Came here on a Friday evening and was able to grab a table. Bossam was the highlight for me, big portioned, and the meat was fresh/ tender. Highly recommend.

This is an authentic Korean restaurant next to HMart in Flushing. My friend and I were the only non-Koreans in the restaurant over a span of an hour and half. Many of the customers got hot soup, even though we're in the middle of a heat advisory. Perhaps something about the hot soup is good for hot weather?? idk The staff were focused on food preparation and serving, so trying to get the attention of a server to order a side of rice, and then later to get the bill, was a slow process. Overall, a good place with delicious food and a cute atmosphere.

This is honestly worth the trek if you're traveling from downtown Flushing. Prices are a little pricier than I expected but it's all so good and hearty. The must is obviously the ga hwa sui long tong but you can't go wrong with any. The people there were also so nice, gave recommendations and everything, with the food coming out quick. There's very few food out there I would go to on a cold winter night, but this is work the walk (or bus ride) too. Also there is an HMart right there to browse afterwards

We ordered the house Bimbim bap. It was nicely presented with a variety of ingredients. Mixed with the gochujang it was rather tasty though could have been a bit spicier for my taste. My wife order a soup- not sure its name but it was based on a white broth and she surely enjoyed it. We also ordered some beef bbq. It was served hot and thinly sliced with the bone resting on grilled onions in an iron dish to keep it warm. It was a bit fatty but that's the point. The kimchi side was also very good. Great place for luck after shopping at the H-Mart next door.

This Korean restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. Entrance is by the parking lot shared with neighboring stores and Hmart. The interior is simple yet inviting and comforting. We came around 1pm, were greeted by the servers and seated immediately upon entering. We ordered the oxtail soup, tendon salad, fried dumplings and bossam. All the food came out fast. Side dishes were well seasoned. The oxtail soup was simple yet delicious and packed with flavors! Definitely will return for other items on the menu.

Wow what a great spot. It's a hit of a walk from the subway but well worth it. It's right next to the H Mart so make sure to grab some treats before hand. We got there early at 545 on a saturday night and we were glad that we did. It fills up fast with locals. We are so glad we came with someone who knows their Korean food (thanks Calvin!) It's a pretty big place. One story with lots of tables and an efficient staff. But the real delight is the food. The Modum Bossom was really a treat. I've never had the pork belly boiled with the pickled cabbage and other things is a real marvel. It's supposed to be homemade Korean and it sure is not the normal. Korean-American fare that's for sure and that's a good thing. But the Moksai Bossom (pork neck) is even more tender and delicious. So make sure to give that a try as well. The kimchi is also great and the bindaetoek (pancake with mung, pork and vegetables) was a marvel crisp and light. The really amazing final finish was the seolleongtang. This is a bone soup they cook for literally days in huge cauldrons. It's delicious. You need to add some salt and onions and it is delicious with noodles and such great flavor. You really have to try it. So definitely worth the trip out to flushing. Enjoy!

AN ABSOLUTE HIDDEN GEM!! Gahwa is definitely a sparkling hidden gem here in Flushing, offering both authentic, top quality food with great service! I came here in a group of four and we shared 2 sul long tangs, a Japchae, and pa jun. The food portion sizes are really good, the pancake was huge, buttery, stuffed with seafood and crispy on the exterior. The japchae was packed with flavor, noodles were perfectly cooked and glistening. The soup was creamy, comforting and had so much depth. And definitely the best kimchi I've had in a while. The rice with soup combo has me turning at night. The interior of the restaurant felt really comforting and cozy, warm and inviting. But to tell you the truth the food was so good, I didn't pay any attention to anything else around me. While I've read mixed reviews about the service, my personal experience was pleasant. The staff I felt was extremely attentive to our needs, filled our teas, kimchi and were overall very welcoming! This was actually my first time trying sul long tang and it was a great experience. The broth especially was so creamy yet savory, the aftertaste was so comforting and while we only ordered 3 dishes here, it feels like you can't go wrong ordering any dish here. I have nothing but high praises for this restaurant and I'm excited to be back! TLDR; Amazing food, cozy interior, good service, decently priced, good portion sizes

Casual Korean spot I found on tiktok for their bone soup. It was pretty empty when we arrived, we were seated immediately and service was quick. We ordered two bone soups (A1, A2) and another soup (A9) as well as seafood pancake. The soups came unseasoned and you have to season yourself with salt and pepper. They also provide green onions and cabbage to put into your soup. I liked how light the soup was but still it was very white and creamy from the ox bone. A9 (I forgot the name) was very flavorful and delicious if you're feeling something less light. The seafood pancake was pretty standard to mediocre, nothing special. I wish it was more crispy. The part we didn't like much was the lack of side dishes. There was also one dish of kimchi which was delicious but we would've liked more variety. But hey, it's more of a no frills place. I heard the bibimbap is pretty good so that's worth a try.

I enjoyed this noodle spot very much. It was exactly what I needed on a cold night. Better still was that the restaurant was filled with Korean folks of all ages and that's always a great sign of authentic cuisine. No frills, not super trendy in decor, just simple wooden tables and white walls. Per all other Yelp reviews, it's a classic bone broth based noodle shop. They serve an excellent homemade kimchi as well. I must say, since I'm not one to always get to enjoy the heat, many kimchi's are usually too spicy for me to eat a lot. This one was mild but very enjoyable. In fact, I asked for seconds. (I've never done that!) First steps inside the restaurant from the parking lot entrance, you'd be greeted immediately by the servers and more importantly, your nose gets a whiff of that marvelous umami bone broth boiling in the ginormous pot. Smelled so good! Their bimbap and seafood pancake was really good too. Given my shrimp allergy though, I had to be extra careful when eating the pancakes. I picked out the shrimp without issue. The pancake was more dough-like than I normally prefer. But flavor wise, it was good. Table service was great and salt is provided for you to flavor your bone broth further, as it comes under seasoned on purpose. Menu says "salt to taste" literally, everywhere. So I tried the broth without salt and then I slowly added it in each bite to ensure I didn't over or under. Solid spot. Can't wait to return.
