http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ Talk about Korean food, recipes, restaurants, and cooking en Wed, 22 May 2013 12:00:10 +0000 http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hanover-cafe-right-field-corner-citifield-queens#post-3674 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:58:48 +0000 mint 3674@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>There is a small Korean food place in Citifield next time you go to the Mets game. We always get the Korean fried chicken (spicy, although they offer non spicy too). It's decent. It woudn't stand up to BonChon or KyoChon, but they are decent considering they have no competition. They also have a banchan/namul bar and will give you a bowl of rice and allow you to chose the banchan, kind of like bimbimbap. This is my assumption since I've never ordered it but it looks good. This is basically the healthy option. However, I suggest you just get two large orders of the chicken, extra spicy and lots of beer. If you are nice to the lady she might feel inclined to give you some samples of from the banchan/namul bar. This only happened to me once but it was very nice of her. There may be some other options (I'm thinking bul go ki dup bap, but I can't remember). Suffice it to say, there will be something to eat while you watch the Mets. It's also better than food offered in chamshil stadium when we went to see the Twins. They ran out of hot dogs and all the food came from GS25 or other chain restaurants. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/kumgangsan-flushing#post-1212 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 10:23:07 +0000 J0722 1212@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>last time I visited jangtuh was a year ago. I was thoroughly disappointed. That place did serve good food but that was ten years ago!</p> <p>kumgangsan is way over rated. That restaurant has been there for a long long time. they were in Zagat way before the other asian restaurants. So I'm guessing time and effort(in American-izing their staff and menu) put them on top. Aside from the occasional weddings I HAVE TO attend there I have stopped dining there. One evening while waiting for the valet guy to bring our car we noticed a big container of mi-won (msg) being used as a cigarette disposal by the main entrance. It must have been about three feet tall!(I was in heels) I refuse to pay all that money for food with msg in it!<br /> I would much rather make it myself. would definitely be able to make it at a fraction of their price and taste better too. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/kumgangsan-flushing#post-1047 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:01:54 +0000 Maangchi 1047@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <br /> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/kumgangsan-flushing#post-1046 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:30:34 +0000 powerplantop 1046@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>About three years ago once a week I would go to<br /> Jang Tuh Sutbulgui Inc‎ 13693 37th Ave, Flushing, NY‎. They used real charcoal and the Kalbi was great. But that was almost three years ago. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/kumgangsan-flushing#post-927 Sun, 17 May 2009 22:36:35 +0000 stanford 927@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>138-28 Northern Blvd., Flushing, Queens, USA<br /> <a href="http://www.kumgangsan.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kumgangsan.net/</a></p> <p>Maybe too many people had built up this restaurant for me. Everyone told me how great it was. So when I finally went, I was expecting it to be fantastic.</p> <p>I ordered their highest quality kalbi, I paid top dollar. But it was really just mediocre. If this were in Korea, I wouldn't give it a second look or a second visit, and there's no way I would pay USD $80 for what I got.</p> <p>There's a nice waterfall in here. The service is good. Banchan is nice. The staff speaks English and Korean. I get the feeling that a lot of the Korean clientele have been coming for years and it's kind of a family tradition.</p> <p>That's great for them, and I understand how much that means. But for me, there's nothing here to make me come back a second time. </p>
