Reader report: K'ook has closed on 6th Street

An EVG reader shared the news that K'ook has closed at 324 E. Sixth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

The reader called on Sunday to place an order and was told that the restaurant serving both traditional and modern fusion Korean food was permanently shuttered. 

While there isn't any official notice, K'ook is no longer on any of the delivery platforms... and someone removed all the signage from the space's exterior. 

"I'm devastated by the loss of traditional Korean cuisine in this neighborhood," the reader told us. 

Chef-partner Felicia Park who worked at Hanjoo on St. Mark's Place (her parents ran Hanjoo in Flushing) opened here in the spring of 2015. 

K'ook took over the address from the short-lived Jewel of India, another loss of the rapidly dwindling Little India at the time. 

The owners of Jewel of India were also behind Raj Mahal next door... and we can't recall the last time we saw that place open...
Malai Marke is now the last Indian restaurant on this block of Sixth Street.
