replying to u/justflipping: Hainan has a $5.99 jajangmyeon lunch special. Would also recommend Nolbu Nolbu for kimbap. In general Murray Hill, Flushing, and Bayside would be good to look into more ([some recent recs in the comments here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1ohneo8/iso_your_korean_grandmas_favorite_place_to_eat/)).
