Why does it cost $3 to replace beef with tofu or kimchi in the bibimbap? Makes no sense

My boyfriend and I ordered dinner from Taste Korea because I was feeling homesick and wanted Korean food. The soups were okay. The brown rice smelled so off putting I lost my entire appetite. The brown rice was inedible. Next time smell the rice before you send it through DoorDash.

Solid Korean food in Bed Stuy / Clinton Hill. Likely one of the only options here as well.

The Hot Stone Bibimbap was great, especially w/ the added bulgogi. I enjoyed the rice crunch. The Mandu Guk was also good too, a familiar dish for most Koreans. I liked it better than some places in Flushing, where other restaurants add a lot of black pepper. This broth was great on a cold day. The Topokki was standard, they all taste quite similar.

Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the portions are quite large. I wouldn’t recommend getting a starter, we couldn’t finish all our food because we were so full. Good food !

Way better than expected.

I'm a NY native and I've tried a lot of Korean food before. I have Cho Dang Gol almost once a month. I've tried Jungsik, Kisa, Tosokchon, Miss Korea, Kunjip, Olle, Her Name is Han etc...

I went to Korea 3 times this year, for a total of 3 months in Seoul, Daegu, Busan, Jeju, Gyeongju, so at this point I feel like I can say you can trust my opinion on Korean cuisine at least a little bit.

And what I think is, honestly, this may be the best Korean food in Brooklyn, and second best in the whole city only beaten by Chodanggol, which is saying a lot.

The food tastes nice and clean, showing that the cooking was done with care and good technique. The flavors actually reminded me of the same dishes from popular local restaurants in Seoul.

I would recommend the
- Hot Stone Bibimbap (Bulgogi)
- Sundubu Stew (Pork)

I also think eating in would be far better than takeout just so your food can be eaten at the ideal temperature and texture.

Definitely should give it a try!

Came tonight and was seated immediately. They have many drink options.

The wings were mediocre. Not enough soy garlic flavor.

Black bean noodles were bland.

Seafood pancake was extremely thick and doughy.

Kalbi was okay but definitely not worth the $32.

Kimbap was okay but not great. Average.

Bonchons were absolutely delicious.

*EDIT: do not come. Stomach virus after. Threw up.

I've been eating at Taste Korea for 7ish years, and the quality hasnt once decreased! Their banchan are flavorful and frequently rotate, tonight we had extra ripe kimchi, braised potatoes, braised lotus root, and pickled radish, which were all so good that we asked for more of everything. The hot stone bibimbap is my personal favorite menu item, followed by the ttok mandu guk soup. This is probably the best resturant in the neighborhood and I highly reccomend it!

Found a Korean restaurant in Bed Stuy, no Instagram account, that is better than anything I've had in Manhattan Koreatown?
