KAL

KAL Korean Food in Astoria is a great spot if you’re looking for solid Korean food at a really good value. They have a lunch special before 4 p.m. that’s only $15, which is honestly hard to beat for the amount of food you get. The portion sizes are very large, so you definitely won’t leave hungry. We tried the tofu appetizer and it was surprisingly crunchy on the outside and very flavorful easily a standout. Everything came out fresh and satisfying. Overall, this is a spot I’d highly recommend, especially for lunch if you’re in the area.

My friend and I ordered delivery from here and it wasn't a bad spot in Astoria for Korean food! We got their soondubu and bulgogi combo as well as their seafood pancake. When the order came, we also received some banchan, which was really nice to enjoy with our meal. Portions were good, the bulgogi was well-seasoned, and the seafood pancake came with lots of seafood (I just wish the pancake also came with sauce). Would love to check this restaurant in store one day!

I had the lunch set which was a good deal, the bulgogi and rice was good a tad bit too sweet for my liking. But I mainly went for the soup, which was extremely disappointing. The kimchi soup had tasted like salt no other favor except salt, and my partner had gotten the tofu soup which tasted like water and the tofu in both were cold which made no sense as it came in a boiling hot stone bowl… the actual food was good but the soup could use a lot of work…

Cozy spot with super delicious food and great service. We got the crunchy tofu, pork and chive dumplings, and spicy pork and bulgogi. Crunchy tofu had great flavor and was indeed crunchy. Pork and chive dumplings were delicious - we got them fried and they were crispy and hot. Lots of filling in them too. Bulgogi with ssam set was great. The beef was tender and the onions were sautéed perfectly. It came out piping out and the ssam was such a great addition. The spicy pork was indeed spicy and delicious. Will be back.

Magnificent! There is not enough words to describe how delicious the food is in KAL. Walking around Astoria I found this GEM, their kindness and service is marvelous, the portions of food are just perfect. I visited during lunch time and it was such a nice experience! My favorite to go place from now on for Korean food 🥘 Thank you Andy for the great conversation and such a great service ✨
