Lovely people and attention! Even the menu isn't 100% gluten free, they make all efforts and care to reach it! I truly recommend if you're celiac and you're visiting NYC!

This place takes a fast-food perspective, offering bargain-priced renditions of things like soondubu, bibimbap, pajeon, and already cooked bulgogi.

Their seating facing the windows is not ideal for socializing, but *is* ideal for browsing through your social media platforms on their free wi-fi!

Sometimes, when you order steak on your salad, they pile that sh*t up. And it's a wonderful feeling.

KuKu introduced a 3-course, box meal ($10) this week. The kimchi rice version, with dumplings and salad, was good on a first try.

The best spot on NYU downtown campus. Great staff. They never forget a name or an order. Jackie is amazing!!

Beware KuKu's foursquare free dumpling special. The new owner says she's been trying to nix the special since the summer ended. (Following some discussion, KuKu did honor it.)

Bring a book and plenty of time, if you're planning to wait for the slow, "quick serve" Korean food at WaWa Canteen. The vegetable ramen soup+pork dumplings were good. But worth the wait? You decide.

Although still delicious, the vegetable ramen is just mushroom ramen. You need to add veggies for $1.50 to actually get vegetable ramen.

Authenticity aside, their beef bibimbap hits the spot.

Ryan is the best...one of the reasons why I keep coming back. The chicken bibimbop is my favorite.

Jackie never forgets a name or an order. Now that's good service. The food's great to boot!

Kimchi stew is awesome especially during cold weather!

If you want to avoid a long wait to enjoy your meal, call ahead of time (at least 20 minutes) and your food will be ready to pick up when you get there!

Soft tofu stew is actually spicy w seafood and super delicious - the small is enough to fill u up

Chicken kimchi fried rice and pork dumplings. You won't regret it.

Mini tiffin was good. It's a cheap meal. To go dosa packing could be better

Get the lunch box, lots of food for $10

Get the beef bulgogi with brown rice and extra veg

Kind of expensive but better than most food around NYU

Fresh and solid. Try the biminbop
Steve MarOctober 8, 2012
Recommending ordering online before showing otherwise expect a long wait. Bibimbop not good at all and not authentic. Kimchee fried rice looked better
Freddie BergSeptember 3, 2013
Considering a quick stop here.

Kimchi fried rice. Spicy. Delicious.

Airplane quality food. Chicken was tough and served lukewarm. Forgot my order. Stay away.
Anthony TownsendOctober 15, 2009
