Delicious bibimbap! I was looking for a hot stone pot bowl on a cold night and Kuun absolutely delivered. I got mine with fried tofu and all the fix-ins. Also, the cocktail list is extensive and offers a lot of Korean-inspired drinks. Interior is sleek, staff is very accommodating and you probably won't have to wait any more than 20 mins. for a 2-person table. Love it, Kuun! read more

This review is for weekend dinner. Overall I think this is a solid option if you're craving Korean. Lots of classics / staples done well. I wouldn't necessarily venture a long distance for this place, but I live within a 10 minute drive and will definitely be back. Ambiance is casual. I had a reservation for 4 people, but it wasn't too busy so walk ins are probably welcomed. Food: not too many options for ban chan, but what was offered was good and unlimited. I shared the below among 4 people and enjoyed everything and it was plenty of food. -Kimbap: spicy tuna. Comes with 10 hearty pieces. Great to share. -Korean Style Chicken Wings: good crunch and flavor. Not greasy. -Mandu: hard to go wrong with deep fried dumplings. Not greasy. Flavorful. -Hot Stone Bibimbap: with bulgogi. Flavorful and meat wasn't too fatty. -Japchae: bulgogi. Classic! -Beef Kalbi: flavorful, not too fatty. read more

solid spot with classic korean dishes like japchae, bibimbap, korean barbecue, and the works. the food was delicious but nothing that was super creative or inventive for the price. banchan was good if a bit small / underwhelming compared to other places i've been. the service was very friendly and I still had a great time! it is a smaller restaurant with lots of clean and chic, modern vibes. read more

Enjoyed my takeout from here, I had my eye on it for a while because of the jjangmyun noodles and they were yummy. Very squishy and the sauce was rich with some potatoes and pork mixed in. I really liked the dish and you can't find it all that many places. The hot stone bibimbap was great, I wish the bulgogi had a little more flavor but overall enjoyed it. I also tried the kalbi tang soup, which had a very nice nourishing broth and chunks of meat. If the flavors had been turned up a notch and the meat cooked a little less, it'd be 5 stars. read more

Came back for lunch, this place slaps. It provides everything you need and want for a full on Ssam lunch. I've realized I've been coming here since my first visit every time I'm in the neighborhood. Oyster ssam box has everything you'd want with bossam. Everyone is very accommodating, attentive, and the vibes are great. read more

The seafood stew was perfection, great amount of toppings and flavor. I was completely filled on the street, didn't even need the included bowl of rice. The beef stew was also good, very clear and healthy flavor, definitely not as filling in my opinion because all it had was soup(delicious though) and few pieces of big beef on bone with bowl of rice so had to order extra mandu beef dumplings which I'm surprised weren't just fried but deep fried so it was overly crispy. Still very tasty though just not the healthiest. The food also took reallyyy long to arrive but then they balanced that with the tastiest complimentary pear juice which was a great impression. Prices were justified as well, average in the area but great food compared to others in the area. Well done! read more

I'm not Korean, and I've never been to Korea (outside of a layover in Seoul), but I'm still going to tell you that Kuun is authentic Korean food even though I'm not 100% sure I'm qualified to say so. I have been eating food (including a solid amount of Korean food) for decades though, and thus I think I am 100% qualified to tell you it's delicious. Seriously great. Everything we've had from the banchan to the pajeon to the kimbap to the japchae to the kalbi to the bibimbap to the bulgogi has been super, super tasty. I love that there is serious spice running throughout a lot of the dishes, and everything is cooked so well. I love the ssam boxes they have as a lunch special, with delicious meats, pickled vegetables and other delightful little things that I can wrap in lettuce and shove into my face. It's also an adorable little spot with high ceilings, great service, and just generally a place I am happy to eat. The only drawback is that it's a little pricey (I have a Korean friend who refuses to pay these prices for what she can cook). But the ssam boxes can feed two people with another appetizer added on, and it's not CRAZY expensive (their sister KBBQ spot next door verges on that), just a little more than I want to spend at lunch. So it's a treat, and not a staple of my diet. read more

Promptly greeted and seated with a reservation on a Saturday night. Deco-modern decor not reminiscent of a traditional Korean restaurant, but comfortable. A bit disappointed that they do not have the cook at your table setup that we love with the chosen proteins and endless Kimchee. Nevertheless the food was very good and fairly priced. Bulgogi and Chop Jae are my perennial go to and were tasty and well prepared. read more

Glad we happened across this place. Spacious, modern, comfortable seating. Service was friendly. Although the food took a bit to come out (particularly noticeable with a hungry toddler who cleared the banchan dishes and asked for more), everything was worth the wait. I got the seafood jjamppong which was the best I've ever had. The broth was so rich from the seafood and had exactly the right amount of spicy kick without burning. There was so much seafood (clams, mussels, squid, shrimp, etc.) in the bowl, I needed my husband to finish it. The noodles were so good though, I didn't leave anything behind for him to try. Husband loved the pork jjajangmyun, his favorite go to dish, and he thought it was one of the best he ever had. They were able to accommodate his preference for spice with extra seasoning on the side. Got the chicken kalguksu for our son and he loved the noodles and veggies. He didn't care much for the shredded chicken but we finished the bowl for him. The broth was so savory and hearty. Would definitely return again. read more

Kuun continues to impress me each time I visit. I tried the Makkun cocktail which was very delicious and would 10/10 recommend. This time around I also tried their la kalbi which was as delicious as my friends have said, but my only complaint is that it was a little too fatty. I would suggest using leaner pieces of meat or at least cutting out most of the fat. read more

Great spot. It's a casual spot that welcomes people who just wants to pop in for a quick bite alone. I went with a group and, per usual, we ordered a number of different plates to try. Food was a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars- it arrived quickly, and tasted pretty good. We got an order of the spicy rice cakes to share, jeon (korean pancakes), as well as these Korea chicken wings. All were solid dishes that tasted as they should, but nothing surprising nor special. The mains included the jokbal, yuk gae jang, japchae, and a seafood soondubu. I can't speak to the others, but the seafood soondubu that I got was delicious and, essentially, inhaled it in minutes. The highlight of the meal for me was their drinks though- while I loved their ginger asian pear cocktail, I couldn't help but get their ginzu after trying a sip. Fantastic drinks! Finally, for service- the staff were efficient, friendly, and understanding. We went to Kuun to catch up as a group so we actually ended up lingering and chatting after our meal for quite a while. Imagine our surprise (and honestly, our embarrassment) when we were leaving that there was quite a line of people waiting to be seated. Wonderful experience, overall. read more

Been here twice since they remodeled. Lunch was great. Not busy. Dinner one was busier, happy for them. Best Korean food in the area and probably in the Fort Greene/Downtown BK area. So hard to find good Korean food in NYC unless you live near Ktown or in Queens. Price is appropriate for Korean food in a nice area and nice environment. $30-50 each with food and drinks. Big servings. A lot of leftovers being taken away. I love their hot pot Bibimbap and Kimbap (which is oddly so hard to find). Staff is nice and attentive and I think the change from dark black interior to tan wood is a big improvement. They even give Banchan if you eat alone. read more

Came here last month for lunch on a weekday. The interior itself is very nice, clean and well-lit. We ordered their lunch sets and a jap chae to share. As with other korean restaurants, they provide banchans however I personally did not love it. I usually love the fish cakes but these ones did not feel like it was made the day of, it was a little hard and not enjoyable. Everything else was just okay. Jap chae came out first and personally thought the noodles were on the hard/chewier side. My husband thought it was good though because it was on the sweeter side. Our meals came out shortly after and I think the star of the meal was truly the meat! We got the bulgogi and short ribs and both were really tasty! They also give a decent amount per order. We left satisfied. Overall, we enjoyed the overall meal! read more

I would give Kuun 3.5 stars if Yelp allowed. I came here to try the hot stone bibimbap and jjamppong (seafood noodle soup) and on the whole enjoyed it. The jjamppong had a lot of pieces of clam and squid in it, and the heat level was perfect. It was medium heat and did not stick around after a sip of water. While the veggies and the gojuchang in the bibimbap were tasty, the downside was that for the somewhat high price of the hot stone bibimbap, I was disappointed at how fatty the bulgogi was. My first two bites were all fat and no meat. Service was pleasant and prompt, and I enjoyed the background music they had playing. I look forward to trying Kuun again to re-review. read more

New opened Korean restaurant at Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Great atmosphere and music for 3 stars but not a great experience. Nothing was surprising about food but they are ok. I would say luck of Umami and overcooked. I kinda wish it would be more than somewhat but service wise they could have been better. read more

Found this place through UberEats and I have been really enjoying their food. Some of my favorites are the - Japchae *nice smoky flavor - Soy Garlic Wings - LA Kalbi BBQ *very tender - Kalbi Jjim *love that it's not too sweet & the kuun soy sauce flavors - Kalbi Dwenjang Stew *too spicy for my tolerance The main dishes comes with rice and banchan sides. I'm lucky to live within the delivering distance. Most of the food travels well, except the wings. read more

Always love trying new local restaurants. Went on a Sunday around 5pm. No wait was seated right away. Place gives a cafe type of vibe very bright and clean. The food came hot and fresh if you are not used to Korean food may take some getting used to. Everything was flavorful even the kids enjoyed it and they are picky. The wings are so good btw I did not get a pic but we tried the Korean style chicken wings in both flavors sweet and spicy and soy garlic read more

The ambience is perfect! Gives it more of an upscale feel to Korean dinning! Service was impeccable! The manager took amazing care of us. Now for the food: Bibimbap - 4 out of 5 (the hot pot and crispy rice made it) Bonchon was good! We got unlimited daikon and kimchi! All of the food was great and the drinks were 4 out 5 stars! I will definitely be back soon. read more

My friend and I decided to come to Kuun around 1:30pm on a Tuesday. You can make reservations online, but they were not necessary, as there were only two other parties in the restaurant while we were there. They make good use of a small interior, and the aesthetic is simple and zen. I ordered mandu guk with beef dumplings ($20) and my friend had bulgogi bibimbap ($23 - $18 for the bibimbap, $5 for the bulgogi). I would say pricing is fair for the location and ambiance, though definitely on the higher side. The meal came with a small selection of banchan - the kimchi had more of an acidic/sour taste, but the beans had good flavor! My friend enjoyed the bibimbap and also has a smaller appetite, so she was able to take part of it home. For the mandu guk, I thought the flavors could have been more elevated. The waiter asked me if I wanted beef or vegetable broth, and I said beef broth, though I have never been asked that before! I just assumed all stock was made with anchovy. I really like the anchovy broth, so I felt like the beef broth lacked a level of depth, as did the flavor of the dumplings. Service was very attentive regarding check-backs and water refills. I do selfishly wish places would offer banchan refills, but I get if it's a cost issue. If you have a major Korean food craving in Brooklyn, Kuun is enough to satisfy it, but I would not go out of my way to return. read more

Firstly, I want to say the service was fantastic. We had a reservation so we were quickly seated. The waiters/waitresses quickly took our order, refilled our banchans (broccoli, fish cakes and kimchi were yum!) and brought out the food seamlessly. There was a mixup with one of the dishes but we didn't rectify it since we didn't realize it wasn't what we ordered until we all tried some of it. The ambiance when you step inside is more "up scale" compared to most Korean restaurants and had a nice cozy feeling. I liked the KPop songs playing in the background. My brother got their Christmas special drink called the Makuun (makgeoli, plum) which was a great cocktail because I've never had a makgeoli one. I got the Ginger Asian Pear which was good but was lacking the flavors I expected. I'm a little biased for the Ginger Asian Pear cocktail because I recently had this type of cocktail at a brunch place in Toronto, Canada where you could actually taste the spicy ginger and crisp pear flavors. The reason why I gave a 3/5 is due to the food. Given the price range, I expected more in flavors and textures. For appetizers we got the Spicy Korean Rice Cake ($16) and Korean Jeon ($17). The Korean rice cakes were pretty standard with chewy rice cakes and plenty of rice cakes but not really spicy. For entrees we got Beef Dwenjang Stew ($20), Tangsooyook ($34) which came with rice. The Dwenjang Stew had cute vegetables in sphere shaped which were fun to eat. However, the soup was overly sweet. The Tangsooyook was quite dry and tough for some of the pieces. We ordered one more entree but it got mixed up and we were given some type of soondubu soup which was my favorite out of everything we ordered in comparison. I thought was expensive given the quality of the food. Not sure if I ordered the wrong dishes and that's why I had a "meh" experience. Most of my family also felt the same way. read more

Very easy to get a table here! Pretty fast service as well! Honey pork bbq 3.5/5 It was pretty tasty and not too fatty. The sides like lettuce and garlic and such on the side were available for extra. I found those to be necessary sides to balance the meat but they were a pricy addition to the meal. Bibimbap 3/5 We got it with spicy squid and in a stone bowl. However the rice did not get crispy as one would expect with the stone bowl. Not too memorable of a dish read more

＊ Seafood Jeon (Pancakes) The pancakes weren't aromatic enough. It would be much better if they add some scallions, onions and chives to season the pancakes (these ingredients are the soul of Korean jeon!). My aunt appreciated the dish but I would give it a pass. ＊ Kimchi Fried Rice with Bulgogi The fried rice came with a sun egg. The raw egg yolk melanged perfectly with the rice. The grilled barbecue bulgogi was undoubtedly the highlight of the dish. Sometimes Korean beef could be rough or overcooked easily. Apparently their bulgogi made the kimchi fried rice even more satisfying without being too dull. The portion was too hearty to finish that I took away half bowl of it for my dinner. FYI the banchan (side dishes) are complimentary and refillable. They provided 3 kinds of banchan: sautéed fish cakes, broccolis and kimchi. The taste of banchan was nothing impressive, plus a lack of variety comparing to local Korean restaurants. I prefer traditional banchan like yellow pickled radish, dried shredded squid or seasoned spinach. My Recommendation: Kimchi Fried Rice with Bulgogi Worth Returning ? Yes Their jajangmyeon and stoned kikimbap are mouth-watering read more

I had the pleasure of taking my mom's out for lunch. So I wanted her to try something different and the food was tasty. She had the soy garlic sauce wings, and I had the sweet and spicy. Both flavors of chicken wings were crispy and seasoned very well. The fried rice was spicy and had a nice kick to it. The ginger lemonade tasted great, and even the tap water giver was cold and good.

Kuun - Seafood SoonDuBu - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

You can count on Kuun when you're looking for a mid-tier sit down restaurant that'll have plenty of seats and tasty food at a moment's notice. I'm always in the mood for a deeply savory meal, so the prospect of slurping down a bowl of noodles or one of their entree combos will always appeal to me when I'm in Downtown Brooklyn. Prices are a bit steep so it might be considered just a small step above a neighborhood restaurant, but the service is excellent and the space is really gorgeous so I've never minded the splurge. Everything I've tried here has been quite solid, but a few memorable dishes include the hot stone bibimbap, hand pulled noodle soup, and their seafood pancake. They have a fun cocktail menu that incorporates Korean ingredients like Asian pear and gochujang (pepper sauce) into their drinks, which feel more reasonably prices than their entrees. The flavors are strong and the service is on point so I'd very much recommend Kuun for a tasty bite when you're in the area or if you're within delivery distance. read more

I like this place for the ambiance, feels like a more formal korean restaurant. Food is good but not the best. Good service!

Walked in for lunch on a Friday and there was no wait. My friend and I shared the hot stone bibimbap and kalbi tang - both were tasty, but the soup was the highlight. Overall a decent choice for Korean food in the area! read more

Yeah, this is a no from me. I understand trying to be modern and korean options are slim in the area but... how can you have bossam on the menu without including ssam by default? Apparently you can order the ssam for an egregious extra $12? For anyone not familiar with bossam, the dish's name includes "ssam", which loosely means you're wrapping it in something. At first I thought they just forgot to bring it out but unfortunately I was wrong. The waiter did kindly offering to bring some lettuce but no musaengchae (spicy radish salad) which is also a quintessential part of a proper bossam. It'd be like ordering a sandwich and charging extra for bread. Or offering ramen and expecting the customer to order the noodles. FWIW, it wasn't terrible, but the extra cost to include something that's an essential part of the dish is pretty ridiculous. We also ordered soondubu. Again, the taste wasn't terrible but it was closer to jjamppong than soondubu. I suspect the same soup is reused for both dishes (since jjamppong is also offered). Not as absurd as missing the ssam in bossam, but this was also missing a raw egg which I've never really seen before. Sorry but as a Korean, I won't be coming back. read more

Food: Elevated Korean comfort food- this place is great for some delicious Korean dishes. This would be my second time coming here and both times all the dishes ordered tasted great. Some of the dishes do seem to lean more towards the sweeter end of the taste palate but I believe that was done with the intention to cater to a larger group of customers. Cost: The dishes are a little pricier than most places but still somewhat reasonable. It didn't stop me from coming back to have more. Environment: The pace is quite small so I have been told its better to make some reservation prior to coming in especially during the busy times. First time I came here we had a reservation and the second time I called about 30 minutes prior to make sure seating was available/make a last minute rsvp to avoid a long wait time. Service: Service was great- since the place is small the servers are attentive. The food did take a little time to come out but otherwise I had no other complaint. Uniqueness: The modernized korean food would be the selling point of this place- definitely a place to try out if you're into korean food/culture. read more

3.5 stars. Slightly expensive but tasty traditional Korean. Quality was good, but the prices were very high for normal Korean food. I think it's because of the location.

we made a reservation for a friday at 6:30p, thinking it would be busy, but it turned out to be quite empty when we arrived. it is not often that we eat korean food in downtown brooklyn, and one of my friends told me she heard good reviews about this place, so i had high hopes. and of course, i was starving like always. what we ordered: - mandu // the filling was pretty decent; however, the skin was overly thick and fried, making them super dense and heavy to eat. - kalbi tang // it was a hearty, nourishing stew that needed a bit more flavor. - seafood soondubu // soondubu is definitely one of my comfort foods that i can eat even during the hot summer. i've also had seafood in mine countless times. but sadly, this time did not meet my expectations. although it had all the seafood that should be in the stew, it tasted like a mix of frozen seafood. - bossam box // and now time for the last dish. i always thought the ssam (sides) were included, but i guess that is not the case for every restaurant. the oysters tasted fishy, but the marinade saved it. this was probably my favorite dish overall from that meal. my final verdict // i love banchan, so i wished there were more. the food was mediocre, but the vibes are cute. i definitely would recommend bringing a date for the ambiance but perhaps not the food. i think there are better korean restaurants in the city that are worth your money and the trip. read more

My friend from Brooklyn recommended we all try this place together so I knew it was going to be good! It was definitely a good choice because I enjoyed my food very much! I got the soup (good level of spicy if you like spicy) and bulgogi (both comes with rice). As someone who loves spicy, I wish there were spicy levels to these dishes (or at least have a spicy option for the bulgogi). My only regret was that I couldn't finish everything! Unfortunately, when we got the bill, our orders were charged wrong and my friends both got billed for themselves and each other. I'm pretty good with checking my bills when I pay, but if you usually just sign then do take a little time to double-check just in case. The good news is they were very friendly, apologetic, and were able to fix it so it wasn't a big of an issue! read more
