Just okay food. I got the lunch special there a few times. I tried the yookgaejang (spicy beef stew) and spicy chicken stew. It's actually pretty spicy, but I liked it. They give a big amount of rice which is a plus, and they give a variety of side dishes. Good typical Korean food.
UPDATE
You must try their naengmyun (cold broth noodle) and bibimmyun (cold sauce noodle?) It's delicious.
My experience at Su Ra Chung was just, wow! My party of friends and I felt like we just entered a Korean mom's home. We were well taken care from the moment we walked in the door. Warm welcomes from the owner and her staff. We were seated immediately and poured each of us a cup of brown rice tea, just the perfect warm-me-up drink after a whole weekend playing in snow (snowboarding). It is a small restaurant but super cozy.
My party ordered a handful of dishes such as the marinated galbi and pork belly for the barbecue grill. We also got duck meat, spicy stir-fry squid with udon noodles, and kimchi ji-gae. After ordering, banchans of kimchi, broccoli, tofu, pumpkin, spinach, bean sprouts, and etc. filled our table along with two claypots of the soybean paste stew that comes with barbecue.
Barbecue meats were indeed really delicious especially off of their infamous crystal grill. There is a burner that heats up the crystal grill as the meats are cooking on top of it. It is slated so that the liquid fat drips into a compartment on the table. What a creative way to be a little more healthier!
Another spot light is the Spicy Stir-fry Squid with Udon Noodles. I was super impressed with the tender texture of the squid. Red chili pepper sauce was on point, it is just the perfect spicy level!
Last but not least, soybean paste stew. Yes, it was a freebie but they did not slack off! Dices of green hot pepper, tofu, cucumbers, and mushrooms filled the stew. I now declare that their soybean paste stew is the best I ever had!
Owner and staff was super generous. We had seven people in our party and they were kind enough to portion each dish for each of us. This is going above and beyond of regular service level at any Asian restaurants I have ever been to. Super impressed!
When this placed opened up, I LOVED coming here. Now, the food lacks the love! What happened?!
The owner was very sweet and the waitresses were very attentive. I guess that's what happens when you first open up..
The food isn't that great anymore.
This is always my go to place for Korean food in New York. They have amazing customer service and the feel is very family like since the employees are asking if you want side dishes refilled and if you need anything else. I have tried the Kimchi Jigae here as well as the Spicy Beef Rib soup. Those are certainly my two favorite soups. The Dak Galbi is amazing here too. Spicy and moist chicken cooked with cabbage.. You can't go wrong with that. They also make fried rice with the remaining spicy sauce after you finish eating the Dak Galbi. This is the place to go to when you are craving some Korean food with a warm staff. Only minor minor drawback is that they seem to be less attentive when you are alone and not with a group. Otherwise, I love the food here.
After a weekend of snowboarding, my friends and I decided to try this restaurant out since it's been on my bookmarks. This place was very pleasant and homely. The owner was very friendly and generous. She would also , personally serve or cook the food in front of us.
We had 7 people so we ordered a good amount of dishes. This included the spicy squid with noodles, kimchi jiggae, duck meat slices mixed in veges, and 2 bbq meats. The 2 bbq meats we chose were 2 orders of galbi and 1 order of pork belly.
The bbq meats came with a soybean Claypot soup which was amazing. It was perfect for the cold breezy weather. The bbq meats were cooked in front of us on a slanted crystal grill. The crystal grill is known to be a healthier choice than your normal metal grill. The crystal grill was placed on a portable stove on a slant which allowed all the fats to drip down. The nice lady also added an extra slices of pork belly free of charge since she saw that we had so many people. She also added some a cold marinated crab banchan for us to try. The squid with noodles and stir fried duck slices were both spicy but a very enjoyable. Also, we ordered the red bean rice which goes very well the dishes. Lastly, they gave us a Yukult drink for dessert.
Overall, this is definately a place I'd come back to for korean bbq. The waitress and owners were very attentive and amiable. They were very proactive with the service and offered many freebies.
I may have found my new go-to place for Yukejang. After the college point Assi plaza closed down, I went on the hunt for good yukejang, but no one can match what that old grandma/grandpa couple made in Assi plaza. Still, no one can beat it, but FINALLY, ALAS Su Ra Chung comes close! The lunch special is EXCELLENT and the prices are amazing! I used to think Hahm Ji Bach was the end all be all of korean food, but I've found a nice new little alternative!
Folks, don't come here for 5 star ambiance or take a date here for an anniversary (unless there's some sentimental value) or take your in-laws here for a "meet the fockers" dinner. It's one stop short of a "hole-in-the-wall" (on the better side 🙂
The service is pretty good and they're quite attentive, but who cares when the food is so delicious. YUMS! Can't wait to go back.
Got my dak galbi cherry popped today. I know, I've been deprived. Felt shameful when the lady serving us was like, "You Korean and you never eat dak galbi?!" Okay, but apparently there aren't too many places that have dak galbi on their BBQ menu…
So you uncultured Korean American folks like me out there, try the dak galbi here at Su Ra Chung. It comes with tender, juicy pieces of chicken with dduk, sweet potatoes and cabbage, in spicy gochujang sauce. Don't forget to ask for the rice at the end because honestly, I thought that was the best part.
Tip: ask for 2 servings, otherwise it'll come out already cooked/prepared.
Another great restaurant in Flushing. Came here craving dak (chicken) galbi. It is a great family style meal. The four of us ordered three portions where they still have us 4 portions due to a promotion they're having they said. It's cooked in a huge pot full of chicken, vegetables, and rice cakes all mixed with a spicy sauce. It's an eye pleaser to have it in front of you still cooking and getting better and better as you eat. The best part is when you're done, they make fried rice for you with the remaining sauce in the pan. YUMMY!
The waitresses here are full of Korean warmth and humor! The side dishes are plenty so you won't be disappointed! Other dishes looked good here too but highly recommend eating the dak galbi here with some friends~ We certainly enjoyed it 🙂
