42 Best Korean Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Absolutely spectacular cuisine 😍“

“Every neighborhood should have a cute neighborhood home-cooking spot like BigNorm. The cozy interior is decorated with the owner's crafts and artwork. I enjoyed a leisurely dinner and chat with the owner. Tho it's a small space and only a few high stools, if you're not in a rush it's relaxing to sit and street-watch. The owner takes a lot of care to prepare good food and the menu has fun things that you'd enjoy like when going home for the weekend. Thanks for a pleasant visit!“

“Incredible food, impeccable service. Came in without realizing they close in the middle of the day for change over and was still sat and served and wasn’t rushed at all. It was a perfect hearty and healthy meal on a rainy day. Kimchi was some of the best I’ve had.“

“BEST restaurant I've EVER been to in my life. Literally had me in a choke hold. I came from Florida to visit NY around May and stumbled in with my friend. Ever since then I could never forget them 😭 the staff are so sweet too. I'm coming back Namdo, just you wait. Please open up another shop in South Florida 🙏 I'll pay top dollar for that recipe too“

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

“The service was phenomenal. The waitress and waitor were very patient and accommodating. The waitress took hints really well. One of the best experiences I had with service.

The beef broth was amazing, rich and creamy but very smooth. It was one of the best broth I had. The rice and the beef were mediocre.“

“I ordered a poke bowl and the salmon was basically frozen. I could taste the ice as I chewed. Other than that, the food was good and the place is nice. There is never anyone at the register, and while I was waiting for my food, I witnessed several other people come in and tried to yell to the back to ask if anyone could come to the counter. I did not see anyone respond, so customers just picked up bags off the shelf and left.“

“Love this place!!! We come for dinner on the regular. Chill ambiance, delicious food, friendly service, and good Korean beers (in cute chilled glasses).

Favorites: Padak (fried chicken w scallions), kimmari, tteok-bok-ki. The bibimbap with bulgogi and a fried egg is also great.

If you like banana flavor, they make a really nice banana milk latte during the day.“

“I’ve been craving for home cooked meal and this hit the spot. It felt like a mom and pop shop and I saw a couple in the kitchen and I knew it would be great. I took one star off sinceJjampong seems a little too concentrated and the price is on the high side. It came out to $50 for two entrees.

Nevertheless, I highly recommend for some home cooked korean meal when in the area!“

“Lovely owner. I can’t believe I missed out on their fried chicken for so long. I loved the soy garlic sauce. The chicken was so juicy. The miso soup, white rice, and coleslaw were also great. Highly recommend visiting! I’ll be back.“

“I enjoyed myself at this Korean BBQ spot, I went to have dinner and you pick your cut of meat based on your price preference and sides. They cook it korean style so you don't have too. They are a lot of options of dried seaweed, chick peas, kimichi, mashed pumpkin, water cress, pickled cucumber amongst other things to eat. My total bill was $78 including one cocktail.“

“Kimchi Kooks is a neighborhood gem. Fresh, flavorful, healthy banchan. There is a rotating set of options and a solid line up of mainstays. Also a reliable spot to grab a takeout lunch. I’ve gone many times and always had good experiences.“

“Great place, delicious food“

“Beloved place for locales“

“Great people work there Service was great“

“We stumbled upon Tiger Box when we were looking for a lunch spot near Fort Greene Park, and I'm so glad we did! We ordered the pork mandoo, pork ssam box, and bulgogi bibimbap, and everything was incredible. The food was flavorful, fresh, and tasted authentically Korean—which can honestly be hard to find in this part of Brooklyn.

As much as we loved the food, what really stood out was our interaction with the owner. She runs the place herself and is truly the heart of the business. She was so friendly, welcoming, and somehow managed to whip up our entire order in record time. You can tell she puts a lot of care into both the food and the experience.

Tiger Box is the kind of local gem you hope to find. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by, or grabbing takeout and enjoying it in Fort Greene Park. We'll definitely be back.“

“Very good atmosphere drinks etc“

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

“Order on line to pick up at 5:30pm. Got there a little so had to wait 5 minutes to get my order. The place is one cashier and a lot of people in the kitchen. Order some mixed wings, mopo corn dog, sweet potato waffle fries, Japchae noodle and onion rings. The place was not big but have about 5 tables. The foods was ok. Guess it would be better eat at the restaurant. I would defintely come back and try other foods“

“Great lil market with all sorts of farm fresh veggies and meats from up state farms as well! They also have coffees and pastries. The market is part of the Dokebi family so they have the famous lil Dokebi burritos and tacos made fresh to order. This place is suberb having everything from steaks from grass fed local cows, to farm fresh produce to hot steamy dishes!“

“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. 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍“

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

“very nice place .enjoy the testy breakfast“

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

“TLDR: Great Korean fried chicken shop in Greenpoint. Spicy crispy wings and definitely try a Korean corn dog.

I was curious to try a few spots in Greenpoint and this was one of them. The chicken is fried fresh so you do need to wait a bit but who doesn't want their chicken made to order?

I'm not a corn dog person at all but I did try the half/half with the potato coating. It was still hot from the fry and the cheese pull on the mozzarella half was very impressive. The beef hot dog half was also good as well. It's finished with powder sugar (as it's mean to be) and it all works pretty well together. Grabbed one for the wife and she was very happy with it.

I ordered the crispy spicy wings and these were very enjoyable. There are not many Korean chicken shops that do this style. I prefer mine sauceless and the battery has a nice kick to it. The skin is crunchy and the chicken is juicy and VERY HOT.

Brought some wings back home and air-fried them the next day, still very delicious. Definitely would check out again if I'm in the area.“

“Kuun (Korean Restaunt) is located near a place we've stayed several times in Brooklyn. Our party of four found the food, service, and atmosphere to be 5 stars. We loved our dinner here and plan to visit again on our next visit to the area.“

“I like their comfort foods.“

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

“Very enjoyable experience here in Brooklyn. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality and freshness. The different sauces were excellent, especially because each one had its own character without being too heavy. The atmosphere was lively, clean, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive even when it was busy. A great place if you want very good Korean fried chicken. Definitely a spot I would recommend and visit again.“

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

“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!“

“Today, we had a family gathering, so we submitted 10 servings of fresh bulgogi and made it like at K Town for a party. It was more delicious and hearty than the bulgogi I had in Hangu. Next time, we ordered some LA ribs and had a barbecue in the backyard. My friend also promised to have the next party with their friends from Washington. They ordered a lot of kimchi, cucumber kimchi, kimchi fried rice, and kimbap, and the guests were very satisfied. It seems like a new chef is quite capable.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Try it you’ll like I’m guarantee“

“This place has AMAZING rice balls/onigiri. Their bubble tea is delicious as well as their Boba. Worth every single dollar and cent! The spicy mayo has such an incredible and crave worthy flavor!!! I usually don't like it but now regret only getting one onigiri with it.“

“I had a very positive experience at Eddie Fancy Food and am giving it a 4-star rating! The food and service were both standouts, each earning a solid 4 stars. The atmosphere was also good, earning a 3-star rating. It’s a great spot for a quality meal with friendly service!“

“10/10 across the board! Not only was the service absolutely amazing, but the food was even better. The cashier and the person making the food were extremely friendly, welcoming, and super accommodating. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommend Kim’s Korean Corn Dogs — we’ll definitely be back! 🌭✨“

“really, really enjoyed this place. sushi sounded great on a hot day after walking through the garden but wanted something more filling, so i opted for a poke bowl. it was presented beautifully, and i wish i took a picture but i couldn't help but dig in. extremely fair price given the quality and amount of food. service was superb and i will definitely come back after any more prospect park / botanical gardens explorations.“
