As I brought my bowl of "Galbi Tang" which consisted of all bones + soup to the counter, the…read morereaction I got was, "It's very expensive." My issue was that the bowl was mostly filled with bones, and there was hardly any meat in my Short Rib Soup. I didn't order beef bone soup; my expectation was to get some actual Galbi for the exorbitant $26 I paid. I understand that beef ribs can be costly, but the price I paid should have included a decent amount of Galbi in my soup. I even mentioned that I'm paying the same as at other restaurants, so calling it "very expensive" didn't make sense to me. The lady at the counter was nice, but it seemed like the cheap boss was the one behind the bones-filled soup, probably instructed to save money. It felt like a complete rip-off, and I wouldn't recommend bothering with this place. Shame on the owner for taking their customers for a ride with this cheap move.

If you're looking for a comforting and classic Korean meal, MD is the way to go!…read more Myung Dong Noodle House is most well known for their kalguksu (knife cut noodles). All their noodles and tofu are made in house. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu but here are some must try. Appetizers: Seafood pancake - so crispy and filled with a variety of seafood Dumplings - super thin wrappers stuffed with juicy pork Meals: Their classic MD kalguksu - the chicken broth is so rich and the noodles are the perfect chewing texture ANY of their soondubu (soft tofu stew) - their tofu is sooo fresh. I love that each stew actually tastes different based on the ingredients. Also all the stews come with the grilled pork side which is SO good. ANY of the bibimbaps - they come in a huge stone pot filled to the brim with fresh ingredients - highly recommend the spicy squid!

I am Korean and therefore, am very picky about Korean bbq. I don't generally like all you can eat…read moreKorean bbq places because meat quality and overall taste tend to be subpar. But they are fun to go with a group, especially with non Koreans because they can try a variety of things. I've tried Kpot, Gen BBQ, and Let's Meat and they were all just so so. However Won Kbbq totally exceeded my expectations! WOW! Everything was fantastic- meats, banchans, appetizers, salads, and service!! Really, really solid and awesome. Bulbogi was tender and had the right amount to sweetness. Pork steak was also tender and perfectly seasoned. Brisket was thinly sliced and flavorful. Marinated chicken was also delicious. The servers were so friendly and attentive. They changed out the grill pan after each round of meats. We had a great lunch and will definitely be going back. My non Korean friend said this is her new favorite restaurant. A large parking lot is another huge bonus!

Maybe it was because there were so many birthday celebrations there lol Anyway, the menu includes many items. Most of the meat we ordered were good and the servers were very helpful to cook for us. The kitchen items were just so so. Also, the ventilation wasn't so good. The cooking smoke kept blowing towards my face. I had to switch seats with my husband. If you are in the area and crave for kbbq, that's good. But if you want better kbbq experience, queens has better options.

*ppffffffffffft pffffffffft* (well, that was a bit more flatulent than usual)…read more"Very good, now can you blow a B flat?" So this is it, I am now the 3rd trombone in the stage band. Repressed memories bite in weird ways as I thought back at my high school days while munching on cold fermented veggies - back in the heady days of the early 90s when cellphones were analog bricks and a PC was a beige tower with an IBM logo embossed upon it, I was once a shot nosed, pudgey asian kid. I thought a Trombone will help me talk to girls (go with a guitar or a ukelele instead), and since I wasn't selected for the computer club, I ended up at stage band class at my NYC specialized high school. When you don't really care enough about playing to be good at it, you are going to sound mediocre, and when half the room is also winging it, the results were merely tolerable. After the band performance at an assembly there's a potluck, and they are ready-made, heat-and-eat affairs with items from CostCo or Boston market. It's a checkmark on someone's calendar, an obligation to be fulfilled without much passion or excitement. Just like the students' dispassionate stage band attendance, their boughie parents are feeding the class with an easy "out" - when I grew up in Corona the poorer kids and their parents did their own cooking, and I had some really spectacular food during the school potluck days. In the presence of affluence you trade quality for convenience and lost a sense of thoughtfulness... All of that rushed back into my head when me and the missus ended up in front of a fancy-ish storefront in Suburban Douglaston at what was formerly an Italian sunday gravy joint (Giadinero?) but now as a Korean eatery. Something seems off though...It's 1p Sunday - where's the customers, and why is it so devoid of the aroma of food? Kimchi is essentially the resurrected Kumgangsan, a former restaurant chain with locations at midtown K-town and downtown Flushing. They had a banchan store called Jangchi Jangchi but they went away during the 2020 pandemic. They promised a 10 dollar Kimchi sampling menu with rice, soup and noodles - this sounds great in early 2025...but is it worth it? Taken from a perspective of a community service joint, yeah, you won't leave hungry as it's all-you-can-eat. But if it's intricacies of Korean cuisine that you desire? Not so much. It's not that the cooking is bad, it's unexciting - for a tasting menu where you hope to taste the difference in kimchee varieties they are all about the same - fresh, cold, sour, but none particularly spicy, salty, funky or interesting. If your Korean auntie made something like this and she was told by her doctor to go easy on the salt or sugar for health reasons, you'll nod then gratefully enjoy. However, this is from an actual kimchi store and It's definitely very mild tasting. The same can be said about the shitake mushrooms and daikon banchan - the daikon is "soft enough for grandma" and both it and the mushrooms tasted like they fished it out of something else and marinated to recycle the ingredients. In addition to the 10 dollar kimchee tasting menu they also can serve you seollongantang, Galbi, bokkeum (squid) or the kalchi (grilled fish) at the typical price for a normal Korean sitdown with soju and a full menu, but they don't seem to have much turnover nor excitement. It felt like your Korean auntie's retiree cafeteria - to reinforce that assertion, when we ordered some steamed pork dumpling we got something that's a bit more bland and watery than expected, kinda like the challah and matzo ball soup at a diner frequented by retirees. We didn't go for their jarred kimchee afterwards as it was too plain for our likings. If we pass the area and want to get something cheap and filling, we might stop by...but with so many choices in the area it'll be tough to convince us to return soon...It was like sitting down in front of the band practice room with a trombone without much drive or excitement for it. Definitely an overly flatulent C minor...

First off the name was misleading because I was literally thinking it would be a food court setting…read morebut it is a restaurant, mind you not fancy, but still with wait service. The waitstaff were attentive and helpful. Only complaint about the setting is that every time someone went in or out, a rush of cold air would enter. Try not to sit too close to the door. As far as the food, daughter and I just ordered soon dubu (soft tofu stew) and ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes). We're Korean so flavor profile wise, it seemed to cater to non Korean palates. The soon dubu was not spicy and had too much of a sesame oil flavor and the ddukbokki was sweet with no spiciness at all. I think if you are non Korean, the seasoning was good and the food flavorful, just not the flavors we were expecting. Also, although the menu makes it seem like you have to pay for the banchan (appetizers), we did not, it came with the staple kimchee, and a couple other dishes. Not sure why they had prices on the menu unless they charge for refills? They also gave us this yummy ice cream bite for dessert which is usually unheard of in Korean restaurants. Having said all this, I do want to recommend this place, it was a nice local restaurant to get some Asian dishes with a great waitstaff.

Lee's Korean Kitchen in Port Washington is a clean little take-out spot right on Haven Street by the train station. The owners are friendly, and the food was to my liking. We ordered 20 wings (10 original and 10 soy garlic), French fries, and coleslaw. The coleslaw tasted really fresh--it wasn't drenched in slaw marinade nor overly sweet. The fries were good, with a nice amount of herbs and not too garlicky. The chicken, though, was obviously my favorite. I enjoyed both the non-sauced and sauced ones. The seasoning was spot on, and the wings were all a decent size. The original ones had a nice coating and were perfectly seasoned. The soy garlic wasn't overly sauced, and because the coating was done right, it still had a crunch to it even after a 12-minute drive. Definitely going to come back and check out some of their other dishes.

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!
