Geo Si Gi in Murray Hill is a cozy Korean haven where bubbling gamjatang steals the show, complemented by crispy seafood pancakes and friendly service.
"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
"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
Bourdain had: Soju (Korean liquor), gam ja tang (pork neck bone soup), galbi (short ribs).
"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
