OKDONGSIK Bayside

That pork bone broth is as good as it can get. The pork is thinly sliced, potion was plentiful and it was extremely savory, especially when paired with the red sauce aka gochuji. Sukbakji, radish kimchi, was just about perfect. I wax even more impressed with the operation. F&B was prepared right in front of you, which significantly reduces cooking and serving time. It seems the business is set up for success. Dining at Okdongsik was a pleasant and impressive experience.

GOOD MEAL! Dweji-gomtang (pork bone broth soup) is really smooth and clear paired very well with Go-Chu Ji(fermented peppers paste) and Kimchi. I love Kimchi Mandoo, it's very flavorful. The Service was professional. The Atmosphere was cozy. Would definitely go there again!

I’m so glad this place finally opened in Bayside! The soup has clean, mild, yet rich taste. The dishes are not overly salty and is very comforting👍

The pork soup (돼지곰탕) has a clean taste and is very simple. Kimchi dumplings are delicious!!

We tried okdongsik in manhattan during their pop up and once we heard they were opening in Bayside we ran. Im sooo glad the taste is still the same!!! Amazing quality food, wonderful service and it’s so serene in here its 👌🏻 chefs kiss. Thank you chef and your wonderful employees!

Great food and great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. I’ve been to Okdongsik in ktown a few times and was so excited for it to open in Bayside. The food did not disappoint! I feel like it might be even better than the one in ktown! They might have made the broth a little saltier? Highly recommend you try this place.

“Michelin-rated Okdongsik restaurant opens in Bayside, emphasizing simplicity in Korean cuisine By Jessica Militello Posted on February 14, 2025 Okdongsik, a newly opened restaurant in Bayside, brings a fresh take on Korean comfort food with a focus on simplicity and high-quality ingredients. Located at 43-13 Bell Blvd., the restaurant is the latest venture of Chef Ok Dongsik, a renowned culinary figure whose first restaurant in Seoul, Korea, quickly garnered attention for its minimalist approach to traditional Korean dishes. Since 2018, Okdongsik has been listed in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand, which recognizes establishments that serve exceptional food at a reasonable price. Now, with the opening of Okdongsik in Bayside, the celebrated chef aims to introduce a refined, yet simple, culinary experience to a new audience, offering dishes that highlight the true essence of Korean comfort food. The restaurant has a unique style in the way it prepares and serves food. Its menu has just four items, each prepared for guests to truly indulge in the food they are eating, mainly as it is, without the need to add more ingredients and flavors. “He wanted to introduce some kind of fundamental flavor of things other than barbeque because nowadays Korean food is really too sweet and they want to give too much impact to one single item,” said Kyle Lee, the Director of Operations at OkDongSik, who translated for Chef Ok Dongsik in the interview. “It’s really packed up with flavors, but at the same time, it’s too much. He wants to convey simplicity through each unique flavor from each ingredient.” After gaining recognition for his first restaurant in Seoul, Chef Ok Dongsik brought his culinary expertise to Manhattan with a pop-up collaboration with Hand Hospitality, which ran from November 2022 to April 2023….”

Delicious Food, Clean Floor, Good Service. Strongly Recommended. I bottomed up.
