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.

I love stopping by this cafe in the mornings. My coffee is always solid and consistent, definitely some of the best coffee in the area. You can tell the baristas really know what they’re doing. I’ll usually hang out for a couple hours early in the morning to get some work done, and it’s always quiet and a good vibe. I’ve had the food a few times too and it’s always been tasty!

That’s Pretty Good
Food is great; a cool, clean, rustic fusion twist on Korean cuisine that’s unapologetic yet mindful about the spice levels on their items. The service is impeccable and leaves nothing to be desired. An absolute mainstay for the neighborhood and, without a doubt, a great little spot to visit if in the area.

Wonderful little restaurant - food came out quickly, hot, fresh, and delicious! The kimchi seasoned fries were incredible, and the jjigae was warm, spicy, and hit the spot! Would definitely come back to try their lunch and coffee. Highly recommend!

I’ve been here multiple times and brought multiple people!!! My go to order is the kimchi stew with rice and bulgogi. The soup itself is very affordable but the add ons make it up to $20 which is not ideal, as kimchi jjigae order doesn’t include rice and if you want rice, you have to get it as an extra. My friends tried the big sandwich that comes with one of the biggest creamiest fries. The sandwich itself is pretty decent with decent amount of flavors. We also loved the ttaekbokki. Ttaekbokki here has more of a spicier flavor with plenty rice cakes and udon. I always end up with runny nose after eating it lol (ig thats how you know it’s good food). The sonbul is also pretty good, I suggest ordering it on cold days alongside with ttaekbokki. The soup itself is bland and goes perfectly with super spicy ttawkbokki!

Easy 5 star. Local vibes, busy but the folks behind bar get it done fast and the way you want it every time. Food, coffee, baristas, everything's dialed to 100/100 and great.

I want to support but don’t keep coffee on the menu in bedstuy if an iced matcha latte can come to $8. This is more than I pay even in manhattan near Madison square park. Also the staff’s never been friendly. Probably bc the stuff is so expensive so many probably aren’t encouraged to also leave a tip. I still left one. So $9 for a coffee in bedstuy. Guessing rents pricy. But don’t put that on your customers in a community like this. Was reminded why I only come here once a year since I’ve lived nearby. When it was burly it was somewhat affordable. Still rude staff. Figure out how to make this accessible and fair. This is laughable
Good coffee, servers are definitely not the nicest :( both times I’ve been I’ve had dismissive service, weird looks, and it makes me not want to return. It’s a shame because the chai is great!

Great place for casual korean! The food is excellent and the vibes are chill. Watch katseye music videos and eat some excellent jigae and fried chicken. Apparently it’s great for breakfast too!

Super delicious and comforting. Banchan are not complementary but they’re very reasonably priced and there’s a wide selection! There’s ample seating as well, and it’s a lovely vibe.

this is probably the second time i have ever had to write a review on google but this feels too much like a scam to let it go.
We ordered the kimchi chigae, kimchi fried rice, and japchae.
the kimchi chigae does not come with rice and isn’t mentioned anywhere that it isn’t (this is unusual for chigae as it a food that is intended to be paired with rice) but okay i would have ordered a side of rice if i had to… but then the food is nowhere close to what they advertise on the menu as you can see in the picture i posted below.. the soup also comes in a pint container and not the usual 32oz and it only has few pieces of kimchi /tofu and nothing else.
even then if the chigae itself is edible and somewhat tasty it might be forgivable and i’d try to understand and blame the “recession”
but the broth tastes nothing like a chigae has no flavor other than a hint of gochujang and gochugaru and intense sweetness of sugar water my mouth rejected it as i took my first bite…. I unfortunately have to recook it and try to fix it….. :(

One of my favorite spots in BK. The food is excellent!! The owner and staff are super welcoming and refreshingly friendly. Coffee is also excellent and it's one of the few places in the neighborhood that serves coffee/tea/matcha well into the afternoon.
