Found this place on Instagram and make a trip there in Saturday evening. It wasn’t busy by the time I get there and I like the interior decoration which is pretty cool. If you like taking photos, this place has pretty nice spots and corner for you. I order soju from their happy hour, I think it 2for15 or buy 1get1 not quite sure 🙈 The food was amazing, We enjoy them very much. The service is lovely.

Came here with a bunch of friends. Vibe is cool. Menu is small. Games available. Good atmosphere but the food was just pretty good. Missing the edge to get 5 stars. Final verdict is I would go back and maybe they’ll change my mind for a future review.

Great service, lovely outdoor seating. Appetizers are good, however don't settle for the customer favorites on the menu. The Kansho Poppers were alright (I ordered the shrimp). The real winner were the corn ribs. Inspired me to give a go at creating them during the next backyard bbq I host. I will say that the dipping sauce they provided for the corn ribs was nothing to write home about. Maybe commit to the flavors profile add a little bit more of a zang? Or add a good bit of spice to give the mayo base something to counteract? Either would be a nice addition to the otherwise fantastic opener. I ordered the KBBQ spare ribs with the intent of munching on them at home after I had digested a bit more of the two appraisers. I haven't had a taste as of yet, but good golly one wiff of the to-go bag had my stomach yearning for more food to be shoveled in ASAP.

Take out review: Good Korean option in Greenpoint, so glad this place fills the void of solid Korean spots in the area. Wanted to eat indoors but decided to order to-go when I realized that only 1 employee seemed to be working both indoor and outdoor tables PLUS the take out counter, then I figured after walking 20 minutes here there was no turning back. Korean fried chicken sandwich was good but very heavy even with coleslaw to lighten it up. Very tasty but probably should have saved half for later. Brioche bun was fresh but very large and dense, plus the sweet glaze/honey-like sauce took it over the top for me. Black sesame shake was not worth $9, definitely save your money for a makgeolli or cocktail instead. Seems the cocktails here are decent, worth dining indoors for hopefully at a busier time when more staff are present.

I really enjoyed the indoor atmosphere. Cozy, and bright. The staff were friendly and efficient. My fried chicken sandwich was a little plain and dry, however, my mom really enjoyed the kimchi fried rice.

We were excited to eat at this Michelin-rated Bib Gourmand restaurant. Sadly, we didn’t think the food we had deserved the rating. The Jja Jang noodles didn’t have much taste and the Summer Salad Bibim bowl was just slightly better. Oh, also the bingsoo was served up in a cup! Did Michelin try only a couple of dishes before giving the rating? Tsk. Tsk.

What a delight! I came in not knowing what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. Two appetizers and a main dish was enough for the two of us. Everything was fantastic. Meat fell off the spare ribs with a flick of the chopsticks paired with a nice selection of toppings as a part of the BBQ Platter, the chicken poppers were crunchy with a delicious sauce, and the beef dumplings were very tasty. Good Soju selection. We'll be back!

Wow what a GEM in BK! An amazing interpretation of Korean cuisine. While retaining traditional aspects. Everything from the food, drinks, and service was amazing. I loved the decor too, i think it really suits BK. Can't wait to go back!
