    3.5/5. Cozy and cute Korean spot with some decent offerings. Food-wise, nothing special but good service and vibes all around. (Eg. Chicken could use a bit more punch of umami but was well-fried)

    A small off the beaten Korean restaurant where the vibes are cozy, the food is excellent, and the price point is good. Just make sure you have cash as it's cash only - they have an ATM in the back.

    I got the ttuckmandoo guk and jt was okay - wasn't anything too special. A clean soup that is good for a hangover or when you want something light on the stomach. Fish cakes and dumplings seemed like they just unfroze and tossed in some broth. The tteokboki also was not very good - and I was surprised to see hash browns on the menu at a Korean restaurant but I still got one anyways lol Very nice area and just across the street from a big park. Service was kind and friendly

    The cutest little place with the most appetizing food that is filling and delicious! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Warm environment and great service!

    I arrived at the restaurant around 6:40pm on a Saturday night, and from what I saw there was a lot of space available to eat indoors and outdoors. They had ample seating no wait for both. I asked for a seat for two people. The waitress said sure have a seat around the corner there is a table ready for you. I went and had a seat. She came to my table right after with a nasty attitude saying, "Where is the other person?" I said, "she's heading over and will be here in five minutes." The waitress said with the same attitude, "when it's Friday or Saturday we need the entire party to be seated together. So, she has to get here in five minutes." Okay, I totally get it if there's a mad rush for tables, every table is filled which it wasn't, and there is a line out the door. None of which happened! I'm like wth! Left a bad taste in my mouth. My friend arrives less than five minutes. We ordered food after a bit. Ordered the KFC - Korean Fried Chicken. Eight pieces of wings in spicy dokebi sauce. It was more on the spicy side, glad that I didn't order the really spicy one. Also, ordered two Kalbi Tacos which was tasteless even with the sauce on the side. I've definitely had better. Just got one banchan as a side dish the pickled white mu radish. I mean out of everything the banchan was the best. It doesn't say much! I always pass by this place on my walks across the bridge and wanted to try it as the name was cute. But with the sub par service (I asked for one napkin and the waitress returns much later with it, did she go to the moon to get it?!) and the food being eh, I won't be returning.

    My favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. It's always busy but you usually won't have to wait for a table. The light and ambience are excellent as it looks right out over the park. The kimchi soup is my favorite in New York! The staff is always friendly and attentive. Can't recommend enough!

    This place was on my list for a while and I'm glad I tried it! We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and quick. We had an interesting take on a Moscow mule that was great. Our food was great too! The kimchi platter was stand out - especially the dried squid omg. All the way up to the matcha and taro ice cream dessert, whole meal was great. Inside and out there's great seating, especially outside - lots of spots as this place is on a corner and uses both sides of the street. Overall will definitely come back

    Banchan Sides
    Avanti J.

    Definitely a spot worth the visit! Ambience is great and there is indoor and outdoor seating. We walked in on a Friday evening and were able to get a table for 4. Restaurant is cash only but they have an atm indoors which is convenient. Everyone at the restaurant was kind, friendly, and helpful. Drinks were unique and refreshing - I got the Seoul Mule which I really enjoyed. Food-wise I tried the vegetable dumplings and the bibimbap with chicken. Both were good! We were also served banchan side dishes which were delicious. Note that you should ask about vegetarian options as many items that seem vegetarian may not be because of ingredients in the sauce. However, the restaurant was very accommodating for us and allowed us to make substitutions in certain dishes to make it vegetarian.

    This place looks adorable, both inside and out. Currently during the pandemic, they had a little setup with pantry items that they are selling, a smaller outpost of their sister store Kimchee Market. I was a bit tempted by the merchandise -- I love a clean food drawing. They also have complimentary barley tea for those who are waiting for pickup, and currently have a discount on pickup orders, so do take advantage. Just a note that they are cash only, though there is an atm inside. A friend and I split the ttuckppokki (rice cakes), the dokebi spicy fried chicken (8 piece), and the vegetarian scallion pancake. We thought it was plenty of food, and all delicious. The rice cakes were soft and chewy, and amazing in the sauce. I also loved the texture of the pancake and the flavoring of the fried chicken. The sour of pickled radish side that came with was a good complement to the salty, crispy, oil-lavished chicken skin. The barley tea was a refreshing treat in itself, and good as a palate cleanser before and after. Our ordering process was fairly straightforward, and they also have an outdoor dining setup for those inclined. Oh, and I thought it was adorable that they had custom covers for their takeaway chopsticks. Overall, a solid meal and a satisfactory soothe to my Korean food craving.

    My boyfriend and I have been on a quest to introduce his mother to as many new cultures through…read morefood as we can when she visits us in Brooklyn. Last night we decided it was time she try Korean food, and specifically he wanted to choose a Bib Gourmand restaurant. We booked this reservation the same day, and watched spots get taken as we booked on the website! Street parking wasn't hard to find and we were greeted and seated immediately. We loved the calming atmosphere inside and had a table with a view of everything. After offering us water, we decided on drinks. I ordered the Velvet Reviver, which was described as an espresso martini meets a White Russian. It was delicious and almost like a dessert drink. My boyfriend ordered The Squid & The Whale which grew on all of us, especially paired with our food. To start, we shared the Yache pajun (vegetable scallion pancakes) and the Dukboki fundido (a Mexican inspired spicy, hot, cheesy dip with my favorite chewy Korean rice cakes inside). The scallion pancakes were delicious and had much more texture than once I have tried in the past, paired with a perfect vinegary sauce you can spoon on top. We all loved the dip and it was the perfect amount of spicy and comforting chewiness. I then was recommended a white wine to pair with the appetizer I chose as my entree, the Yeoneo. Each slice of salmon was incredibly fresh, and they were very generous with the amount of row that was served as well. The greens and avocado slices were great as well to add more texture. My boyfriend then ordered a yummy beer and the Daegu jorim. We absolutely adored this dish and noted that the cod had perfect structure to it, that almost mimic that of the deliciously cooked radishes in this dish. His mother ordered the ultimate comfort dish of the night, the Kalbi jjim (with no jalapeños). We were in awe at how the meat fell apart due to how tender it was. If you like melt in your mouth beef and stew like dishes, this is the dish for you. Our food was served with some banchan: amazing kimchi, myeolchi bokkeum (dried anchovies, much more mild than you'd expect), and kongjang (soy beans, also mild and with more chew than a typical edamame you might expect). We absolutely loved our dinner here and how helpful and kind the weight staff was, explaining different dishes and flavors, and clearing and switching out our plates at every turn.

Since I was staying in Brooklyn for work, Haenyeo was an easy choice for a date night dinner. We went on a Thursday evening around 8pm. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately without a wait. The restaurant was fairly busy; if you're planning ahead I would consider making a reservation. We started with an order of the Japchae. Then we ordered the Bibimbop with chicken and the Bulgogi. The Japchae was underwhelming. Not a strong flavor profile, leaned sort of bland. The entrees were much better. The rice in the Bibimbop had a really yummy crispy layer. When all mixed together, it's a great melody of flavors and textures. The Bulgogi was equally enjoyable. Definitely recommend the red spicy sauce it comes with. We shared both entrees among 2 people and felt the portions sizes were decent - neither left hungry. The service was okay. We didn't seem to have a dedicated server. It felt like all the wait staff takes care of everyone simultaneously? Everyone was friendly; there was just a long wait for someone to come for our food order. If you're looking for an authentic experience with Korean food, this may be the spot for you.

As someone who really enjoys KBBQ, I came in with high expectations. The experience ended up being just okay. The biggest letdown was the banchan. The kimchi in particular did not taste fresh, and while I can usually appreciate well-fermented kimchi, this felt past its prime. The rest of the banchan did not stand out either. For the meats, we tried the dry aged ribeye, hanger steak, and non-marinated galbi. The ribeye was underwhelming and a bit too chewy for my liking, especially given the expectations around dry aging. The hanger steak ended up being the most flavorful and tender of the three. The galbi had great marbling and was apparently cut fresh that day, but in a city with strong KBBQ competition, it did not quite stand above the rest. That said, the service really stood out. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. If there is one thing I would remember most from this visit, it is the level of care from the team.

Happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised! Almost everything we ordered was delicious! Both Korean Fried Chicken orders had good flavor and great for sharing. I rarely see Soy Ginger as an option (usually it's Soy Garlic) but I like the slight sharpness it added to each bite. The Seafood Pancake was crispy, loaded with seafood, and paired nicely with the ponzu. The Slow Loris Roll was incredible! The rice ratio was just right, there was a good variety of fish and it was all fresh, the avocado and sauces added nice creaminess, and torching the roll was the cherry on top. The Spicy Bulgogi Fried Rice with Cheese was super savory, the sunnyside egg was cooked perfectly, and the portion was solid. I didn't care for the cheese and honestly could've done without and not noticed. It did need something to cut through the richness. I did enjoy the Beef Galbi much more! It is brought to the table sizzling and smelling amazing. It's savory, sweet, and smoky. I like that it's paired with kimchi & rice making this is complete meal. All in all, I was impressed with everything here! We were also a large party (7 people) yet everything was served correctly and in a timely fashion. Definitely recommend stopping by!
