50 Best Korean Restaurants near Oakland Gardens

“If you want Korean fried chicken that’s not a chain and actually has laid back vibes please come here. Chicken is always ridiculously fresh and overall it’s a great spot for friends

Parking: It’s shared between the other venues in the area. Most of the time it’s full but might be just enough for one car to find parking. Never had to wait long for a spot“

“Our family has been to Chilsung few times. For father’s day, we ordered the Prime Rib Eye Steak (Kot Deung Shim), Pork Belly (Samgyeopsal). The server cooks the meat for you. We also ordered stew Kimchi Jjigae, and the kids’ favorite,topokki (mild spicy).. They also have a wide variety of side dishes which are filling on their own, and they provide complimentary steamed egg and soup.
Service can be a little slow during busy days but we are lucky to have an accommodating server.

It's on the slightly pricier side, but the quality of meat and food , plus the thoughtful extras like probiotic drinks for the kids and ginseng drinks for the adults make it a good dinner experience“

“Came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised at how good their black bean noodles were. I think it might be the best ones in flushing. Also highly recommend the spicy garlic stir fried shrimp. The outside batter is super chewy in the best way. This will be my new go to spot for Korean Chinese cuisine.“

“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 .“

“Lovely, focused menu centered entirely on stewed beef in different formats. The soups are great but this is a place best visited with ravenous friends: you'll need extra mouths to feed to surmount the towering galbi-jjim, the best thing here and the best I've had. Staff do a great job too.“

“Nice soup 🍜 delicious .....“

“Mr. Dak is definitely a spot worth visiting if you're craving delicious Korean food. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The avocado chicken cucumber salad was light, refreshing, and a perfect starter. The wings were crispy, juicy, and came with amazing flavor options. The chicken with rice was incredibly satisfying with generous portions, and the ramen was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor.
The drinks complemented the meal perfectly, and the overall quality of the food was excellent. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit.
If you're looking for authentic Korean flavors with generous portions and great service, I highly recommend checking out Mr. Dak. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!“

“Family-run feel—friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The vibe is local and authentic. The food is the highlight, with well-balanced flavors that let the natural taste of the meat and fresh eel shine. Fresh banchan is another nice touch. Definitely worth a visit!“

“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“

“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. :)“

“Such a great spot!! The food was really good, the vibe was fun and cozy, and everyone was super nice and welcoming. We had such a good time here and felt really taken care of. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to friends. 5 stars for sure!“

“Came with a part of 9 to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The food was absolutely amazing. Comparable to the stuff in Seoul if not better. I was pleasantly surprised. The waitress on Friday 9/4 night was also super nice! I will definitely come back again“

“Great service and friendly workers“

“Literally the best Soondae!
It’s always fresh. It’s always moist. It’s always flavorful. The kimchi is to die for.

The daeji gukbap is what I imagine a tasting like in the Korean historical dramas. Every time I get it, I feel like one of those middle-aged uncles letting out an entire right after each sip.

I’ve probably ordered from here over a dozen times and every single time it hits this is probably the place that made me love soondae. In my experience growing up in New York. Soondae was always mid, and now it’s something I must order just to see if there is a better spot“

“The food was great; the soup was especially tasty! The only thing I’d recommend is cranking up the AC a little more in the summer as I was pretty much sweating while eating, especially when it’s hot soup. Otherwise, great!“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“Really enjoy coming here for Korean BBQ! The meat selection is great, and the spicy squid and spicy chicken are my favorites. The staff grills everything for you, which makes it super easy and enjoyable. They also have a good variety of sides. Great place for dinner with family or friends!“

“我想問如果要坐輪椅。有沒有升降電梯的“

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

“I think, at this point, it has been over a decade since the first time I came to Modoo. And I have been coming back (10-12 times a year-its a bit a drive for me lol) ever since! Not just is it amazing chicken and noodles but in my humble opinion, one of the best halal places around straight up, food, service, and vibes. If the question is should we eat and Modoos, the answer is always yes.“

“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 ~!!!!“

“So... much... food...

And all so good.

While there are many good Korean restaurants in the area, this place has amazing flavor. The flavor profile truly reminds me of the foods I had in Korea.

Growing up, my mother told us that one can tell if a restaurant is good by the taste and the quality of the 반찬 (banchan) this place had so many different types of Bandhan and all were unique and all very tasty.

I would gladly pay kore for the food, but I get it, with so many restaurants in yhe area, they have to have competitive pricing, and that's also why I highly recommend this place.

The 고등어 and soup was so tasty, one of if not the best my wife and I have ever had in US. I got the 부대찌개, and it was a crock pot brimming with food.

Wife and I agree, we just found our favorite place. We liked yhe food so much, we just ordered scallion pancakes to go.“

“Definitely coming back with family 🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“We catered about $800 worth of food from superfood for a family&friends event and everything was a hit. People rushed to take leftovers home! They also gave us service of Large assortment of korean pancakes and I loved that! All the food is so well seasoned and so fresh. Bulgogi Beef, spicy pork, spicy noodles, fried chicken, kimbap, and more!! Definitely will be catering from here forever.

Also I saw the kitchen in the back and the entire operation is spotless. Very clean.“

“Jin was exceptional! She took great care of us. All the servers were attentive and helped each table like a well-oiled machine.

The food was top notch as far as Korean BBQ goes. Very authentic and the banchan is bountiful. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Delicious. Great omakase. Chef was fantastic and seems to really enjoy coming up with menu ideas. It was a lot of food. Almost too much food though, and it would've been great to know what the dishes were or how many there were. Standouts were the mussels in broth and an acorn dish with delicious sauce.

There's a plastic tarp behind the bar that makes you feel like you're in a street market even when inside“

“This is more high end version and it’s still good. The shrimp katsu is extremely crispy as well. Although it is good but I still prefer the authentic 돼지국밥. They basically prepared everything so once u placed ur order the food will come to you within minutes. I can finish the meal within half hour from sit down to leave. Service is average since u don’t really need to interact much basically except placing order. Atmosphere and seatings are comfortable.“

“Delicious, every item! I love ordering from here, there are so many options to add different items to salads and soups. All are delicious.“

“Super tasty authentic Korean food, very good variety of banchans (side dishes), and amazing beef barbecue. Great quality food. People here are also very nice, we appreciated the friendly, attentive service both times we dined here. We definitely plan to come back here again and again.“

“We were one of the first to visit on the opening day and this is our 5th time dining again. We’ve tried most of the items on the menu. The food is always delicious, and the service is wonderful. Our waitress, Ms. Choi, is especially attentive and always makes sure we’re satisfied with our food and experience. I also love the atmosphere—it’s warm and inviting. We’ve had a great experience every time, and we will definitely be coming back again!“

“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.“

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

“Authentic Donkatsu like in GangNam Korea, amazing gravy sauce with hint of pineapple, perfect thickness good quality pork fried always golden brown delicious. Small portion of cream soup brings up appetite, Korean Japanese style hamburg steak with over easy egg just bring happiness to your life“

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

“Checked out this Korean spot over the weekend. The service was great, though the menu is pretty limited.
I tried the beef bulgogi soft tofu stew, but the veggies inside were bitter, which made the whole thing taste bitter. I let our server know, and they kindly took it off the bill.
On the bright side, the seafood pancake was amazing and had so much seafood in it! I really appreciated how they handled everything, so I’d still recommend giving them a try.“

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

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

“Love this place!!!!! Food 🥘 and service is exceptional“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“It’s a family owned restaurant with great service. The owner was very kind and the food was incredible and tasted authentic. You can tell fresh ingredients were used. I ordered food from outside the buffet and it came out quick.This is the type of restaurant that people call a“hidden gem”.Best Korean I’ve had in ny and I’ve lived here for over 15 years. Worth a try!“

“Wow it has a robot waiter and the food is very good and this is a 24 hour restaurant, where we been twice in a week and both times they haven’t disappointed.
The standout were the kalbi beef and bibim bap and the fish casserole with soup and Rice cooker beansprouts.
Of course the Banchan was“

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

“One of the best seafood pancakes and sundae I've had. This was my first time trying 청국장 (清國醬), or cheonggukjang. It has a very strong smell, almost like a really strong cheese, with an intense, deeply fermented flavor. It's quite rich and very filling, worth trying if you're curious about traditional Korean flavors.“
