The opening adds a large-format Korean barbecue option to a stretch of North Brooklyn known more for casual venues. Its waterfront setting and size position Lalaon as a destination for groups and special occasions.
What Lalaon Offers on the Williamsburg Waterfront
Lalaon spreads across two floors and centers on Korean barbecue cooked on grills built into the tables. The kitchen features house-aged meats alongside Korean dishes such as stews, soups and banchan side plates.
The drinks program highlights makgeolli, a traditional Korean rice wine, served in a range of styles. The team describes the venue as a waterfront gathering house inspired by the riverside culture along Seoul's Han River.
