BigNorm

I just got the kimchi stew and japchae from BigNorm and like…wow. 🔥 The broth was sooo rich and legit packed with flavor, and the japchae? Crazy good. I’m def going to run through the rest of their menu soon. Also, the two ladies working there were absolute sweethearts—so friendly. Love them! 💕

Every neighborhood should have a cute neighborhood home-cooking spot like BigNorm. The cozy interior is decorated with the owner's crafts and artwork. I enjoyed a leisurely dinner and chat with the owner. Tho it's a small space and only a few high stools, if you're not in a rush it's relaxing to sit and street-watch. The owner takes a lot of care to prepare good food and the menu has fun things that you'd enjoy like when going home for the weekend. Thanks for a pleasant visit!

Ordered from here for the first time and will definitely make it a regular thing. Big Norm Bibimbap was delicious and the Nuloongji Bibimbap was awesome!! Crispy rice! Yum. Big Norm sauce is super tasty!

Ordered delivery hoping that this place would be good as there are many good Korean places in BK! Got the kimchi stew and black beans (jiajang) noodles. Honestly, the black bean noodles were mediocre. Was excited for the kimchi stew, but disappointed. The broth was very sweet and barely had any kimchi in it. Very disappointed, the food was expensive and not very good.

Absolutely incredible Korean food; the Soondubu is the best I've ever had. More of a takeaway storefront; I wish that there were more space to sit and eat there (there's only one small wooden bar table that fits about three people), but I can't fault the restaurant for that. I can't wait to come back and try every item on the menu!

Decisions on Smith street… On a gorgeous day in November, it was such a treat to stroll upon a new Korean spot in the hood. It’s super tiny and likely set for takeout, but there was a nice table outside and with the unusually high temperatures my wife and I decided to stop for lunch. and there was a small menu with some usual favorites in the Korean cuisine. Service was quick and friendly and you’ll love the fresh vegetables and flavors served up. Whit had a Japchae (which did come with sticky rice too) and I had the Nuloongji Bibimbap. The crispy rice bottom was just right and when mixed up with spicy Gochujang sauce. We also shared a refreshing Lime Rickey to drink.

I've never had food that impressed me this much. The meal created a progression of increasing delight. This place surpasses what compliments can capture. The staff makes this place feel special without trying too hard. Both tourists and residents will find the quality exceptional.
