“I love their kalbi gui(which is little too expensive in my opinion), kimchi jigae, spicy pork bbq and dol sot bibimbap.”
“I also have a soft spot for them because they introduced me to Kimchi Jigae.”
“Haewoondae has appetizer size jap chae, which is so convenient if you don't eat very much, and a very long list of delicious Korean soups.”

This is my first time having Korean food. The service was good. I had the BBQ Beef plate which came with a lot sides like rice, noodles and veggies. It was pretty good. The tea was good. The prices are decent also. This place is not fancy or anything but it is a good place for lunch or a quick dinner.
I feel like this place deserves a better rating. It is indeed my favorite neighborhood korean spot. Partially maybe because this is the only place that let's me order a seafood pancake without scallion 😀
Their complimentary side dish always fill the entire table and they often come in a good variety of veggie and fish. You can't go wrong with their kalbi and seafood tofu casserole. The portions here are always generous. I'm not Korean, but this place taste as close as it gets to home.
My favorite late night spot. I call, wait ten minutes, they have my food ready for pick up.
Kimchi jiage here is my go-to dish.
A blessing.
I went in with my friend and found it completely empty. Very surprising! It was lunch time around noon. Okay, maybe it was 12:20 pm on a weekend (Sunday, to be more precise). I thought it was kind of strange. Our bill came out to $30 which was expected and the jigae was nice. I wish that my bi bim bap came with bulgogi or kalbi. It was vegetarian and served with a fried egg sunny side style. Usually weekends are a-bustling with business, but I digress. One thing that I thought was unnerving was that it was hard to flag down the waitstaff to get a refill on water, extra plates, and retrieving the check. Only when we left did people start to come in hordes.
I love this restaurant. It is much better than the other Korean restaurant a blog away. Haewoondae has appetizer size jap chae, which is so convenient if you don't eat very much, and a very long list of delicious Korean soups. The servers here are always friendly to you too.

Decent Korean food on the Elmhurst/Jackson Heights border. There are about 2 other Korean establishments in the vicinity and honestly, I picked Hae Woon Dae because I came across it first on our evening stroll. It was pretty empty with only 1-2 other groups dining in.
They're pretty generous with the number of side dishes. I'm surprised it literally filled up most of the table just moments after we ordered. If I knew, we wouldn't have ordered so much food! The staff grilled our chicken and thin pork slices at our table on a portable grill. It's a little pricey ~$21 each (yet much cheaper than the beef). The chicken was on the dry side but tasted pretty good (and sweet) the next day after a trip in the microwave. We probably didn't need to order the beef bibimbap. For ~$14, it was mostly rice, egg, and veggies and again, dry. Asides from the BBQ pork, my favorite part of the meal was the cold ginger digestive juice at the end.
My experience at Chung Ki Wa was not particularly memorable so I decided to try Haewoondae…and I am very glad I did! Although this place is a bit rundown and dirty, the food here is so good. Our waitress was extremely busy but efficient and attentive, with lots of energy!
First off, they have AMAZING soup here! No idea what was in it or what it's called but it was delicious. I had BBQ with a group of 5 here and we surprisingly had a good amount of bbq meat provided for us. The kalbi and bulgogi were marinated really well and they were nice enough to even grill the bone for us because my dad loves chewing on it (he claims it's super savory and the best part~).
The marinated veggies for the banchan were delicious~ I can tell they make their own fresh kimchi. To top off our meal, they gave us watermelon too! Overall a good experience as I enjoyed all the food a lot. It's a bit expensive, but when is korean food not?
Been here once, the place was relatively empty. Service and food were mediocre–I didn't do the ordering.
I didn't have the most memorable experience, but I'm willing to give them another try.
