Collagen Gomtang - Korean Beef Bone Soup
C J.

Jeju tangerine fizz was a standout in this simple, delicious, attentive menu. Also ordered the gomtang. The banchan was good too- and kept coming. The kimchi is really tangy and tasty. Cozy, attractive interior. Has soju and beer.

Banchan

Genuinely thought that Woodam had serious potential to surpass Parksanbal, given their slightly more expansive but still specialized menu, fair prices, and their really aesthetic restaurant. However, after coming back to dine, I can see where they're just falling short. My fiance and I ordered the spicy gukbap, which is the same thing we got the first time around. Here's the thing - it's still good, but there's something about the soup that just lacks depth of flavor. I can't quite figure out what it is, but the overall broth is just very one note. The toppings have also changed a bit - there's less beef slices and just more tendon. Banchan here is still decent, but the flavors were quite muted and didnt' help much with changing up the flavor profiles. Prices have gone up a bit since their opening a year ago; the gukbap is now around $18.50, or $2 more than before.

Yuzu drink was delicious. Highlight is the lava balls; cheese meatball falafel breading. Soup is as expected, nothing special but a good option to have in the area. Decor and interior is great and classic, service is okay.

At this point, I have tried almost everything on their menu. It's like comfort food at this point! What I would always go back to is the lava rock cheese tteokgalbi which we always have to order 2 and the galbitang. The second time we went they were out of galbitang which gave us the opportunity to try the other soups. I had the collagen gomtang instead and it was good but I'd still prefer the galbitang which is more flavorful. But you could really tell that they cooked the gomtang for a long time because of all the collagen in the soup! Had the suyuk which was pretty good but the portion is small for a large group. We order the oxtail and short ribs jim for 2 as well and I thought it was pretty spicy. There wasn't much flavor of the meat because all you taste is spice, think this is the only item on the menu I would not get again. But def highly recommended! I wouldn't wait in line for this though and we were lucky that we didn't have to wait the first 2 times.

Sogogi - Gukbap
Christine W.

We dropped by Woodam early on a Thursday based on Yelp reviews. The dining area is clean and simple. The menu is limited to a few house specialities and the waiter provided guidance on how best to select our meals. We could have used a bit more help on how best to flavor the soups with all the great accompaniments in the bowls - we were novices! Nice, clean, good price point if you're looking for this specific cuisine.

my friend and I came on a weekday lunch and it got packed pretty quickly. There's bar seating for solo diners that I really appreciated. Their menu is limited and specializes in gukbaps. We both got the sogogi gukbap one original and one spicy. Flavor was pretty good and not too salty. THERE'S SO MUCH MEAT and the rice bowl is larger than the usual size at korean spots. My fave banchans were the kimchi and cucumbers - so yummy! IF you write a google review they give you two kimchi pork dumplings also. Would come again if I am ever in the area and craving gukbap.

NYC's 12-Hour Korean Collagen Soup. Slow-simmered for 12 hours and packed with collagen, these rich, deeply savory Korean soups are nourishing, warming, and perfect for a chilly NYC day. Tender beef, silky textures, and comforting flavors in every bowl. Your skin, soul, and taste buds will thank you. Don't forget to try the addictive Lava Rock Cheese. It's so unique! Follow me @foodie.elite on IG and Tiktok for more NYC'S great finds!

Oxtail & Galbi-Jjim (Good For 2 - 3)
Essie L.

Refreshing decor for the Flushing area, for Korean food. We usually go to the more traditional places but wanted a girls date at a nicer place. The menu is very small - we almost ordered every entree available. The soups are very similar so we were not sure which was which, to be honest. They were all pretty decent, and good value for the portions. Service was very friendly.

Anna D.

The decor is very elevated and well lit - for such a limited menu I wasn't expecting how nice the decor was. I came especially to try the collagen gomtang. There's maybe 5 dishes on the menu with 2 beverages, so easy to find what I wanted. The gomtang itself was served hot in the stone pot, with clear noodles and plenty of beef bone. It also came with sides dishes and rice, and is easily shareable if you're not too hungry! It was super warm and comforting and nice to eat all that collagen. The staff was very nice and accommodating - my friend was able to bring her baby and stroller with no issues.

Vy T.

There's limited seating inside, so there might be longer waits on weekends as they grow in popularity. The Jeju fizz was refreshing and not too sweet! The sweetest part is the sorbet on top. The cheesy lava balls were my favorite item I had here! It had a great ratio of meat and cheese to breading. The soups were a bit disappointing in my opinion. It also came with a lot more tendons than I would've like. Id prefer more meat and less tendons. I think they should consider adding salt & pepper to every table like how sul lung tang places do. The broth was a bit bland in my opinion.

Galbijjim
Anne C.

I had higher expectations for Woodam after seeing all the reviews online, and it was very decent but it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. I've had better more authentic korean places in Flushing, though this restaurants was more nicely done up and more fusion. The galbijim was tender, but nothing out of the ordinary and there was just a bit too much beansprouts for my liking that it overpowered the entire dish and the meat even. Their gukbap was good and this was better than the the galbijim, and the lava rock cheest tteokgalbi was also decent. Still a decent place but with a pretty small menu and I hope they will expand their menu for the future for me to want to go back!

Atmosphere was really cute and aesthetic along with the utensils and cups. Service from both waitresses were great, they were very friendly and attentive. Ordered the Lava Rock Cheese Tteokgalbi and it was good with the sauce they served as an appetizer. Very flavorful and crunchy. The Sogogi-Gukbap we ordered spicy and it was good, beef was tender. The sides dishes were flavorful and my favorite was the seaweed that was seasoned well. The JeJu tangerine Fizz wasn't too sweet so it was perfect. Definitely coming back to try other dishes

Oxtail & Galbi-Jjim (Good For 2 - 3)
Cyrus T.

Ambiance: newly decorated. Very modern. I like the golden bowl, and spoon. Seevice: very attentive. They asked me if I want to refill my Ban chan 3 times. Food: ordered the oxtail for 2. Mountain of bean sprout. I think it had 10 pieces of oxtail. I think the sauce is flavorable, but my wife thinks it lack favor. So, everyone has their own preference. I like the reddish, so sweet. My wide likes the pumpkin. I might try the spicy version next time. Drinks: it is delicious, but maybe there are lots of ice, I only have a few sips...

Been craving a Korean meal with 10 banchan since Ramadan. This is the only place that comes to mind…read morewhen I think of 10 banchan. Banchan: 3/5 kimchi- pretty fermented 3/5 eggs in soy sauce- decent 3/5 macaroni salad- not a fan of the stuff but standard 3/5 acorn jelly- all the flavor is in the chili sauce, wish they would add the sauce inside the jelly while making it 5/5 kkaktugi- my fave, less fermented than baechu kimchi 4/5 broccoli- how do they make something so bland- looking so flavorful? 4/5 mackerel radish- spicy, not a fan of radish that's not pickled but this is really good 4/5 potato strips- I love any type of potato 3/5 radish strips- wish it had less of the radish taste/smell but ok decent otherwise 3/5 mul naengmyeon $15- contains a slice of beef, standard, better when you add mustard & vinegar 4/5 cinnamon ginger tea- so nice of them to give something sweet to end the meal, has a bit too much cinnamon, so it's hella spicy (red hot) but really good otherwise 4/5 service was much better this time than any other time, really helps when you speak their language lol, I know they're always busy but they do need to pay a bit more attention as it's still hard to make eye contact once in awhile

This place is a little of a hidden gem and not quite like other Korean restaurants. But no gatekeeping here! We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

Came here late night with my boyfriend - we ordered the squid and pork dolsot bibimbap. so good!!!…read moreGood portions and the side dishes were delicious :) We will definitely be back

Tried this place for the first time, it was a Saturday night. We arrived around 5:30 table of 2 and…read morethere were 2 other large parties. It got busy, almost full house around 6:30ish. There's 2 waitresses and one busser, but I felt only one of the waitress was pulling the weight, while the other (maybe she's the owner?) mostly chatted with one of the table customers. I felt bad for our waitress she was so busy with fulfilling takeouts + dine ins and the dishes require a lot of servicing table side. 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. Don't come if you're in a rush.

I was at this very tasty KBBQ place a while back with one of my usual groups. The inside is casual,…read moreand our waitress, Jane, was extremely friendly and helpful from refilling banchan to cooking meats and otherwise. A couple of us shared a $13 bottle of the green grape flavor of Chum Churum, a soju. In terms of banchan, there was a bunch. Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.
