Gupji - FLUSHING

Craft beers and seafood is so delicious together here in this cozy casual bar vibe joint. Specialty items noted on two blackboards with neon chalk showcase just a sampling of the unique specialties they offer. I was lucky to have the chance to try this place out with a foodie friend that's been here before so ordering was easy. We tried the appetizer tasting where it's a selection of appetizers marked with the asterisk on the menu. The best was the Tako wasabi, which is octopus and cucumber with a hint of wasabi and seaweed to roll it together. Also very good was the fried oysters. For our entrees, we each ordered a bento box. Chilean Sea Bass for him and Pork Belly for me. Both were excellent. Totally recommend the bento as it's filled with little goodies such as kimchi, pickled onions, rolled omelette and fried chicken. It's also the best value. Paired with our beers (Pilsner and a Korean Terra), so satisfying. Highly recommend this place for their service as well. Waitress was attentive and always smiling.

Amazing service and food!! Authentic, healthy. Would definitely come back !!Food: 5/5

Nice Korean Izakaya right in the heart of Murray Hill. Food is good. Most flavors are light and fresh. Food also comes out fast. Vibe is chill and nice inside. Good place to order some wine or other drinks with good company and talk the night away Service is also very good. They also have a nice little alcove with 3 or 4 tables near the back of the restaurant that has a fire place.Ordered: 1. Taste of Gupji appetizer sampler. 2. Fish Roe soup. 3. okonomiyakiParking: Metered street parking is free after 7pm. This parking is found all within a few blocks of the restaurant.

Hightlight: A Japanese-style Korean restaurant. My personal favorite for a light meal. Nice environment and super cute hand written menu on blackboard.Recommendation: flying fish row rice, mini egg, okonomiyakiFood: we ordered GUPJI salad, okonomiyaki, pan fried oysters, karaage, mini egg, flying fish roe rice and everything taste good. One interesting thing is that they serve Japanese-style seafood pancakes but does not have Korean classic version. LOLFor flying fish row rice, please try it as soon as it comes to the table if you prefer the raw taste. Otherwise, it will be cooked by the temperature from rice.

The food here was good, maybe 4.5/5 but maybe not the best value.Pork belly stew was spicy and made me feel alive and they had good sauces pairings with most dishes.
