This Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded spot in Greenpoint offers a cozy vibe with cool decor, delicious Korean fusion dishes, and refreshing cocktails.
"If you want to say sorry for getting drunk and dominating the conversation by talking about Alex Trebek’s successor, you could write an apology card. Or you could show up at your friend’s door with a box of glazed cakes. On Saturday, July 10th, Brooklyn-based pastry chef Joy Cho will be selling boxes of mini sour cream-bundt cakes called gem cakes at Gentle Perch in East Williamsburg from 2-5pm. You can choose between a whole variety of glazes for the cakes, including misgaru, passionfruit, matcha, yuja, black sesame, and strawberry milk, and pick up things like cookies and sweet rice flour fudge brownies while you’re at it. Check out Joy Cho’s gem cakes and past offerings on her website. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"The style is Korean but with a playful edge. Think fried rice cakes submerged in a cheesy kimchi sauce or smoky bacon-studded fried rice. It’s all meant for sharing, unless you’re here just for a bowl of ramyun." - The MICHELIN Guide
