Korean Pork Soup in Bayside Ladled at an Open Counter
Slurp clear Korean pork soup in Bayside at a counter where chefs ladle each bowl right in front of you.
🍲 Pork Broth and Crispy Katsu
Korean pork soup in Bayside gets a counter of its own at OKDONGSIK Bayside, 43-13 Bell Blvd. Chefs ladle slow simmered dweji gomtang, a clear pork broth, over warm rice right in front of you, and its light, clean taste is what diners praise first.
Pair the soup with crispy katsu, the other dish on the brief menu that draws steady praise from diners. Seating is counter only, wrapped around an open kitchen in the style of an omakase bar, with light jazz in the background and a focused, intimate mood.
Founder Ok Dongsik studied culinary arts at Kyung Hee University and cooked in Korean embassy and hotel kitchens, and the buzz from Culinary Class Wars has brought new crowds to this Queens counter. Lunch runs daily from half past eleven to 3 PM, and dinner from 5 PM to half past eight.
