Namdo Brooklyn — Restaurant in New York

Walking into K-TOP was like stepping into a cozy corner of Seoul, where the vibrant energy matches the bold flavors on offer. From the moment I entered, the cleanliness of the place struck me, especially noting that the restroom was among the cleanest I've experienced in a dining establishment.

The service was swift and efficient, complemented by the friendliness of the staff, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. A shoutout to the delightful staff member who served us with a smile — it's little things like this that elevate a dining experience from good to great.

The food was a standout, with the chicken wings and bites perfectly encapsulating the ideal of Korean fried chicken — thick, crunchy, and coated in a mouth-watering glaze that promised flavor in every bite. The accompanying sides, such as the crisp French fries and tangy pickled radish, added a nice balance to the meal.

The drinks menu didn't disappoint either. The selection of Soju and Beer was excellent, with each sip complementing the meal and enhancing the flavors.

Pricing felt reasonable for the quality and portions served. Whether it was the 8-piece chicken wings at $14 or the various Korean dishes on the menu, I felt the value was justified.

To wrap up, K-TOP is a gem that serves up not just food, but an experience. It's a place where every detail, from the menu's design to the festive decor, is thought through. If you're in the mood for some authentic Korean fried chicken, or if you're curious and haven't tried it yet, I wholeheartedly recommend K-TOP. It's not just a meal; it's a culinary adventure...

UPDATE: menu has allergen information. Please disregard below. Thank you to the ownership for the quick response, I had come in January and thought my feedback was applicable still but seems like it has the allergen information now.

Original: Menu lacks key allergy information.

Normally, I don't write a lot of reviews, but for people who have nut allergies, I wanted to spread a bit of awareness. I had a Korean Rice Bowl (Deopbap) with Chicken, and apparently it wasn't disclosed that there were bleached almonds in the bowl. I normally am usually careful about making sure that I know ahead of time that aren't nuts in whatever dish I eat, but since it was a rice bowl, I wasn't really expecting almonds in there.

I didn't notice the almonds immediately since a lot of them were deeper in the bowl, so my first bite had a small piece of almond. Once I noticed that, and fortunately feeling no allergic reaction since even a significant amount of almonds give me extremely minor reactions in general, I had to inform the staff. They were kind enough to check if I was okay, and after I told them I was fine, they kindly offered me a replacement bowl without the almonds.

Honestly, in a normal circumstance I would've given this place 5/5 stars. The replacement bowl was quite delicious and the staff was considerate and quite fast. However, given that there may be others with allergies, potentially worse than mine, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that the menu lacks disclosing such an important piece of information. I wouldn't mind updating this review later if the menu were...

Let me start of by saying, I don’t write reviews often unless the food really stuck out to me. This place in particular really amazed me.

About 5 months ago, I drove down to Williamsburg to pick up the newest iPhone with my girlfriend. We ended up staying in the area late up until when K-Top closes. We both decided we would buy dinner around the area so we chose to try out K-Top as we’ve never seen this restaurant before. The man who took our order was incredibly nice! I remember vividly his smile. He was even nice enough to hold our order for us until we came back. The restaurant was packed that night! And for good reason too.

We ordered the chicken wings the first time and chicken rice bowl, but with that being take out, the quality of the food did not stick out very much to me, but the person who took my order was genuinely super nice.

Fast forward, earlier today Feb 3rd, my girlfriend and I return to the area and decided to have lunch at K-Top. We ordered the same exact items. And wow, we were blown away by how great it tasted. The person who took our order and brought the food to us had an incredible joyful manner. The chicken was crunchy and the rice was flavorful.

5/5- I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely eat here again. Although the prices may be slightly higher for food here compared to a Korean restaurant in flushing, the simplicity of the menu, cleanliness of the restaurant and the attitude of the workers is well worth a visit and...
