Although they have a limited raw fish selection, the sushi bar is long gone and their focus is back to traditional Korean only. I remember when we went years ago and the non Koreans would look at our table filled with banchan (Korean appetizers) when theirs only had edamame and sushi...but I digress. Long Island now has a few "Korean" restaurants but this place I feel is the most authentic, they don't charge for the banchan and if you happen to love a particular one or two, you can ask for more. All of the dishes we have tried are seasoned well and made for Korean tastebuds. Cannot say enough about this place, one of my favorite places to go to get a traditional Korean meal without having to cook it myself.

Once inside, you enter the best of what Korean BBQ has to offer. It's no wonder this establishment keeps growing - a new Commack location is imminent. No need to fear about speaking English - the staff speak better English than me! Speaking of staff - Nick was our server for a large group ranging from infant to senior citizens. He was patient with our many questions about the different types of meat and was ever attentive to all of our needs, both young and old. Nick was so good, we had the manager (who had just finished her shift and was walking in the parking lot) return to the restaurant so that we could let her know how great Nick was!

There aren't vents above the grills so the smoke can get on you and in your way (my friend was coughing and sweating a lot every time the smoke blew her way...). We tried the pork spicy bulgogi, spicy chicken, and chicken breast (plain). The marinades ran far too sweet for my likely so I ended up preferring the plain chicken and also didn't think the marinades were spicy enough. The spicy tofu soup was a great side option to have. The banchan were also all slightly too sweet for me, the soybean sprouts were my favorite mainly because they were not overly sweetened. The radish, daikon, and kimchi were all way too sweet and really tolerable for a couple bites. Also tried the grilled vegetables and bibimbap bowl for some additional veggies and rice. The service is quite good and their staff will help grill and check in on your food so you can focus on eating. The music here is a tad loud but you can still have a conversation. Per person cost was nearly $50 so it exceeded $60 per person with tip. Would only recommend if you can tolerate sweet marinades and can get your money's worth for that base cost.

It is so impressive how consistent they have been all of these years, it's so comforting to know that I will always have a place to get a warm, delicious bowl of ramen nearby. Everything on their menu is exquisite, the chicken wings are actually insane with how crunchy and flavorful they are. My go to is the garlic soy sauce flavor as my family doesn't like too much spice, but the extra dipping sauces on the side provide the perfect amount of heat if you do crave a little kick. Their fried rice is flavorful and I love to customize it with their beef bulgogi! Something to also try is their pork buns as they put the most tender pieces of pork inside of a soft pillowy bun! The ramen is the true star of the show, as I've never had a more flavorful tonkatsu broth anywhere else, and the portions are massive so I always end up with extra for lunch the next day (or a late night bowl haha). The servers are always sweet and helpful, and they are always playing K-pop in the background usually with a lyric video or even a dancing video which is always entertaining. The parking lot is quite small though, but you can always park around the block and just walk over! If you are anywhere near the south shore I am begging you to check out Spoonsticks!

There's a tiny little free parking lot directly in front with 4-5 spaces and some spaces all the way in the back which was very cramped and full when I was there. I ended up parking in the free spots next door (much more spacious) for the flower shop and walked over. This deli has a ton of choices ranging from sandwiches, wraps, ramen, breakfast items and breakfast drinks, hot food to go (charged by the lb), Korean food, pre-packaged drinks as well as homemade looking drinks (ie teas, smoothies). Honestly I was pretty overwhelmed at all the options! I ended up picking #16 which was a grilled chicken wrap with 5 egg whites and turkey bacon. The chicken (a bit dry) needed some sort of flavoring like a sauce of some sort but it overall tasted okay because the flavoring was mainly the turkey bacon. I also got their japchae to go for lunch the following day which was very good. When waiting for my food, I was chatting with who I assume was one of the owners, super friendly and sweet by the way! I'll definitely be returning to get the ramen again and perhaps one of the homemade drinks! P.S. They close pretty early (2:30p?) so that kind of sucks.

The breading fell off the chicken on first bite (likely because it was two tenders cut in half) The noodles were great but very sparse compared to the rice which took up most of the bowl. The guacamole was a strange addition but not bad, probably would have preferred to go without it. Overall, I'd visit again but I will probably get standard wings or tenders next time.

The chicken isn't overly thick, has a great crunch, and the spicy, garlicky mayo is next level. Honestly, it's way better than the Nashville hot chicken spots that are everywhere right now. I really wish they sold the fried chicken on its own because it's that good. The beef burger is solid too -- not greasy at all, and I love that they use fresh jalapeño slices, which add real crunch and a clean spiciness instead of just heat. The fries were nice and crispy and tasted fresh, which I always appreciate. I also loved their shake options, especially that they have mango and falooda flavors -- such a fun and unique touch you don't see everywhere. The only thing that was mid for me was the Philly cheesesteak. It was very rich and cheesy, to the point where it felt heavy after a few bites. It could really use something acidic to balance it out -- even fresh bell peppers or a bit of tang would've made a big difference. Overall though, I'm so glad they finally opened a location on Long Island. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

Didn't even look my way, he doesn't have to start a conversation with me, but I have never felt so invisible at a restaurant. There was another guy towards the far end of the corner, tall blonde guy, I paid for my food and waited, the young man at the register put the slice of pizza in the box, after a while the tall guy goes to the oven, and while I'm standing right there, and no one else there that ordered 1 slice of pizza with 3 garlic knots, this tall guy proceeds to say "whose garlic knots are these?" I said "me". Again didn't even turn his head. The younger man at the register responded and said right here in this box. And tall guy just puts it there and said here and walks away. I don't know if they are introverted and customer service is not their thing, but it is very rude to take my money but then not talk to me as if I've done something to you. I will not come back here. If y'all don't want to sell pizza any more than don't do it. But if you can't say "hello, what would you like to order today?" than why are you doing this job to begin with? As I stated, I don't go out of my way to leave bad reviews. I have no interest in going to this establishment moving forward.

The banana dessert - one word - yum! We came in on a rainy Sunday afternoon in May. The vibe of place is exactly as pictured. We live in Nassau County and found this nice strip of restaurants a few weeks ago, and saw this pho restaurant and decided to try it. I like that there are parking lots in the area and very convenient on Sunday when parking is free. When we entered this place, it was empty. It was like walking into a cave. The tv was on and music playing lightly in the background. On tv was a baseball game or documentary of some sort. The server greeted us but in general you didn't get a warm and friendly greeting. Seems like a nice guy, and perhaps he was busy. Not sure. Eventually a few customers came in. I highly recommend shut the tv off and play the music a bit louder. The menu is good but we were surprised that they had a limited pho selection and no curry or stew dishes. If I lived or worked in the area and needed a quick meal or takeout, I'd definitely order here. But if you're looking for a pleasant place to have a meal, then the vibe of this place is not it. Seems more like a Chinese takeout vibe. Now I know what you're going to say - it's called Pho Xpress - duh. But honestly with just a little bit more effort with lighting, decor and music, they could up there game. Will I likely come back again - possibly, but if I'm looking for a nice place to go with a friend or on a date, probably not. If I lived or worked in this area, I'd definitely would be a regular.

Texas Chicken is definitely a tough competitor up against Popeyes and the other common chicken…read moresandwiches , and so far I've seen a pretty good level of consistency while trying other TC & Bs but I could be mistaken, the chicken patty at this spot got bigger. It was literally out-sizing the buns which I was pleased, of course. MisterBabe and I attended this establishment and after looking at the spicy chicken sandwich displayed , I asked the manager "are you better than Popeyes" in which he brazenly stated , "Yes we are". ((((CHALLENGE ACCEPTED)))) So I ordered 2 #6 and took an order of cole slaw for myself and fries for my sidekick. After looking at the coleslaw (it was abit more processed than I hoped) I kindly exchanged it for some fries...I'm picky so sue me! I took to the soda fountain and made myself some iced tea soda (figure it out) and it unsurprisingly tasted awesome. Unfortunately , Coca Cola did not do their usual carbonation calibration of their soda fountain , it lacked the fizz. But the save came with an extensive assortment of condiments ! We did the spicy mustard ketchup hot sauce combo and made out not so secret sauce. Question : am I wrong to pour ketchup all over my fries and not in the corner? I was told people who have mental disorders do such things but then again, memes are memes. So did it match Popeyes ? I'll say , mmmm it's in a class of its own. Pickles would have really jazzed it up but the lettuce and tomatoes are a luxury being that produce prices have risen so I'll give them that. The staff was friendly and while MisterBabe and I were discussing different types of mysterious stairs going nowhere found in the woods (Google it , it's a crazy and creepy rabbit hole you'll either thank or hate me for later), the topic was changed almost immediately for fear of the boogeyman. We finished our Sammiches and I would say there was an air of satisfaction. Although they almost lost a star for the lack of potent carbonation in their soda fountain, the save came when they offered cans and a boat load of condiments. It's a great sandwich by itself, skip the combo, buy 2 to go, bring it home and make your own fries and a bottle of Mexican cola, you are solid (also a plate of celery and carrot sticks are great for "regularity" , which was stressed to the TC&B staff.
