ㅣ Slow Loris Restaurant Truly felt the soul of Korean comfort food here—what an unforgettable experience. From the manager’s thoughtful hospitality to the kitchen team’s attention to detail, I was honestly blown away. If you’re in New York, or planning a trip, this spot is an absolute must. Flavors, vibes, and service—everything came together for a perfect night.

I'm usually very skeptical of restaurants with different cuisines like what are they actually good at. Sushi from a Korean restaurant? I am happy to report that they do both well! A friend and I shared sushi and a Korean entree that was glass sweet potato noodles with veggies and chicken (Japche I think?). Both were tasty. We came on a weekday lunch and got the sushi lunch special which was such a good deal. Chose the salmon avocado roll, spicy salmon, and eel avocado and would pick them all again. Also had a soothing lemon ginger tea. No wait and great service during our weekday lunch.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Passed it so many times and never noticed it. Eventually found through google. The restaurant has great atmosphere and attentive service. All food that we ordered was really really delicious and the portions are really generous.We can’t wait to come back.

Slowloris offers great service, but the food is a hit or miss. The K-Ramen is exactly what you’d expect based on the description (instant ramen with more toppings) and the kbao was disappointing—thin pork belly with little flavor and too much mayo for $11. However, the beef kalbi was excellent with tender, well-marinated meat, and the bulgogi kimbap was packed with filling. The calamari bokum over rice was also decent with plenty of seafood. Overall some dishes were better than others.

I usually order takeout from this establishment; however, yesterday's pleasant weather prompted a change of plans. The restaurant, while compact, offers comfortable dining and bar seating. The menu is extensive, featuring a diverse selection of dishes, including sushi and soups. I enjoyed my dining experience and will certainly return.

I’ve never actually eaten inside Slow Loris, but it’s become one of my most reliable spots in Flatbush for takeout and delivery. What I like the most about this Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant is that you can order something different every time and still be happy with what shows up. Consistency is the key word here. Over multiple orders, I’ve tried a wide range of dishes: Cream Cheese Roll, Japanese Ramen, Korean Ramen, J-Bao, Kani Salad, Bi Bim Bap, Shrimp and Potato, Bulgogi Fried Rice, and Chicken Katsu. Some are stronger than others, but nothing’s been disappointing. The Bulgogi Fried Rice is my go-to—it’s hearty, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. The beef has that perfect sweet-savory balance, and the seasoning runs through every bite. The J-Bao are dangerously easy to demolish: soft, fluffy buns with rich, flavorful fillings. The Chicken Katsu travels surprisingly well, staying crispy even after delivery, which is no small feat. When I’m in the mood for sushi without overthinking it, the Cream Cheese Roll always hits the spot, and the Kani Salad makes a nice, refreshing side. Both ramens are comforting and flavorful, though like most takeout ramen, they can’t quite match the dine-in version—heat and texture are just tough to preserve in transit. Delivery can take a while, especially on busy nights—I’ve waited around 45 minutes at times—but the food quality makes up for it. The menu is huge, which is great if you like variety but tough if you’re indecisive. Still, it’s impressive how consistently good everything tastes, even after travel. Slow Loris is one of those neighborhood spots that quietly gets everything right. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the fusion of Japanese and Korean dishes feels natural rather than forced. It’s comfort food done well, perfect for a cozy night in. Order ahead if you’re getting delivery, try the J-Bao, and definitely don’t skip the Bulgogi Fried Rice and Bi Bim Bap.

Really cute restaurant with very yummy food! I had the Hawaiian roll today which was delicious but would recommend literally everything on the menu. Reasonably priced food with amazing quality and portions. Wide variety of beer, soju and sake as well, all good brands. Great service and vibe as well! Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone
