Great people work there
Service was great
Service was great
Insla impressed with exceptional service. Bartender Bjorn was extremely impressive, crafting a standout drink. The chefs’ compliments were beautiful, enhancing the memorable experience. Highly recommend!
Not cheap, but I always have a great time there, the staff and atmosphere make me feel at ease, and the food is excellent! Highly recommend you try Insa. It's probably the best Korean spot that is near Park Slope.

Insa is a restaurant that offers a mix of Korean barbecue and karaoke, perfect for big group gatherings. The atmosphere is described as having a lovely ambiance with cool lighting and intimate space, featuring large family-style tables and sleek decor. The bar section is noted for its cozy spot to enjoy a solid cocktail selection along with a wide variety of Korean drinks, all within a clean and welcoming environment. The restaurant's host and servers are recognized for their authentic and fresh approach, with some diners expressing love and gratitude for the thoughtful service.
While the atmosphere and bar section received positive feedback, there are some criticisms regarding the food. The banchan, or side dishes, were mentioned as lacking in variety, with the kimchi being disappointingly dry. Some guests found the food to be a little too oily or buttery, and the Galbi and pork belly were noted as overpriced and underwhelming. However, the pancakes and the Kimchi Jjigae were praised for their quality, and the K-Town Gelato was enjoyed as well.
Additionally, there were concerns about the lack of Korean staff and the mostly Caucasian restaurant-goers, which raised questions about the authenticity of the Korean cuisine. Overall, while Insa is great for all types of gatherings and received commendations for its karaoke setup and excellent service, some diners felt disappointed with the food offerings, especially given the high price point.
