"I also mention Woorijip as an essential spot you shouldn't forget in that Korean lineup." - Eddie Huang
"Woorijip is a New York City institution, and it’s where you should head for a quick grab-and-go meal around 32nd Street. While it previously featured a buffet setup, the brightly lit space now looks like a bookstore—but instead of beach reads, the shelves are stacked with packages of satisfying, homestyle Korean food. There’s kimbap, fried chicken, bulgogi, mackerel, japchae, and roughly a million other things, most of which cost less than $10. Take your food to go, or heat your meal in one of the microwaves and grab a table." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
"If you didn’t know you could have an excellent lunch at Woori, you might easily pass this Korean spot by. Now you know, so you never need to make that mistake again. Head to Fort Greene Park with a Lunch Special box, which comes stuffed with things like bulgogi, mandu, and kimbap, as well as an extra order of tteokbokki with cheese. There are a few tables, so if you do stay and dabble in a midday Diet Coke with your bulgogi, there is a high chance they will bring you a large mug for it (with ice), and make you feel extremely well taken care of." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick

"Right now, 32nd Street is lined with lights, turf carpets, and little tents like it’s one big block party. If you’re looking for an exciting outdoor lunch in the area that won’t take too long, try Woorijip. They serve Korean dishes like crispy squid pancakes, bulgogi kimbap, and about 100 other options set up ready-to-serve in a cafeteria-style kitchen. Nearly everything on the menu costs less than $10, in case you aren’t looking to drop a casual $50 on lunch at the moment." - hannah albertine
