They have awesome outdoor seating with heaters and the food is lovely. This is a great place for lunch, as they have affordable lunch specials.
I would recommend this restaurant to the people who want to enjoy Korean style Chinese food, but not the person who want to enjoy quite and eating alone. They had a place for the single person, but the servant was not being really kind. She was never answering to my talk at the first time but started to answer if the talk is needed. The other staffs were pretty kind, but soon the card reader started to not working. This restaurant gave me the most chaotic time when I was paying for my meal... My cards were totally fine while I was staying in the US for about 3 years. Anyway, with one of the staffs help, I finished the payment but still very unsatisfied with the system of this restaurant.But this restaurant has wide space, and large tables for family. I would never visit here alone tho.
Taste was really bad. Literally noodle and sauce are separated. I can say that this place is the worst place that I ever had.
Lady at the counter charged me wrong price, she over Charged me $39.00. I had to come back to get my money back. Food wise, any other chinese korean restaurants. Nothing special.
Absolutely the best noodle with black bean sauce. Fresh noodle, great sauce that is perfectly seasoned and not over powering. The fried squid is also one of my favorites. Onsite valet parking is available.
I came here for lunch today and ordered from the set menu. I ordered #4 which included some black bean noodles, sweet and sour chicken, a dumpling, corn and a salad! You get a bit of everything, which is what I like. Its the same price as a regular bowl of the black bean noodles and leaves you feeling satisfied. Lunch special is until 3pm. Try it!
Prices are in the high range, but portions are HUGE. Food came out hot, fresh, and high quality. Would have liked a little more seafood in the noodle soup.
There Chinese food is more expensive than Korean food, I had noodles , they are delicious!
I love this Chinese Food, taste good but sometime only taste bit off.
The food is good, but I haven’t been back in over a year, after I was treated very rudely by the woman who took my pick-up order over the phone. She seemed angry that I had questions about the menu items. Her English was not good, so maybe that’s why she was annoyed? Or maybe it was pandemic stress, who knows. Either way, I’m still scared to call back, as stupid as that may sound. The aggressively rude way she answered my questions really left me feeling humiliated.I’m writing this review so far after the fact because I just now happened upon the restaurant on google maps, which made me realize that I’m actually still quite upset about how I was treated that day. My family is Korean and we’ve been coming here for years, but I don’t think I’ll be back. Really was a jarring experience…. It’s rare I’m ever spoken to like that. Why be rude to someone who isn’t being rude to you?? So unnecessary :(
Staff are friendly. The noodle I had taste like my favorite shrimp chip!
This Korean chinese restaurant has been around the neighborhood a long time because its consistently good. Definitely recommend.
Great jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk here. They don’t provide appetizers like most Korean restaurants, only radish pickles, raw onion chunks and kimchi. The portion is pretty big so appetizers don’t really matter. Will definitely come back while craving the black bean sauce noodles.
Very nice owner and excellent service...awesome place to celebrate any occasion especially birthday party ...looking forward for another birthday party here...
Literally the only place in NYC I found vegetable jjangmyong and loved it.
Has private parking. Its January and only outdoor dining available. I used to come here quite often before Covid and now portions have noticeably shrunk & no more complimentary deserts. Overall, decent food, ok service but business is hard on everyone I guess.
Ordered fried rice and they serve me some left over microwaved rice. It wasnt cooked right away. It tasted mushy and soggy. How can u serve left over at a chinese place? Dont ever go here again! Wasted my money and appetitte
I have been going here from a young age with my family. I must day I have a lot of memories here. The owners have changed several times, however, there are a few waitresses that stayed. I love their KamPoongSaeWoo (Shrimp) and their Mixed Seafood. Im happy that although owners have changed, the taste of the food is still the same. This is my choice of Korean/Chinese restaurant and ways will be.
Soup champong not matched to New Jersey restaurants, Deep soup taste respie making to Cook needed.
Excellent Korean-Chinese dishes!
I dined in this restaurant once before the covid. The food was good and the portion was enough. However I was disappointed today. These two items on the menu gave wrong information. The noodle took only about four bites, which was not normal like you dined in. Also, the guy helped to order did not give me kindness and patience. He also made me feel that he only wanted to serve Korean customers. Won’t come again!!
One of the best places to eat during COVID. They have set up five or six tables in their own parking yard so you can takeout your meal and dine outside. The food was great as well!
Food and service is always consistently above average here. They also dont use MSG here, which is amazing.Highly recommend black bean noodles with special sauce and spicey seafood noodle soup. Fried rice and crispy pork, shrimp or chicken are great choices too.
They offer great selection for Korean Americans and the food are just like the Chinese Korean Food tjat Koreans are used to back home. Their entree and large dishes are generally excellent. Although Ive not tried all of their dishes, I must have tried at least 20 or 25 of them and they are all delicious. Yes, there are good restaurants in Flushing but not many that I can say the same.
Good food but poor service. Waitress pushing me to order quickly, gives check without clearing table, i felt waitress avoided my table because i wasnt Chinese or Korean.Hope one day the owner of this restaurant see this post and bring changes. 12/29/19 6pm
Trash restaurant has nothing to eat it’s stinks
Let me just say that I am half Chinese and have eaten here before and thought this place was good. It has been years though since i came back and oh boy what a change it has been since then. The food had no taste at all and the service is bad as well. I understand that they are Korean cooking Chinese food so maybe they prefer it this way, so ill leave it at that. But the service..., oh my goodness. They would not take out the 4 giant empty serving plates at our table, no serving spoons on food plates ordered. They do not refill the hot tea pitcher. They serve 1 of the soup bowls we ordered and i guess expect us to serve the other. They leave new plates at the side of the table for desert, but not distribute them nor take out the old plates so our table is filled with old plates. Horrid, horrid, horrid. By the way, special mention on the fried beef- dont order it, absolutely no taste. What a waste.
Not a huge fan wanted to try the “black bean noodles” it had no flavor the noodles tasted like ramen. We had an issues with one of items we wanted to exchange it or take it back but the owner was a little rude. So we had to pay for something we didn’t eat.UPDATE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME RESEARCH AND FIND BETTER KOREAN FOOD!!!!!Sb:20.99 for the chicken we didn’t eat( my friend ate one piece and disliked it)
The quality of service and food has been decreased over the years. A lot of people from the Korean communities knew this place was not up to par.Recently, I had to visit this place. The reviews have been updated and the food quality has gone up. The service has gotten better.I would say a significant improvement since 2007 - last time I visited.
Ive been eating here since middle school and over the years I have noticed that taste is consistent for the most part but the manager/owner has no understanding of customer service. He needs to change his attitude.Best dishes - noodles with sea food brown sauce, noodles with sea food soup, noodles with crabs chop suey soup, sea food fried rice, rice with mixed sea food, fried crabs with spicy sauce, and mixed vegetables/pork /starch noodles. Their tangsooyook not worth getting - too little care in how they put together this dish when in Korea its a signature dish in any Korean/Chinese restaurant. meat not even seasoned.update 3/6/2020 - tangsooyook worse and worse. tastes like oily sponge. not crispy at all and broccoli in the sauce might as well be raw. never ordering again. also their fried dumplings terrible- instead of crispy, tough and chewy with very little filling. they dont even put in chives.
Strong Korean style Chinese dish served here with speedy service.
My wifes favorite category of food -- Korean-Chinese. It was the best all around Korean-Chinese I can remember. Everything was so spot on, and reasonably priced. Sweet and Sour pork was so flaky and flavor-full, jjajangmyeon was spot on, and champongs broth was, wow!
Highly underrated Jjajjangmyun place, potentially because of service. The tangsuyook is super crispy and I would suggest getting Kan Jjajjangmyun (it has more flavor than the normal Jjajjangmyun)
Ive come to this place for years now, the food is always good! Really nice for a group lunch and/or meeting! Service is always great as well, its worth a try if youd like to try a Korean-Chinese place!
This place never misses.. had the jjamjjamyun to get the best of both worlds. Cant name a better noodle place in NJ/NY
Wow. I havent been here in like 10 years (I always order delivery)When did they get so fancy?I had their Jjajangmyun (good) the spicy pepper and steak (good) the clams with noodles (great) and dumplings (awesome very hot I burnt the roof of my mouth had to recoup and ate all the other dumplings)This place is like an institution now its been around so long. If you havent been in a whilr go check it out again.
Decent food, prices are fair but they have been getting smaller (portion wise). Still good Korean Chinese food.
My favorite place to eat the black noodle in the entire NYC. The seafood noodle soup is also a favorite however, I tried their Lunch Set today for the first time. AVOID IT! The black noodle in the lunch set is old, clumpy and mushy. I was in a state of disbelief. I am still shock writing this. What are they thinking slumming the quality of their food from a five star noodle to one? Why would anyone gamble their reputation like this?
I came here once about 5 years ago and I really liked it. I remember getting the sweet and sour fried pork and jjajangmyun and it was amazing. I came here a second time yesterday and I got the seafood jjajangmyun and I still really liked it. I got it to go and it was packaged very nicely. It came with kimchi, yellow radish, onions and another sauce that I couldnt identify. The noodles and the seafood special brown sauce was packaged separate so the noodles wouldnt get soggy. The jjajanmyun was delicious and super filling that I couldnt even finish it. Overall, this is a good place for lunch or dinner. Its next to the bus stops right on Northern Blvd. and Parsons so its very convenient. The ladies who work there are also very nice. Ill be looking forward to the next time I come here!
Do not come here! They have cockroaches! Waitress was so rude. She said sorry. And that’s it. Then she mentioned they did pest control. So what.. obviously they don’t want to spend that much money on it... at least they shouldn’t have cockroaches climbing on the table! So disgusting!
Really pricy.but food is sex worth it. Ordered one main beef plate, 2 black noodles, 1 fried rice. The total was 51 something but I guess it was worth it. Especially tang.su.yook its beef plate but really delicious.
TIP: Do not park in the lot!Last time I order for pick up. In and out only for a few minute, someone tow my van.If you do come here and eat, be very careful in parking in their lot. There are people often waiting in their car watching you.
Really good Korean take out satisfies your cravings. A great place for a date, getting together with friends or even visiting and eating by yourself. Menu is simple and everything is delicious.
Absolutely love this place for their fried beef and their black bean noodles. My go-to Korean spot for black bean noodles when Im in the area.
One of the worst Korean-Chinese I have had
Hey, its a good restaurant. Following covid regulations and still serving food. Although were not allowed to eat inside i get it its covid. But still otherwise great customer service and food 👍
Really great black bean noodles at sub-ktown prices! Try the jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk
Growing up this was the spot that my family would come to for family gatherings. A lot has changed since then and not all for the better. They updated the decor significantly and made it look at lot more modern. At the same time the theme doesnt particularly tailor towards a particular theme.This place has never had good jjajangmyun but their jjambbong and kanpoong shrimp were always the bomb. I ordered the first and the latter yesterday and was extremely disappointed. The jjajangmyun was under salted and the noodles were overcooked. In addition, the shrimp had a not so fresh taste that permeated my palette. I didnt even deign to finish my plate and left unsatisfied.I understand that there are independence movement festivities going on but allowing a whole troupe of drum and instrument players to walk around the restaurant while Im trying to enjoy my meal? I was frustrated at how I couldnt talk to my friend. The ambience was ruined and my meal experience was exacerbated by my inability to converse.
Jampong is mild in flavor and barely spicyJaijernmeng is okBoth were loaded with onion
Amazing place to eat, most of their food is nice, not a fan of everything. Excellent and friendly staff.However, I decided to knock down a star due to some food lacking quality and flavor and ask the tacky new decor I miss the grand old decor
Spicy seafood noodle soup was good. Not sure they are on top of the competition. Fried shrimp was okay. They have their own parking lot.
Parking not bad, food and service were good and great for the price.
When I first started eating Korean Chinese 30+ years ago this location was it , and then I moved to Long Island and they opened their location in Bayside and took this locations chef I went there. Last Wednesday 7/27 I ate at the Bayside location and found the basic foods lacking, I came back to this location and food the dishes much better than Bayside location. So now I will have to travel further into Queens from Long Island after 30+ years. Sigh...back to square one.
Favorite Korean style Chinese restaurant in nearby area. The black bean sauce noodle is the best. Place is clean and spacious.
Ive always had a great experience here. Great Korean food, great service, its clean, and theres parking (with a valet) which are the 4 criteria I look for in a restaurant.
Water is not refill until when we ask for the check. Tangsuyuk sauce is too sweet, Jjambbong taste like ramen. Not a good experience...
This place has been losing its popularity with other Korean-Chinese restaurants popping up in Flushing/Bayside but I still like the flavor of the main staple dish, jajangmyun and jampong. Thats what keeps me coming back.
Black bean noodle with vegetable was in best of its texture and flavor. The price with tax was $ 9.99, which was definitely worth it for such a huge portion.
No one else compares. Place is the best for Korean Chinese food. Period.
Pretty good. Food was great, price was great, and the place was clean and big. The only problem was that they screwed up our order a bit, but the staff were cool about it. Overall, it was a great restaurant.
The food was very good and atmosphere was great. The Price is very reasonable.
The only thing we feel ok was the corn soup (and the fortune cookies), any other dishes just make customers losing appetite. Having too much money and trying to lose weight? Then here is the place for u.
This place has the best jjajangmyun ever, period. And I am including all the hyundres of different jjajangmyun places I triend in Korea, LA, and NY, combined.
Lunch special is awesome. Jja jang myun, sweet and sour (or spicy) chicken, salad, mandoo.. great value and even better quality
Sometimes visiting this place when I want to eat korean style chinese food. The taste for every dishes is good
Have to trvel NY more frequently just to eat at this restaurant! Very reasonable price. Real Korean flavor!
Food is always fresh, you can tell them that youre on your lunch break and they will service you extra quickly, with a smile. I frequent here because of it and the staff are friendly.
Nice food but tables are sticky so dont touch it
Great food for the price
Not bad, Service also quick and kind.The price little bit higher than other chinese food places.
Always good korean food here. parents have been taking me since i was a kid and i still go as an adult now
Its a neighborhood goto place....
Food was delicious but service was bad.Non korean employees were nice and okay,but korean employees were little unfriendly and spoiled.
Decent restaurant with Koreanized Chinese cuisine.
OMGosh. This place is amazing. The 짬뽕 reminded of being in Korea all over again. Great prices, great food, great service.
Everything is decent, one of the top places to eat black bean noodle in Queens. Price is pretty decent.
Love the Jjajangmyun. One of the best Korean Chinese restaurant in the town. Tang sooyuk was good as well.
I love the lunch special, I can finally eat the meal I see on every k drama.
Good food and good service. The food is a bit pricey, but thats the only downside.
Great Jjajangmyun, clean and fast, I can tell they dont offer artificial condiments, very tasty
Really good Korean/Chinese food. I dont know why I dont come here more often.
Their chili shrimp is better than other korean-chinese restaurants
My favorite korean Chinese restaurant in Flushing. Fast service. Limited valet parking.
Today I was there. Foods are good and not busy. It was simple.
The seafood tofu soup with chop suey and rice is soooo good.
Good Chinese food but korean style.Very good noodles serve here.
The guy front is the worst one Ive ever met. Impossible to find or feel kindness.
Very good and reasonably priced Korean style Chinese food. Free valet parking.
Fam and I Been eating here for 30+ years 😍

Authentic Chinese and Korean food, nice private parking lot.
The food was great and came pretty quickly. Service was not the best.

A Korean-style Chinese restaurant that guarantees its own taste in Flushing. On a cold day after snowing, Jjamppong is perfect. Plus sweet and sour pork... But the price is cheap compared to the quality.
I order beef Jajang Myun because I have an allergy to pork.I have been going to this restaurant for nearly 30 years since they were in Elmhurst.I never had a problem but today, they got me pork jjajangmyeon and I called to get exchanged and told them I have an allergy. They said they sent me beef and they wouldnt care if I get an allergic reaction after I eat this.How great service. I upload a photo of what they sent me. It is PORK. This does not look like a diced beef. I even asked my son to taste them. I would do anything and everything to let them learn how to deal with customers medical matter instead of telling customer. What if I get an allergy reaction and go to hospital? Doesnt matter for us. This is what this guy said.I am a customer who loved Samwongak. I have an allergy, so I only order uni jjajang, but today they sent pork jjajang. If you said you sent it by mistake, I wont be so upset. I explained my allergy to the person answering the phone, but he said it doesnt matter. Whether to go to the hospital or not. They said it doesnt matter because they sent me a uni-jjajang, but do you see the photos I took? Do you see that jjajang with ground beef? Anyone can see that the chunks of meat are rotten. Im going to take it back, but Im too scared to write a public post. Im posting it because the words to bring it back are meaningless and the words that it doesnt matter are meaningless. Its a situation that can be dangerous if it gets into a persons mouth, but thats not to say that it doesnt matter. I insisted on only the Flushing Samwongak, but the customers know better than anyone about the foods I ate. Man who answered the phone You are in the business of serving food that goes into peoples mouths. Isnt it too much to spit out nonsense like that? What if I eat this and go to the hospital? We dont care.
Samwongak with the word Korean written on itSamwongak is right next to Noonas shopDelicious Chinese food
I miss you. Ive been going since a long time ago when I was in Elmhurst. After bowling at the Korean Ace Bowling Alley next to it, I went there a lot. Even then, I really enjoyed it.
가까워서 자주 갔었는데 탕수육은 맛있는데 늘 짜장면에 고기는 거의 마이크로 수준 양파만 잔뜩...아쉽
The pickled radish from Flushing Samwongak has a lot of foreign matter on it. Isnt it necessary to pay attention to hygiene more than anything in these days? I found it after eating some already. I feel really unpleasant.When you eat, check carefully the condition of pickled radish. Foreign matter is also foreign matter, but pickled radish is not fresh and dry.
This is a Korean-style Chinese restaurant with good lunch specials and special menus.
All in all, its delicious. Delivery can be disappointing, so go eat it!

2022-06-13This place has very good quality Korean Chinese food with reasonable prices.I drove all the way from Boston to for my kids to experience the real Korean Chinese food and my two boys loved it.The prices of each dishes were reasonable too.Parking was very easy as the place has own parking spots on the rear side of the building.Employees seem nice and efficient to serve customers.Our family will visit this place again.

2022-04-20Great service and great food!My family and I enjoyed the tangsooyook, jahjangmyun, and jampong. Nice that they have parking available and clean bathrooms.

2021-08-20I ordered the Noodles with Vegetable Brown Sauce (vegetable jjajamyeon) and it exceeded my expectations! It had great flavor and the portion of food was so big. I ate around 3:30pm and I write this at 8pm still full! The vegetables tasted and felt so fresh as if they were just harvested. The noodles were nice and chewy. A great quality dish for just $10.99.Once I sat down in my seat, I was given water immediately and side dishes. I’ve had kimchi before and hated it, but the kimchi in this restaurant is amazing and I’m in love with their pickled radish that goes so well with the black bean sauce.My vegetable jjajamyeon came out only around 7 minutes after ordering! So quick for such good food!My server smiled and replied with “kamsahamnida” after my non-Korean self shyly thanked her with the same word. I felt confident and encouraged after seeing her smile.Proof of vaccination is required to be seated and served which is great since they care about the well being of their customers and employees.I definitely recommend this restaurant. I will be coming back!

2022-05-29I had the spicy pork jajangmyeon. That dish was SPICY. I’m Mexican and I eat spicy food but that was one of the spiciest meals of my life. It was delicious and a big portion. The kimchi was very tasty too. If you don’t eat spicy food stay away from anything that says spicy 😆

2022-03-29We ordered four of main dished and one to share. Order came out the different one than what we ordered.
Review №7
2020-09-27A lot of the dishes we wanted to order were not available and the dishes that we did get to order were lacking in flavor. They have a lot of seating for outdoor dining so its good for groups at least and they have a parking lot.

2022-05-04My go-to place in the city for Korean Chinese food, especially for their jjamppong. Jjajangmyeon is simarly well made at other places but havent found a better place for jjaampong--pleasantly spicy and savory--after trying many other places for Korean chinese.
Review №9
2020-06-14Sam Won Gahk offers so many items at a very decent and low price. I come here all the time and the people are super friendly. The specials are definitely a steal!! I love the Jajangmyun with sweet and sour chicken. I would recommend this restaurant 100%!

2017-01-22Amazing mix of both traditional Korean and Chinese food. Nice decor and casual with beer and soju. The price is inexpensive and good serving sizes are very good.
