Went for a lunch hang out and I loved it. I can’t wait to go back. Service was attentive but also we didn’t feel rushed. I got Brooklyn sushi combo and it was delicious cuts. I can’t wait to go back

I’ve been to Slow Loris a few times before writing this review, and overall, I’d give it three stars. The food is decent but uneven. The bibimbap is pretty good, fresh and well-balanced, but nothing exceptional. The miso soup, however, is horrible. It always tastes metallic, like metal leached into it, and is quite diluted, lacking the depth and richness you’d expect. It could be over-boiled or the result of bad/toxic cookware.

Flavors overall are average; not bad, but not amazing either. Another issue is the wait time. Service is friendly but consistently slow, and both seating and food take longer than they should. Maybe that’s part of the branding with “Slow” in their name, after all. Slow Loris has a few strong dishes but needs improvement in both execution and service to reach its full potential.

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!
