What Kiiesa B dislikes about Chingoo:

The shumai was very small, likely not homemade, and filled with a mushy filling that only had 1 to 2 small pieces of shrimp. The size of the shrimp was comparable to salad shrimp. The japchae dish consisted mainly of noodles with very few vegetables and small pieces of meat. Overall, it was not worth the $28 price tag. View all feedback.

The soy garlic Korean fried chicken was unreal— as a Korean giving my stamp of approval the food is not only delicious but when I miss my mom’s cooking this place does the job. Great Williamsburg gem. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

The food at this restaurant is phenomenal. Every item on the menu is delicious, especially the bibim bap. The bul go gi portion is a bit small for the price, but still tasty.

K5 Teriyaki was average. It did not stand out for its price and there are better options in the area that are equally priced or even cheaper. The Korean chicken wings were tasty but too expensive. Considering the price, I would have expected them to be served with rice or other accompaniments.

My only complaint is that the entree seemed like a small portion, especially on the protein . It is a bit overpriced but absolutely delicious.

This is a great no frills spot! The wings and teokbokki were so good and they have a great selection of soju as well. The service was super fast and easy to ask for vegetarian substitutions, can’t wait to go back.

This is a nice homey feeling Korean restaurant near Graham Ave L train station. It's so convenient location, so I wanted to try. I had spicy pork bibimbup in hot stone bowl, comes only with a small kimchee as free side dish. The atmosphere, service, and menu are wonderful, but I didn't like the bibimbup the way they cook. It had A LOT OF black pepper in the white rice, and tasted very differently from the one I know. I'm an Asian, I love spicy food, but not black pepper rice. Maybe I'll try a different dish next time to see...

The food was good but disappointingly small portions. The bibimbap had about 3 oz of bulgogi max, and I was still hungry after finishing.
