Super cute small local business that sells "homemade" Korean kimchi with a small weekly menu…read more It is located in a cross section of Bay Ridge Avenue and Colonial Road next to a pizzeria. They specialize in a variety of jarred kimchi that you normally see in grocery stores. The price per jar is anywhere between $10-$15. They also have a weekly (changing) menu offering Korean homemade soups and lunch. I got a pork kimchi ($13 after taxes) and it was delicious. This brought up so much childhood memories of a time when my dad worked at a local Cheung Fun place in Chinatown. You feel something inside that you don't normally get when you go to a crowded / fancier restaurant. It feels like "home" in a sense. I love a small business like Kimchi Kooks Kate's Kitchen because it adds characters to the local business. :) The staff are friendly and because there is an open kitchen, you can see them make your food. Although no seating, you can always grab the food and get a slice of pizza next door and have a meal at the pizzeria's outdoor seating. :)

This was such a cute little gem tucked away on the quieter end of Bay Ridge Ave. I love that it's a…read morefamily-owned small business, and that they have (limited) hot options as well as packaged kimchi and banchan, along with some home goods and instant ramyun. I picked up a small jar of their classic white kimchi ($8.32), which I was so excited to try because white kimchi is traditionally made with pine nuts and it's difficult to find a nut-free version at supermarkets. I thought the kimchi had a pleasant tang, though it was a little savorier than I expected. The variety of banchan was also excellent-- I counted 21 different dishes as well as 4 different types of sauces. I picked up a miyeok and dubu muchim ($8.32) which was a seaweed salad tossed with firm tofu crumbles. I intended to eat it for dinner, but I finished the whole container before I got home because it was so addictive and delicious. If you have any questions, a staff member is at hand but everything is neatly labeled with an explanation of ingredients. Their kitchen is open on Wed-Sun so I'd love to return to try a weekend special, which rotates on a weekly basis. Kimchi Kooks is located a short walk away from Owl's Head Park and the pier, so I would definitely recommend grabbing a few banchan to-go if the weather is nice! PS- A staff member kindly let me know that all the kimchis are nut-free and that if you bring the glass jar back, you get $1 off your next purchase.

Food: This is my favorite market in Brooklyn! All of their food is fresh and good quality. As soon…read moreas you enter the store, there is a section of roasted meats, some hanging in the window and some in large trays at the counter. They sell whole soy sauce chickens, whole ginger scallion chickens, roast pork, roast pig, honey BBQ chicken wings, roasted duck, tripe, cuttlefish, beef brisket, and beef tendon. Their roasted meats are excellent here and some of the best I've had in NYC. Next to the roasted meats is a section of prepared foods with numerous types of cooked dishes including honey walnut shrimp with broccoli, fried fish, pan fried shrimp, sweet and sour pork, braised pork belly, braised duck wings, noodles, congee, soups, vegetables, dumplings, fried chicken wings, pork chops, and so much more. They also sell 粽子 and fresh rice noodles. The prepared foods are very convenient if you don't feel like cooking. They also sell white rice by the box but often run out by the afternoon. In their meat department, they have all cuts of chicken, pork, and beef. Staff working behind the counter help you get the cuts you want, weight it, and add a sticker with the price. They also have marinated meats and other prepared raw items such as fish paste, marinated beef ribs, marinated pork chops, etc. The selection is huge! In their refrigerated section, there are more cuts of meats, fresh vegetables, packaged items such as noodles, dumpling wrappers, and fishballs. They have a section with frozen dumplings and also meats for hot pot. This is a great place to get all your groceries for the week. Service: The staff are very friendly and helpful here, particularly the store manager, Eddy. My family and I shop here regularly (sometimes a few times a week), and everyone there is always very welcoming and provides wonderful customer service. They let us know about new products and also take the time to give useful cooking tips based on what we're purchasing. The staff make it very pleasant to shop there! Ambiance: The store is very bright and clean, unlike many other markets in the area. Although the store is not big, everything is well organized and kept neat so it's easy to shop in there. Overall, I would highly recommend this food market!

We usually head over to Mitsuwa in Edgewater whenever we want to buy specialty Japanese food goods, but figured we'd check out Sunrise Mart since we were visiting Japan Village. My husband found some vegan miso soup packets and bought a bunch of those to try. Because it was a hot summer day, we didn't get produce or anything frozen, but were happy to see they offer a good selection of both. While he was getting real food and pantry items, I perused the snack aisles and beer cases haha. While it's small in square footage, it makes the best out of the space so there's a wide variety of grocery products. I can't speak to the fish or butcher areas because we're a vegetarian household (he's vegetarian and I don't cook non-veg because of cross contamination concerns), but I thought that these sections looked good to me.

The lady behind the counter was super nice, and who I assume is the owner was very diligent about refilling the onigiri rack. It seems like a lot of students come here for the onigiri, which are very affordable and have great portions compared to other spots, especially at three dollars each. They also have breakfast deals where you can get two onigiri and a coffee for around $7.50, or three onigiri and a roll for $9.50. You really cannot beat that. They also have steamed buns at the counter and a variety of other Asian products like frozen foods, snacks, Pokémon merch, ice cream, and more. It is basically a small, quaint corner Asian market with a little bit of everything. You can also get inari sushi, which is four pieces for around six to seven dollars. That is one of my favorites and usually priced much higher at other places.
