Authentic Korean cuisine, specializing in dweji gomtang, bossam, and seafood pancake
"One of three new local restaurants specializing in dweji gomtang (pork soup; when combined with rice it’s called gukbap or soup rice). Still owned by Sangjin Park, this down-home gomtang in Bayside mainly caters to Korean American seniors and opens at 7 a.m. for breakfast for early risers. A Chinese translation appears on the menu. The location had previously been a spot for Witch Topokki, and the closing of one restaurant to open a soup spot is cited as indicative of demographic shifts in the neighborhood as the Korean American population shrinks and ages while the local Chinese American demographic expands. Michelle Park, a representative of both this restaurant and the tofu spot, noted that tteokbokki appeals to a younger crowd (hence the Manhattan location) and that “We really had to think about who the residents are,” said Park." - Caroline Shin
"Jimbba functions both as a retailer of interesting Korean spirits and as a tasting room, where I could sample bottles that are hard to find back home." - Katie Chang
