Food Tastes Better With An Amazing View At Kimoto Rooftop In Brooklyn

The eclectic menu at Kimoto Rooftop in Downtown Brooklyn highlights American favorites with an Asian influence that are sophisticated in presentation and playful in concept.

1. Tuna Tartare

Over a bed of creamy, chunky guacamole is a generous portion of fresh raw tuna with pickled jalapeno and sesame seeds. Be sure to scoop up all the goodness on the plate, including the spicy aioli and the sweet soy sauce, with the crunchy, tri-colored tortilla chips on the side.

2. Tempura Basket

The tempura basket features crispy, hot-off-the-fryer tempura that ranges from shrimp to baby calamari in a skewer to potato croquette. The wasabi mayo and the sweet teriyaki sauces that come on the side pair perfectly well with the tempura.

3. Beef Bulgogi Tacos

This fusion dish highlights the cuisines of Mexico and Korea. Stuffed inside crunchy wonton shell are tender beef bulgogi with spicy kimchi slaw. The tacos are topped with thin slices of Asian pair, toasted sesame, and scallion.

The flavors of these delicious flavors are further enhanced with spicy togarashi (top) and truffle & parmesan. Perfect accompaniment to your main entrees, the fries have crispy exterior and moist interior.

Forget all the chicken wings you have had in the past - the Gochujang BBQ Wings will completely change your mind! These wings have the crispiest skins with the juiciest meat. The spicy and sweet gochujang BBQ sauce make these wings even more addicting.

Don't Stop Lovin' Korean Food!

After getting a facial and a back massage, Mom and I went on top of the Hyundai Department Store for lunch. There was a Japanese, Chinese, and Korean restaurant, and we unanimously voted to embrace our heritage and go for the Korean food. I forgot the name of the place, though.

I ordered the "Gondre Rice," which is basically spinach-like vegetables over a bed of rice in a hot stone pot. Mom got the "Ssambop," or rice with lots of banchans (small dishes) that you can wrap with lettuces and other greens. Korean food is always a feast! As you can tell, I am a huge fan of hot stone pot and the crunchy rice at the bottom. This lunch tasted so healthy and delicious. The food itself was nothing spectacular, but just good Korean food that I never get sick of.
The lunch also included bulgogi. It was a bit too watery and the meat had too much fat, but still pretty good for a side dish.
