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.

I stopped by this spot on a long weekend afternoon, a little past the peak lunch rush. Inside, the vibe was relaxed — a few people were hanging out with coffee, chatting with friends, or working on their laptops. I liked the easygoing atmosphere and decided to settle in for lunch.
I ordered a Korean fried chicken sandwich with a side of gochujang fries. The service was on the slower side, but I didn’t mind since I was just enjoying the downtime. The staff was friendly, and one of them mentioned the kitchen was closing soon, so they served my food in a takeout box instead of a plate. It didn’t bother me, and the portion size was generous — enough that I took some leftovers home.
The fries were okay: crisp but under-seasoned, and the gochujang topping didn’t really deliver much heat or flavor. The sandwich, on the other hand, was excellent. The chicken breast was well-seasoned, perfectly battered, and fried (though a touch greasy). What really made it stand out were the condiments and the pickled radish, which added brightness and balance. It was hearty, filling, and satisfying.
Overall, this place has a laid-back atmosphere and serves good food. I’d definitely return and would recommend it to others.

small menu; cozy vibes well done. i enjoy their matcha & chai lattes, one of the few cafes in the neighborhood with lavender syrup so i’m there often. the gochugaru fries were ‘finished before first bite of sandwich’ worthy. the padak sandwich was delicious, great layering of flavors in each bite. i’d order again.

The pork belly Do Shi Rak was so good, especially with the Japchae. Some of the best Japchae I have ever had.

Been a regular here for a long time, I think at this point I’ve tried everything on the menu— you can’t go wrong! Everything is delicious, priced fairly, and made with love :) Owner Taeil Kim is super passionate and has assembled an amazing staff around him *10 of 10!*

Im sorry I have no photos to share. Personally, I would not come back. The portion for lunch (dont know about dinner) was very small and the beef ordered tasted old. I was able to eat it but it tasted on the older side. Did not taste fresh at all. The picked cucumber were okay to say the least.
The place has a cafe vibe but there are like no outlets if your phone or computer needs a change (maybe one I saw).
Incredible chicken sandwich, I cannot stress this enough. Cooked perfectly, well-balanced seasoning, korean flavors nestled comfortably against the selected bun. THE FRIES WERE IMMACULATE, TRUST!

this place is decent for a quick bite!, I paid $13 for a breakfast burrito but the flavor... I could have made at home the only saving grace on it was the kimchi ketchup . Also the matcha latte I got was all milk so a bit flavorless. Their bulgogi beef bowl didn't have a lot of bulgogi it was mostly rice but there was decent flavor. Their interior was a big bare so there was a huge echo making it kinda super loud in there from all the sound just bouncing off the wall. Overall if you just need a quick bite sure give it a try !

Great place for some Korean-Mexican fusion food. The day we came, the place was out of a lot of dishes, so it was a bit disappointing trying to order as almost everything we wanted to try was out. I believe for about 4 dishes we tried to order, the waiter told us they were out. I also think the place is new so service was pretty slow, but the food is definitely good. I think over time the restaurant will sort out the kinks, and will come back and try the place when things are smoother.
We were able to order the kimchi fried rice and the fusion quesadillas, both of which were amazing. Korean-Mexican fusion is something that is wonderful in Los Angeles, and I'm glad it has found its way to New York. Definitely recommend coming here to try any of the fusion food, and I'm sure some of the more classical dishes are good based off the ones we tried.
The space itself has music videos playing constantly, almost seems like at night the place turns into a party space.
