This place is a nice Korean restaurant in Murray Hills, near the LIRR. Lots of authentic dishes. Appetizers like seafood pancakes, bibimbap stone plate, japchae, shorts ribs... Tasty tofu stews with a large variety of ingredients one can choose from. Seafood, beef, vegetables; different types of noodle or rice; broth spice level.... Lunch specials are available too. Shaved ice desserts. When in doubt, you can go for the boxes that have a little bit of everything. Service was a little slow, due to the minimal staff but friendly manager. Parking was hard to find, useless you got one for the few parking spots in the front. Open pretty late. Definitely one of my go to places.
Super cozy and accommodating setting. The food was hot and absolutely delicious! Felt super yummy, but not heavy and it was well balanced.
3.5 stars for the overall tasty food and hospitality. Walking in, some of the online pics didn't seem to match what we saw but I'm guessing either management changed or decor changed. The interior is simple, very typical of an old Korean noodle shop or casual fast food; decorated with wooden dining tables and partitions. The dividers lend more privacy for a conversation setting. We ordered the grilled octopus, seafood pancake (we asked for no shrimp due to my allergy) and started with a rolled omelette for an appetizer. Everything was plated simply and no frills. The ban chan offered was quite delicious. This style of kimchi was not too spicy and it was basically cut cabbage but for once, I was able to eat most of it. So I'm guessing for those looking for the spicy kimchi, this one is mild. The cucumbers were the best. Refreshing and pickled nicely with the bean curd skin. While we ordered the grilled octopus, it didn't quite seem grilled enough, both in taste or color. Very tender so we still enjoyed it, just wished it had some char. The rolled omelette was really good - had that home made touch. And it had good seasoning. I think my favorite dish though, was the seafood pancake. I I've never had it with that crisp edge and semi even golden pan fried appearance. It was one of the better seafood pancakes I've ever had. And I really appreciate that they accomodated my shrimp allergy. Many restaurants must have the batter pre-mixed and don't leave out the shrimp but they did. I also ordered a white grape soju but I didn't care for it much. I normally equate white grape juice to a sweet flavor profile and despite knowing the brand, It still tasted like cough medicine. I'll skip for next time and stick with the more classic flavors like peach or citrus. I would like to return to try some of their meat dishes but just to get a fair sampling of the menu. They offer bimbimbap, tofu stew and bento box entrees so I know I didn't get to try everything.
Ziggle Tofu & Grill is one of my favorite spots to get soondubu in Queens. Sundubu-jjigae is a soft tofu stew, filled with silky tofu, vegetables, and optional meat, all in a spicy broth served in a clay pot. I usually get the seafood stew and Ben opts for the beef stew. It's hot, hearty, comforting, and delicious. The tofu is silky and soft which gives the dish a little bit of a creamy texture, and a whole lot of jiggle. I like to get mine mild, so that I can taste every flavor. We also ordered beef short ribs and beef bulgogi with our soondubu dishes. Love the beef short ribs (galbi)! For appetizers, I always go for their seafood pancake - one of the best appetizers here. One of my favorite parts of my meal at Ziggle is that they have a mango shaved ice on their menu. It's a really fun dessert where you smash the white chocolate mango shell that's filled with mango purée. It's refreshing, and is paired with walnuts! Ziggle Tofu & Grill (149-06 41st Ave, Flushing, NY 11355) Open daily 11am-3am
The Beef Soondubu Jigae was filling, perfect for chillier weather when paired with the hot tea. The service was great; the staff was friendly and attentive. On a weekday afternoon, it wasn't too loud, which made this spot perfect for a comforting meal.
Came here because it was open late night around 1230am ! Place is very clean and spacious! I was impressed by the banchan they serve you with the meal. It consisted of the following: Potato salad, bamboo shoots, cucumber, fish cakes & Kimchi! I also got a side of steamed egg. I could've made all that into a meal in itself. I ordered the tofu ramen with beef & kimchi. It didn't look appetizing or filling but I was wrong! The bowl depth is crazy and everything just worked. Tofu was silky, kimchi and beef was enough, ramen was al dente ! I left stuffed and happy. Curious about the other dishes here! TIL next time!
Ziggle is always a good spot to choose whenever I want korean food and do not want to go all the way to northern. This convenient location is right across from the Murray Hill train station. The restaurant is not overly big but also not too crowded when I have been there. The wait staff is pretty attentive and very accommodating. Dining with a child can be difficult and such a mess but they were so nice and helpful. They served us all with hot tea but gave my babe a straw cup with ice water. They start you off with a small tray of banchan like spicy pickles, potato salad, marinated tofu skins and kimchi. We like the soondoobu tofu soup here which can be so warm and comforting especially in the winter. The tofu is so soft and silky and the broth very flavorful. The seafood pancake was thick, crispy and chock full of big pieces of shrimp, squid and other seafood and perfect to soak up any alcohol haze. The seafood noodles were generous that we could not finish it. The galbi short ribs were tasty and tender. We also like the ziggle box meal. The bulgogi or spicy squid are solid choices and comes with egg drop soup, rice, garden salad, omelette, scoop of potato salad, japchae glass noodles, tempura shrimp and perfectly fried dumpling and eggplant tempura. A tiny taste of everything to satisfy your FOMO. They also have bingsu shaved ice now so no need to even find another place for dessert. Love this place for a casual night out with friends, good food and perfect portions leaving you full out into the night.
TLDR: Ziggle is a local restaurant in the Murray Hill area that specializes in soondubu. Good spot for a late night meal, they're open until 3am. Kimchi beef, yook jeon are the way to go. With BCD gone, Queens has been looking for a soondubu spot. Ziggle has filled that void and is great for a late night meal. The soondubu is a bit more chunky than BCD's - good to get a combo as well. The soondubu can get quite spicy if you ask for the max, so be careful. The gentleman who works the late night shift is very generous with the banchan and nice to talk with.
The 11am - 4pm lunch special is one of the best Korean lunch specials in Flushing. Some prices look a bit hefty, but you can actually share most of them with your SO, which I recommend, otherwise you would be stuffed. Just take a look at the most recent lunch special menus in the pics section along with doing a key word search of the reviews. Today, I went with the $8.95 soon tubu jigae (with pork) special. You choose between beef, pork, seafood or, I believe, dumpling...you also choose the spice level. It comes boiling hot along with a whole egg. The bonchon comprised of mashed potato salad, marinated mild radish, tofu skin, cucumber kimchi and bokchoy kimchi...all were excellent. Were it not for the 2 beers, the total would have been less than $10 (and I believe a little cheaper if you pay in cash). Winter's coming, get ready for the hot stews! Oh, btw, if you order dishes from the main menu, then you will get a complimentary steamed egg (been here for dinner before).
I enjoy coming here. They have good Korean tofu soup. This place is good if you are also looking to come late night. Wait staff in late nights can be very lite, so the wait can be a bit longer if there are multiple customers. The place is spacious and you won't feel like you on top of each other. I do come here often and the food in general is very good. They have some good combos and prices are fare.
Came here hungry and left happily overfilled! My friend and I shared the Squid Combo with Kimchi Beef Tofu, Seafood Pancake, Japchae, and Egg Stew. Everything was delicious, but the Japchae and Egg Stew were the real winners for me. Also, the cucumber banchan was amazing. The seasoning was perfect--not too salty--and the food felt very comforting and warm. Great spot for a hearty meal.
This restaurant is located on 41st Ave and 149th St, where many restaurants are located. There is both residential parking and meter parking available, along with the Murray Hill LIRR nearby. I've been here a few times now as it is conveniently located near me, and it is a solid place to get your Soondubu (tofu soup) fix. Inside, the restaurant is clean and does not look run down. My most recent visit was with my family, and one of the items I ordered was the Bibimnaengmyeon. It was nicely flavored, with a mix of sweetness and spicyness. The most important thing was that the noodles were not dry, which is sometimes a problem at other restaurants. For the soondubu, I chose the beef soondubu and chose the extra spicy option. You can also make it into a combo, which is what I did. The kalbi combined with the soondubu makes an excellent pair! As I frequently compare the flavor of the tofu soup to the more known restaurant that has been closed for a while, I think this restaurant is a good alternative. At the end of your soondubu meal, remember that you can make your own Nuringji (scorched rice with hot tea/water). You can ask the staff to pour the water in for you when you're ready. From their banchans, the spicy cucumbers were definitely a favorite. We kept asking for more refills! Staff at this restaurant are courteous and are able to help you if you need something.

Family and I used to love this place so much but it fell short tonight. Not sure if we want to come back either. The hot stone bibimbap would have a nice crust on the bottom but there was nothing today, we even left it on for 5 minutes to let it cook longer but the cast iron plate wasn't hot enough. My beef tofu noodle soup wasn't flavorful, they never came by to ask if everything was alright, didn't refill our drinks or take any dirty dishes away even though our table was filled up with dishes. We also asked for refill on our banchan but the guy didn't bring it so we had to ask the lady. Time to find another tofu place near us . read more
The beef short ribs were good, some pieces were a little burnt but I didn't mind lol. The tofu soup with the rice was very filling. This place is definitely comfort food. Service was good, very spacious inside. Definitely would come back. read more
A solid place to get some soondubu in the Murray Hill area. Not much of a wait to get seated, service is also decent. My go to dish is definitely the soondubu with kalguksu noodles, kimchi and beef flavor, mild~. Not too spicy for my pallate and is very filling. I really like that they offer a lot of baachan side dishes (and refills). Also really like the hot steamed eggs! Ambiance is casual, noticed depending on the waiter you may encounter endless playlist of kpop girl groups while another prefers kdrama OSTs. Parking is limited but there is a small space in front of the restaurant, I usually prefer to find a spot in the neighborhood though. read more

I was looking for a K-BBQ place that I didn't have to cook at and found this gem. My party was filled with meat eaters on a budget with empty tummies! Food: 5/5 When I get KBBQ, I need to get some meat (beef kalbi), Japche, and scallion pancakes. Little did I know that they would give us a steamed egg on the house! I love the tea here, but you can also ask for water or soda. The food here was on point and on budget! ~$100 (after tipping) for 4 people, say less! My favorite combo is the tofu soup (seafood flavor/ regular spicy) and beef kalbi. It is a large serving of each, very shareable! Ambiance and Service: 5/5 This is Korean restaurant, please do not except Western style of service (aka: servers checking up on your table constantly). Everyone here is super nice. They are happy to explain the items on their menu and how to eat them (aka: how to use the raw egg in your tofu soup). All in all, this is my go to budget eats for KBBQ. The prices for combos are amazing and I don't have to smell like smoke after KBBQ. read more

Love that they're opened late night. Ordered their combo and it comes with short ribs. Will come back for other stuff. read more
Came here for lunch. There is a small parking lot out front. If you get here early enough you can snag a spot. The service was okay. Looked like there was only one waiter and a busboy. Open space but not a lot of seating. The food was sub par. Nothing was really good. Potion size was good but the taste was all mediocre. Some of the food tasted burnt and a lot of it was overly oily. read more
SDB for $15?? Sign me up! I got the beef seafood SDB and it was delicious. Mild was the perfect amount of spicy for me. They're very generous with the rice and it's the super sticky Korean white rice that's perfect for SDB. They gave a lot of side dishes as well. I loved the genmai tea they serve. They charge an extra 3.5% if you pay with card so bring cash! They have an ATM machine in the restaurant. If you're ever around Monday-Friday 11AM-4PM, their lunch special SDB's are only $12! read more
Missed New York food so much and first thing I wanted was Murray Hill Korean food. IT WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE!! Dropped in at 11PM and it was one server running the restaurant. The restaurant was so randomly busy on a Tuesday night but he handled it well. He was the sweetest and gave us lots of Banchan (the little side dishes. That was the best banchan Ive ever had, so fresh and lots of it. He even gave us a steamed egg which was AWESOME. We all got tofu stew ramen and the portions are so big and prices are reasonable for that amount of food there is and taste. Definitely coming back to try the desserts because I've heard good things about the shaved ice. Very clean place overall and cozy! read more
Ever since BCD (Bayside) closed, I've been on the hunt for a soondubu replacement. Saw Ziggle on my search and decided to bring my parents there. There were only two waitresses but they did a good job handling all the orders and tea refills. That's why they get that extra star. As for the food, we got seafood pancake, dumpling tofu stew, kalbi plus stew and grilled eel. Everything was OK but the only thing we would get would be the short ribs, seafood tofu stew with noodles and maybe the eel. My hunt continues. read more
This is not the most popular place in Murray Hill yet but it's pretty up there for the flavor, price, service and the appetizers you get as complimentary dishes. Ziggle has one of the best appetizer dishes among Korean restaurants in town. We ordered a spicy pork bulgogi and tofu stew (with seafood and beef) combo, which goes well with the rice. If you are a spicy food lover, go for the very hot version of tofu stew- it will make you sweat for real! We also got the kimchi pancake and Yuk Geon, the fried battered beef. The portions are huge so, go hungry! Price for food is also very reasonable! read more
Came here on multiple occasions now and every time this spot does not disappoint!! Banchans are amazing and so is their soondubu which is what I normally get when I'm there and what they are known for! I get their beef soondubu but have also tried their pork and seafood. Would definitely recommend this spot for dinner or a late night munchies since they close 3AM! If you come during lunch time, it's even cheaper! They do have a small parking lot that can fit 1-2 cars so it's very convenient if you drive and they do a cash discount!!! read more
Fast service, great food, great price!! Love this place. And they open until 3am!! I've been here multiple times after work and it hits the spot. I usually get my kimchee beef tofu soup with rice and they give 4 sides of Banchan, steamed eggs and kimchee. All just for myself! The Banchan are unlimited! Food comes out piping hot! Perfect for a cold night! read more
Best soondubu I've had in Queens since the demise of BCD out in Bayside. In short, the soondubu sits in incredibly flavorful broth, the rice is excellent since you get the crispy bits and the banchan here is fresh and taste's great. The service here is fantastic and the dining area is clean and not cramped so you don't feel other diners on top of you. The best thing however here is the price. They charge between 15-20 for a stew and it's well worth it given the quality of the food. This will be where I go to from now on if I'm craving tofu stew. read more
Got the lunch special which is so worth it!!! They run their lunch special from 11-4 Monday to Griday and it's only $9 for any tofu stew and rice. The banchan was also pretty good and their seafood pajeon is not bad. There was a good amount of people dining and the service was average. Overall, it's a pretty good place to have lunch. read more
My go to spot in flushing when I'm craving soondubu jigae. Service is quick and no frills, I'm usually immediately seated upon arrival. They start you off with tea or water and really good banchan (my favorite is the steamed egg). We've tried appetizers like the seafood pancake and it was delicious. For mains, the tofu stew always hits the spot and is a classic. I'm usually too full to order any dessert but they do offer different shaved iced flavors! The price is pretty reasonable and comparable to other Korean restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend if you're looking for tofu stew or authentic Korean food in the Murray hill area. read more

Service is always great at Ziggle. My second time here since last summer and since outdoor seating is gone. We got there right before the lunch rush ~1pm and service was great. Our banchans and food came out really fast. I got the tofu stew with beef short ribs combo and my bf got the sesame mushroom stew with spicy stir fried squid. It also comes with an order of rice in a clay pot which makes it nice and crispy. It was a lot of food and we were definitely super full by it. Tip: bring cash so you don't have to pay for a 3.5% service charge read more
If you are craving tofu soup also know as soondubu this is the spot. I opt for their seafood and beef soondubu, you can also choose the spice level and of course I got it spicy level: hot. The soondubu is very flavorful and the hot spicy level is perfect for me. It comes with rice or you can add ramen or knife cut noodles for additional $2. Their side dishes is very tasty as well. They give cucumbers, radish, mashed potatoes, kimchi, fish cakes and even steam eggs. I will definitely be coming back and I can't wait to try their other dishes. read more

I had the most pleasant encounter here with a middle aged, Korean staff member (I think he's the manager). He might as well have been a saint descended from the heavens to provide service at this fine establishment. (TLDR: brought my dog out with me, looked for a place to eat with outdoor seating, got treated super rudely by another Korean restaurant, and eventually stumbled across Ziggle) I have nothing but praises for the staff at Ziggle; they literally made my boyfriend, dog, and I feel like family members. Even though we sat outdoors, our water was ALWAYS full, we got banchan replaced whenever it went empty, and the steamed egg was hot and DELICIOUS. Our server brought my dog water and fish cakes to eat. He SPECIFICALLY washed the marinade off these fish cakes for my dog. BLESS THIS MAN'S HEART. My boyfriend and I each ordered the galbi and beef soondubu combo. The galbi was tender, well seasoned, and a bit on the sweeter side. Pretty standard galbi I'd say (pretty much the same as Tang's). The soondubu was definitely the food highlight! The tofu is on the firmer end of soft, so there's a little more bite which I appreciate. They did NOT skimp on the beef, as I had beef in every bite I took! The soup was mild but very flavorful regardless. And you CANNOT forget about the rice. Oh my jesus, the way they make the stone pot rice at Ziggle is *chefs kiss*. The rice was golden on the sides with that PERFECT crispiness on the bottom. This was the most impressive rice I've ever had with Korean soondubu no cap. Come for the food; stay for the service! If I'm ever craving Korean food in Bayside, I know where I'm eating. read more
What a wonderful dining experience. Fabulous food -- with some Korean staples like bibimbap and some new creative dishes like rice patty noodles and ramen with cheese in a spicy red pepper sauce. And a dessert with a fruit shape you can crack open with a spoon and yummy goo then mixes into the shaved ice. Even the green tea there is extra delicious. LOVED IT ALL. But the best part of the experience by far and away was the hospitality. David greeted us with a huge smile and walked us through the menu. And then Niru and Minji made us smile by giving us excellent service throughout our stay. We were so pleased, we hugged them all before leaving. We couldn't have been treated in a kinder way. Instead of being a nice meal, it became an experience we will cherish. We were having a hard day, and we left feeling like they warmed both our bellies and hearts. We can't wait to go back, and say hello to our new besties. PS "Ziggle, ziggle, for sure!" Just kidding, but I want to rewrite the Wiggle, Wiggle song in its honor! read more
I finally made the trek to Ziggle, and it was totally worth it! Prices are reasonable, food was tasty, and service was amazing! While you can walk from the Main Street station, I recommend catching the bus which will drop you right in front of Ziggle. I went with my friend on a Saturday around 7pm, and the restaurant was about half full. The tables are nicely spaced out and there is catchy kpop in the background. We ordered the seafood pancake ($18.95), mandu soondubu ($13.95), LA galbi ($29.95), and the mul naengmyeon ($13.95). Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. One unique banchan was the fluffy steamed egg, which may be why they are named Ziggle? Another thing I enjoyed was that their mild soondubu was actually mild. It had a nice flavor without making it uncomfortably spicy. I saw this mentioned in previous reviews, so I want to agree that the manager is what makes Ziggle amazing. This man radiates positive energy, and really shows gratitude toward the customers. He never let our banchan go empty! This is really rare, as I feel like you usually need to feel awkward asking. I will admit that none of the other servers can match his energy, but not many people can be that level of wholesome. We were interested in trying the dessert, but they had run out.

Came here few nights ago for a late night eat! We're craving a hotpot or tofu soup. Came across of Ziggles online so thought to give it a try! Walked fifteen blocks to this location!! Seems like a hotspot for the locals in the neighborhood because it was a full house. The service was great and quick! The appetizer (Korean Banchaan) was alright ... the potato salad was bland it needed some salt, the fish cake was too chewy and fishy, the marinated cucumber needs proper portion of the marination spice it lacked. The side of kimchi was good however it was too sweet. They have various options of the tofu soup. So we got one plain tofu and I got a dumpling tofu soup. Which the dumpling consisted of beef & veggie. I would definitely get the dumpling soup again just disappointed on the tofu portion... but it was tasty! It also came with a side of white rice. We also ordered steam egg in a hotpot which I recommend!! If you're coming to Ziggles bring cash!!! read more
