New York King - FLUSHING

I recommend looking for another restaurant. Choose a place that values your patronage. The customer service at the front desk was quite disappointing.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant today. We tried the shrimp and vegetable porridge along with the spicy squid hot stone bibimbap, and both dishes were outstanding. The side dishes were perfectly chopped, making them ideal for mixing into the porridge. I also enjoyed an excellent pumpkin drink that wasn't sweet at all. The service was fantastic. I will definitely be adding this spot to my regular dining rotation!

I was buying the food from my mom so I don't know how it tastes but service was great.

I returned for the third time and tried the Cheese Katsu and the Bulgogi Octopus Porridge. Both dishes were enjoyable, although I found the porridge to be a bit expensive.

This is my go to restaurant if I ever feel sick and need some warming, soothing congee to feel better. After binging on too much Korean BBQ, I am a big fan of eating the right food the few days to help with illness. Bonjuk has saved me many times.Food: The Korean style congee is thicker and has more numerous versions than I have seen in Cantonese restaurants. I recommend getting the Octopus Kimchi for something with a little spicy, fermented tang. The Salmon or Tuna Congee is great if you want something lighter but still savory. They also have sweet dessert like congees such as pumpkin which is really good. I am smiling even as I write this review because I feel so warmed inside just thinking about the food.They have renovated not so long ago and now also include Bibimbap, both regular and also in a Stone Pot. There are also some Kastu dishes on their menu. I am glad they are expanding and giving some more options. I have the expectation that those dishes will be just as healthy as their congee, but if its your first time, just order the Congee.Worth a mention is also their Mung-bean blended cold drink. It can be a little sweeter than I expect sometimes, but it is a delicious cold accompaniment to the hot congee that you eat.Price wise, they do lean more expensive than your typical lunch and for dinner, it may not fill you up as much if you are looking for more food. However, they are really the only Korean Congee game in town. If you want authenticity and good Korean comfort food, Bonjuk is worth the visit.Parking: There are parking spaces right in front of the restaurant that can be paid for at the local meter. Metered parking can also be found all along Northern Blvd.
