“ Kum Sung is a solid KBBQ experience overall. I had never had Korean-style duck before, so it was a nice change from standard beef/pork. The duck tasted leaner than other forms of duck I've had, but it was flavorful and pretty tender. We also got the garlic samgyupsal, which was decent; however, the garlic marinade didn't really add much to the meat, and it basically just burned off and got stuck on the grill. The daenjang jigae was tasty, and I loved that they brought out a special side of marinated crab with the other banchan. The service was great. ”

“ We walked in and were seated quickly. The menu had a lot of good bbq options as well as soup and cold noodle dishes. We ordered the haemul kalguksu and sul-leung tang. Immediately after ordering the server brought over lots of banchan which was nice. There was salt, pepper, and a spice on the table to adjust your dish to your liking. Sul-Leung tang was very simple flavor wise but the noodles were well cooked and it was an enjoyable dish that felt good for you. The haemul kalguksu was a little spicy and well flavored with bouncy, more chewy noodles. In addition to the banchan served at the start of the meal we also received 2 small yogurt drinks with the bill. The interior is clean with no frills decor. There is only one individual bathroom but it's clean and spacious. Overall well worth it! ”

“ I came here for the duck bbq. It seems to be a healthier fat alternative to pork belly. This place did not disappoint for the price, service, quantity, and location. I did notice everything had more salt, including the side dishes, than I am accustomed to having, which kept me from having more. Trying to be a little more health and salt conscious these days. ”

“ Such a nice and cozy restaurant - service was fast and great; our server was super nice and honest. Serving size was perfect for two people and all the food was delicious !! A great variety of banchan, and the quality of each one was amazing. I can't wait to come back for more again (: ”

“ Seriously, the best duck BBQ in New York, no competition. The side dishes (ban chan) are incredibly delicious! Honestly, I could just come here for ban chan! ”

“ I came to Kum Sung BBQ because I wanted to try Korean style raw marinated crabs for the first time. My friend convinced me to order the Naengmyun + LA Galbi combo as well because she said the restaurant is known for their cold noodles. She ordered the Sunji Haejang Guk because she likes hot soups mixed with rice. The blue crabs tasted fresh, so it paired nicely with the rice, but due to the soy sauce marinate it was definitely on the salty side. The Naengmyun was super chewy and the broth was a mixture of sweet, tangy, savory. Delicious! I was given vinegar and Korean mustard on the side to add to my liking. My friend said the Sunji Haejang Guk (ox blood with pieces of beer and vegetables in beef broth) was light and she liked how they provide spice on the side so customers can adjust per preference. Other than the dishes we ordered, we were provided with an abundance of bonchon (side dishes). I enjoyed the variety and how traditional the side dishes are (as opposed to just kimchi or picked radish that more modern Korean places give). This is more of a traditional Korean restaurant and the staff was very nice. My friend spoke Korean to the staff, but they made sure to explain and made me feel included. Haha. ”

“ Fresh and satisfying local Korean food! Lots of yummy sides. To end the meal, you give you a free yogurt drink. ”

“ This was excellent. We came with a group of three and ordered a lot -- duck BBQ (we liked the marinated the best), cold noodles, fish roe soup, dumplings, and spicy pork, to name a few. The cold noodles were really excellent, and we loved the spicy pork as well. I also really liked the broth with the fish roe soup. The banchan here is also very generous and very, very good. Glad we made the trip out. ”
