I think it's become a favorite! Came in upon recommendation and the food blew me away. First off, like everyone said the banchan was impressive. They gave so many different varieties! And I'm not sure if this was standard, but I had my kids with me and they gave us a little dish of the crab cakes. They also had white kimchi! I've never seen that in a restaurant before. We ordered the lunch special combo and it was so filling and good. I love it when I leave a place full and content. The Galbitang was melt in your mouth good. The kids devoured the Kalbi and they're not big meat eaters. The soondubu! Wow, I use to love going to BCD and ever since they closed, I couldn't find a go to tofu place and this might have changed that! I'll def be back to try other things on their extensive menu.
Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I have been here three times now. I had Korean BBQ the first two times. Last night, I had some soup/stews and marinated raw crabs. I would say this is a very solid restaurant overall. While the Korean BBQ was decent, my favorite thing so far is definitely the Black Goat Soup from last night. I would definitely go back for that again. My second favorite thing might be their Soy Sauce Marinated Raw Blue Crabs. The Galbijim was super tender, but the sauce/soup was way too sweet. The owner is a super friendly old lady from Seoul, who has been in the US for 60 years. She chatted with us and mentioned how much she loves the US and NYC. As for the servers, we were in an isolated room and sometimes it did feel like they forgot about us. When they do come by, they were nice. The restaurant does get some other local clientele, but it's mostly filled by Koreans. That's always a good sign. In an area with a growing population of Koreans, this place will be busy for a long time imho.
This place was a little farther than I usually go to eat but it was sooo goood!! My friends and I ate so much and everything was so delicious! They are known for their raw crab which I wish I could eat but I can't right now (I will be back to try as soon as possible!) but they did bring o a little bit with the Banchan any my friend thought it was great! The cold noodles were delicious as well, the texture of the noodles as well as the flavor! We got a regular one and a spicy one for the travel and both were great but I think I prefer the spicy one. The barbecue was great as well and the servers helped grill a portion longer for me once we asked them to with no issue! The store was pretty spacious and it was great that there was a parking lot because it was super cold and we didn't want to have to walk back to the car after a hot meal. Overall, everything we had we all loved and I will be back for sure once I can eat the raw marinated crab!
I am drooling just thinking about the delicious soy marinated crabs and kalbi from this restaurant. This is a wonderful spot for Korean barbecue and their other dishes are just as incredible. I was able to share many items with my party and never stopped eating. My top bites had to be the crab, kalbi and their cold noodles. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Especially that crab. Their kalbi is extremely tender and silky tasting in my opinion. It really leaves you wanting more. I'd highly recommend this spot if you're in the area but make sure you come hungry!
If Korean BBQ is on your mind and you're anywhere near Queens, Sung Book Dong should be top of mind. Our family ordered servings of both the marinated and plain short ribs and I was shocked by how tender and flavorful these meats were. The server comes by to cook, flip, and cut the meats on a tabletop grill so that all you need to do is to have your chopsticks and appetite ready. Best of all, they use a gas grill AND a low-hanging vent over the tabletop grill. I know there are folks out there who'll argue the merits of cooking over charcoal briquets (which some other restaurants do), but there's nothing worse than having dinner and then smelling it on your clothes for days to come. Ordering any of the BBQ meats not only means you get to watch the best meat-based tabletop cooking show; it also means the rest of your table space will be littered with all kinds of banchan, or free side dishes. You'll see all the standards like a dressed salad, kimchi, and sesame-seasoned spinach, but there's all kinds of other special ones here - kabocha squash salad, a savory Korean egg soufflé, and raw marinated crab. We also tried the seafood pancake, which was outstanding. Crispy, full of seafood, and sizable enough to share as a party of four, this was a lovely accompaniment to all the meat. If there are downsides, it's with the little things. While the interior of the restaurant is pretty large, the tables are fit in close together so get ready to eavesdrop on lots of conversations at neighboring tables (and vice versa). This restaurant is a hotspot for Korean BBQ and it shares space with a few other businesses in the complex, so what little parking is available in the lot goes fast. We're often better off finding street parking along neighboring streets.
OMG they had the most tender meat I've ever had at a Korean bbq place. The bulgogi and short ribs (their special marinade not LA galbi) almost melts in your mouth and wasn't too sweet. The banchan that came out was more on the simple side. Good but nothing to brag about. The cold noodles broth was like a slushie with great flavor and acidity. They do bring out extra vinegar and hot mustard on the side so if you like your cold noodles extra vinegary or want a slight kick, go for it! Super refreshing and perfect for the warm weather we've been having. Good service. Server took the time to explain/answer all the questions I had. This is not AYCE but they do have different meats as a la carte or have meat combo options. I didn't get to take a picture of all the menu pages but I included the lunch and meat combo menu. PARKING- the lot is very small. I got lucky with a parking spot in front right before lunch rush hour. There is a garage in the plaza but I'm not sure if they charge. Seems like a lot of people park on the street.
It's a restaurant tucked away in a small plaza in Little Neck. Food wise, this place is as authentic and bomb as it gets. The banchan is homemade, unique and super tasty. They have white kimchi, which is a 10/10 in taste and texture. They also give soy sauce marinated raw crabs, anchovies with peppers, and this egg omelette. I got the bulgogi dolsot bibimbap. It was a huge portion size and the flavor was spot on. The accompanying vegetables in the bibimbap were sooo good. Have also had their spicy soondubu, and the flavor was rich and deep. At the end of the meal they also give a small cup of homemade sikhye, which is super refreshing. Highly recommend this place. Service is 10/10 as well, the owner is an older lady that's always there, she's friendly and always asks us how our meal is.
We heard they are very generous when it comes to banchans so had to come and see for ourselves. The rumors are true! 11 plates of banchan is pretty amazing and uncommon these days. Tried soy marinated raw crab and the clam and spinach stew. We thought the soy marinated crab was fantastic! The clam soup had 3-4 tablespoons of minced garlic at the end which was hard to finish without getting a mouth full of garlic bits. They are known for their Korean BBQ so curious to try that next.
High quality marinated short ribs - one of my favorites in the Queens area. You pay for what you get - 1 serving of short ribs is about $56. Expect to pay about $80-100/pp depending on the cuts of meat you get and drinks you might have as well. Server will cook it for you perfectly and provide you with your side dishes, drinks, etc. Service is usually pretty good, although they are usually incredibly busy so you may have to flag someone down if you need something urgently. Several tables for bbq along the perimeter and non bbq tables in the center. Tables are good for both small and larger groups.
What the hell, this place is a must-visit. The food is fab, and you'll experience the Korean service here, but if you want authentic, this is what you'll get in Korea. So think of it as an experience and try the food. We also paid a tremendous amount for the aged kimchi with pork, DAMN. It fed 3 people with 1-2 servings of leftovers, and it was DELISH. I am bookmarking and definitely coming back... Thank you, please don't close!!
Located on Northern Blvd at the Eastern border of Bayside, Queens just before Little Neck; small shared parking lot in front and lower level small garage; offering Kbbq but come here for the soy sauce marinated raw crab and stews; good assortment of included quality side dishes; clean & well ventilated interior; casual vibe but can get quite busy; expect a wait during peak rush; call for reservations or takeout. Support your local small businesses & restaurants.
Food here is always good with friendly service. The parking lot gets crowded though so you might be able to find street parking as well. I LOVE their combo specials.

Great KBBQ spot! We went as a group of 3 and got one of their combos which was the perfect amount of food for us. Lots of good side dishes to pair as well. The meat was cooked for us and the servers were really diligent about checking in and making sure nothing burned and it was well ventilated. Everything was delicious and flavorful. read more

Really enjoyed the loud atmosphere, reminds me of Ktown... a little old school, meat quality was just ok, nothing spectacular that would require a 2nd visit. Service is insanely fast! They want to turnover the tables mad quick. We were a party of 12... so we took up precious commodity... we ordered, got food right away and finished within an hour and 15 mins. The Ahjummas kept the food moving! The bus boys removed plates quick and we ate fast. We ordered a bunch of BBQ meats, pork belly, pork jowl... short ribs, briskets... fried mandu, japchae, pancakes and soy marinated raw crabs... not enough roe... it was ok. Also got a hotpot and it was too much food... The banchans were plenty and we all left very very full! Just be prepare for a lightening fast meal. Have fun, eat and get out. #yelpinginqueens #kbbq #yelplife read more

This is the first time I've ever had KBBQ, my Korean friend kept raving & stated we had to go to one that was "authentic" so I took her word! We called another place nearby and the wait was an hour long and I was hangry so that was a quick no. I decided to call & the lady that picked up the phone said "come on by ladies!" and I knew right away this was the spot I needed to go to. We arrived and the lady was so welcoming; had our table ready. As for food, my friend took over so I honestly could not tell you what I ate - all I know is that it was delish! They end off with a cup of tea which ended the meal perfectly! A great first KBBQ experience! read more
With all the Korean BBQ places in Queens I finally ended up at Sung Book Dong. To say I love Korean barbecue would be an understatement. The restaurant is large with each table having its own hanging vacuum for the smoke from the barbecue to go into. The portions of the food are quite nice so we ordered a set of steak barbecue and a fish soup. The staff was quick to get our order and start cooking it for us. They were extremely attentive and continued to run over to make sure the food was being cooked properly and drinks were flowing. The food was quite tasty and flavorful. read more

I never leave reviews and i hate to leave a bad one because i know how it affects the business.. With that being said, I am so annoyed with the food and service that I had to write one. Got the marinated beef (galbi) and it was fatty and mid at best. The rice smelt like it was in the rice cooker for days and tasted awful. The side dishes were terrible and a quarter of it seemed spoiled. The peppers looked spoiled the lettuce was old and flimsy. Didn't even get the steamed eggs that every bbq spot gives, and they blamed it on "it's late, sorry". Expensive and not worth it, there are dozens of way better spots, DO NOT waste your time with this placed, sucha disappointment. I sound like a karen but it had to be done, step your game up if you dont want to go out of business. read more

Amazing side dishes and amazing crabs. The crabs were so fresh. You could tell because the seasoning is minimal (very light sweet soy sauce). The side dishes were so good and the white napa cabbage kimchi the GOAT. It was super refreshing. I really wanted to ask for their recipe. read more

Very busy on a Saturday night and it wasn't even 6pm. The staff was very quick to clean and set up our table for six. We ordered three meats to be cooked at the table on the grill. The Bugolgi, chicken and pork belly were the best sharing choices. We also ordered: - Rice cakes with beef broth soup (not spicy), comes with egg, beef slices and delicious rice cakes. - Japchae - these cellophane noodles were delicious, kind of sweet yet peppery. Lots of veggies and mushrooms too. - Large steamed egg, what a delicious souffle! - Mandu Gu - fried dumplings were crisp and very tasty. I liked the filling, it was a good mix of beef and greens. - chicken Bibimbap - tender chicken slices and veggies served in a hot plate with rice. - Seafood pancake - so good when it's fresh and hot, served also on a hot plate. It was a little light on the filling but the searing was spot on. The ban chan was generous and had a good variety. They offered the soy marinated crab, apple and potato salad, seaweed, kimchi, cold steamed egg, cabbage, lettuce salad, pickled cucumbers, and burdock. Best was the tofu stew. This was the perfect dinner on a cold Winter evening. The wait staff was attentive while cooking at the table and they brought out our food quite quickly. I wish we had a second to breathe! Each course came out straight away without much of a pause. We had to use some of our neighbors table space. read more

The food here is excellent! The spicy squid entree had so much flavor and the spice level was good. The short rib was marinated well and cooked to perfection. We also had the scallion pancake and the dumplings. I preferred the dumplings over the pancake but both were tasty. The service was fast and friendly, we got our food in minutes. The ambiance of this restaurant is more so mom and pop authentic food. No extra frills and loud music. It's a nice spot to go to actually sit and be able to talk to your group. Overall would highly recommend and I will definitely be back! read more

Probably more a 4.5 since I really enjoyed my experience. My party of 3 arrived around 5pm on a Sunday and it was already popping and it stayed very busy throughout our meal. Everything we ordered (standard stuff: soondubu, budae jjigae, marinated galbi and pork, seafood pancake) was tasty and I really like 1. that they cook your meat for you and 2. every table has a vent so the entire restaurant isn't smoky and your clothes won't smell like BBQ. This isn't a fancy restaurant but it really elevated the experience. Strongly recommend even for large groups as I saw a few families with ~8-10 people too. Keep in mind that there isn't a lot of parking available in the designated lot so you likely may need to park on the street nearby. We luckily found a spot that was a short walk away but I would certainly prepare for having to circle around. read more

Been to this place twice and both visits have been stellar. The first visit was mainly a Kbbq visit and the second visit was mainly a raw crab and stew visit and both were great. The place is pretty no frills but man is the food good. The food: Bo Yang Tang- Goat Stew with Fresh Sesame Leaf & Vegetables. My friend ordered this and I took some of her soup and wow, was this good. I don't think of Koreans and goat but this was a winner. I thought the goat was prepared beautifully and the broth packed so much flavor. If you are into goat, I highly recommend this dish. Ganjang Gejang Jeongsik- Soy Marinated Crabs. This dish was the reason for the second visit and it did not disappoint. The crabs were so well marinated and the crabs were so fresh. They had a wonderful natural sweetness and the marinade elevated the crab flavor just a bit more. If you can get over the idea of eating raw crab then you should get this. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LGv6uu4syywXe8FTdh0YuA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Aljjigae- Codfish Roe with Assorted Vegetables in Spicy Stew. I thought this stew was made really well. I thought the roe had wonderful texture and the soup overall had good flavor. While I did enjoy this dish, I would especially enjoy it on a cold day, I felt the dish was a bit one note. My mouth was getting tired of the flavor after a while. The goat dish I feel I could have finished the whole thing. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=T1uNsbNxyMzY2Dx-9wLDeA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more
Came to Sung Book Dong several times and definitely one of our favorite korean BBQ places on Long Island! There is a parking lot right outside of the restaurant so parking is really convenient. We never really make reservations and usually get seated immediately. The restaurant is spacious and our servers are usually very efficient! The quality of the meal is amazing, always very fresh. We usually get the kalbi and pork belly and would recommend both! What I loved about this place is that they had marinated crabs as part of the side dishes; at some point I think they took that away but still had a lot of great side dishes! Check our Sung Book Dong if you are looking for a great KBBQ place on Long Island! read more

This place was so so busy on a weekend. I wonder if it normally is this jam packed on a weekday as well. I'm curious. Went since my friend highly recommended this place. She took us there too raving about it. Now, I'm glad that I went. Everything from the service to the food was good. Just the bathroom was a bit gross. We ordered a whole array of food. I must say that the meat we ate was so tender and the way it was marinated was yummy too. It was their house special beef. It was a bit on the pricey side, but the amount of side dishes given and the service made up for it. We did get other things, but it wasn't as memorable. read more
