I'm not Korean, and I've never been to Korea (outside of a layover in Seoul), but I'm still going to tell you that Kuun is authentic Korean food even though I'm not 100% sure I'm qualified to say so.I have been eating food (including a solid amount of Korean food) for decades though, and thus I think I am 100% qualified to tell you it's delicious. Seriously great. Everything we've had from the banchan to the pajeon to the kimbap to the japchae to the kalbi to the bibimbap to the bulgogi has been super, super tasty. I love that there is serious spice running throughout a lot of the dishes, and everything is cooked so well. I love the ssam boxes they have as a lunch special, with delicious meats, pickled vegetables and other delightful little things that I can wrap in lettuce and shove into my face. It's also an adorable little spot with high ceilings, great service, and just generally a place I am happy to eat. The only drawback is that it's a little pricey (I have a Korean friend who refuses to pay these prices for what she can cook). But the ssam boxes can feed two people with another appetizer added on, and it's not CRAZY expensive (their sister KBBQ spot next door verges on that), just a little more than I want to spend at lunch. So it's a treat, and not a staple of my diet.

Glad we happened across this place. Spacious, modern, comfortable seating. Service was friendly. Although the food took a bit to come out (particularly noticeable with a hungry toddler who cleared the banchan dishes and asked for more), everything was worth the wait. I got the seafood jjamppong which was the best I've ever had. The broth was so rich from the seafood and had exactly the right amount of spicy kick without burning. There was so much seafood (clams, mussels, squid, shrimp, etc.) in the bowl, I needed my husband to finish it. The noodles were so good though, I didn't leave anything behind for him to try.Husband loved the pork jjajangmyun, his favorite go to dish, and he thought it was one of the best he ever had. They were able to accommodate his preference for spice with extra seasoning on the side. Got the chicken kalguksu for our son and he loved the noodles and veggies. He didn't care much for the shredded chicken but we finished the bowl for him. The broth was so savory and hearty. Would definitely return again.

I would give Kuun 3.5 stars if Yelp allowed. I came here to try the hot stone bibimbap and jjamppong (seafood noodle soup) and on the whole enjoyed it. The jjamppong had a lot of pieces of clam and squid in it, and the heat level was perfect. It was medium heat and did not stick around after a sip of water. While the veggies and the gojuchang in the bibimbap were tasty, the downside was that for the somewhat high price of the hot stone bibimbap, I was disappointed at how fatty the bulgogi was. My first two bites were all fat and no meat. Service was pleasant and prompt, and I enjoyed the background music they had playing. I look forward to trying Kuun again to re-review.

Been here twice since they remodeled. Lunch was great. Not busy. Dinner one was busier, happy for them. Best Korean food in the area and probably in the Fort Greene/Downtown BK area. So hard to find good Korean food in NYC unless you live near Ktown or in Queens. Price is appropriate for Korean food in a nice area and nice environment. $30-50 each with food and drinks. Big servings. A lot of leftovers being taken away. I love their hot pot Bibimbap and Kimbap (which is oddly so hard to find). Staff is nice and attentive and I think the change from dark black interior to tan wood is a big improvement. They even give Banchan if you eat alone.

Came here last month for lunch on a weekday. The interior itself is very nice, clean and well-lit. We ordered their lunch sets and a jap chae to share. As with other korean restaurants, they provide banchans however I personally did not love it. I usually love the fish cakes but these ones did not feel like it was made the day of, it was a little hard and not enjoyable. Everything else was just okay. Jap chae came out first and personally thought the noodles were on the hard/chewier side. My husband thought it was good though because it was on the sweeter side. Our meals came out shortly after and I think the star of the meal was truly the meat! We got the bulgogi and short ribs and both were really tasty! They also give a decent amount per order. We left satisfied. Overall, we enjoyed the overall meal!

I love this place so much! The food is authentic, very flavorful, and good portioned. There are not too many seats inside, but I've never had to wait long to be seated the few times I have visited. I have also ordered through DoorDash since I am in the neighborhood, they put a lot of care in the packaging as well! I definitely recommend if you are looking for some yummy authentic Korean food and want to sit down to have a nicer dinner.

New opened Korean restaurant at Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Great atmosphere and music for 3 stars but not a great experience. Nothing was surprising about food but they are ok. I would say luck of Umami and overcooked. I kinda wish it would be more than somewhat but service wise they could have been better.

The place itself is super cute and super clean! The lunch set we got (with bulgogi) was pretty good but just on the sweeter side. The pork we got was also good! This place is on the pricier side for what they had, which is why I gave a 3. The server was nice and it was pretty empty there so I don't think there's a wait time!

THE FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS. I especially loved their mandu (it was SO juicy). Their pork kimchi stew was also so flavorful, the kimchi was really really good. I would totally order the rice cake skewers again. I do wish there were more side dishes and the kimchi fried rice was pretty mediocre.But overall it was such a clean and aesthetic restaurant. Super friendly services. Loved it here!

Pretty good food and vibes!I think the price is a little too much for the portion they give. However I do enjoy the honey pork belly a lot and the kimchi soup!They also give one bowl of rice for each main dish we order so there was a lot of rice.
