Ambiance gives you a feeling of comfort, kind of like heading to your parents or grandma's house for a hearty meal. Decor tells a story of how the bone soups came to be. Service here is fast and there is only two options to pick from; spicy or non-spicy. I enjoy the side dishes they offer: fluffy eggs, roasted seaweed, kimchi radish, peppers and doenjang (Korean bean paste). Best part is the restaurant is not stingy about giving more side dishes upon request. The bone soups broth is lightly seasoned with salt for those who can't have too much sodium. There is a generous amount of beef and noodles which is amazing! Perfect after a hangover or if you're feeling under the weather. read more

Parksanbal - Non-spicy beef bone soup - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

When a restaurant specializes in one thing and one thing only, you know it better be good. In fact, the only decision you have to make at Parksanbal Baps is whether you want spicy or not spicy (personally, I prefer the not spicy mainly because the spicy version barely registers as hot to me). The space is pretty small, but everything moves quickly. Once you sit down and order, the staff brings your banchan and your bubbling cauldron of gukbap ($16.99) along with a side of rice. The stew, which cooks on the stove for a minimum of four hours comes with a handful of glass noodles and a beef bone with the most tender meat that falls right off the bone with a little nudge. The broth is very flavorful and sweet and has that rich taste that only a good bone broth can produce. But, it's not my favorite or the best I've ever had. I'd really like for them to commit to the spice level for their spicy bowls, and I would also like a little more sweetness from the broth too. For the price though, I think it's a great deal and you definitely will not leave hungry here. read more

The stop for comfort food! They only serve beef bone soup with refillable banchan - rolled eggs, pack of seaweed, sliced jalapeño with soybean dip, and radish kimchi. The only options you get are spicy or not spicy. I got the spicy and it was pretty mild. I would recommend the not spicy option so you can get the full flavor of the beef bone broth. The soup comes with vermicelli noodles, a big lump of beef bone with some chunks of meat on them, and cabbage. You also get a side of rice. Comes out very hot. This is such a comforting and filling meal. Make sure to bring cash ($20 per bowl). read more

I love this place. CASH ONLY. Be warned. The soup is just warms my soul. Everytime I come, I get an extra portion to take home and freeze. They have only 2 things on the menu so you know its good. Its just spicy and non-spicy and a bajillion banjans (which they also pack up for you for take out too). Theres nothing to dislike. Office workers come during lunch break, its filled with students after class working on homework while mom gets a break, and then families and friends fill the place. read more

They specialize. There is only one item on the menu, beef bone broth with cabbage. Simmered for 4 hours. You only have the choice of mild or spicy. I asked for the spice on the side so I can control the amount of heat. You get a small container filled with the dried spices. I used half, which was the perfect amount of heat for me. This place is super popular so it's usually packed with people waiting. Just add your name to the clipboard paper list that is located right outside the door. As tables open up, servers will come check the list. Bone broth: you get a couple of bones covered with some tender meat still attached to it. Along with cabbage and sweet potato noodles. Perfect cold weather food. For takeout, it's best to call it in, because the wait can be a long one. Seating: narrow and packed tight. Decor: not much really, but you are here for that hot bowl of broth. Free banchan: radish kimchi, rolled omelets, rice, Korean hot peppers, crispy seaweed squares. For dining in, it's unlimited. Drinks: there is a water station, so just go and help yourself. Kid's meals: they have mini portions for the little kiddies. read more

The food took an incredibly long time to arrive. There were only two tables occupied, and I wanted to order an extra bowl of rice, but I waited a full 20 minutes. The service staff were just chatting and not doing anything. The experience was terrible, and I will never go there again. read more

I think about this meal from time to time. We ate this when it was freezing out, and everyone might have had the same idea that weekend, because it gets packed. But the turnover rate is super high, as the food comes as quick as people eat and go. The worker lady took our order WHILE we were waiting. That's how efficient this place is. But it's also easy because they only have 1 dish, spicy or not spicy. One of their highlights is also in their unlimited banchan. I'm a big eater so we were offered seconds, but the sides were abundant, their rolled egg included! I'm making a PSA that their spicy is NOT spicy!! I didn't order it at first because I feared the Korean definition of spicy, but the spice here is very toned down, even for my low spice tolerance. The Beef Bone Soup ($19 without tax) was tasty, whether you prefer more of a slight pepper tinge to it, or a hearty pronounced aromatic beef flavor. Dipping the rice in the broth while grabbing some beef is a must, not to mention finishing it off with some seaweed! The whole store was just engulfed in this delicious smell. They accept card, but take only cash tips. read more

There's only one thing on the menu - beef soup (spicy or non-spicy) for $18.99. I personally like the non-spicy one because it has a light soothing flavor in comparison to the spicy one. However, both are super flavorful. Their side dishes are yummy as well and are unlimited refills. They did raise their prices by $2 since I went last year but a go-to on a cold winter day It's usually packed but the wait is never too bad.

They only serve 1 dish at this restaurant - beef and cabbage soup either spicy or non-spicy. The non-spicy beef soup was light, filling and the perfect comfort food which is perfect for those cold or rainy days. The beef was abundant and easily fell off the bones. They serve unlimited banchan - seaweed, kimchi radish, egg omelette and green peppers with samjang. They also give you a bowl of rice which you can eat separately or add to the soup which is called gukbap. - If you are close or can access the LIRR, just take the Port Washington line to Broadway and the restaurant is a few minutes walk from the station. - It is a hole in a wall restaurant that is easy to miss. - They take card but only cash for tips so we paid with cash. It came out to an even $20 per soup. - Water and tea are self-serve. - You can add your name to the waiting list in the front of the restaurant but there was an open table so the waitress told us to just take it. This is a fast turnover restaurant. read more

I'd rate Parksanbal Babd three and a half stars. It's an interesting experience. Small restaurant with only one item on the menu - beef soup. You can order it spicy or non-spicy. Otherwise everything else is preset. I opted for the spicy. I loaded it up with plate of raw peppers and found it mild. As with most Korean spots, they bring out an assortment of small plates provide a myriad of flavors and textures. My favorite part of soup was the glass noodles. They were the best I remember having. Long and chewy. Soft yet sturdy. Service was very quick. Current pricing is $21 for the meal. Restaurant is very casual. Best for one or two diners. A couple tables that could fit four. It was filled when I arrived on a weekday before noon. read more

TLDR: Single item menu. Spicy or not spicy? Your answer should be spicy. This will warm your heart and your belly - it is worth waiting on that line. There is something that's awesome about a shop so confident in a single product that it's the only dish they serve. Tell them how many people are eating and whether you want yours spicy or not. I would recommend the spicy. You get your own tea/water and they immediately drop your sides. An omelette, peppers and fermented dipping suace, kimchi, rice and crispy seaweed. A few minutes later, a piping hot bowl of beef soup shows up. Rich yet surprisingly light in texture. Every gulp reminds you that you were a winner today to wait on that long ass line. With each savory spoonful of tender beef and broth, swish that goodness around in your mouth. That is what victory tastes like. If you haven't ventured into this little shop, you absolutely should. Hearty, affordable, homemade cooking at it's finest. read more

We had high expectations after reading the Yelp and IG post about this restaurant. Their only dish - beef bone soup ($20) is average / mediocre and is served with a bowl of white rice, radish, omelette, green peppers and seaweed. The restaurant staff were all Hispanics and only two spoke English - they were nice and friendly. We didn't see a single Korean staff in the kitchen or front. Does anyone know if the restaurant is still Korean owned? Also, the restaurant closes at 8pm sharp but the staff starts cleaning and clearing tables at 7:40pm so the customers that were eating felt rushed (including us). We had better beef bone soup in Korea and nyc Koreatown (Manhattan & Queens). Really don't know what the hype is about this place. read more

Great value and great food. This restaurant is quite difficult to get to by foot but I think it is worth the trip. They serve only one thing on their menu and you can get it spicy or non-spicy. I tried the non-spicy version and loved it. The service is quick and attentive, and the interior is very homey. The drinks are self-serve near the front of the restaurant, and you can choose from two varieties of tea, or cold/hot water. As banchan, they give egg omelette, radish kimchi, dried seaweed, and ssamjang with green pepper. They refill this continuously. The soup itself is very good, it's very clear and hearty with glass noodles and meat on the bone. It was so hot that I burned myself but it was delicious. Overall I would definitely come back given the chance. Next time I may try the spicy version of the soup. read more

Small cozy restaurant that serves only the one beef bone broth dish. I had the spicy version (it was not too spicy) which came with some side dishes (kimchi radish cubes, fried egg omelette, green peppers, seaweed) and a bowl of white rice. The dish itself is not too flavorful and tastes homecooked. This is definitely a comfort food and warms your soul. If you're looking for something very flavorful and filled with spices, this is not the place for you. I put the seaweed in the broth and it was delicious! They prefer cash, the dish as of today is $20. read more

There is a restaurant like this. When you walk in, they only ask you if you want it spicy or not? How many bowls do you want? All cash, $20 + tips per person, comes with side dishes and rice.

So good! Don't hesitate and try this gukbap. No frills and such a well-organized operation. There are only two options: spicy or not spicy.

"Do not try to do everything. Do one thing well." - Steve Jobs It seems that following this philosophy has been the key to Parksanbal Babs's success. I knew this going in that the only choice one needs to make when ordering their excellent "Beef & Cabbage soup with Rice" is if you want it spicy or non-spicy, but on the occasion I went in for a midday meal I witnessed something more. As we were waiting for a table I saw a woman who I presumed was the owner interacting often with a couple that were finishing their meal. When the man of the couple went to pay he tipped the owner a large amount, probably $100 on a $32 meal. Although they were speaking Korean it was obvious the owner was protesting that the amount was too much trying to give it back, but the man insisted she keep it - his love and appreciation for what they do here being the inspiration for such a generous tip. After the couple's table was cleaned we were given the same table. Obviously I am not Korean, but there is a vibe here that transcends cultures. Its one of going to a relative's home - a relative that knows how to cook really well and they enjoy feeding you. A comforting, bubbling dolsot (stone pot) of long simmered beef and cabbage soup with glass noodles is brought out with plates of banchan - pickled radish, egg omelet, sheets of seaweed, and chili peppers with doenjang (Korean miso) which they offer you as much as you wish. Help yourself to the water dispenser and tea bags located in the front of the store. We devoured it all (with a refill on the pickled radish), but watch those chilis they can be mild like the 1st one I ate, then hiccup inducing hot like the second one I bit into! I left the place on a cool, sunny fall day feeling amazing and well cared for - a great feeling I carried with me the rest of the day and informed what inspired the scene I witnessed earlier. Parksanbal Babs made me feel at home. read more

Good soup at a good price!! I really enjoyed it here. First the food: super yummy. I went with my bf and a friend and they both loved it. I felt it needed a little salt to bring out the flavors which is why I rated it 4 stars. The kimchi radish was to dieeee for though. So yummy. I ended up adding some of the juice from the radish to my soup. The soup came with the radishes, rice, jalapeño, a kind of mild soybean paste, seaweed sheets, and Japanese style rolled omelette (kind of bland but good with everything included). There was also a little bit of a line and it was pretty confusing to know how to put down my name since there wasn't anyone outside taking names - just a piece of paper to write on stuck on the wall outside of the restaurant. So you know, write your name and last 4 digits of your number and they'll just call it out. Stay in the area cause you might miss it. It's a simple system but hey i guess it works! The line moves fast so it wasn't much of a bother. It's a kind of small show and we did have to wait in line but the wait was worth it. The seating is pretty okay cause it's a small place but that just makes it so the food comes out quicker. The playlist they had on was pretty modern as well with a lot of music anyone would know. The servers were very kind and quick to keep bringing out sides whenever we were low on it which was unexpected for how busy it was but very much appreciated. Altogether for about ~$15 a really solid lunch/dinner option if you're in the area. Maybe bring a small shaker of salt if you're a salt maniac like me lol! read more

So good! If you order to go make sure to ask for the noodles on the side Ordered 5 to go and didn't know the noods came inside and when we went to eat it a few days later there wasn't a lot of broth Service is great! They give you the side dishes and seaweed even when it's to go! So good and my niece enjoyed the reg soup (not spicy) The first time I tried it I shared one with my bf and the staff was so kind even though we got one to share. I love that cus some places aren't like that. They get busy really quickly It seems like people usually go in and tell them their order pretty quickly. It's either spicy or not spicy soup. I liked it so much that when we were in the area we ordered some to go and I took some home to my parents in md There's a reason why there's a line. read more

This restaurant only serves 1 entree, which is beef soup with cabbage. The only question you need to answer is: spicy or not spicy. My sister and I came here and I decided to get the spicy version while my sister got the non-spicy version. Keep in mind that the spicy version is not spicy at all. I'm serious. You get a few banchans served at the table like an egg omelet, seaweed, radishes, and peppers (not spicy). These are simple side dishes but they were delicious. If you end up devouring it and you ask for more, they'll refill it. This beef bone soup is hearty and I can see why people come here. This seems like the perfect thing to eat when you're hung over from drinking too much the night before or when it's cold outside. The meat fell right off the bones and there were plenty. I was able to try my sister's non-spicy version and I preferred that much more than mine. I will most likely order the non-spicy version the next time I'm back. The price is $14.99+tax for one soup and it came out to $16. Prepare to wait if you come during lunch and dinner hours. Thankfully, we came right before the rush. If you haven't tried this place out, I highly recommend that you come here and try it! read more

There is also unlimited banchan that consists of kimchi, scrambled egg, seaweed, and jalapeno peppers. The interior is small, do don't expect anything fancy.

This place is no-nonsense, one-dish specialty spot and they do it right. Right when you walk in, the staff greets you immediately asks: spicy or non-spicy. No menu, no fuss, just straight-up galbitang. The service is incredibly fast and friendly, and the unlimited banchan refills are a huge plus. This place has definitely blown up on social media and the prices have gone up quite a bit. But despite the price hike, it's still the OG spot for comforting, flavorful galbitang, especially on a cold day. The portion may look big don't be fooled, there's not as much meat; mainly bone. If you're looking for variety, this isn't the place, but if you want a solid, no-frills bowl of beef short rib soup, it doesn't get much better than this. The ambiance in there isn't the best; a little old seats are benches only. read more

Parking is difficult here on a Tuesday early afternoon. Only street parking if you can find any! They seat you right away. Pretty no frills type of place but they serve authentic, delicious homemade style Korean food. Specialty is their pork bone soup (pretty sure it's shoulder meat?). Extremely hearty and simple with refillable homey banchan like fried eggs, radish kimchee and dried seaweed. Price is decent for what you get. They leave the door open for ventilation so if it's a colder day, be prepared to wear your outwear. I think they prefer cash as well? Not sure if it's a cash only establishment. read more

I had to drive into Queens for a wake so I figured I could add a culinary experience. I had a hankering for some type of ox-tail stew or soup and was looking for Korean Gomtang. Reviews were so good I had to give this one a try even though it wasn't gomtang. I didn't realize there is only one item on the menu. Your choice of spicy-not spicy. In addition of delivering a molten bowl (literally boiling when delivered to the table) of beef bone soup, they provide a stack of nori squares for making your own "sushi" with sides rice, egg and green pepper with a dab of sauce similar to hoi sin. I made myself at least ten and asked for more peppers to get the count correct. You can request additional sides, no charge. I enjoyed the beef falling off the bone and glass noodles in the soup. This is a fun place and if I lived in the neighborhood I would be a regular. I was surprised they were turning customers away at 7:30-8pm saying they were closed. And the bowl is $20 read more

I'm a huge fan of no frills, hole in the wall spots, and Parksanbal is exactly that. As soon as you walk in, you're asked if you intend to dine in, and "spicy or not spicy". That's it. They've mastered the beef bone soup, and it's the only thing on the menu. For first time visitors, I highly recommend ordering the spicy. It's not actually spicy, but the additional spice enhances the broth, which is incredibly flavorful in itself. A bowl of soup that's still at rolling boil will be placed in front of you, and it is SOUP HEAVEN. Add a pinch of salt to make it even better. Each portion is served with a few pieces of beef bone (with bits of meat and gelatinous pieces), cellophane noodles, and a side of rice. The banchan is usually radish kimchi, green peppers, egg omelette, and seaweed. You never have to worry about running out of banchan - the staff is super attentive and will generously give refills once you start to run low. Prices have gone up since the pandemic (understandable!), but you still get your money's worth. On that note, make sure you bring cash! I'm not sure if it's still cash only, but it was the last time I stopped by. read more

Forgot to write a review after coming here a few months ago! Ive always heard good things about this place and was super excited to try it. My bf and I tried one spicy and one non spicy to see which one we liked more. They bring out some banchan- radish, pepper, egg omelette, and some seaweed! Also comes with a big bowl of rice. I personally liked the non spicy one because it tasted more flavorful! I'd probably stick with this one next time too. The banchan is simple and really all you need with this meal! They also have a water dispenser in the front where you can make tour own tea from the tea bags they provide. Such a homey vibe here! Will definitely be back on a cold day. read more

Before going on with this review, I can only say this is a truthful review from someone who has been to many Korean restaurants. Food- 2/5 The soup we ordered was spicy, the soup itself definitely was not spicy. In fact, it tasted like water. In addition to this you can literally taste how watered down the flavoring is as it tastes straight up like water and salt mixture. The bonchon was super mediocre. We barely touched any of it. Service- 1/5 Non existent. The whole time we are practically ignored and when asking for a check they just told us the price of the food. No paper or anything. Ambiance- 2/5 Place looks run down, our table was wobbling and the wait to even get into the restaurant was long. Not worth the wait, not worth the money. Definitely not coming back here. Why is the wait so long? read more

The place is small has a handful of tables about 19 tables, so during dinner 6pm to 7:30pm Friday nught there can be a 10 to 15 minute wait for a table of 2. Parking is difficult around area at that time as well. This place is currently holding a B rating from the NYC health department, anything less and i will not risk eating at any establishment. Service is quick no thrills, walk in wait in line, seated and you can get your own tea and water from dispenser at the front door. You dont come here for decor, you come in for a reasonable quick meal. We ordered 2 bowls of the spicy beef soup. Remember this olace is cash only! Waitress will ask spicy or not spicy? Theyr bought to the table, steamed rice, seaweed, pickled radish, jalapeños and shrimp paste and the furiously boiling pot of beef broth with a big beef bone. IMO, the broth would benefit from a bit more salt, i end up adding the roasted seaweed into the broth and that made a huge difference. The glass noodles have a nice bite in the souo. The beef flavor of the beef broth could benefit if they strained it during preparation, that way the beef flavors are more concentrated. I noticed lots of bits of bone and other impurities in my bowl. Maybe thats what give this place character but for sure straining the broth would give it more beef taste! maybe i am over reacting but this process would help the beef broth to have more depth, again the soup was very good. Don't expect to get full, is not a large soup $16 a bowl but on a cold winter date this is a very good option. For sure i will come back at lunch, probably it be easier to find a table. Good experience, highly recommended! By the way in comparison to other places , their definition of spicy is not relevant, i eat spicy and there was no spice or heat in my soup! read more

Comfort-style Korean food to the fullest! Great spot for a cold day to warm up with some delicious soup. Their a one-entree speciality shop that serves Beef Bone Soup with Glass Noodles. The only decision that you have to make is whether you want it Spicy or Non-Spicy. We tried one of each and I personally liked both about equally. The spicy one wasn't really very spicy at all. The non-spicy one need some extra salt and pepper. With the main entree you will also get an array of side dishes including Egg, Kimchi Radish, Peppers, Seaweed and Rice. Restaurant is a bit small, has 4 tables set up. Service is decent, and they refill the side dishes for you readily.

Haven't been here in a while, adding another update from today :) They only have one item here, beef bone soup with glass noodle inside. They give you egg, kimchi, seaweed and some green peppers on the side (not spicy). You can order the soup spicy or not spicy. I prefer the none spicy version since it's actually more flavorful, the spicy one wasn't spicy enough for me and I didn't think it was as good. It's $14 a bowl including taxes. There are about 4 tables inside with seating and 2 tables outside. Sits 2-4 each, so limited seating. They'll check your temperature and ask you to fill out your information on a form. The wait is about 15-20 minutes to get a table around lunch time, so go early! read more

Cuisine: 9 Service: 6 Decor: 5 Value: 10 Overall: 9 If you're looking for authentic hole in the wall restaurant serving a single specialty year round, look no further. It may not be such a big secret after word of mouth after all these years, but you still never see a non-Asian face eating at this establishment. However, don't let that keep you away because ordering is a breeze - just say spicy or not spicy. So what will you get? A bowl of soup with beef bone, pieces of beef, vermicelli and scallions. Only difference would depend on if you choose spicy or not for the broth. Honestly, I love spicy soup over the rice that it comes with. However, the pure taste of beefy goodness really shines with the plain broth. With your lovely soup, you also get four refillable sides. Usually it's pickle radish, egg omelette, chili peppers with Korean miso, and sheets of seaweed. They are all good, but that egg wrapped up in the seaweed with some rice is a winning combo. Maybe add some chili or radish too if you like. If you are searching the type of small restaurant that serves a specialty comfort food like they do in Korea ... ... you found it. What I learn from Covid is not to take anything for granted because you'll never know if it'll be around when you remember to visit again. I love this place and will be enjoying it more often than I ever did before. Hope to see you there! read more
