Reviews for Jang Dok Dae in Queens, NY

Outstanding food. Both the seafood pancake and kimchi stew were the best versions of those dishes I have ever had. The seafood... pancake had a ridiculous amount of seafood and was crispy and well-charred. The kimchi stew was well-seasoned and had a sournote from the fermented kimchi. They also served multi grain rice with actual beans in it. Normally restaurants just give you adisappointing mix of 95% white rice and 5% black rice. I really think that the quality of the food here is noticeably betterthan even the other Korean restaurants in the Murray Hill area. Read more

Wow. Started off with the raw crab in soy marinade. The crabs were fresh, and the marinade really brought out the freshness of... the crab. Moved on to the ssam, or leafy vegetables, with the marinated chicken. The chicken was good, but the assortment ofamazingly fresh, clean, and pristine leaf wraps took the spotlight. Ended the meal with complimentary mochi/tiramisu/chocolatethingy, which were really unique. Easily one of the tastiest, cleanest meals in a very long time! Read more

Among varied definitions of culinary experience, this place caters to the notion of slow food with the finest care and... ingredients. Jang Dok Dae breathes the couple?s commitment to serving unpretentious authenticity in food - if we accept the termnot as the flavor, but as the quality specific to the purpose of the culinary creator. From the tomato salad (provided as acomplementary starter) to the side dishes (also complementary) to the main items we chose (grilled marinated Kalbi, braised cod,and Perilla seed knife cut noodles), we were treated with their respect and passion for ?honest? food. On a more specific note,Kalbi was tender with a hint of earthiness, satisfying our expectation of roasted meat. The braised cod was so tender and softthat it evoked the images of a marshmallow. Perilla seed knife cut noodles were packed with none other than ground perillaseeds, giving the broth the nutty and creamy fullness. Caveat: we were told that all knife cut noodles would be kept off themenu moving forward. Although unfortunate, they provide so many options that will keep your taste buds entertained. This placeembodies one of those restaurants you get to appreciate for the thoughts, efforts, and skills that go into its culinarycreations. In the city inundated with fine dining options, Jang Dok Dae still stands out on its own merits. A restaurant of thiscaliber serves to remind that there?s always a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Read more

Lovely cafe decor with authentic home cook Korean cuisine. Owners (a couple) themselves cook/prepare the entire menu and the... chef (husband) takes a pride in his cooking which reflects on the dishes. We were pleasantly surprised by quality of foodincluding appetizer and banchan. Only if this place was closer to us, we?d pick this place over Chodanggol in the city. Can?twait to go back and try other dishes Read more

We felt warm and home when we dined in at Jang Dok Dae. It's not only because of their decor but their hospitable & welcoming... service. The menu is not in a great variety compared to other Korean restaurants but most dishes are good. We had Anchovy Brothwith Vegetable Flaky noodle soup and Braised Oxtail. The food was amazingly delicious, especially the broth of flaky noodlesoup, flavorful but light. We also were impressed by how chewy the noodles were. Read more
