A great hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant. They only serve one dish (or rather, bowl). And it's beef and cabbage soup with rice. Also known as Sogogi-gukbap (소고기 국밥).
Only 2 questions are asked:
1) how many people?
2) spicy or not spicy?
And those are the only questions that need to be asked. The servers are nice and attentive.
There's a reason why this place has been here for as long as it has.
The food is delicious and the best way to describe...read full review
there’s enough restaurants and eateries in New York that you’ll never have to eat at the same place twice but this place is amazing and has been amazing since forever. come hungry and bring friends, you will not be disappointed!
One of my best Korean beef soup places in NYC.
Spicy one recommended!

Parksanbal is a unique Korean restaurant known for its wholesome Korean beef with cabbage soup, offering a choice of spicy or non-spicy. The restaurant features a one-dish menu, serving only this signature dish, the beef meat and bone noodle broth, alongside several delicious side dishes that are free to order refills. Despite having non-Asian staff, Parksanbal provides a distinct soup rice style from North Korea, creating a memorable dining experience.
The small open kitchen allows diners to observe the staff in action, adding to the restaurant's charm. While some reviews mention a slightly sour taste in the soup and a need for more salt, the overall consensus is that the dish is delicious and hearty, with a generous amount of beef and various side dishes, including egg rolls, dried seaweed, radish, jalapeños, and soybean paste.
Parksanbal's quick and friendly service, along with the bustling atmosphere, contribute to a satisfying dining experience. Although some visitors feel the $20 price tag may not reflect the level of authenticity, the restaurant continues to attract a loyal following, often with a decent wait time, and is highly recommended for those seeking solid comfort food.
