Super cute and modern retro. The decor is very inside garden patio with fun nostalgic tchotchkes. The pre fixe menu was delicious and hibiscus ade was perfect. I recommend their cookie dough ice cream for some well earned dessert

We were excited to eat at this Michelin-rated Bib Gourmand restaurant. Sadly, we didn’t think the food we had deserved the rating. The Jja Jang noodles didn’t have much taste and the Summer Salad Bibim bowl was just slightly better. Oh, also the bingsoo was served up in a cup! Did Michelin try only a couple of dishes before giving the rating? Tsk. Tsk.

Came here last saturday for a bite to eat. The place was really nice and the staff was extremely pleasant. I got the chicken sandwich with the fries and it was extremely tasty. I will definitely come back.

Great food. Great service. Great vibes! I loved this place. Our server was SUPER friendly and the food was quality. A Korean fusion restaurant that was tastefully executed

Takeout was alright. Got the porkbelly platter which was a bit too salty for my liking and a bit dry. Maybe the dine in experience and chicken would be better?

It was ok I guess. Sorta Bushwick 2015 vibes

Super yummy food. I got one of the bowls with pork belly & the red sauce. Service was amazing but we were the only ones there at 8pm on a Wednesday night (maybe Thursday, can't remember). Very Instagram hype aesthetic and was kinda shocked to be the only patrons but it's also a weird location for a spot like this. I'll be back though!

Ordered their mandu and I really enjoyed it. The staff is nice and they have a nice setup for their indoor dining.

Service: 10/10 Food: Chicken sandwich: 10/10 mouthwatering Galbi burger: 9/10 very good im a tough judge Jjajang bowl: if you love gravy w rice this one hits the spot and an overall great rice bowl 9/10 Kbbq spare ribs: I'm not gonna give these a rating. They were disappointing due to me not getting along with the "gravy on bbq" concept, and that's a personal preference I just discovered- BUT in my attempt to be unbiased, I will say that the meat was pretty good, cooked proper with a nice tasty char, and it's very possible a lot of people would love this dish but just didn't flow for me :( the sides with the ribs were excellent I mean probably the best little macaroni salad I've ever eaten. Coleslaw and fries too. So good. Nevertheless, the meal was excellent and I would come back for that amazing chicken sandwich and to try something else or repeat everything I loved.

Great service, lovely outdoor seating.Appetizers are good, however don't settle for the customer favorites on the menu. The Kansho Poppers were alright (I ordered the shrimp). The real winner were the corn ribs. Inspired me to give a go at creating them during the next backyard bbq I host. I will say that the dipping sauce they provided for the corn ribs was nothing to write home about. Maybe commit to the flavors profile add a little bit more of a zang? Or add a good bit of spice to give the mayo base something to counteract? Either would be a nice addition to the otherwise fantastic opener.I ordered the KBBQ spare ribs with the intent of munching on them at home after I had digested a bit more of the two appraisers. I haven't had a taste as of yet, but good golly one wiff of the to-go bag had my stomach yearning for more food to be shoveled in ASAP.
The ambiance was so fun, the food was delicious, and the staff was so kind. They don't have a huge menu which I liked because it didn't stress me out. I ended up trying a local sparkling water called Halmi, a woman owned/run business in Brooklyn, and got the kimchi bowl for dinner. Both were absolutely delicious and the flavor of the drink and food went great together. I'd definitely recommend going to Gentle Perch!

Filthy tile tables, food so-so. The ribs were ok, meat was tender and came right off the bone. Odd flavor though. The brisket bowl was a huge disappointment. First off I don’t think it was brisket, it was cut into thin slices and it was rubbery and tough. There was so much black sauce in there that it overpowered everything. What saved the meal was really bomb kimchi mac and cheese. Best I ever had.

I really enjoyed the indoor atmosphere. Cozy, and bright. The staff were friendly and efficient. My fried chicken sandwich was a little plain and dry, however, my mom really enjoyed the kimchi fried rice.

Was here for the event that gentle perch had with maku and noona's icecream for Korean Thanksgiving and loved the vibe of the restaurant. There was a lot of food and I left stuffed! Would be open to try this restaurant on a regular day.

Not very good.. To start it was really empty to the point you feel kinda awkward talking. The waitress, while sweet, did not know the menu. We had asked if the rib plate came with buns, which we saw online, and she said she wasn't sure - which is kinda upsetting, given there's less than 10 things on the menu. We got the ribs (did not come with buns I guess they changed the menu and she told us after) and the chicken poppers. The rib plate was kind of all around bad. The macaroni was the only thing that was sort of good. The ribs were not hot, warm at best, dry and just not very good. Everything on the plate was kimchi flavored which just got old after a couple bites. But really emphasis on DRY. Chicken poppers decent, not bad BAD but burnt and drenched in sauce. Nothing was good enough to make me want to come back, 10/10 would NOT recommend.
