    Budae Jjigae (Small, perfect for two!) and Yangnyeom, Korean Juice with Pulp - Grape
    Lena T.

    FIRST OF ALL, this was such a nice surprise to a chaotic evening. Worth the trip to Brooklyn in spite of the rainy weather, the ambiance was intimate, simple, and very relaxed. The service was PHENOMENAL, so friendly and welcoming as well as so sweet we met the owner's husband AND his lovely wife, the head chef and mastermind of the brilliant dishes we had tonight! Everything was delicious, but the star of the show was the 'Tteok Galbi' which was incredibly unique, the patty was not grounded rather chopped finely and hand molded and was so tender and juicy, it was perfect on its own but extra good with the ssam and lettuce!!! Honestly, the next time I visit NYC I know where to go, such a gem and definitely worth the trip over, highly recommend checking it out!

    I've been eating Korean food for 40 years, have been to the best Korean restaurants in Korea, LA, Atlanta and New York. Namdo sets a tone seldom experienced. With their culinary and hospitality. Usually Korean restaurants are busy to get you seated and out the door but Namdo, you feel like a celebrity. They treat you so well and the food is the same level. I've eaten here 8-9 times now and we try to get a new dish every time and they are always amazing. The flavors are home and I always leave feeling better than I came in. Don't be surprised when they get on the Michelin list and it becomes difficult to dine here. Oh, and we just moved a few blocks away. It may or may not be so we can be closer to Namdo.

    Stumbled upon Namdo while looking around the Williamsburg neighborhood for a place to have lunch. The quaint spot ended up being an amazing find. To drink, I had the Yuzu cocktails which I enjoyed. We started with the Mandoo, which you could tell were homemade and amazing. We then split the Yangnyeom Fried Chicken which was crispy and also delicious. Finally, we had the Jeyuk (spicy pork) which was also very tasty. The owner (I believe) and staff were incredibly nice and welcoming. This was definitely worth the trip over to Brooklyn!

    As frequent KBBQ eaters, my boyfriend and I decided it was time to try a more refined take on…read moreKorean dining. Since I was staying in Brooklyn for work, Haenyeo was an easy choice for a date night dinner. We went on a Thursday evening around 8pm. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately without a wait. The restaurant was fairly busy; if you're planning ahead I would consider making a reservation. We started with an order of the Japchae. Then we ordered the Bibimbop with chicken and the Bulgogi. The Japchae was underwhelming. Not a strong flavor profile, leaned sort of bland. The entrees were much better. The rice in the Bibimbop had a really yummy crispy layer. When all mixed together, it's a great melody of flavors and textures. The Bulgogi was equally enjoyable. Definitely recommend the red spicy sauce it comes with. We shared both entrees among 2 people and felt the portions sizes were decent - neither left hungry. The service was okay. We didn't seem to have a dedicated server. It felt like all the wait staff takes care of everyone simultaneously? Everyone was friendly; there was just a long wait for someone to come for our food order. If you're looking for an authentic experience with Korean food, this may be the spot for you.

Last night we decided it was time she try Korean food, and specifically he wanted to choose a Bib Gourmand restaurant. We booked this reservation the same day, and watched spots get taken as we booked on the website! Street parking wasn't hard to find and we were greeted and seated immediately. We loved the calming atmosphere inside and had a table with a view of everything. After offering us water, we decided on drinks. I ordered the Velvet Reviver, which was described as an espresso martini meets a White Russian. It was delicious and almost like a dessert drink. My boyfriend ordered The Squid & The Whale which grew on all of us, especially paired with our food. To start, we shared the Yache pajun (vegetable scallion pancakes) and the Dukboki fundido (a Mexican inspired spicy, hot, cheesy dip with my favorite chewy Korean rice cakes inside). The scallion pancakes were delicious and had much more texture than once I have tried in the past, paired with a perfect vinegary sauce you can spoon on top. We all loved the dip and it was the perfect amount of spicy and comforting chewiness. I then was recommended a white wine to pair with the appetizer I chose as my entree, the Yeoneo. Each slice of salmon was incredibly fresh, and they were very generous with the amount of row that was served as well. The greens and avocado slices were great as well to add more texture. My boyfriend then ordered a yummy beer and the Daegu jorim. We absolutely adored this dish and noted that the cod had perfect structure to it, that almost mimic that of the deliciously cooked radishes in this dish. His mother ordered the ultimate comfort dish of the night, the Kalbi jjim (with no jalapeños). We were in awe at how the meat fell apart due to how tender it was. If you like melt in your mouth beef and stew like dishes, this is the dish for you. Our food was served with some banchan: amazing kimchi, myeolchi bokkeum (dried anchovies, much more mild than you'd expect), and kongjang (soy beans, also mild and with more chew than a typical edamame you might expect). We absolutely loved our dinner here and how helpful and kind the weight staff was, explaining different dishes and flavors, and clearing and switching out our plates at every turn.

    After seeing reels of this restaurant's crab fried rice, I had to give this a try. We arrived in…read moreFriday night, the staff was friendly and the decor was nice. Seating is a little small, so any parties of 4 or larger probably require a reservation. The food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the Tteokbokki. The dish was purposely cooked to be crispier than what you would normally expect, it was very delicious. The jjapaguri was flavorful and the meat and seafood was great. The main course of crab fried rice was amazing. Poured over a sizzling pan, the waiter made sure we had time to get our phones ready. The dish stirred and seasoned well and had a nice fresh taste. Our dessert was black bean and vanilla, which was refreshing and a generous quantity. Overall, our experience here was amazing and would recommend for anyone wanting high class Korean fair.

    While I would recommend the drinks, I think the food was disappointing.

In terms of food, I mainly went for the crab fried rice. It was decent but rice were kinda burnt and crab was minimal for the extra $7 weeks added for king crab. The chicken karaage was in small pieces and had whack batter. The wild mushroom pajeon was not good at all.

Happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised! Almost everything we ordered was delicious! Both Korean Fried Chicken orders had good flavor and great for sharing. I rarely see Soy Ginger as an option (usually it's Soy Garlic) but I like the slight sharpness it added to each bite. The Seafood Pancake was crispy, loaded with seafood, and paired nicely with the ponzu. The Slow Loris Roll was incredible! The rice ratio was just right, there was a good variety of fish and it was all fresh, the avocado and sauces added nice creaminess, and torching the roll was the cherry on top. The Spicy Bulgogi Fried Rice with Cheese was super savory, the sunnyside egg was cooked perfectly, and the portion was solid. I didn't care for the cheese and honestly could've done without and not noticed. It did need something to cut through the richness. I did enjoy the Beef Galbi much more! It is brought to the table sizzling and smelling amazing. It's savory, sweet, and smoky. I like that it's paired with kimchi & rice making this is complete meal. All in all, I was impressed with everything here! We were also a large party (7 people) yet everything was served correctly and in a timely fashion. Definitely recommend stopping by!
