Woodam is a wonderful addition to Flushing. Love that it is a unique Korean joint with a unique interior design/vibe. So sick of Szechuan, hot pot and bubble tea. The food here is great value and service is attentive. My favorite dish here is the Sogogi Gukbop. read more

I visited with my unnie on a Tuesday night for dinner and we were seated right away. Service was professional, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the sogogi gukbap (beef and rice soup), cheese tteokgalbi (deep fried beef/pork meatballs stuffed with cheese), and Jeju Tangerine Fizz drink, which I added some Saero soju to. Everything was SO delicious! I loved the cheese tteokgalbi, which were even better with the rosemary lime aioli dipping sauce. The gukbap had a strong, savory broth and rice came on the side, so I enjoyed dipping it into the soup. The beef was cooked perfectly. Our meals also came with plenty of banchan, and the baechu kimchi had a slightly sweet flavor that I enjoyed quite a bit. Woodam advertises as "Korean comfort food," and that's exactly what you'll find here. Korean soups are so comforting, and everything we had was 5/5 perfection! read more

Between freezing to death and metal fragments in the food very unwelcoming for a hearty soup vibes place. Temperature-freezing cold in there bring your jacket. Rating not related to temperature There were literal pieces of metal Brillo or something in my partners rice bowl. Most of the rating is related. But it happened. The collagen bowl lacked depth to the flavor of the broth. Very meh. I love collagen and tendon dishes most of the time. The appetizers and fizz drink were nice additions but not enough to hold up the rest of the experience. read more

I was looking for new spots around Flushing and Woodam immediately caught my attention. I saw soy marinated crab on the menu and my eyes lit up, but it's currently out of season. I'll be back for that. What I ordered: - Collagen gomtang (Korean beef bone soup): Very good! The beef ribs were extremely tender. The broth was clean, clear, slightly oily, and overall very comforting. Must try! - Oxtail & short ribs jjim: Generous portion size. We went with the soy garlic glaze, which was decent but the flavor profile was very mild. I would have preferred more sauce for a richer taste. The meat itself was very tender. The banchan is unlimited, which we loved. The black fungus and spicy cucumber was my favorite. Servers were friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a solid experience. I would recommend it and plan to return. :) read more

Had an amazing dinner at Woodam! The Galbi-Jjim braised short ribs are a must-try; the meat is incredibly succulent and pairs beautifully with rice and their house-made banchan. We also loved the cozy, relaxed atmosphere and the highly attentive service. It's the perfect spot to wind down with friends over comforting food and cold drinks. read more

So delicious! They don't take reservations but overall service is really fast and if you come for an early dinner (around 5) there will most likely be seats. They start you off with barley tea and water, and we also got the jeju mandarin fizz which was 5/5 delicious - not sweet at all, fizzy, with a nice iced sorbet situation going on at the top. Here's what we ordered - Lava rock cheese tteokgalbi (5/5): so delicious and not heavy at all if you're worried about that. It was surprisingly not oily, the meat was plump and juicy, and there was just the right amount of cheese. The dipping sauce was also surprisingly light and complemented the dish well - Collagen gomtang (5/5): wow this soup was so flavorful and had so much depth. The meat was so tender too - Gukbap (4/5): I loved the veggies and glass noodles in this one, but the soup itself was on the salty side, a bit salty for me Unlimited banchan refills and the kimchi was some of the best I had! read more

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. read more

Overall 5/5: Returned here and changing my review from a 4 to 5 stars. Came back here with the GF on a Friday night after work. Delicious food, relaxing ambiance, and friendly service. Everything got slightly more expensive since last year but still worth the experience. Would recommend trying. Food 5/5: We both got the original flavored gukbap this time - Gukbap 5/5: Delicious and hearty soup. A decent amount of food for the price, despite the $2 increased compared to prior. I could have gone for more food but was full after helping finish half of the GF's food lol. - Jeju tangerine fizz 5/5: Refreshing iced, carbonated, tangerine drink with sorbet on top. Helped balance the richness of the soup. GF loved it. Taste a little more like grape fruit to me though. Ambiance 5/5: Dim lighting, low volume music, and overall chill atmosphere. Service 5/5: Friendly service. No complaints. Different waiter from last time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Really great place for Korean soups! Their galbitang was very flavorful and comforting - perfect for a chilly day and if you're feeling under the weather. Each soup came with banchan and rice.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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.

I stopped by late afternoon on a weekday and luckily there was no wait. I ordered the beef rice soup and a Jeju tangerine fizz drink. Woodam's most popular item right now is probably the beef soup which comes with banchan, rice and roasted seaweed. The drink came out first along with a dessert spoon to eat the tangerine sorbet in the drink. It was icy on the outside but very sweet in the middle. The drink was filled to the brim so be careful when drinking it. A very refreshing citrus drink that wasn't too sweet! I accidentally spilled some and the staff noticed right away and gave me napkins. The beef rice soup came out piping hot. It came along with 5 small side dishes which were mostly kimchi and potato salad. My soup came with one giant piece of bone on beef and it was tender enough that I could use my chopsticks to take off most of the meat. As the soup started to cool, I felt that the beef flavor of the soup seemed to become more concentrated and umami. I wanted to drink more of the soup but the spoon was a bit small to do that (I wish they had ramen style ladles). It also came with enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts and green onions. At the end, the check comes with a small piece of bakwa dessert to end a very filling and satisfying meal. I'd love to comeback to try their oxtail and galbijim dish. read more

Woodam was very busy when I stopped by for a late weekend lunch -- the place is deceptively large, but didn't have that many tables -- and our party of two had to wait roughly 15-20 or so for some spots at the bar to open up. It was quite comfortable overall, and it was nice to see the plating and prep for some of the dishes in front of us. The menu is not very large, so we ordered one each of the sogogi-gukbap and the suyuk to share. The sogogi-gukbap was so delicious. The broth was very fragrant without being too salty or oily (paired so well with the bowl of rice), and each slice of beef was really tender and flavourful. The banchan were all really delicious, too -- egg salad was surprisingly good.  The suyuk was also quite delicious, but a little less consistently so. Some cuts of meat were so soft and practically melted in your mouth (tasted amazing with the soy/aioli sauces), but some of the more tendon-y cuts were a little harder to chew and weren't as flavourful. It was hard to compare the two dishes, since I felt the best slices from the suyuk were better than the sogogi-gukbap, but overall the sogogi-gukbap was a more well-rounded, solid meal. Price point was quite decent, and I think it was definitely worth the quality of this meal. I would love to come again sometime and try the tteokgalbi (basically the only other thing on the menu?)  -- it seemed quite interesting on others' tables, but we (correctly) didn't think we could finish it all haha. read more

If you want something with flavor, order the first item on the menu. The Sogogi Gukbap. It has a hearty broth and the meat is flavorful. The collagen soup is more collagen than lean meat. You have to really want that collagen with minimal flavor. The suyuk slow-simmered beef was okay. Maybe I don't know how to eat it. Even with the pairing sauces, it was a bit lacking. In conclusion, order the first item, add the extra meat and make that a meal. The banchan was great and they offer to replenish. Yay! read more

Pretty surprised I could get an authentic and hearty korean beef stew set with banchan for ONLY $16.50, located in the heart of Flushing!! It's never too hot for a comforting bowl of korean beef stew. Woodam only opened recently, but when I visited for dinner, the place was super busy and packed.  Their menu is small so you can't go wrong. I tried the whole menu and can confidently say it is 100% worth the wait for both the value and the quality. ＊Solgogi - Gulbap (Original/Spicy) $16.50 Honestly, at this price, the portion was WILD. I counted at least 15-17 slices of tender beef in the soup, served with rice, seaweed, and a generous spread of banchan. The whole set was packed with protein that there's no way you're leaving hungry. ＊Lava Rock Cheese Tteokgalbi $9 These deep-fried balls were made with galbi, pork patties and mozzarella. Super addictive, especially when I dipped it in the rosemary lime aioli. ＊ Sukyuk - Slow-Simmered Beef $21 Tender sliced beef and jelly-like beef tendon, assorted mushrooms and veggies, served with two dipping sauces. Both the fermented tangerine soy and ssamjang aioli were amazing. I literally dipped everything in them. ＊Jeju Tangerine Fizz $6.50 I highly recommend pairing this with the gukbap. It was topped with a scoop of tangerine sorbet. Super refreshing to enjoy with a steaming hot stew. read more

The place is such a vibe. I remember the restaurants that were at this location were very old school hole in the wall Chinese restaurants. So the transformation that happened for this place is amazing. The food was great esp for the price point. And quick to come out. They gave so much tendon which we love and extra meat for the gukbap really give you extra. Next time I'll just leave it as normal soup. We got both the spicy gukbap and gomtang. The gukbap wasn't more warm than actually spicy tbh but something I don't mind. It is also def more depth in beef flavor than the gomtang. Gomtang was def cleaner soup which was what we were looking for. And loaded with tendon. Enough so that it jellied when we brought leftovers home, which is an amazing sign of the type of ingredients they used in their. I'd say for the soups, it's more def a cooler weather type of food. Very homey and no frills Also we asked if dogs are allowed and they are! We prob stay nearby the entrance where the window seating is at but it's great to know. read more

Back in San Francisco, I had oxtail and kalbijjim from Daeho with their cheese, and I've been craving it since! I eventually heard about Woodam and saw that they the dish as well. Trying Woodam's take on the dish, I do notice a difference between the two. I also had their galbitang short rib soup. I find the broth to be too rich and I enjoyed the soup! read more

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. read more

I honestly love how this spot has a small menu!! You come here for one thing and that is beef! This place serves really delicious food at a great price. The sogogi gukbap is priced at $16.50 and comes with a large pot of beef soup with chunks of tender beef (falls right off the bone!) with rice and banchan. There are also two shareables on the menu when I dined last week: the lava rock cheese balls and beef slices. The lava rock cheese balls reminded me of arancini! Very delicious and had a great rosemary lime aioli for dipping. The beef slices were high quality. If you're only dining as a party of 2, maybe just get one app to share - two apps for 2 people is too much, considering how big the portion of the beef soup is! If you're with a party of 4, it's worth to try both apps and share amongst the group. I'm typically not someone who orders a non alcoholic drink with dinner (I just stick to water). But with only one specialty drink on the menu, I had to try, and it is so worth it. Try their Jeju Tangerine Fizz. Also so good. I ordered the sogogi gukbap as spicy while my partner ordered the original. He felt that the original, although delicious, was very much comfort food while the spicy version had more flavor. It's really up to personal preference though. TL;DR next visit I'll get the fizz + sogogi gukbap. Perfect combination to satisfy my belly! read more

Went here for a dinner last Friday night upon looking for some good food in the area. Really enjoyed our meal all around. Nice interior, seems very modern, fast service, and a very simple but easy to choose menu offering. For the four of us, we got our own soup which came with a ton of side dishes, and we got the spicy galbi jjim too to share. I think we actually didn't need it, given we had more than enough food but it was still worth trying since it was our first time there. I'd definitely go back in the future! read more

So the first thing i'd say about Woodam is that this review is a bit old at the time of writing this review and any feedback to that isn't meant to reflect whatever quality they have in the future which I'm sure will go up. Woodam is a restaurant with fantastic service and a very homely vibe. Let's start off with that. The service staff were amazing and as someone who doesn't normally care that's a big compliment you guys have fantastic staff. The food, so the food as other people have said is very homely I do think it could use. bit more flavor. I thought the beef was really tender and the banchan was fire but i'd say my friends were not too satisfied with the flavor of the soup or pancake in particular. Was a bit under seasoned at the time that we went. If that was fixed it'd be a great spot to go to in winter read more

I was not satisfied by the food ...the menu was small so you'd expect every dish to be carefully curated and chosen but it didn't feel that way at all.
