they might be from another Spanish-speaking country) and we're all doing just fine. (Political Comment: Screw you, Donald Trump.) Price: Soup $12+ $1 tax = $13 + $2 tip = $15 Sure....you can eat a can of soup for $2 but it won't feel like this. I know...this is a long review for a tiny place with only one thing on the menu. Sorry. Bottom Line: I liked it a lot and I'll go again. read more

The beef soup was so good!! I took my BF here and he ate two big bowl of rice and 3 side dishes of eggs LOL the eggs tasted like homemade eggs which made us ordering 3 refills. Nice owner :)! read more

I went there to try to get some lunch today and ordered for take-out. The waiter told me I had to wait for roughly 20 minutes, which I did. She told me to wait five more minutes which turned in to 30 minutes and then I finally found out that they didn't even start my order at all after almost an hour. And then I finally realized that everyone who ordered take out has been skipped because they serve the customers who come in to dine first, literally a party of 6 came in after me and within 10 minutes they all got their food. Don't order for take-out if you're going to come here, they will skip you as they did with me and all the other people that ordered for take-out. read more

While I have craved for a warm bowl of this deliciousness on many occasion, this craving has gone down significantly after my friend witness the chef double dipped her spoon into a giant pot of soup after she took a sip in the back kitchen. I may still go back if I feel fearless that day but not now while the virus has gotten everyone on high alert. read more

Another spot on my "Hidden Gems" list! My boyfriend and I discovered this place by accident... we were actually looking for another restaurant, but ended up going to this one instead. It was funny because we asked for the menu, when the menu was right there on the wall with only ONE item - Beef Soup! I'm a HUGE fan of soup, even in the dead heat of summer, so this place was already right up my alley. The Beef Soup comes with beef and glass noodles inside in a boiling stone bowl. They provide side dishes as well (eggs, spicy radish, and peppers) with a bowl of rice on the side. Staff is friendly and will ask if you want any refills of the sides - you can also ask for some seaweed too! This is the perfect meal for the cold season! *Thumbs up! read more

The soup was the only thing they have on the menu! It is amazing that they can keep the restaurant open for so long with only one choice on the menu! When I first saw the soup I was not impressed. However, the taste is amazing - I can tell it's definitely a beef bone soup. The soup comes with beef bones that still have some meat on it. The side dishes are also very good and you can refill. read more

Sat down. No need to order. They already know you are there and will bring out the banchan and rice first. They only serve one thing and one thing only (at the moment): the best homestyle-gookbap-piping-hot-and-oh-so-good-you-won't-know-you-burned-the-bejesus-out-of-your tongue-until-after-you've-finished-the-whole-bowl. The first taste brought back memories of korea, grandma, family, almost got me teary eyed. I left fully satisfied and very happy. Will be back for more. I have yet to try the place in New Jersey but this place will do for now. read more

Ordered the beef soup to go for dinner tonight. I picked it up 10 minutes after placing the order and it was waiting for me at the counter. That's a good thing since I was not able to find parking on that busy street. The Korean lady was very nice and just told me to leave $11 on the counter. Brought the food home and was a little afraid that the soup would be spicy. But it's actually not and tasted delicious with a nice beef broth flavor. There were a decent amount of tender beef pieces and noodles in it as well. The order also came with side dish of kimchi radishes, egg and rice. Everything was delicious and will definitely go back again and try their kimchi cold noodle. read more

This place is soo good. I always crave for it whether it be in the winter or summer. The broth is so flavorful and their side dishes may be simple compared to other korean places but it complements the soup so well. This place is my to-go place to fight the winter cold. read more

By all means the best home cook korean meal by far,excellent there are no words to describe, grandma runs the place & has captured my heart & soul with this wonderul meal!!!! read more

Simple, homemade, fresh goodness at a great value! Wonderful broth and banchan's were really fresh. Not much more to say other than a great place to enjoy when you are missing your mother's cooking. read more

My friend brought me here and I'm so glad she did. I LOVE soup, I can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This place only has one item on the menu, spicy pork soup. For any soup lover, you have to come try this place! For $13, you get the spicy pork soup, steamed egg and kimchee for side dishes. The only issue is there is a limited amount of seating because the place is quite small. read more
