It has always been a dream of Sara’s to open a small place where New Yorkers could relax to an evening of delicious Korean Food and fun drinks. After 20 years of working in the corporate world, she decided to pursue her passion for cooking. As such, Sara opened her first bar and restaurant in Queens to provide people with refreshing food and beverages.

Sara believes in using fresh ingredients in a simple way so they bring out their own essence. Inspired by her love for foods from all over the world, she has added a Korean flare to a simple and healthy menu. With unique and appealing Soju cocktails, this establishment has a pleasant experience waiting for you. We proudly recommend our signature cocktail, Tae Guek, which you will not be able to find anywhere else.

With Kevin, and Jin, who are at the helm of the Bandi staff, the food brings enjoyment, which contributes to the cozy and comfortable atmosphere of the bar. This establishment is recognizable for its Korean influence, which enables customers to experience the rich and diverse culture.

Open since 2020, Bandi has become a Flushing fixture, home to many locals and travelers. These people come back time and time again because they love the cozy atmosphere, delicious food, unique cocktails, and the great time that comes with their visit.
