Duck Village

«Duck village» is a pretty standard Korean Chinese food place.
Just a note, Koreans have «Chinese» food similar to how Americans have «Chinese» food. So just think of this as a simple American Chinese restaurant except replace the American with Korean.
Their food is pretty standard. If you’re unlucky enough to eat their food on an off-​day, I’m so sorry. Things taste pretty terrible on their off-​days. I actually really enjoy their jjamppong (the spicy seafood noodles). Out of all their standard Korean Chinese dishes, this one is probably the best thing they have. I would actually rate their jjamppong one of the better ones in the Bayside area (this is including Chinese House). Their lunch specials aren’t too bad either. Each dish is around 8 dollars for lunch.

My go to spot for Korean Chinese food! I love this place! Their Jjajangmyun (noodles with black bean sauce), Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), fried rice, Tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork or beef) and Gan Poong Gi (deep fried chicken in a spicy, tangy and sweet sauce) are usually all spot on and delicious!
Parking is normally not a problem. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Service is usually good but it can get a wee bit slow when the place gets super busy. I usually avoid the busy crowds and come here on non busy hours. However, I can overlook the occasional slower service because their food is simply delicious. Good fresh food, plenty of seating, and fair price to portion ratio will always have me coming back to this lovely place. Two thumbs up in my book!

Quack Quack let’s all go to Duck Village. I didn’t know about this place until today but I can say that I was thoroughly impressed by the food. If you’re looking for a great Jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) place, then look no further.
Me and a bunch of my friends were helping another friend move this morning so we were all exhausted by the end of it. There was a multitude of things to eat around where we were but we couldn’t really make a firm decision. Someone suggested Jjajangmyun which, I wasn’t so excited about, but it was well received by everyone else so we went. I had eaten some Jjajangmyun a couple days before so I wasn’t particularly looking forward to it. Not to mention that I’d never been to Duck village so I had no real idea of how good it would be. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised at both the quality and taste of the food.
We sat down quickly and our orders were taken. We got 3 Jjajangmyuns, 1 Jjamppong, and one pork Tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet sauce). The Tangsuyuk came first and it was perfectly crispy and sweet. Immediately after, all our other orders came and my Jjajangmyun was straight up delicious. I’ve had my fair share of Jjajangmyun in my life and I have to say that this was one of my best experiences eating it. Maybe I was especially hungry but it really did hit the spot. A perfect blend of sweet and savory.
tl;dr — Great food, good service, good eats for a good price. Go!

Foods always great, great customer service. They have parking in the rear. The parking lot is sometimes packed.

Their spicy jja jang myun is perfect– spicy just enough for you to enjoy unlike spicy jja jang myuns from other restaurants. I like how the waitress is attentive and courteous and their set menus are reasonable (I mean they are good values). This restaurant deserves way better rating than what they currently have. It was my second time at this restaurant today and I was not disappointed even though I was sick of eating outside after being away from home for almost a week. All in all, highly recommend!

i know this spot isn’t everyone’s first choice for jjajangmyun in queens but i appreciate how. bland? their food is? i never want to immediately lay down right after or like just want to kill myself after eating anything from here like i do sometimes whenever i visit say samwongak, or joong gook jip. broke out in hives after eating guhsong but i digress.
anyway, service is always very quick here and the people waiting tables are always attentive and helpful. they have televisions on both sides of the restaurant occasionally playing some hilarious korean show so sorry friend-​sitting-​across-​from-​me-​today can you repeat what you just said i forgot i wasn’t at home mindlessly chewing with my eyes glued to the tv.

I have three go-​to jjajangmyun restaurants in the area, with this one being closest to my house! I’ve been going here since I was in High School (Cardozo represent!) and I’ve always had a pretty solid meal here.
Their noodles are always perfectly cooked, and while their jjajang is not as deep in flavor as Chinese House’s, it is generously portioned with lots of meaty chunks, so for the price, you can always bet on leaving completely full. Their side dishes are the traditional yellow radish and onion with jjajang, as well as juicy and perfectly ripe kkakdugi (radish kimchi).
They always have a lot of specials going on as well (all written in Korean around the walls, so bring a hangook friend). I’m a fan of their kong gooksoo (cold bean broth noodle soup) during the summer! Their steamed chives dumplings and boiled dumplings are great as well!
I am also a fan of their lunch specials, and many an after-​school lunch was eaten here with my mom, sharing plates of beef and broccoli or kkangpoong shrimp.
The service is always super friendly and attentive, and the ample parking in the lot out back makes it always super convenient to drop in.
Overall, this is a very solid and attractively-​priced restaurant to satisfy your noodle cravings for lunch or dinner!

Great jjajangmyun and jjambbong.
What more you need to say?
Isnt those two are the most important
Menus in Korean-​style Chinese restaurant
Right?
so.

Food was good especially the jangbong. I only used my card there n
My numbers got stolen.

My second stop to ultimate JaJangmyun! I was kind of disappointed since this was recommended by my hubby’s Korean homey who hails from Seoul, swearing that this was the most authentic we would ever taste.
The noodle texture was amazing but the sauce flavor was bland in comparison to Chinese house.

Best ja jjang myun in queens! Very good sauce and noodles. Not your tradional chinese restaurant so if you are looking for that dont bother.

This place is really good. I think their noodles are cooked really nicely, the way it’s supposed to be cooked for jja jjang myun and jjam bong. The sweet and spicy pork (tangsooyook) also hits the spot for me. Service is good and fast.

I do not know why this place has such a bad reputation with its 2.5 stars, but I love this place! I have been here 5 times now, and I left all 5 times more than satisfied!
We always get the ja jang mien (black noodles), sweet and sour pork, and sweet and spicy shrimp. Make sure to get sauce on the side for the sweet and sour pork, and dip it when you eat. This retains the crispy/​chrunchy-​ness of the pork!
The price is pretty reasonable and the wait staff is super pleasant and nice. I will definitely be back here every couple of months! Enjoy!

3.5 stars because of price vs. flavor profile.
I’m Asian and I left this place ethnically confused! Clearly it says outside that its Chinese but then you see Korean words. So maybe its Chinese food with a Korean twist or the other way around? who knows?!! Some other reviewers said they has Chinese servers, when i went it was all Korean. Menus are in Korean, translated nicely into English. I went with a Korean friend who told me they had typical traditional Korean dishes as well as other ones that they seem to have made up but lets get on with the food.
Food: I had jjangbong, tangsuyook. Price wise it was very expensive. 18 bucks for each dish. I’m not very big on Korean food so ill have to comment on how it is overall which includes a lot of bias.
Jjangbong was my noodle soup dish. It had the perfect amount of spice but i thought the noodles were a bit «chewy.» Apparently its supposed to be like that but I’m just saying I’m not a fan of that. Every good noodle dish will rely heavily on the broth used. Noodles in itself never have that much of a flavor profile and as such i never like noodles but i though why the hell not. It was okay, it met what i expected, plain noodles with an okay spicy broth. I finished half because there was a lot.
Tangsuyook apparently is as popular as say, general taos chicken in a Chinese restaurant. Its fried pork with a sweet and sour sauce. I am partial towards sweet things so i liked this one. Critically, if you don’t like a gooey texture, you wont like this one. Also it was all sweet with no sour. There wasn’t a whole lot of pork flavor either. Nicely fried though
Service: Fast service and friendly people. My cup of water was never empty.
Environment: clean, big tables. They have private rooms for a large party too. The place looked very simple and bright.

I thought it was weird that this was a place that served Chinese food by Korean people. I would not have gone had it not been for convenience sake. We went there on a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm so there were only 3 tables of people there. It was clean and open with two big screen TV’s at each end of the restaurant for your viewing pleasure of some Korean channel.
For two people, we ordered Jjajang-​myun, seafood pancake with lots of scallions, and half roasted duck. It was more than enough for two people and we had leftovers to take home as well. I have never tried Jjajang-​myun before and it was okay. Basically, it was noodles in this brown sauce with bits of meat in it and onions. It was not as flavorful as I’d thought it would be but it was okay. The seafood/​scallion pancake was alright I suppose if you are a big fan of scallions, which I am not. But surprisingly, I was able to eat it as the scallions were not overbearing in flavor. Lastly the half roasted duck was overly fat and not roasted enough. The smell and taste of it was overpowered by the oiliness of it and seemed like it might have even been some sort of left over or use of old oil perhaps. I definitely had better duck. Overall, I enjoyed the Jjajang-​myun, although I would like to try it at another place to compare.

It’s aiiiight. BF took me here after we saw that our beloved beef with tomato and prk chop place got a ‘C’ rating. This place was an «A’ rating and we decided to get the fried dumplings, KKangpoongki and chachangmyun/​champong. I was super hungry and not super picky so everything tasted good. Not the best, but definitely good.

I went here because my fiancé’s parents were hungry after we all traveled cross country from LA. The place is a Korean Chinese restaurant. The dishes are all Chinese but the place is definitely a Korean place. I had the spicy beef version of jajangmyun and the fried pork chop in sweet and sour sauce. Both were just okay. The noodles lacked a depth of flavor that I usually come to expect with good Asian noodles, and the pork chops tasted mostly like the fried flour. There wasn’t much flavor to the meat and the sauce was mostly on the plate, and wouldn’t stick to the meat.
Overall the service was friendly. The waitress spoke Mandarin to us.
PS: Weird thing happened. When we were sat down at our table, my fiancé & her parents are Chinese, and I am Filipino. A latino guy came to our table with four tea cups, tea, and a glass of water. He poured out 3 cups of tea and left one empty and put the glass of water in front of me. WTF?! I had to knock off a few brownie points for that.

So, I walk inside and the first impression I get is that it’s a Korean restaurant, but it turns out they actually serve Chinese cuisine. My first hint was when they didn’t have bimbambap on the menu. What an oddity right? The menu is all in Korean with English translations. The staff look and speak Korean (one of them though spoke Mandarin and Korean). They have soju bottles lined up in the back. Everything in this place screams Korean! Yet, they serve Chinese cuisine? I was later informed by my omniscient father that these places are becoming popular in NY with there being more Chinese Koreans immigrating here.
Anyway, here’s what we ordered:
3.5 /​5: Spicy Seafood Fried Rice
It was a little bland with not enough spicy kick to it. It definitely needed some salt. Assuming it’s just my taste preference, it was still decent and I liked it.
³⁄₅: Beef Fried Rice
This was just like any other fried rice except the beef is in slightly larger slices.
³⁄₅: Fried Pork with Spicy, Sweet & Sour Sauce
The pork was cut into thin strips and lacked pork flavor. Most of what I tasted was the flour coating. It definitely requires a sauce. I actually preferred the soy sauce/​chili powder/​vinegar sauce the waitress made for me.
Overall, the food was decent. The staff was friendly, insightful, and spoke English well. I’ll definitely come back again though. I want to try their Jjajang-​myun aka jajian-​mein!
Update: Jjajang-​myun wasn’t bad. I actually liked it. They use a different type of noodle (not sure what it was called)
