Try: Soy Garlic Fried Chicken! Why: Delicious crispy fried chicken thighs mixed in savory sauce of soy, garlic and ginger - yum! The large box was huge and would have been great for sharing but I ordered for myself and had leftovers for the next day and it still tasted great! There was even sauce on the bottom of box which I was able to pour back on the chicken after microwaving. The Beef Bulgogi Bowl was ok - beef was dry and didn't have much flavor. I did appreciate how much meat there and it was topped with many veggies. Note: Huge restaurant with plenty of seating. I came on a Thursday night around 5:30pm and there was one person eating and one person behind me that ordered. Food came fairly fast, within 10 mins. My order was to-go so I took it home to enjoy. Also, the worker was friendly and helpful. read more

Bokki Seoul Food - Beef Bulgogi Bowl Soy Garlic Fried Chicken (Lg) - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not sure if the location changed permanently. The address leads to a popup-style Chinese place. I found Bokki inside the Hana Market down the block and around the corner. On a weekday afternoon this is a pretty empty space. So there's plenty of seating, but it's also pretty dark. I ordered the spicy chicken bowl. The description mentions the gochujang but the bowl is basically under-seasoned chicken with a huge scoop of gochujang on top that's pretty overwhelming. The veggies in the bowl were fine. I also got an order of the cucumber salad and it did not taste fresh. I took a couple of bites and had to throw the rest out. Pretty disappointing. Downtown Brooklyn could use a good Korean place. This isn't quite it. read more

This is more of a takeout spot than an eat in, which seems like a waste because they have plenty of chairs/seats inside a large area. The food here was not very good. I got the beef bulgogi bowl, as opposed to entree, which the cashier explained as less protein vs more protein for an $8 price difference. The beef was all jumbled together and the base of brown rice and "salad" consisted of pieces of kale that looked really dirty and some cabbage. Would not come back here and would not recommend you trying this spot as there are other great options in the area for better quality food. read more

Bokki Seoul Food - Beef Bulgogi Bowl - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just went there, it's closed. I walked in, saw 4 people talking at a table not eating. No one at the registers. It was confusing. Yelp says they're open but, no one was in the kitchen. read more

I feel like you can't really tell what this place is from the outside, but once inside you'll see it's a mini food court with one food ordering counter, one bar and dessert display up front. For food, we got honey butter french fries, fried dumplings, a soy garlic chicken bulgogi bowl and a spicy chicken bulgogi bowl. French fries were drizzled with honey butter sauce- the flavor combo wasn't my favorite but i can see it going really well with a nice beer :) The fried dumplings were juicy and crispy- not the typical gyoza shaped ones, Bokki's are triangular and made with a wonton wrapper. Fried to crispy perfection, be careful when you bite in- these dumplings are HOT and will shoot out meat juice. Chicken bulgogi bowls were super good- great portions (it was two meals for me!) The bowls are topped with pickled cucumbers, carrots and onions. They help with cutting the heavier taste of the meat. I'll be back to try the fried chicken! read more

I was in the area for Jury Duty which is never fun. I decided to make sure my lunch was interesting though. While the Starbucks and fast food locations nearby were packed, I wanted to try something different. Bokki's menu looked really promising so I walked over to check it out. The door to Bokki is a bit hidden on the side street, and currently under a construction awning. When I opened the door, I was greeted by the owner and could see directly into the kitchen which I thought was so interesting. There's no dine-in here. You place your order for takeout or delivery only. But that's the charm about it, for me. You truly feel like you are in someone's home kitchen. I ordered the Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowl, and in under 10 minutes it was brought out to me by the owner - piping hot and extra fresh. I'm usually not a fan of filling up too much during lunch, but I cleaned this bowl up nicely. Every bite was perfect. I really hope Bokki gets the traction and attention it deserves. The quality here is amazing. Don't skip it. read more

Bokki Seoul Food - Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowl - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is buried under the scaffolding on pearl street. If it wasn't for yelp I don't think I'd have know aboutit. I decided to give it a try even it looks like the back of the kitchen kinda place based on yelp reviews. There's no much space to stand inside so you order and wait for your food outside, which I don't mind in covid times. The menú is not very extensive. Something I like in small restaurants because you know they specialize of a few things. I ordered the honey garlic shrimps over brown rice. It was delicious and very flavorful. The wait was a bit longer than anticipated so if you can call and order in advance. The owner came out and offered me a mango moctail to apologize for the wait. One drawback I have from this place is portion. The bowl was really small. read more

The food was awful. There is no flavor and I have an allergy to certain items and I told them what allergies I have and they said okay we will make sure it's not in there. I had eaten it because they were certain that it wasn't in there and I had an allergic reaction. Do not eat here. As well as the entire place is empty. No decorations. You could not even know that it's there. Wish I didn't know it wad there. read more

2 stars for the honey butter fries. The black pepper garlic chicken was the best flavored (out of the three) but then we found MOLDY chicken pieces and nearly threw up. Waste of money.... read more

Went here after an event at Trinity Church. It was about an 8 minute walk and worth it. Looks like they are under renovation as they only had to go and two small tables out front. There was not much of a view just across the street from the Brooklyn Friends School ‍. Anyway on to the food. Bangin!! Orrrr we were starving not sure what made it so good. Moderately priced and we had dumplings, fried chicken, shrimp bowl and the garlic butter fries. I was stuffed from picking at that "buffet!" Go here! read more

I ordered beef bulgogi bowl with salad but got rice. They offer to correct the mistake but I was under a time crunch and hate wasting food. I would consider the potion to be small considering the price. Beef tasted good. Vegetable were not fresh and needs a little seasoning. Rice was cold and a little hard. Ambiance was simply and empty at lunch time. Using a recycle bin as a trash does not scream high class. This place needs work before I can recommend but I'll certainly give them another chance. read more

Bokki Seoul Food - Beef Bulgogi Bowl - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Bokki Seoul good is located near the courthouses and makes for a good place to stop and grab a bite from. I had a spicy chicken bowl that came with a spicy sauce on top that was flavorful yet not super spicy to overtake the flavor. It came with rice and vegetables but I thought it was maybe a little pricy since it didn't come with a ton of food but I thought it was good enough to have a filling meal. read more

I ordered the spicy bbq pork over white rice yesterday and it was very disappointing. The pork was very hard and tasteless. The food is definitely not fresh made and has been cooked for at least a few days to a week. They just reheat it and sell it to you. I do not recommend this place for anyone. Sorry not sorry! read more

Absolutely incredible, clean and precise flavor. You can taste the intention of every ingredient that is put into each dish. The Soy-Garlic Korean Fried Chicken is the perfect starter if you don't know where to start on the menu. The fried chicken is pure quality with the perfect crisp. Can't wait to come back. read more

Don't let the location fool you. In fact, it gives more meaning to "hole in the wall" vibes with delicious food and a friendly host to match! I ordered the Honey Garlic Shrimp bowl with a mix of brown rice/salad. The shrimp was unexpectedly flavorful and a good balance with the brown rice/salad mix. The wait time wasn't long and I received a complimentary side of kimchee. Unlike most restaurants, their kimchee is fresh! Take my money, Bokki. I'm coming back. Special thanks to those shrimps for sacrificing themselves for my appetite. read more

Delicious Honey Garlic Shrimp with Brown Rice! Very crispy, hot, and flavorful. The owner was extremely hospitable and friendly. He gave me and my friend free barley drinks that had a hint of watermelon. It was super refreshing, especially on a 95 degree weather day. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

Bokki Seoul Food - Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowl - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This hidden gem is unassumingly hidden beneath scaffolding but is worth discovering. The restaurant is huge, very spacious and not noisy so it's a great place to gather. I recognized one of the chefs from the show CHOPPED! This is the first place I ever found chicken bulgogi... and lighter version of the beef Korean staple! The service is polite and professional! A bonus feature is that in the same space there is a coffee bar and a gelato bar so you can get dessert too! I look forward to going back because they have vegetarian and chicken ramen along with the traditional pork version! read more

- impeccable service - staff give great recs - i like the menu system in which u circle the menu worksheet and hand it in - staff really aim to please - busy lunch time service, please order ahead - I loved the garlic shrimp - the garlic shrimp was better than garlic chicken - bowls are a hearty lunch - bulgogi was alright - no dine in there is outdoor seating, a short block away inquire with staff - boricha tea tastes like tree bark, but i guess you win, if thats what you are going for read more

This place is easy to miss with all the construction going around their restaurant, but don't let that tear you away from how delicious their food is. On top of their "celebrity chef" from Chopped, they have an amazing staff! They serve generous portions for a fair price. And depending on what your order, they usually throw in a sample of their different types of kimchi. If you love Korean comfort food, this is the place to go! read more

Loved it was so yummy I forgot to take a pic lol sorry ! The service ummm she was quick but it's okay mine was take out anyways but it looked so nice inside for sure read more

This business really dipped in quality. I use to religiously order from them and now they will lose a loyal customer. For one, I ordered the soy garlic wings with honey fries. The wings were sickly looking and they had an nauseating slimy texture. The fries were good but they were a bit too salty. My past few orders with them haven't been good. The hell happened? read more

Absolutely delicious! The fried chicken was awesome- light and tasty. The perfect combo of salty and slightly sweet. Loved the crunch They make their own kimchi and it's very fresh. The fried rice was a nice savory. Will definitely be back read more

I am trying to eat healthier so I went with the roasted tofu and vegetable bowl with brown rice and salad. It's always a hit or miss with veggie dishes in terms of taste because it can be bland, but this was flavorful and delicious. I also got a side of the white radish kimchi which may be an acquired taste for some. I usually like to keep places like this a well kept secret, but since I want them thrive and stay open, I'll definitely tell people about it. read more

I've been ordering my lunch from Bokki over the past month, and I've now tried all the lunch bowls. They are all excellent. My favorites are the beef brisket and honey garlic shrimp. The rice (both brown and white) and the side salad are also impeccable. I agree with the commenters that say the meals are assembled with care and expertise. On top of that, the take out orders are prepared quickly and handed over by exceedingly cheerful staff. I too got the complementary kimchee, and it was fresh and excellent (I have very high kimchee standards!). I encourage my colleagues in the area downtown Brooklyn courthouse area to give Bokki a try. Hey, perfect jury duty food! read more

Was craving a Korean-inspired bowl with beef. Got the Beef Bulgogi Bowl with half salad and half brown rice. Unfortunately, the beef was way too salty. VERY SALTY. Was disappointed. On the positive side, it was a huge portion that lasted me for two meals. I did finish it but would not recommend this place. The sauce provided was fine but did not save it. read more

Love the Korean food. Authentic. Quick and tasty. Really like the manager who cares about his customers

Really solid Korean food, absolutely some of the best in the neighborhood! I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but I live in the area and for partly selfish reasons I want to see this place continue to do well. I've had the: - Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowl - Chicken Bulgogi Bowl (w/ Spicy Gochujang Sauce) Both are really well balanced flavor-wise (not too salty or sweet) and both have generous meat portions. Comforting, quick, and reliable. This is the kind of food where if you brought it to a picnic, it would probably be the first dish to run out. Excited to explore the rest of their menu! read more

Very friendly staff! I called to order take out and let them know I would get there in 20 minutes and they made sure to not make our food too early so they would be fresh and hot when we got there. Also gave us free coleslaw because we ordered 2 portions of fried chicken. Food was great too of course. read more

A bit difficult to find because of construction, but I'm glad I tried this place out. I had the beef bulgogi bowl, which I definitely recommend! The bulgogi had good flavor, and the veggies that came with it complemented the dish well. The kimchi was a bit underwhelming. But overall, very nice dish -- it's good for a quick meal. The staff is also very friendly, and I would definitely come back to try the fried chicken, which he recommended. read more

I'm a foodie that works nearby. So, im trying out all the food places around this part. Presentation is good. Flavor is bland. Fried chicken tasted like it hadn't been marinaded. The spicy pork has neither spicy nor umami. But it definitely looks great though as you can see from the pictures. The rice and the meats were cooked correctly. The texture of the foods were satisfactory. read more

Very expensive for take out. I love Korean food. Not sure what this is. Mostly salt and sugar. You'll see

A hidden gem, great food. Quick and easy to order. I hope more people find out about Bokki because the owner and his staff are so nice. The shrimp and bulgogi have been my two favorite dishes so far but I'll be back to try them all! read more

Love me some Bokki. The food is good and the service is even better. They greet you in a way that you know they appreciate your patronage. The place is clean. Love the fried chicken because it's chunks of thigh meat. They stay juicy after the double frying and crispy on the outside. read more

I was excited to find a Korean spot to grab a quick bite at in this area but I was disappointed to find that the food was a little bland. I had the spicy barbecue pork bowl and it came with very tiny portions of thinly sliced cucumbers on the side, pickled onions, and some sliced carrots. The pork tasted like it had been cooking for a very long time, which wouldn't be bad had it been more flavorful. Korean food should always be paired with kimchi and I was sad to see that there was no kimchi included with the bowl at all. I wish the food reflected the prices that they were listed for. read more

Salty and not fresh Really do not recommend such a restaurant. Not as good as shown in google maps read more

Delicious! I enjoyed the soy garlic chicken with buttermilk french fries. It was tasty.

Have had BBQ Chicken's soy garlic but this is the better! Would go so far as to say best in NYC.

no eating inside but food was great order ahead if you want it quick, but the wait time wasn't bad at all. definitely would go back read more

Korean here. This is NOT korean food. It's straight up disgusting. Paid $37 for food that went straight in the trash. Avoid at all costs.
