50 Best Korean Restaurants near Astoria

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Prime No.7. David looked after me from start to finish and his customer service was genuinely 10/10. He was friendly, professional, and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Easily the best service I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending David to everyone I know.“

Our waitress was sooo nice and sweet, they really make sure their customers feel like they have a great meal when you come in.“

“Finally tried KAL in Astoria and it did not disappoint! We had the kalbi jjim, yangpoon bibimbap, and soybean stew. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.

Only managed to get a picture of the galbi because we jumped into the food way too quickly 😂. My wife is Korean, so her approval definitely counts and she loved it! Definitely coming back.“

“The food is actually really good, the prices are affordable too! I got a medium size boneless chicken and it was a lot of food, crispy and delicious! I also ordered rice cake which was good but a little soft to my liking but still over all delicious!“

“Totally loved my experience here! The chicken was soooo GOOD and DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS!!! Tina, my waitress, made it even better! Her customer service and welcoming hospitality was above and beyond.!!! Thank you Tina and whoever FRIED THIS CHICKEN!!! If you don’t clean the bone then you didn’t eat good chicken!!! ♥️♥️ Definitely coming back again!!“

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“Amazing, unique and delicious food in a very cozy setting. Be prepared to meet your neighbors as you adventure through one delicious plate after another.“

“Amazing modern Korean food with great flavors and a fun atmosphere. Every dish was well executed, and the service from Nicky was outstanding friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“The flavors were sublime, I can see why so many chefs recommend it!“

“I had a wonderful experience here celebrating someone’s birthday! The staff were very attentive and every dish was a hit.

We splurged for the 14 day aged duck and it was so worth it — it’s now my favorite duck I’ve had in NYC! I’d recommend coming with st least 4 people if you order it.

The pan con tomate and frog legs were surprise hits for me, and I loved the chai tres leches cake for dessert.“

“wow great fun take on traditional busan style food.
I thought the Spicy Monkfish was very flavorful and good and the dolsot albap was surprisingly very tasty. Im usually not the biggest fan of albap but this was not too fishy and the crispy rice on the bowl was very pleasant and went well with the dish.
Duck bulgogi probably least special and ok to skip but not bad.“

“Fast service, good food..“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“5/24 Update, the restaurant invited me back for a meal to redeem their service. To be fair, the restaurant was busy for yellowtail season so understandable.

The food was amazing, we got the scallops rice, salon pasta, Wagyu ribs and the clam soup. I prob would do without the scallop rice for future but everything else hit the spot. Esp my favorite, the clam soup.

Thank you Won and the Capitan of the restaurant for taking care of us! I will definitely be back soon again.

Previous update: Came as a party of one, was seated immediately. Sat and waited for 30mins, no one came to serve me or take my order.

Trendy spot, was excited to try the food, but terrible service.“

“The popcorn chicken was so good. I think it was my favorite dish of everything we ordered, and the potatoes were perfectly done. The pasta was good, but I didn’t go crazy about it. The shrimp toast was good, and the sauce was excellent. The mushroom bibimbap was tasty and had a kind of coconut flavor at the end.

The restaurant was very loud; I couldn’t hear what the people at my table were saying. The service was all over the place. They had a problem with the AC unit dripping, so they put a pan underneath to catch the water, but they dropped the pan all over the floor and into the kitchen. They didn’t seem to clean their hands afterward and continued serving customers.

The restaurant was very understaffed. The food is great, but the place needs to feel a little cleaner and more organized.“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“Delicious pea salad, steak and potatoes with chimichurri, and black sesame bread pudding. The staff was incredibly cognizant of timing since I was seeing a show. I would absolutely go back for the steak and potatoes alone! The scallop crudo could have used more balance on the acidity but that is my only note.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

“Amazing experience tonight enjoying the bar menu. The team created a pitch perfect vibe, it felt like I was at a dinner party with friends (who just happen to be wizards at food and wine tasting menus). The service was exceptional: friendly and familiar yet still very high standard when it came to the details just as any other restaurant of this level. The food had some really standout dishes and the drinks pairings were so boldly experimental and amazing. I won't soon forget my experience at Atomix.“

“Really good food. Unique service and prices are the best. I totally recommend if you want a real Korean bbq. I travel from Connecticut to flushing NY totally worth it.“

“The FOOD is fabulous. Great flavor combinations, beautifully plated, unusual but tasty food, perfect portions. I loved everything we ordered.“

“Great place to decompress, Service is A+.“

“Great food. Good service.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“The food is awe inspiring.“

“This is the todo spicy Kim chi hot pot & The rice cakes with vegetables and Tofu“

“I loved it all! We got the shared galbi dish with two cold noodle dishes. The banchans were stellar, the other reviews didn’t miss on those, but for me the spicy cold noodle was truly amazing. I’d almost just want it as its own dish, but very happy we got it.

I’d recommend the galbi to anyone or the mini galbi, eat it with some kimchi!“

“Brilliant Korean spread at Cho Dang Gol in midtown Manhatten. Specializes in tofu dishes so we plumped for the spicy tofu hotpot but also ordered some tasty beef and zucchini pancakes and spicy gochujang chicken. This eatery features on the Michelin guide and is always packed, and rightly so! Maybe a little on the sweeter side for my taste but isn’t everything in the USA? 😜 Regardless, it was stupid tasty and we inhaled everything“

“We dined at Joo Ok celebrating our wedding anniversary. From the minute we walked into a freight elevator entrance, curiosity and suspense peeked.

It’s a twelve course menu, thoughtfully executed with love in each bite. The artistry in a few of dishes were meticulously detailed.
Our top three courses were Ganjang, Crustacean and Gui. The perilla oil with the razor clams and caviar was surprisingly light, sweet with a hint of saltiness from the caviar. The langoustine was perfectly cooked, buttery sweetness. The waygu beef was tender, rich and mouthful of flavors.

The service was outstanding, attentive and friendly. Kyle was passionate about his craft, transported us through a culinary experience with his detailed explanation of the different ingredients and chef’s thoughts that goes into each dishes. Kyle and his colleagues highly deserved a shout out!

We dines at other’s Michelin Korean restaurants, from one to three stars. Joo Ok deserves their two stars in our opinions.“

“The best Korean cold noodle in Manhattan—and maybe all of NYC! They’re Pyongyang-style cold noodles served in a mild, delicate broth. The noodles have a high buckwheat content. I would rank them alongside some of the top-tier, authentic cold noodle houses in South Korea. A little more generous amount of garnish would be great, though.

Hwangtae hot noodles come in a clean, delicate, yet flavorful broth, finished with fresh perilla oil. I could tell high-quality ingredients (pollock and perilla oil) were used.

I truly enjoyed them. The sides and appetizers were high quality as well. I would visit this place again.“

“Hojokban is one of my favorite Korean fusion spots and it never disappoints every time I visit. The food is always absolutely yummy, and some of my must-order dishes are the truffle potato pancake, beef tartare, and bossam. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing Korean fusion food!“

“Beautiful it an amazing place and genesis is my dream car the bloom tonic was amazing all the cars are so cute the staff is amazing never had the food to expensive without knowing how it truly taste but the overall car experience is so worth checking out if u are in ny“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of My Favorite Korean Restaurants! Seoul BAP is not just another Korean restaurant — the food is absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of rich, authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist. It’s truly one of the best Korean dining spots in the city. The cocktail menu is just as exciting — featuring creative drinks that perfectly match the vibe and flavor of the food. 🍹 Spicy Passionfruit Margarita – bold and vibrant with a Korean-inspired kick. 🥃 Bourbon Bee Hive – smooth, rich, and full of depth. 💜 Lavender Skies – crafted with premium gin infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender, finished with a touch of Amaro — simply elegant. And the newest favorite everyone’s asking for: 🌺 Midnight Hibiscus – a hibiscus-infused vodka cocktail with elderflower and gentle sweetness. It’s beautifully balanced and pairs perfectly with Seoul BAP’s contemporary Korean cuisine. Best enjoyed with Taylor Swift’s Opalite playing in the background! 🎶✨ Come check out Seoul BAP — where Seoul meets style, flavor, and good vibes all in one place.“

“Really impressed by this little restaurant having walked by it for over a year. Was expecting a more traditional concept, but was pleasantly surprised by a fusion of traditional and haute cuisine. Think, Jean-George meets Korea.
Highly recommend.“

“Mr. Dak is definitely a spot worth visiting if you're craving delicious Korean food. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The avocado chicken cucumber salad was light, refreshing, and a perfect starter. The wings were crispy, juicy, and came with amazing flavor options. The chicken with rice was incredibly satisfying with generous portions, and the ramen was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor.
The drinks complemented the meal perfectly, and the overall quality of the food was excellent. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit.
If you're looking for authentic Korean flavors with generous portions and great service, I highly recommend checking out Mr. Dak. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!“

Our waitress was warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. Great value for the quality of the food and overall dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is the best Korean eel spot in the east coast. The eel is so fresh and tender... melts right in my mouth and the scallion salad is phenomenal. A couple owns this spot and the auntie here is so generous and nice,, I would come back just for her:) All the side dishes, especially the kimchi and bean sprouts, are made by her personally and I've never had better. This became my go-to spot!“

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

“I enjoyed the BBQ here. Our server is super friendly. Haven't eaten BBQ in a while so we all crave for it and it's a perfect time to take my son's gf who visited us here in NY. Definitely recommend this restaurant. We all enjoyed it. Cheers 🥂🍾🥓🥩“

“SEOUL TOFU is a solid option if you’re craving some good old-fashioned Korean food. This replaced Witch Topokki but they didn’t change much other than their food menu. You can still see traces of the old restaurant on the table and on their silverware.

Seafood Pancake 10/10 - So crispy! I like pancakes that are crispy all around the edges and contain a lot of seafood.
Grilled Yellow Croaker 8/10 - Good value but a tad too salty.
Kimchi Beef Soon Tofu 9/10“
