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>
