Service was amazing, gave a lot of good recommendations, and the food was fantastic, my personal favorite was the strawberry chocolate sweet salt bread and the strawberry lychee jam. It wasn't too crowded and the order to pickup time was quick. Will definitely be going again read more

Tried Salt Bread Ko for the first time and absolutely loved this spot! The salt bread is so crispy on the bottom and soft and savory on top. The texture was amazing and pairs so well with the spreads. I got the guava (seasonal flavor) which was so fragrant and fresh as well as the kimchi bacon which is perfect for the savory peeps out there. The bread is baked fresh every 30min and the staff were all so friendly. The heirloom tomato bread tasted SO FRESH and came with the green onion spread inside, making it super refreshing. This spot is great for a delicious and quick pick me up or even if you want a quick Matcha Latte! I highly recommend and would definitely be back‍ read more

This review is only for the salt bread. We arrived at the store. The staff asked us to wait as a fresh batch was coming out. They were very friendly and efficient. The bread was soooo good! So warm, fresh, soft! Tastes heavenly! Of course the price was a little bit steep...3 breads for $14. But it is worth the price. Will definitely go back and try other kinds next time. read more

Were we hungry or was this actually the best salt bread we've ever had? Literally so good I inhaled it like oxygen. My kind of salt bread: crispy crust, chewy, melty, and perfectly balanced with the butter and salt. And the house-made guava spread...my first ever, and now I can't have one anywhere else. 身為塩可頌的超級粉絲，原本對於美國是不抱期待（目前吃過最好吃的在韓國），這間完全符合我的最高要求，表皮酥脆有嚼勁，好吃到我要忍住才不會衝動一次買十顆，店家每三十分鐘就會出一批現烤麵包，搭配他們自製抹醬（必須說甜和鹹都無可挑剃..我一定會來把抹醬們全部試完），優秀大推 read more

Warm, soft, and chewy salted bread with crispy edges~ it's what dreams are made of. Ordering and payment are completely through the kiosk, wait time for order wasn't too long. Got the Pandan Coconut cream salt bread~tasted so delicious. The combination of buttery salty bread and the sweet cream filling; takes buns/breads to a whole new level. Also, got the iced Matcha Latte, which tasted okay. The star of the show is still this warm salted bun~loved it! thinking of joining their loyalty program to add some more yummy deals. read more

This bread was SO GOOD fresh from the bakery!! The pandan coconut was our favorite but honestly everything we tried was good. I haven't figured out a way to reheat them well, maybe I should be airfrying? It's still delicious the next day but the texture just doesn't hit as well read more

Price notwithstanding, this was a delicious place to try the viral salt bread. I can say that we are big fans! We got the salt bread with chive spread, a chocolate Earl gray tea filled bread, and a classic milk creme bread. The plain bread was delicious, even though we went an hour or so before closing! The plain bread still tasted fresh and I couldn't tell how long ago it had been baked. There's a perfect combination of crunch, fluffiness, and salt. The spread was a nice touch, but we won't get it next time- the plain bread by itself was delicious that it didn't need extra spread. As for the sweet buns, they had a gratuitous amount of cream filling and were not to sweet. A perfect harmony of sweet filling and slightly salty bread. Overall, we will come by again! It is on the expensive side, but so worth it for a treat! read more

Back to Salt Bread Ko after two months and saw they've got some changes since the opening. Instead of hourly drops, they now bake their salt bread fresh in small batches every 30 minutes. The prices also went up: from $10 to $12 for 2 Salt Bread plus a spread, and from $12 to $14 for 3 Salt Bread. I had to wait for a bit for their new batch, so mine was still warm every time I get it. I also just noticed they use Isigny Sainte-Mère butter (a premium french butter I actually use at home!) which makes the bread extra rich with a touch of mineral sea salt. ＊Uji Matcha Salt Bread $6.50 * I was genuinely blown away by this one. This is the least sweet flavor out of all their sweet salt bread I've tried, with a slight bitterness from the rich matcha whipped cream. They were generous with the filling too, as there was matcha cream throughout the entire bread! ＊Strawberry White Chocolate Ganache Salt Bread $6.50 The strawberry white chocolate ganache was light, fluffy, and reminded me of strawberry yogurt. It's less sweet than the strawberry lychee jam flavor I tried before, and the bottom stayed crispy. ＊OG Salt Bread ** Their salt bread is so plump! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with the perfect butter hole and a crunchy bottom. Tbh I liked it even more on its own than with the spreads. But if you're getting spreads, I'd rank (1) truffle (2) chili crisp (3) pollack roe. 2 salt bread + 1 spread for $12, 3 Salt Bread for $14 read more

TL;DR: TOO salty, but maybe we got a bad batch Ended up coming by here and waiting for their next batch of salt bread to be done so we could order. You order at a kiosk inside, which they only had 2, and it gets crowded in there with people who are waiting for their order from the previous batch/waiting to order when it's done. The service was great though. They were so friendly and nice. I think they could benefit with crowd control inside. The space is VERY small, and people who got their order would just stand inside, making it difficult for more people to come in and order/people who are waiting for their order to come out. Additionally, I think they could package their breads a bit better. Separately rather than throwing them in the to-go bags. Overall, their salt breads come out nice and hot. FOOD: ~Original salt bread (2/5): I know the name says salt bread, but these were unbearably salty. The spreads I got were also on the salty side so it did not dampen the saltiness much. ~Black Osetra Caviar with Truffle Spread (3/5): I give this a higher rating because, while it is expensive, it comes with a GENEROUS amount of caviar. This was definitely better than the salt bread itself. ~Nutella salt bread (2.5/5): Still salty, but the sweetness from the nutella spread made it a little better. The spread itself was just okay. Overall, I wouldn't wait in a long line for this again. read more

You can imagine my excitement when another salt bread bakery opened up in NYC! Salt bread has blown up for a reason, and this spot is doing it right. Everything is baked fresh, with new batches coming out every hour. It's buttery, soft, and pillowy on the inside, with a crispy, golden bottom that makes all the difference. Think of it as a cross between a steamed bun and a croissant. They also offer a great selection of dips and spreads like truffle, garlic knot, and nori sesame oil. There was a long line when I went but luckily it moved pretty fast. I need to come back to try more, especially one of their sweet options. read more

Salt Bread Ko is really amazing! The store is located right around k-town and there's usually a line. They tend to sell out really quick within 10-15 mins of opening and make more batches every 30 minutes throughout the day. If you want to grab some on the weekend, make sure to get there early! I tried both the sweet and regular breads and ended up enjoying the regular ones with spreads a lot more as they were super savory. The bread was soft on top but had a nice flaky/buttery bottom with a nice salty kick to it! My favorite spreads of the three I tried was the Scallion followed by Pollock Roe. The Pandan and Strawberry were also great but I felt the sweetness overpowered the flavor of the salt bread just a bit. If you have an air fryer at home, these are perfect to warm at a low temp for a little before serving! read more

We were waiting for our lunch reservation nearby and checked out Salt Bread Ko after seeing the line of people waiting for it to open shortly before noon. We grabbed a pack of 3 + spread to share and while I only had the og salt bread plain it was great warm and pretty buttery. I appreciated that there was a good amount of salt as well for flavor and overall a tasty snack. I didn't try the spread or the sweet/savory combos but they don't have everything available at each hour. Definitely come when a new batch drops for warm bread. read more

A new salt bread place opened recently. It's more of a takeout place. Very limited seating in the restaurant, and a bench outdoor. It has specific time drops (go to the website for the time drops so you can get the fresh out of the oven experience). They still write the time drop schedule on the door but it's easier to go to the website. Yay! I finally timed it with the next freshly baked drop was available. 10 minutes before the bread was baked/cooled down, the employees tells you to put your order in via the kiosks. There is an order limit of 3 breads per person. The savory/salted ones were ready quicker since it didn't need extra preparation. The sweet ones took a bit longer since the employee had to cut the bread open, wait for the bread to cool before piping the cream into the bread. It tasted better freshly baked so enjoy! read more

First time trying it... not sure about the hype since the next store that sells custard tarts also offers salt bread, but let's try this place since I think it is the first place in Koreatown to sell salt bread. I ordered the 2 salt bread + garlic knot spread, pandan coconut, and strawberry chocolate. I preferred the savory over the sweet. The bread itself was crispy on the bottom (so much oil) and soft on top, with a sprinkle of sea salt, which reminded me of a pretzel, just way softer. The wait wasn't too long on a Saturday at 1ish, once you ord read more

"Meh"... it's ok la. I think for anyone who hasn't visited Seoul and tasted their famous salt bread, then this would be OK. Bc in lieu of airfare, you're getting an introduction. I was surprised there's a line around lunch time, since this is more like a breakfast or snack. The line was short, waited about 5-10 mins, before ordering through the kiosk. ( congestion is from the kiosk ordering). Service is that you get a packaged good. Small shop. More than 6 ppl will be uncomfortable. Grabbed their original salt bread, nothing fancy, no spread (bc if it's truly the amazing version with the fluffy butter center, you won't need it) and ... it was ok. Would I buy again? Nah. read more

Wow. I've heard so much about this place from the salt bread hype and never felt the urge to go. However, one day one of my friends who was visiting wanted to check it out and let me just say: I get the hype now. Fortunately when we went, they just came out with a new batch of salt bread so it was hot out of the oven. The bread was so fluffy and buttery on the inside but the bottom was very crispy. We also got their chili spread, their scallion spread, and their kimchi bacon spread. I would say to skip the kimchi bacon as most in our group didn't like it. However, the chili and scallion were big hits (maybe try even mixing them!). Great spot for a small bite in K-town and I will definitely be back. read more

Food 5/5 Value 2/5 Ooomph salt bread ko is officially my favorite salt bread spot at the moment! While the price is definitely on the higher side ($12 for 3), the quality makes it worth the splurge. The bread is incredibly fluffy and soft with a rich, buttery center that actually melts in your mouth, exactly what a perfect Shio Pan should be. I arrived at 10:30 AM and was lucky there was no line. Note: Their flavored options aren't ready until noon, so I'll definitely be back to try those next! read more

Heard buzz about this place and decided to check out. It was just a handful of people inside when I arrived. It is easy to order from the kiosk. There are no registers, so its all card or tap to pay only, no cash. Staff said that maximum that they were selling per person was 3. I couldn't eat too many & was by myself so I ordered 2 with the strawberry lychee spread which was $2.00 extra. There are many spread options. Some are additional. My order was quick and came out hot. The sweetness of the spread mixed well with the salty of the bread. Definitely do need a drink. Places is small with few bench seats, inside and out. Can definitely see this place being a hit when the weather gets warmer. read more

I was so excited when I got off the bus and saw this place right in-front of me! I had been wanting to check it. Guess it was my day. It is an order by kiosk place. They have two kiosks and you get a number and when your number is called, your order is ready. I only had the regular salt bread no fillings inside. But from the menu as you see in my pictures they have a few different kinds that you can have in your salt bread. As I said I opted just to go with the regular one. It was tasty and buttery. I would cone back here as I have gotten into salt bread recently. The ambiance is chill. It is a small place with a little indoor and outdoor bench. read more

I happened to walk by this place a few minutes before the next fresh bake time posted on the door and decided to try it out. The store is tiny but pretty inside and despite the crowd it seemed well-managed with kind staff. I ordered on one of the screens - 2 salt breads and a spread for $12, ~$14 with tax and tip. The bread came out hot. I chose the spring onion spread which I wouldn't do again, it was cold and kind of one-note compared to the bread, I think I needed to go with something sweet or something with more umami. The bread deserved better. The spread portion is good even if it felt a lil overpriced. This didn't blow my mind and is priced like a fancy croissant (tbf I think it's probably the same amount of butter), but it was good. I wouldn't wait on a long line or go out of my way, but if I happened to walk by close to another fresh batch I'd go back to try the strawberry lychee or kimchi bacon spread. read more

Was unsure about this salt bread hype because it seemed like a simple thing and I tend to not like fatty/rich/buttery things. But omgggg. First of all, went during a weekday in the middle of the day and no line. They make salt bread on the hour so make sure to go a little before the hour strikes. That crusty bottom, airy inside, and salty top is delicious and I could easily crush like 3 of these. It's an ode to how you don't need to make things too complicated to make a delicious thing - just good ingredients and freshly made goes such a long way. You can buy them in 3's, or one piece. It's obviously very buttery and naturally savory and sweet. Surprisingly they don't have any sweet creams to dip them in (maybe it's because this is moreso the korean version?) and so we got the everything bagel and chili one - both were pretty good, though I would've loved to see a simple sweet cream option. Anyways right now they are the best salt bread in the city! read more

PRO TIP: use their online bread drop status website!! and then show up early (10-15 mins) if you want to score some piping hot and fresh korean salt bread bc if you snooze, you'll have to wait for the next batch like I did. It's pretty comparable to the salt bread I've had in Korea. I didn't get to try the different creams that they offer, but the bread was still delicious on its own. It wasn't as crispy and decadent as I would prefer. It almost tastes like a healthier version. There is no indoor seating. They don't let you wait inside for the next batch, but there are benches outside for you to wait if you're the first 10 people in line. It feels like they're still working out the kinks with the whole ordering/ bread drop system. Staff is kind and helpful! read more

Salt bread Ko is a small bakery with very limited seating inside. I came early afternoon and didn't have to wait long, but they were definitely sold out of many items. I ordered on the kiosk and got 2 regular salt breads with garlic spread and an Earl gray salt bread. Both were spectacular and definitely a highlight of my trip, but they're not the same as you would get in Korea. The salt bread is very buttery and honestly great on their own, so you don't really need a spread to go with it. The Earl gray salt bread was stuffed with cream and so very soft. We sat on the small ledge inside to enjoy our salt bread, but they also have an outside ledge to sit. If you're around the area and don't have to wait, I'd definitely recommend trying some salt bread here. read more

I had heard such great reviews about this shop but unfortunately, I did not enjoy it as much as I had hoped. However, I will say I only bought 1 of their breads and so I can only share my review on that and not all their items. I ordered their Earl Grey Chocolate salt bread which had sounded delicious. The bread was nice and salty, although I did wish it was a bit more crispy. Otherwise, the bread itself was great! The filling on its own was good too in my opinion, however the combination of salt bread and floral chocolate just did not work for me here. The contrast of flavors seemed to me mismatched. I'd be interested in trying their other flavors, maybe the savory ones or their lychee jam. read more

Must try this new salt bread bakery in Ktown! Bread is soft, pillowy and buttery on inside and bottom is lightly crispy. It comes out freshly baked every 45 minutes. They have several different dips to try from sweet to salty. My favorite was the pandan coconut while my girlfriends enjoyed the salty rich roe spread. The owners were very informative and nice. They use the best ingredients such as the salt from Korea and butter from France. Highly recommend....Go check it out when you can! read more

Short line on a Sunday afternoon for fluffy buttery bites of goodness! Is it like the soft cloud like buttered saltbread of Seoul? No. But it is quite close! The saltbread is fresh and there's fresh bread piping hot that makes it out every top of the hour. We got ours HOT and perfectly accompanied by a kimchi bacon spread. We also got the sweet pandan and coconut bread and that was okay. The highlight is definitely their saltbreads! Give it a try! read more

After seeing all the hype on salt bread, I finally got to try it for myself. There was a short line to order at a kiosk, which was pretty quick. I ordered the 2 Breads + 1 Dip ($12) plus an extra Chili Crisp dip ($4). The bread itself is amazingly delicious --so crispy on the outside, yet fluffy inside. The texture on this is perfection. It might seem like simple bread, but something about its simplicity of buttery goodness makes this really good. The dips are really yummy here too with lots of good options. I enjoyed both the garlic knot and chili crisp, which is great to pair with any bread really. Overall, it's delicious and I get the hype but it's so pricey at almost $5 a piece of bread. read more

Salt bread trend finally reached New York, and I'm here for it. After waited half an hour, they finally let people in, freshly baked bread with salted crisp bottom, and plenty of spreads to choose from. I LOVE mentai anything , so I have to pick pollack roe, but at the end I think the sweet strawberry lychee is suit better with the saltiness of the bread. It's really good but considering the price ( i paid total $31.57 for 4 breads and 2 spreads +tips), long line, and the amount of salt ... won't be a regular, but I'm happy to bring my friends to try. read more

My new fixation! Salt bread is crispy and soft at the same time. They drop fresh bread at the start of every hour so it's helpful to go 10 mins before then as they sell out at about 20 mins after the hour. I recommend getting two breads plus one spread. I like the strawberry lychee spread and the pollock roe. I've also tried the earl grey salt bread but thought it was slightly too sweet. The nori sesame oil spread was okay. read more

Food - This spot bakes fresh Korean-style salt bread every 30 minutes so you know these will be warm and delicious when you arrive. They are also using butter imported from France and sea salt from Korea so the quality is there. The salt breads are fluffy and the spreads and different fillings are delicious. Service - The staff were very friendly and answer my questions, explaining the different spreads, breads, and sandwiches they had. Vibes - Small but cozy space, with seating both indoors and outdoors. Follow on IG @2chenzeats for more food-related content read more

Someone needs to be arrested over the amount of butter they're using here. The new salt bread trend is pretty much a more aesthetically-pleasing version of Auntie Anne's. There is nothing negative I can say about the addictive product they're pedaling here. I liked the nori cream cheese the best of the spreads I've tried, although I would recommend trying at least one brioche plain. It has a ton of flavor and doesn't really need any toppings. read more

The bake drop is at every hour so get there early. I came on a Friday around 1:00pm and there was a short line. It moves fast. There are two kiosks inside where you could order and it's a small space so no seating inside. Around 1ish they informed us that based on the previous purchases they were estimating to run out soon so they started to limit people to 3 salt breads only. Tried the regular salt bread and then early grey chocolate. Regular salt bread was good, buttery, toasted bottom, soft on the inside and a grey crunch on the outside. A bit disappointed in the early grey chocolate as I was expecting the inside to be more of a cream but instead it was really watery so it makes eating much more messier. Wish it had more of a creamy texture. read more
