41 Best Korean Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Absolutely spectacular cuisine 😍“

“Best Korean styled fried chicken in NYC!!!“

“I've never had food that impressed me this much. The meal created a progression of increasing delight. This place surpasses what compliments can capture. The staff makes this place feel special without trying too hard. Both tourists and residents will find the quality exceptional.“

“If you're looking for authentic, delicious Korean food with great service, look no further than ChinGoo. Whether you're craving a flavorful bowl of bibimbap or some seriously great fried wings, you won't be disappointed. Five stars all the way! Also splurge on their selection of Jinro Soju but be mindful of the fact that it is a strong drink!“

“I recently had an amazing Korean food experience that truly hit every craving.

We started with the Japchae (D), and it was absolutely delicious. The glass noodles were perfectly chewy, lightly sweet, and tossed beautifully with vegetables. It had that classic balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors that makes japchae so comforting.

The Bulgogi (beef) was incredibly flavorful. The beef was tender, well-marinated, and grilled just right. It had that perfect smoky-sweet taste that makes bulgogi a must-order every time.

The Kimmari were crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful glass noodles inside. Dipping them in soy sauce made them even better — crunchy, savory, and addictive.

For appetizers, the Padak stood out. The chicken was crispy and juicy, topped with fresh scallions and a light sauce that added just the right kick without overpowering the crunch.

The Kimchi Jjigae was warm, hearty, and full of depth. The broth had that bold fermented kimchi flavor with a spicy edge that made it incredibly comforting.

The Kimchi Fried Rice was another highlight — smoky, savory, and perfectly balanced. Each bite had just the right amount of tangy kimchi flavor.

To drink, I tried Milkis, which was sweet, creamy, and refreshing — a fun Korean classic. I also had a bottle of Terra, a crisp Korean beer that paired perfectly with the rich and spicy dishes.

Overall, everything felt authentic, flavorful, and satisfying. The variety of textures — crispy, chewy, tender, and brothy — made the meal exciting from start to finish. I would definitely come back to try even more dishes.“

“We just chanced upon this lovely chic place out of desperation. We were suppose to have our dinner at the nearby K-Pot at Albee Sq/Street. Walking-in at K-Pot they sat us down, and cheekily without informing us properly, they wanted us to wait for more than an hour for a table?! So we googled for an alternative and through divine intervention was led to this promised restaurant. Straight away was sat and ordered. We were kinda new to their system and how the bundles worked on their menu. To be honest, it was quite pricy to our expectation but it was truly well worth it! Delicious food! Cozy and elegant atmosphere! The friendliest staff!!“

“Both the hot pot and the BBQ are excellent. I recommend coming when you are hungry to take advantage of the all-you-can-eat nature of the menu. The staff is friendly and can help with any questions if you are new to this style of eating. Men's restroom was a little gross, but it looks like they have a decent cleaning schedule and the issue could have been the guy before me had poor aim.“

“My favorite Korean restaurant in the neighborhood. Usually always order from here. Favorite is dukboki and I keep trying different entrees. Yesterday went in had Galbi tang which was rich and nourishing. The meat was tender and the broth incredibly flavorful.“

“Tiger Box is a bright spot in a part of town that doesn't have many restaurants. Korean food in particular can be hard to find, but Tiger Box is my new favorite for sure. I had the sundubu jjigae, a perfectly spicy stew of tofu and pork. Sai the owner clearly knows what she is doing. I haven't had a jjigae that good since I lived in LA's Koreatown.“

“Absolutely loved this place! Just had the most delicious bibimbap and Korean fried chicken, along with some very good cocktails. The price is extremely reasonable for such high quality food. On top of that the ambiance is nice- I ended up staying here long after the food was gone because it was so pleasant. The owner was very warm and kind and generous. Will be back soon!“

“I've picked up a quick lunch and also end of day 'too good to go' meals several times over the past 6-9 months and the service is always friendly and the food fresh and delicious and always reasonably priced. I love to get 5 mini pies, assorted fillings and toppings and if you're throwing a little party or gathering, you can't go wrong with a dozen of these, warmed and cut into 3-4 pieces, it's the nicest easiest appetizer ever.“

“As a new resident to the neighborhood, this place gives me a little piece of home cooking. Good kimchi is hard to find, and most are poor imitations. Kate’s Kimchi is one of the best I’ve tried in a long time, and having it so close is brilliant. I’ve tried their Bibimbap and the Dubu Bokkum—both fantastic. If you’re like me and miss home cooking, but find it a hassle to drive into the city or to Queens, Kate’s Kitchen is a time saver. What a gem! Highly recommended. I just hope this place doesn’t get too popular.“

“The Food is good here just like the other Bon Chon's. If you love Korean style fried chicken this is the spot for you. The flavors are good and I love that they don't drown you in their sauce. This restaurant is an order at the counter style spot, there are no servers who come and take your order.“

“Great people work there Service was great“

“very nice place .enjoy the testy breakfast“

“From Minnesota to try this.... Great concept at Whole Food... Fresh and healthy... Sauces and also pickel were good with Kimbap...“

“Very good! I've been meaning to check out this place for a while, and finally got around to it a few months ago. We tried the following:
- Korean style chicken wings
- Korean style donkatsu
- Japchae
- Pork jajang myun
- Several lovely cocktails

Would definitely try it again“

“Great place, delicious food“

“Beloved place for locales“

“Their kimbap is yummy but their tuna onigiri were even yummier. I am very distraught on weekly basis that they don’t serve the tuna onigiri anymore, it was quite literally the best onigiri in the whole entire world. Even the ones I had in japan couldn’t compare. I used to come every time I had 5$ just for that tuna Mayo onigiri, I would even buy multiple at a time. I have been a loyal customer since the pandemic era. When they told me at the register that they don’t serve them anymore, a part of me died. Please…..bring them back..“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“Very good atmosphere drinks etc“

“I like their comfort foods.“

“Insane burger. Insane honey tater tots. Incredible rice cheese cakes like a blended Big Mac.“

“We came upon this restaurant accidentally and am I glad we did!!! Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, service, and that food!! Some of the best I’ve had! Will definitely come back. 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍“

“great customer service and great eats! def recommend!“

“the page contains various types of Korean food and is shared, respects comments, so good!!🥰“

“moonbowls has three vegan options which you can get as a bowl, salad, or plate: Impossible beef, crispy cauliflower, and sesame tofu bowl. It also has a special avocado bulgogi bowl. Each option, in whatever form, packs a punch. With the exception of the egg, all their sides and sauces are vegan. Also carries Sweet Loren’s edible cookie dough and edible brownie for dessert. Operates out of the Doordash ghost kitchen with only a pickup or delivery options. It’s on the pricey side but a good lunch option if you want something different from the usual and want to treat yourself.“

“As a Korean, I approve this place! I get their food delivered whenever I miss my mom’s food. Their food feels like they make it with love and care. The quality is great and every dish I’ve tried was amazing. Their Galbitang was beyond my expectations. I wanna eat Ms.ohho’s food every day!!!!!“

“Top 3 k fried chicken I’ve had in my life! Excited to try Sweetie’s after trying Peeps a few weeks ago. The wings were fried to perfection. Didn’t have that double fried (wet coat?) crunch like the heyday of BonChon about 20 years ago but it was a pleasant crunch nonetheless. I would say the crunch is close to what you would imagine Kentucky Fried Chicken’s would taste like based on the picture but unlike that KFC there is no disappointment! Sweetie’s has a nice combination of crunch that also crumbles softly.

My kid got the tteokbokki and it was a very decent sized portion for the price. Good flavor, they didn’t skimp on the sauce, and the rice cakes were not over/under cooked!

Theo rice bowls and jap chae both looked good but will have to wait till next time to actually taste them“

“Really delicious!!
I usually eat at the one in ktown but i was too tired to go there and so tried this one cause it was closer.......
1000/10 would recommend fr 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
got the honey garlic wings and it was so well seasoned
and juicy
I definitely will be ordering from here again“

“Love it great service will be back i really recomendit“

“Best flower selection in the neighborhood to customize and pick a variety of floral arrangements. The market is solid too - the Korean food (wings, bimbimbap rolls, kimchi soup) and snacks are delicious! Really great service and owned by an even better family!“

“The lady at the front desk now is super pretty and nice, and has a great attitude. The drinks made by the tea making lady are also delicious every time.
However, there is a strong smell of cigarette smoke every time I come here. The smell of smoke wafts in after the staff smokes, and it lingers for a long time, which is very unfriendly to pregnant women and children.“

“I was here last week for a food event/car show(?). The line and wait to get inside was not all too bad minus the stray rain showers that came down once in a while. Food was amazing but the venue itself was not well ventilated so I had to catch myself going outside after a short while.“

“I’m so glad I found you AGAIN! I used to come here during the pandemic, and this place is truly a gem. The food is absolutely delicious—I’d grab something to go and walk to the beach. I shared this spot with so many friends and honestly couldn’t stop talking about it. It was such a sad day when I thought it had closed, because this place is so special.

Years later, I just learned you’re still open! Too bad I’ve since moved to the West Coast, but I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in NYC. This isn’t just about amazing food—it’s a cultural experience like no other. Please keep warming our hearts with your delicious dishes and unforgettable atmosphere.“

“Mochick Tea in Dyker Heights is a hidden gem! 🍵✨ Their mochi donuts are hands down the best and most authentic I’ve ever had — soft, chewy, perfectly made. I’ve tried mochi donuts from so many places, and now I can confidently say nothing compares to these.

Their onigiri is fresh and flavorful, the grilled chicken bento is delicious and filling, and their bubble tea is spot-on every time. The quality here is incredible across the board.

If you love Japanese treats, bentos, and bubble tea, you absolutely need to try Mochick Tea. You’ll be hooked!“

“Try it you’ll like I’m guarantee“

“I’ve never actually eaten inside Slow Loris, but it’s become one of my most reliable spots in Flatbush for takeout and delivery. What I like the most about this Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant is that you can order something different every time and still be happy with what shows up. Consistency is the key word here.

Over multiple orders, I’ve tried a wide range of dishes: Cream Cheese Roll, Japanese Ramen, Korean Ramen, J-Bao, Kani Salad, Bi Bim Bap, Shrimp and Potato, Bulgogi Fried Rice, and Chicken Katsu. Some are stronger than others, but nothing’s been disappointing.

The Bulgogi Fried Rice is my go-to—it’s hearty, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. The beef has that perfect sweet-savory balance, and the seasoning runs through every bite. The J-Bao are dangerously easy to demolish: soft, fluffy buns with rich, flavorful fillings. The Chicken Katsu travels surprisingly well, staying crispy even after delivery, which is no small feat. When I’m in the mood for sushi without overthinking it, the Cream Cheese Roll always hits the spot, and the Kani Salad makes a nice, refreshing side.

Both ramens are comforting and flavorful, though like most takeout ramen, they can’t quite match the dine-in version—heat and texture are just tough to preserve in transit.

Delivery can take a while, especially on busy nights—I’ve waited around 45 minutes at times—but the food quality makes up for it. The menu is huge, which is great if you like variety but tough if you’re indecisive. Still, it’s impressive how consistently good everything tastes, even after travel.

Slow Loris is one of those neighborhood spots that quietly gets everything right. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the fusion of Japanese and Korean dishes feels natural rather than forced. It’s comfort food done well, perfect for a cozy night in.

Order ahead if you’re getting delivery, try the J-Bao, and definitely don’t skip the Bulgogi Fried Rice and Bi Bim Bap.“

“10/10 everything. I went here with my girlfriend and her sister and as soon as we left she wanted to go back. The food was amazing, honestly some of the best Korean food i've ever had, the customer service was great, they made me feel welcome and they were kind. This restaurant is really a 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone who wants to try some Korean to-go snacks.“
