I really wanted to love this spot - especially with all the amazing reviews, but I was very disappointed and dissatisfied. I really regret coming here. When we arrived, it was empty so we were seated promptly. As we got the menu and looked at the cocktail section, I asked the server what was in it? It said the name and that was pretty much it - she proceeded to go ask someone and then come back and say soju and flavorings but didn't exactly say what goes in it which was the whole point. She goes and comes back with an answer. I was curious about the second option but didn't even want to ask her, so I asked another server. His attitude was atrocious - he said obviously soju and proceeded to name the potential flavors and at this point I was done. Frankly we should've stood up and left. We finally ordered. Pork bun, seafood fried rice, tteokbokki with additions, and 2 bottles of soju. Pork bun was ok - there's better and it's not worth the price here. Fried rice - it didn't amaze me enough to come back and there weren't enough seafood in it to justify the name. Tteookboki was a sad excuse of a dish where they used frozen rice cakes and barely had any spice or depth. Overall we ordered and paid a good amount, but the prices didn't justify the flavors or quality. Not to mention, I'm eating and look up and i see on the bar they just left a cleaning solution on top like it's one of the drinks. It seems like they cater towards the western palate, but any asians or those who have had real korean food - be aware. read more

Spoonsticks - Korean Near Me - Massapequa, New York

I love whenever I visit this restaurant. Their lunch specials are really good. The decor feels artistic and unique. We love their ramen noodles. They taste really fresh. We also like their bibimbap so much. There's a small free parking space outside. But we always go really early. If the parking is full, there's usually parking on the street. read more

We love Spoonsticks! Our go-to is the Tantanmen. I like to sub beef and add an egg. Normally ordering out, we decided to eat in once and were brought over some nice little apps/salads which are not pictured. The wings are so so delicious, but a little pricey. The customer service here is great and the place itself is really nice inside. read more

This is a fantastic neighborhood spot for Authentic Korean fare and excellent Ramen. Broth is brewed for 12 hours - no store bought packets here! Service was also excellent and hospitable. Great for date night or small groups. Parking lot is a little small but if it's full you can park in the residential side streets. read more

I have been back to Spoonsticks many times, and I always order the same dish. The Bulgogi BiBimBap is delicious and it never fails to satisfy my craving for bibimbap. I've also tried their appetizers such as the Spicy Bok Choi Salad, the Hash Potato Jeon, and the Karage Bun and all were excellent. Their Mochi Ice Cream, which comes in 4 different flavors, is a nice dessert to end that spicy meal. read more

One of the worst Korean/Japanese restaurants I've been to. The side dishes were fridge-cold, fine, I can overlook that, but the seafood pancake came out barely two minutes after we ordered, which already made me suspicious. Sure enough, it wasn't fresh at all. The batter was uncooked and mushy inside, and the seafood was the tiny, frozen kind you'd find in a supermarket mix. I couldn't even finish it. I attached a picture and you can clearly see the uncooked batter. We also ordered three ramen bowls, and the pork belly topping was dry, thin, and flavorless. Overall, everything tasted rushed and low-quality. Definitely not worth the price or calories. I'm highly suspicious of the amount of positive reviews this place gets. I will not recommend this place or return. In fact I will actively tell others not to come. read more

One of the best Korean food I had in NY. Service was amazing. Ambiance was great. A lot of artistic work on the wall.

Arrived at 8:05 PM expecting to dine in since the restaurant is listed as closing at 9:00 PM, but we were turned away and told they were no longer seating. I understand that kitchens may close before posted hours, but there was no notice of a last seating time anywhere. It's frustrating when the listed hours don't reflect actual availability. Clear communication about last call or seating times would make a big difference. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. We've been coming since they opened and the food is consistently fantastic. And so is the service. The most attentive and friendly staff. They go above and beyond. This is one of my favorite places. It's not big, it's a smaller sized space and the noise level is perfect. They also place music in the background usually K-pop. Love love love this place. read more

Great meal! We had the soft shell crab bun. Although a bit messy it was very good. The crab was itself was huge. The bun was nice and soft, and the sauce was delicious. My husband really enjoyed the seafood fried rice, and I had the spicy miso ramen. We thoroughly each enjoyed our dish. Nice touch, they gave us some sides which included spicy bean sprouts, potatoes salad and tofu skins. We really enjoyed this and wish we got more. lol. We definitely will come again. read more

This places hits all the marks for me. Delicious food, great service and cool ambience. We got there early because we didn't have reservations. We were seated right away. We had the fried dumplings and they were yummy. We also ordered the Soy Garlic Korean wings. Outstanding! I had the Bibimbap with Beef Bilgogi. Our waitress stirred in the sauce and broke up the egg and pressed it into the sizzling stone. It was quite delicious. My husband had the same but with karage chicken. He said he thought the stone was almost too hot because it dried out the chicken. Even the waitress was reacting to hot it was when she stirred his and smashed it down to her the crunchy rice. It would have otherwise been a perfect dining experience. My daughter has the Spicy Ramen and she loved it. I would highly recommend and return again and I am still giving Spoonsticks five stars even though the chicken was a little dry. We can forgive that. :) read more

I've been here three times. The first two times were phenomenal. The last time I felt completely ripped. $20 a soup for a few shreds of beef and noodles, isn't it. My soup had 4 shreds of beef, tones of bean sprouts and noodles. The flavors are great but it's over priced for what you get, and parking is a shit show. read more

Came in during the week and had our choice of places to sit. Note- their parking lot is SMALL and half of it is reserved for the other business in the strip mall. I can imagine during dinner on the weekends parking is rough and requires you to park down the side streets. We were greeted promptly with water and menus and service throughout the meal was very attentive. They place a pitcher of water on the table with water glasses, which is nice, however the glasses are extremely small, so we kept needing to refill. We ordered the Garlic Soy & Spicy wings to start. It's nice you can do 5 of each so you get to try both flavors. Was definitely too large of a portion for a lunch appetizer but glad we tried both. They were nice and crunchy and the sauces were flaborful. For our meals we had the Pork bun lunch special, , beef bulgogi lunch box. Pork buns came with fries and were really tender. The lunch box had so much food and the egg was cooked perfectly. The meal was really good and was more than enough food for 2- we took home leftovers for lunch the next day. Will definitely return for take-out or dinner. read more

I came here on a Sunday around 1pm. They even honored their lunch specials on the weekend. My friend and I split the pork bao and the seafood pancake (pajeon). The pork bao was very tender, surprised it had a mayo sauce on top, but still good. The seafood pancake was crispy, but a tad too much of the pancake and could've had a bit more seafood in it. I got the tonkotsu ramen and the broth was bold and creamy. Very good! They only gave two pieces of pork belly and they were paper thin slices which was unusual read more

Spoonsticks is surely one of a kind in this part of town. I am so excited for more Asian foods popping up throughout the island. It was incredibly easy to make a reservation on their website and I certainly do recommend making one especially if you plan on going there for dinner on a weekend. As everyone says, parking is very much not an option in their small lot... but fear not, street parking is easy to find. We ordered the soft shell crab bun and pork belly bun as appetizers, tonkotsu ramen for the kids, and a spicy rice cake and spicy pork bibimbap. - Soft shell crab bun: I was concerned about the sauce overload. However it didn't drown out the soft shell crab taste... shockingly. I really enjoyed this appetizer. Fried nicely. Delicious. So worth it. - Pork belly bun: Okay so this was just half decent. I was expecting a pork belly that melts in my mouth... but this is not the case. In fact I found it to be kind of tough. Maybe it was just mine?! Very disappointed. - Spicy rice cake: Typical. Good. But typical. Not sure why when I saw beef bulgogi I expected a fun new element... however once everything is mixed together all you taste is the sauce anyway. - Spicy pork bibimbap: My husband and I both preferred this over the spicy rice cake entree. Flavorful. Good texture. This was enjoyable... but nothing special. - Tonkotsu ramen: Not bad. Broth was rice and earthy. I've definitely had better ramen at other locations in Long Island. I would say this kind of ranked in the middle. Not the best, but not the worst. In terms of the service, they are definitely short staffed.. They are very short staffed to a point I felt like a bother whenever I needed something. They are very nice and friendly, don't get me wrong. But when you see them running around like a chicken with their head cut off you feel bad asking for things! When we entered it took a while for them to even acknowledge as we awkwardly stood there. When I asked for the WiFi password, the guy said he had to ask someone... never came back. Pretty sure our extra noodles order was forgotten as we had to ask multiple times... by then our broth was cold. Check took a while to be processed. I'm torn. I do want to try the wings and the seafood pancake... but with my mediocre experience so far, I won't exactly be running back. Maybe eventually. read more

Sadly, not for us. We had been waiting to try this place for months now, but the parking lot was always insanely full. We wised up and decided to go early on a weeknight. We were seated right away. For an appetizer we had our eyes on the Korean dumplings. I asked if you could get a few of one variety and a couple of another. You can't. Spoiler Alert: you can't customize anything on the menu. More on that later. The spicy fried Korean dumplings were actually very good and the reason we couldn't give a solo star. Alas, the rest of our visit was not as delicious as the dumplings. For my meal I wanted the veggie fried rice and to add some tofu on the side. I was told "no, you can't add tofu" Uhmmm... ok. So I got the tofu vegetable bibimbap and was not happy. The way the tofu came on the side made it quite clear that it was very much possible to just add tofu to the vegetable rice. Now for the reason we'll never return: my husband wanted one specific type of ramen but to substitute tofu instead of the beef. Can I just say...? I know close to nothing about food. I may be Yelp Elite but I'm no foodie. But I do know that one of the benefits of ramen is that it's highly customizable. I really didn't think my husband's request was unusual or asking too much, but clearly it was. The waitress politely told us that the boss doesn't allow any substitutions or customizing in any way. Although we really wanted to love this place, we didn't. At all. read more

Let me start off by saying that if you are even remotely considering trying the Japanese pork buns, get the pork buns. And if you aren't thinking about them, get then anyway. You won't regret it! These babies were absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The pork belly was so nicely flavored on its own while the fluffy bun, onions, greens, and sauce really added to the experience. We split the lunch special 2 piece combo as an appetizer, and it was by far the winner of the meal. We were still talking about them hours later! I got the spicy pork bulgogi bibimbap, which was great! A+ flavor, presentation, and portion size. Personally I would have wanted more vegetables and a runnier yolk, but I still highly enjoyed the dish and am happy to have leftovers for tomorrow. I tried a little bit of the tonkotsu ramen and thought the broth and noodles were good too. Definitely will have to return soon to try their other offerings and get our hands on the pork buns again! read more

Spoonsticks - Kim Chi Fried Rice () - Korean Near Me - Massapequa, New York

The meals are hit or miss. All of the appetizers are extremely overpriced, as well as the boba. The boba was $8 and very bad, way too sweet and undercooked boba. One meal was obviously pre cooked and refrigerated that they just threw in a scorching hot bowl which in turn burnt the rice and entire bottom of the meal to a crisp and the top was left cold. Although the miso soup is really good especially with an egg, the bone broth is great. The chicken wings are good. Decent service. If you're looking for a place with good healthy basic takeout meals this place is ok. I wouldnt order more than the basics. read more

I love, love, love this place. I come from Queens to get their japchae (glass noodles with beef bulgogi). It has such good flavor, the bulgogi is always perfectly seasoned and tender. It's amazing when it is freshly made, but I swear, it tastes better to me after marinating the noodles in the sauce and beef overnight in the fridge. It gives it a more full-bodied flavor, almost creamy. The beef bun was also fantastic, no fat, perfectly tender, squishy soft bun. This is such a great spot, and I'm so upset we don't have a place like this in Queens. read more

The real deal Korean food here. It's all good. Especially the buns. Each of us tried them - chicken, pork, and beef. Mine was nice and fluffy with a piece of crunchy chicken topped with this sweet sauce that left me wanting another. Also as appetizers the edamame and spring rolls are a must. I would go back just for the spring rolls. The garlic is in this is makes it next level delicious. I had fried rice in a sizzling pan prepared at the table, everyone else has Ramen bowls. If you like it hot, just say the word. They can give you a bowl of fire and your gonna love it. Can't wait to return read more

In my opinion ramen was OK for me. I got the tan tan the ground chicken tasted like ground beef. So happy I asked for it on the side. For alcoholic drinks I got a pineapple with tequila which was good and also had for appetizer I had the wings.wings were really good. My friends did like their Ramen they said that they would go back.Now for service I would definitely not go back to this place because we felt neglected. The servers took forever to come over. they took forever for us even to be seated even when there was available seats. I just felt like the vibes were off, a lot of people were staring just did not feel comfortable and welcomed there so for that I would not go back. read more

5 stars all the way. I can fully understand why this restaurant has a perfect rating. Delicious from start to finish! Decor is awesome! Bathroom is clean and gender neutral! Music was 80's music...you can't go wrong! Now the food... My mom and I shared fried shrimp and tempura veggies. Very delish. The two sauces that were served with it paired nicely. The tempura veggies were peppers, broccoli, onion and string bean. Very delicious. For my ramen I had Tantanmen Ramen. Very yummy and a good amount of spice. I'm definitely looking forward to my leftovers tomorrow. My mom who is fairly new to the ramen game ordered Tonkotsu Ramen. It was recommended to her by our waiter when she said she never really had ramen before. She enjoyed it. Service was exceptional. We were with a big group of about 15 people! Everyone's food came out in a timely matter and everything was correct. I would absolutely return for lunch or dinner! read more
