BigNorm

Korean takeout counter · 1 location · Brooklyn: Carroll Gardens

A tiny Korean takeout counter on Smith Street with two stools and a bibimbap menu. It comes from the family behind the Mill, the Columbia-area Korean restaurant that closed in 2021 after 35 years, and the lime rickey came with them.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

BigNorm is one Korean takeout counter on Smith Street, run by the family whose Columbia-area restaurant closed in 2021 after 35 years. No outside investor is on the public record and it does not franchise. It names no suppliers and publishes nothing about pay, so there is little a customer can check. It answers to that family, not a fund.
