FLUSHING, QUEENS
Hahm Ji Bach
A Flushing Korean stalwart — stone-grilled pork belly, seafood pancake and ox-bone soup, open very late.
East of downtown Flushing, around Northern Boulevard and the Murray Hill station, sits the Korean side of the neighborhood, where the restaurants cook for Korean families rather than for visitors. Hahm Ji Bach has been one of them for years: a plain, comfortable room with grills at the tables, a long menu, and late hours that make it a fixture after work and long after midnight.
Pork is the specialty — dolsamgyeopsal, thick pork belly seared on a stone, and marinated dweji galbi — with salted prime rib for the beef crowd. Beyond the grill, the kitchen is strong on homey dishes: a crisp seafood pancake, seolleongtang ox-bone soup, sundubu tofu stew, braised cutlassfish. The banchan spread is generous and refilled without asking.
Editor’s tip
Order the stone-grilled pork belly and a seafood pancake, and come late — it is at its best after 10 p.m.
