Korean Restaurants near Carle Place

“AWESOME KOREAN RESTAURANT IN LONG ISLAND: I’m not a foodie and I don’t think I’ve ever posted about restaurants (but I am Korean) - I have to make an exception for this place. Yes, this restaurant is on Long Island, but the Korean food EXCELLENT (better than lots of places in Flushing) and service is OUTSTANDING. Every dish we’ve tried so far (짜장면, 순두부찌개, 육개장, 제육덮밥) has been so amazing, delicious, and authentic (especially the spices!!!). If you’re ever in the area, please stop in and eat here. It’s crazy awesome! Thanks to my friend for encouraging me to try at a Korean restaurant that is not in Queens. My family will be forever grateful - five stars and 2 thumbs way up from me and my family members. :)“

“The staff and the food was amazing! My family and I went to celebrate my birthday. The host Mia and Elena was delightful and our server Minerva was gracious and accommodating. The manager Michael then gave us the birthday special which was the song and celebration along with a comped meal for me (with ID). Amazing!“

“Ordered takeout from Don Chicken on Northern Blvd and went for the Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken and it did not disappoint. The pieces were pretty big, juicy inside, and had that trademark Korean fried chicken crunch: thin, shatter-crispy, never greasy. The soy garlic glaze was spot on savory, garlicky, with just enough kick to keep me reaching for another bite.

I also tried the Sweet & Spicy flavor not bad at all, just leaned sweeter than what I usually like.

What I really appreciate is how Korean fried chicken is different from the fried chicken most of us grew up with. Instead of a thick, heavy batter, it’s double-fried a method that actually came about in Korea in the 1960s and 70s when fried chicken started getting popular alongside beer (“chimaek,” short for chicken + maekju/beer, is now a whole culture). That double fry gives you the crunch without the grease, and the sauces like this soy garlic add layered flavor instead of just salt and breading.

For takeout, it traveled well too the chicken stayed crisp even by the time I got home, which tells you they’re doing it right. Generous portions, bold flavor, and that authentic K-fried crispness make the spicy soy garlic the clear winner for me.“

“Went to Fly Chick to the Moon last night with three other people, and it turned out to be a great experience from start to finish.

We started with the guacamole, which was clearly made fresh to order. It came out in a cast iron dish and had a nice chunky texture with avocado, tomato, and onion. You could taste how fresh everything was—simple, clean, and really well done.

For appetizers, we ordered the boneless chicken, parmesan fries, and fried pork dumplings. Everything came out hot and crispy. The boneless chicken had a good crunch on the outside while staying juicy inside, and the parmesan fries were loaded with flavor—salty, cheesy, and hard to stop eating. The fried pork dumplings were another solid choice, with a crispy exterior and a flavorful filling.

For the main course, we went with the taco party platter (16 pieces) for $62.40, which breaks down to about $3.90 per taco—honestly a great deal for the quality and variety. The platter included four different types, with four tacos of each:

Taco al pastor (adobado pork with grilled pineapple)
Birria tacos
Beef kimchi tacos
Tacos de asada

Each one had its own distinct flavor. The al pastor had that perfect sweet and savory balance from the pineapple, the birria tacos were rich and satisfying, the beef kimchi tacos brought a nice fusion twist with a bit of tang, and the asada tacos were classic and well-seasoned.

Fly Chick to the Moon recently expanded their kitchen with Chef Noe Emiliano, bringing in more authentic Mexican options. We’ve always enjoyed their fried chicken wings, but now having Korean-Mexican tacos on the menu really adds another layer to the place.

If you’re planning to go, there are some great deals during the week. Tuesday is Taco Tuesday with a buy-one-get-one-free taco offer, and Wednesday is $1 wings (minimum order of 10). Both are seriously good value.

Safe to say, I’ll be back—probably every Tuesday and Wednesday.“

“What a great culinary treat to try Korean kimchi from pickles, radishes, cabbage, carrots, onions, scallions, etc. Very refreshing vegetarian options served with wild rice and hot tea. Great probiotic and prebiotic food options to help make digestion easy and light.
For Pescatarians, they have very delicious fried fish like mackerel that even my kids enjoyed with kimchi once I took the fishbones out of the fish.
Thank you for a tasty, informative, and refreshing meal that our our whole family enjoyed. 5 stars.“

“A newly opened Korean spot that’s definitely worth checking out. We ordered the kimchi pancake, beef tofu stew, and their jajangmyeon over rice. The standout was the jajangmyeon over rice—really delicious, and not something I’ve seen offered at many other Korean restaurants.

The restaurant is very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We’ll be back to try more dishes.“

“Friendly service and great food. Hidden gem. Tonkotsu Ramen was unbelievable.“

“This study investigated whether a single meal could simultaneously achieve crispiness, juiciness, and exceptional flavor. The results were conclusive. The chicken exhibited a remarkably crispy exterior while maintaining a tender and juicy interior, and the sauce was evenly distributed with an excellent balance of sweetness and spice. The burger further demonstrated strong structural integrity, generous portioning, and a satisfying combination of fresh vegetables and crispy chicken. Based on these observations, Mom’s Touch provides statistically significant evidence that fast food can be both affordable and genuinely delicious. Further visits are strongly recommended.“

“Delicious, every item! I love ordering from here, there are so many options to add different items to salads and soups. All are delicious.“

“This place really hits the spot for some comforting, delicious, satisfying noodle and rice dishes. Cold noodles were chewy and perfectly al dente - tempura on top was crispy and delicious on its own. Soondubu is seasoned well and their mild spice was perfect for my sensitive stomach and liked that each soup came with a side of grilled meats. We also had the pork dumplings which complemented well all the different flavors. Service was quick and friendly.“

“$16 per bingsoo. It taste good but I advise that you mix it before because the sweet syrup is only at the top so the lower you get it gets bland. The amount is way smaller than I expected. Overall it’s okay. Took so long to get our order though.“

“Will come again, definitely recommend“

“The vibes here are just hitting the spot. The G spot. Always a foodgasm when I come here and order the Soy Garlic Wings. Excuse me for my language but I think that everyone should try and experience this specific Pelicana. The workers here really take care of our needs.“

“What a lovely Korean fried chicken spot nestled away inside the back of a supermarket. 98% halal menu which is awesome. Try their chicken sandwiches, onion rings & variety of sauces. Their flavors are unmatched! You'll love them just as much as I did.“

“Incredible night! Food was incredible“

“We had the rainbow roll, maki combo w/tuna maki, salmon maki, and crab maki and an eel maki combo and everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Great portions, excellent presentation, and the service was on time, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommend Samurai Sushi of Williston Park.“

“The flavor is Rich and fresh. All of the vegetables are nicely cooked. Perfect for 2 people. Comparable to the ones in Flushing’s! Beef meat could have better. it tastes like the beef in “beef with broccoli” in take out dishes (sweet flavor). It is still good“
