I'm no expert on Korean food but I do know delicious and this place definitely hit the mark. Upon walking into the place I knew it was going to be a good experience. The staff were super friendly and also helpful with food selection which I needed. The restaurant has a light and airy feel to it with a nice layout with an ability to accommodate smaller groups. The bar seating is a great choice if you're on your own or with a friend. The make all types of cocktails and have a nice selection of beers including some Korean options. The food menu offers some classic Korean dishes from what I learned. I went with the Spicy Squid Bibimbap for my main. Before that came out they brought me a free appetizer which hit the spot. I'm not certain what it all was but I didn't leave much behind. Apparently this is one of three locations. I really hope to be back again in the future. Enjoy!!

I ordered 2 dishes for takeout, the Prime Beef Short Rib Steak @$43.99 and Beef Bulgogi Fried Rice @$22.99. Although the steak was tender and cooked perfectly, it needed more seasoning. The fried rice also needed extra seasoning but both were still good. After seeing all the great reviews I had high hopes but the meal fell a little short, at least in my opinion. But I do look forward to trying some more of their dishes and hopefully I will be able to give them a 4 star review or better.

This place was soo good! Everything was clean and delicious! The presentation amazing and the amount of food great as well! Everything is so flavorful and i couldn’t stop looking at everyone’s plates and orders. It was great! Smelled amazing! I wanted a bite of everyone’s food at every table but one person can eat and order only so much! Can’t wait to try it again next time and other stuff on the menu!

The tip percentage was a tad high; the sitting arrangement was actually very nice put together. Lovely young personnel!

I did not expect the ambiance to be so classy/cozy - perfect for date night We came on a rainy Saturday craving some tummy warming soup and were not disappointed! Their side dishes were pretty good - I love the kabocha pumpkin, which I haven't seen before as a banchan at korean restaurants The kimchi pork jjigae was so flavorful, perfectly paired with the purple rice. We also ordered bossam, which did not disappoint - I love bossam and this was perfectly soft and moist, a perfect bite with the kimchi and garlic. The kimchi was a bit too fishy for my taste but with the bossam, it was less noticeable. The grilled chicken was really tasty and not dry at all! The service was good but I wish the way they went about boxing leftovers was different - either bring all the dishes back inside to be boxed by the staff or ask if we would like to box it ourselves - the way they box it for us at the table makes it feel less mannerly in my opinion. I am so glad to find a korean restaurant closer to me that serves more classic dishes! Perfect for a date night!
Ordered a pick-up order which was quickly and thoughtfully prepared. The Beef Tofu Stew and Banchan were fresh, flavorful and very comforting--perfect for this chilly night. The restaurant staff were very welcoming and the restaurant is vibey, I will definitely come back to eat in and try other items on the menu.

It was our first time here and I didn't realize there are 2 other locations (LIC, Williamsburg). Stepping in, it is a very clean place with long corridor of tables and chairs. The plates and utensils have a uniqueness to it which is very inviting. My son got the beef bulogi fried rice while my wife had the grilled mackerel with rice and I had the fried shrimp chi bap which came over rice and picked vegetables. All of our dishes tasted amazing and decently priced. Also for starters, they bought out 5 different kinds of appetizers with free refills. We also were served complimentary hot tea. Lastly, the service and all the wait staffs are top notch. All in all, we enjoyed our time and would definitely go back for sure.

Kuku Restaurant: A Feast for the Senses - Korean Delights & Creative Cocktails Kuku Restaurant offers a delightful journey through Korean cuisine, complete with a vibrant bar featuring unique and interesting cocktails. A Culinary Adventure: Japchae: This classic Korean glass noodle dish was particularly impressive, likely boasting the perfect balance of savory flavors and textures. Seafood Pancake: Crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful seafood, this dish was a crowd-pleaser. Fried Chicken Wings: A classic done right, delivering the satisfying crunch and savory flavors expected. Grilled Mackerel: This dish offered a delightful surprise. The mackerel was expertly prepared, making it enjoyable even for those who may not typically choose it. Beyond the delicious food: Service: Friendly and attentive, making the dining experience enjoyable. Ambience: Pleasant and inviting, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Cocktail Delights: The extensive bar boasts a variety of unique and interesting cocktails, offering an exciting addition to your dining experience.
