Guk Su Jip

Great spot for homey Korean food! A self service restaurant with complimentary kimchi/radish and ginger/barley hot tea located in the outskirts of Flushing. The food was delicious and the portion was huge! We were happy with the meal and definitely would like to come back!

This restaurant has amazing authentic Korean food. We got the Signature Cold Noodle Soup, two Beef Hot Stone Rice, Marinated Beef, the Sweet Sour Pork, and the two Beef and Shrimp Dumplings. They also had three appetizers for free, tofu was amazing. They were all delicious. In addition, this place is self-service and there is no tipping. I recommend more people come check it out.

Ran in for a quick bite, was welcomed with warmth and the environment was casual and chill. Perfect for any diners that need a quick in n out without the formalities of a sit down restaurant. The spicy beef noodle soup is amazing ; the noodles are the highlight of the dish. I haven’t tasted this type of texture in Korean noodles before. The self serve aspects of the restaurant make it fun and interactive. This is a really great choice for those trying to get into Korean cuisine.

definitely a smaller hole in the wall place. side dishes and drinks were all self serve and they have a ‘no tip’ rule. nice home-style cooking but it’s definitely a little bland (i personally like that it was bland). seasonings are available on the side. their warms drinks were delicious!

Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. We especially loved the warm corn noodles and signature cold noodles - all served in generous portions. Our three year old loved the house-made tofu and enjoyed the self-serve kimchi and pickle station too.

The hostess will seat you but, you have to go back to the counter to order and pay ahead of time. I didn’t know this and ended up waiting at the table for awhile. After ordering, we were moved to the main dining area with posters on the wall asking for a review for a free can of soda, and another poster saying no tips. The side dishes and water/tea is all self serve and if you wanted to buy drinks, there was a standing fridge by the cashier. The side dishes were just basic, the soft tofu (if you can find it) was good. Food took awhile to come out which was made to order - But the food is very bland. If you’re getting the noodles, make use of the mustard and vinegar. If you’re coming from the city, it’s not worth the travel.

This place is great, there’s self service area with water, tea, appetizers like peanuts kimchi and more and there are signs up that state you don’t have to tip as it is self service. I got the tofu hot stone bowl and it’s very yum. Food came out quickly!

I had the nonspicy cold noodles (C2) and I thought it was very good. Portion was decent. The noodles had the perfect chewy texture and the broth was seasoned well enough that I didn’t need additional vinegar. I also ordered the short ribs but I thought that it was ok. Taste was very good but portion was very small. Everything is self served in this establishment and they don’t require tip. But even then they were very accommodating just in case we were confused at how their restaurant works. Will go back again to try more noodle dishes.

My friends and I were in the area looking for food, so we decided to give this restaurant a try. The woman manning the front was very friendly and could speak Mandarin and Korean! We placed our order at the counter and paid upfront. The banchan bar and beverage station were self-serve. The banchan options were kimchi, peanuts, and pickled radish in beet juice, so not a lot of variety but still appreciated. Beverages included hot barley tea. We also received complimentary tofu with hot chili sauce. I didn't like the savoriness of the cold tofu, but the thought was appreciated. The menu had a few items that spoke to me, including some set items. I decided to be adventurous and ordered something I've never had: The set of ground soybean stew and mung bean pancake. I usually love Korean kimchi/vegetable/seafood pancakes, but I wasn't a big fan of the mung bean pancake. It tasted very healthy, which is great if that's what you're going for, and not crispy enough. The ground soybean stew surprised me. It was very flavorful but I was thrown off by the thick and coarse grounded soybean texture. It took a few bites for me to get used to it, but it made me feel full. I appreciated the side of steamed white rice, which went perfectly with the stew.

Came here with my dad for lunch - the self-service bar had yummy sides, drinks and addicting peanuts. The self-serve is nice because it takes away the necessity of tipping. The noodles were good as well! The broth was refreshing especially because I was feeling under the weather. The noodles are house made and fresh! The ambiance is chill - it's clean, calm, and has cute additions such as crocheted flowers at every table.

Self serve with tea or water (hot or cold), utensils, banchan (peanuts, konjac? jelly and kimchi (was on the salty side)), condiments, and even takeout containers. Since it's self serve, you can just leave your finished bowls on the table, no tips necessary! There are quite a few tables and counter seating. You order at the register and the staff usually brings out your food to you. The Spicy Cold Buckwheat Noodles were not too spicy, with good flavor. It was a decent size for the price, and I was full when I finished the bowl. Make sure to really mix it up and get that delicious marinade on everything! It comes with a refreshing vinegary soup on side. You can pour it into the noodles. Enjoyable place for cold noodles. No thrills spot worth checking out.

I think only the Signature Cold Noodle Soup stood out. The place was self service, so no tipping and you pay upfront. You grab your own utensils and kimchi. They even have peanuts and acorn jelly. Only the salted peanuts were good. The menu was pretty limited, which made it easy to choose. I had the Corn Noodle Soup ($16.95) to myself. I was really anticipating a hint of a corn taste to the noodles, but I tasted none. The noodles were just yellow. As a result, this was nothing special, although the bowl was huge and had me full. Their Marinated Grilled Beef Short Rib ($22.95) was well seasoned, like skewered beef, but definitely not worth it. I had better Beef Dumpling ($14.95), these were just plain. Maybe I would come back on a sweltering hot day to enjoy their cold noodles, but the rest of the menu was just ok.

I found this place on TikTok video about refreshing summer bites. It was definitely refreshing indeed. Location is a little out of the way from flushing. It's a self service restaurant where you order and pay in the front (no tips signs all over the restaurant). The side dishes and water/tea are also self service. There's 2 different banchans: kimchi and acorn jelly? There's also roasted peanuts. I really like the self service type of atmosphere. We both ordered the C1 signature cold noodles and it was definitely refreshing. There were still chunks of ice in the soup. The watermelon was a great touch and actually really sweet. I like the chicken balls and the quail eggs. It wasn't bad and my friend enjoyed it. I think personally, I'm just not a fan of cold noodles in general. It's definitely one of the better cold noodles I've had though. Overall: great self service restaurant to grab refreshing cold noodles on a hot summer day

Quick fast and like others have stated, self serve place. Ordered their cold noodles and it did not disappoint! (Especially on a hot summer day) Flavor was a little more mild than a lot of places but they are legit. The tofu appetizer ! I wish they sold that but with brown sugar ginger sauce instead like the Chinese tofu dessert. No tip necessary as a few signs state.

Bookmarked this spot after browsing a food delivery app when I was craving naegmyun/Korean cold noodles one day (it was closed during the time, unfortunately). Got to try it in person and really enjoyed the casual atmosphere. As others mentioned, you order up front, and then everything else is self-service (they have signs noting so and mention that there is no tipping needed. The free self-service station is towards the back with hot tea, a water machine, side dishes/banchan (kimchi, peanuts, and acorn jelly). The section is also where you'll find utensils and add-on condiments. The staff interaction is pretty minimal (which I enjoy very much as an introvert), but they're very polite and welcoming. We ordered their signature cold noodles (comes with small packaged yakgwa dessert) and their bibim guksu/spicy mixed noodles and had a fair amount of their side dishes. We were highly satisfied! They included a small plate of their handmade tofu as well, which was a treat. I believe their noodles are also made in-house, which is always neat to hear. The portions were big and the flavors were refreshing and deep, but not overpowering (I've had noodles that were sometimes too vinegar-y, sweet, etc).

Amazing food! We ordered the spicy cold noodles and the fish row hot stone rice. The buckwheat noodles came with so many vegetables and eggs! The flavor was amazing and perfectly balanced. The fish roe was very savory and came with aged kimchi. The service was excellent! It was self service area so no tip needed! The staff still brought out the food to our table and helped us with the menu. The place is very casual yet welcoming. Highly recommend!

Tasty noodles and especially refreshing on a hot summers day when you're craving any type of cold noodle. Love that they have self-serve banchan which include kimchi, roasted peanuts, and konjac. I think I got full off the banchan only lol. The noodles are made in house and come out quickly. I like that the cold noodle dishes come out with a nice slice of ripe and juicy watermelon. Their appetizers/side dishes are okay; my group and I were not a fan of the sweet and sour pork. It was too breaded for our liking and did not have a good balance of the sweet and sour flavors.

Ate here today for the first time with my mom and cousin to try this place out. We all had gotten first the curd tofu, then different types of cold noodles to eat individually and finally tangsuyuk to share together that it tasted super good and delicious. The service was also really good and attentive that it's definitely self-service. We couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

Cute little spot that's pay first and self service kimchi / banchan. I think for the decent prices (no tips needed) the food was delicious and I would definitely come back. Star was the signature naengmyun. The watermelon might seem odd but worked surprisingly well with the broth. Would come back for this and try their other dishes as well.

Finally, a no frills Korean noodle shop with a clean and simple menu. A tiny eatery nestled between giant flashy restaurants that needs no obnoxious neon signage or icicle lights to make up for its culinary shortcomings like its neighbors. I love the menu. Simple ingredients, expert execution, and reasonably priced. We ordered the bibimbap and spicy cold noodles. I would've liked the noodles to be spicier but it's like spicy/sweet. Bibimbap comes out in a hot stone bowl so the rice stays crispy. Their kimchi is self serve and it's young kimchi! Snappy with a tiny bit of bitter, made in house. Kimchi was probably my favorite thing to eat there. The best part is they do not accept gratuity! This probably means they're all earning a decent livable wage and I fully support this.

The spicy cold noodles are ok but the true star is their fresh in house tofu appetizer with this spicy savory pepper soy sauce. Forget the cold noodles, just give me a big bowl of that tofu with that well-seasoned sauce. The other free appetizers (kimchi, peanuts, konjac) didn't really stand out. The seasoning for the cold noodles was ok- just tasted of pepper and lacked depth. The noodle texture was excellent- great bite and a smooth flavor. I liked the self service station- it reduced the need to call over the waiter for stuff like water, tissue, banchan, takeout containers, utensils, etc. Everything was already there-super convenient without a middle man

A staple cold noodle spot for NYC summers. Friend and I shared the signature cold noodle and pork jowl bbq. DELISH. noodles were fresh and paired well with the pork. Hit the spot on a blazing hot day. Love the nutty flavor too in the cold noodles. There's also a self serve banchan station in the back. The owners were sweet and welcoming. Plenty of seating as well for groups. 10/10 would come back again.

Food was plentiful and filling. Unlimited kimchi and tea which you can get from the back (self service). No tip required either. The woman working there had interesting attire as well which ties into the nice experience. Would definitely recommend!

Marinated pork jowl is good too! The spice that comes with it doesn't pack a lot of heat and should be tolerable for most, but makes all the difference elevating the flavor of the meat. Perfect crisp and fat to meat ratio. Beef noodle soup was way better than I anticipated. The broth looked so simple, but had so much depth.

Unassuming Korean cold noodle spot that was unexpectedly really good! I personally don't like the dark noodles in my Korean cold noodles but these freshly made noodles hit different. Flavorful broth and the bibim cold noodles were yum as well. Definitely recommend getting the beef (galbi) dumplings and sweet sour pork. Really delicious. Nice casual place to grab a meal since its self service and no tipping. Wish more places did this! Will be back again for sure.

What a great addition to the neighborhood! Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained the menu to us. The restaurant offers cold noodles, stone rice, steamed dumplings, and special meat dishes (similar to the ones you could find at Korean BBQ places). The restaurant is self-service, so after we ordered up front, we took a seat. While we waited for the food to come out, we helped ourselves to the complimentary drinks (hot and cold water, hot tea) and kimchi, which were placed in the middle of the eating area. Conveniently, plates, utensils, napkins, and to-go containers were also placed there so we grabbed some before heading back to our table. When the food came out, we were so excited! The food looked amazing. We got their Spicy Cold Noodle (C3 on the menu, pictured below) and Marinated Spicy Pork Jowl. The cold noodles were perfectly chewy, and so so flavorful because of the amazing sauce, which was sweet and spicy. The addition of toppings (watermelon slice, radishes, sliced beef, cucumbers, two quail eggs) really completed the dish for me. The pork jowl was wonderful. Upon biting into my first piece, I could tell it had the right amount of crunch and bounce. Not mentioned, it was perfectly seasoned. Both dishes were delicious and well portioned, and we enjoyed our meal. I cannot wait to come back soon to try their other dishes (and devour a bowl of their cold noodles and plate of pork jowl again). The restaurant is currently in its soft opening phase, so definitely stop by and support their business!

Was looking for a place in my neighborhood for cold noodles on Yelp. This is a delightful and unassuming little noodle shop. It's self service but has everything you need, including a few bonchon items, hot tea and sauces. There is someone there if you need help. She is very friendly. You order the noodles at the front and help yourself to the kimchi and tea/water. Grab your sauces and utensils and you're on your way to enjoying the fresh noodles and cold broth. Simple, refreshing and delicious!

The signature cold noodle was not good. It looks pretty and social media blew it up and I am disappointed. They also have self serve kimchi and acron jelly which was also not good. I did get the pork Jowl and that was good. The corn noodle soup was also meh.

It is not authentic Korean food. It is not my kind of Korean flavor and overpriced for that simple noodles with no taste. The rib bibimbob has just 3 or 4 little tiny pieces of meat in it. If you are Korean, don't waste your time and money, you know it tastes weird.

Nice spot for a refreshing noodle in cold broth or cold dry noodle. I would recommend giving this place a try.

"Self service" restaurant meaning you get your own water/tea, plates, and banchan. Great concept as you don't need to tip! Got the signature cold noodles, tobiko bibimbap, and short rib. The cold noodles were so refreshing and the tobiko bibimbap was perfectly salty from the eggs. The short rib did not come on a bone which was surprising, but was still tender. Overall, great place and I would return to try their hot soup noodles

This restaurant is worth a repeat. The cold noodles are well made with good texture and the toppings in it are abundant. I also like the soybean cold noodles as well. The bibimbap comes with a soup and the rice is very very crispy with lots of toppings. They make it better than surrounding Korean restaurants. The tofu is my favorite dish. The owner is very nice and gave my baby a small toy car. If you're craving healthy, clean food, this is the place.

Super fresh, delicious, modern Korean restaurant. Had the bibimbop with beef, grilled pork jowl and the special cold noodle. Perfect for a summer day. Very clean place, brand new. It's self service for sides and tea and you pay first which honestly is nicer, makes it faster and more efficient. Highly recommends

Amazing Bi Bim Bap and cold noodles. Delicious fried tofu. The meat looked good but I am pescatarian. Highly recommended. Delicious and affordable. A+++

Disappointed with the quality and quantity of food. I ordered a beef bibimbap and cold buckwheat noodle to go. When I unpackaged the bag, I was surprised to see that spicy cocktail sauce was missing along with the mustard and vinegar sauce for the noodles. I was also shocked to see how little of food they gave. The beef bibimbap came with 2 little strips of beef and few vegetable assortment packed with white rice. It was felt like it was a serving for a child. Definitely not worth the $18 it was priced it at.

During summer, I always look for cold noodles near me and I never really had a good option before. Until now!!! Guk su jip is by far hands down one of the best naeongmyun with buckwheat organic noodles I've ever had. What I like about these noodles is that it helps me to digest easily and I feel very nourished after the meal. Highly recommend Guk su jip as one of the best noodle spot in Flushing.
