Pier 53 Sandwich Shop Brooklyn Reviews
Old style NYC luncheonette with a surprising mix of Korean food, served along side deli sandwiches and burgers. Interested in seeing such an odd combination in the middle of Sunset Parks’s industrial zone, we had to order their best seller: Beef Bulgogi. We split a platter of bulgogi with fries (they sold out of rice-must be good) and it was delicious and made rather quickly. Good portion size for $11 plater. There are enough seats for maybe 10 people. This place was poppin! Lots of usual customers coming in and out.
Indoor + outdoor seating as well as take out. Bulgogi sandwich is my favorite here so far.

This is THE place. I think about it when I think of a perfect local NYC sandwich. I wake up late some nights, hungry, dreaming of being here. Get you a sandwich or some chicken or just a coffee these folks will hook you UP. Great prices, great portions, Katz's could never! Respect the dream, tip good!
It was an unexpected find to see Korean food here. Korean fried chicken wings was outstanding and super crispy. Also had the spicy pork which was good but not super spicy. Food was fresh and the people who work here (owners?) was very welcoming and friendly. Look forward to trying the breakfast items next time.
Cheap and good food. They cook it right infront of you. Low key quaint place, no frills. You get in, eat or takeout, and then get out. Its a korean deli too! Love it.
Great lunch spot!! The owner is so nice and friendly. Definitely recommend the lunch specials (Korean bbq beef is great) Will come back again!
A small but simple diner. I like their burgers. Better taste, quality and price than any place nearby or Mcdonalds.
Best iced coffee I’ve ever had. The breakfast platters are delicious and at a great price ! Highly recommend eating here !

I like this place. They make good food. His Korean food is the bomb dot com. Lunch specials are $7.50 so thats good. Now with Covid I dont think you can sit inside and eat but you can take your food to go.

Good food but don't bother asking verifying the price you'll get barked at by the cook.

OLD SOGGY CAESAR SALAD Let's just say fresh food is not their specialty. I ordered a Caesar salad without meat and replaced it with avocado. The price for the salad with chicken is $11 as they advertise. They charged me the same price as a meat option. The salad came with tomatoes (on a CAESAR SALAD), this made the crutoions soak with liquid faster creating a sogginess in the salad. The dressing was very very thin and watery. The lettuce however had to be at least 3 days old. It was so weak, so frail. THE WORST SALAD OF MY LIFE! And they charged me full price. This place does not have fresh ingredients and does not care about customer service.
I got in to a car accident and walked in to ask for some ice for the bleeding wound and the lady was rude and charged me a dollar for some ice. Horrible service
