Chicken katsu
Hanna B.

The Basac is definitely a hidden gem. I was craving a crispy donkatsu and ordered the chicken version it was a little bland on its own, but once dipped in the sauce, it was delicious and perfectly crispy. My daughter got the ramen corndog, which unfortunately fell a bit flat. It was pretty bland, and all I could really taste was the breading. We also tried the spicy boneless chicken, and that was the standout well-seasoned and really flavorful. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, and the waiter was incredibly friendly. He even let my daughter draw a picture on the wall, which completely made her day. Now she wants to go back all the time!

What you see in Korea but you pay U.S. price. Food is awesome good and the servers are also Korean. Ambiance is totally Korean how you write on walls at your local "snack shops (where they sell fried food and tteokbokki)." Parking is a hassle, but where isn't in Flushing?! I am recognizing the cronch at Basac, you'll have fun here.

I had an amazing meal at the Basac after I've had this placed bookmarked for years. I'm so glad it was worth the wait and hype. We were a bit confused by their signage but the waiter was super patient and explained how their DIY dukbokki worked. We ordered the combo with the fish roe and cheese rice afterwards, along with a small order of boneless fried chicken. The dukbokki came out with a small hot pot burner and we were advised to eat the ramen noodles first. The rice cake and vegetables cooked down and was a good amount of spice for "regular". The fried chicken was crispy and sweet. Halfway into the meal, we realized we couldn't finish the rice cake and asked the waiter how we could proceed to the next phase for the rice. He measured out a bowl of sauce from the rice cake and added the sauce, rice, cheese, seaweed and fish roe into the pot to cook. The rice was so flavorful with umami and very cheesy. Most of it had to be packed to go but I was very satisfied. The DIY combo was a bit pricey but definitely worth the experience.

I ordered pork tenderloin cutlet from Doordash. The food looks like reused and fried again because it's hard to chewy and not soft at all.. The meat is very dark they fried again and again. I ordered when they just open and it shouldn't be like this.. If this is how they start the day, how they going to run the business?

Donkatsu with cheese
Billy C.

Went here when it was empty and dined in. It took awhile for my 1 dish that I ordered but I did notice a lot of to go orders, so I guess that's ok? Small tables and chairs. So if you're a big party or person, good luck. I was in the mood for donkatsu and ordered the donkatsu with cheese. It came with a ok miso soup, some banchan that was eh. And your typical salad at Korean restaurants. The katsu itself was edible and Way too much cheese. You do get a bottle of sauce that you can use to your hearts content. Same with the salad dressing. It was one of those meals where you say to yourself, it's ok but let me just finish it. Then you feel like garbage. Should've stuck with a regular donkatsu but I still don't think it would've been that much better. Service from the waiter was good but the food I was. It impressed with and I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon.

Cheese Katsu
Yuna C.

This katsu is fried to perfection with crispy breading while retaining the moist and tender pork texture and flavor. I really enjoyed the Cheese Katsu - the cheese was ooey and gooey in the best way possible while still being super crunchy on the outside! Paired very nicely with the refreshing cabbage salad. Best tip from our server: put the cutlet sauce in the grounded sesame seeds for extra umami and savory flavor!

Pork stuffed pepper
kristin c.

Got our usual cheesy pork cutlet and shrimp cutlet (which is breaded shrimp; just to make sure bec looked like an over-rice dish during a previous visit; comes with tartar sauce but would prefer with tempura sauce). Tried the fried rice omelet, which went great with the cutlets and the pork stuffed pepper, came with tempura sauce. I will try more of their Basac street food options next time - by piece but can make a combo of them. I liked that they left a squeeze-bottle of the dressing for the shredded cabbage. Corndog with cornflakes was just ok. Their udon broth is on the sweeter side. Pay cash for 5% off bill.

Sweet garlic boneless chicken
Inez L.

We came here because we were really craving Korean street food and this hit the spot. We got the sweet garlic boneless chicken, dukbokki, and the cheese kimbap. The kimbap was simple, but very delicious. The food comes out pretty quickly too. We enjoyed our simple but yummy meal here and I'm already looking forward to trying more food from here- I saw lots of people getting the sets and the diy dukbokki. Some people even come here by themselves and there is no judgment, just quick and easy service.

Fried Rice Wrapped with Omelette
Mei Qin Z.

The Basac is a small but spacious Korean restaurant tucked away in Murray Hill, Queens. The exterior is unbelievably unassuming, but the interior is cool and vibrant, with recycled shipping containers and black sharpie doodles for walls. Do keep an eye on the sign though as you walk down the street or you just might miss the place; I've certainly done that aplenty. * Sanuki Udon $14.95 My partner and I were shocked by how delicious this was. The udon was thick, firm, and bouncy, but the broth was the clear star of the show. I don't even like dashi and soy sauce-based broths, but would 100% reorder this. * Fried Rice Wrapped with Omelette $15.00 I just had a simple curry omurice a few days prior, but this one was in a whole other ballpark. The complexity of flavors was mindblowing; you have the smokiness of the bacon, the sweet caramelization of the roasted bell peppers and onions, and the tanginess of the ketchup and gravy. It's definitely a bit much after a few bites but the shredded cabbage on the side offsets that heaviness. * Regular Kimbap $8.00 Solid kimbap. I had my eye on the cheese kimbap (which is just the addition of a slice of American cheese), but my partner said no. Thank god he did, because the omelette left me feeling stuffed, and hence I left him in charge of finishing the kimbap :) **They offer a 5% cash discount, so bring cash!

Note the cash discount

3.5 stars overall for the food. 5 stars for the excellent service! Korean Street Food at The Basac is exactly the meal you want for a night out, simple and tasty, to get your drink on and to enjoy the warm full belly you'll have when done. My first visit was for take out so I'm so glad to have a first sit-down meal here. Everything we ordered was good and definitely street food options on the menu. I love that it's no frills and just good. Some dishes could be better but I had ordered with a select group of folks who are not so adventurous. Stick to the basics and you'll be fine. The fried corn dogs were a hit with the family. So nice to have it in house rather than to go given the texture. The fries were a hit as well, so much flavor and the sauce as well as the toppings made it a full appetizer. I ordered 6 pcs of fried dumplings. Note: the fried dumplings are by piece so you can order as little or as many as you like. These were delicious and filled with glass noodles and veggies. And my main was the cheese topokki. I am a wuss when it comes to heat but this was just tolerable. It was really good, I just couldn't eat too much. My tongue was on fire which I washed down with the peach soju. Problem solved. Hee hee Totally recommend this place for a casual and quick dinner. Perfect for the drinking buddies and those who love K-Street food. Favorite dish was still the omelette rice.

Monicka C.

Order: - Set (Tonkatsu + Spicy Rice Cakes) (4/5) - Boneless Fried Chicken with Sweet Garlic Sauce (4/5) - Fish cake with Soup (4/5) Pros: - Large food portions - Great set menus to try different katsu and sides Cons: - Small restaurant that can get busy around lunch time on the weekends - Boneless chicken can be a little dry and it doesn't help that the outside is very crispy Overall: A good spot in Flushing for tonkatsu. Definitely not the best tonkatsu I've ever had, but it's a good spot for lunch with their set menus

Cool decor
Howard H.

Few things are better than comfort food and the Basac does it very well. A local neighborhood spot, the theme is pretty neat - they use the walls of a shipping container to give off the vibe that you're eating in one. Definitely unique. The menu here is nothing high brow - katsu of various flavors, spicy rice cakes and kim bap but everything here is fresh and tastes awesome. The katsu was the perfect size and was pounded to order and then fried. The flavor was perfect as was the way they cooked the cutlet - perfectly juicy. If you've got an appetite, you can also throw in a small side of spicy rice cakes for a few bucks more which is nice in case you don't have the stomach to eat an entire side order. Prices here are very reasonable and the owners here are friendly and welcoming. If this place was closer to downtown Flushing, I'd be here every week but I'm willing to trek a bit out of the way to eat here again. Thumbs up.

DIY Ddukbokki $25.99
Emily C.

I've always wanted to come here to try the DIY ddukboki so finally I have! I came on a Saturday evening and there weren't many people inside so my friends and I were seated immediately. There were several tables inside anyway even though it's a fairly small space. We ordered the DIY ddukboki which was $25.99 and well worth the price. It was packed with rice cakes, fish cakes, thin glass noodles, ramen, and vegetables. It also cooks fairly quick so as we were eating, the sauce thickened quick and the liquid was drying out. We even turned off the burner since the noodles were getting stuck to the bottom but then the sauce got even thicker since it wasn't getting heated up anymore. It was also really spicy. I was able to handle the spice but beware if you have a low spice tolerance! Plus, there's the heat of the spice and the heat of the temperature combined, so we went through several napkins. We also ordered the cornflake corn dog with half cheese and half sausage ($5.49). This was disappointing. The batter was really thick and there was no cheese pull. I'd rather go to one of the many shops that have been opening up that sell Korean corn dogs. The flavor was also a bit odd so I didn't really like it. I also wanted to try the fried rice that people usually order after the ddukboki but we actually got very full from this and was getting tired of the spice, which can get overwhelming after a while. They didn't ask what level of spice we wanted either so maybe ask the staff about it if you choose to order this. Good spot to check out for Korean food. The menu has a good variety of different dishes to choose from whether you want noodles, rice, dduboki and more. Skip the corn dogs!

Can u pay in cash?

Yes, they prefer cash 💵

Do you guys offer vegan food and out door dining?

Not sure if anything is vegan however, theyre offering outdoor seating.

Are the korean cheese dogs just cheese or with meat? Can i get just cheese?

There's two different types of meat that you can get with it - pepper or regular. There's also another option where it's the meat and the cheese. But there's no option where it's just cheese but you can probably ask for it (no guarantees though!)

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 7 Back in the days, this was the place to go for an all around good Korean meal 24 hours of the day. Known for high quality pork belly barbecue on the charcoal grills, it actually was one of my favorites for soups and stews as well. Decades later, I am thankful that not too much have changed. It is still one of only large restaurants open 24/7 and serving a wide variety of Korean cuisine. My taste buds have changed and I've found my favorite spots for specific items, so it's not exactly fair to say I rarely come to Hahm Ji Bach nowadays because they are not good. Just not the best when I have a specific craving, but still decent for a large family or friends gathering. Here are my thoughts on food from my most recent visit a few weeks ago. Kimchi Jeon / Kimchi Pancake (5.5/10) - It was not crispy at all. Flavor was alright. Sauce was bad. Bibimbap / Mixed Rice (5/10) - This was definitely underwhelming. I didn't like the rice or sauce. Sundubu / Soft Tofu Stew (8/10) - We got a non-spicy seafood version and the tofu was quite smooth while the taste was Seafood-y. Very good. Seoullongtong / Ox Bone Soup Noodle (8.5/10) - Excellent beefy flavored broth and maybe the best item of the night. Kimchi Jjigae / Spicy Kimchi Soup (6/10) - I remember this soup being better here. Average now. Jeyuk Bokkeum / Stir Fried Spicy Pork (7.5/10) - Slightly oily but the spicy and sweet pork really goes well with some white rice. Yangyeom Galbi Gui / Marinated Beef Short Ribs (8/10) - Flavor was savory and sweet. Slightly chewy, but overall delicious. Iberico Pork Sirloin (6/10) - This cut of pork was somewhat dry, but still decent because it's a higher quality pig. Still not worth the extra cost. Iberico Pork Collar (7/10) - Better than the sirloin with more flavor and juiciness in the meat. However, don't feel the necessity to pay for Iberico. Bancahn / Side Dishes (7.5/10) - Great egg soufflé, anchovies & peanuts, and macaroni salad. Good kimchi, fish cake, shredded radish, and marinated pike mackerel. Overall meal was good and enjoyable. Service was friendly and attentive. Space is large and comfortable for our party of eight. I would recommend this old school Korean restaurant if you have a group with diverse taste buds and looking for all the classics.

Both stew were so rich in flavor, everything was cooked to perfection. Truly the perfect meal for when you need something to warm you up or comfort food. There was some sort of creaminess to the budae jjigae, I'm not sure how they make it, but it is different from a lot of stews I've had in the best way. Really good! The owners of this store are really happy and enthusiastic, you can tell they really put their heart into what they do. I would say that they don't speak a lot of English, so if you don't speak Korean they might be a little more hesitant or intimidated to speak to you. For us, service was decent!

Cuisine: 5 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 6 The short answer? The food is alright. The service is average too. I came here a few times because they have a precious parking lot. However, I wish they could improve upon their food a tad. The namesake tofu stews all lack depth of flavor and the quality of tofu feels underwhelming. Their accompanying steamed white rice also tastes too firm and not glutinous enough. Together, this restaurant does not make a better soondubu than most of the Korean restaurants around, even though they should specialize in it. Also, they don't offer much in terms of banchans, which seems like a common trend in many Korean restaurants. On the other hand, I would say that their Grilled Mackerel and Grilled LA Galbi is decent. Not good enough that I would go here for those dishes because I have many options for those items. I come for the soondubu and sadly I have given it enough opportunities to impress.

Tofu was soft and good flavor in the plain broth. Grilled mackerel was delicious. Few places make it less salty without asking and theirs was spot on! Bibimbap had good flavor without needing to add the sauce. Enjoyable meal. Would definitely come back.

She couldn't catch 1 second of break :( Food wise, we got their 2 person combo of spicy pork gamja tang and spicy rice cake which came with the steamed egg. Everything was so good, egg was extra fluffy, rice cake was delicious and the meat came right off the bones. They take a good variety of side dishes. My partner wasn't a fan of the gamja tang but due to feeling it's a hassle to eat meat with bones, so those who fee sim may agree. We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things.

This is kind of my go-to when I'm craving some good, traditional Korean food, whether it's bibimbap, galbi, tofu soup, bossam, or whatever else catches my eye. My husband especially loves their cold beef soba soup, which is honestly perfect to have after Korean BBQ! Food: 5/5 If you're looking for Korean comfort food with really good banchan, this is the place to be. I always love their kimchi, and they usually have mung bean sprouts, pickled radish, and other little side dishes to go with your meal. You know I love a good banchan spread, and they do a great job of giving you plenty of little things to enjoy alongside your food. Out of everything I've had here, my favorites are still the bossam and the cold beef soba soup. They're just such a good combination, and they really hit the spot when I'm craving authentic Korean food. But don't let that stop you from trying other things on the menu! Their mandu are also worth getting, especially if you're newer to Korean food and want to try something delicious without getting too adventurous right away. Vibes: 5/5 I'm not gonna lie, this isn't the trendiest restaurant or the newest spot on the scene. But it has that old-fashioned Korean diner vibe that's honestly hard to hate. It just makes me feel so comfortable being here. You can chillax, take your time, and enjoy your food without feeling like you need to rush off somewhere else. I love the little placemats they use as menus, and the aunties are always super nice. Honestly, it's just a cozy little experience that makes me happy. You order your food, it comes out, and then you get to sit back and enjoy. Sometimes, that's really all I want from a restaurant! All in all, I'd definitely come back! It's also pretty easy to get to, especially if you take the Q44 Select Bus Service, which connects places like Flushing-Main Street and the Bronx Zoo. Having a solid Korean spot that's convenient to get to is always a plus.
