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.

This place has become a staple for me and my wife. We love the Chicken Bokum, Takoyaki, and the Bao Buns. A fantastic cozy spot perfect for a lowkey date night!

Did I expect to walk in and be greeted by the sounds of Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, and Richard Marx? Nope. But it was well received and totally set the vibe for me as I browsed the menu.
With a bottle of soju, I ordered the crispy hone chicken wings and the japche with beef. The wings were solid (yes, you can mess up a chicken wing). I really enjoyed the pickled radish that came with it. The japche also proved to be quite enjoyable, the beef quite flavorful. Because of the portions, I wound up taking a few wings + a solid amount of japche home.
The server was a bit too attentive but, all in all, this was one of the better dining experiences I've had in the area in some time. I also love how close it is to Record City on Fenmore.

I really enjoyed the food here! The chicken katsu is super delicious. If you order the sauce on the side, it stays more crunchy and tastes even better. Highly recommend!

I ordered the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken, and it was amazing! It wasn’t too spicy or too sweet — just the perfect balance. I really loved it!

Truly felt the soul of Korean comfort food here—what an unforgettable experience.
From the manager’s thoughtful hospitality to the kitchen team’s attention to detail, I was honestly blown away.
If you’re in New York, or planning a trip, this spot is an absolute must.
Flavors, vibes, and service—everything came together for a perfect night. 💖

The lady did NOT follow instructions, I specifically told her not to give me any raw food, but she totally disregarded and gave it to me anyway. I even saw a dead parasite in one of the sushi’s. I asked for an exchange or refund and they would give me anything. Would NOT recommend

We came here for a Sunday dinner with our 2 kids, they talked like most kids, of course at times they got too excited and might be little louder but definitely not at screaming level. Then there's the waitress came over and told us to keep our kids quieter. We immediately told our kids to be quiet thinking maybe this was an extremely quiet restaurant.
Then there were more people coming making really loud nice, like really loud that made my head turned. Husband and I were upset because the same waitress DID NOT say anything to other tables. We turned out to be the quietest customer in the restaurant, with us totally turned off for a Sunday night. So this would be our first and last time to the restaurant. Not recommending this restaurant for familes.

I’ve given this place two chances now, and unfortunately I won’t be ordering again. Both times, the wait was excessive and our most recent order took 1 hour and 15 minutes to arrive, even though the restaurant is only 5 minutes from our apartment.
I could overlook the delay if the food was worth it, but sadly it isn’t. The jjajang had a grainy texture instead of the smooth, savory sauce you’d expect, and the shrimp tempura wasn’t really tempura at all, it was just hard fried shrimp under the name of tempura.
While the location is convenient, the combination of long wait times and disappointing food just doesn’t justify the price.
PS. By the time the food finally arrived, I was so hungry I didn’t even think to take pictures.

The food here is good, but the delivery service is consistently slow. Unfortunately, the wait times have also made me hesitant to pick up orders in person. I would recommend eating here in person. I truly want to enjoy this place more often as my meals are delicious!

Taaaaasty tasty food. Wow, wow, wow. I am a big fan of their kimchi and scallion pancakes and an even bigger fan of their galbis, both beef AND pork. The pancakes are always crispy and flavorful with a really nice sauce (I think soy sauce with citrus? I don't know what it's called but it is surprisingly great paired with the pancakes), and the galbis are always heavenly and juicy. The galbis come out on a steaming plate with kimchi and some vegetables and rice, and it's just a home run every single time. I've really only had the best experiences here. Service is fantastic as well. Great atmosphere. Great drink selections, both alcoholic and NA (found out about Milkis through them!) I couldn't speak to their takeout, but I do wish I lived closer so I could order everyday... but every time I go to Prospect Park I always make sure to stop by. Until next time!
