50 Best Korean Restaurants near Long Island City

“Erick is an amazing server. Has recommend me two different type of meat and has become my top three. Marinated steak is my favorite one. Always attentive and friendly. I come here often and I bring my friends and it never been a bad moment. Thank you Erick for serving us. We would see you soon again 👍🏽. Wonderpig is goated 🐐“

“I've always walked by this shop and wanted to check it out one day. While they have a selection of Korean household dishes/banchan, you can also order food to eat here (although there isn't much seating except for a bar at the window).

Their selection of banchan (Korean side dishes) are thoughtfully curated and made in-house. They seem to use premium ingredients and their prices reflect that. I didn't get any of their banchan as I already had a lot at home, but I did try their beef kimbap. Maybe my expectations were really high, but I didn't see anything special with it. It was good, but you could easily find kimbap that tastes just as good at a more affordable price.“

“I visited this restaurant one of the midnight for some food with my friends couple days ago. The food was delicious and hit the spot perfectly. However, what truly made my visit memorable and the reason I'm writing this review was the outstanding performance of the server.
The place seemed busy, but this server was operating on another level! I was genuinely amazed watching him work. Incredible Multitasking and Efficiency.He was seamlessly handling *everything* taking orders from multiple tables, answering customer questions, serving food, and clearing tables – all seemingly at once. The most impressive part was his consistently *excellent attitude* Despite the intense workload and juggling so many tasks, he remained incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely friendly with every single customer. I would love to come back again just for his service!“

“I didn't realize that I've been to their Flushing location 6 years ago until I searched my photo library for this review. This location is in the food court inside Hmart LIC. It was grand-opened in May. And luckily the 30% grand opening discount continued to get extended for a couple of months, so it was a no brainer for me to visit every time I was in town during this period:

- Curry Pork Cutlet $17. Nice big platter size plate, but the pork was bland and the curry had no heat. It was a disappointment.
- Jolmyun Dukbokki $12. Dukbokki with glass noodle in the mix. It was better than expected and not as spicy as it looked. Good.
- Seafood Udon $14. Clear broth with prawns, fish cakes, and clams. Not bad. But I'd have Seafood Ramyun instead.
- Seafood Ramyun $12. Spicy and additive broth with lots of octopus, some clams and 1 prawn. Definitely recommend this over the Seafood Udon: better texture, more kicks, and $2 cheaper to boot.
- Pork Cutlet Udon $14. This is better than the Curry Pork Cutlet. At least the cutlet was hot and crispy and the udon soup was comforting. Not bad.

Prices are before 30% discount. Service can be slow, particularly for soupy dishes which can take 25 minutes without line. You can return your tray etc in the back of the food court next to the bakery.“

“There is quick and friendly customer service.
The exterior of the K-Dogs my sister and I ordered (#7 and #9) were perfectly crispy, not too greasy, and the batter was fluffy on the inside. We were happy that it did not have a grainy texture like other locations. I would be interested in ordering a half-half with potato on the outside if it becomes available on the menu in the future. Seating was full inside but we enjoyed them back at the apartment. Will be recommending to friends!

Parking: Plenty of free parking on the lot. Great for grocery hauls or a stop for lunch.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly to everyone of all ages.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Elevators available.“

“We ordered the loaded fries with hunny chicken, topped with tomato and lettuce and mild sauce. It was the best fries me and my daughter ate! It was soooo good! Will definitely order again from this resto inside Food Bazaar in Long Island City“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“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.“

“The food was really good. All of it was made well and for the most part amazing service. My only issue was the white hostess told us there were no tables and seated us right by the door completely cramped. Asking another waiter he was able to move us and said we need to be done at 8 as the table was reserved. This was at 6, showing the hostess just did not seat us well and communicate properly. If seated there we were ready to leave, but because the other staff were competent, we stayed and enjoyed good food. My other issue is as the tables are small we could only eat one plate at a time. Otherwise, it was very good! I just wish the hostess did not ruin the experience from the get go, with her incompetence.“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“very good food excellent service great bbq fj“

“I was so impressed by ARIARI! Every dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors and beautifully plated. The seafood and grilled items really stood out — everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is modern yet comfortable. Such a great spot for dinner with friends or a nice date night! 🍶🍤✨“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“Absolutely wonderful without qualification. The interior design stands out. The staff member had a great outlook and ensured our first visit was entirely pleasant. The cooking remains impressive and the service stays professional. The meals were delicious, staff was responsive, and our time there was pleasant.“

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

“The food is delicious😊“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and the service remarkably and memorably friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We started with the brussels, which have a sweet vinaigrette dressing and are cooked perfectly. The ribs were meaty, not fatty, with flavorful spicing. The corn and cheese is a surprise --- on the cob, but with chili powder. But the highlight was the kimchi fried rice, a uniquely delicious and satisfying dish topped by a perfectly poached egg. We closed the main courses with seafood kalguksu, a slightly spicy noodle soup with all kinds of seafood. Best seafood broth ever. Period Every other table had the black sesame bread pudding, so we decided to try it. They were right. Don't think about the huge volume of butter involved. All in all, small plates with huge flavors served by a wonderful wait team. Thanks Gurumé.“

“Finally went to Moono and it delivered. Each dish held its own with unique flavors. We had a la carte among four of us with a bottle of makeoli and were happily filled with 1 appetizer and 3 entrees. We ordered an extra bowl of white rice which is the move as so many dishes had excellent sauces that you just wanted to soak up with rice, plus the white rice itself is perfect with a sweetness to it.

We had Hoe Muchim + Kim, Beef Hotpot, Mushroom Sotbap, and Galbijjim. It was outstanding from the cold cucumber soup at the beginning to the end. Beef hotpot is great for those who appreciate that pure beef taste and experience- it is lightly seasoned and in my opinion a great contrast to the big flavors of Galbijjim. Galbijjim is a crowd pleaser and easy to enjoy, it is a most indulgent version with meat removed from the bones. We only wished the dish were layered with more vegetables / mushrooms, which were not side characters in this dish. Sotbap was fragrant - only wished that they scooped out the crispy bits, which are the best parts. Maybe they can offer guests the option to serve themselves rather than take away and return with the scooped out bowls for each person.

Also would love to see more makgeolli options on the drinks menu.

Can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food. Good service.“

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

“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“

“This is one of the most delicious restaurants I've ever been to, and the service is worth it!“

“visit this place twice this month, the kids love it a lot. many different type of rice cakes 🍠 yam rice cake us my favorite 😍“

“A truly delightful dining experience with small plates that don’t disappoint. We particularly loved the tartare, with finely diced tomato and a well balanced ginger sesame dressing. It’s hard to believe that the words “great beet hummus” but trust me! Also the persimmon salad with yuzu yogurt - wow. We also really enjoyed the play on a bagel and cream cheese for dessert - very fun and a great punch of flavors with the homemade strawberry jam. Will def return!

Pro tip: the bathroom is a must visit.“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“Nice soup 🍜 delicious .....“

“Absolutely spectacular cuisine 😍“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

“Bottom line: Enjoy eating and drinking your way through Seoul BAP's menu!!

The food was flavorful and had a nice twist on some Korean classics. Beautifully plated, too. Our favorites were...
* corn cheese
* galbi jjim
* bulgogi bibimbap
* bulgogi japchae
Go hungry because the portions sneak up on you!

Service was considerate, prompt and super respectful. From the hostess to all the waitstaff, everyone was great with our group.

Ambiance was chill-sexy. Would be great for a group with the back area perfect for a happy hour/cocktail hour party--or even an intimate date!

Looking forward to going again soon!“

“The food is awe inspiring.“

“Got a last minute reservation, was 10 minutes late, but still accommodated quickly with no issues. It was busy when we came, but the service was still very prompt.

We came for a light dinner and got the cold noodles and a bossam plate. The cold noodles, EXCEPTIONAL. We are all cold noodle fanatics and a lot of restaurants in k-town are hit or miss with cold noodles specifically. Bossam plate was also very delicious, though I do agree with some of the reviews that it is a bit overpriced for the portion size.

Very glad I came across this restaurant when I input ‘best cold noodles NYC.’ Will definitely be back!“

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

“Nōksu is incredible! Every dish looks amazing and tastes even better — full of unique flavors that really stand out. The service is super friendly and professional, and the whole experience feels special without being too fancy. It’s one of those places you’ll keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth it! 🍽️✨“

“Fabulous! They had two Michelin stars in Seoul, and they shine in NYC. They received only one as soon as they opened this year. The wine pairing program is also on point.
Don't get thrown by the freight elevator entry, it's part of the streetscape transition to enter heaven!“

“Delicious food, the soondubu and bibimbap were SO flavorful, as were all the banchan. Soondubu is not too spicy at all, I actually appreciate a more mild soup right now. Service did forget I asked for purple rice, but they came back and apologized, asking if I still wanted it (I honestly didn't mind either way, but appreciate them remembering).“

“Went on a Wednesday night at around 7 PM and was super busy! Filled with mainly younger people and the vibe was extremely nice. We got the beef tartare, chapaguri fried rice, soy-glazed bossam, and the frozen makgeolli for dessert! Only got a picture of the beef tartare and chapaguri :(, but everything was good nonetheless.

We did find the garlic bossam a bit too oily for our liking but it was good and finished all our plates. The service was great - I noticed that there were probably a lot of reservations as servers were quick to clear off empty tables and set them up for the next guests. Would highly recommend and I would go back to try some other dishes!“

“delicious food, unparalleled attention, I really recommend it 100%“

“Solid handroll spot from the team behind Mari.

After a great dinner at Mari, I had high hopes for this sister concept. Came in for a late weekday lunch and the counter still had plenty of open seats.

I went with the 5-roll set and a yellowtail sashimi app. Everything was fairly priced and the handrolls were solid, but not the best I’ve had in this range. One detail I loved wasn’t the fish, but the sauces. Every seat came stocked with four house-made options, and the mustard soy and chili soy really added the flavors I wanted for the rolls.

Not sure I’d pick this over some of the city’s lower-cost lunch omakase spots, but if you’re after something more filling than a poke bowl and less of a commitment than omakase, this is a great option.“

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

“There’s a certain feeling you get when you come into a restaurant and you know right away what to expect and what you’re getting into, and when my partner came here for the first time, it instantly felt like home. The owner here is an absolute gem and is so attentive and kind and generous with her food which is 100/10. Come for the food, come again for the pure experience of being taken care of 💕💯“

“Some dishes truly impressed - like the oxtail spring roll and the yellowtail, and others flopped like the cauliflower (which the server failed to tell us was battered and fried when we asked about it) and the scallops. The corn dumplings were solid but could have been more flavorful. The cocktail I ordered was so sweet that I sent it back.“

“Reservations weren’t easy to snag, but the food was absolutely worth it, and surprisingly affordable. I ordered the Bucket List and tried one of each of the caviar nuggets, and everything was amazing. Perfect spot for a night out. Service was a 10/10. The staff at the front acknowledged us right away and had us seated quickly. Nothing felt rushed, and the servers were consistently attentive throughout the meal.“

“bōm is amazing! The food is full of rich, bold flavors and cooked perfectly — every dish feels fresh and thoughtful. The presentation is beautiful without being fussy. The space is cozy and modern, and the staff are friendly and attentive. It’s a great place for anyone who loves high-quality food with real attention to detail.“

“This restaurant specializes in Seoul-style bulgogi, which has a delightful sweetness that really stands out. The service was fantastic, and I especially appreciated the generous refills of banchan, which added to the overall dining experience.“
