F4tF: Hahm Ji Bach, Authentic Korean in “Eating Alley” Flushing, Queens

This is the food we ordered:

Pork

The lettuces to wrap it in

The goal is then to take one (or more) types of the lettuce leaves,  fill them with some of the pork, some of the different small plate options and wrap it up. There were different types of tofus in different textures that were prepared and presented many different ways such as in a block (on one of the small plates) and a piping hot pot of soft tofu in tomato sauce:

She also ordered a seafood soup which I enjoyed very much

Around a week later, my mom called me and asked if I could bring her and a friend of hers to Hahm Ji Bach since I raved so much about the first trip. I texted my friend, she gladly met us for lunch. Having four people afforded us the opportunity to sample a wider range of their food. This time we ordered pork three ways: Sliced thin, sliced thick and marinated. There was a gas burner in the middle of the table and they placed a convex cast iron pan atop it to cook everything at the table.

This was our table after the small plates arrived:

Once again we got a nice colorful plate of leaves.  Many different types, textures and tastes.

Here is the thin and thick cut pork waiting to be cooked

and the marinated pork waiting to be cooked as well

One the pan in the middle table was hot enough, the thin sliced pork went on to get nice and crispy

Followed by the thick cut pork and eventually the marinated pork

All I can say is that the four of us went through everything. At the end I was told we still had to go back again some time to try the beef dishes.  Guess I need to make it six people next time.

Oh and the reason that area is called Eating Alley is because there are around two dozen eateries in a four block radius.

Also right near the end of the 7 line in Flushing is the original Joe’s Shangai,  arguably the best soup dumplings around.

  1. Man, those fat slabs of pork look so good. That soft tofu stew is tasty too, especially when it’s freezing cold out. I like Seoul Garden in Korea Town for that.
