Parksanbal is such a unique restaurant — they serve only one item, beef bone broth soup, and it’s absolutely delicious! The flavor is rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic and satisfying meal!

I love coming here for their gukbap (beef & cabbage soup with rice). This is also the only thing on their menu haha! You can pick between spicy or not spicy version but I prefer the spicy version. You will also get banchan on the side, my favorite is the fluffy fried eggs they serve with the soup. They really specialize on this and it always hits the spot, especially on a chilly fall day. I came on a rainy afternoon and there was a decent amount of people. Limited seats so sometimes there can be a waitlist. I always recommend to my friends and family that love soup, 10/10!

Our go-to comfort meal spot!! They only serve one thing on their menu — an oxtail soup with glass noodles which comes with a selection of delicious sides including a bowl of piping hot white rice, rolled eggs, radish kimchi, and seaweed. The staff here is very kind and welcoming despite limited english. Definitely earned its spot on our rotation of local restaurants

I travelled just to try because my friend recommended this restaurant. I arrived at 7:45 and they won't allow me to order even for take out. Google says they close at 8pm, they should update their timings .

Very authentic Korean restaurant experience. Specializing in only one dish. Wish I had taken a picture before I ate it all up!! I recommend you get the spicy option if you can handle medium spice, and make sure to mix in the 깍두기 국물 (sauce from the radish kimchi) at the end of the dish like many Koreans suggest 🙂 it was $20 per person when we were there, you can serve yourself water and tea for free as well.

I followed an online recommendation and made a trip for the bone broth with rice. I got the mild spicy and I felt like it needed more salt. Quick and friendly service on a Tuesday afternoon. Dont think it’s worth a trek but I was quite content with my meal.
I used to come here a lot, not good anymore. Can’t use the restroom 😫 now charge extra for extra Egg now

Wouldn’t know this amazing place if it’s not because of a local friend’s recommendation! No menu since they only have one famous plate- the beef meat and bone noodle broth along with several delicious side dishes that are free to order refills.
4 hrs of cooking of the broth makes the soup and the beef bones so delicious!

$20 per person! What a gem! Strongly recommended…

I was looking forward to this place because of its one-menu specialty. But in the end, it was a simple bowl of beef soup - nothing more. That said, I did appreciate the generous amount of meat and was pleasantly surprised by the side dishes like egg rolls and dried seaweed. I don’t think I’d crave it again, but if you’re in the mood for some solid comfort food, this place won’t steer you wrong.

Parksanbal is a small, cash-only spot that keeps things incredibly simple , it only serves one dish: Korean beef soup. Your only decision is whether you want it spicy or not spicy. That’s it. And honestly, that’s part of the charm.
The soup itself is rich and comforting. Simmered for hours using beef bones, the broth comes out cloudy and flavorful, with a deep, savory taste. There’s a mix of soft noodles, tender rice, and just a modest amount of meat. While it’s not overloaded with beef, the overall balance of flavors and textures works well. The rice in the broth especially stands out soft, savory, and filling.
Korean beef soup, known as gukbap (국밥), is a soul-warming dish with centuries of history. “Guk” means soup and “bap” means rice, and this meal has long been a staple in Korean households for its heartiness and restorative qualities. The version served at Parksanbal draws from the gomguk or gomtang tradition a milky broth simmered from beef bones for hours (or even days), extracting collagen and marrow to give it that rich, comforting depth.
Alongside the soup, you’ll get a small spread of traditional Korean side dishes: roasted seaweed, a fluffy Korean omelette, ssamjang (a soybean chili paste), Korean hot peppers, and kkakdugi a cubed radish kimchi that adds a nice crunch and tangy kick to the meal.
This dish has deep roots in Korean food culture. Known as gukbap (literally “soup with rice”), it’s a staple comfort food across the country, especially popular in cities like Busan. It’s working-class food in the best way humble, filling, and made with love and patience.
The space is pretty minimal no frills, just a few tables and a calm, unfussy vibe. It’s $20 for the set, which feels reasonable for the portion and overall experience. Definitely a good pick if you’re looking for a quiet, solid meal with traditional roots.

I’ve lived in NYC my entire life. This is one of my top 5 restaurants in the city. They serve one thing. Spicy or not. And their banchan is better than any Korean restaurant I’ve been. Thank you for being around and being so amazing.
