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.

However, I ordered the skatefish sashimi nengmyun and did not like the fish due to its texture. I will also say that all of Myung Dong's neng myuns are $22, which is very pricey for what it is. I also ordered the kalbi jjim to go and it was delicious! I would definitely order both again!

The noodle texture here is excellent - it wasn't soggy even when I packed it for leftovers. The yukgaejang is a little different from the classic version at korean restaurants. It almost tastes healthier (?) because of the thinner broth, veggies, and bone marrow. The only banchans served are white kimchi & geotjeroi, but both are good. We've also ordered the donkatsu (absolutely massive) and galbi jjim. The galbi jjim takes 25 minutes, and it's definitely on the sweeter side. Not my favorite. I'll stick to the noodles & soups.

Once inside, you enter the best of what Korean BBQ has to offer. It's no wonder this establishment keeps growing - a new Commack location is imminent. No need to fear about speaking English - the staff speak better English than me! Speaking of staff - Nick was our server for a large group ranging from infant to senior citizens. He was patient with our many questions about the different types of meat and was ever attentive to all of our needs, both young and old. Nick was so good, we had the manager (who had just finished her shift and was walking in the parking lot) return to the restaurant so that we could let her know how great Nick was!

There aren't vents above the grills so the smoke can get on you and in your way (my friend was coughing and sweating a lot every time the smoke blew her way...). We tried the pork spicy bulgogi, spicy chicken, and chicken breast (plain). The marinades ran far too sweet for my likely so I ended up preferring the plain chicken and also didn't think the marinades were spicy enough. The spicy tofu soup was a great side option to have. The banchan were also all slightly too sweet for me, the soybean sprouts were my favorite mainly because they were not overly sweetened. The radish, daikon, and kimchi were all way too sweet and really tolerable for a couple bites. Also tried the grilled vegetables and bibimbap bowl for some additional veggies and rice. The service is quite good and their staff will help grill and check in on your food so you can focus on eating. The music here is a tad loud but you can still have a conversation. Per person cost was nearly $50 so it exceeded $60 per person with tip. Would only recommend if you can tolerate sweet marinades and can get your money's worth for that base cost.

There were more people than we thought would be there but not too many so it was still comfortable. With every dish that is ordered, free kimchi, banchan, rice and cold noodles are included and you can help yourself at the buffet area. Or if you don't order a dish, the unlimited sides are offered for $10. It's a really great deal and so healthy. Our spice tolerance is nonexistent but there are plenty of kimchis, pickled vegetables and other things that we tried. We didn't feel like we were limited in any way by that. The hostess, servers and other customers were so friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first time and we didn't really know how it all worked. We would definitely return for a fun and healthy experience.

*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...

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.

It's a cruise between a french fry and potato chips on a stick. Highly addictive and you need to order 2 per person because one is never enough! Tteokbokki (savory sweet & spicy Korean rice cake) could be a bit spicier and the sauce a tad thicker but still delicious!

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!
