Midang Restaurant

Only Korean Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. Jajangmyun is good, though IMHO a couple bucks overpriced. Good hangover food. Lots of carbo. Side dishes are minimal, but get the job done. An ajumma at the front and some latino dudes cooking it all up in the back. But it is cool because they eat the stuff too. Delivery guy came back while we were eating, and tucked in to a huge bowl of jajangmyun in the corner. Only in the USA!

This restaurant is nothing special in the first place, and somewhat pricey for the neighborhood and quality. Then they played bait and switch on us. They overcharged us, then brought out a completely different paper menu when we called them out, then flat out denied it.

The jjajangmyun is so freaking good! This the only spot I know close to my area that sells it. The owner is very nice and they have good prices here. The lady that works there is always so nice to me she reminds me of my aunt. Highly recommended. Their English isn’t too good so I recommend bringing someone that speaks Korean.

I love the black bean sause noodles!!! Omgosh I have wanted to try it since watching the Korean drama Heirs because one of the characters ate it all the time. I was always so curious of the flavors! It is delightful. I love the type of noodles they used. It is a very filling dish but so worth eating every bite. My friend got the spicy tofu dish and that was cooked to perfection. The tofu was amazing and the sause was a milt spicy which was perfect to me. I can see myself coming back to eat both dishes again. But I would love to see what else I enjoy on the menu. The lady who works there is so sweet and they are very fast with their service which I love. The atmosphere is very casual and it is a great discovery in the Elmhurst/​woodside area.

Dishes: Ganjajang and Jiamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup)
Great place for great comfort food. The Jiamppong is a must have. Perfect spice level and good assortment of veggies, fungi, and seafood. The broth is fantastic.
If you’re in Jackson Heights, stop by.

By far this is the only Korean Chinese restaurant in New York. It’s small and cash only, and closes on Mondays. Food is OK, I love the kappunggi a lot.
The owner is a very sweet lady but the orders come a little slow.

If u r the neighbor in Jackson heights, you should try this place. Best Korean Chinese restaurant.

I come here to satisfy my spicy seafood noodle soup, noodles with black bean sauce, and sweet and sour pork cravings. The granny that runs the restaurant gives out complimentary fried kimchi dumplings now during your meal. It’s usually pretty slow and not crowded but I hope they stay open for a long time. Midang is one of the few restaurants I can say «I’ve been coming here for over 10 years.»

Midang fills my jajangmyun, jjampong, and tangsuyuk cravings. The only korean– chinese restuarant in the neighborhood of Elmhurst. The next to best when not venturing into K– town midtown or Flushing. Not a sprucey place, more like a mom and pops type of restuarant, clean, and the price is right with nice portions. In addition, the ajummah is a sweet lady.

Thanksgiving night, almost everything closed, suddenly i see a light, and there I was ordering the jajangmyun… Good portion, cant go wrong at $ 6.50. Came with the pickled radish and kimchee.
The best part is the lady there, she is so nice, greeted me and asked to sit down and have a look at the menu. I dont get that often, especially when they see you are not native.

No frills hole in the wall Korean Chinese restaurant specializing in Jjajjangmyun (Noodles w/​black bean sauce) and Jjambbong (Noodles in spicy seafood soup). While not fair to compare this establishment to those in Flushing or even Manhattan’s K-​town, this is my goto spot when I’m craving this type of fare while in western Queens. The food is average but it gets the job done.
A plus is that a nice old lady who could easily be your grandma «halmuhnee» runs this joint w one cook and a delivery boy. This equals great service along with being impeccably clean for such a small mom and pop. The prices are also cheap and representative of the area.
So if you’re in the neighborhood and craving this type of fare, go and support this local hole in the wall!

Nothing amazing, and you can definitely get better jajangmyun elsewhere, but it’s a clean, quiet restaurant owned by a kind elderly lady.
Portions are huge, and the nice waitress (and only waitress) is very attentive.

Another pretty good but not great Korean-​Chinese restaurant. Again, I’m not an expert, but here’s the rundown: We got the jja jang myun and the kkanpunggi (I think that was what the second one was — chicken with hot pepper sauce). I should’ve gotten the tangsugi (sweet & sour chicken) to compare with that of the Chu Ying, that other Korean-​Chinese place in Woodside.
The jja jang myun was okay; to be honest, I liked the jja jang myun sauce better at Friend’s, that new place on Roosevelt Ave. But the noodles were definitely better at Midang.
Some things about this place are noteworthy:
1. The service was great; you get hot tea the second you sit down, and us & another table were given some mandu on the house.
2. The place was CLEAN. I even traveled to the basement to wash my hands in the bathroom & it wasn’t scary at all. Well, it’s still an nyc restaurant, but I was really impressed.
3. The restaurant itself wasn’t too busy, but the phone was ringing off the hook. It sounded like everyone was ordering jjamppong. Maybe that’s what they’re best at.
To sum up: they’re conveniently located and do an okay job if you’re having a craving. I’m not an expert, but I’m beginning to think that to get really, really good Korean-​Chinese food, a bit of traveling might be in order (to Flushing or – more likely — someplace like Fort Lee).
