I'm glad I pick thid place because all we ordered was yummy!
Its actually a little different from any korean restaurant I've been to before. The food is seriously delicious and lots of food choices in their menu. They have combo choices of food for groups. We start of with seafood pancake which we enjoyed. Its soft and lots of seafood. For main dish we had the gamja tang+ mukeunji bossam for 4 people and its a lot of food for us. Its a huge pot of pork meatbone soup and it comes with a plate of slices of pork with oyster on the side. Its actually my first time eating this type of korean food and for sure not my last because I'm surely going back. I enjoyed everything from the soup to the side dish and that soft pork that you eat with raw oyster and some kimchi.
I love this place. The place is clean, the food is yummy and the servers are nice. I'm coming back soon! -

Been around for a long time, yet still one of the only Korean restaurants specializing in Gamja Tang, a pork loin and vegetable spicy casserole. On a cold day, there are very few restaurants that I would prefer over Geo Si Gi.
If it's your first time, order a #1, #2 or #3. Only difference is fresh vs. dried vs. pickled vegetables. The portions here are very large and you certainly get your money's worth. Just order one size smaller than you think you can eat and no food will go to waste. However, do add a noodle (ramen, udon, etc.) and ask for fried rice when you are done with the casserole. They will cook it in the same pot, which will pick up all the flavors still left on the bottom.
If you need more food, order the Jok Bal, which is steamed pork leg. Order the smaller portion, it's plenty for four. This huge plate of super tender pork with skin and all that gelatinous goodness is always a hit. Dip it in the mildly spicy soy based sauce and let the party begin in your mouth. More food? Just order a Seafood Pancake like everyone else.
Service is always friendly and they have parking through a driveway on the left side of the restaurant. That's a winner combination. Not sure I ever want this place to be featured in some food show that will leave me having to make reservations, but I certainly hope it has enough business to stay open for as long as I got teeth. -

Surprised I missed this place when I thought I've been to every Korean restaurant in Queens. I ordered the Geosigi Gamjatang for 2 ($33.95) and that was more than enough for 2 asian girls with big appetites.
The Gamjatang was super hot and full of lots of good stuff. The side dishes were all DELICIOUS (you know a restaurant is good if they have yummy side dishes) and the service was good as well.
I would definitely come here again if I was craving some hot Korean stew :) -

I haven't had much Gamja Tang experiences but this was one of my best Korean dining experiences ever. Plenty refillable variety of bonchon. Amazing flavorful, pork bone soup with ever so tender meat that falls off the bone. Bossam was really good and we got octopus in our soup which they help stir up and cooke and cut for you. The service doles out your bowls and refills them too when you're finished. LA Galbi on point - the entire meal was executed to perfection. Left with no leftovers and it was quite the feast for 4!

I've heard really good things about Geo Si Gi's famous gamjatang, so I decided to try it for myself. I arrived on a Thursday afternoon and took advantage of the lunch special. The restaurant was relatively empty, which made sense for a Thursday afternoon. I ordered my food promptly and eagerly waited for my food to be served.
The gamjatang was savory and satisfying. There were a total of 3 pork bones (decently sized) and one chunk of potato. I understand that most gamjatangs usually don't have much potato, so that wasn't a problem for me. The star of the show was the sweet mustard dipping sauce for the pork, which was a SOLID 10/10. Mmm I wish I could take that home because I could dunk anything in that sauce! I tried a bit of my boyfriend's budaechigae, and we both agreed that it was delicious, but the proportions were a bit off. There was a copious amount of hot dog, but not nearly enough ramen and vegetables. Therefore, it just felt we were constantly eating hot dog :/ One good thing to note is that they gave a free steamed egg, which is definitely noteworthy for a lunch.
Overall, I give this place a 4/5, because the food was great, but can really shine with a couple of tweaks. Also, the staff did not refill our banchan (I never asked them to refill, but they also just left it empty the entire time..). They do have a diverse menu, so I can see myself coming back to try different options (or to get more of that gamjatang ^_^)
