The 17 Best Korean Restaurants In NYC

"Geo Si Gi is a gamjatang specialist where you sit at a plain wooden table and eat from a bubbling vat with bones sticking out like icebergs in a kimchi-colored sea. The casual spot in Murray Hill, Queens serves a few different kinds of their signature pork bone soup, all of which come in huge shareable portions that start at less than $20 per person. Stuffed with rice cakes and kimchi, and accompanied by banchan, the soup is plenty of food on its own, but you can also get a combo with bulgogi, LA galbi, or seafood pancake." - bryan kim, kenny yang

Geo Si Gi Review - Murray Hill, Queens - New York - The Infatuation

"At Geo Si Gi in Murray Hill, Queens, there are three rules to adhere to: bring a friend, bring cash, and order the gamjatang. Gamjatang is the house specialty at this casual, cabin-like spot, and you’ll need at least one other person to help you consume a huge, bubbling order. Served over a portable gas burner, the soup is deeply porky and packed with kimchi, rice cakes, and meat-lined bones. You can get it for around $20 per person, or you can pay a little more for a combo meal with bulgogi, pig trotter, or LA galbi. The restaurant accepts credit cards, but be sure to bring cash to tip the server who constantly pops by to refill your bowl with scalding broth." - Bryan Kim

NYC’s Best Food of 2019, According to Eater Editors - Eater NY

"This restaurant has been a staple in Northern Boulevard in Flushing, the heart of the Korean community. Even though the restaurant specializes in gam-ja-tang, a Korean pork bone soup, I was in the mood for jokbal, or braised pork feet. It’s full of collagen, resulting in the most satisfying, chewy, gelatinous texture after being braised in soy sauce-based stock for hours. You can create what I consider one of the best bites in Korean cuisine with this. Make a lettuce wrap with a few slices of jokbal, raw garlic, and some ssamjang (chile paste), and be sure to have it in one bite. Then, you will find yourself craving soju. Because jokbal is full of collagen, many believe that it’s good for your skin, keeping people looking young — making this perhaps the tastiest Korean skincare around. — James Park, Social Media Manager" - Eater Staff

This place has become my go-to spot, especially on cold days. The soup was absolutely incredible—rich, flavorful. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even better.

Please get the gamjatang and bossam set! The soup is so warm and comforting, while the meat is fall off the bone tender. The bossam with makeunji kimchi (old kimchi - so it’s super sour) is my favorite dish! The bossam is perfectly cooked, where the meat is tender but has just enough of a chew, and it pairs perfectly with kimchi and scallion for the best bite! Every table gets an assortment of banchan (so tarte! so good!) and steamed eggs. My friend and I got the bossam set for two and it was enough food for a third person! I took left overs home and it was even better reheated. The auntie was super helpful and nice. She helped cut and serve the gamjatang. Perfect place to bring your family and friends, especially as NYC enters the colder months.

Food is amazing. I would say the atmosphere is not the best feature for this restaurant but the service is amazing. The 이모s (aunties) are very friendly. Great place to go if you are craving soupy and meaty food.

Highly recommend! I made my order through Uber Eats. We were 200% satisfied with what we received. Gamjatang was stored in a large bucket, perfectly sealed, and all side dishes & add ons were safely packed. We got the large size Uhgeogi Gamjatang, which had about 10 pieces of meat. It was enough for 4 people as we added fried rice. It tastes authentic as well! Will definitely order again

The dried cabbage spine soup and pig's trotters are very delicious, the same taste as I've had before, there are rice cakes in the soup, the takeaway packaging is very good, it won't leak soup and isolate bacteria, the portion is super large, two people need two meals, today's vegetable intake is enough. In addition, the boss and the sister in the store are very good, I recommend everyone to try it.

Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Price - 3 stars The food is above average. Stews were hearty and full of meats, pork belly slice was tasty but not too oily, seafood pancake was crispy (just slightly too many spring onions) and beef ribs were just right. However, do note that some dishes like the beef ribs were small portioned. Service staff were amazing, attentive and friendly. Topped up side dishes with a smile. Prices are average for casual Korean restaurants. However, servings could be bigger.

Hearty Korean meals. Great for winter. This restaurant specializes in Gamjatang. It’s a stew made with pork loin, bone broth and Korean spices. It’s red in appearance, but not too spicy. We ordered the Set Menu #10 for 2 people which comes with Uh Geo Ji Gamjatang + Mukeunji Bossam. We got Side Dish #18 Yet Nal Gamja Jeun. The food portions are huge, so come here hungry. Surprisingly, the Uh Geo Ji Gamjatang was my least favorite dish during my visit. It’s supposed to be served piping hot (temperature-wise), but I felt it was served a bit too lukewarm. The Mukeunji Bossam was heavy so I wasn’t able to eat too much of it. Nevertheless, I’d recommend it if you are a fan of pork. The Yet Nal Gamja Jeun was my favorite during my visit. I’m biased but I love potatoes. This pancake was crispy on the outside, and fluffly and starchy in the inside. It’s like an enhanced hash brown. Overall, I recommend giving this restaurant a try. It may be intimidating if you don’t speak Korean, but don’t worry - this restaurant is welcoming of everyone. They are more than happy to help you out.

Came in for Sunday dinner with my parents and were promptly seated. This place is known for their pork bone soup, which was perfect in the cold weather. The waitresses were super nice and helped us figure out what to order. We ended up getting Dried Cabbage Gamja Tang with Haemul Pajun (seafood pancake) as a combo for two people. First came the side dishes, which were pretty tasty. 5-10 minutes later, the main dishes came out with purple rice and a serving of steamed egg. They cut up and served the pancake and then scooped bowls of soup for each of us. Everything tasted delicious! This soup was a little spicy, I'd say somewhat mild, but it was too much for my Mom, who's more sensitive to spice. Dad and I enjoyed the mild heat! The soup came with the pork bones - could have been more tender, the meat didn't fall off the bone so you had work at it a little bit. Otherwise, everything was great! I'm also glad we ordered the soup for two people. We ended up with leftovers so the portions are pretty generous. Recommend checking out!

I hadn't been to this place for years when I went back last night. I went there thinking it would be the same as it used to be. It seems there has been a change in management. Had I known it would be so terrible, I would not have dined there. The gamjatang wasn't cooked long enough, so it was nearly impossible to break apart the bone pieces. It also didn't have enough vegetables in it, and it tasted pretty bland. Jokbal tasted like it was boiled within any herbs or spices. They don't even have thin metal chopsticks, but if you know how to eat gamjatang, you know you need thin metal chopsticks. The only positives were metal scoop for egg jjim and attentive waitress. I wish I had never gone back to this place. They need to change the name of the place since what they serve isn't geo si gi gamjatang. I'm giving it a one star since the average rating is waaaay too high.

Got the full gamgja experience here. Service was quick and efficient, with one lady being especially kind and willing to learn other languages to communicate with the non Korean patrons. Our Gamjatang and Gamjajeon for 2 ($53.95) was Pork Loin Casserole with Potato Pancake. I wasn't sure what each sauce was for, so it was nice a worker pointed it out to us. They also personally give you your first pancake and pour all of the stew for you. I never had to lay a finger on that casserole pot! It was my first time having Potato Pancake. It's probably my least favorite of the potato, kimchi, seafood pancakes, as it was a bit bland and more chewy that I would like, but the sauce surely helps. I can see the casserole warming anyone up on a cold chilly day. In addition to the pork, it came with a bunch of other veggies, so it was packed with flavor! It was also such a filling portion we had to take some home. The meal was pricey but for the portions, it makes sense. For the friendly comforting service, I'd recommend here for a gamjatang fix.

Warm, cozy, and large platters of korean comfort food. Perfect on a cold winter night. Ordered a giant pork bone stew for 3 plus 2 sides orders (pork kimchi stir fry, and potato pancake) and it was more than enough to feed a table of 5. Homey vibes with staff that serve and cater to you attentively. + points as they give us aprons to borrow to protect our clothes from splatter! Kind souls who know that while I wear light grey, light grey is not impervious to spicy korean stew soup stains. Not once did we feel rushed and the food was great! Will be back again!

Came here on a weekend with a few friends and ordered these dishes. The restaurant itself isn't that big but it has a nice homey vibe. It wasn't too crowded since we went for lunch but started to get busier around 4pm for the dinner rush. The staff was super kind and the food was really good. Generous portions as well so my friends and I had plenty of each dish to share. Definitely would come back here again if I'm in the area. There's also a bunch of dessert options nearby if you're looking for something sweet after. 10/10 recommend!

Geo Si Gi will forever be the go to spot for Gamja tang. Incredibly generous portions, delicious banchan, and the absolute best service! We ordered the dried vegetable gamja tang for 2 ($40.95) and gamja jeon (potato pancake) and we had plenty of leftovers. We decided on the dried vegetable version based on their recommendation, and I really liked the additional veggies. It's also only $2 more than the original! The gamja jeon was really crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside. Banchan is generous (with steamed egg too!) and super yummy. The service here is absolutely unmatched - the ladies who work here are the sweetest and make you feel like you're at home. My boyfriend and I aren't big eaters, and they were worried we didn't enjoy the food. They checked in on us frequently (but not in an overbearing way), and I really appreciated it! Ambiance is home-y & casual.

On our way into NY city, we wanted to get some Korean soup. OMG! Such a great decision to stop by. Each of us ordered a different soup and ate all of it! To the bottom of the bowl. What more to say.? Each soup had a great soup base. So tasty. I will definitely come back. I LOVED my soup! Can't say enough about how delicious it was. Hit the spot for sure.

This is a must go to place on a cold day. It warms up your whole body and your soul I forgot what I ordered but I know that it's the second thing in the menu. It adds pickled cabbage which adds its own depth of flavor as well The soup is spicy, porky, and endless. This portion was for 4 people and we couldn't even finish. The pork bones were so fun to eat through and the pieces of meat that were on there were so tender and full of porky goodness. There were potatoes as well swimming in the broth. I think the next time I come with 4 people, I'll order the 3 person portion because it really is a lot The seafood pancake I'll pass on. It was okay, nothing special Service was excellent as well!

Great food, great staff, definitely coming back here again! The gamjatang is so flavorful and the meat was so tender. The veggies in the soup were so good too. The potato jeon is a real interesting dish, it's like a hash brown meets a mochi. It's got a chewy texture. If it was a bit thinner in the middle, I'd definitely get it again. Still tastes great tho. The aunties were friendly and treat you like family. The whole meal was so warming and great for a cold winters day

Review of ubereats order. Probably the most consistantly good ganjatang in flushing. Love that they package the veggies & the main soup seperately so you can boil it right before you eat & control the cook time of your veggies. I personally always throw in some extra rice cakes/noodles so they can soak up the soup + some extra spice.

This place is such a great spot if you're craving some hearty Korean stew. It's definitely meant to be for groups or at least 2 people to share a pot together. My group got a pork stew with cabbage, mild spicy. If you normally eat spicy like kimchi, the spice level is quite tolerable but if you don't regularly eat spice, the spiciness might be a bit much but still enjoyable. There was lots of meat and vegetables in the stew. We loveddd the rice cakes in it as well. It was perfectly cooked. We also got complimentary steamed egg which was delicious. Definitely would return with a larger group next time.

Exactly what I wanted on a cold and chilly evening. We came in on a Friday night and surprisingly didn't have to wait. We got number 2 for the pork bone soup and a seafood pancake. Portions were massive and we had to take some to go. It was delicious but still couldn't finish the portions. Parking isn't amazing - heard there was parking in the back but we found parking down the block. I would definitely come back cause the portions are amazing and quality is good.

Visited on weekday afternoon. Did not need to reserve. There is a small parking lot right behind this restaurant. On the left side of the main entrance, there is a small car entrance to the parking lot. Max occupancy is 4-5 cars. As long as you are using the restaurant, I think you can use that parking lot. Ordered uh geo gi gamja tang. It tastes as authentic as it can be. It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth the money. Not too spicy, very flavorful, does not taste like msg soup. It's made of pork loin, potato, lots of vegetables, including bean sprout, watercress, cabbage, mushrooms. It comes with side dishes. They are pretty tasty. Im not sure if refill is free, but you can certainly ask for them. You can get a fried rice at the end. They pan fry with rice and some other ingredients using the left over broth. They sometimes do it in front of you and sometimes in the kitchen. This is the best part. Give it a try! Overall, i really recommend it to everyone.

It was really cold and windy last night, so I was in the mood for something warm. I read the reviews about this place, and thought gamjatang was for sure going to hit the spot. But... it was kind of a miss.. I went with three other people, and we ordered Uh Geo Gi Gamja Tang (#2), Yet Nal Gamja Jeun (#18), Jok Bal (#20), and Mukenji & Godeung-uh Jjim (#24). We also got a complimentary steamed egg. We definitely over-ordered because the portions were very generous. We got #2 for 3 people, but still had some left. Uh Geo Gi Gamja Tang (#2): This was a 4/10 for me. The meat was very tender, which I love. BUT the soup/broth... lacked flavor. I've had gamjatang in other restaurants and I've always loved the dish because of how heartwarming and flavorful it was. So, this was really disappointing because it was more bland and honestly quite unremarkable. There wasn't any spice to it either. I did add salt to it, which made it slightly better, but not really. Yet Nal Gamja Jeun (#18): This was a 9/10! I've had potato pancakes before, but I think this place does it best! It was crispy on the outside, and very chewy and soft on the inside. It was just really fun to eat. I do think it paired well with the sauce they gave us, but personally, I'd like it to be more on the saltier side. Jok Bal (#20): This was a 8/10. The meat had a really nice bite to it, and I love the contrasting texture of the meat and the skin. The sauce they gave was really good, too. It was quite enjoyable, especially when you eat it after a more savory dish like #24. Godeung-uh Jjim (#24): This is a 9/10. I love strong flavors, so this was my favourite dish. It was sour and savory, and really added a more complex layer to the overall dinner. I love how soft the cabbage was, and the mackerel was also cooked well. I can honestly just pair rice with the sauce because of how good it was. But I don't think this dish is for everyone, especially if you're not that big of a fan of mackerel. We also got the fried rice after we were done with gamjatang. They made it in the same pot as the gamjatang. I think it was good and crispy. I don't know if it's worth paying an extra $4.95 though. Overall, the dinner was okay. I love how nice the servers are, and they refill our side dishes whenever they're empty, which I appreciate. It's just sad because I really wanted to like the gamjatang here since it's the main thing they sell.

Nice place for a casual dinner with friends - good service and decent food. The restaurant can get a little loud but it feels very cozy and homey. We ordered the donkatsu and beef soondubu. I love soondubu and theirs felt a little watery but it might be because I'm a fan of stews with a concentrated broth and heavy flavoring. I would try other soups next time like their gamja tang instead. The donkatsu was much bigger than I imagined and was pretty good for its price. A little dry but they do refills for the sauce so it wasn't too bad. They also gave us a couple side dishes including the steamed egg which was probably my favorite part of the meal. Definitely will come back again for other dishes if not just for their egg!

Service: Good Quantity: Great Cleanliness: Great Food: Muk Eun Gi Gamja Tang (serving for 2): Pickled nappa Cabbage with vegetables and pork loin Casserole $40.95 What you get is the usual 5 cold dish( Kimchi, Bean sprout, Fish cake, Broccoli , turnip) and a complimentary steam egg. You have this huge casserole that is being cooked and served to you by the friendly staffs. Words cant describe really how big it is because i eat a lot and can handle a lot of food, but this thing was so much that i had to take the remainder home and enjoy some more when i got hungry. This is the 1st time back since the pandemic. i got to say the food was great the pickled cabbage has the right amount acidity(Sourness). As for the Pork loin WOW it just came soft right off the bone. it was so soft and tender. If your a Acidic (Sourness) lover like i am i would say this is a must try cause it hit just the spot as i wanted something sour with some spice to it. I would definitely come back again.

Ate here today for lunch with my mom and sister to try this place out for the first time. We had only ordered the dried cabbage with vegetables and pork loin casserole. The dried cabbage with vegetables and pork loin casserole tasted super good and not spicy at all! As an overall, we were extremely satisfied with our meal! The service was also really good and super quick as well! Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

I would give their food five star, but the service could be a lot better. The entire dining experience was very uncomfortable. At the end I felt I was treated like a child rather than a customer. As a non-Korean speaker, I think the communication could be a lot clearer and more friendly. My husband and I l ran into our friends. We were standing by their table and catching up. One of the waitress came up to us said "You should sit (point friend's table) or sit (point our table)". I apologized and thought we were blocking the way. So we moved to the side. A few minutes later, she came to us again said "please you need to sit or sit because..." and pointed to her mask. Then we understood that they want us to have masks on. Everyone's vaccine card and ID card were checked at the door, but we totally understood. I just wish the communication was clearer to avoid the awkwardness. We sat down and my husband's napkin fell on the floor. One of the waitresses was kind to pick it up for him but she put it right back on the table. We didn't say anything but put that aside. With or without Covid, we wouldn't use a napkin that just fell on the floor. We ordered the fried rice that many reviews recommended. I wish the waitress could explained better to us that the fried rice was cooked on the same stove as the broth. We did not know that. Rather than telling us directly, the waitress kept asking if we want to take the broth to go or if we want the fried rice later. We were so confused. Until she pointed to the stove saying it's too hot, we understood why she asked that. Then I felt so embarrassed knowing broth and fried rice can't be cooked on the stove at the same time. The last straw was when the waitress told us that we should put the bones in the stainless steel bucket rather than on one of the empty side dish. My husband and I felt really embarrassed to be told where we should put the bones and felt like we were not being considerate for putting bones in different places. We are not Korean and we don't know about this, but I do believe the same meaning can be conveyed in a more polite manner. I like the food and one of the waitresses was friendly but the other waitress was very focused on telling us what to do, and she didn't remember to bring the soda we ordered. Their service to Korean speaking customers seem very welcoming. We never felt this way dining in any other Korean owned businesses in the area. This is the first time ever feeling like I was stupid dining in a restaurant. I do not think I will come back.

Its been a while since Ive updated the review but the food here is STILL STELLAR. We've been a couple times and also ordered takeout and it never disappoints. They no longer have the set menu and the prices have gone up bc of covid but it's worth it! We always get the Geo Si Gi Gamja Tang. Love the fresh watercress and vegetables that come with the pork stew. We usually get the Jok bol as well and recently started getting the Bossam which is AMAZING. The side dishes are delicious as well. The portions are pretty generous here, even for takeout but the leftovers reheat very well so no complaints there. Overall a great spot to try on a cold winter night!

Best place for spicy potatoes and pork neck soup (gamja tang) , Korean Army stew (budae jjigae), and braised pig trotters (jokbahl) with a few bottles of soju to wash it all down. Space is clean and open with large tables and a wait staff that soaks English too if Korean isn't your first or second language. The bevy is fairly extensive and some just think that the prices are nuts but rest assured they amount of food you get warrants the pricing. Ordered some trotters to take out and they packaged it beautifully and gave an abundant supply of dipping sauce, fresh garlic and jalapeño slices as well. Cannot wait to go back there to eat in again very soon again too eat and support local y'all!

Gamjatang here is great, like everyone else said. Very legit, same as the ones I had in South Korea with good portions. It has a nice kick and is the perfect hangover remedy. It also pairs so well with some rice and soju. The meat to bone ratio is like 1:1 so not the most IDEAL if you think you can pick up a piece of the pork bone and gnaw off a chunk of meat but it still satisfied my gamjatang craving (if that's even a thing). This is one of those legit Korean joints and you can tell cuz they have a self-service water station just like restaurants in S Korea lol

It's been so long since I've had a decent Gam Ja Tang. I thought I would never find any good ones out in New York and would have to go to LA to find any decent options. Fortunately this makes a bomb ass version of it. The flavors are pretty much on point and while it's not as good as the LA one, it still really good and they provide all the amazing condiments that come with it, including the wasabi soy sauce to dip it in. At the end of the meal, you can add fried rice to the leftover liquid in the food and make a nicely flavored fried rice with it to wrap out the meal. The banchan was also pretty well made here. You get the option of red or white rice and I'd recommend the red one if they still have some left. Overall a great option though you have to go quite a bit a ways if you're in Manhattan to get it.

Great spot for gamja-tang (pork back bone stew) with good banchan and service. They give very generous amounts of tender meat and vegetables (bean sprouts and crown daisy leaves), as well as potato and rice cakes. I read reviews that the fried rice here (made with the leftover gamja-tang broth) is a must, but we were sooo stuffed and didn't get to try it at the restaurant. Huge portions - we ordered the portion for two and had enough leftovers to make an entire second batch of stew and the fried rice at home. As for Covid safety, the restaurant is good about checking proof of vaccination and matching ID, and the tables aren't too close apart.

I'm glad I pick thid place because all we ordered was yummy! Its actually a little different from any korean restaurant I've been to before. The food is seriously delicious and lots of food choices in their menu. They have combo choices of food for groups. We start of with seafood pancake which we enjoyed. Its soft and lots of seafood. For main dish we had the gamja tang+ mukeunji bossam for 4 people and its a lot of food for us. Its a huge pot of pork meatbone soup and it comes with a plate of slices of pork with oyster on the side. Its actually my first time eating this type of korean food and for sure not my last because I'm surely going back. I enjoyed everything from the soup to the side dish and that soft pork that you eat with raw oyster and some kimchi. I love this place. The place is clean, the food is yummy and the servers are nice. I'm coming back soon!

The food is decent, but nothing stands out except their selection of gamja tang. The service is friendly and helpful as well as speaks Chinese and Korean for ordering. Plus, they have a tiny parking lot in the back if you don't mind driving through a tight alley with a four spots. Given there are so many Korean restaurants on Northern Blvd, I'd probably try somewhere else with a larger lot and a signature dish instead of coming back. Nonetheless, if you're in the area and have no other options, the homey feel of this restaurant will gladly welcome you to dine in.

Super yummy!!! They take down your vaccination lot number when you want to dine in. They don't have option to dine out . The prices are reasonable!! They give a lot of food, esp their soup! I ordered #35 (~$17) I was only expecting one big meat bone but there's TWO huge hefty meat within the soup. It so sooo delicious!!! Lol I couldn't finish it . They also offer white or purple with multi grain rice! I got the latter obviously !! I also got the pig feet!! Is a great dish to eat with soju! I will return for more!!

On a cold day, this is definitely a place to go for. They specialize in pork backbone soup. If you dine in, it will come in a hotpot. If takeout, it comes in a large container with vegetables(raw) on the side. Then you will have to put everything together in your own pot and cook it. During a cold rainy day, we saw many people order takeout and not many dine in. Let's dig into the food. First of all, when they claim that a two people combo serves two people. Don't believe it! It can serve at least 3 people. We got the two people combo #3($63.95) which included the basic Gamja Tang(pork backbone soup) and the Maewun Jokbal(pork trotter in a sweet and spicy sauce). They can upgrade the Tang with extra cost. The soup tasted a bit milky probably due to the hours of boiling the backbones. Lots of tender meat on the backbones. If you like pork, you have to try the Maewun Jokbal. The spices mixed with the sweetness went perfectly with the meat and fat around the meat. Definitely need to get that. The service was lacking maybe because of the pandemic. The food was great.

Great food especially on a cold day. We came here on a Friday night and surprisingly didn't have to wait. We got number 2 for the pork bone soup and a seafood pancake. Portions are generous and definitely more than enough for 2 people! I would suggest coming with at least a group of 4 to try all their specialties! There's also small parking lot on the left side of the restaurant down a narrow driveway.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 8 Decor: 6 Value: 10 Overall: 9 Been around for a long time, yet still one of the only Korean restaurants specializing in Gamja Tang, a pork loin and vegetable spicy casserole. On a cold day, there are very few restaurants that I would prefer over Geo Si Gi. If it's your first time, order a #1, #2 or #3. Only difference is fresh vs. dried vs. pickled vegetables. The portions here are very large and you certainly get your money's worth. Just order one size smaller than you think you can eat and no food will go to waste. However, do add a noodle (ramen, udon, etc.) and ask for fried rice when you are done with the casserole. They will cook it in the same pot, which will pick up all the flavors still left on the bottom. If you need more food, order the Jok Bal, which is steamed pork leg. Order the smaller portion, it's plenty for four. This huge plate of super tender pork with skin and all that gelatinous goodness is always a hit. Dip it in the mildly spicy soy based sauce and let the party begin in your mouth. More food? Just order a Seafood Pancake like everyone else. Service is always friendly and they have parking through a driveway on the left side of the restaurant. That's a winner combination. Not sure I ever want this place to be featured in some food show that will leave me having to make reservations, but I certainly hope it has enough business to stay open for as long as I got teeth.

Staff is so friendly! We shared 1 pot and it fed 4 people and we still had leftovers. Food was delicious. I did not like the seafood pancake as much since it was really thick.

This was an amazing find in the Flushing/Murray hill neighborhood of Queens! I have never tried Korean gam ja tang before and discovered this restaurant on Yelp based on the great reviews. They have an expansive menu covering a large variety of options including the Ganga-tang (casseroles/stews), soft tofu stews as well as stir fry's and many other classic Korean dishes. They started us off with appetizers including broccoli, kimchi, seaweed and steamed egg (my personal favorite!). This restaurant serves some of the best starters imho. We ordered the gam ja tang with seafood, veggies, small octopus and pork loin casserole for 2 and it was superb! The pork loin was fall off the bone tender, juicy and very flavorful - it was everything I never knew I needed in a pork loin. Be prepared to eat with your hands as it can get messy. They provided an abundant amount of seafood including shrimp and octopus and The other ingredients were also incredibly tasty. Of course we were complete newbies when it comes to gam ja tang and attempted to eat when they first brought out the food, not knowing it needs more time to cook lol but our waitress promptly came to put us back on the right track and informed us she would cook our food and let us know when it was ready - kudos to the Asian boss lady and the amazing service at this establishment :) I recommend coming here with a large group so you can try multiple items, or one of their set menus. I am already looking forward to our next visit!

The food is ridiculously expensive, unfriendly, the amount of food is too small and I won't go again.

When I was walking by, I saw a banner which noted that Anthony Bourdain dined here in Parts Unknown. To Anthony who inspired future travelers and encouraged people to explore different culture, thank you. You have done a lot just simply dinning in the neighborhoods that I grew up in. At Geo Si Gi, I ordered the Naemul Nakgi Gamja Tang (seafood, small octopus w/ vegetable and pork loin casserole for 2 people. The food was absolutely plentiful. The pork loins were huge that it took some time to get to the nook and cranny. The octopus was cooked in the pot. All of the seafood is fresh. The food is perfect for a cold winter day. Remember to drink the soup. I always order a bowl of rice and mix in all the goodness that comes with the dish. The simple enjoyment of turning the leftover of the meal and creatively making it to another dish as you do not want to waste any of it.

We've been coming here for a while and their gamjatang always hits the spot. This is a new dish for me - not so much for my husband - and I'm glad I'm able to have it when I want it! We also ordered their haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) and it was perfect. I also super love their side dishes and their gyeran jjim (steamed egg) - I wish I could make it at home like them!!

Bonnie G. and I had a hankering for Flushing Korean BBQ and we chose a new locale for us Geo Si Gi....Rather small in size compared to the larger venues, it was comfortable and open very late...like 2 am. We went late and arrived circa 10pm and were seated immediately by the friendly staff. We ordered Soju to get in the mood and then went to the menu...No appys necessary as the Bon Chon was forthcoming and plentiful with refills as needed. For mains we got Galbi and Pork Leg in spicy sauce....Galbi was tender and delish and Pork Leg looked great and tasted better. We wrapped the meats in provided lettuce and added condiments to taste. Our server spoke perfect English and was a pleasure to deal with...so friendly and accomodating. For a late night meal I can recommend this location...you cant go wrong!

was looking for some good korean food to eat with my fam and glad we found this place. the gamjatang was delicious and it has lots of meat. super flavorful. but the real surprise guest (that pushed this review to 5 stars) was the bossam. Literally was the most tender pieces of bossam meat i've ever had. a bit expensive but highly recommend! (i just hope that quality is that high every time someone gets it) family of 4 got 1 gamjatang and 1 bossam and were pretty satisfied. total came out to about 80ish but yes, def check this place out for some good gamjatang and bossam

So good! I came here on a Saturday night at about 6:30pm and we were the 3rd table there. The food was delicious, we got the Gamja Tang with vegetables for 3, mackerel and bulgogi, and there was so much food. We actually had to take almost 1/2 of it home because there was so much. The pork bone was delicious and everything was just absolutely amazing. I recommend everyone try this place when they have the chance!!
