Sonbul brings a taste of LA-style Korean comfort food to Bed-Stuy, serving up bibimbap, fried chicken, and Korean breakfast burritos with a cozy vibe.
"Korean Sonbul Cafe lost $5000 the first month it opened due to scammers posing as his electric company and threatening to cut off service. Following a GoFundMe launched earlier this month, the restaurant has recouped the entire amount. “I felt very vulnerable and very uncertain at that point in time,” owner Taeli Kim told Brooklyn Paper. “ ...Everyone’s really pulled through for me in a way that I didn’t expect. I feel very blessed and very grateful ....”" - Melissa McCart
"Sonbul is a Korean pop-up that has made frequent appearances at Burly Coffee in Bed-Stuy over the past year. Now, things are becoming more permanent—on Wednesday-Sunday evenings you can head to this coffee shop-turned Korean spot for bibimbap, fried chicken, and soju cocktails. " - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
