Chilsung Garden

"Have not been to many Korean BBQ restaurants and this one was recommended to me. We arrived without a reservation and were promptly seated. We were greeted with some warm green tea which was welcomed as it was very cold outside. We got the Prime Dry Aged Rib Eye Steak and Marinated Angus Beef Short Rib. With that we got the Pancake with Seafood and Scallion, the Noodle with Sautéed Beef & Vegetables, These 4 things we adored! We also got the Steam Shrimp Dumplings which I need to be tried more to get to like them more. The steaks were perfectly cooked by the waitress The service was fast and professional and as it was our first time at a Korean BBQ restaurant, we needed some instruction to what to do which we were kindly assisted. The only problem of the place was that it was slightly cold in the restaurant. Even the staff was wearing down vests but there might be a reason for this. I would have posted photos but I was too excited by the whole experience and simply forgot. Their web-sight gives an accurate portrayal of all the dishes. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance 4/5"

"One of the best Korean restaurants in Queens! Delicious, high-quality food with generous portions, tasty side dishes, and great service. Perfect for all kinds of Korean dishes and BBQ."

"This is my go to restaurant with my parents. We have never been disappointed coming here. My favorite lunch combo is the bulgogi with the cold noodles. Truly the perfect combination. As for the soups, my go to is always the 2 types of spicy beef soups. The bonchons are all delicious as well! I just wish they have kimbap was well, but hey, I would just get fatter haha!"

"Wanted to try a Korean BBQ close to where I live and this place was recommended by a friend. There were 4 of us and we went with one of the BBQ combo's. The waitress cooked the meat in an order in which they got better and better ending with the Chefs special marinated short rib. The pancake with scallions was a hit. Suprised they didnt have pork dumplings but the vegitable ones were better than most. The side were good as well, especially the soup. They gave us a choice of wine with the meal and we went with the Malbec which was average. Suprised they didnt have dessert, was looking foward to a nice green tea Mochi, but looks like they want to turn tables instead of having someone linger over coffee. Now having been there I would recommend it as well."

"The food was good and our go to BBQ where they fire the coals on a propane and coal system a little smoky so beware not to where your best outfits or your will smell of smoke. The kalbi was decent but a little expensive, we asked several times for refills on the side dishes our waitress was not happy. The portions seem smaller now on the chap che noodles. The ten side dishes appear average today, maybe the chef not here."

"First Time at Chilsung Garden – Now I Understand the Hype! After living in New York for 15 years, I finally visited Chilsung Garden for the first time. Now I see why everyone talks about it! We were seated within about three minutes of arriving, and as soon as we placed our order, the banchan (side dishes) started coming out. True to the reputation of Korean restaurants, the service was impressively fast. We ordered the fresh galbi and special galbi. When the charcoal grill arrived, I could tell it was the real deal—authentic charcoal that gave the meat an incredible smoky flavor. The beef was fresh, and the staff skillfully grilled it to perfection for us. More side dishes followed, including geotjeori (freshly seasoned kimchi), steamed egg, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and the highlight—freshly marinated spicy raw crab (yangnyeom gejang). While all the banchan were well-seasoned and delicious, the geotjeori was exceptionally good, and the yangnyeom gejang had the perfect level of spiciness. I don’t usually eat much rice, but I ended up finishing most of it because of the crab! For dessert, we ordered bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), and wow—it was so good that I’d come back just for the noodles. The service was excellent, with friendly staff and the ladies who grilled our meat doing an amazing job. It was a truly satisfying Saturday dinner, and now I understand why Chilsung Garden has remained a beloved spot for so long. Next time, I’ll have to try the stir-fried octopus (nakji bokkeum), as my friend highly recommended it!"
