Shrimp burger was good but when I asked if he can have it cut in half before serving, he was adamant about not doing it. I saw the waiter also rush the people sharing the table with me to leave since there wasn't enough space for new patrons. That made me self conscious about whether I was eating fast enough. The menchi beef katsu wasn't bad- I've never had beef katsu. Overall food is decent

Casual ramen spot located in the FiDi area. We stopped by on a weekday evening and were seated…read moreright away. The restaurant only has high top seating, which wasn't an issue for us. They also have plenty of hooks under the tables and on the wall to hang your belongings, which was a nice touch. I ordered the shrimp katsu sandwich while my partner got the tonkotsu shoyu ramen. Both entrees were solid, but neither really stood out. The sandwich was generously filled with shrimp, including both minced and whole pieces, making every bite satisfying. I do wish the bun had been a bit softer, though I may be comparing it to another katsu sandwich I had recently. The ramen was flavorful and fragrant, especially with the black garlic oil adding extra depth. Our favorite dish of the night was definitely the nori shoyu fries. They arrived piping hot with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy potato interior. I'd come back just for those.

Very mediocre establishment that needs improvement. Will not be back and I don't really recommend this spot.

Very chill. They have a dinner menu set which was a great deal. It comes with an appetizer a sushi and a Ramen. We got the spicy dandan and the tonkatsu. The spicy dandan ramen was delicious. I was surprised because normally the Tonkatsu Ramen are usually the best sellers at Ramen restaurants but I definitely think the dandan was the best by far. It wasn't even a competition. My partner got it and I was regretting not getting it. The appetizer was delicious and pretty standard to what I was expecting. As for the sushi, I didn't have it as I was already full, but I'm sure it was just as good as everything else I had.

It was less than $10 outside of lunch time, which for FiDi is a deal! The service was quick, the staff friendly, and the space clean. I also liked the authentic Korean music and artwork, which gave it a more traditional feel than a standard fast food joint. They have a clean bathroom, too! Overall, I'd recommend this place!

They have a big menu to choose from spanning from fried rice, kimbap, bibimbap, to stews and more. Their signature "make your own bowl" had so many options, came generously portioned, and was so colorful and tasty :D The customization starts with a base: white rice, multigrain rice, japchae (noodles), or salad bases and moves onto a loooong list of toppings. A few of the more interesting ones like bellflower and fern brake roots were sold out when I ordered for dinner. And who else offers a fried egg for no additional charge as a topping? The toppings are yummy by themselves because they are already cooked or marinated. Definitely a great way to get one's vegetables! Proteins include bulgogi, pork belly, garlic chicken, spicy chicken, tofu, and even spicy squid. For kalbi, there's an additional cheese. The bulgogi was well seasoned and hit the spot! A little on the sweeter side but I didn't mind. The texture of the meat is mushier than the usual bulgogi, more of a Philly cheesesteak texture, but tasty nonetheless~ Don't count on this being authentically Korean. The bowls come with sauce options, but everything was so flavorful that I didn't use any! I agree on the hefty portion size; it's enough for a big meal if you're hungry and otherwise two lighter portions. Since the flavors, color, tastes, and flavors were so delightful, I finished it all so don't count on it lasting for multiple meals :) Patrons can order at the kiosks up front or schedule online to pickup. There's plenty of seating that looks fairly comfortable. Service was friendly enough. For more than $20 with tip, it's kind of expensive for a meal, but for the variety, taste, and relative healthiness, this meal was on point!

3.25 stars. Nice to have a northern Chinese food option in this area. They're billed as a dim sum…read morerestaurant and they do carry some, though technically dimsum is more southern Chinese style small plates, and this place serves soup dumplings, noodles and rice cakes which are more northern style. This is one of four 3 Times locations in the Manhattan/Brooklyn area though recently noticed signage outside that reads 5 Times so not sure if it's different now. (Website below still shows this as one of their locations.) Food is decent and I recently had the chance to try several items for take out: - Scallion pancake $6.95 very crispy and flaky, they make these well here. - Shanghai style fried noodles with chicken $14.95 standard fried noodles with julienned vegetables (bell pwith a thicker noodle (not the wide kind though). Felt the serving size was on the smaller side. - Fried rice with pork $13.95 ok. - Wontons in chili oil $9.75 6pcs pretty good the chili oil adds a mild/medium spicy punch. - Pan fried pork dumplings $10.96 6pcs standard, not particularly stand out. - Chicken soup dumplings $10.96 6pcs these had yellow dumpling wrapper to differentiate from the regular pork ones, pretty decent though again wouldn't say standout. Medium thickness of dumpling wrapper (thinner = more difficult to make). - Pork soup dumplings $10.96 6pcs similar prep to the chicken dumplings, I'm not sure if there was vinegar in the soup of the pork dumpling because they tasted a little sour. Like I didn't get sick or anything but I'm not sure why it had that that tinge of sourness though the meat didn't taste bad. - Sesame chicken $17.95 standard. - Sautéed string beans $14.95 good, though pretty much every Chinese restaurant makes these well, would order again. - Sautéed pea shoots $17.95 also tasty, a few older pieces of older/tougher shoots in here though overall good. With soup dumplings for takeout the risk is always that they'll cool, stick together and break so the soup leaks out. No different here. Website and menu: https://www.3times.com
