Everything was delicious, but the brisket was dry because there was no fat.The ribs were delicious.

Food was good but the servers kept forgetting things we ordered. They also kept checking the time so we felt kind of rushed and it ruined the vibe.

We celebrated our son’s 1st birthday at Padam Padam. It was the PERFECT arrangement for our semi-traditional Korean “dol” (1st birthday) celebration. We reserved the private party area that comfortably sat about 40 guests and we were also granted additional space for the “dol sang” (birthday table) set up. Quality of food - top notch. We had several vegetarians, and they had plenty of option that met their dietary preferences. The meat, the side dishes, were all absolutely delicious. Our guests spoke highly of the service - the servers were constantly checking every single table, making sure everyone’s orders were taken quickly. Food was being served continuously! The restaurant owner also made sure to check in with our party to make sure things were going smoothly and successfully. It was truly the best choice we made to celebrate our son’s birthday there. Highly recommend and will keep going back!

I was on my way to picnic garden literally next door but decided to give this new spot a try.1. menu is super limited, really can't compare with picnic garden next door, if i knew what the menu was like before I was seated, I would've left.2. food is below average. you have to order everything. for certain meats they give you huge portions, for example, their flat iron steak and beef brisket were forgettable and they give you lots of them. Never order pork belly, they will give you a huge portion and almost pure fat.3. service is really subpar, because every table has to order for everything, they really don't have enough waiters and waitress. Plus, everyone in there seem overworked and really pissed about working there.To top it off, minimum suggested tip is 20%. I don't regret trying it out, at least I know to avoid this place next time with my friends.

I typically love padam padam! The service and staff is amazing! The quality is usually spot on! And they recently added chicken feet to the menu which are seriously so delicious! However I recently went and got the worst food poisoning in my life. We ordered the rib eye and my son and husband said that it tasted off, slightly sour. I unfortunately had already eaten half the order and didn't taste it bc I drench everything in hot sauce! A couple hours later I was throwing up and sick for four days. My son and husband didn't touch the meat aside from a little nibble, so they were spared the nightmare. I would be willing to try it again though bc it is one of my favorite spots! The thinly sliced pork belly ( or as I call it's pork chops ) are amazing!

Id say it was a bit over priced. Meat options weren't that many. Food quality was not bad but not amazing. Service was great .

Really good KBBQ place. Meat cuts are high quality and very delicious. Marinated Beef Rib is my favorite item (only on the dinner menu). I would be wary about the intestines at this location. I have had it one time and it was fine but another time the intestines just kind of fell apart on the grill and would rip and tear. Soybean paste stew and egg custard are very delicious, highly recommended. Servers are very attentive and fast in getting you the items that you order. They keep you filled up on water and change out the grill often so you aren't eating burned remnants.

First time I dined here was great. The meat was fresh, servers were attentive and helped grill. I was excited to bring new people and return again.Tonight my party was seated and as soon as the meat came, the servers did not assist. Assuming they were busy, we started to grill a few pieces ourselves. Once a server was free, I asked for help cooking and they replied they are self service because of receiving one star reviews, and if they helped our table they had to help everyone. We preferred to have others cook for us so we left to another establishment.Not the server’s fault - but it’s a lame excuse to tell your staff not to grill the food because of one star reviews. Would be better to emphasize the self service prior to seating.

The waiters are friendly. Meat qualities are better than most AYCE BBQ, it's on pricier side but still cheaper than regular BBQ considering the meat qualities. Quality is very important to me.
Service was super attentive, they change grills very regularly, so that you don't walk out smelling entirely of BBQ smoke. The meats were fantastic quality, and our favorite was the short rib. The restaurant was pretty busy while we were there, and the server came to remind us of the 2 hour seating limit, but he let us hang out and finish our beer. Would definitely recommend.

This is my favorite Korean barbecue restaurant in Flushing I haven't been to Flushing for about 35 years I used to go to Flushing High School and then we found this wonderful restaurant the staff is amazing David the waiter from Queen's is just fantastic he remembered my brother David had an allergy and he remembered that 2 months later they even take the time to explain how to use the Chopsticks they go do every meal and tell you what it is they wear headsets and whatever you request is magically brought to the table within seconds. the stakes the chicken the food is fresh the service is excellent the restaurant is completely clean no smoke like many of the other Korean restaurants we've gone there many times late and they always welcome you in like it's 4:00 in the afternoon I definitely recommend the pork belly marinated chicken but all the side dishes are Amazing! and don't forget the tea outstanding restaurant you must try it take your family they are wonderful thank you guys see you soon me my twin an I brother!

This was my first time trying a new Korean bbq spot in a while and it exceeded my expectations. The weekend dinner menu calls for $49 per person but it is worth every penny! They offer more options than their competitors and definitely a different ambiance without a ridiculous first come first serve line. The side order options were delicious and hot, fresh out of the kitchen. They use headsets so the food comes almost immediately after you order it. I enjoyed the thinly sliced brisket and marinated chicken. You cook the meat yourself which takes a little bit of getting used to but it's a cute date night experience. I have a thing for bathrooms in restaurants and the bathroom was a 10/10 in cleanliness!! This place is rather large and doesn't have all that loud music like their competitors and my favorite part is that you don't leave there smelling like smoke! Food is superb and I loved their dessert icecream option.
