This place is brand spanking new and is great. I love the decor and the food was delicious. I had the bulgogi bibimbap and miso soup. The bibimbap was full of flavor and fresh vegetables. The "spicy" sauce that came with it was the icing on the cake. It was a bit spicy but not spicy enough to make me submerge my mouth into a tank of water. A-men. I'm looking forward to visiting this spot again and sampling some of their drinks. I can already tell I will pop by here often. read more

The ramen was AMAZING and my friends ordered bulgogi which they also thought was AMAZING.

Ambiance is so welcoming and great vibes. All the food is delicious, you can't go wrong!! Service is kind and accommodating.

So happy to have Slow Loris in the neighborhood! The food is exceptional. The vegetarian Korean stew and tofu kimchi are my two favorites so far. They had a delicious vegetarian sushi roll during their soft opening -- I hope they consider adding it back to the menu. Slow Loris has a few minor kinks to iron out (service can be slow and the top 40s ballads playlist is a little grating), but nothing that's a dealbreaker. I'll definitely be back! read more

Slow Loris - Bulbogi box lunch special - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The restaurant has incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. The food was delicious and the ambience is chic and very well designed. I ordered the K- Ramen because I love spicy food and it was exactly what spicy food should taste like. It had all the heat and still tasteful and full of flavor. The boa buns and bimbop was also very good. Definitely recommend. read more

Slow Loris - Seating - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My wife and I love slow Loris. Great food, great service, great people. We've been going there for two years now and it's one of our favorite sit down spots. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Can't wait until they are at maximum capacity again so we can enjoy some of our favorite meals. read more

My go-to Korean and ramen spot. Their fried chicken wings are soooo good as well as their Bao buns. I've tried the J Ramen and it's tasty, though sometimes the pork is a little too fatty for me. Also their sushi selection is basic but it's reaallllyy good. They include picked radish in their orders as well which I love. 10/10 place read more

They make a mean bibimbap, and when you get it as a lunch special, it comes with a nice little soup although recently, it was miso instead of the usual. Service in the restaurant is fairly attentive although they got our order wrong the last time we were there and couldn't correct it because "the squid was still frozen." They also forgot to put an egg on top of the dish. I think that they should have at least comped us something since they couldn't make it right. read more

Food is great, but you will wait FOREVER every time. No order outside and people (delivery drivers) walk in front of you yelling in the window. Also, our order was given to the wrong person, and they tried to call the person to get the em to come back to bring us our food. We asked for a refund and will not be coming back. read more

Omg this place is such a gem!!! I wish I live close by. I'll definitely frequent this place. I look up a kid-friendly place for us to go after Prospect park zoo. We tried the scallion pancake, pork belly, shrimp tempura hand roll, karaage, they were all great. Fast service and nice staff. read more

Lovely neighborhood restaurant with a nice spread of Korean and Japanese dishes on offer. We didn't try the more interesting fusion dishes on our visit, but we'll be back for them. The Korean style wings were excellent, and the sushi tower (cold entree) was a big hit at our table. Stone bowl bibimbap was perfectly done, and their soft tofu stew is grandma-level comfort food. Excellent cook on the rice, too. No banchan here, but it wasn't terribly missed. I do wish they had a sake/makkeoli/sochu selection, but that won't keep us from coming back. All in all, I'd say this is an excellent weekday family dinner spot. read more

It was a ten minute walk from the Brooklyn botanical garden and we didn't feel like eating there. Service was a bit slow but friendly. The food was very good. My son ordered udon and a salmon avocado roll and loved them both. I had a spicy Korean tofu stew, which was very good. Definitely we will come back. read more

The spicy tuna roll, miso soup, stone bowl Bibimbap with beef and service was outstanding. What a cute date night spot to add to the areas selection. Total gem. Stop looking at other places to compare. Come to this one. Xx read more

I don't know who Loris is, but slow is not the word to describe this restaurant's service - delightful, friendly and perfect timing are more appropriate. I think the owner probably just adores sloths (as in the mammal). We stopped in for a late lunch on Saturday after walking around Prospect Park (Brooklyn's answer to Central Park, same landscape architect team of Olmstead and Vaux). Even after passing by several tempting taco restaurants nearby, I was craving Japanese sushi. The night before I had scrolled through Instagram and got stuck on a photo of Dwayne The Rock Johnson's diet cheat meal - platters of sushi. My mouth had been watering since midnight. Slow Loris' sushi was exactly what I was craving - huge chunks of fresh creamy avocado in the Avocado Rolls ($5 so cheap!), my husband's favorite unagi (teriyaki eel) avocado roll ($8) and the Sassy Seared Salmon Sushi ($14) with spicy crabmeat was drizzled with the most perfect sweet and salty sauce. I was in sushi heaven. But wait, this place also serves Korean food! It was rare sunny day and New Yorkers were outside sunning themselves in the park so we were in the mood for BBQ - Korean galbi bbq ribs and japchae (which had a lot of bbq beef mixed in with the sweet potato glass noodles). It was a lot of food, the bill came out to around $70 but we had leftovers for the next day. The food was so tasty delicious. I love all Asian cuisine, but Japanese and Korean are two at the top of my list and to have a restaurant prepare both well together is a happy day. If you sit close to the sushi bar and kitchen the wonderful aroma of food wafts by your nose. That's how a kitchen should always smell - like grandma is in the back cooking. The inside of the restaurant is cutely furnished and I loved the cat painted around the light switch. Wish we had a Slow Loris in our neighborhood in Manhattan! We'll be back Brooklyn! read more

Came here on Saturday at around 1pm, my group was the only one there, however there was a lot of takeout/pickup. Out temperature was taken at the door and promptly seated after. There aren't any pixie glass or anything to separate you from other groups but that wasn't a problem for us, as noone else was there. Moving on, my friends and I wanted to try many of the items on the menu. We ordered the both k-bao(pork belly) and j-bao (katsu), tuna tartare salad, bulgolgi bibimbop, bbq galbi, crazy monkey roll, and j-ramen. We really liked the sauce for the k-bao, but we all decided the j-bao tasted way better. it might've been the crunch, but definitely tastier. The tuna tartare was also quite refreshing. They give a good amount of tuna, only problem was mixing the salad took awhile as the bowl is sorta small for what they're giving. The bulgolgi bibimbop we got on hot stone. Even after putting majority of the paste into the rice, it wasn't too spicy which was perfect. No complaints here. The galbi looked fantastic, it is served on a bed of onions? I didn't bother to look at the bottom... and cooked kimchi. My friends really liked the kimchi as it wasn't too salty and sorta sweet. The grill marks on the meat was also just enough to not have an overpowering taste. The crazy monkey roll was pretty good, might've had too much sauce but overall didn't destroy the dish. We still finished it. Even for someone who usually doesn't order eel ate a few pieces of it. The j-ramen we thought was pretty good, probably rate it a 7.5/10. The broth was a tad salty though, but if you like it more salty, it may be for you. I do however wish the charsiu wasn't as charred... so it lost a point there. My friends also didn't like the tea egg, it was a bit sweet and my friends didn't like the yolk. I didn't try the yolk so I can't say for myself. But overall had a good experience, would come back for more food. read more

Stopped by with a friend for lunch after trying this spot for the first time a few weeks ago, and this meal was just as good as the last. Great quality food with consistent flavors, great service, and reasonable prices. Definitely a new fave. read more

Where to start? This place is perfect for a tasty, authentic bite of Korean food and sushi. Sometimes, I dream about the kimchi pancakes my Korean childhood friend's mom used to make me - this place is the first to hit the spot when it came to finally fulfilling this lifelong craving. I came here on a whim after reading some good reviews, and I was so delighted that they had everything I've been craving here. Some of my personal favorites are the kimchi pancake (crispy, delightfully and perfectly greasy, flavorful) the soondubu soup (super flavorful, piping hot, with the softest tofu in the world) and any of the special sushi rolls. The spring rolls from the sushi bar are great when you want a light, healthy snack as well. Somehow, greens are 10 times more delicious when they're wrapped in rice paper. Not sure why. Service is excellent! Sometimes it is really busy but they always are able to accommodate any of my requests. Everyone is very friendly even when it's super busy. I try not to order delivery too much here when it's lunch rush hours, though, as it can be a bit slow. I try to order more towards the early afternoon or towards the end of the night if ordering through Ubereats or whatever, and everything ends up coming on time. However, service indoors is wonderful all the time and honestly I have no real complaints. Ambiance is amazing! Such a cute little spot and is so nicely decorated. Love the sloth theme and the shirts all the servers wear are absolutely adorable. A lot of love clearly went into this restaurant (which I am assuming is a mom-and-pop restaurant). Very versatile ambiance - can be used for date nights especially with its rustic features, and also a good spot to just hang out casually with friends. I've done both. ALWAYS a good time. Also, they have good spirits here. Love soju and sake, which they have a surprisingly wide selection of. Such a huge fan overall, hopefully they stay here forever! read more

LOVED the place. The inside ambience is beautiful, the service is great and the food is AMAZING. Beautifully served, and came in less than 10 minutes. The servers clearly care about the customers. Everything I ordered (pork kyoza, crazy monkey roll, and mochi ice cream) was delicious. The ingredients were very fresh and came together perfectly. Can't wait to go back and try their Korean section. Overall 100% 5 star restaurant and I highly recommend !! definitely a staple to the neighborhood. read more

If you have tried the restaurants in K-town, then this place is just ok. If not, I can understand why all the 5-star reviews. Taste is not just in the sauce. The meat needs to be marinated. And without the sauce, the meat, be it chicken or beef, were quite bland. Sorry. read more

I'm a regular at slow loris and their food is awesome!!! i'm a big sushi fan and this spot is amazing for that. i've never once gotten sick from it, which i happened to read from someone else's review below, and i order from here at LEAST once a week from seamless - in fact, the only issue that i've had with their sushi is that i eat it way too quickly because it tastes so damn good!! the j-bao, k-bao, and korean fried chicken are all great too. the baos always look so cute!!! i can't wait to expand and try actual hot korean entrees from here, because my roommate is a big fan of the bibambap and the scallion pancakes, but their sushi truly is amazing and i can't seem to deviate from it lol! if youre a sushi fan like i am, go try the baked hawaiian roll and the volcano!!! i'm also a big fan of the nigiri and the simple sashimi pieces. they're always so fresh and tasty, and not weird and chewy like some places. great quality, always. also, i made this account mostly because i wanted to give this lovely place a review/quick shoutout, so that should say something about this place!! go check it out!! and thank you to everyone at slowloris for the delicious comfort food you guys provided me during the pandemic. i'm going broke because of you guys lol!! all worth it though read more

Slow Loris is simply exceptional. They have so many selections and prices are great. Excellent menu items, Bulgogi Bibimbap was my choice and it was really magnificent. Workers are extremely friendly. They're accommodating, well-mannered and always on their game. Glad to see a place like that in this area. read more

Ok food! A cute place because it has a sloth theme and you see em inside the restaurant.

I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant this bad in my life. The service was so comical I thought I might have been on candid camera. They gave my food to the person seated next to us and after the customer took a few bites, they finally registered that it wasn't their food. When the waiter was notified, they asked if I simply wanted to eat the order that the customer next to us had already started. What the actual fuck! When I told them "No" they simply went in the back and rearranged the already eaten food and presented it back to me. I know this because one roll was missing on the dish . On top of it, the food was soooooooooooooooo blah! Not a standout unless you are in an absolute bind, which let's hope you never get to that point. read more

Great atmosphere and very clean. Really cool decor inside and the staff was very polite. The K-Bao was DELICIOUS. Fresh and exactly what you want it to be. We LOVED the miso soup as well. Try the Korean pear juice! Yummy! read more

This place had it all, ambiance, flavor, variety, good service. Can't wait to go again

I came here to celebrate a birthday. It's a quiet hidden gem! Or perhaps not that quiet since there were tons of take out/delivery orders. I understand why because everything was delicious! The service was just as great! read more

Slow Loris - Scallion pancake - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is awesome and I'm super happy it exists in a neighborhood already filled with some excellent bars - now we have a fantastic food option to keep us satiated before we fill ourselves with ethanol. The place is not terribly large but could fit a decently sized group of 4-8, and they have plenty of smaller tables for 2 people. The waitstaff are really genial and I thought they were attentive and quick. I got the bibimbap with bulgogi in the regular bowl - the stone bowl makes no significant difference but it probably keeps your food a tad bit hotter than the regular bowl and it looks cool. It felt authentic and well-balanced and it was reasonably priced. It's the perfect place for a super casual meal and they play some classic and new school Kpop bangers. Enjoy! read more

Yummy all the time. Delicious tasty food whether it's an appetizers or a whole meal. Slow Loris brings a you a great meal, healthy, yummy, delectable all the time read more

Ordered a rainbow roll and salmon avocado roll from here on a Tuesday evening. The sushi came to me warm and was especially fishy-smelling. It tasted alright but next time I'll probably order my sushi from somewhere else. The wasabi was a hard rock. I'll give them another shot-hopefully the Korean food is better. read more

So good. A real treasure. It's like this hidden little spot I just walked right past for so long. Now I eat there all the time.

They food is ok. Obviously not comparably to food in queens but I always order their food because they are nice and convenient. However I have the worst experience with the delivery apparently. I always tip them $5-$8 cash depending on how fast and warm my food gets on time. And this usually happens via seamless. Their spicy pork and bulgogi is good however the kimchi fried rice is overly sweet ( I did appreciate the runny egg) and their kimchi pancake has good texture. I don't think I'll be re ordering from slow loris via yelp or seamless again. read more

Really enjoyed our meal at Slow Loris! My friends got Jeyuk Kimchi Bokum and the chicken teriyaki and the Korean fried chicken and I got sushi! They loved their dishes, especially the fried chicken and I enjoyed my rolls! The spicy tuna roll was actually spicy just the way I like it. I've had better sushi but their rolls certainly were nothing short of delicious and it fulfilled my craving. So happy to have some more Asian cuisine in the neighborhood. Next time when it's not so hot out, I'm trying the Sundubu-jjigae because that's one of my top favorite dishes. Service was fast, but our dishes didn't come out all at the same time so there was some hesitation to start eating. They were super friendly all around and very accommodating! FYI- they don't have their liquor license yet but I think they're working on it! read more

This is my go-to Korean spot. The Bulgogi Bibimbap is my #1 order, but the kimchi fried rice, wings, and bulgogi on their own are yummy and make great leftovers. Occasionally I'll get a few sushi rolls and it's always fresh. They are attentive in how the food is packed up and consistently deliver earlier than the expected time so my food is still hot. read more

I was deeply craving tofu soup and tofu soup is just a little harder to find in this area of Brooklyn, so I was super excited to see that Slow Loris was in the area! There is a lovely warmth to the decor inside and there were quite a few seats open during prime dinner time on a weekend. As it turns out, delivery is quite popular here! The plethora of people who were ordering delivery really took away from my dine-in experience--the staff was in a bit of a frenzy and our waitress was pretty distracted as my table was trying to order. Our food came quickly, which was great, but my soup tasted rather bland and I didn't get the pleasure of scorching my tongue the way I normally do when I order soup as it wasn't blistering hot. I did like the fact that their menu had many Japanese and Korean options (Takoyaki anyone?) and the pricing was much more affordable than other marked up locations in NYC. Slow Loris seems to have a lot of potential, so I'd definitely give it another go on a less delivery-heavy day! read more

Small quaint spot on Flatbush. Sushi bar is right next to me which is inviting. It's so cute in here. I had to he dumplings pan fried and the tofu stew which had a delivery delightful broth. I'm enjoying myself . I think I have a new Korean/ Japanese spot near my job. read more

They do their own delivery which was super fast. I want to say my order came in less than like 30 minutes. Everything was delicious. The honey wings were crispy. Sushi was great. Veggie dumplings were ok but still good. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Food was ok, nothing memorable. Place is on the smaller side. Service was good. Nothing bad, nothing outstanding.
