San Soo Kap San Korean Restaurant

New York City has the second-largest population of ethnic Koreans outside Korea, and the Korean community in Queens is growing every day. So, to be a Korean restaurant of note in Queens, you must be good! And San Soo Kap San in Flushing is even better, with over 20 years of offering authentic Korean dishes alongside some of the best Korean BBQ in town. As one customer said, "Food and service are that awesome! Anyone visiting Flushing, New York, I highly recommend this restaurant!"

The name San Soo Kap San derives its meaning from an ancient phrase that describes an idyllic location in the mountainous lands of the Korean countryside. The dining experience matches the name, from a wide variety of Korean BBQ to delicious seafood pancakes, fresh sushi, and the complementary steamed egg in a clay pot. The menu contains traditional Korean dishes like Bibimbap (rice and sautéed vegetables) and Bulgogi (thin slices of marinated grilled beef). For the seafood lover, there are also options like octopus, squid, and raw crab. They even have organic goat, a specialty dish difficult to find elsewhere.

At San Soo Kap San, BBQ is prepared with the finest cut of prime beef and served on a special charcoal grill built right into your table. The meat is marinated with San Soo Kap San's secret mixture of soy sauce, sugar, chopped garlic, sesame oil, and pepper, among other ingredients. After hours of marination, it is ready to be served. As one diner said, "Tender, sweet, juicy, everything I adore in Korean BBQ…The piping hot Beef bibimbap was just the highlight of our night. So much meat and vegetables piled on neatly, and to top it off, perfectly cooked sunny side egg!"

Sushi is not a Korean dish, but it has become a food of choice throughout Asia and now the United States. To meet the tastes of the dining public, San Soo Kap San serves traditional sushi, sashimi, and nigari with a light swipe of wasabi and genuine soy sauce. They also serve "American" sushi: California rolls, spicy tuna rolls with sashimi-grade tuna tossed in sesame sauce, and spicy mayo for that extra oomph, all prepared by a master chef.

Moreover, their trilingual staff works hard to bring patrons the best-tasting Korean food around. One satisfied patron noted: "Service was well above par. We literally had an ajjuma standing over us the whole time, cooking and cutting everything for us. We kept asking for special items like garlic and oil and whatnot, and she didn't skip a beat…Six stars for service."

San Soo Kap San is open every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For reservations, call (718) 445-1165. For special offers and menu features, follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
