If you're Korean in Flushing and sometime you get that little crave for mak-chang (rectum) gop-chang (intestine), there's really no choice around here. My friends and I had a crave and decided to give this place a try, I gotta say.. unless they kick it up some notches.. we probably won't be coming back..
1. 3 "Dweji-kalbi" The marinated pork rib: yes, I enjoyed gnawing on the pork ribs.. I usually don't eat marinated meat because I prefer natural flavors seldom topped with housemade sauces, but my friends recommended it. It was ok.
2. 1 "Gop-chang" The small intestine: Don't freak out. It usually comes out pre-cooked. They're not giving you left over at some other tables. But it's usually under cooked, so cook some more. When we tried it, the skin was very tough, we rrreeeaalllyy overworked our jaws today.
3. 1 "Dae-chang" The large intestine: Looks more appetizing, but skin was even tougher. At this point we were just disappointed. What.. how we're supposed to eat this! We had to ask for sizzors to cut it thinner. It didn't help much.
4. 1 "Mak-chang" The rectum: I believe the menu had another word for it, but most accurate term is rectum. It's supposed to be the lost chewy of all intestines. It was pretty good! But no other restaurants can really bring out Seoul style. Why is that? So sad.
5. "Dwen-jang Jji-gye" Soybean paste soup: Aiyaa.. I get that salt is free, but.. shouldn't it be optional. It's free, but it's salty.
6. "Gye-ran Jjim" Steamed egg: can't go wrong. It's good. Also free.
7. "Kimchee Juhn" Korean Kimchee pancake: can be more crunchy, but here it's served a bit soggy. It's midiocre.
With everything single order except the marinated pork ribs (3 orders), with 18% tip, the dinner came out to $226 for 5 people. Kind of crazy. But yeah, one of the good thing is that they have their own parking space you can turn into, which is pretty rare in Flushing Murray Hill. It's usually circling around for several minutes for street parking. Star for that!
But come on, accept the new trends and kick up some notches! Let's change for the good!
