Super nice Korean Restaurant! I live far from the city and accompany a family member for their classes close to this place. We found it to be a good Korean restaurant for our first experience. The staff was very friendly, asking if we needed anything and letting us know they're here if we needed anything! The food like the corn cheese was sweet but delicious! (Sadly, we didn't take many pictures) Me and my aunt are definitely going back though ❤️

Just had an incredible dining experience at Sikgaek—and honestly, it’s now one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots in NYC!🔥 Located in Woodside, just minutes from Manhattan, this cozy gem has been serving up authentic Korean flavors since 2010. They’ve recently refreshed their menu (seafood is out, more K-BBQ goodness is in!) and the space is beautifully decorated with warm vibes and super friendly staff.✨ We went all in with the Sikgaek Prime Combo—featuring Prime Short Rib, Prime Ribeye, and Prime Brisket. The meats were so tender and flavorful, and the best part? The staff grills it all right at your table, so you can sit back and enjoy every sizzling bite.

I have now had the BBQ for lunch eat in, and the lunch special takeout. Good food—but never cheap. My takeout lunch was a combo of Kimchi jjigae and Spicy squid: as pictured. Ten years ago this might have been $16. Today it’s $26. Portions are conservative. It’s probably just the nature of today’s economy. The quality is high. Premium fresh ingredients are well-prepared. Big, fresh ginger, garlic & chili flavors abound.

Sik Geek BBQ Restaurant is hands down one of the finest Korean BBQ spots I’ve visited to date. Service: Exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our dining experience. 5/5 Atmosphere: Cozy yet vibrant—authentically Korean and thoughtfully arranged. A great place to enjoy a laid-back meal or a fun gathering with friends. 5/5 Food Highlights: • Crispy Calamari: A personal favorite of mine and a dish I always try if it’s on the menu. Sik Geik did not disappoint—the calamari was well-cooked and paired wonderfully with the accompanying sauce. 4/5 • Seafood Pancake: A hearty fusion of various seafoods enveloped in a crisp pancake. Best enjoyed hot. 4/5 • Pork Combo BBQ: Arguably one of the best BBQ experiences I’ve had. The meat was flavorful and perfectly grilled. The combo came with a delicious soybean stew—rich in flavor with tofu, zucchini, and the right blend of spices. The assortment of side dishes complemented the meal beautifully. Overall: An excellent spot to enjoy authentic Korean BBQ with quality food and top-notch service. I would absolutely recommend making a reservation in advance, as this place tends to fill up quickly.

Looks like a very interesting authentic Korean Restaurant. The price stopped me from entering. I know Korean food can be pricey but this place has the price of Manhattan Korean Restaurants. I was expecting Queens price so I stopped by after a recommendation from friends. Looks like a nice place.

I was there on a weekend date - we chose the couple’s grill and it was over $150 with tax and tips. We left not full and I think it wasn’t enough for two who can eat. Service was good even though the host was running around like a headless chicken, busy and overwhelmed. Our server was nice but very quiet- I would expect her to br a bit more explaining since it was our first Korean BBQ. Overall good experience for the first time but wont be back for BBQ.

Visited during the holidays in December with a group of 8 friends visiting from out of state. We arrived around 10 PM (restaurant closes at 1 AM), sober and respectful. Unfortunately, the service was hostile from the start. We were seated next to the kitchen, where there is a glass window facing our table. At one point, our server placed his phone directly against the glass with the camera facing us. From our perspective, it appeared we were being recorded. When asked about it, he denied recording and said “my boss was fixing something,” yet left the phone there without a clear explanation. A simple gesture like removing the phone upon request would have resolved the issue when your customers are uncomfortable. A few minutes later, after my boyfriend jokingly posed for the camera for two seconds, the server came out and told him, “You’re not a kid anymore. Act your age.” This was confusing and inappropriate, especially if he truly was not watching or recording. When we asked to speak to a manager, he then claimed he himself was the manager, contradicting his earlier statement of his boss being there. He also refused to give his name, saying it was none of our business. The food was mediocre for the price, but the service is what truly ruined the experience. One of our visiting friends calmly tried to explain why we felt uncomfortable, and the server was openly rude to him as well. After we left a lower tip due to the service, the server made a final, inappropriate comment: “Where are you guys from? Vietnamese, right?” said in a condescending tone. This was unnecessary and felt discriminatory, especially when we were all racially Asian. I started recording the event as evidence in case things went worse. We were polite throughout the entire visit and were not drunk (eight of us shared one soju since it was late). I even apologized to him for having to work during the holidays and was met with a hostile stare. I brought friends here hoping to share a place I once enjoyed, but instead our holiday night was ruined by unprofessional and disrespectful service. Never have I been treated so poorly as such being a paying customer in NYC, especially on the holidays.

Had high expectations from all the good reviews. However, quality of the food and the service are simply not up to standard. Such a disappointing experience. Nothing in this restaurant worth your money. I do not recommend this place at all. You can find better quality and price Korean restaurants in Queens.

Extremely disappointing order through Uber Eats. The meat was extremely dry and burnt…quality and quantity both poor. My naengmyun felt like it was pre-prepared because the noodle came in a block, and there were no noodle soup. Would advise anyone from ordering from here.
