50 Best Korean Restaurants in Queens

“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.“

“This spot has the best Korean BBQ Pork and plenty of lettuce to go with it. High quality meat, good texture, no smell. Setup is simple and look exactly like those in K-drama. The air suction device work well here. Got some bbq smell on my clothing but it's minor.“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant with the friendliness and stories from the chef makes this a must go for any fan of korean cooking or cooking in general. Chef encourages questions between meals and each meal has a speech before it. Really wonderful time“

“We had our lunch here in Auust 2014. We ordered the Korean tofu soup and bibimbap with oyster. The food was perfectly cooked and the service was friendly. It was like home cooking, and the favor would not overpower the taste. The price was reasonable. Will definitely return for this genuine Korean cooking.“

“After eating here, you definitely do not need to fly all the way to Korea to be able to eat good raw marinated crabs and shrimp! Everything was super fresh and well seasoned. We got the soy platter to share and it was filling for 2 people! I also recommend sikhye! Service was good, but you should definitely try to get a reservation to avoid waiting. The ambience was modern and well kept.“

“I had their one of lunch menu.
I always appreciate side dishes included their main menu.
Great service with great food.
I know all the restaurants owner suffers bad economic circumstances. Hope this business stay longer.“

“Fresh chicken cute and cozy spot in Williamsburg and everything is so good 10/10 would recommend“

“Excellent food, very good service and pleasant place to enjoy with friends or family.

Vegetarian options: Almost all of their food has vegetables but they are combined with meats, depending on the diner's taste.

Kid-friendliness: Good place.“

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

“This is a traditional Korean restaurant and it’s been there around a decade. They have various dishes from BBQ to pot strews. Their stir fry spicy squid is the best I ever tasted in Korean style.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. I recommend this place if you want to hangout with few friends or families.“

“The 파전 (Korean Scallion Pancake) was amazing, super crunchy on the outside, thick and satisfying on the inside, just the way it should be. Perfectly golden and packed with flavor. The 매운곰탕 (Spicy Beef Bone Soup) is hands down our favorite, rich, spicy, and deeply comforting. Service was kind and attentive. Definitely coming back!“

“Steamed dumplings & steamed kimchi dumplings are so good! They were perfectly steamed & moist inside. Quite light (Which means you can eat more hahaha) since the dumpling skins are thin and the stuffing has more veg and sweet potato starch noodle than meat. One personal disappointment was the dipping sauce is too sweet for me. Looking forward to try other menu items next time!“

“Overall, the food was tasty, the grilled chicken feet was a bit too spicy for some people. The portion was pretty satisfying. The only thing is that they included taxes in the total but didn't indicate that on the bill, so I calculated the tips based on the total, which means I gave extra tips…“

“My husband and I stopped here for lunch today before heading to a concert at Forest Hills Stadium. The food was SO good with great portion sizes. We enjoyed the atmosphere even coming in at lunchtime, and the staff were great. We will definitely come here again and recommend it to others.“

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

“Korean bbq at its best! Table cooking over charcoal grill. Service is great, one of my favorite places in the winter. There’s valley parking. The bbq cones w side dishes. Soup, steamed eggs, rice. Lettuce to wrap to make the Korean taco. It is sooo good.“

“Tasty old Korean Chinese style! Don’t trust google rate 100%. Many times, rates don’t represent their whole qualities. Personally I care taste first for restaurants. Some folks just focus the rates only instead of tastes. Try this store if you care taste first“

“I was visiting New York for the 4th of July holiday and went here for dinner. It was $30 per person which is more reasonable than most Korean buffets I've eaten at. The food was fantastic this was one of the best Korean barbecues I've been to. They had a huge variety. All the food was fresh and very tasty. The next time I visit New York I will definitely return here again!“

“The chicken is nothing short of incredible—crispy, golden perfection on the outside with meat so juicy and tender, it practically melts in your mouth. The secret is in the double-frying technique, which gives the chicken that irresistible crunch that doesn’t quit.

But the flavors are what really set this spot apart. The soy garlic wings are my personal favorite—sweet, savory, and utterly addictive. If you’re a fan of spice, the hot and spicy option packs a punch without overwhelming your taste buds.

Beyond the chicken, the menu offers a great selection of sides that perfectly complement the main event. The pickled radish adds a refreshing tangy crunch, while the sweet potato fries are the ideal balance of sweet and salty.“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“Very nice place. The wait for food is a bit long, but it is worth it. I got the pork cutlet which came with a soup. The pork cutlet was phenomenal, it was tender and juicy inside with a perfectly crispy shell. The pork itself wasn’t that flavorful but it came with a creamy sauce that tasted vaguely of bbq. The soup it came with was very light and not overwhelming with a taste of miso soup. Everything was warm and fresh when it arrived. Overall, the experience was very good. Would recommend! :)“

“Food was very good! Portions were bigger than expected. The dumplings had thin wrappers and a crispy crunch. I very much enjoyed them. The Bimbimbap was flavorful. The Burger Steaks were a bit sweet which was unexpected, but yummy. The cold pasta salad was very refreshing, slightly sweet and had a good balance of all the flavors and veggies. I'm not a fan of cold macaroni salad, but this one was so tasty. The fish cake had a nice soy sauce brine. I have never had a fish cake with that depth of flavor in it. The kimchi had a good crunch. All of the foods balanced each other out and I left with a satisfied palate.

The restaurant plays soft music and it felt very much relaxing. Service was very good. They were very kind and had great smiles. They were very sweet. Made me feel welcomed. I'd come back here and try more foods!“

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

“took a quick stop here with my friend after a college event. i got a mozzarella dog and it was absolutely delicious! although i got full pretty quickly, it definitely made me feel more better! the lady who works at the counter is absolutely sweet as well. i’m definitely coming back here again!“

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

“I love KAL I wish I had more pictures of their food! This food feels like medicine to my soul. I had some soup with tofu and mushrooms and can't forget the ssam! I love eating here with others. Their staff was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with all my questions haha. I will be returning.“

“By far the best food I had during my trip to NY. The waitress was very kind and accommodating. The atmosphere felt warm and exclusive with its ambient lighting and kpop soundtracks of mainly 3rd and 4th gen groups. Definitely a spot I can't forget and highly recommend with their variety of dishes and the quality and art its presented in. I wish for the best for this restaurant and I look forward to eating here again in my next trip to NY.“

“For lunch, the chicken teriyaki bowl was *chefs kiss*. The portion I was served was just the right size so I didn’t feel sluggish afterwards. Chicken was cooked to temperature, the sauce combined well with the carrots, cucumber and rice. Nothing bad to say about this place and love that it’s close to work.“

“Definitely one of the underrated restaurants in flushing. I love this restaurant, very small and old store but the food and service were amazing. Everything we ordered was tasty and the quantity was so much that we had to take it out in to-go box“

“Really small, casual place. Pretty cheap food relative to other korean spots. The owner clearly puts some effort into food presentation. Really nice staff.

The meat portions were a little small but otherwise is a great spot to grab a quick lunch or dinner. Just have normal expectations.“

“I recently dined at this fantastic Korean restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food is absolutely excellent, with rich flavors and authentic dishes that truly stand out. The portions are incredibly generous, ensuring you leave fully satisfied.

The staff are exceptionally pleasant and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Plus, the prices are very reasonable, offering great value for the quality and quantity of food you receive.

While the decor might be a bit outdated, don't let it discourage you. Besides, the delicious food more than makes up for it. An added bonus is the free parking, which is a rare find and makes the visit even more convenient.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy some top-notch Korean cuisine without breaking the bank.“

“Posting review while enjoying the food. This place is amazing. Freshly-made kimbap, generous portions for an amazing price, and excellent miso soup. Really had mom and pop shop feel with actual Koreans running it (not that that should matter per se). Everyone behind the counter was so sweet, too. We had the vegetarian and mushroom kimbaps (latter has fish cake) to meet the $10 minimum for paying by credit card, both were very satisfying.

For the price and quality and just the feel of supporting a local shop, I definitely want to come back often.“

“Brand new. When I walked in, they informed me they just opened the day prior. They even had trouble navigating some of the prices on the register, but overall, were very helpful and nice.They have an area just for side dishes, and some main dishes in the middle. When I came, they were still cooking, so the ideal time to go is around 12:30 - 1:00 to see what they have to offer.“

“TLDR: If you're looking for that local hole in the wall - this is a great spot. Stick with the soups and definitely get that spicy pork bulgogi aka jaeyuk bokkeum.

It's tiny and it's a husband/wife team, so if you're trying to be in/out; not the place for that. I've been back twice and I loved it both times.

The dakgaejang (spicy chicken soup) was one of my favorite things. The broth is very flavorful and there's a lot of spice in it. They have some more traditional soups like the black goat or loach. So if you're in a soup and rice mood, this will hit.

Definitely get the jaeyuk bokkeum. The way they slice the pork here and stir-fry it with the larger onion dice - it's very unique and just so good.

NYC needs more places like this. I will return again for sure and try some of the other items on the menu.“

“As a first time customer, I think this beer garden is a great place to come and hang with your friends if you plan on grabbing some drinks. I plan on recommending this place to other friends in the future.

The staff was also very accommodating.

Side note: When I tipped more than the tip suggestion I thought it was funny that one of the people came back out and told me I gave too much ? Take it! Well deserved ? **also one of the only reasons why I decided to leave a review!“

“Great service and the food was great 👍“

“Pros:
Banchan are all very tasty.
Tofu soups are all tasty.
Prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get

Cons:
No AC, at least one fly flying around
Japchae watery and not that flavorful
Seafood pancake soggy and unevenly cooked
The fried stuff in the bento box were slightly bitter“

“I’ve ordered the marinated crabs multiple times with no issues. Sometimes there is a lot of roe, sometimes there isn’t, it just depends on the season.

The flavoring is not too fishy, or salty. Perfect when eaten with rice!“

“I have been to a lot of Korean BBQ place, but this one is special for me for 2 reasons:

1- I’m with my Korean friends, who can teach me how to eat like Korean.

2- the special leaves is really for my liking.

Good sake bomb, friends and good laughs, with cold noodles and mustard to finish off the meal, a great experience!“

“I took my MIL to a korean bbq. It was 5 of us, 3 adults and 2 kids (12 & 8 yo). There was lots of food that we enjoyed, and it was a charcoal grill, not a gas grill. The kal-bi took some some time to be cooked, but so what? It was really amazing. Since I hate "sweet" food (hate bulgogi), this place was the perfect place for me. The kalbi sauce was just amazing. There were lots of side dishes, and the ladies were super nice.
No pictures - sorry... we were just busy enjoying the food..

Parking: The parking is right behind the restaurants and connected to the restaurants directly. It was drizzled but didn't have to deal with it!“

“The service was fast and fantastic, and the quality of food (both banchan/side dish and ordered items) were high quality and delicious. If you’re craving Korean food or meaty meal, I highly recommend coming here!! I will for sure be visiting again!“

“i don’t know what these low ratings are about. My friend and i stumbled in when we realized the hot pot place next door that we had originally intended on going to was all you can eat and we were about to go on a 5 hour drive so we most CeRtainly could not eat all that we wanted. In distress and disarray we wandered down the street in search of a quick and delicious meal. And man, oh, man - Gahwa fulfilled our wants, needs, and fantasies. All of our desires served to us in the form of white oxtail broth soup, incredible kimchi, and sizzling bibimbap. Long story short - this place slaps.“

“Delicious ginseng chicken stew over rice. Very fast service.The atmosphere was pretty good as it was tucked away in a corner of the food hall. While it was dimly lit in the area, the food was pretty good. The service was quite nice considering they were able to bring out hot, steaming food even near closing time in a really fast manner.For the price, it's surprising to be able to get real ginseng chicken stew for only $20 but it was worth the price. The tteokbokki was also pretty tasty. Usually, if not those options, I also recommend the tofu stew.Many great options to eat here. The only downside is how the whole food hall closes so early but it makes sense since there are probably less customers later in the day. 8/10“

“This was our fourth time here, The service is acceptable, the food is delicious and the place is pleasant at all times.
I don't give it 5 stars because sometimes it takes a long time, especially for the pasta we ordered "Jampchae".

The wings are fantastic, crispy, tasty and always come with a delicious accompaniment.
The japchae is very delicious, the pasta is just right and the meat is tender, but it works well to eat it together with the wings, they are a perfect complement. Alone it can be a bit harassing.

For drinks, we have tried some very tasty cocktails but if you do not wish to drink alcohol, the Shirley Temple is highly recommended. It is refreshing, sweet and goes well with any meal.

In any case, better to go at night to try the wings and cocktails!“

“Delicious foods with friendly dining service, a must-visit restaurant in our community.“

“Excellent service, food was delicious.“

“I’ve been patronizing this resistance their inception. And it has been solid and consistent. You won’t regret your visit here and your craving for sashimi will be satisfied.

There are other restaurants who can ‘outperform’ Dokdoya with the sashimi’s quality, selection and presentation. But their side dishes are one of the best in the tristate. And their complimentary soups are always superb.“

“many beers, great Korean food choices“

“I have come here many times after badminton in NYBC.
it's always great and delicious.
Love the roujiamo here，especially in fall and winter. Please come and try！

Kid-friendliness: A restroom inside.“

“Food is fire and the prices are very good. Only thing I have to say is I wish they can go back to the old recipe of the jalapeño mayo because it was so good. Chicken is always crispy and tender. All the sides are fire too u can’t go wrong with any of them.“
