“This is such a gem! I have been craving pork belly for a while now so I went to ssam tong today and let me tell you this place is amazing! Ordered a pork belly, pork jowl and beef~ the meat was tender and delicious! The staff is the best~ they are cute and hilarious! Love it!! Rico and the owner helped us with the grilling! They are so sweet! The atmosphere is so friendly and comfortable that it made the whole dining experience beyond excellent! I will definitely come back whenever I crave Korean bbq around the Murray Hill area! :)“
“Pretty good Korean bbq. A bit different on what I'm use too. The small dishes they give wasn't anything to talk about such as other k bbq spots. However, the meat stairs were pretty damn good and the marinaded chicken was delicious. I went for my friend's birthday, and the staff was great and even gave a meat cake. Only take away was they charged $3 extra every-time you request for extra lettuce shells which most other kbbq spots is given for free. The ambiance was excellent and very clean.“
“A box of spicy seasoned chickenA box of non-spicy chickenI ordered it and went to Florida and my whole family really enjoyed it.The problem is that a week later, the famous franchise chickenI bought the same amounthoweverMr.dak chicken isCrispy on the outside, soft on the inside and really delicious.The other chicken is crispy on the outside and tough on the inside.I don't like itMr. After eating DakI knew what delicious chicken was like.I stick to delicious chicken and it turns out thatAre you using organic chicken?thank you.From now on, just like the first time, it will continue like thisMay your business prosper.Thank you for the delicious chicken.“
“I'm no expert on Korean food but I do know delicious and this place definitely hit the mark. Upon walking into the place I knew it was going to be a good experience. The staff were super friendly and also helpful with food selection which I needed. The restaurant has a light and airy feel to it with a nice layout with an ability to accommodate smaller groups. The bar seating is a great choice if you're on your own or with a friend. The make all types of cocktails and have a nice selection of beers including some Korean options. The food menu offers some classic Korean dishes from what I learned. I went with the Spicy Squid Bibimbap for my main. Before that came out they brought me a free appetizer which hit the spot. I'm not certain what it all was but I didn't leave much behind. Apparently this is one of three locations. I really hope to be back again in the future. Enjoy!!“
“Absolutely!"Fantastic experience at Hongdae Korean! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and authentic. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was simply outstanding - each dish bursting with flavor and prepared with care.Overall, Highly recommend Hongdae Korean for anyone craving delicious Korean cuisine!"“
“I visit a lot of Korean restaurants, and I'm a fan of stews and cold noodles, and they're good at budae-jjigae. It was the closest to the taste I had in Korea. The interior was clean and had the feel of a cozy cafe. Good luck to you, owner. I'll come back again.“
“I visited this place with co-workers who recommended eating here. It's a pretty cool spot. Dark, even during the day, with flat screen TVs playing K-Pop music videos and cozy tables, cushion stools with removable lids to put your belongings in. Great idea for coats and jackets as you will leave there smelling kinda smokey. After all, they're cooking your food right at the table. By the way, when you go - go on an empty stomach. You will eat!! They have an all you can eat menu and their options are plenty. With some help from my friend, having been there before; he helped choose some dishes and they were really good. They have dips and toppings, kimchi and other little add-ons to have with your food and as you choose your meats or seafood, the server places it on your cast iron pot, you watch it cook and they'll tell you when it's ready so you can enjoy. It's very family style as you're all eating off the same pot, but the server sections off portions of food to each guest so you'll have your own area to grab food from. The bulgogi and spicy pork were really good. The homemade spam was ok. It's a very unique and enjoyable experience. Definitely coming back here and bringing my son who would absolutely love this place.“
“This has been on my list to try for a while. My only regret was not coming sooner and devouring the food before taking pics! Amazing food and service. Portions are generous and worth it. We ordered a bunch of different dishes from spicy rice cake to soup dumplings to triangle balls. 10/10 chefs kiss. Also, shout out to the young lady server. She was great and attentive! Will be coming back soon <3“
“Highly recommend the ribeye (steak and mashed potatoes) and chicken wings. With over 90 beers to choose from, it's impossible to go wrong with this place. We were taken care of by Rina, who is there Fri and Sat. Amazing and attentive waitress who knows her beers. Visit this place!“
“People here are so sweet and there is a real homey vibe. Only got the seafood pancake with the Scallion base. It was nicely seared and the seafood was plentiful. However, it really didn't taste like much at all. For $20, it wasn't that worth, but would be interested in trying other options.“
“I was craving boneless chicken and came across Don Chicken. Don Chicken is a chain with multiple locations throughout NY and NJ. If you love eating boneless wings packed with a lot of sauce, this is the place to go. Service was OK and the restaurant was a little small. Definitely seems more like a place to pick up your food and go.“
“The atmosphere is just a typical restaurant, but the taste is good. Reservations are required for boiled duck, so make a reservation a day in advance. I highly recommend it as a health food. The side dishes are basically delicious, and the staff are very friendly.“
“It tastes good, the quantity is large, the price is cheap, and all the other foods are delicious.I ordered pork cutlet from another place, but the quantity was too small and the taste was not good. So I ordered pork cutlet again from I am kimchi. ?“
“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. :)“
“Very good foodie experience with a fun fried twist.I ate the potato mozzarella cheddar which was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it and I also bought the hot Cheeto mozzarella which kids love, very filling I must say because I had no room for the second.Vegetarian options: Im glad there was options without meat it was delicious.“
“If you’re trying out a new Korean-Chinese restaurant then all that matters is the Jjajangmyun and jjambbong. Tried both and they were delicious! Classic taste and healthy serving. My only critique is the potatoes in the jjajang sauce. Not a big fan. Other than that looking forward to coming back.“
“I went to the Sweet Sap today with my mom. We were having a lunch for her birthday. The restaurant’s beautiful, spacious, and clean. My mom drank a Sprite. She ate Chicken Katsu with Rice. Whereas I drank a lemonade and ate a Fried Shrimp Burger. Overall, I paid under $60 (including a $10 tip)!Definitely coming back one day.“
“Came here on a cold rainy Thursday for lunch. Looks like a mom and pop restaurant that seats a total of 13 comfortably. We ordered the Combo Ramen and the Yoodon Kimbap. The Combo Ramen (medium spicy) wasn’t that spicy, but good enough for me. It definitely hit the spot on this rainy day. The Yoodon Kimbap is a kimbap that is wrapped in a thin sliced pork cutlet topped with a sauce that they made. This combination worked really well and the soup that it came with paired perfectly with it. I hope to visit again and try their other dishes.“
“The salads were crisp and refreshing complement. The soups, a comforting highlight, added warmth to the dining experience. A good spot to dine with friends on a casual night. Super friendly servers who were attentive but not overbearing ? The steamed egg was *chef's kisses*“
“The food tastes good, the portions are plentiful, and the prices are moderate. But the service is really not that good. I asked three times for tissues and was given one each time. The prices are not cheap anymore, and the tips have also increased. How can I be so stingy and give them even tissue paper!“

“The owner and staff are all friendly and each dish is prepared with care, making it all delicious. The roast duck is even more delicious because it is fresh roasted duck, not frozen. The sundae is delicious and the ecological stew is also delicious. When you grill the meat, you grill it with ripe kimchi, which is awesome! Above all, it's clean. I've never seen an owner in Flushing who cares more about cleanliness than Pine House. The ice machine is also thoroughly disinfected, so you can eat with your child with peace of mind. ? Thank you always ?“
“Absolutely delicious! I had their 5 tender meal with truffle fries and it was so much better and no more expensive than fast food. The chicken was just a little cold and they forgot my drink, but for the price and how good the food was, I can totally overlook it and I'll definitely come back. Solid portions and surprisingly low prices. What a great value in Forest Hills!“

“From the service to the food and even the music playing, it was all top tier. Miss Lucy was so sweet and catered to my groups little needs. Even with the language barrier I still enjoyed what she had to offer. Visit Ju Bang Jang and do forget to tip!“
“I recently went here after hearing from a friend about their food and how great it is. I have been to many of these cuisines but this one is probably one of the best ones yet. Their food is very traditional and some of these reviews are bad because they probably don’t know what traditional korean chinese food cuisine food is. I will be coming here a lot more often now.“
“This place is very generous with their portions. I tried the thick noodle opposed to the long noodle ( no pun intended). It was so savory and the noodles were very fresh. One bowl is most likely enough for two people. Definitely recommend this place !“
“Their chicken is just yummy. The wings are great but my favorite thing to get is the chicken sandwich with a side of barbecue sauce. So crispy. The only think that I have an issue with is charging extra for barbecue sauce. No one else does that. One less star for that. Otherwise great.“
“Third time ordering from Dokebi Kitchen and each time has been excellent. Fried chicken is delicious and well priced. Only mistake we made was not ordering more! Ordered the bibimbap this evening as well and enjoyed. Vegetables were fresh and rice had nice texture. Staff is friendly and attentive and the online ordering system is a breeze. Go check it out!“
“First I worried because it looked not many people inside at 5:30. However each side dishes tasted great. Grilled mackerel tasted so good and fresh. Bossam, steamed pork was good. Ssambab was great with full dishes of fresh vegetables ( I didn’t expect that much because it was winter. All veggies are expensive)Potions enough. I was so satisfied. I will happily recommend this place to my friends. Owner lady looks pride if her food and not so fast but enough kind to refill side dishes. We cleaned all our orders.“
“There was alcohol, but I went there with teenage kids. Korean idol music videos kept playing on the large TV, and the atmosphere was good.Most of the food was salty, so it was difficult for the kids, but I think it was perfect to go with beer.“
“Amazing authentic Korean tang broth. I'll go as far as to say they can rival the almighty saritgol in fort lee and I have been to saritgol many times but lately they have been closed for close to 2 months due to unknown reason. If you are into advanced level korean food in broth category and not the typical kbbq experience then it is definitely worth a visit!“
“We love coming this family style Korean place for dinner. Their food is so delicious and the lady there is very friendly. Tonight, we ordered a seafood pancake, a dumpling soup, an omelette rice, a Kimbap, it’s less than $50. I highly recommend this place. Too bad we forgot to take photos?Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian dishes.“
“The service was excellent, I didn't like that each person cannot choose the option but everyone has to choose the same one to be able to share the table (I don't like soups but my son and my husband do, so everyone we had to pay option 2)“
“This is an OG spot to get kimbap, used to come here since I was a kid! Super straight forward, no frills spot to get kimbap. They give you a cup of soup which is a plus. About ~$7 for a roll which will fill you up! I like that they have a parking lot as well.“
“Despite the store name, these donuts are a great reminder of the age old lesson - it's what's on the inside the counts. The red bean filled donuts are game changing. With the cinnamon sugar, it's nice and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and most importantly, not too sweet. And there's no DAIRY. How is that even possible. Staff are super friendly. Everything is fresh and made to order, so I would suggest eating it as soon as possible. Also order online so it's ready when you get there.“
“My first experience with Yetnal Tongdak and the original fried whole chicken was very good. Crispy skin and moist meat. If they’re able to maintain this consistency, I’m sure they’ll stay in business for a long time. I added both mayo and sweet spicy sauce on the side. They were kind enough to send a small amount of sliced onion that normally goes with their mayo sauce chicken. Their pickled radish is just right for my taste. Not too sweet and not too bland. Can’t wait to try their jokbal next time.“
“**Google Review: Mad for Chicken**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I recently dined at Mad for Chicken and had a mixed experience. The cozy cabin-like atmosphere combined with a sports bar vibe makes it a great spot for large groups. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of beers, which is definitely a plus.We ordered the 20 piece spicy chicken wings, and they were fantastic! The wings had a crispy exterior and a moist and tender interior. The spiciness was packed with flavor, and as we indulged in more wings, the heat really kicked in. It was a delicious and satisfying dish.However, we were disappointed with the crispy chicken bowl. While the sauce was great, there was an excessive amount of it, making the dish overly salty and the chicken soggy. The flavor was mostly dominated by the BBQ sauce, and the more we ate, the less we enjoyed it. I would not recommend this particular dish.On a positive note, they offer free popcorn with Asian savory seasoning, which was a tasty and enjoyable snack.During our visit, they had the basketball all-star game playing on all screens with audio, adding to the lively atmosphere. Overall, we had a good time at Mad for Chicken, especially with the great vibes and the opportunity to hang out with my girlfriend.“
“Yesterday my cousin and I visited this KBBQ restaurant. It was my first experience being able to seriously indulge in Korean BBQ food, and I enjoyed it completely.Mind you, we are black and I was a bit weary on how we would be treated at the establishment. However, everyone working there was super respectful, and boy do they give you a lot of food! Absolutely loved our main two waitresses, wish I knew their names.They did a great job of helping me understand why I was eating as I was curious on the names and type of dishes presented before me. Will definitely be back and I absolutely recommend. ??“
“We booked the room in the back for a bday party. The room fits a party of 20 comfortably. Our server was friendly and worked diligently to meet our requests. We ordered quite a few things from the menu and they came out quickly. All the food was delicious and their portions were good. This was our second time coming here as a group and they did not disappoint me.“
“Crispy Cloud opened at the beginning of November where TMB used to be. I had the beef bulgogi and spicy squid kim bob. I thought they were as good, if not a little better, than the same at Rolly Kimbap. Will have to try their customizable bibimbap-like rice bowl next time.Update - went back the next day and had a bulgogi rice bowl. It was great!“
“Came here with my family for the first time, and we were not disappointed. My family and I were very skeptical of this place because of the mixed reviews but this place is definitely worth a shot.Let me start off with the service. The service was probably one of the best service I’ve ever received dining in a restaurant. They’re quick to take your order, food comes out relatively fast, and they are very kind. Constantly asking if we need refills on the side dishes, sauces and beverages was a very good gesture.The meat was all very flavorful and tasty.I can see why some of the meat can come off as bland or “flavorless” but that’s why the sauces come into play.I’ve never tried anything like soy mayo in my life and that sauce was a really big boost in flavor.All the side dishes were also very flavorful as well and my whole family loved it.The atmosphere was also very welcoming with a diverse set of music playing in the background. Ranging from Korean pop all the way to American hip-hop.Definitely will come back and also is worth a try!“
“This bowl of soup is so comforting on a cold day! The ladies that work the front are fast on their feet and very pleasant. This place gets PACKED! But it is 100% worth the wait!My only criticism would be that i don't eat kimchi so it would be nice if there was another veggie option.“
“Inflation must have bypassed this restaurant. The price was a steal for sure, especially for pork belly. Meats were of high quality. I was surprised to come across pork rinds on the menu. My favorite was the pork jowl. Mmmmm delicious! No complaints on the service. It was pretty clean inside; no sticky tables, etc. You have to finish the meal with some fried rice! Watch how the server mixes on my video. For add-ons, they charge $1- $1.99 (eggs, spam, cheese and so forth). Will definitely be back when I’m around.“
“The hot Cheeto one was probably the best one it was amazing perfect balance with cheese and hotdogs as well as spicy to cheese ratio. Everything is made to order which is perfect but however can be a hassle when in a rush. The workers and environment are amazing“
“The food is so great. Since I moved to the neighborhood this year I never tried it before the new ownership but I'm so glad I got to come with the current owner. Just awesome quality of everything from the sides to the sashimi. If you want to leave a restaurant satisfied and full, come here (:“
“I am a public school teacher in Brooklyn. In our school, students learn the Korean language and culture under the foreign language curriculum.I took 30 students on a field trip to Queens Korean town, and we had lunch here at Sodam.Their food and services were fantastic!We are truly grateful for your interest and support in our school and community! We can't wait to visit again!!Thank you so much!From: Vista“

“I've been a block away from this place for a few years and I'm honestly upset I didn't try them sooner. After about a dozen times trying them, I can honestly say I love this spot. Everything tastes great, the portions are generous and there's a good variety of banchan. The gamjatang, croaker fish and mandu are a few of my favorites but honestly everything has been delicious so far. A gem of the neighborhood, without a doubt. I wish them as much success as they can handle.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at 신당동 즉석떡볶이 왕김밥플러싱, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance was inviting and elegant, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, providing top-notch service throughout the meal.Now, let's talk about the food—absolute perfection! Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with exquisite flavors. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, every bite was a delightful culinary journey. The chef's attention to detail and use of fresh, high-quality ingredients truly shone through in every dish.What truly sets this restaurant apart is its commitment to excellence in every aspect. Whether it's the ambiance, service, or food quality, everything exceeded my expectations.

It's the perfect place for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself to extraordinary cuisine and impeccable service. I can't wait to visit again and explore more of their culinary delights“
“This restaurant was seriously fantastic! The marinated chicken? Absolutely mouthwatering. And let me tell you, the kalbi marinated steak? It was beyond flavorful and savory, words just don't do it justice.But what really impressed me was how clean the place was, and the staff? They were incredibly friendly and attentive. And with the all-you-can-eat deal, you definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth.“
“Great Korean-style fried chickens and fries. There are other sides, beers, and very friendly staff/servers with a bar!Recommended for those who like Korean style chickens with beers.Parking: Huge parking lot in the back for the entire mall.“
