The Hottest New Restaurants in Queens, January 2025

"Guksu Jip is a cozy nook in Murray Hill specializing in house-made naengmyeon of the Korean-Chinese sort that’s rare in New York. This one features traditional buckwheat noodles that are long, thin, dark brown, and wonderfully chewy, with toppings that stand out like a refreshing slice of watermelon and a couple of quail eggs. Hot dishes like dumplings and soondooboo round out the menu. This spot is quick and convenient with self-serve water and banchan — kimchi, mung bean jelly, peanuts — at the back." - Caroline Shin, Eater Staff

"Guksu Jip, in Queens’ Murray Hill, serves up a great way to beat the heat in the form of cold noodles. The spot, which opened in June, specializes in naengmyeon—and they’ve got several versions of the chilled noodles, including one with watermelon that sounds particularly refreshing. Other Korean classics round out their longer menu." - will hartman

Guk Su Jip 국수집 - 北方面家 - Cold Korean Noodle Naengmyeon (냉면) & Dolsot Bibimbap

One of the most satisfying Korean meals I’ve had recently. The budae jjigae had a rich and flavorful broth with the perfect level of spice — comforting and hearty. The stone pot bibimbap was fresh and well-balanced, especially with the crispy rice at the bottom. The seafood pancake was crispy on the outside while still soft inside, and the pork cutlet was surprisingly tender and not greasy at all. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere feels cozy and authentic. Definitely a great spot for casual dining or sharing with friends. Would absolutely come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food. Clean interior and bathroom as well! We came here because we wanted to try cold buckwheat noodles but was concerned it was only available in the summer (that's the case at other places). But to our good surprise it was available during the winter (February). We ended up getting the signature cold noodle dish, spicy seafood noodle dish, and corn noodle dish (never had noodles made of corn!). We also got side dishes of marinated grilled pork jowl and mung bean pancake. Everything was delicious, especially the cold noodle dish and mung bean pancake. While they say it's self serve, that only really applies to the banchan. They still served us our main and side dishes at our table. And they ended up cleaning our table as well. Yet they explicitly advertise they don't need tips. I ended up giving a handful of dollars just because I chose to but there is no solicitation or pressure by the staff at all. Again there are signs throughout that say "No tips!"

It was so incredibly clean and the staff was so friendly and kind! Food was great and gave huge portions. Their banchan tasted fresh and the self service area was kept clean and neat. There were also signs for everything so it was easy to navigate if you were there your first time. Highly recommend, would come back!

I’m amazed by the massive portion the restaurant is offering. Unlimited the side dishes for dine in and not tip required!!! The spicy beef knife-cut noodles is a must try!!

Hands down the best restaurant kimchi I’ve had yet — super refreshing! I ordered the signature cold noodles, which came in a generous portion that’s perfect for sharing. The broth leans on the sweeter side and includes a slice of watermelon, making it an ideal meal for a sunny day. You order and pay before sitting down, and the side dishes are self-serve. It’s a no-tip establishment, which reminded me of the service style in Japan. Overall, great food, great service — highly recommend!

Staff was really nice. The restaurant gives cozy vibes. Liked that we were able to get our own banchan. Got the cheese spicy chicken hot stone bibimbap and it was really good!

I had a great time here. I had their beef noodle soup. It came with wheat noodles which were great. They had plenty of sides you can have for no extra cost. The macaroni salad and kimchi were on point! We also had some delicious pork dumplings which I believe used noodle dough as the casing. I totally recommend coming here if your in the mood for soup and noodles.

Perilla oil noodles - authentic Korean dish. The chef, the sweetest Korean grandma asking if we enjoyed the meal, homemade tea. A gem Came back and had spicy mixed cold noodle. Incredible. I love it here

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.

Sam Y.

Yelp

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

Karen S.

Yelp

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.

Yuan C.

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).

Wendy W.

Yelp

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!

Carmen W.

Yelp

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.

Jason T.

Yelp

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! :)

Amy W.

Yelp

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.

Geoffrey N.

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.

Becky W.

Yelp

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

Evelyn N.

Yelp

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.

Terssa T.

Yelp

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!

Viona C.

Yelp

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.

Jane S.

Yelp

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.

Helen S.

Yelp

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.

Alice N.

Yelp

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

Zachary C.

Yelp

"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

Jessica L.

Yelp

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.

Stephen Y.

Yelp

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

Sam O.

Yelp

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

Danny L.

Yelp

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.

LeadFlow N.

Yelp

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.
