Flushing Korean BBQ With Cold Noodles in a Carved Ice Bowl

Flushing Korean BBQ gets a temperature switch at Tong Sam Gyup Goo Yi, where tableside grilled pork belly meets refreshing cold noodles served in a carved ice bowl. The low key spot on Depot Road carries the feel of a retro Korean barbecue joint, and a wide spread of side dishes fills the table around the grill.

Once the meat is done, order the tableside fried rice that follows. It gets mixed directly on the grill pan with eggs, with roe and cheese among the toppings, and the cooking carries on right where you are sitting. Local Koreans keep the room busy for its authentic, budget-friendly food.

Prices sit in the mid-priced range. Plan around the longer Tuesday through Saturday window, when it opens at noon and closes at 11 PM, while Monday and Sunday run from noon to half past ten PM.
