Profile

Located on a quiet, gentrified block by the second stop on the L train, this Williamsburg takeout joint offers health-conscious hipsters pan-Asian eating that is at once affordable and yuppie-friendly. The Korean staple bul-go-ki (thinly sliced marinated barbecued beef) is Americanized in a wrap sandwich version complete with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mayonnaise.

The place isn't much to look at but it is clean and the quality and freshness of the food is remarkably consistent. Try the salad with grilled chicken with a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Its a great lunch choice with good selection and great prices.

Just don't go.

Do yourself and your belly a favor: don't go to Lady Octopus. It's awful and regrettable. To say it's Korean is a shame, and to go so far as to call it health-conscious is almost funny if I didn't have to eat all the deep-fried food for a meal once. What's more, the lady behind the counter was rude and wouldn't even give me a menu.
