“ Food - 5/5 we got the galbi tang, ganjang gejang (soy marinated raw crabs) and broiled yellow croaker. Galbi tang was bomb, tasted like something that would come out of a Korean grandma's house. There was big chunks of fall of the bone galbi with the typical glass noodles. The crabs were super flavorful and not fishy. It went very well with a bowl of white rice. My favorite part of the meal was the broiled yellow croaker which was super flaky, seasoned just right and had a good char. Service - 5/5 the Korean grandmas were super friendly. They asked us to refill our kimchi and other banchan multiple times which is a plus. Ambiance - 4/5 typical mom and pops Korean restaurant look. Nothing crazy, but felt cozy and homey. ”
“ This underrated Korean restaurant is located in Flushing! The reason I found this place during our NYC trip was to try their raw marinated crab. It wasn't busy as we got seated right away. Cozy once you're inside and they have a wooden interior for their tables/chairs. $27 for 3 raw marinated crab! I was surprised because usually, that would be the price of one from the Bay Area. It came with great side dishes and seaweed soup to rinse your tastebuds. You have an option to choose white or purple rice. I was full after finishing one order of the soy raw marinated crab. The eggs were delicious (umami) and the meat was packed. Great quality! ”
“ Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner and the place was moderately busy with about half tables busy and the other free. Service was slow due to there only being one server so it took a bit to get our order in, but she was obviously doing her best so it seemed just like a lack of staff issue. The menu had a good selection of traditional Korean affair. My friend and I shared a few things, but I personally came just for the raw crab. It was okay, not spectacular but it did satisfy the craving. Everything else was good in portion and taste - it all definitely was very solid. Overall, I don't know if I would come back, but I thought the food was good. Nothing stood out, but I enjoyed the meal and thought it was a good experience! ”
“ We traveled 1.5 hr to come here for a Saturday lunch. I was shocked by how it wasn't busy - but hey, no wait for me I'll take it :D Myung San gives off a homey vibe. It doesn't have any insane interior decoration or plating, but who needs that when the flavors for everything is ON POINT. Our party of two ordered Someori Gukbap and soy marinated raw crabs, and it was perfect for two people. - Banchan: super tasty and full of variety! - Soy marinated raw crabs: super flavorful and a good amount for the cost! - Someori Gukbap: this is perhaps one of the best soup I've had for awhile. Super rich, super flavorful, and very meaty Overall, despite the long travel I still find it incredibly worth it. I would come back for all of these dishes again any day anytime. ”
“ Interesting soy sauce cold crab, spicy pork pairs well with the vegetable bibimbap. Galbi tan (non spicy soup) was good too and seafood pancake was ok, better with the sauce. There's a really strong smell when you walk in and not that many seats, pretty packed when I came over on the weekend for lunch Saturday. Good portion for 4 people. More like 3.5 stars and bumping it up to 4 since other people in my group like it. ”
“ Went on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait. I was craving for soy marinated crab and a friend recommended this place. I tried the soy marinated crab and enjoyed it. It was decently priced and they gave a good amount of crab! The crabs were a little salty but I'll be back to try the spicy marinated crab. ”
“ This homey Korean restaurant has a variety of items on their menu. We got seated pretty quickly and waitress was very nice and helpful. We ordered the soy marinated crab and the pork belly and intestines for kbbq. They cooked the pork belly and intestines for us which was nice since we didn't need to manage that ourselves. The pork belly was tender and crispy. The intestines were also delicious. I enjoyed the soy marinated crab but def want to come back and try the spicy version. And of course there was so much banchan all of which were delish and perfect with all the food. ”
“ Myungsan serves one of the best marinated raw crabs in Queens. The Gan hang gaejang are Raw crabs marinated in soy sauce. It wasn't overly salty or sweet. There were three crabs in total. I would highly recommend this dish. It was very fresh and delicious. The duck wasn't tender or juicy, I don't recommend it but the small intestines were delicious. The variety of side dishes was also amazing. What we ordered: Gan hang gaejang Duck Small intestines ”
“ *4.5/5 maybe Had an intense craving for raw marinated crab after seeing a million and one Tiktoks on the matter -- Myung San proved a worthy introduction to the dish. We went for the Yangyeom (spicy) version & ordered soondubu too & both of us walked away quite stuffed. Nice variety of tasty banchan. The soondubu was soft and delicious and had bits of seafood. The crab was a process to eat (they give you gloves and tools) & is piled high with spicy green onions -- these pair well with everything on the table and will make your nostrils burn. Service was friendly & most patrons were middle-aged/older Koreans, which automatically gives Myung San a stamp of approval. I would def return to try the soy sauce flavor, as I heard that lets the raw crab flavor shine thru. ”
“ Randomly stumbled upon this small restaurant with a picture of raw marinated crabs that have become so popular on social media. The restaurant only has 6 tables and is located next to the Broadway LIRR station. I originally called to make a reservation for a table of 2 because I heard it gets packed but there were empty tables. Spicy Raw Marinated Crabs - This dish came with 3 blue crabs with a spicy and sweet sauce . They were so delicious and had lots of roe. The crabs themselves were fresh and sweet. Like most reviews mentioned, the crabs were on the smaller side but they were meaty. I mixed the rice in the head and it was so creamy. LA Yangyum Kalbi - The short ribs were nicely grilled but slightly dry. There were only 6-7 pieces. Not a dish to rave about. Daegu Maeuntang - This is a spicy dish with codfish, bean sprouts, spinach and tofu. I asked the waiter for mild but it was still spicy. The flavor was on point though. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. There was a lot of banchan such as tofu, eggplant, kimchi, sweet potatoes, spinach and bean sprouts. The service was excellent. There was only one man working and he was the server, waiter and cashier. He was super sweet and friendly. ”
