Sushi King — Restaurant in Town of Highlands

Wow, absolutely amazing. Before I get into the specifics, definitely pay this place a visit. As a Korean, and as an avid Asian food lover, this place is ranked best in my books for Korean cuisine.

The owners are this cute husband and wife duo. They speak Korean, the wife speaks English but the husband does not fluently so please be patient!!!

The good: everything honestly. We got the fried mandu and chicken combo, soondoobu jjigae, Bulgogi, and spicy pork dishes. The portions are humongous so definitely family style it up and share amongst your table.

Miso soup is served for free and has this unique umami flavor I haven’t tasted before in a miso.

The mandu and chicken were fried perfectly, and didn’t leave you feeling heavy afterwards

The soondoobu jjigae had tons of tofu (as in the name), and the gochujang flavor was perfect. Served boiling at the table

The Bulgogi was your basic meat but nonetheless this dish always hits

The spicy pork was the best. Super spicy and flavorful. I could not stop eating it. For those sensitive to spice, I wouldn’t get this dish but for those who do, I stuffed myself full!

The bad: I can’t say anything was not good. We did have to ask for water as it wasn’t brought to the table until then, and this place does not have a bathroom. But what are you coming here to do? Eat! So who cares this place is amazing

Overall: you have to try this place. Even tho we live mostly in Albany I will 100% be back soon just for this place alone. The best Korean restaurant I’ve been to out of the ones in upstate. This place competes well out of the ones in NYC too since that’s where we live part-time.

Update after eating here for over a year: STILL MY...

Cozy family restaurant with friendly service and great food. My wife usually doesn't like miso soup I think because it's made from a packet and she says it tastes like the water they used to wash the dishes. Here, the miso soup is made with fresh, home made dashi and is very flavorful and was the first miso soup that she liked.

The dumpling soup was just the thing for a cold, rainy, winter night, I really enjoyed it. Sammy showed my daughter how to mix up the bibimbap--she is ovo-lacto vegetarian and they made it without beef on request. We make a kind of bibimbap sometimes at home, but don't have the stone bowls (yet)--for sure thinking about it now. The owners are very friendly and I noticed are on first-name basis with the locals.

My wife had bulgogi and none was left, and a nice conversation with the wife about making kimchi and learned about some new things to try. We are not Korean, but my wife's best friend of many years is Korean and we enjoy the food and make it at home frequently. All in all, the meal lifted our spirits after a long drive and gave us the energy to go the rest of the way.

2nd visit a few days ago was just as good. This time my wife enjoyed the bibimbap (make sure to get it hot except maybe in summer), my daughter had the ramyun (great choice if you're on a budget BTW), and I had the spicy pork with rice which was flavorful and tender, my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. I think this will be our regular stop traveling between DC and...

As a food reviewer all the way from Missouri who has been everywhere and eaten all types of cuisine, every once in awhile you find a gem of a place that stays true to its roots and the food is just amazing. That was Sushi King for me..

I got the Bulgolgi, Spicy Pork, Kimchi, Yaki Mandu, Sushi, Sashimi and Miso.

The Miso was homemade with fresh seaweed. No pre-made broth. The soy sauce was homemade. Everything was so fresh and delicious.

The service was great. The atmosphere was very warm and relaxing.

But the joy was seeing the cook making things homemade and just singing in Korean. Doing what he loves and just sharing his culture with the world at the same time.

You can tell that love And pride goes into the food. If you've never had Korean food this place is the most authentic you'll find in America. I...
