1. Haenyeo
Park Slope
Haenyeo chef-owner Jenny Kwak’s brilliance is perfectly captured in one signature dish: the cheesy, melty, ddukboki fundido. It’s a beautiful and utterly delicious mashup of Mexican and Korean flavors and culinary traditions: crisp chorizo and melty Oaxacan cheese, chewy Korean rice cakes, and sweet, spicy gochujang and gochugaru. The rest of the menu at Haenyeo is equally stellar, with a variety of both traditional and not-so-traditional Korean dishes.
