Finally a Korean restaurant in the neighborhood (bonus points for being great). Ample seating and attentive service. Stone pot bibimbap is excellent! Fried chicken is good but not quite Bonchon level
- Connie ChiuAugust 8, 2014The fried chicken is good but not quite the same as bonchon chicken. The sashimi bap was surprisingly good! They also offered us complimentary raspberry rice wine.
Crisel MontserrathJanuary 19, 2015The bbq squid was amazing!!! Japchae and soondubu jiggae was also really delicious!
Hiroko TabuchiMay 13, 2018We left after 50 minutes, bc no sign of our food. Other tables did the same. Avoid this restaurant.
DavidSeptember 5, 2014Not to be mistaken with Momofuku Ssäm Bar. The fried chicken (gluten-free option) is pretty good.
Danny SalvatoriMarch 17, 2019Food is good but not amazing. Space is huge so awesome for groups. Ambience is nice but a little sloppy. Overall I feel like a 7/10 is fair.
Kimberely ChengAugust 13, 2014Good fried chicken. Different from Boka. Banchan was okay but service was great. Hope it does well!- Daniel BarnettOctober 21, 2014Sashimi rice bowl is too fresh to deal with. Fresh like deliciousness. Service was so kind I'd return just for the people. Ordered their signature BBQ chicken which was is a bit dry but very tasty.
Shyam PanchalJuly 31, 2018Do not eat here! Chicken wings were cold, ramen was missing any pork belly, and they got our order totally wrong, and the manager refused to make amends. Awful food, awful service...avoid!
David HoffmanMay 17, 2018The stone rice bowls in any combination are amazing! Fresh, delicious, nutritious, filling and sizzling hot to the very last bite! Best lunch in Brooklyn!- David HoffmanJune 12, 2018The Dolsot is simply amazing. Delicious and sizzling hot to the last bite!
Kevin DavisNovember 5, 2017Authentic & delicious. Def coming back. Owner was SO sweet!! Amazing service.
