50 Best Korean Restaurants near Douglaston

“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.“

“Ive only been here once, but I loved it so much! It seems more like family or group restaurant than one for just dining alone, but I greatly enjoyed the kimchi tasting they had. It was very good for just $10, with unlimited rice and noodles. The staff was very friendly, and the service was wonderful. I will be coming back soon!“

“My friends around the area recommended this place to me because of the convenience of shopping while waiting for your order. I got the full whole chicken, with the two most popular sauces they recommended, it being the Soy Garlic and the Korean Sweet Chili. The chicken was super delicious and crunchy and wasn't too salty, which was perfect for me! When I arrived, I spoke with a super friendly young girl named Sydney who was super patient and answered all the questions that I had. 10/10 would recommend, I will definitely be coming back.“

“PHENOMENAL!!!! Top quality meats through and through. Repeat customer. 👍🏻“

“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.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Nice soup 🍜 delicious .....“

“This place became my place to go definitely!!! I had ‘Galchi jorim’ yesterday. It was BEST in NY!!!! I don’t enjoy korean food here NJ and NY bcz too sweet!!! But this place was perfect. Maybe it’s not fancy place if you are looking for but food was authentic!! The owner was very friendly!!“

“Hidden gem in FLS for Korean fried chicken 🤯

Went with a friend and ordered two combos—great value and basically covers everything you’d want 😋

🍗 Wings + drumsticks were super juicy with a thin, crispy coating. Tons of sauce options—Soy Garlic is a must, and Yummy Red has a real kick (even the medium is spicy 🥵 but so addictive).

🍗 Boneless combo was also solid—got it with a bun and turned it into a chicken sandwich 🍔 so satisfying. The tteokbokki was chewy and flavorful, and adding ramen made it even better.

They also have other Korean dishes, plus mocktails and beer. Definitely a great late-night spot 🔥“

“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“

“Great experience Daniel, Brian, and Jeslyn were all extremely nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The food and drinks were great, but the tangerine drink was so good that we ended up ordering 4 of them. Definitely coming back again!“

“It’s too far and lonely in the area by the time we got here BUT!!!!! Really loved the vibe here and the food are soooooooooooo good! And the drinks are good too I mean I know how to enjoy the sojus hahaha. Really recommend this place, it’s a hidden gem for me! ✨
I don’t know if we’d have the same taste but you should try it out! It’s so peaceful here. ^^“

“My friends and I had an incredible experience at Adam’s Chicken & Pocha! The chicken is truly special—it's incredibly tender and easily falls off the bone. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere is even better in person than it looks in photos. It has such a great vibe for a night out and also for a family dinner. Highly recommended!“

“Great spot. The guy there was really nice, it was first time eating there and I didn’t know which sauce to get for my tenders so I got a really good recommendation! The loaded fries were so good it made me so full I had leftovers to take home! I recommend coming here, the environment is welcoming!10/10“

“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 spicy cold noodles with warm, cooked bulgogi is perfect refreshment for the summer time! The spiciness isn’t too noticeable, so there’s no real heat, only perfectly cool refreshing broth. The broth came on the side in a separate bowl and the spicy sauce was not mixed into the noodles, had to mix it myself but that’s okay.

The server cut the noodles up for me upon request. I also requested no eggs because I have an egg allergy and they accommodated accordingly!

The banchan / sides are really good as well. The kimchi is fermented well!

I just stopped in because I saw the cold noodle signs and it was a hot day.

I think this place used to be Witch Toppoki?“

“Great service and friendly workers“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible First K-BBQ Experience!

This was my first time trying Korean BBQ, and **Cast Iron Pot** did not disappoint!

The food was absolutely great, and the menu offers a ton of variety, so there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.
We went with a party of four on a Friday night and were thrilled to be seated with no wait at all. The service was good, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly.

We had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Delicious food! Great addition to forest hills. Friendly staff“

“My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE this place. They have the best oxtail soup in the area and we always order it with either jokbal and/or seafood pancake. Last time we spoke with the only male server/staff (our favorite and always provides the best service) and learned that it was stewed for (?I think he said) 8+ hrs or something along those lines. They also have the best side dishes, as my boyfriend loves their cabbage kimchi. However, we wouldn’t recommend ordering the galbi as it is relatively tough and tastes like it was cooked in a pan rather than a grill. We tried some of their other soup dishes but weren’t too big a fan of those either. Usually the place is pretty cozy but sometimes they do host large parties, where it can get pretty rowdy. Definitely a hidden gem we visit pretty frequently.“

“This is very personal review.
Im crazy of sashimi.
It is very impossible to find raw live fish in other states.
But, Only N.Y and L.A. does have this because they have so enough sashimi restaurants with high demand that they could import raw fishes with acceptable Transportation costs from korea by airplanes.
This is economies of scale.
Anyway,
Sashimi was excellent for me.
Service and Atmosphere doesn't matter to me.
I was so happy to enjoy live fish.
I recommend you to visit if you like to live seafood.“

“My friend and I wanted some warm soup in the cold winter, so we found this gem around the area!

Really quick service and the owner was so considerate and sweet.

We got the army stew, seafood pancake and steamed dumplings (also can order as fried). Everything hit the spot and we even had enough as leftover to take home as two people eating!

Definitely a really good lunch/dinner spot and will definitely be coming back!“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“I ordered Mackerel Ssam, and it had a lot of colorful vegetables, so it looked good and tasted good. I tried it once and it was so delicious that I keep thinking about it!

Spicy ecological hot pot popular in winter
The more you eat it, the more refreshing the spicy taste becomes.
Stir-fried wood ear mushrooms, seasoned spinach, pickled red peppers, seasoned bean sprouts, kimchi, seasoned perilla eggplant, stir-fried anchovies and beans.
It's light, nutritious, and full of fresh vegetables, so you can eat a full bowl of rice just by eating it as a side dish.

Fresh pork, chewy meat, savory flavor
Feeling full after eating“

“This is a typical Korean BBQ restaurant and liked by many. Food is delicious. A bit expensive but not so much more than other K BBQ. Service is great. Need to choose the right time. Come early or may have to sit outdoor and wait online.“

“I like that this place is hidden among the neighborhood but what really stood out to me was how caring the owner was to each of his customers. You can tell he gets along with the regulars here and profit was not his only main concern. Service like this is what elevates an establishment and gets customers to come back.“

“a hidden gem that only really locals knows about, Daori BBQ place has the most insane lunch special spread, especially for this price (i paid ~$13). every time i’ve been, they’re especially busy around 12pm-1pm. they’re known for their bbq duck.

the deulkkae jang kalguksu (which is dinner sized) was so insanely hearty and filling. i barely made a dent in my barley rice, but i always enjoy eating that with my banchan. i had enough leftovers to have as dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow! i can’t recommend this place enough honestly.“

“New favorite place to eat in Wichita. amazing food and amazing service. 10 out of 10“

“If you’re looking for comfort food with bold flavors, this spot really hits. From rich, savory broths to crispy, juicy chicken and refreshing drinks to balance it all out Modoo has it all! Perfect for a cozy meal or a casual night out with friends. Definitely adding this to the regular rotation.

“I Am Kimchi is a quaint little place that serves insanely delicious food in huge portions at great prices.
All the food came in portions bigger than I expected, and the taste was absolutely phenomenal.
Though the place is a bit small (a few tables for 4 people and a few for 2), it only adds to the vibe of the place. It really feels like eating a comforting meal inside someone’s house.
The service is great, the servers are friendly and food comes out quick as well.
Everything on the menu I ate was delicious and the price was super worth it, and it overall felt like a nice, warm meal that I will definitely be coming back to.
10/10 would recommend.“

“staff is friendly and the dogs are incredible! highly recommend the flaming hot cheeto“

“Definitely coming back with family 🥰“

“I stopped by this store to pick up lunch and was impressed by how clean it is. The owner was incredibly kind and friendly and even recommended some of his childhood favorite snacks. We had a really nice conversation.

All the takeout food is house-made, with a great variety of banchan (side dishes) and authentic snacks. I tried a unique banchan with jellyfish, papaya, turnip, and carrots—it was refreshing and perfectly crunchy. I also had pancakes, pork dumplings, and chicken over rice, all of which were delicious. The chicken rice bowl was served warm, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be back to try more items.“

“Came here for dinner with my mom and left completely satisfied. I had the spicy seafood kalguksu (mild spicy) — the broth was clean, deeply savory, and the hand-cut noodles had the perfect chew. My mom got the spicy seafood sujebi (regular spicy) and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The seafood was fresh and the portion was generous.
The atmosphere is warm and the service is genuine — you can tell this place is run with real care. If you're looking for authentic Korean noodle soup in the area, Daesung Korean Noodle is the real deal. Highly recommend for anyone craving handmade kalguksu or sujebi done right.“

“A fantastic spot for Korean!

Each dish was prepared with the utmost quality. Every bite was exuberant and delivered a sense of comfort and flavor.

The steamed pork belly is a great sharable dish. The side dishes were fresh.

Service was great and the place was clean.

Would recommend!“

“Really enjoyed the food here and it was so good. We got the pork cutlet which was really crispy and the portion sizes were huge. The bulgogi kimbap was really juicy and practically melts in your mouth. The pricing was really fair and the total was about 40 bucks. The food came out fast and it was really fresh.“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“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.“

“학원 근처라 자주 오는데 음식이 very 빨리나오는데 짱맛있.. 허걱 ! 직원분들이 너무너무 친절하세용ㅎㅎ 꿀꿀 돼지한마리로써 먹는거 굉장히좋아하는데 강.추 ㅇi런ㅁr슨첨ㅇi양..^^⭐️ 둘이먹다 하나가뒤져도 모를 맛!“

“This restaurant serves delicious dishes like sundae soup, stir-fried gopchang, and kimchi stew, but what really stood out to me were the neatly prepared side dishes and perfectly cooked rice.
On top of that, the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming.
If you're craving authentic Korean home-style meals, I genuinely recommend coming here!“

“The best pizza ever! the customer service is amazing! ❤️ Been there a lot of times!“

“This is the most delicious Korean Chinese restaurant I‘ve ever eaten. The place is clean and friendly. I love this place and Truly recommend ~!!!!“

“We were the only customers. Service was top notch. The waitress spoke Korean and Mandarín. We ordered eel and short rib on bbq and a hot stone pot bibimbap. There was so much food. There we’re 8-10 banchan dishes. Then they brought out a veggie pancake, eggplant dish, steamed egg and soup. It was DELICIOUS 맛있는! See you soon!“

“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.“

“Wow! I woke up early and felt like trying something different. Ordered this spicy squid tteokbokki and it was amazing. Spicy 5/10 and nutty flavor. The squid was very fresh.

First time here, I’ll definitely be back with the family.“

“The galbitang broth and meat on the bone was absolutely delicious as was the dweji gukbap. The server was also sooo nice and lovely. Saw the other tables order bossam and other shared dishes and will definitely be coming back to try those out with friends“

“They are known for their duck which is really good. I tried both the regular and thinly sliced and would recommend the regular for the more “meaty” flavor as the thinly sliced was crispy and reminded me of brisket. Great service with very nice side dishes as well. Would come back!“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Overall good time. Bonchon hit right, over 5 choices. Meat was tender and flavorful. Well priced at $45 for galbi and sides. The service was selective but the person serving me up the galbi was great. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.
