Joong Koog Jip

This place is pretty good. Personally, I thought the Jja-jang myun (i.e. 짜장면 or black bean noodles) was just okay. The noodles were fine but the jja-jang sauce was lacking a rich flavor that I’m used to when eating in some of my favorite places in Seoul, South Korea. However, the tang-su-yook (i.e. 탕수육 or sweet & sour pork) dish was quite good. I’m not sure if I’ll be back here any time too soon, but maybe I’ll come back to try other dishes instead of the jja-jang (black bean) noodles.

If you see a lot of Chinese and Korean people dining at a Chinese-Korean restaurant, then you know the food will be good. The tangsuyuk (fried breaded pork loin strips, 탕수육) is a nice mix of meat and breading and the sweet sauce pairs well. The jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles, 짜장면) is great, and I particularly liked the diced potatoes in them. Great place to visit with family! Worth the drive here.

This is a Korean-style Chinese restaurant, and there are many similar places like this all over New York. That said, we’ve been to Joong Koog Jip many times, and there is one dish that we always come back for — the Pan fried Dan Dan Noodles. This dish is a must-order for us every time. The seafood portion is generous, and the sauce is better than what we’ve had at most other places. It’s rich, flavorful, and always satisfying, which is why it’s our go-to dish here. This time, we also ordered the Fried Tofu with sweet & sour sauce, and like most of their other dishes, it was just okay—not bad, but nothing especially memorable. Overall, we keep coming back mainly for the sizzling seafood noodles, which really stand out compared to everything else.

I can understand why this place has 4.1 stars- there are some stellar menu items while others pale in comparison. Still, I will recommend it for the amazing dishes below: I highly recommend the - beef jajangmyeon (So much more savory and yummy than the regular kind! Must try!) - very spicy jam pong! (I have medium spice tolerance and it was a bit spicy at the end, but so delicious! Perfect on a winter day!) I am not used to vinegar or sour tastes in food aside from lemon or lime because I hail from Nepal, so the Tang Soo Yuk was less of my vibe, but the tofu with similar sauce was very good!! You can ask for sauce on the side~ Enjoy your meal!

Joong Koog Jip translates to "Chinese House" in Korean, offering a unique style of Chinese Korean food. Considered a staple for everyday people, and especially on moving days, this cuisine holds a special place in Koreans' hearts. Having been to this specific restaurant many times, it was time for a review. We came for lunch on a Saturday, and it was crowded. I believe it was my first time having to wait. The host ladies were nice and offered to take our orders while we waited, aiming to get our food quickly after we were seated. As a Korean, I appreciated this quick pace and pre-ordered. I can see this being a foreign idea to people who do not understand the quick pace of Korea and its people. After a few minutes, we were seated. I will say it was loud and busy, but my friend and I could hear each other and carry on a conversation. The atmosphere is very authentic; it is not trying hard to be something it is not, and it perfectly captures the image of what I had experienced as a child in Korea. The mirror on the right side of the restaurant made the place seem bigger, which I thought was a smart design choice. Tables were sticky, and it was rainy and humid that day, but it also seemed like the tables were not being cleaned off super cleanly. This might be a bit unsanitary, but it also adds to the authenticity of a no frills Chinese Korean restaurant. They provide the typical side dishes, like 단무지 (danmuji, pickled radish), onion, 춘장 (chunjang, black bean paste), and 깍두기 (kkakdugi, diced radish kimchi). I was not a fan of the 깍두기 since it was soggy, but overall I was satisfied. We had ordered three dishes: 간짜장 (Gan jja jang), 해물짬뽕 (Seafood jjam ppong), and 깐풍육 (Ggan poong pork). The noodles we ordered were sized at medium, but it was a lot; I assume it is more than one serving. The 간짜장 was delicious, savory and not overly sweet. The 해산짬뽕 was good, with a good kick and plentiful amounts of seafood. However, the broccoli was questionable and threw me off, as I have never seen that elsewhere. The 깐풍육 was also great, savory and sweet, with the portion being so large we had leftover food good for another meal. I am not complaining about that! When you get the check, you also receive this fried corn dough glazed with sugar, kind of reminiscent of tanghulu, which is always a treat. I have noticed inconsistencies; sometimes it is hard, sometimes it is not, but I am also not complaining since it is complimentary. The service fell a bit shorter than I had anticipated. The host ladies were great, but the server ladies were super busy. I asked for a refill on the side dishes, and she did not answer but did bring it. A quick "sure" is not hard and is also expected in Korean culture, so that left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, water refills had to be asked for more than three times. But I understand, since it was so busy, and they have been better the prior times I was here. The bathroom was okay; it was not so clean today, but it has been cleaner other times I was here. Overall, I would come back for their other menu items, such as 해물철판짜장 (Haemul Cheolpan Jjajang), which was great from a prior visit. Do not expect top tier service or ambiance; come for the authentic vibe of the restaurant and embrace it.

Aunties serving up comforting bowls of noodles. Big portions to fill you up and feel at home. If you don't know jajangmyeun well it's just like 90% onions stir fried and stewed in bean sauce... It's so good. They do a spicy one that is good and not too spicy. Also I don't know jjangpong well but my eating partner does and they like it a lot. The sweet and sour pork is nice too but I do wish I got the sauce on the side. Sauce on top means it gets soggy fast. Fried shrimp is good too, so was fried rice. All in all this place gets packed and is popular among all ages because they serve fine examples of these two staple dishes (jjangpong and jajangmyeun) This is perhaps my favourite example in the greater NYC area, not counting NJ though. Because maybe Fort Lee and surrounds has good examples too.

This is a hidden gem 💎 in the Murray Hill Section of Queens right by the train 🚂 station. There’s another restaurant with the same name on Northern Boulevard by the Clearview Expressway, but it’s more modern looking. Probably the same owner, but the place looks completely different. This place has a more hole in the wall feel, which is great. This place is run by ladies and they make you feel welcome. Reasonably priced. Great food. You can order small or large portions. Jam Pong, Ja Jang Myun, Kampong Gui, & Tang Soo Yuk are all good. Give this place a try.

Visited the spot for drinking. The fried pork was not freshly fried. It was already mixed with the sauce. I requested sauce on the side but was not an option. I assume they fried the meat hours before and second fry when they get orders. And this is why sauce on the side is possible. The meat was VERY VERY chewy. The shrimp was ok but the barrel was strange. I heard this place is known for spicy black bean noodles. Maybe I should try that dish next time.

Excellent service and food. Spicy Jajangmyeon had good flavor, and the noodles here are really good with nice chew.

3.5 stars Came with some friends who on the quest to find best Jajangmyeon, they used to live in Korea so the expectations are high. We order Large Jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk to share, fried rice also combo jjampong/Jajangmyeon. Everything looks really good, but lacking in flavor. Jajangmyeon is the better option, smell really really good, but it taste kind of bland. We struggle to finish the jjampong. Tangsuyuk is not the best, but pretty good. Banchan is meh. They gave you small little sweet donut dessert for free.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 7 Word of advice, just come for the ja jang myun and you'll have a decent meal. The noodles are perfectly cooked, smooth with an excellent chew. I prefer the pork or beef sauce more than the others, but their spicy one is not a bad change up sometimes. However, be warned that there is a natural sweetness to the sauce due to the onions that turn some people off. With that said, I'm not a big fan of most of their other offerings like stews, battered and stir fry items. On our most recent visit, we had the shrimp poong gi and scorched rice soup with seafood. Neither were bad, but also nothing I really want again. Once again, just come for their signature noodles.

I had been craving Korean Chinese food for the longest time and was so excited to finally come here when I learned that Flushing/Murray Hill had a Korean population and many restaurants to explore! I ordered the Jjajangmyeon and Jjamppong combo and really enjoyed them. I loved the chew in the noodles and how sauced up they were. On the soup side, I was a bit intimidated by the deep red color of the broth because I don't have the best spice tolerance. However, it was still manageable and delicious and I couldn't help but keep eating it. The portions were just right too in my opinion and I would absolutely order this again if I come back. My table got a half and half sweet and sour chicken and pork combo to share and I thought they were pretty good. In my opinion, the flavor of the fried chicken was more present than the pork one. I felt like the pork one seemed almost bland compared to the chicken. The sauce was stickier than I usually have but perhaps that is just how it is cooked. I think the crispiness of the pork could've shined through more if it had a little bit less sauce coated on it. Regardless, this meal definitely satisfied my cravings for Korean Chinese food and I am so excited to eat my way through the neighborhood. There seems to be many delicious authentic spots!

I wanted to love this place; I really did but alas it was not to be. I had high expectations given a red from a good foodie friend (maybe former after this ), and some good reviews on social media. I don't think that made my expectations too high coming in because my issues were more basic. There was just a lack of depth or umami missing from their dishes. First some background. Joong Koog Jip means Chinese House in Korean, which means they specialize in Chinese Korean dishes like Jia Jiang Myun (noodles with black bean sauce), Jjam Pong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and Tangsooyuk (sweet and sour fried meats). The good ones also have clams in a spicy black bean sauce (clams bokkeum). That should have been first tipoff that something was amiss because they did not have that dish but they had it with mussels. My wife loves the clam dish and so we ordered this mussels one. It was not good because the sauce was too watery; there was no bok Choy, and dish overall was too small. In got the combo and was not happy with either. Their Jjam Pong lacked umami as I said. It was spicy enough and had a good amount of noodles and seafood but lacking. The Jia Jiang Myun was similarly lacking something. Not sure if it was because there were too many veggies and not enough meat but it was thin tasting. On a positive note, Tangsoo chicken was ok but anything deep fried is going to be good. It would have been really good if they used a little salt in their batter but once you put the hot and sour sauce over it, it's still good. One final callout was the complimentary dessert, I'm we thought were gogoma mattang or candied sweet potatoes , but instead of sweet potatoes, they use rice cake balls. Once you get past the confusion, it is not bad. I still prefer the potato version but this was different and not bad. If you are in the mood for really good Jia Jiang Myun (not Jjam Pong) and find mind paying a little more than usual, go to Gom Tang but bring your own dangmooji.

We got there right when they opened. We were seated right away. It's a small little shop with a few (very few) parking spots in the front. My friend said parking in the area can be pretty tough. Inside it was relatively small. I ordered the Jjam Jja myun. I loved the seafood part. The broth was slightly spicy and flavorful with plenty of seafood. There was octopus, mussels, shrimp, and lots of noodles. My daughter was ok with her Don Katsu. The pork was crispy and the portion was generous. She didn't like the sauce for the Don Katsu or the salad but she enjoyed the meat and rice. There was also fried pork for the table. Koreans really know how to fry their meat. It was hot and crispy. Even when it got cold it was still crispy. I'm not an expert of Korean food but it had the comfort of home cooking. By the time we left there were people waiting for our table.

Tried this place with a few friends. Their interior is very simple, your classic korean/chinese restaurant. The service was fast and all of the staff was very nice. They do have the dishes were you can pick half jjangmyeon and half of the seafood noodle soup but we all just went for the jjangmyeon. I got the small and my friends got the large size but these portions were HUGE. Even my small size, I could not finish it all and had to bring some home. And the best part is I'm pretty sure mine was only $10. This was such a classic and solid jjangmyeon for just $10. We also got a sweet and spicy pork which was good as well. Loved the crispiness of the pork and the flavors of the sauce. Overall this is a great place for a comforting and affordable meal. Will be back again!

삼선짜장면 (SEAFOOD JJA JANG MYUN) - Weak sauce, good noodle portion and sea food/veggies 짬뽕 (SEAFOOD JJAM PONG)- Good clean, not too spicy broth , good portion service- Complimentary dessert was my favorite part- crunchy and sweet. Ambiance- standard Korean non-contemporary diner, big picture +name of the food on the wall If I go again, unless I am craving those two food specifically, I might try something else on the menu. Fair but weren't a standout (3.5).

Great little spot in Murray Hill. In an area full of Korean restaurants, this one stands out for its comfort/homey food. Love how you can get half portions of their popular noodles or fried pork/chicken. I can never get tired of eating jajangmyeon. Service is super friendly and helpful. Always love coming here

Went out for Father's Day dinner with my family since Dad wanted to try Korean Chinese food. Wow, the servings were ENORMOUS!!! We ordered 4 dishes for the 3 of us and we had sooo much leftover. The mushroom dish was lovely. The sweet sour chicken and pork were fine. But the seafood ja hang noodles were the highlight! So much seafood and came sizzling to the table, yum!

Went here in person recently with two of my friends, I was a little anxious because it had been a while and I do all the research on where we go. As Anna Y pointed out the service here was amazing and warm, the food had stayed up to par and we enjoyed every single dish we had ordered, the mussels, Tang Soo yuk-Pork, Signature JjanJangMyun, and Jjam Pong.

Tried both their signature menu and thought they were pretty good. I do feel that their flavors are a bit bland but their spicy jajangmyeon is actually pretty spicy. The service was pretty good and not a lot of people for lunch but a lot more people for dinner. Overall, pretty good eat for the price.

It's located in an area with a lot of Korean food so parking may be difficult. Therefore, check to see if there's parking in front of the store first. Can park 1-2 cars but better than nothing. Spent so long for parking just to realize they had parking afterwards... interior is very home vibe, like those typical restaurants in korea. Servers speak Korean, English, and mandarin (maybe more that idk) but they're very nice. Offered us an apron since I was wearing white. The food portions are huge?? Lol we ordered way more than we can finish. The chicken tangsuyuk was in a large plate. Served separately with the sauce since they asked if we want it separately. Love that they asked, I don't like it when crunchy things can get soggy after soaked in sauce. Overall all the food we ordered were prettyyyy good. Jjajangmyeon is also noticeably different than other ones I've had. Their sauce got more meat and onion mixture than liquid. Flavor is pretty mild but not bad at all.

First time dining in at this place but it is definitely DEFINITELY better than just getting takeout or delivery. The Jajangmyun at this place has to be the best I've ever had in Flushing and with the spicy seafood soup noodle on the other half just made it cherry on top. We also ordered some sweet and sour pork and shrimp and it was AMAZING. Definitely eat that with some rice and it'll make your whole mouth salivate. We had a very nice server and the atmosphere of the place was quite since we went a bit late but we are not complaining! Would definitely come back again.

My friend took me here after a 90 minute massage. Needless to say, I was ravenous and ready to eat! We came here on Saturday early afternoon, it wasn't too busy and we got a table right away. My friend was in charge of ordering since she has been here several times. The food came out quick! We got Ggan Poong Shrimp, fried shrimp with sour garlic and red pepper sauce. The batter was a bit too thick for me and didn't have enough flavor. The chili like sauce was different and a bit spicy for me. For entrée, we split the large size Jjam Jja Myeon, spicy seafood noodle soup and noodles in black bean sauce. The large bowl is split in the middle separating the two kind of noodles. I have never seen it serve this way. What a great idea! I like the texture of the noodles and black bean sauce was savory and delicious. The seafood noodle soup was good but I had better. After we paid, we were given complimentary donut like dessert but it's hard and crunchy. It was nice finish to the meal. Good attentive service.

Best Chinese food in Flushing! I always come here as soon as I get off the plane and last meal before I get on the plane. I also buy more to go, freeze it, and bring it home. This place is super affordable, traditional flavors, and very cozy. I highly recommend anyone looking for these cuisine to try it at least once.

Great little spot with no frills Korean Chinese food. The large size of jajang myun was quite large and we couldn't finish it between two people. The tang soo yuk was delicious and the batter was so light. We had no issues finishing that dish between three people. The portions here are quite big. Servers were nice and fairly attentive.

Been craving korean chinese food so trekked all the way here! We got the jjajangmyun, pepper jjamppong, and tangsooyook. The latter two were definitely the stars of the meal - the pork was perfectly crispy and had a good ratio of meat to batter. The pepper jjamppong isn't too spicy and had a reasonable portion of seafood. Restaurant itself is quite spacious so you can definitely bring a group.

Delicious black bean noodles! Great price for the quantity. The service was so nice! A casual spot for good food. I'd definitely recommend and go back again.

Local Korean - Chinese restaurant in Flushing, Queens. This restaurant has no sign of the place outside, my friend and I have to look at the building address to find this place. Looks like this place make for local people. We have lunch menu of Jjam Pong; Spicy noodle soup with seafood and vegetables. Medium size of regular meal Spicy Ja Jang Myun; Noodles with pork and vegetables in very spicy black bean sauce. At first, we thought the food won't enough for us but when we got our food even medium is very big potion for us plus, we share but still too much. Both noodles are fresh and delicious, seafood is great and lots of shrimp, squid and mussels. Ja Jang Myun sauce is very taste and even it said very spicy but for us is not spicy at all, but we still love it a lot. Service is very friendly and nice like family.

I tried this place in person for lunch special and delivery, both had great experience. The food is yummy and noodle portions are bigger than expected. It is better to go in person if you can since the noodles is a little hard to loosen if you do takeout but texture still very good once you manage to loosen them In the sauce. When we went for the lunch special, we got 2 combos. One is the duo noodles bowl w/ fried dumplings and the other is the duo noodles with fried chicken with sauce. The noodles are much bigger than the picture so if you don't eat a lot a lot, might be better to share. It was a struggle to finish lol. I personally think the black bean noodles can have a little more flavor but their spicy seafood noodle soup is so good! Their fried dumplings are also so good fresh. Unfortunately it got soft when we tried it delivered but that's to be expected. The servers there are also very nice. The ambiance is relaxing but nothing crazy, just a nice typical Chinese/ Korean restaurant vibe. Their lunch social is definitely worth it. Even if you do dinner, for the portion of noodles you get, it is still pretty good

Large portion sizes and really good Korean-Chinese food; I was craving both jajangmyun and jjampong so I got the jjamjamyun which satisfies both cravings. My friends and I also got a tangsooyuk to share and the portion size was so big we couldn't finish by the end. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever craving any of the above again.

Nice little shop with a lot of options. I ordered the usual. Quick and friendly service. Fresh and very tasty. Must try. Only three spots parking. Cheers

Atmosphere, service, ladies, food, were all amazing. The sweet sour pork and seafood mix veg rice were all big portion and so tasty. Love the free jjampong soup it came with. Sharing portions we were stuffed. Also enjoyed the side dishes very much. Finally, the lil desserts were crunchy and sweet. I would go back every day if i could.

Joong Koog Jip deserves 5 stars for their generous portions of crispy, tangy Sweet and Sour Pork (Tangsuyuk), and 4 stars for the savory Black Bean Sauce Noodles (Jajangmyeon). The fried pork boasts a delightful crunch, complemented by the tangy sauce. The umami-packed noodles, adorned with onions, offer a rich, satisfying flavor. They provide generous servings of free tea and banchan. Overall, a must-experience for anyone new to Korean cuisine seeking an authentic taste! Do you dip or do you pour tangsuyuk?

Always hits the spot. I love that you can try a bit of everything with their set meals and split bowls. The wait staff was attentive without being overbearing and the food was as good as remembered.

This is the go to jajangmian spot. Always super consistent and fast pace service. Servers are also very welcoming. We always get the small dumplings, sweet and sour pork or chicken, and a personal serving of jajangmian. Chill location. They leave you alone until you need something. Tip: parking up front but generally full. Drive 1 block out there's always spots.

Absolutely loved this Korean-Chinese restaurant in Flushing! The practicality of being able to order a half/half dish of two popular items made it very easy to decide what to get. Came during a lunch special, only ~$12? For the full order of Tang-Su Pork. All dishes were delicious, noodles in the Jjam Pong Soup and Ja Jang Myun were very chewy and flavorful. Definitely would love to come back.

I was looking for any place that served Jjampong because I haven't had it in 24 years. The first time was in Busan, South Korea in 1994, then a small place specializing in Korean-Chinese food in Flushing, Queens around 1999. I lived in Flushing for a short while, so I was fortunate to get my fill in Asian food, predominantly Korean cuisine. I was very impressed with this dish because of the rich seafood broth and level of heat. I am still a fan of hot food and remember the steaming hot bowl coming out and slurping up the noodles while the steam was still rising into my face when I lifted the noodles to my mouth. This dish had depth, layers of love, and most importantly, Seoul! (Soul). While I'm no longer a New Yorker, I had to make the one-hour trip (subway & bus) from Brooklyn to Flushing just for this dish. I found this place (4 stars) and if you look at the picture I attached, the jjampong looks the business. It had noodles (I think spaghetti but definitely not Asian noodles), loads of seafood (quality mid/lower range), and just enough heat to get my nose to run. The only thing missing was the "Seoul". There was no depth of flavor in the dish. I kept eating and almost finished the "medium" size bowl but it's like the seafood was added last because the broth wasn't rich or had character, just heat. It did not resemble what I remember from South Korea (Busan) or in Flushing years ago. The price wasn't bad but my experience wasn't up to par. Sorry guys.

This was my second time coming here and having the jja jjang myeon. The first time I tried it the noodles were so good here. Every other place I've been to eat the same dish has disappointed me but this place once again impressed me. The service was also good. There were waiters around to service you as needed and after ordering the food it came out fairly quickly. When they brought it out my mouth started watering as I gaped at the sizzling dish. The taste was just as good as last time. As for the ambiance of this place, it was still as comfortable here as last time. The atmosphere was friendly. The waiters were kind. The pricing was also pretty good. It was $32 for the noodles which I thought was fair considering how large the portion was and how much different kinds of seafood there was in the dish. This place never fails to amaze me!

The food was good and the portion was a lot (ordered the M size for ja Jang myun for both regular and spicy) and the chicken dish is enough for 2. The spice level for the ja jang myun is mainly the lingering spice, I don't suggest unless you can take the heat of the 2x spicy buldak instant noodles. We were able to be seated and served quickly on a Saturday night. The place does seem to get busy through out the night.

THIS. Is where you get scrumptious Korean Chinese food! Of course, it had to be in the middle of like, no where. The interior was so roomy and warmly lit, dining here felt like I was living in the suburbs enjoying authentic Korean dishes, especially with the sounds of ahjummas and ahjusshis speaking Korean in the background. The menu was a lot of the same things, done differently. Hence, I accidentally mistakened their signature jjampong for the regular jjampong. We got the Tangsoo Pork, Tangsoo Chicken, Signature Jjajangmyeon, and Signature Jjampong. They offer the option of having the sauce on the side or mixed in. Check-in for free fried vegetable mandoos on the house, my Yelpies! The portion sizes were HUGE. First up, the TangSoo Pork ($20.95) was amaaazing. These have to be the best I ever had, and maybe it's because I usually have the sweet and sour sauce on the side. I guess I actually like my Tangsoo Yuk to be not so fried! These had a PERFECT batter to meat ratio. Tons of pork, and so juicy too! The same goes for the Tangsoo Chicken ($20.95). I never tried this Korean dish before, and while it tasted as savory, the Tangsoo Yuk is just OG, you know? Fried just does better on the pork here! Note the onions here were also particularly spicy! The Signature Jjajangmyeon ($20.90) came in a plate over the usual bowl. And it was GINORMOUS, enough to feed any family of 6! The noodles were so soft that they can probably melt in your mouth with the help of that delicious black bean sauce. With primarily onions, and some pork and zucchini, I was intrigued to see fake crab meat in it as well. A must-get hands down! The Signature Jjampong ($11.95) was not the typical jjampong with the soup that you're used to. My friend preferred the soupy one, and I agree. This dish is more of a solid sauce, but it still presents you that same spicy kick! With plenty of mussels and even whole shrimps (with the head!), this dish was FILLED with ingredients. I still don't get why people would torture themselves drinking spicy liquid, but, the familiar soup aspect definitely would have been that missing nail on the head! So get the regular Jjampong if you're looking for that too. With super sweet staff members, a bright and inviting interior, and delicious authentic food, you just have to try this place out.

a very home-y kinda spot with comfort foods. they focus on korean-chinese foods and noodles is the main focus here. we got the following to try: -jjajangmyeon + jjampong combo (M): jjajangmyeon had nice chewy noodles and the sauce was savory and tasty. however, i didn't find too much pork belly in the sauce and when i do find it, the texture is very dry and tasted kinda old. the jjampong had a good amount of seafood, chewy noodles, and nice broth. i liked it! -jjajangmyeon: same comments as above, but the full order is a pretty big portion. -tangsuyuk: huge portion of battered and crispy-fried pork. our server asked if we wanted the sweet and sour sauce on the side and we liked having that option. the sweet and sour sauce was nicely balanced. overall, huge portions, good service, fairly-priced food, a good spot to come to when you're looking for no-frills korean-chinese food.

Laidback no frills place with good food and homely vibes. Wow - for $40 you can get a big ass meal and at least 3 more meals after. Their large jajyangmyeon was by far the largest I've ever had. The quality of noodles are AMAZING and it's the first place that I've tried that hasn't over cooked the noodles, a slight bite to it. Tangsyeuk is the best value, if you've ordered it before, you'll notice it's not the cheapest with food prices lately but they really give you your money's worth. Not sure how they make it so crispy and not oily in the slightest. Plus the pieces are on the smaller side with a generous heated portion of sauce, the bowl stayed hot the entire meal. Clean, efficient, attentive service throughout. They packed my leftovers with care down to the way the bag was tied and properly aligned. The attention to detail!! Love that little sweet they throw in at the end, I have no idea what it was but I think it has corn bits in it. 100% recommend

Service: 4/5 Since this was a no frills spot I wasn't expecting amazing service but they were decent. Food came quick and requests were fulfilled fast as well. Place was clean as well. Food: 3.5/5 I've heard great things so it built the expectation but it didn't hit the jjajangmyeon craving I had. It was kind of bland. Jjampong was good though and way better than the jjajangmyeon. Suprisingly the omurice was the best! I would come back only for the omurice. Price: 5/5 Price was worth the food and service.

Pretty standard Korean Chinese place. I've been here a few times and I've mostly ordered the jajangmyun. It's standard jajangmyun. Portion size is good and the noodles weren't overcooked or soggy. I mostly order the regular size, but one time I ordered the large size. The portion was quite a bit and it took some stretches to finish. On occasion, I have ordered the gampungkee. The fried chicken with garlic sauce is on point. The chicken is cooked well and the sauce is tasty.

The restaurant is pretty popular and full during lunch time but the wait isn't too bad. I came here for the jja jang myun. It's my first time having non-instant jja jang myun so I don't know how it comes to other places but it was very good. They serve a small cup of tea and pickled turnips and radishes on the side. The noodles of the jja jang myun was perfect, soft yet slightly chewy. The flavor of the sauce was good too but on the light side. There was plenty of vegetables and onions in the sauce but not much meat. At the end they give two pieces of sweet fried dough. Some of the other noodle dishes other people ordered looked huge!

Great restaurant for Korean-Chinese food! These types of comfort food really hit the spot when you get the craving. I would recommend to get the combination of Jjajangmyun and Jjamppong, which is super filling and tastes authentic. The tangsuyuk was a good compliment to the noodle dishes. The side dishes were a bit lacking though. Nevertheless, it was decently priced. The restaurant was clean and adhered to standard precautions.

This place has the best Jjajangmyeon or Ja Jang Myun. The noodle is fresh and high quality. The save makes the noodle more tasty. Had Ggan Poong Yuk-Pork and Mandoo as side dishes. Was a great combo. Prefer others to try out this noodle.

The restaurant has good service and an extensive Korean barbecue menu. The staff are very attentive and the banchan is good.

Good no frills Korean-Chinese restaurant! The jajangmyeon and jajangmyeon/jjampong dishes were MASSIVE and delicious. Everything on the menu was super affordable + there was even parking in front of the store too! satisfied our noodle cravings :)

Ate here again for lunch with my mom before going to work. I got the sweet and sour chicken and my mom got the chicken with broccoli. It was really good to share and eat it. The service was also great and quick to get our orders. I couldn't agree more to eat there for the second time that my mom seems to enjoy and like eating there all of a sudden and enjoy their sticky donuts for dessert. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again anytime/next time! :)

Great local spot for Korean and Korean-Chinese food. Their menu options have all the classics, such as jjajang myeon and tangsooyok. They also have other noodle and meat options, including ggangpoongki (a deep fried chicken dish with sweet and spicy sauce). We ordered the jjajang myeon and tangsooyok and the food was plenty to feed two adults. The price is reasonable as well! A lot of places can make these dishes, but are generally executed poorly, with either too much grease or clearly prepped with pre packaged ingredients. Joong koog jip's food tasted fresh. The noodles had a good consistency. The tangsooyok was breaded lightly, with a great crunch. The sauce was light and not too heavy on the cornstarch, with an appropriate balance of sweet and savory. The restaurant also took great covid precautions. They checked your temperature, maintained social distancing and also took your name and contact information in case they needed to reach you for possible exposure. We felt safe even though it was indoor dining. Highly recommend!

This is my go to spot for Jajangmyeon. The employees here are always super sweet and super welcoming when you walk in. The store is usually empty so you get a lot of privacy as well if you value that type of experience. Walking into the store, the shop feels very homely. My boyfriend and I always order jajangmyeon and Tangsu-yuk pork. The jajangmyeon is always good, its not too salty and yet just the right amount of savory, the portion sizes are also always consistent. Its hard to say the same for the tangsu-yuk. Sometimes they give a lot but other times it definitely looks like they might've skimped out on us.... i also don't have a scale so Im not sure about that; just by eye, the portions sizes don't look consistent. However, I always enjoy my meal regardless. Prices; for the portion sizes and the quality of food, I would say that these prices are actually quite amazing. The jajangmyeon is so affordable at around $8-9 dollars a bowl and if you share a tangsu yuk which comes to around $20 between friends, everything is still so affordable! One thing that i love about this place, would be the dessert they serve at the end with the bill!! The candied corn ball is soo good and I love the texture as well as the taste to it. A great ending to our meal I only ever come here for jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. My friends have visited and ordered other things, and the other shared plates of meat similar to the tangsu yuk have been pretty enjoyable. Although, I would say if you're ordering anything besides jajangmyeon I would be careful. My friend ordered tonkatsu and it was so dry. It looked like a disk of meat. You could probably use it as a frisbee. Wouldn't recommend the tonkatsu. TL;DR Come here for Jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk; super affordable; lovely service; great portion sizes for jajangmyeon, hit or miss for tangsuyuk; dont get the tonkatsu unless you're planning on playing frisbee with it

If you've watched any kdrama, you know what we're about to have. Jjajangmyun!!! After many days trying to curb my cravings for this dish by eating instant jjajangmyun, I was so excited to eat the real deal. I was a bit worried about the quality of the food and any major changes that may have occurred due to the pandemic, but nothing really has changed. If anything, their service and food tasted better?! Great news :) They also don't serve their fried corn dough(?) anymore, which was fine with us because we were STUFFED! We ordered: - Seafood Jjajangmyun (5/5) They cut the noodles for us which made it easier for us to mix the sauce and to eat. The sauce comes with so much seafood and vegetables and had a mild subtle flavor which allowed us to enjoy every component of the noodle dish. The noodles they use are very bouncy(?) and chewy and didn't fall apart or get mushy. Loved it! Highly recommend. -Jjampong (5/5) This is a spicy seafood noodle soup, that really balances out the couples jjajangmyun. We really enjoyed getting bites of each dish to complement each other, and they used the same noodles. Surprisingly the noodles didn't get bloated from sitting in the soup. We enjoyed the hot spicy soup with the jjajangmyun, so delicious! -Ggan pong gi (5/5) Ive seen most kdrama and people have their jjajangmyun with the fried pork (tangsoo yuk) but I personally enjoy the spicy garlic sauce over the sweet and sour. I recommend getting this with the sauce on the side so that the breading doesn't get soggy and maintains its crisp exterior. It is definitely a bit on the doughy side but I find its still very enjoyable. This is a definite must to go with any one of the noodle dishes you choose. Highly recommend coming with family or friends so you can get a taste of everything especially because their portions are HUGE. I can't wait to come back the next time I have a jjajangmyun craving. Amazing and quick service. Overall chefs kiss~

Been by this place a couple of times and always seemed pretty empty so I never gave it a thought to try. Came this time with some friends for a birthday dinner and I would have to say the food was all pretty good. The sweet and sour garlic pork was tender and very good. It had just the perfect amount of sauce and went very well with rice. The it was a large plate and we just couldn't stop eating it. The steamed dumplings were both very good and and good mix. They actually made a very good Japchea. Was not as oily as a lot of the other Korean restaurants that I have been. Also not being dry. My wife really liked her noodle soup however being just a bit on the thicker side I would say. I feel the place definitely needed an remodel and a cleaning though. Place was kinda old and food was good. Will be back to try some other dishes.

Was in the area and wanted authentic Korean noodles, and this place delivers. It's hidden behind another restaurant so finding this restaurant takes a bit of patience. Got their popular Spicy Jia Jang Myun noodles ($9), and the Jap-Chae. The Jia Jang noodles is a dry noodle and the black bean sauce is poured on top, its their special blend of sweet and savory of the sauce that makes it so good. JapChae tasted above average as well, though it came out to be close to $18 an order. The ban-chans were okay, and they gave a small cup of dessert which I really enjoyed ~ The sweet fried dough balls are a must!

Joong Koog Jip or Chinese House is a popular choice for Korean-Chinese staples, whenever I visit my parents in Bayside. Spices are milder than typical Korean, but still packs a flavorful punch. Our usual order includes their Seafood Jampong, Seafood Jjajangmyeon, Tangsuyuk, Fried Mandu and of course the fried doughnut balls with kernels of corn drenched in a sweet glaze. Those are usually what I eat first since they're delicious little bites! Seafood Jampong noodle soup is excellent. It comes with extra seafood and the right amount of spice for a very nourishing bowl. With takeout the noodles will get stuck together, it's better to eat them in-house. Seafood Jjajangmyeon is also great, plenty of seafood and black bean sauce, with the right balance of flavors that you'll be stuffing your face since it's so comforting. Recently, we got the Tangsuyuk sweet and sour dish with fried beef, pork, and chicken. We wanted to try all their meat varieties and naturally, liked the original pork the most. Fried Mandu pork and veggie dumplings and some light sides round out a nice homey meal. I always get cravings for Korean-Chinese staples and JKJ does a great job satisfying them!

I love Joong Koog Jip! The spicy seafood noodle is my favorite. Their service is good, too. Always so kind and nice. I can eat their food everyday!
